Education Crisis in American

The education crisis in America has probably been an issue for some time now. The ability to track and compare ourselves with other countries has become a reality only within the last 12 or so years. OECD Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development began tracking statistics through a program called PISA, which stands for Program for International Student Assessment. OECD began this testing and tracking in the year 2000. So the information simply was not available prior too. Now that this information is available countries were shocked at where they ranked against the 32 countries information was gathered from. The reality of America, considered the greatest country in the world ran...

Phaedrus, Communication and Technology

The Phaedrus, Communication and Technology During the time of Plato’s Phaedrus, switching to the art of writing rather than speaking was a drastic change. In today’s society, we use communication through technology rather than speaking. Socrates creates an excellent argument when stating, “The same is true with written words. You’d think they were speaking as if they had some understanding” (275D). It still remains true today that information and intelligence will be lost through writing and technology. This essay will display how communication loses meaning by the Internet, texting and social networks. Communication has changed dramatically by the Internet because it is such an acc...

Attitudes

Attitudes, Everybody has one and I probably have one of the weirdest ones. Not really, I try to surround myself with people who’s personalities match mine ,well are at least close to it. I consider myself a laid back, shy, funny, random person, the people who are always around me and know me wall say I am weird, a naïve sweetheart, potty- mouthed, goofball tomboy. So their descriptions aren’t that different from mine, Obviously everybody agrees with this one I am a closeted NERD. But I actually like being a nerd, I love surprising my nerdy goofy friends with my superior knowledge of all things manga, amine, Marvel and DC comic worthy. But I wasn’t always my suave, sexy and confident self, (...

In the words of late Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, "You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea." Since the beginning of time there have been protests all over the world; from human rights issues, to government cover-ups and secrecy, etc. Some are bloody, while others remain relatively calm. Have you ever heard of protests where the protesting is being done behind the wheel of a car? It might sound a little far-fetched, but that is exactly what is going on in Saudi Arabia. Woman are flocking to their vehicles, getting behind the drivers wheel, and running simple everyday errands we as Americans take for granted...

George Washington

Mason Henry George Washington February 22, 1732, a date that should be forever enshrined in the history of the United States. This date marks the day that America’s centerpiece was brought into the world. George Washington, arguably the forefather of America, the foundation of which our country was established. I believe that if this man wasn’t a part of the revolutionary era, the whole fabric of society of America would be drastically different. We would be a whole different country without this man. He created and laid out the foundation and established the greatest Country in the world, he did so with a formal education of an elementary school student. I could talk endlessly abo...

Illegal Immigration Illegal Immigration Taia Hay It’s hard to imagine a worse example of bias than the coverage of illegal immigration. Every week there are stories all over the U.S that lower the issues of illegal immigration. But look at the facts and the media’s bias towards illegal immigrants, it’s clear. Many reporters often forget to mention that the immigrants they write about are illegal immigrants. For example in an article that appeared in the San Antonio News last year “Hunt for border crossers is on ground and in air,” the reporter used the words “immigrant” and “immigration” five times but he could even once use the word “illegal. It’s not right to gloss over the differen...

Addiction Simulation Exercise This exercise made me realize how hard it really is for addicts to hide their addictions. It was very hard to hide this from my friends since I hang out with them the most. I felt scared that they would think of me differently and judge me, if they knew i was an addict. At first it didnt bother me if i didnt have it, but as the time went on, i felt like i had to have it with every dring because other wise it didnt tast the same. I felt like i couldnt enjoy the drinks the same way withought the ice cubes. I felt i was becoming a different person. When I was hanging out with my friends that were addicts too, it was a lot easier bec...

Literary Analysis of Night and Nervous Conditions

Literary Analysis of Night and Nervous Conditions "Every question [possesses] a power that [is] lost in the answer" (Night). Night focuses on the conflicts of mysticism and conventional religion, of belief during tribulation, and of individual humanity in the most destitute situations. Contrastingly, Nervous Conditions questions the power of the individual struggling against a society that encourages self-subjugation and passive acceptance. Despite this apparent difference in analytical goal, both ultimately pose questions that force the reader to confront his own ideas regarding life, death, and the Meaning behind our existence. Night challenges the conventions of institutionalized relig...

Friendship Does Not Even Begin to Cover It “ Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars… So whenever you feel alone just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.” The Lion King is a musical that almost everyone grew up with. In the quote above, Mufasa is telling Simba that no matter what happens he will always be with Simba. Aside from hearing this from Lion King, a dear friend of mine told me this before he died. On May 28th 2004, I was breaking in a new horse on one of the wooded trails in Oklahoma on my uncle’s farm. The horse was fairly young, as was I to be riding by myself, yet I had enough experience to go al...

Ptsd Short Story

I never usually like waking up Friday mornings. But every since junior year in college, I decided to change my lazy ways. My music teacher, Dr. Murphy would always cease everything and stop the whole class just to say something to me. "Excellent timing John! You’re almost in time for the second part of the lecture." Even though I would be hardly five minutes late, I’d walk through class and plop myself in the last available desk; which happened to be the seat closest to Dr. Murphy. Even though he despised me, he couldn't ignore my raised hand 95% of the time he asked the class questions. A fellow classmate of mine, Robert Green would try to answer every single question with me, just because ...

Forests

Man has been cutting down forests indiscriminately and today the trend is not only to save natural forests but to create artificial ones. Deserts are made to bloom! The Imperial Valley of the Sonoran desert in southern California has been converted into a green patch which yields crops all the year round. Forests are not to be considered merely as a direct source of wealth; they are to be considered in relation to the national economy and geography. Forests serve many purposes. They hold together the soil and prevent or minimize soil erosion. The oxygen in the air is replenished by forests and plankton in the sea. Trees and plants, during photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and release ox...

In my many adventures to Northgate and other social gatherings, I have witnessed on many accounts the effects alcohol has on the self. Focusing mainly on the interpersonal self and the agent self, I have noticed how people change the way they act while drinking in social situations. These changes have been noticed in friends, strangers and me as well. Several things occur to people’s interpersonal self and our behaviors when we are drinking. Self-presentation seems to dissipate more and more as drinking goes on throughout the night. Many college students consume alcohol at levels that are typically associated with unhealthy physical and social functioning. The negative consequences of coll...

Images of Childhood In this assignment I plan to briefly explore the images of childhood through history, the eyes of the media, class, religion, economics, Western and Non-Western Worlds. Furthermore, I am going to give my views on the Children’s Experiences of Short-term Accommodation work of Jane Aldgate and Marie Bradley. I will start with what childhood means to me: Playing with my friends for hours on end, tea-parties in the garden with my cousin, who is a few years older than me, along with our teddies and dolls, Wearing my mother’s heels pretending to be a grown up. It seems that my childhood was a warm and happy place in which I had learnt about the adult-world through play, and...
