The article, “The Evil Swirling Darkness” by Lauren Tarshis, said that people ignored the first signs of warning that a tornado was coming. This shows that danger can be real, even if you don’t think it is. For example, the text states that, “The family prayed for the safety of their missing relatives.” There were survivors, and they had hardships in and after the disaster. There are many effects of tornados.…

As Europeans spread into the New World, their sense of superiority and entitlement can be found in the various laws that failed to protect the indigenous people’s culture. The passage of NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) in 1990 would slowly begin to rectify the hurt, damage, and atrocities committed in the name of science. For many Native American’s not only was their land taken, the remains of their ancestors were removed and carted off. The remains along with cultural goods became collectibles, which were studied and later displayed in many of our nation’s museums. Native inhabitants were placed on reservations, coming under further control of the Federal government.…

Canagarajah introduces great points that the academy currently faces. The question “How much should moral and spiritual values be discussed in TESOL leads to current issues presented by educators. The tension is between, “two specific groups of TESOL professionals who occupy some of the most divergent discourse and intransigent positions on the place of moral/ spiritual values in the profession-i.e., critical practitioners (CP), who bring a keen sensitivity to the pedagogical negation of power, and Christian English Teachers (CET) who bring a keen sensitivity to spirituality in learning an scholarship” (Canagarajah, S, 2009, p. 2). These issues can be avoided if CP has a positive attitude towards spirituality meaning that religion should not be a “conversation stopper” (Rorty, 1994, p. 1). Instead both CP and CET should focis on the same “educational space” (Edge, 2011, p. 6).…
Well one of friend he is occupational therapist if you want talk to him I can give you his phone no. he currently working in Methodist Hospital in Houston. Watching TED Talk, Atul Gawande, discusses some significant issues concerning modern health care its cost, its effectiveness, and what can be done to improve it. I felt that many people had ideas of the “what” when it comes to improving systems to provide global health equity, but there was little talk of the “how? Gawande says every individual involved has a role in the structure of the health care system today, so rather than blaming one group, it would be more effective to aim for general improvement.…

Many contributing factors such as the conditions and human error and how the impacts made the storm so powerful. Many people were left homeless, injured or in the worst cases, dead. All of this was a recipe for disaster.…
However, I feel that Tanizaki has more to offer his readers than to give us a tale of erotic sadomasochistic pleasure. I believe that the author wants his readers to understand Seikichi’s stream of consciousness and piece together the inner workings of an artist’s mind. By doing this, Tanizaki reveals to his readers how art affects an artist and how the love of art can lead to a man’s destruction. Peering into Japanese culture with Tanizaki’s tale, I am reminded of what Bleich pointed out in his essay, as an American reader we need to have some sort of “perception” to what we are reading. In Tanizaki’s tale, we now have an understanding of the character, Seikichi, and what he may symbolize.…
In “The Seventh Man,” author Haruki Murakami depicts flashbacks into the seventh man’s childhood though a short story. Though hesitant, the seventh man eventually shared his life-story with other adults. He begins by sharing about the day that his best friend, K. was killed in a tsunami, and the lasting impacts it had on his everyday life. He also goes in-depth in explaining how he overcame his fear of death, and how the only way to overcome fears is to face them. This story should be read by people of all ages as Murakami’s use of frame story structure captures the attention of his audience and depicts the events of the seventh man’s life in full effect.…

The Tripitaka, or the pali canon, is one of the earliest collections of Buddhist teachings and is the only text that is recognized as canonical by Theravada Buddhists. Tripitaka literally means “three baskets”, because of the way in which they were originally recorded. The Tripitaka was traditionally passed down by word of mouth, and later was transcribed during the third century B.C.E. Following the death of the Buddha, the contents of the Tripitaka were officially determined and recognized by the First Buddhist Council. The Tripitaka were organized into three separate pitakas.…
