Shabazz Napier a guard from UConn University, sometimes goes to bed starving due to the fact that he cannot afford to buy food. He is unable to get a job because he spends most of his time on school, and his sport. I believe that college athletes should be paid. College athletes do not have time for a job due to going to school, and focusing on their sport. College athletes go to bed starving because they cannot afford to pay for their food. College athletes do not receive a portion of the money the college makes for having their name on the back of a shirt or anything else. Many people will be able to understand my position when they see why college athletes should be paid for all of their hard work that they put in, and all the time it takes to get there. Even though as soon as they reach there, the NCAA violates them from receiving anything. The NCAA has crazy and bizarre rules. For example one of their rules is that a student athlete cannot accept a taco, or a chocolate bar from their coach, even if the coach paid for it. First of all, college athletes do not have time for a job. Commonly, a division 1 football player in college devotes 43.3 hours per week to his sport. Most jobs do not even have people that work that much, and they get paid! It is also against the rules of the NCAA. The rule states that college athletes are not allowed to pick up a side job that earns over $2000 per year. They do not have freedom to do a lot of things. They do not really get the…

The dictionary defines the word “blind” as the lack of perception, awareness, or discernment. Symbolism, irony, and foreshadowing is used in many ways by the author in her short story called “The Lottery”. Shirley Jackson uses these literary devices to emphasize the idea that people will follow traditions blindly if that was how they were raised. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a short story about a strange tradition. Once a year, the town gathers together and one member from each…

As humans, several things make us irritated. While some things that make certain people annoyed do not have the same effect on others, the basic concepts are the same. One thing that I have noticed all people get enraged about is being around someone who they do not particularly admire. Perhaps the worst of all, is being in the same setting as a stereotypical know it all. Most of the time people do not know how to identify know it alls which leaves them no way to resolve the annoyance the know…

argument in which we intuitively recognize, which is that there is no difference in hurt if you die young or if you die old. McMahan’s argument combat’s this fault by way of comparing the enjoyment in ones actual life (the one in where they are dead) by measuring the quantity and quality of enjoyment in a hypothetical life where they would still be alive. Here we establish the opportunity cost of death by recognizing that the older someone becomes, the less pleasures someone can experience since…

A Cacophony of Puppets by Sarah-Noémie Laurin "A dark planet of awesome size perched in its sunless void, an invisible titan all thick black forests and jagged mountains and deep, turbulent oceans. A monster. Spinning. Soundless. Forgotten. It’s so close now." It was once us. It will be us. I don 't think that will ever leave humankind 's subconscious. Chapter One - Destroying ‘Euphemism’ in Life ~Nicolas~ It is chaos. This word is too small to explain the situation. This is a genocide.…

I find it funny when guys say that they don’t like girls that talk too much; isn 't it like saying I 'd rather a physically attractive chick with low intelligence, that cannot hold a conversation? i-blame-movies-for-my-high-expectations-of-relationships Talking about holding a conversation, sometimes that can get hard for me to do (it depends on the subject of course!) . For some reason everything reminds me of something and some something’s sometimes remind me of everything… at times a word,…

Day one of my captivity I have been captured by the enemy. They came in the evening with their large trucks and their strange, thin radios, which they kept tapping with their fingertips. I wondered at first if they were typing in Morse Code, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t any code I recognized. They asked me if I knew what was going on. Of course I knew. The enemy had come for me and was taking me to a POW camp. It was only a matter of time before they discovered the work I had been doing in my…

Winniscot’s book, Playing and Reality, focuses on the nature of learning through playing and how mentally vulnerable people are when they’re young. In his case studies, he mentioned about a boy who would act in weird manners with strings when his mother wasn’t home. The problem became worse and worse, and they visited him for help. Winnicot suggested that a line of communication would be required between the mother and the child as he could see that the child was too reliant on the mother. After…
