Universal Time

1.5 Literacy Program There is an increased attention for immigrants and English-language learners (ELL) in the United States. The generation 1.5 are overlooked and misidentified in the high school level. This generation is of students who are familiar with the U.S culture because they were raised here and many were born in the United States. Even though, they appear to be native in speaking English, they are less skilled in academics, literacy, and especially in writing in their first language.…

early age which subsequently utilises an inbuilt cohesive grammaticism. Chomsky (amongst others) argues that this grammatical ability is an instinct and is passed through generation to generation using a genetic blueprint that humans have honed over time. The general idea of…

I have been born 3 times. The first time was 13.8 billion years ago, when the universe began to exist. The second time was on November 24, 1997, when my mother brought her second child into the world. The third time I was born, and the time most relevant to this discussion, was on a sweaty afternoon in Sophomore year when a girl asked me for bus money, and I decided it was time I learned to accept the first two. So here I am, made up of atoms that are 13.8 billion years old, a body almost 19…

It is horrifying to see people dumbstrucked watching television for hours and repeat the same absurd routine every day. The poet expresses his uneasiness with the situation in the poem. The Qur’an mentions about time management in Surah Al-‘Asr verses 1-3, “By time. Indeed mankind is in loss. Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.” In these verses, it is stated that mankind is in loss unless for those…

The amount of people consistently on the Net is at an all time high. More and more information is being shared and more and more people are able to communicate from any distance to one another. In 2006, the National Center for Educational Statistics published an article by R.W. Bybee named Internet Access in U…

Self-Awareness Time exists as a spiral through which people cycle through in their lifetime. Naturally, as people age, they experience repeating events in a larger, albeit inevitable discovery of their true identity. In Black Swan Green, David Mitchell uses Jason Taylor as a tool to reveal to readers that everyone must endure a cyclical pattern of external and internal revelations to ultimately find, accept, and embrace one true identity. Early on, Mitchell establishes the cyclical nature of…

particularly busy week, one of my friends barged into my barracks room, plopped on my bed while mumbling expletives and said “Eslava, I am so tired of this. I am so unhappy”. Notably, this instance was reoccurring as I’ve heard this spiel multiple times from this person. Because we had worked together for a number of years, I also had knowledge from our prior conversations that he had the propensity of viewing everything negatively or finding the fault in an otherwise good situation. The…

Time is very subjective in terms of how we experience it. To a bored student time can seem endless and the clock ticks away, second by second each taking a lifetime, as we grow older time passes by more and more quickly to the point that find that fond memories that feel as if they were yesterday were days, months , even years ago. Not only is the perception of time divergent for different people, it also evolves as we do, as our lives and situations change so does our view of time. It is based…

ought to be regarded as a modern one given that it keeps on changing based on the social needs. The origins of body language are, therefore, not definite as it has been evolving over time. On the other hand, it holds unique traits as some of the reactions and gestures relayed are inborn. Additionally, they may be universal across the globe (Phipps, 2011). Conversely, the body language may be learned through observation, and this is the reason people are required to be attentive. It can also be…

filter the informational input received even from the time of birth from the health care establishment. Our genetic makeup, while profound and revealing, may be so dramatically life altering that some may choose to live without knowing it at all. At this stage, WGS interpretation is still being explored and represents an area of science that the public may be wary about. This leads to the idea of WGS for newborns. Should states adopt universal WGS in addition to standard…
