    An individual that's gritty doesn't let any obstacles or difficulties hold them back from accomplishing a desired goal. When a person has a growth mindset they are very grit because they maintain a long term persistence of effort . On the other hand , people with a growth mindset aren't similar to ones with a fixed mindset. Having a fixed mindset means that when an individual is faced with a problem or difficulty , instead of working at that the issue they would rather give up and never overcome the challenges. The article "Angela Duckworth and the Research on Grit" by Emily Handford, she described being gritty as "tendency not to abandon tasks in the face of obstacles" ( pg. 51).…

Even those living in the far away depths of America, and those who can’t even afford free school lunch.

    According to Laurence Shames, “Americans have always been optimists, and optimists have always liked to speculate” (90). Shames starts to talk about how Texans would purchase some land, put a main street on it, building some structures and call it a town all hoping for the railroad to come through their town. Every single person who tried to do this we're optimists. In the article “The More Factor” they did this for two reasons: to make money and for America to keep booming like it was. I think that this was the one way that America was really going to take off and turn into the power house country they could be.…

    In the book The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison, author Jeffery Reiman states that the prison system in the United States is designed to fail in. It fails in the sense that the rapid expansion of the prison system fails to reduce crime, and instead is meant to create an image of a criminal class to keep the middle class in check. Reiman describes this failure as the ‘Pyrrhic defeat theory,’ as whereas a Pyrrhic victory is a victory where the losses make the victory pointless, a Pyrrhic defeat is instead a defeat where the gains even out the victory. And these gains go straight into the pocket of those controlling the institutions controlling the prison system. Reiman first introduces the Pyrrhic defeat theory by showing that several…

    Ted Talk Brave New World Jean Jacques Rousseau once said that every man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains. He pointed out that the line between freedom and slavery is a fine one, and how easy it sometimes blends into one. Are we really free, or have we been so conditioned into believing that we are that we have lost the meaning of freedom? Maybe we have inevitably enslaved ourselves, perhaps by the technology we use, or the lives we lead or even by the people around us. For instance, we all have the same goals in life do we not?…

    “There’s More to Life Than Being Happy” is a journal article that was written by Emily Esfahani Smith. It was published on January 9, 2013.

For example, a big topic that she focused on while writing this article, was that being happy dealt with “taking”, while living a meaningful life, dealt with “giving” (Smith 2013).…
