The Importance Of Surviving The Past

Improved Essays
A person’s has two options on how to live life; either plan accordingly or plan as the day goes by. There is no right or wrong way with these options, but one helpful skill is being able to manage time wisely. Once reaching adulthood, time management can be a hassle because of the overwhelming responsibilities. The poor choices made of not working towards completing daily tasks at his/her best efforts shouldn 't be a habit. Their should be an early upbringing in middle school students, to make better decisions in the future. Surviving the Past is a virtual game, designed to teach players to learn how to manage time by giving them a list of choices to prioritize, multitask by having a vast majority of deadlines, and plan ahead. In my game, the protagonist will go back to in time to stop the assassination of historic figures given a time limit. The game has a twelve hour clock to save the historic figure,but in real life it 's two hours of playing each level. The game is accessible on a website with hyper-realistic graphics for the player to have a fascinated experience.
Unfortunately, as we grow older there isn 't a class on how to prioritize before entering college or starting a career. In addition, it leads to a stressful lifestyle because

The skills are secretly embedded in my game for the player to feel in control of what happens in the game, but there are surprises along that way, that change the experience for each individual player. The suspense of spying on the enemy, feeling rushed because the time is ticking and the route ends, makes my game fun. Not everyone will like my game, but it does take people on a journey relating to saving popular historic figured like John F. Kennedy, Julius Cesar and Gandhi. If the player doesn’t learn about time management there still is an experience of traveling through

    “Paying for the Party,” conveys the roles and choices made by college students, specifically female students from different classes at Midwest University (MU). The authors Armstrong and Hamilton observe how the decision made by these students may affect their social standings through out and after their college life. Based on a five-year long study the authors interviewed college women who were living in the “party dorm” at MU. They differentiated these women into three different classes, upper middle class, lower middle class, and working class. Then they split each class into four different categories: the first being “primed to party” which were wealthier students whom partying was important, the second were “cultivated for success” which were students who had certain academic goals to achieve and were financially supported by their parents, the third were “motivated for…

    The life of an average person consists of waking up at the crack of dawn, commuting to their job, working for hours on end, attending extracurricular events following work, and repeating the cycle over and over and over. At some point, our lives becomes an endless rollercoaster that never seems to stop, with us along for the ride. Time is irreplaceable and irreversible, and before we know it, we are at the end of our days. Society creates an extremely fast pace for those along for the ‘rollercoaster ride.’ In certain moments of our lives, we try to take the quick fix that will help us get through uncomfortable situations in faster time or think far into our future that we can’t concentrate on the present.…

    When I volunteered over the summer at Baycrest Hospital, a senior residence centre, I was able to realize how programs, consisting of different activities that they provided for the patients, had saved them from living a life full of dreariness and endless fatigue. From what I have seen throughout my volunteering years (which sums up to 3 years by now), killing time was the greatest challenge of the day for most of them. For patients at Baycrest, and undoubtedly in other medical institutions, there is a certain extent to what medical treatment can do for them. They also needed time to be entertained and happy. I would often notice how smiles appeared on the faces of many patients, who were suffering from a variety of illnesses, and understood…

    In “Beside Oneself,” Judith Butler describes how the problem with violence is that it destroys the lives of humans, and it is sometimes not recognized because of pre-determined concepts of who is human. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” Gloria Anzaldua explains how Mexicans are excluded because of how they speak both English and Spanish. The media molds our lives in many ways that we as people don’t even recognize by putting emphasis on the topics they find important while ignoring other topics. Butler says, “Whose lives count…what makes for a grievable life” (114). The media decides whose lives are grievable.…

    In Emerson's essay Self-Reliance, he argues that people trust their own intuitions instead of depending on society to dictate their lives. His argument is impractical because today people change with impacts on their lives, some under the influence of what society is putting into their minds. People follow what they think is “popular” or that they think would be acceptable in general. According to Tastes, Castes and Culture: the Influence of Society on Preferences by Ernst Fehr and Karla Hoff, “changes in behaviour are explained exclusively in terms of changes in the set of feasible alternatives”. There are lots of ways one can change themselves, meaning there are many alternatives to just one way.…

    Time is a gift many take for granted; a gift many use to their advantage and act like it is nothing at all. Yet there are those who use time wisely, taking caution of every second they use. Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” explains how a memory has the capability to stay with one forever no matter the initial impact, and the truth to that memory. “The Things They Carry,” Tim O’Brien’s war story, talks about how time gives one the ability to realize who one is, through all the obstacles one might face. While in “Outliers” Malcom Gladwell stands by the idea that time is a key to success, if one wants anything in life, time is practice to get there.…

    When Simone arrived at the elevator door, she reached out for the entry button. In that same instant, from the corner of her eye, she saw a severely veined gray arm wrap around her left side, gripping her around the torso tightly with excrutiating pressure. She was so stunned by the sudden occurence, her mind failed to comprehend what had happened, until another arm, equally deformed as the first, swept around her left side, moving with incredible speed, grabbing her by the neck. The long crooked fingers dug into her warm, soft flesh with a touch as rough as sandpaper and cold as a frigid winter's night, silencing her cry for help.…

    As young children, we are asked the cliché “What do you want to be when you grow up” question. Due to high expectations, it is always answered with lawyers, doctors, surgeons, chefs etc. In our minds, at that age, we believe that it is quite simple to obtain or become a member of that profession. In order to become what we envision, we must graduate from high school and receive a certified high school diploma. Lately, the United States are dealing with teenagers dropping out of high school only to find themselves in a low-end job, and life.…
