Walljasper Analysis

Decent Essays
According to Walljasper, the major factors are globalized economy, new technology, human desire, prescheduled activities, and political, that are contributing to people’s increasingly hectic lifestyles.
2. I agree with Walljasper, he mentioned new technology more often enslaves people. In the past, people payed more attention to do one thing, so they didn’t need a clear schedule. For example, when people wanted to excises, they merely ran around the street. They did that are more simple and direct. Today, if some people go to excises, they will consider where did they go? such as which gyms, parks, or streets, and how did they go? by car? by bus?or walk? Thus, they had many choices that waste a lot of time. In addition, new technology created

    In the information age, misuse of computers hurts the intelligence of the general population by reducing their attention spans. Many people in first-world countries cannot resist peeking at their smartphones during important tasks, but like any new technology, these problems eventually fade away. For example, new weapons introduced in World War I led to trench warfare, but later, war experts found new strategies that prevent these stalemates. Although Nicholas Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” argues that Google reduces the attention span of the general population, Google does not deserve the blame. New technologies have distracted people who lack discipline for centuries.…

    The ban on slavery worldwide caused an increase in need for new labor, and with it the revival of indentured servitude in the early nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Indentured servitude had brutal living conditions that were easily comparable to slavery, caused a massive shift of indentured servant population to new areas, and the impact on the abolition of slavery, were all a cause and consequence for the revival of indentured servitude. The treatment of indentured servitude was not a huge improvement from slavery. Indentured servants saw themselves as “overworked”, and that the “wages paid to them is not sufficient” Doc #8).…

    The Second Great Awakening of the United States issued thoughts in the minds of people about the afterlife and receiving salvation from God. It was commonplace to see this religious revival bring in better morals and treatment of people. Slavery was a moral and racial problem happening in parts of the states at the time. Rich, white, and often property-owning males often owned slaves that had to partake in extreme amounts of labor for the profit of their owner. The Second Great Awakening made people realize that whether regardless of skin tone, a human is a human.…

    Canongate Wall Analysis

    Analyzing the way each individual letter was carved into the stones on Canongate Wall, all coming together to form such beautiful lines of poetry, song, and literature, so permanent, so idealized, so intwined into Scotland’s identity, I couldn’t help but notice the parallel between my own body and the building laid out before me. On the left side of my body is a tattoo, a quote taken from the Harry Potter books, “It does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.” Earlier in the day, before visiting the parliament building, we ate lunch at the Elephant House, the coffee shop where the author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, may have written the very words carved into my body. So, while gazing at the lines of literature tattooed into what could very well be considered the physical body of Scottish government, I felt a deep sense of understanding as to…

    Author and blogger, Tim Urban in his 2016 TED talk, “Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator”, argues that everyone is a procrastinator. Urban’s purpose is to explain in order to prove his final point that everyone is a procrastinator to some degree. Urban explains to the general public everyone is a procrastinator. He is surely right about this; that everyone, to some degree, procrastinates because, as he may not be aware, recent studies have shown that 20% of the United States population are chronic procrastinators. With procrastination also comes many bad effects such as controlling of emotions such as feelings of guilt and stress.…

    Throughout literature and film we come across many different types of dystopias. Some that we have all seen or read that you would not even notice the dystopian qualities it consists of. The few I have found are Fahrenheit 451 and The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, 1984 by George Orwell, and WALL-E made by Disney. All of these sources do infact connect in one way, they are dystopias, I link 1984 and WALL-E together, many believe that WALL-E is not a dystopian film but many things point to it representing one. While that fat people in WALL-E do not live a life considered miserable, there does seem to be a common trend among the people abroad Axiam, boredom.…
