Loung Ung, the author of Lucky Child, was a survivor of the Cambodian Genocide that happened during the period between 1975 and 1979, when more than two million Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge, which counted as nearly 25% of the country’s total population (p. xi). Every aspect of life was monitored and controlled by the Khmer Rouge, who was aiming to clear all their political threats and to create a utopian state (p. xii). Most of the citizens, including Loung and her family members, were forced to leave the city and to work in labor camps. They had to endure starvation, diseases, separation from family, and the fear of being killed. Loung was placed in a child-soldier’s training camp, where children were taught to grow hate inside…
Juror’s Statement Adnan Syed has been put on trial for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Not only has he been charged with life in a high security prison, but also has maintained his innocence for his whole trial and sentencing. Even though Jay’s testimony had been changed slightly over time, the story itself is consistent. Adnan killed Hae by strangulation and Jay helped Adnan bury her body in Leakin Park. Even though I state that Adnan is not innocent, he should not have been convicted with the evidence presented at trial.…
Translating to "bear's den," Mukwonago, or mequanego, is one of many small, rural southeastern Wisconsin towns.

Thanks to popular establishments like Antiqua Real, Caffeinated Cafe and Chen's Kitchen, Mukwonago offers people more convenient choices that are affordable and close to their homes.…

What interests me is that Donn Eisele had been a pilot for virtually his entire career. Donn Eisele's job on the Apollo 7 mission was piloting the spacecraft. In my opinion, I have always found it to be interesting and scary as a pilot, because it seems pretty cool to be manning vehicles that fly in the air, but you can also crash and blow up if things go wrong. While I do not want to be a pilot due to all the pressure of having to do everything right to avoid crashing, I respect the profession. What piques my interest even more is that Donn Eisele wasn't just any pilot.…
INTRODUCTION Cambodia, which has fewer people but larger land used to be peaceful and nonaligned. But the genocide occurred by surprise, “The dead are crying out for justice. Their voices must be heard. It is the responsibility of the survivors to speak out for those who are unable to speak, in order that the genocide and holocaust will never happen again in this world” (Pran 10). The terror shrouded the country and silently influences people’s life.…
During the mission on Rahkat horrible things happened to Jesuit Emilio Sandoz. Things happened that one couldn't imagine happening to themselves. On the Mission everything was fine until Emilio was sold to Hlavin Kitheri a poet who did a foul repulsive action to Emilio, he raped him. In Naples: June 2060 sitting with Emilio so they can get the truth about the mission to Rahkat jesuits started to believe that Emilio started to turn to prostitution saying things like “ He loved God but found rough sex gratifying” (239). This situation of Emilio being violated by aliens is ethical because what the jesuits thought happened didn't really happen the way they thought it happened.…
The murder of Hae Min Lee has always been a very mysterious case that leads to millions of dead ends. There is few evidence of anyone doing it, but Adnan Syed was ultimately convicted for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Adnan Syed was the ex-boyfriend of Hae and some say he wanted revenge by killing her with his bare hands, but Adnan can’t defend himself because he has no recollection of that day. They are all wrong, because Adnan Syed is innocent. First of all, Adnan does not have a good motive for killing Hae.…
During the fight to free Cambodia “The Khmer Rouge regime, known as Democratic Kampuchea (DK), crumbled in the face of 15,000 Cambodian rebel soldiers and 150,000 Vietnamese troops” (Jarvis). I believe that although many people died during this genocide, some were saved and that is better than no survivors. I think that it is very unright for anyone to ever go through what these victims lived and I have realized how lucky I personally am. Myself, as well as many others, take for granted how gifted we are to live without fear of waking up in a concentration camp. We are unaware of what other people in the world are suffering and I assume that they should all be informed about what could possibly happen.…
Hi Kacee! because of what you wrote I believe that you also plan to incorporate a little of each philosophy in your future lessons. I believe that it is a great thing to do because it gives a little excitement to education. Students do not just want to go to school and listen to a teacher talk for a full hour, therefore giving them group projects and having field trips here and there would not make it as boring. I hope that incorporating all the philosophies leads you to the most outstanding future students.…
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for processes within our brain such as our mood, sleep, appetite, and perception.
