The definition of the word “zeitgeist” is defined on Dictionary.com as “the spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time” (Dictionary.com, n.d.). My example of a company who utilized zeitgeist in this manner would be the Anheuser-Busch Corporation and their Budweiser ad that was aired during Superbowl XXXVI, which was only shown one time during the entire broadcast of the football game. On February 3, 2002, this commercial showed the…

I do not feel at any other school. I was able to attend this school the first two years after it was built. A great number of memories have been made here by the kids heading to school. The children are kind and greet you every day. During the summer, a lot of additions were being made to this somewhat new school by Miron Construction.

If you have some important event to go to, you may become late to that event due to all the traffic from all of the tourists. Is having the…

Why Olympic Gymnastics Teams Will Have Four Members in 2020 Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.

They creep the public out or sometimes astonish us or sometimes even mess with our minds as we try to differ truth from lies, right from wrong.
