Bowling for Columbine Essay

“We were most surprised about the increased numbers of murders in kids’ films,” Dr James Kirkbride, a Sir Henry Dale Fellow, tells Yahoo Parenting in an email. “The killing off of Simba’s dad Mufasa in the ‘Lion King’ is a brutal cinema moment. And there are many other examples in kids’ films — Bambi’s mother getting shot, Nemo’s mother getting eaten by a barracuda, and Syndrome being tossed into a jet engine at the end of ‘The Incredibles.’ This final example might raise dubious moral…

Aliens knew our writing formed our civilization, so they invaded to our dimensional space and wiped out all the writing system on the…

Chapter 13 was a great review of the healthcare system and overall best practices. I see my primary care physician yearly for physicals. One nice perk of the physical is the discount my health insurance provider, Cigna, gives me for completing it. The company I work for, Wyndham, already offers great, affordable health insurance, but with the discount for not using tobacco and getting a physical, my bi-weekly cost is only 20 dollars! I only wish massages were covered! Chapter 14 made me…

Everyone's Clown Nightmares Are Coming to Life I came across an eerie video recently. The video was taken by a boy who was walking down a bike path with his friend. As the two friends approached a bridge, they spotted a figure at the other end of the bridge. When they got closer, they realized that the figure was a person dressed as a clown. What happened next sent chills down my spine. The clown started running towards the boys. They both turned to sprint the other way. The video ended there.…

In High School we were sadly not taught about the May 4th shooting and as a High School history teacher that is something that I want to teach my students because it is such a big thing.

SEA: Weapons within the school With the recent and well-known school shootings that have shocked our nation, we have witnessed a perceived increase in school violence. This increase can partially be attributed to the rise in violence in the community in general.
