several months that had passed since my last visit. I smelled the toasted, sugary nuts from street vendors, I heard the cab horns honking, I watched people cross streets all together in a mob, as soon as the red hand changed to a walking person. I listened to people saying hello, and people saying goodbye to each other outside of the bus station. I watched a cab pass with an ad for the Chicago Broadway show on top of it. I knew that I was finally back in my favorite town. Immediately after getting

In my school there are many teachers. Each one teaches us different subjects. Although all of them are fairly good, there is one teacher whom I love and admire the most. Her name is Mrs. Grace Gilo. There are some teachers, who hardly ever make an impact on, or touch someone’s life for the better. Some just go through life teaching. But there are some that change a person’s life, for the better. She was the kind of person that everyone loved. She never asked too much, or expected too much. She is
Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents.

As an identical twin my mother has always pulled a few strings to have my sister and

Music as art. My favorite music style. Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence that are organized in time in a special way. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. In the historical context the development of music is inseparable from the active development of person’s sensory abilities. Course of the auditory development of the

lead an inquisitive mind to philosopher Peter Singer – which is where our discussion begins. Singer is a moral philosopher originally from Australia, although he more recently has been teaching in the United States.

“The Jazz Singer” Before watching “The Jazz Singer”, I had no idea of its cultural or historical significance. I learned that it was the first motion picture to have synchronized dialogue and words. It set the precedent for cinematography, live voice recordings, and real-time dialogue. The film was based on a short story written only a few years prior. The story was called “The Day of Atonement” and was authored by Samson Raphaelson. The short story was then adapted into an onstage musical in

Through my childhood I was introduced to television, cell phones, and the computer, but there was something that caught my attention the most, which were video games.

worth more than another (Lillehammer, 2011, p. 90). As we read in “Famine, Affluence and Morality,” Singer asserts that suffering from lack of food, shelter and medical care are bad. If we accept this assumption, and if we can, by our actions, prevent this bad from occurring, we are morally obligated to do so unless in so doing we sacrifice something that is of “comparable moral importance” (Singer, 1972, p. 500). Not all consequentialists agree with giving to Singer’s suggested “level of marginal

If I had to choose my favorite season it would be a very difficult choice. All four seasons are unique in their own special way, such as the climate, scenery, and activities. Although I enjoy the warmer months of summer, I also enjoy the cooler months of winter. In a sense, I have narrowed my favorite seasons down to two; summer and winter. The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside
Proposition: Peter Singer suggests based on the article that it may be morally right to pirate under certain circumstances. Evidence: One such circumstance is that people can no longer purchase out certain print works, as presented within the article "One marvel of the Internet is that some of my older works, long out of print, are now far more widely available than they ever were before – in pirated versions". This shows that it could be beneficial to have works online for others to use when

Often regarded as being the father of the modern animal liberation movement, Singer contends that the campaign for animal liberation today
The Saxophone is my favorite instrument. Despite being made entirely of brass, the saxophone is considered a woodwind because it utilizes a reed to create its sound.
