Certain holy and sacred matters exist in the world. Things like the Bible, cute cat videos, Gandhi, and pizza are Earthly treasures that no one dares to tarnish. However, leave it to America to try.

AMERICAN ON YOUTUBE UNLEASHES FREEDOM ON NINTENDO AND MARIO At first glance, this might look like an innocent video honoring a birthday and an old friend. However,…

absolutely no attention to their surroundings. No one stops to value, and truly think about the everyday conversations, the people met while walking down the street, and even books, which continuously are being left unopened. With that being said, they all just get kind of brushed off. Everyone is off being busy with their own life, leaving no time left to appreciate the little gifts that they are blessed with in the first place. “Alphabet” by Heather Crickenberger persuades the reader to stop…

It all started just two years ago. My best friend was signed up for cross country and she somehow managed to talk me into it. I walked in on the first day unprepared for what would come next. That hundred degree with a high UV index is burned into my mind. I managed to run a pathetic .75 miles, especially with everyone else running up to five miles. Although it horrible and still holds the same description as horrible up to this day, going out for cross country resulted in many lessons. The…

same.His mother had always smelled like cinnamon, she liked to bake. Her Irish accent as crisp as he remembered, how he’d miss that sound. “I’ve missed you so much.” He whispered. “I know, Steven. I missed you too. But you went on to do such great things, like I always knew you would. Your father is so proud of you.” Her green eyes looked just the same as they did the day she died. He was young back then, still sickly. “Where is he?” He asked. “Do you know how I knew your father was the…

glorious belongings in the palace," she told me one night after she got home late at night. I sat on the arm of her chair as she told me of what she had seen that day. "They have these egg shaped contraptions, that are the most beautiful things you ever saw. All over them are jewels and hand painted pictures, some are even hollow and lined with the most exotic of fabrics. I saw one that had a little hen inside, that one was my favorite. One of the men…

accepted him to stay but said that as soon as he was 16,he needed to leave the community because he is causing fear and trouble. At the age of 5,Tom was really good at cutting down trees. One day,one of his neighbor’s house was covered with trees and it would take days for someone to cut those trees down. So,Tom came over and told them that he was good at cutting trees down,that he could help,but his neighbors didn't believe him because he was only 5 years old. At night when the whole community…

It is my opinion that the public goods listed above should continue to be provided by the government. If they were to be controlled by private companies, less people would get to use/enjoy them while things such as roads, libraries, parks, and open space would cost more due to greed as well as needing to generate profit. Also, it is not very realistic to think that one individual/business (or a few large companies) could support the costs of maintaining things such as roads and parks. 2. Why…

strives to make a profit ethically with a greater good in mind. Southwest, rightfully so, is held up as the shining example of a company who does conscious capitalism right. And they stressed it was because of our philosophy of: Employees first, Customers second, Shareholders third. Now, the question I have: is this still the leadership teams guiding philosophy?
