The Telescope Effect will sometimes dictate how we feel about politics, or…

Medical marijuana has many good uses, it could possibly cure cancer, or cure epilepsy, it could also decrease the number of painkiller overdoses. But it has much more bad side effects, such as apathy, irritation to the throat and lungs, likelihood of pneumonia, lost productivity, and psychosis. In my opinion, I think that doctors should not prescribe medical marijuana to anyone. There is safe medicine that works better than marijuana, and it has a lack of consistent, repeatable scientific data.…

the tested subjects reported the smoke. When asked why they failed to report the smoke, most subjects stated that they did not feel the smoke was dangerous and therefore failed to report it (Latane, B., and J. Darley. Latane and Darley: Bystander Apathy) In the novel, Victoria Guzman attributed her lack of action to a similar reason. Victoria Guzman, the Nasar’s cook, claimed “I didn’t warn him because I thought it was drunkards’ talk” (Garcia-Marquez 13). Likewise, Don Rogelio de la Flor also…

Within the United States, both income inequality and an alarming trend of anti intellectualism has become the modern norm. According to Winston Churchill, “the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”.

I thought his speech tied in very well to the “laying a foundation for the future” theme.
