Since Rene Descartes first penned the phrase “cogito ergo sum”, Western thought has been obsessed with the notion of the self and its significance. At the core of one’s self is his identity -- his absolute consistency with himself, which “derives its distinction from what it is not” (Bennet, Grossburg, and Morris 173). An inherent faith in the validity of this identity is vital, lest we become vulnerable to descending into an abyss of self-doubt and total nihilism. Yet with the introduction of…

days and then rushed home. To emphasize My biggest fear is clowns -- I hate scary clowns because they are freaky and give me chills.There was this one time I was about 5 years old at a party. A clown was there and made a balloon shaped like a dog and gave it to me. The balloon…

had feared that it might’ve been remains from Russian spy craft which was why they were hesitant to share the news with the public. (Roswell and the Mysterious Project Mogul) Although it sounds logical that the debris found were just remains of a balloon used for espionage, it does not make sense that the military would nervously participate in practices such as making dummies and throw them off planes. Sources stated that the dummies were very similar to extraterrestrial beings and that they…

A Life Well Spent David Newman had countless ventures over his life time, moulding him into the man he is today. He has always cared about the people around him before himself. Born in Dunedin, New Zealand on the 29th of March 1937, he was a very curious young boy, always saying to his mother Violet “I want to travel the world and see all it has to offer”. His father was sent to fight in World War 2 and David didn’t know him until the age of seven. After his father returned, the family…

Currently in the world the government always gets involved with society’s business, even when we do not know about it. The Government often censors certain information to keep the people away from the truth, whether it is for their own good or not. Government censorship is also a big part shown in Fahrenheit 451. In Fahrenheit 451, the government wants to control the way people think and act. In order to do that, the government must burn all types of knowledge, like literature. The reason for…

Examining Individuality in Literature and Films Alex Grey once said: “In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.” Over the years, this has progressively become clearer as the pressure to conform to society continues to create trouble and anxiety to any who attempt to be true to themselves and to those who are forced to hide behind a front. The Taming of the Shrew and Singin’ in the Rain both examine how the roles that society places us in makes it…

Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most prominent architects in the twentieth century, was very influential in the field of stained glass windows. He designed over 160 buildings containing many stained glass windows, of which almost 100 were built, which amounts to around 4,000 windows in total. Many of Wright’s houses had many windows, including the Dana and Martin houses with around 200, and the Little house with around 300. Wright also developed new styles of stained glass windows, including…

I have previously worked at the John Grant School for children with complex needs. Here I worked either on a 1:1 basis or in a classroom. An example of this is I worked on a 1:1 basis with a pupil with Cerebral Palsy who was unable to join in active group activities due to his physical restrictions. I would tailor the activity to enable him to join in whilst taking into account any needs or requirements so he wasn’t left out. I am very aware of Health and Safety, an example of this is that I…

Father Joe's first thought were to give each crew member a proper christian burial, and worked indefatigably at this task... But afterwards, not knowing who these new humans might be, that is, if they're still human, he removes the little crosses that marked each grave, and only left an odd arrangement of stones to demarcate the place for his own recognition if he may come to wander from this place. But all around him seemed everything he would need for shelter and sustenance... He would travel…
