Behemoth

inside myself…….But then I had to ask myself: What else could there be?” and one, as a reader, feels the same queries she has. That way she is able to connect to the readers intimately. In addition, metaphors add imagination to the text as she uses “behemoths” to suggest the large size of the early computers, and “a sloppy programmer” to imply the lack of information handling abilities in human body during evolution. Majority of the reflection occurs in the conclusion. If you were strictly…

It was surprisingly difficult finding information on the Memorial Super-Neighborhood. A “city-within-a-city” located along I-10 and beltway 8, Memorial can boast premier office space, upscale homes, and luxury hotels. The median household income is $208,000. It has a booming economy, excellent schools, great shopping, and is home to the Texas Medical Center (Air Liquide USA LLC; Air Liquide to Relocate American Corporate Headquarters to Memorial City in Houston). It’s all in the name, I guess;…

“Yahweh,” replied the voice in the cave when Moses asked what name the God of the Israelites should be known by, “I am who am” (New Revised Standard Version, Exodus 3:14). Man received this answer to his question of God’s identity more than two millennia ago, but has never been satisfied by it. Instead, humanity has never ceased in pursuing greater knowledge of the divine. Resulting in part from the inherent beauty of this unanswerable question, the holy longing to know God has served as the…

Technology use within the classroom and modern education program The American school system faces a conflict with the use of modern technology and the constant evolving of the classroom. An issue has arisen with the balance between the technique and academic process in the United States. The situation at hand denied national enforcement, debates, and state level programs accompanied by private or community solutions. Although people criticize computers as a distraction and a waste in the…

In the year 2010, the United Kingdom was ranked 4th out of 22 European countries by UNICEF for having the largest amount of child poverty. The ranking must lower on the scale to help improve the community we live in. This problem is too big to ignore as it affects a vast amount of people in the UK. Poverty is a trap which is almost impossible to escape. The problem of poverty and the ways in which it is abused by some, how the numbers of unemployed people are affected, the effects taxation has,…

Addressing Global Warming Since the dawn of mankind, the Earth has been an everlasting landscape for the potential of future endeavors. Eventually, humanity found itself dominating over the majority of the planet and its inhabitants, which resulted in some arrogance. While humans were able to send a man to the Moon, they were unable to understand the planetary functions of their own planet until recent decades. In a sort of ironic twist, the dominating predator of the Earth now has to contend…

Stumbling from my comfortable bed, I seized my dainty, lavender alarm clock in a groggy, yet hasty attempt to silence the dreadful clanging it was emitting. In the sudden, blessed silence; now completely awake, butterflies began stir in my stomach and my pulse quickened, my heart in my throat. This was the morning I was to begin my first job. My heart and mind were crowded with feelings of excitement and dread. It was July 15, 1972, two weeks prior to my fourteenth birthday. Dressed in…

The article, “The Case for Paying College Athletes,” by Allen Sanderson and John Siegfried, seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of compensating college athletes. Specifically, Sanderson and Siegfried analyze the history of the NCAA and its governance, the reasons for operating commercialized sports programs, the market for college athletes, the NCAA’s power, the distributional aspects of change, and finally, how changes will arrive (Sanderson & Siegfried, 2015, p. 115-137). The authors begin…

Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican man of an idiosyncratic nature. He was fervent in his role of African-American advocacy, and earned his title as “easily the most controversial figure associated with Harlem in the 1920s” (Gates and Smith 984). This controversial connotation stems not only from his distinctive opinions regarding Pan-Africanism, but also from how he presented his justifications, especially in writing. In his works, Garvey employs several rhetorical strategies which function…
