Ben Carson

AHi i am AJ Baldaccini. I am a 7th grade student in lake Zurich IL. I am writing to you because we have been discussing the 100 People Who Changed The World. Me and my class have been talking about some of the people who changed the world. I believe that choosing people for the 100 People Who Changed The World is very hard. One of my favorites from the book is Abraham Lincoln. Before i read the book i barely had any knowledge of Abraham Lincoln. Some of His accomplishments where that he ended…

Ben Carson, a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in the 2016 election, has introduced a policy he calls the “Balanced Budget Amendment”. This amendment would put in place a flat tax in which all Americans would pay 10 percent of their income, with no exceptions I 'm place. In addition to the flat tax, this amendment would require Congress to create a thorough federal budget, where they are only able to spend what they collect in taxes. In other words, the revenue brought in…

from the book Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence, shows Ben Carson’s generosity and compassion towards other people. In many of his books, he uses life experiences as examples to teach others, inspiring them to spread joy and love wherever they travel. Carson’s approach on life is unparallel to any other.

and rely on preconceptions to highlight those differences. Gifted Hands, an autobiography by Ben Carson, provides an example of how one man’s race determined how people would view him and would attempt to invalidate his credentials as a brilliant neurosurgeon. By looking at Ben Carson’s experiences with others, one can see how society tends to make assumptions based on race. In Gifted Hands,…

The main point of my editorial/opinion article is racism based on Dr. Ben Carson’s respond to the confederate flag. Carson was asked about the confederate flag, after a NASCAR appearance and his response was reasonable. He stated that NASCAR fans should continue to fly the flags as long as it’s in private property. As our amendments state we have the right to express our beliefs. I disagree with the confederate flag, it symbols a hard time here in American, such as slavery and white supremacy.…

Doctors such as Ben Carson and Rand Paul, Military Veterans such as Lindsey Graham, a minister such as Mike Huckabee, and a lawyer such as George Pataki make up a majority of the Republican Party and none of them are traditional politicians. The 2016 election could be the possible demise of the traditional politician, and also the potential upstart of the non-traditional politician. With the…

Think Big is Dr. Ben Carson’s philosophy of life and his personal blueprint for success. He uses it in any and every circumstance he can, even if it does not seem like it. The letters stand for talent, honesty, insight, nice, knowledge, books, in-depth learning, and God. For myself, however, the uttermost important ideas are honesty, knowledge, and God. These are, in my opinion, the most reliable concepts that will push one farther in life. Honesty is a trait that all people should posses,…

William Jennings Bryan once said, “Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will soon be the majority.” So often being Americans, we catch ourselves pulling for the underdog or cheering with the minority in hopes to see the majority fall in embarrassment. Historically speaking an independent woman was frowned upon and in some cases, they still are and a black African American was not even considered to be politically capable of…

: The movie begins in 1987, where Dr. Ben Carson goes to Germany to visit a couple, who have twins conjoined at the head. Ben knows that chances of saving them both will be a risk, because one baby always dies in situations like that. Ben agrees to do the operation, but he will wait for a time so he can come up with a plan to save them both. While looking into some of his books, the movie flashes back to the year 1961, when Ben is 11 years old and he is in the elementary school as…

In 1987 Ben Carson traveled to Germany to meet a couple, whose infant twins were conjoined at the head. Ben Carson tells the couple that he can separate the twins, but there’s a risk of losing one or both of the twins. Craniopagus twins are twins that are fused at the cranium. This condition affects 10-20 for every million of babies born. The union in craniopagus twins may occur on any portion of the calvarium, but does not include either the face or the foramen magnum. The thorax and abdomen…
