The world turned dark and my heavy eyes fell shut as my body drifted into a deep trance. From a distance, I saw myself climbing up a ladder which led to the redwood loft bed in my house in the hills. I watched as the younger me almost hit my head on the low hanging wooden ceiling beams and the next thing I knew I was crawling straight over pillows while dragging my box of zebra puzzle pieces. Making my way to the tiny window that looked out towards an empty field, a sea of trees began to arise.…

History and Language: A Holistic View Humanity is such a simple word, yet is by simple nature excruciatingly complex. The variables and mechanisms that fuse themselves together are so broad and encompassing that it is not so surprising that looking at the whole is nigh on impossible for one person to achieve. Just as a single person is a blend of ideas, ideals, and circumstances, so too is the overall essence of what makes a human, human. Anthropologists have dedicated their lives to the attempt…

Thus, his job is the “cataract” that disables him from truly living, and keeps him from establishing relationships with those around him and wholly expressing his creativity.

As a result, Gabriel possesses a close-minded and defensive attitude, which affects his ability to…

My friends wished me a happy birthday, but it felt empty. I felt as if something special were supposed to happen today, but the day was plain overall. "There's still half of the day left," I told myself. The crowd of students that walked through the corridor came to a stop when the people couldn't go on…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
