It is believed that nobody knowingly chooses evil. A great example is the great tragedy oedipus rex. It is fated that Oedipus will kill his father and mary his mother, so his father gets rid of his son (banishing). One day he ends up in a battle and kills his father unknowingly, (his father is a stranger) and later marries his mother. In those moments he did not choose to do evil, he believed he was doing the right thing but was ignorant to the world. Sartre states that existence comes first,…

High School is a period in adolescence where identities are found within the self by figuring out where they belong in this world. That can be hard especially for teens like Cady Heron in the 2004 movie Mean Girls directed by Mark Waters based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabes which encompasses females in high school cliques and how damaging it can be for development to girls. Cady Heron is a 16 year old who has just moved back to the states after living in Africa for her parents zoology…

Plato once said, “Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world into another.” Obviously, astronomy has always been an interest to mankind. We look up into the night sky and feel an urge, something pulling us towards the stars. Many people have been influential in discoveries involving the stars and the planets beyond. From Galileo Galilei to Stephen Hawking, we have learned and discovered amazing things about the universe, and in recent discoveries we have wondered if…

In regards to believing if the Patriot Act should have "such a wide lattitude" - permitting the ability to conduct warrantless searches, electronic surveillances; and the ability to collect information from emails and internet trafficing, my personal answer is yes. For example, in terms of National Security, I believe the government should have the "means to monitor and identify individuals" that are linked to "terrorism". In fact, as a United States Veteran of the United States Marine Corps;…

Ever since I played T-ball, I have always been the skinniest kid on all my sports teams. Being unusually underweight really upset me. I tried everything from eating protein-packed foods to daily weightlifting, but nothing seemed to work. Even some of my friends called me the “Twig.” As a freshman entering high school, I was a three-sport athlete and had aspired to play at the varsity level. I had long visualized being under the Friday night lights in front of a packed stadium with my classmates…

to school to increase her availability to work. Her toughest class is college Algebra, and she is constantly asking for my help. The summer of 2014 and during my Junior year of high school, I was tutoring my aunt in her math classes. I was taking Calculus A at the time, so the algebra came fairly easy to me. I would explain the information and formulas to my aunt numerous times, but she never understood. It was usually on the fourth explanation that I would become impatient. The first time I…

I had to leave my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. I had to explore a new culture and language. But that was not the only challenge I faced in my childhood. When I was a baby I had a surgery because my femur was not in its socket. Then when I entered middle school I had my second surgery. I had wore out the cartilage and my…

The End of Education - Neil Postman "When am I ever going to use this?" Every student reaches a point in school where they ask that. Right about the time calculus and Shakespeare are introduced schoolchildren stop paying attention and start asking the much bigger questions. How would you answer the question? Everyone has their own answer; that's the problem. Postman writes that modern education is flawed because we don't all have a common answer, or narrative. During the Space Race in America…
