Contact lenses

My eyes snapped open and my heart was beating like I had woken up from a nightmare. Immediately, I could tell something wasn't right, not at all. I rushed to the mirror on morning sea legs, clutching the mirror's edge so tightly, I was sure it would break. I stared blankly at my blurry reflection. My shirt, it... was green. I persisted to the window and yanked open the curtain. For as far as I could see (which wasn't very far), the view from my bedroom window was... green Suddenly, I was…

The side effects of the oral pill include: intermenstrual spotting, nausea, breast tenderness, headaches and migraine, weight gain, mood changes, missed periods, decreased libido, vaginal discharge, and changes to eyesight for those using contact lenses. The side effects scare many mothers from allowing their children to be protected.

Primo Levi has a view that humans have a complex relationship with the earth. In his writing he portrays the awareness of humans place on earth. In order to be a scientist, one has to cultivate between predictability (mechanistic philosophy) and the earth being alive (Gaia-hypothesis). Without predictability, one would not have any knowledge on anything; if the world was pure randomness, there would be no meaning to anything and nothing would matter. The Gaia-hypothesis enables us, humans, to…

Contrary to popular belief, racism did not die with slavery and sexism did not just dissipate when women gained the right to vote in America. It may not be as blatant, but these concepts continue to exist and thrive in our society. Rather than a physical and visible effect on the oppressed, they have more of a subtle, internalized nature. The media is one of the most popular ways in which these ideas fester and instill themselves into the minds of many. They portray a caricature-like depiction…

Celebrities share their every move through social media applications like YouTube, Snap, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Vine.

When I was reading and trying to imagine “Nacirema’s Body Ritual” for the first time I couldn’t relate with any aspect of the culture. I found the Nacirema’s cultural practices as estrange behaviors. This culture was very distant, unusual and different from mine. Magical and exotic traditions and rituals were unnecessary for me and I could not understand why these people were so devoted to them. “Several shrines”, “charm-box” and “holy-mouth-men” were new words for me that represented very…

The tragedy of the 9/11 attack had a lasting impact on the dynamic of families and individuals across the nation. As the unbelievable occurred, people struggled to find ways to overcome the situations they had been faced with. In his novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer emphasizes this through elements in his writing such as characterization, graphic images, a detailed setting, and the use of multiple narrative strands. These effectively create the story of nine year…

and the issue can be examined. I think the most important thing I have learned about calling people in, is it causes the person who is being called in to reflect. Through reflection, the individual can reexamine their own ideology with a different lense. I think this is more helpful than calling someone out because it makes the individual realize their own errors. If someone is telling you that your ideas are wrong, a natural instinct is to become defensive. This often causes people to shut down…
