Such is depicted through The Tempest (1610) by William Shakespeare, where the individuals are confronted with the discovery of the…

typical day in the boy’s life and paints an image of the family’s everyday routine. All the things that he describes are not exciting and show little to know emotion when spoke upon. It is not a bright or happy picture as I can see. The evident disconnection between the parents is shown in how mechanical their actions are and in their lack of communication. The family dynamic is the father working and the mother being a stay at home house wife, who cooks and clean. The father is obviously not…

Jurgenson surmises that so many people are fixated on the obsession of going offline, which is being abstinent from social media, but in reality, it is not true. For example he says, “disconnection from the smartphone and social media isn’t really disconnection at all” (Jurgenson 195). In other words, Jurgenson states that people need to know that not being online doesn’t mean being offline. Furthermore, Jurgenson isn’t quite against technology. He doesn’t think that social…

Two Worlds of an Immigrant When people immigrate, they are often simply trying to live a better life: to rise above poverty, escape oppression or leave a warring land. However moving from one country to a very different one is one of the hardest things one can do: it involves more than leaving something behind, it involves coming into a new county, and a new culture, and being an outsider. Many adults have no trouble sticking to their original culture in the midst of a new job and interacting…

Lelwica describes “cool rituals” are following national trends the media portrays as being healthy or the “norm”. Due to how people want to fit in, we are what we thing about. Due to the media always being in our faces, we are constantly being shaped and directed to believe by what has the most outreach. Our decisions are constantly being influenced by what we see and believe. I believe media is the result of the people since we pay and encourage what we like, and therefore encourages popular…

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World reveals that altering nature through science leads to the loss of humanity and individuality. Huxley expresses this idea through setting, conflict and symbolism. The novel takes place in a totalitarian society where the citizens are born through cloning therefore this society lacks individuality as everyone is the same. The main character Bernard Marx deals with a continuous conflict throughout the whole story; how to fit in with his fellow class of alphas however…

All of us might recognize that we all have fears on something, such as fear to love, to be rejected, to talk to someone, and fear to show and open ourselves. It is not easy to live perfectly when you are dealing with the different perspective of each person in the world. Everyone of us has different personalities and insights toward each other. However, it is also important to open ourselves to someone, so that we can realize which is what we fear utmost. This is some of the ideas that Brene…

Looking for a glimmer of light in the darkness, I found a clue aligned with my own heart. The statement, "One real problem facing America is the aging voting population," "(Keep the Voting Age at 18)," is the piece of evidence in the battle, rewarded with my own agreement. Listing the pro's and con's, leads to and overwhelming number of facts assisting in my evaluation; the victor, "Keep the Voting Age at 18". I find, after reviewing the percentage of people voting, inserted in both articles,…

I had the opportunity to watch the movie, Gattaca, during one of my medical ethics class this semester. We had to determine if future genetic engineering is ethical or not. However, at first it seems ethical with a society genetically perfect, but to be marked as an “invalid” or insufficient enough, from birth restricts a person to a career not requiring an education, such as a cleaner. Creation of a new form of prejudice produces the idea of having greater or second-rate genes. The character…
