(Huxley 3). This quote’s description of the building and label represents the setting of the book. A place that took place where the director taught the students about Bokanovsky’s process. “….Community, Identity, Stability” (Huxley 3). These three words show the slogan for the society, the society’s motto. Community meaning that they work all together as team and raise the happiness of the society. Identity meaning that even though you have different social castes individuals has to have…
For example, I would rather live in a neighborhood that had lots of places for my child to play and make friends than live in a neighborhood that had nothing to offer for my child. In addition, having these areas could open up opportunities for community service. Neighborhood leaders could host groups to help clean up the parks and playgrounds. Investing in pools, parks and playgrounds open opportunities for neighborhood sports teams. For instance, adding a pool to the neighborhood could then…
Sometimes living at a certain community doesn’t make you a part of it. Part of the reason can be that one can be so isolated from it, it feels like one lives somewhere else. For example, I live in Riverdale, a quiet community in the Bronx. Not that I don't like the community, I feel like I live in a safe area, but nothing even remotely interesting seems to occur in the Dale. When I leave my apartment to catch the bus that takes me to college, I walk by a couple of newspaper racks and never even…
Introduction Many people often think that there is only one real world that has many forms of culture, which is the one that we live in everyday. Tom Boellstorff, the author of Coming to Age in Second Life, is not one of those people. In this ethnography, Boellstorff challenges that there is more than one real world and that virtual worlds have culture just as places in the real world do. The topic of virtual worlds or virtual reality is becoming more and more prominent in this age of…
Community is important to me. I grew up in a small town where you knew your neighbors, and chances were that you lived down the street from at least one of your teachers. Where every summer Saturday, the entire block would meet in somebody’s backyard- a fire would be lit, and all of us kids would roast marshmallows and hotdogs, and play on the wooden swing-set, playing out stories and adventures. My community wasn’t just a place where I lived and went to school- it was a family. I want to join…
The Anime discourse community is made up of people who are fans of Japanese animated productions and Manga who are sometimes referred to as “otaku”. Not all members would identify with that term because of its derogatory connotations in Japan. People involved in the community come from a wide demographic, from many walks of life, and a wide range of ages. The discourse community allows them to come together to share their love of Japanese animation and Manga. A love and enthusiasm that some…

Community Service Throughout my high school years, I dedicated time to community service, during the summers of 2015, 2016, and 2017 I served as a volunteer at a Summer Camp named, The Cool Summer Experience, that was provided by my church, First Baptist Church of Waukegan. It was similar to summer school, It was from Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm. I was a camp leader, and as a leader I was in charge of an age group, it was my responsibility to make sure the kids were taken care of,…
a thorough understanding of their client’s community. An individual’s perspective and attitude is significantly influenced by their micro and macro environments (Netting, 2012). For example, a client’s community is the link between the individual and the resources provided in their environment. Social workers must be able to critically assess the environment in order to identify its needs and functions (Netting, 2012). Despite the vast amount of community information on the Internet, it is…
exposed to many scenarios during those classes that I can apply to my future opportunities. It also has inspired me to utilize those talents I am passionate about in activities at the high school. Some projects I have worked on for the school and community include: revamping and recreating Jacobs Gymnastics’ website, filming and editing promotional videos for volunteers and participants of Unity Point, the YMCA and Waukee APEX’s Healthy Kids Day, making promotional videos for the APEX program…
