Even Worse

Early on in Hamlet by William Shakespeare, a line is spoken that foreshadows and sets the scene for the entire play. Even though Marcellus is not a very important character in the play, he says “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” (I.IV), and sets the tone for the following events. The ‘rottenness’ in Denmark is spun off when Claudius kills King Hamlet in order to take over the throne. In the era that Hamlet was written, Elizabethans believed that all was connected. If the wrong King…

Orwell’s novel “Animal Farm”, the pig to human transition represents how failed revolutions only end up worse than their predecessors. With Napoleon, there is an increase in dealing with humans, even though the goal of the farm is to be run by animals. The original seven commandments are constantly being modified to fit the pigs agenda. On top of all this, the living conditions get progressively worse and the animals must work harder than before. The name change from Manor Farm to Animal Farm…

individuals, and just plain being rude. It’s everywhere! Frankly, it’s gotten worse over the years. Mark DeMoss, the founder of CivilianProject.org, was quoted in the New York Times saying, “whether or not there’s violence, whether or not incivility today is worse than it’s been in history, it’s all immaterial. It’s worse than it ought to be,” (scr. 1). Here, he describes that the uncivility is in fact getting worse. I tend to agree with this because I too have experienced this. In my work…

feel bad. The other problem was that the apology message was kind of long so my phone sent it as a multimedia message which I know people don't always get when I send them (wish I remembered that before sending it). So now I don't know for sure if she even got that and I never got a response from her. Which is another issue because my phone was also having issues receiving texts around this time (yes my luck is literally that bad... this is why I need to laugh at myself... a lot). So at this…

the hardships of time, the “Greasers” or the “Socs”?The issue is whether the poor kids have it worse than the rich kids.There is more than enough evidence that the Greasers struggle more due to the sacrifices that make and the violent things they experience.Because of the sacrifices they made and the violence they were exposed to,the “Greasers” struggled more than the “Socs”. The Greasers have have it worse because of the sacrifices they make. Darry has to work two jobs and give up his college…

As the cliche goes, just when you think things cannot get any worse, something comes along to prove you wrong. This saying can summarize how this election cycle has gone thus far. We have one person to mainly thank for this: Donald Trump. Rapidly, Trump’s candidacy for president went from an amusing sideshow to frontrunner status, with Trump leading the Republican Party nomination by maintaining his bombastic attitude and autocratic agenda. This is not to mention his comments about Mexican…

In James Rachael’s article “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” he argues that active euthanasia isn’t any worse than passive euthanasia. Likewise, killing someone is not as worse than letting someone die. Also, that there is no moral difference between active and passive euthanasia. Rachael provides different points to help support her argument. The point I will be discussing in this essay is that there is no moral importance between killing and letting someone die. I will be critically analyzing…

You may look at yourself and say " How are we going to stop this?' Well for started we can make sure are pipes safe so it wouldn't leak. Also help prevent oil spills. So lets talk about the main topic oil spills. Oil spill can happen out of nowhere even right a pipe is ready to burst. Like in California a pipe ruptured and spill about 100,000 gallons of oil in the ocean. Causing a lot of sea lions to be injured or starved because of the oil. Or that time in Waikiki over 500,000 gallons of…

smaller. This can cause the vertebrae to pinch the nerves that pass through them (Spinal Stenosis). This back condition can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the back or down the legs. These symptoms usually affect both legs, but the symptoms can be worse in one leg than the other. Severe spinal stenosis can cause leg weakness or trouble controlling…

Money Can’t Buy Happiness but Financial Security Can Despite our nation’s wealth, much of the population is in poverty, due to the fact that minimum wage is not a living wage. While the economy has gotten worse, minimum wage has not been raised since the nineties. The results of poverty on a person’s physical health, psychological health and emotional health were examined in the video, 30 Days Minimum Wage by Morgan Spurlock, in which Spurlock and his fiancée left their life of wealth and…
