Avoiding the Destruction of Society People believe that times are pretty great today, but are they really? People don’t know how to communicate with each other face to face anymore. Technology is starting to define people. People are being forced to be alike for certain situations, and censoring is shading people from some things they need to see. We are clearly headed down a dark and unforgiving path. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the author displays a possible society that is ultimately…
why and how things happen. The wish to understand that question is always present in our minds. We are constantly striving to search for the purpose and meaning of the things we do in our everyday lives. I believe we need reason and purpose in order to do anything, just how some need a reason or reasons to keep living, or their lives may become “meaningless”. I believe the meaning of life is to find what is true to you by using your own personal experiences and dreams. Everything you do…
1984 by George Orwell there can be plenty of “shocking” relevance and connection of information that we can find in our world today. The reaction I get from this novella is that the way Orwell persuades how the world is in 1948, is still happening today in our nation. The information Orwell provides in 1984 is astonishingly related to what is occurring in the world today. We still have issues with privacy, freedom, government control, language, and much more. “They kept on his tail for two hours…
it expresses no matter what has happened to you, if it doesn’t kill you then you are stronger, the same point Horace wants to get across. Adversity can shape a person into becoming stronger, wiser and a more open person who is able to believe everything happens for a reason. Adversity can mean many things when it comes to affecting a person’s life whether it's the hardest thing they have ever experienced or the best thing that they have ever encountered. About now,…
People should be aware that all types of bad things can happen in life and you should not be surprised when they do happen. Events that happen in life are not themselves painful or bad in nature. The reason they cause pain and are hurtful is the feeling that they happened for no reason at all. This leaves people feeling sorry for themselves and overall unhappy. We should all accept that everything happens for a reason and whatever happens was meant to be. If someone were to have an accident and…
Hi, my name is Jessie. Today I am going to share a TEDTalk called, “What makes life worth living in the face of death” by Lucy Kalanithi. The speaker, Lucy Kalanithi, is a caregiver and the widow of Dr. Paul Kalanithi, the author of When Breath Becomes Air, a New York Times Bestseller. In the TEDTalk, she talks about what she felt and what happened when her husband died from having tumors in his lungs and bones, and finally dying of cancer. Paul was a neurosurgeon and Lucy was a physician. They…
I faced numerous of dilemmas together, strengthening our connection. My most valued moment is the times I’ve spent bonding with my mother. I cherish spending quality time with the woman who has sacrificed absolutely everything in her capacity to see me flourish to who I am today. Moreover, every moment, activity, sorrows, joyful moment we have spent together has strengthened me and pushed me. Every time I need encouragement and or motivation I only need to think of her. After feeling I could…
Atheist or To Have Faith We have always wondered about how everything in this universe was created or how we humans came to be. We humans have come up with explanations to these answers, but each explanation differs from one to another. These explanations are called religions. Each religion has its own story and creator/creators. These religions only contain stories on what happened but there is little to no actual facts if what these religions tell us is true or not. So because of this, many…
monetary issues but other superficial situations. American Families today are not like years ago. Families have lost the meaning of the word unity and the word respect. Parents are getting divorced like any other era, families are getting apart. Single mothers raising their children because the father could not handle the responsibility of a child or vice versa. As a society, we have lost respect for marriage. People are getting married today and divorced on the next. This is one of the main…

And how big of a change is it from what you originally…
