Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Today I saw a poem about the holocaust, from http://www.auschwitz.dk/id6.htm. It is titled “Holocaust”, by Barbara Sonek. Here it is below. We played, we laughed we were loved. We were ripped from the arms of our parents and thrown into the fire. We were nothing more than children. We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. We had dreams, then we had no hope. We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying,…

As the world changes everything has to change with it in order to make progress. Sometimes that is a great thing that needs to happen or it could be the complete opposite of what we were looking for. For instance, let’s look at the current situation with the police departments and the courts. The media is bringing more attention to excessive police officer aggression on civilians. As well as, how Judges are giving an excessive amount of time to offenders for petty crime. What are we supposed to…

This can be a very difficult question to answer when trying to avoid minimizing problems others could be facing. The Naturalist response to why bad things happen to good people is mostly because they believe the universe to be a purposeless entity that does not care why things happen or who they happen to; they just happen and we are expected to deal with it (Carrier). This is not the case. In a Christian point of view, the universe has a purpose and it was created by God. We are all sinners…

members of the American Communist Party” (Oh and Latham). This terrified the country and made citizens question their safety. If communists overthrew the government, citizens would have no say so in anything. They would be controlled and tracked for everything they did. This is not what America was or is about. This fear of the Soviets taking over the government became known as the “Red…

had someone by my side, someone that would always be with me through everything that happens in my life. That person is my twin sister. My parents didn’t really expect to have twins, so it was a big surprise for the whole family when they found out. Growing up, my parents worked a lot, so I spent most of my childhood days at my grandparents’ house. My grandparents’ house was one of my favorite places to go, and still is today. My grandparents live on a small farm, so I grew up with lots of…

determined to be a better person than I was the day before. I was very positive and my face always had a smile on it, I thought I was invincible. I have always been a shy girl, never wanted to get out of my very restricted comfort zone until one day when everything changed. I was fourteen in the eighth grade. I had been experiencing loss of balance for a very long time and thought nothing about it because I was extremely overweight and my pediatrician at the time blamed it on that one…

when Columbus and his crew reached the Americas they had gotten better than what they were going to receive in the first place which was a “new world”, a new piece of gigantic land all for the taking. Obviously, there are consequences for everything that happens and surely Columbus getting to the Americas had both positive and negative consequences. The positive consequences were; a new world to live in, cultural diffusion, the learning of new cultures and languages, the spreading of religion,…

government. Today, news media is still running a great course of informing people of actions going on all over the world. Media before the world became self-involved with technology was an outstanding form of receiving information. To get certain political and analytical views across to the nation or the world. We use social media to explain views on topics that we…

A utopia is a place where everything is perfect. In this unit, we read Anthem and 1984, that explained different governments that could happen today. They both dealt with aspects of utopia because they tried to make everyone equal. As we learned, there is no way to create an ideal society because it helps create more problems. U.S. citizens use equality but that doesn’t create an ideal society because it points out problems. Conformity can help but it also creates rebellion and more problems.…

he got his strength," (Today All Day, page 1). His perseverance kept him going, even when he struggled with the wound on his leg. His actions made other passengers believe that they had a chance of getting through their tough times. He never gave up and went up the mountain countless times, even with a leg infection. Numa's great heart was shown through his actions during immoral situations. Inciarte claimed that "He was constantly aware of everyone else’s distress" (Today all day, page 1). He…
