Ford Pinto Paper #5403 In 1978, an attack came unto Ford from unhappy consumers. These consumers, or more telling, their next of kin, were unhappy with the safety offered by Ford’s subcompact model, the Pinto. The subcompact was a new addition to the American markets, but not new to markets. The markets overseas were run amok with much more favored subcompacts for years. The American market was just now, however, starting to lean away from the larger, more gas guzzling cars and going towards…

Have you ever contemplated what hell is like? If so, I highly encourage you to continue reading. Being an over-analyzer is as close to hell as humanly possible; believe me, I would know, as I suffer from the burden of being an over-analyzer. According to Urban Dictionary, an over-analyzer is one who looks too deeply into any situation and over thinks everything (emphasis on everything). As accurate as this definition appears to be, it doesn’t entirely encompass what it means to be an…

Andrew Just last year, Dylan and I traveled to Haiti on a missions trip. As you may know, it's one of the poorest countries in the world. When we were beginning our descent on the airplane, I thought about how little roads and how poor the housing was. We drove through chaotic roads and rubble filled alleys, until we reached the orphanage. New Life Children’s Home is a safe haven for kids who lived in the mountains a couple miles north. These kids were neglected, sick, beat, starved, etc.…

There’s a video of two teams passing basketballs to each other. One team wears white and the other black. Viewers are told to count how many passes the white team makes. They watch the whole video to see how they did only to find out something crazy. There was a gorilla that walked in the middle of the players! It was invisible to them! (Hence the title “The Invisible Gorilla”) This is the experiment mentioned in the book that Chris Chabris and Daniel Simons performed. This book is very…

Newcomers To GCC “Students cited not liking school, failing school and not getting along with teachers are the three most frequently cited reasons for dropping out”. As a first time college student walking through campus, it can feel overwhelming. Looking around, you see this modern campus with huge space all around you, and your first impression is how would you navigate through it by yourself? Everybody is rushing to class, and you are probably shy to stop anybody to ask where a building is…

Call of the Wild The Alaskan forests can be harsh. That is where the book Call of the Wild takes place. Call of the Wild would be a good book to try out because of a nice challenge in the writing, good life lessons being taught, and it also had relatable characters. Some people may argue that the plot is too simple, with too difficult phrasing, maybe how there are too many lessons, and not enough entertainment, and too many characters, but not all readers may think that. Call of the Wild is…

Dumb Things Are Important Hello. I think you're pretty neat. Thank you for stopping by. So dumb things... If you wanna take the title as a complaint, you'll have a lot of ammunition to prove your point. In the education world, there are a lot of dumb rules and contradictory policies from the classroom level all the way up to the education policy makers. The problem, for me with this line of thinking is it's not what I do well. I mean, yeah, I can complain, and iddlI can point fingers, but I'm…

In my book Four-dimensionalism (chapter 4, section 9), I argued that four- dimensionalism – the doctrine of temporal parts – follows from several other premises, chief among which is the premise that existence is never vague. Kathrin Koslicki (preceding article) claims that the argument fails since its crucial premise is unsupported, and is dialectically inappropriate to assume in the context of arguing for four-dimensionalism. Since the relationship between four-dimensionalism and the…

"I just love the mornings,” Bilbo was thinking to himself. The night before, Bilbo had just saved the whole party from a giant spider, and they were all very thankful towards him, since if he wasn’t there, they all would’ve suffered one painful, sticky death. “Why don’t we sit down and enjoy a good morning meal, I bet most of us are sore from that spider, and there’s nothing like a good meal to make you feel better!” suggested Bilbo. The faces of the dwarves lit up, but only for a second,…
