It's a Small World

hear the words "never forget" what is the first thing that comes to your mind. This experiment was done on students and the main answers I got were the Holocaust, Remembrance Day and tragic events. However, it's not just that it's important to remember the big events from the past, but also the small ones. Good morning 8D and Ms.Cosman. Today I would like to describe my interpretation of the words “never forget”, certain events that occur that need to be remembered and the importance of your…

Humans are naturally deceitful and deceptive, it’s just in our nature. We often put on a façade to emphasize our significance and flaunt our superiority to each other. We are shallow beings; our deepest desire is to make everyone envious of how wonderful we are, even if we are just as insignificant as a spec of dust, floating through the wind. It’s all about appearances with us. Every single one of us is guilty of seeking attention; it’s an undeniable fact that we all just want to be…

powerful—no—so dangerous, that it had to be hidden once it reach completion. It's been many years since she dared to gaze upon the device in fear of someone with nefarious intentions stumbles upon its dwelling place. Falling to her knees, she ignores the burning of her nose as she stirs up dust and cobwebs, and reaches for the desk handle, inching it open just enough for her to see the black metallic gleam on the small, circular device. Her finger grazes the top of the device, silently…

Wanderlust is engrained in so many of us. It’s a natural thing to be curious and want to explore. So many of us wouldn’t be here today if our ancestors didn’t explore. Life is constantly happening all around, why not go out and be a part of it? My favorite poet, Walt Whitman, wrote a beautiful poem about how dire travel is for the soul. (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178711 ) I’m sure you have a bucket list full of places to go and things to see when you do. I know I do. I have a whole…

south of the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile River. This country is filled with rich ancient biblical history and monumental buildings, but those days are over. Egypt is under-developed and most of the population is poor making this nation a third world country. Although the economy is struggling, the Egyptians continue to display good old family, social and value systems. Nuclear and extended family are the basic unit of social organization. Every Egyptian is expected to get married and produce…

I’ve always lived with all girls. Of course I have a father, but living with 6 sisters in a small house out in the middle of nowhere doesn’t help. I blame it all on them. It’s their fault that I am where I am today. The world as I know it has changed. It will never be the same, and it’s all because of them. There’s only one explanation for this mess, and it’s all their fault. My grades are failing, I have little to no friends , and I’m pretty sure I’m the weirdest kid in school. The sad thing is…

peace of mind” in an article at Nlp-now.co.uk. I believe that this applies to anything from a puzzle someone never found the last piece of, all the way up to an answer one had never got from someone, anything left incomplete no matter how big or small. While someone can walk away and focus on something else for a time, the activity or question will still burn in the back of them mind, never able to truly move on from anything started and left for later. So if this is an issue when alive, it…

their mind, of what a hero means to them. Personally, I believe that a hero is a person who is selfless, kind, and caring. A person who will put off their needs until everyone else is taken care of. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make the world a better place, even when nobody is watching. Superman, Batman, and Spiderman are all heros that do this. They do the right thing behind a mask. Not for fame, or popularity. These superheroes do deeds for these strangers because they know…

It’s a sad fact that this beautiful, magical world has become a military state. We just hear about it so much these days due to social media and the Internet. Because of greedy, immoral people, the assumed solution to today’s many problems, especially between countries, is war – killing, genocide, torture, violence, and suffering. It’s frightening how often a country relies on military force to defend its country’s major multi-billion dollar enterprises – like ones refining crude oil, and mining…

Brand New World society vs. Today’s society. Is today’s society quite similar to the Brand New World society in a personal relationship? In Brave New World, things are different than the real life in today’s world. In the book, when embryos are ready to be “separated, they have to do a tour that produces human beings and how well they react to it and will be placed in castes.” The five castes are from the highest to lowest. The highest caste in the group in order is “Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta,…
