Joseph Nye

As noted in the story Jinx by Aimee Bender, the two girls believe that they are in control and capable of everything, but yet they worry about the insignificant aspects in life, such as the way their body looks. In The Yellow Glove by Naomi Shihab Nye, the little girl has no control of what is happening in her life, and as her yellow glove gets swept away she is consumed by despair because she knows how much money gloves cost. As perceived in each of these stories, children see the world as so…

Williams and “Do teachers treat children differently based on their color? Study says yes” by Yolanda Young show that stereotypes can control people's lives and because of this our society needs to end it. In the story “Hum” by Naomi Shihab Nye, a blind man named, Hugh treated Sami fairly, while many others treated him badly because he was from…

introduction into medicine came at an early age. My entire family line, including my parents, are all nurses and doctors. I have been inspired to take the medical route since I was a child. The most I knew about science was from the Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the science guy. Even though I knew little about that subject other than being surrounded by scrub suits all the time, I couldn’t see myself pursuing any other field than medicine. It wasn’t until high school that I gained a serious…

The Kit-Kat Katostrophe Wafers… in milk chocolate. In rows. Break time. Anytime. Break time anytime. BREAK time ANYTIME. Some people don’t get this. Something in their cerebral cortex is wrong, and they do it all wrong. There comes a time when Kit-Kats must be eaten properly, in order to achieve world peace. Sure, we can stop fighting, and ISIS could stop breaking religious monuments, and we could actually like each other but that’s boring. What really matters is eating Kit-Kats properly. You…

I should also mention that when Nye visited the student-run Sophomore Literary Festival I was part of (1977), I was her assigned escort for several days, though in reality that was not much necessary given that the director of the festival my year was John Phillip Santos (soon to be the…

Few movies are sought fit for a remake, but in the case of The Manchurian Candidate (1962), it presented an opportunity to update this classic political thriller into modern times. Producing a remake also presents the risk of losing the original message altogether. Both films begin with an American soldier who is essentially brainwashed into becoming an assassin utilized by his own political family, more specifically his mother, to infiltrate the presidency of America. Behind the brainwashing…

Schumpeter’s work considered the role of entrepreneurs in creating profit as well as building on Weber’s examination of credit-money. He focused on these areas as an attempted to solve two problems with Smith’s circular-flow model. First, that it did not contain profits and secondly, it did not contain the element of bank credit-money. Schumpeter explained that the role of the entrepreneur was not passive, simply responding to price signals. He argued that in reality the entrepreneur’s…

Franz Joseph Haydn is widely known as one of the creators of classical music, as well as being dubbed the “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartet. He is also one of the greatest and most celebrated composers of all time. Haydn once remarked, “Young people can learn from my example that something can come from nothing. What I have become is the result of my hard efforts.” And it was the truth. Haydn came from humbler beginnings than most. He was born in Rohrau, Austria on March…
