Neighborhood watch

Sports. Sex. Screen. My dad names these “three S’s” as the most common factors of distraction for mankind, and says that they tend to make people forget about the more significant things in life. Most specifically, today’s pop culture has made screen or television broadcasting so popular that most people cannot imagine living in a world where such things do not exist. As a matter of fact, media has not only become an accessible tool, but a habit and ritual in most peoples’ lives. In the midst of…

Bentley does this by saying the watch is "The Essence of Britain." Breitling for Bentley's ad uses expensive imaging, a celebrity figure, and association to inspire consumers to rise above and distinguish themselves from "normal" citizens. By taking one look at this ad you know it is an example of wealth, and appeals most effectively…

advantage, I ‘accidentally’ skew his balance. Reaching to help him, my hand slips into his pocket, pulling out his wallet, quickly weighing it in my hand, I slide it into my back pocket. Catching his wrist I clumsily pull him forward, unclasping his watch. A Rolex. Score. I scamper away, panting and apologising, trying hard not to laugh. I stalk back through the crowd, reaching the building on the corner before I hear a loud yell. Giggling, I skip around the corner, noticing the smirks of the…

After each painted dial their paint brush would lose its shape, so after each time they used their brush they were encouraged to touch their radium covered paint brushes to their mouths to fix them to a perfect point once again. For fun, the young women would also paint their nails, face, and teeth with the radium they had and find a dark room to be in to make faces at each other just for laughs on their free time. Within months, the effects of the radium began to take place in them. They could…

When we came back from Winter Break, the clock in Mrs. Allen's room was a few hours behind. It had tricked her into believing that instead of being the last hour of the day, it was actually around lunchtime. Now that the clock is fixed—well, partially fixed, still being an hour behind—, it is now working properly again. A pacemaker is very similar to this. Think of the heart as the clock and the pacemaker as the remedy that fixes the clock. Like the clock still being an hour behind, the…

Timekeeping was an important variable to help progress our economic system and strengthen capitalist ideals. David Landes’ Revolution in Time and E.P. Thompson’s Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism were both written with obstacles of time-work discipline in mind. In Landes’ work, he focuses on the historical motives and origins of clock creation to support his claims and explains that “The clock did not create an interest in time measurement; the interest in time measurement led to…

website verses when no paper is due. On a different note, the internet only holds power over a person if the person lets the internet hold that power. The internet is and inanimate object and cannot hold a gun to a person’s head, forcing them to watch that cat video. It is all mental. The internet can consume a person if and only if the person lets it. There is nothing to fear when dealing with the internet. A thing a person should consider is how much power they are giving the internet and…

by other people and being told of what to do. It’s not until he went up to “Hill X” that he finally started enjoying himself. Many American Indians gather on the top of the “Hill X” and they play drums, chant, and dance. No “outsider” was there to watch him so he sees this place as paradise and finally started smiling. This event reminded him of how his life was before he moved to the city and it is only here that he can find his roots and identity. It also linked back to the theme of…

I really hate violence, and a beautification of violence. When I was a student, or a soldier, there were a lot of violence in almost all groups I was in. The biggest reason why I love to study in the US is that it is not possible to watch a violent situation in the school. If someone uses violence to another student, he will be arrest and expelled from the school. It is a reasonable result to protect students and prevent a huge crime in the class. However, in Korea, it is not possible to expel…
