The general argument made by Newt Gingrich in the article “Let’s End Adolescence” is that we, as a society, need to get rid of the period we refer to adolescence because it is causing us to fall behind other nations and our teenagers to become lazy. According to Gingrich, “once we decide to engage young people in real life, doing real work, earning real money and thereby acquiring real responsibility, we can transform being young in America. And our nation will become more competitive in the…

One was the passage of The Affordable Healthcare Act and the Contract to America. In the Contract to America, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich created a signed pact of specific policies to support and implement (Brewer 2012, 355). It had the characteristics of a clear, precise policy as defined by a Responsible Party Government. Next was to be the responsibility of the voters to…

Insomnia is not good for anything. For example, if I, the essay writer, were to pull an all-nighter, then write this essay at six in the morning the day it is due, I understandably would either not make a coherent argument or make an essay so marred with grammatical errors. Macbeth’s mind works in the exactly same way, he is deprived of sleep, and as a result he and his wife have very little room for error. Macbeth is the perfect example of what trivial mistakes can cost you. The story begins…

The Correlation Between Society and our Ambition Here in the United States, we live in the land of the bare-minimum. We pull into work moments before we need to clock-in, we count down the minutes before we get to leave, and we put off any projects we have to do away from work (or school) until the last minute. Why are we so inclined to do as little work as possible? What is so important to do that we can’t spare a few minutes to put a bit more effort in? The answer isn’t simple, but it…

One of the most common misconceptions about Mexican immigration is that there is a positive correlation between increasing immigration and crime rate. When asked whether “immigration is causally related to more crime”, 73% of Americans sampled in the General Social Survey believed the statement to be at some level true (Martinez 2008:63). Criminality based stereotypes surrounding recent immigrants (based in xenophobic nationalism) have been used to increase discriminatory immigration policies,…

gives evidence for the assertion that human beings are not objects (Fiske & Taylor, 2013). Essentially, perception of humans like ourselves and other objects perceived are not the same within the human mind. Two specific regions of the brain are involved in similar processes: the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is used in social cognition and superior temporal sulcus (STS) in used in “judgements of intent and trajectory” (Fiske & Taylor, 2013). Purpose and Use of Social Perception Social…

The moral code, or lack of one, in House of Cards is completely the opposite of the one presented in The West Wing. The Underwoods do nothing that is not of their own self-interest. In order to achieve their goals, every option is on the table, including theft, murder, and an abundance of lies. This all options philosophy is surprising given Frank’s wife, Claire, job as an environmental activist. Even when seeking to accomplish virtuous things, such as Claire’s clean water project, immoral…

Hugh V. McLachlan tackles this question in his piece “Bodies, Rights, and Abortion” where he contends the idea of not owning one’s body simply because others say that you cannot. McLachlan mentions : “that talk of ownership of one’s person rather than of one’s body is absurd. A person cannot be distinguished here from what the person is being said to own,” hence displaying how unethical and enological it is for women in America to be expected to adhere to the laws that are not made to benefit…

One day you wake up and you can’t remember your name, where you are and how you got there. You try to remember who you were but come up with zip. It makes you feel hopeless and empty. Then to top it off you find out someone in a puzzle of death. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of human testing, psychological testing, and depression. The focus will be on what each topic is about and their influence on humans. The Maze Runner is the first book in a series of post-apocalyptic…
