Memories that last forever A memory is usually something that impacts the life of someone so much it leaves a part behind that can 't be forgotten. It bring back good times, but can also bring back all the bad, horrible things that changed life without a warning. The Holocaust is an event in history that has affected so many people, ending up affecting history itself. Not only does it bring back bad memories for people but also a haunting thought about the future and this catastrophe happening…

A certain fixation on the riches of life and the benefits of such immense wealth has slowly morphed into a deep idolization and envy of those who leave no desire unfurnished. Social perks come bountifully to those who were born into their wealth and are earned by the nouveau-riche who strike gold through chance and luck. However, society becomes demoralized and hyper-materialized with the prospect of high rank and nobility that accompanies wealth. Though nearly a century apart, the moral and…

At the Paideia School, the teachers try to make race a very comfortable topic, but they never teach students the important boundaries. From the time of Paideia's establishment, the school has been labeled as super progressive, the place for hippies, and very inclusive. On their official website it says, "Paideia should teach explicitly, by example, and through its environment an appreciation of racial, ethnic and cultural diversity." As a member or the community who started in Pre-K, I argue…

Harmful Heroes Every human someone may meet in their life has an effect on them. Sometimes that effect is positive and sometimes it is negative. Everyone has their own ideas about what heroes should be. What those heroes should look like or how they should act are part of those ideas. But what happens to those people when the heroes do not meet the criteria? Or what about when those heroes fail to meet our expectations? Heroes may not always have a positive effect on people's lives.…

The way Atticus does this willing opens a new perspective for Scout, she explores issues of race, class, and loss of innocence. But why do people like this book so much? Oprah Winfrey states “Harper Lee’s masterpiece-my favorite novel of all time traces one lawyer’s effort to defend a wrongly accused black man without sacrificing the innocence of his children.” Ken Shafer said “Just wonderful. I’ve seen the movie many times…

We studied numerous texts in the first semester as Juniors in Room 303, but I have a few that really stood out to me. Of course there are other texts that I absolutely loved, but I didn’t feel like writing a ten paragraph essay. I either related to these texts or liked the style in which it was written. There are three texts that I particularly liked in the first semester. These three texts were Chicago by Carl Sandburg, Hiroshima by John Hersey, and The Color Purple by Alice Walker. One of the…

‘Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test’ revealed that of the sixteen personality types, I have the personality type described as the ‘Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging’ or ENFJ. President Abraham Lincoln, President Barrack Obama, T.V. personality Oprah Winfrey, and my favorite chubby then slim (then plump again) actress, Kirstie Alley, are all examples of ENFJ personality types. I feel honored and privileged to share the same personality type of this esteemed collection of individuals. This paper…

quiet company, which many do not hear about often in the media. The two recent ones are the new president that stepped up as CEO in August of 2013, James R. Chambers. The second is the main owner of the company who owns 10% of the company shares, Oprah Winfrey. Besides Weight Watchers, early on the only competition they had was dieting pills and going to doctors for plastic surgery/ liposuction. Today, many different gyms, personal trainers, dietary weight medicine, Nike+ Fuelband, Fitbit, and…

very quickly and spent money impulsively. She says in the movie that she either feels nothing or feels too much. She has very unstable relationships and loses close friends in the movie. Her television must stay on, and usually has to be on the Oprah Winfrey show (her idol), in order for her to sleep or stay in her house. She has a very aggressive outburst and slaps Gabe after she accidentally burns herself on the show. She gets incredibly angry when the news station cuts off her prepared speech…

financial pressure to ignite thoughts to commit a crime, and the rationalization to make a crime seem less ethically incorrect than it really is to commit (Will et al). Barry Minkow, after gaining high power and praise in the market by reporters and Oprah Winfrey herself, had all three of these aspects allowing him to commit his fraudulent white collar crime worth more than $200 million on paper (Ciulla). When Minkow was 16, he started his own carpet cleaning business in his parents’ garage…
