Pandora

Mark Kennedy once said, “All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.” (Kennedy 5). From pagers, flip phones, house phones, cassette players, and develop film to voice mails, iPhones, dvd’s, digital cameras and printers are just a few of the many items that over time innovative individuals have evolved and ameliorated. In 2002, the drastic change of technology…

There is a total of 15 gods within Zeus 's family. At first he and just his brothers were to rule all, but Zeus decided on many other jurisdictions. To start off there is Zeus, roman myth Jupiter and used thunderbolts to defeat the titans. Homar 's famous phrase can be quoted as "cloud gather", for he controls weather and the sky itself. Zeus created court and once felt Hera 's scorn for trying to tempt fate to stop son, Sarpedon 's dealt. Seemingly just but, adulterous (171). Next would be Zeus…

sides to this situation. The father may want the child and the mother doesn 't. The side I did not reflect on in the discussion was the father not wanting the child and the mother do. This scenario happens all the time. This will literally open Pandora 's Box for women. I believe that is why they based it on privacy. If they decided to do it, I can picture it as a comparison to female genital mutilation in African. Forcing women to do something they do not want to do to their own bodies. …

the thrill and excitement of having the experience of enjoying the music while connecting with others around me. My first experience with music was through my cell phone, I wanted to listen to something new. While I skipped through music on my Pandora, I caught myself listening to a song that brought me a lot of joy, made me want to jump and shout out loud. “Strangers” by Seven Lions it was. This was also one of the first song I ever listened in a music festival, I listened to it all the way…

of nature’s death and rebirth (Encyclopaedia Britannica). Before modern science, myths were used to explain things about nature. Pandora's Box is another story in Greek mythology. The story is from Hesiod’s Works and Days (qtd. Sjsu.edu). Pandora opened the box, which was a large jar, that contained all of the evils and troubles of the world. The lid was closed and only “Hope” remained inside the box, stuck under the lid. Today the phrase "open Pandora's box" means to that an ordinary…

On 6 August, 1945, President Truman’s decision to utilize an atomic bomb on Hiroshima to end World War II was carried out. The second bombing on Nagasaki was the final assault needed to push Japan into surrender and end the dreaded war; a decision that left President Truman with a feeling of distaste and horror, a decision that very few attempted to sway the presidents’ mind on, and none that were successful (Miller Center 1). However, there was one petition, which if it had reached President…

The question of a student’s expression of religion either by prayer or an assignment in a public school classroom creates a labyrinth of debate. Addressing this issue is like entering into Pandora’s Box, only to find Medusa there. The question is whose God or gods will help us resolve the dilemma of personal rights verses offenses. Will it perhaps be Zeus, Athena, or Perseus? Oh have I already offended someone? Could limiting my discussion to only the Greek god and goddesss cause a prolific…

James Cameron’s “Avatar” is hailed as one of the greatest movies of all time. The story starts with explaining how by the year 2154 the human race has expended all of the resources of earth, and has set up a base of operations on the moon of Pandora with the intent of harvesting the mineral “unobtainium” for use as an energy source. The story follows our protagonist, Jake Sully, a paraplegic ex-marine who signed up to be part of the human’s “Avatar Program”, which involves the use of…

communication. As denoted by the structural-functional theory, music is a functional way to communicate feelings and notions to many diverse cultures and communities. The morning of Saturday, November 18th, I woke up and was extremely tempted to open up Pandora on my phone. I utilize the music streaming app to get me energized for what should be a momentous day. It was like it was wired in my brain that I had to be playing music as I brushed my teeth and straightened my hair for work. Even…
