Possibility

Defining the Being that does the defining, the awareness that is aware, the formless thing that gives form, seems to be an almost impossible task to do through language. Some philosophers arduously endeavor to explain these concepts in convoluted and seemingly clever ways. Making up new names for old terms in an effort to build a new foundation through which the ineffable could be understood. The essay ‘What Heidegger Means by Being-in-the-World’ by Roy Hornsby is a good example of this arduous…

It has been found that when a girl receives more education, that the possibility of having children diminishes with the more education that she receives. This means, if we get young girls in high school to not only finish high school but to go onto some higher education (be it trade school, liberal arts school), she will reduce the possibility of having a child at a young age. Not only will she reduce the possibility of having a child at a young age, but the more education she has for herself…

This semester, I was fortunate to be put in a team where I knew the team lead. We were given two different clients, which were The Old Dog House and Blue Lion Rescue. We knew as a team that one of our goals was to take old proposals and to revamp them so that they could be submitted. It took a week for us to realize that most of the proposals were expired and we needed to take on a different course of action. We then decided to consider fundraising opportunities that could give our clients more…

different, eye-catching way. The Barbie commercial talks about the importance about imagining the possibilities…

Muse upon all your held convictions of freedom and the pleasures you possess. Now contemplate the possibility that there are greater pleasures in life that go beyond what you have been inculcated for the duration of your life. Now place yourself in the opposite position and imagine being raised to despise the pleasures you consider normal. The latter is precisely the position in which the characters of Fahrenheit 451 find themselves. Guy Montag, the main protagonist, is a man in this dystopian…

Not only is Alice struggling between adolescence and adulthood, but there is also the possibility that Alice is facing loneliness because she is unsure of who she is or wants to be. “Alice seems like a wandering child imprisoned in loneliness representing a separate, puzzled, and desperate self. Unsure of who she is at times, Alice indulges in constant conversations with herself in order to rationalize repeating physical imbalances of her body” (Mikhchi). Throughout Wonderland Alice tries to…

virginity right away, but once you find someone you are comfortable enough to have sex with, and you are ready to do so, you need to know how to take the steps to prevent risks. These risks include contracting a sexually transmitted disease and the possibility of becoming pregnant. Before you have sex, you should always make sure you and your partner are tested. Now, when I say testing, I do not mean academic testing. Many doctor offices provide medical tests to see what sexually transmitted…

what you hope for. If you hope for an A+ yet, do not study you’ll be greatly disappointed. For example, I hoped I would get my sight fixed. The sad truth is I hoped for something unattainable and unrealistic. Perhaps, i’m not ready to accept the possibility of hope. On a deeper note, maybe I am what some would call a Pessimist. Some would think I don’t want to believe in hope because I am bitter. That could be partly true. Or the honest truth is I have believed in hope but, it didn’t turn out.…

have less conclusive results than hoped for ("Salt Tolerance of Southern Baldcypress"). This experiment may have had more conclusive results with more time, but every possibility must be considered. One possibility is that the salt was not evenly distributed and steered clear of the saplings’ roots in group 2 mmhos/cm. Another possibility is that group 2 mmhos/cm was able endure the salt intrusion longer due to the other two groups slightly shading it from the sun on both sides. On that logic,…

Time has been always been an exploratory subject for scholars and authors alike. It has inspired many stories, films, and inventions. This is because, especially in the case of authors, time has a hypnotizing effect that allows for alternative possibilities and preferred future outcomes, rather than being stuck in the weighted…
