for we are now all connected throughout the world in one way or another. An individual can pick up this small 6.7 square inch piece of plastic, place their thumb on a button to unlock it, tap digit buttons displayed on the screen, and talk to someone on the other side of the globe. This level of communication is not just restricted to phones, but can also be done through computers, iPods, and tablets, and not just audio, but visual as well.

was 6 the movie Wall-E came out. I was fascinated by the thought of the world piling up with trash and humans moving to another planet. Much to my relief, my mom reassured me that it was just a movie. It looks like the world that Wall-E lived in could be a global reality, until Dutch aerospace engineer and inventor Boyan Slat raised over 2 million dollars to fund his new invention, The Ocean Vacuum. Since we live in a world where over 5 trillion pounds of plastic litter the ocean this is vital…

Habitat for Humanity's Mission to Make Changes World Wide As I think about how thankful I am to live in such a great community and home with a great family it makes me wonder about those who are not as lucky. According to the Habitat website the About us article tells us that “There are nearly 2 billion people around the world who live in slum housing and more than 100 million are homeless”(About Habitat for Humanity).

In a world where most of us are rushing, we need to slow down and have a bit more compassion for one another. We’ve probably all been that person hustling so quickly to get to class or work that we’re sweating under our jacket, letting the fury build up in our chest as the people in front of us move so slowly. So slowly. It’s especially infuriating when we get stuck behind human statues on an escalator. Why the heck aren’t people – at the very least – slowly walking on the moving stairs? In…

environmental problems in the world today are a result of individuals abusing what the world has to offer. Many of the natural disasters we face are a result of the earth fighting back to what we as humans are doing. I thought that this film was very resourceful.

also strongly criticizes organized religion throughout the story, by showing the reader religious leaders who are corrupt and do not follow their doctrines. It is extremely foolish to be too optimistic, because you will become unable to view the world for how it is versus what your perception of it is. This is what I believe Voltaire is trying to convey to the reader and will be the first theme I will discuss. Candide had been taught by Pangloss in the safety of the castle he initially lived…
