“High Hopes” by the iconic band Pink Floyd was released in 1994 and remains a huge fan favorite of many classic rock listeners. David Gilmour is the singer and song- writer for Pink Floyd and has had a very successful music career. Like most of Pink Floyd’s songs, the rhythm of “High Hopes” is very slow and calming but conveys some of life’s harsh truths. This powerful song illustrates society’s unrelenting quest to pursue the perfect life that God intended but hampered by the uncontrollable…

To be a hero, supernatural powers are not required. Television falsifies unrealistic power and strength. A human being or even an animal can be a hero. If someone were to do a good deed, that significant person would be the hero of the day towards the help. For example, if a woman donates some food, a blanket, and new clothing along with a pair of sneakers to a homeless man, she would be the hero in the man 's eyes. The woman has surely saved him and given him relief from his suffering. With…

The issue I will discuss is spies by Lewis H. Lapham. My whole life I’ve wondered if there are people who live in the shadows that gather information on our country’s enemies and even spy on the average citizen. I think every person should be concerned with being spied on it’s an invasion of privacy and breaks the rights we have as humans. It bothers me that there is a group of people that knows everything yet we only get told what they want us to know. The two main articles I will discuss are…

The book “American Jezebel” was written in 2004 by Eve LaPlante, who is from Massachusetts and has written various other books about powerful and influential women in history. The thing that makes this book unique is that Anne Hutchinson is actually an ancestor of LaPlante which allows her to have a different point of view on the situation and she is able to write the book in a different way and explain it differently than another author would. Anne Hutchinson was a woman of change who was very…

Distraint is many things, but subtle is not one of them--something I expect Jesse Makkonen is aware of since the proverbial elephant in the room is an actual character in the game. Throughout the duration of Distraint, Jesse Makkonen relentlessly vilifies greed every chance he gets. Price's capitalist bosses, in particular, are portrayed in an exceedingly negative light. They appear cartoony in their villainy; they manically chant the virtues of money and the infallibility of the law enabling…

Having an understanding of the limitations can strengthen how the social worker applies the key features and assumptions of the case. The key features of the person-centred approach are empathy, unconditional positive regard and self-actualisation. Empathy allows the therapist to view the world from the client’s perspective. The client’s world will include their values, experiences, feelings and perception (Miller, 2012, p.46). For the social worker, this means being able to examine everything…

Have you ever seen The Simpsons on TV and saw Stephen Hawking in one of the episodes in that show? Believe it or not, one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century was presented on one of the popular animated comedies in America, The Simpsons. His presence on the show was comical but Stephen Hawking was more than a made up animated character, he was an actual person with a brilliant mind. Although Stephen Hawking has a disability of motor neurone disease, he was able to continue his work…

Eddie Rickenbacker, a World War I hero and Medal of Honor recipient, once said “Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared.” In The Alchemist, Santiago first meets the crystal merchant and is in desperate need of money, having been robbed by a thief in Tangier, a city through which he was passing on his way to Egypt. The crystal merchant hires Santiago as a clerk and warns him that even if he worked for a year, he would not have enough money to…

Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" involves many elements of symbolism shown throughout the songs. Pink Floyd tells his life story through the lyrics of his songs, maintaining the purpose of the title of his album, "The Wall," and giving it meaning. The meaning behind the songs resonate so much about his background, specifically his days as a youth. Pink Floyd tells his own documentary as he portrays a character going through challenges and struggling to find oneself through a tough time in his life…
