Some people say that success can be achieved only materialistically. However, if success is only achieved materialistically, we will not notice people who achieved their success through a different way. I believe that success is having an influence over a person or society that will eventually remain in people’s memory and give help at the decisive moments. In the memoir by s Albom, Morrie Schwartz, old professor of Brandies University, clearly defines the success and is paragon of successful…

The drastic fluctuation in the ethnic make-up of South Central from 1960-1990 contributed to a melting pot community that would boil over into massive rioting. Such a radical change within such an abrupt period of time provoked the rising racial tensions. The Population of Los Angeles itself, “increased 87 percent from approximately 7,752,000 in 1960 to 14,531,000 in 1990.” Not only was there an increase in population, but of immigrants in particular. This boom of immigrants was due to the…

The idea that one day we will all die is inevitable. Most individuals do not think about the future and death. We shrug this thought from our minds because we cannot predict the future. In some cases, some will say that they are young and that the idea of death, now, is preposterous. For others, that day may seem to be looming closer and closer as they advance into their 70s. Despite how you may feel about death, we can all concur that this will happen to all of us, and how we approach death,…

Oftentimes, death is perceived as something scary, sad or simply just "the end". In the story, he demonstrates to the audience that death should not be something to be embarrassed about. Unlike Koppel, who is in a nice fitted suit, Morrie walks on with a shaggy gray sweater and refuses to wear makeup. The way he presented/ acted in front of the cameras also shows that death emphasizes the good traits of a person. "Because Morrie sat in a wheelchair…

Some people believe that Iran waited to release the hostages as a punishment to Jimmy Carter for his support of the Shah, and others believe in the October Surprise Conspiracy Theory. An October Surprise is a political incident that is arranged before…

The sociological imagination is something that each human being obtains as we experience life. Whether or not we have a well-developed sociological imagination depends on if we take the time to ask meaningful questions about society. Refusing to accept simplistic answers to the questions that we pose for ourselves, regarding human beings and the world that we inhabit, is the main way to develop these inherent elements into a true sociological imagination. While reading Tuesdays with Morrie, I…

Their desperation to acquire for themselves the largest…
