The Bare Necessities

the solutions to end malnutrition are easy to find, the process of carrying these solutions out are much more complex. The United States offers services such as food pantries and food stamps that allow people suffering from poverty to attain bare necessities of nutrition. However, being that the United States contains only a small fraction of the world’s malnourished people, the problem remains. Temporary solutions such as feeding the poverty stricken malnourished people every so often will…

amenities? Throughout the play, Shakespeare never answers the question of what makes us human, instead he gives the audience material to solve it themselves. One example is in Act 3, scene 4 when Lear says: “Unaccommodated man is no more but such a poor, bare, forked animal…” here we can note, how according to Shakespeare humans released from civilization is no more than a two-legged…

Education is key to every student or learner. According to most policies of the nation, they allow children to have an education without any interference from any party whatsoever. However, there are underlying factors that can keep a child from not realizing their potential for better results in their education. In short, students tend to perform poorly despite the fact that they have been offered an opportunity to learn. The main factors that contribute to poor performance are poverty and…

In C.H. Knoblauch’s “Literacy and the Politics of Education” (1990), he critically analyzes this view of literacy and the hidden agenda behind its use. He defines functional literacy as an “… emphasis on readying people for the necessities of daily life… as well as for the professional tasks of a complex technological society... Language is a code that enables the sending of messages and the processing of information” (Knoblauch, 1990, pg. 3). In further critically analyzing this…

Many years ago, my family went on a hike along some old, inactive, railroad tracks. As the youngest, I was too small to keep up, so I was resigned to staying back at the campsite with mom. Being left out of the grand family adventures was a disappointment I had become accustomed to over the span of my short life. While they were off on their adventure, and I was bound to the camp, they came across an antique railroad hammer. My dad thought it was interesting and decided to carry it back to…

All my life I have wanted to go on a mission trip to help mentor those in need. So when the opportunity came to go to Jicamarca, Peru I was extremely excited to be a part of the team being shipped off. Before going to Peru we were put through a “special” type of training. During this training we were taught what we were going to be speaking about, a skit, and a ballet dance. So when we went to Peru we would be ready for anything, at least that’s what I thought. Traveling to Peru was intense, we…

But when day came he sat on the rocky shore and broke his own heart groaning, with wet eyes scanning the bare horizon of the sea.” (V: 162-166). Odysseus knows from this experience that joys of the flesh are not sufficient for happiness. Being a concubine will never satisfy, even if it is being a concubine to a goddess. Odysseus knows that if he wants to be truly happy, he must be a…

The second amendment is the “right to bare arms.” January 1, 2016 the open carry law was officially in effect. Meaning, citizens with licenses to carry will be legally allow carry a handgun openly or concealed. I believe that citizens should not be allowed to have access to handguns, and only be left to the people that go through intense physical and mental training to be allowed to carry a conceal weapon while on the job doing their duty like: police officers and marines that’s stable enough…

Multiple times we see a “crayon portrait” of her father as if he is always watching over her (Faulkner 135, 142). She has been heavily dependent on him and now that he is gone, she cannot bare to face the world without him, despite his arguably negative influence on her before and after his death. And so, with her father physically gone, Emily remains in her house most of the time. She shuts herself off from society even more than she already…

Laila, Rasheed is basically a perfect fit for a stereotypical male role. Like most stereotypical men, they all want sons. The reasons could be for financial or family name reasons, but one of Rasheed’s reasons is because his own son died. Once Laila bares him a son (which is actually Tariq’s son), he treats little Zalmai with compassion, patience, and so much love. The moment Laila had a daughter, Aziza, Rasheed was in disgust with her. He did not treat her as a daughter or even a person.…
