The Blob

In a closet in a room in the basement of my house lies a large chuck of raw copper. Corroded with a green and white patina, from its years of oxidation, the parts that still keep their brown color show no shine, and large blobs stick out of the sides that once connected it to the cave wall. When I would play in that room, I always thought that it was just some decoration, and I never knew the story behind it. Until one day mw and my dad were sitting around a camp fire and my brothers were…

‘Sharenting’ is the habitual use of social media to share news, images, etc. of one’s children. Often the consequences to social media posts are not thought about before sharing and are jeopardizing one’s future. In the article “The Perils of ‘Sharenting’”, by Adrienne Lafrance, she discusses how sharenting can affect young children in many ways. Although this seems like a more popular issue to happen in teenagers, it is relevant for young children too. Young children, in most situations,…

Skylar Windholz Professor Miller English 1020-Core Composition 1 12 Sept 2017 The Experience Machine In Robert Nozick’s novel Anarchy, State, and Utopia, he writes about an experiment called “The Experience Machine”, which attempts to disprove hedonism. Hedonists believe “happiness is merely the condition of having a favorable balance of pleasure over displeasure” (Haybron 502). This way of thinking concludes that pleasure is the ultimate life goal.

We should legalize the murder of all babies, since that’s basically what abortion is about, isn’t it? Abortion is currently legal in all states, but even then it is still one of the most controversial issues in the U.S. I believe there are other options for women to choose from other than abortion. I support pro-life because I do not like the idea of unborn babies being killed legally. People who are pro-choice or pro-abortion supports abortion because it is the “women’s rights” to choose what…

The true practice of original art is seen every day, evident in the curvilinear façade of a research lab, the organic blob forms of the digital age or the design of the total skyscraper from the curtain wall to the salad fork as a unified idea. One can argue that design was a religion to Van de Velde. One needs be committed to every line, curve and brushstroke to truly…

The strokes are incredibly clean and there are no blobs or smudges on the piece of art. The painting is seemingly perfect. In the movie ‘[SAFE]’, Carol White initially seems to have a perfect life as well because of where she comes from and also because of how her life is presented in the beginning of the…

Ladies and Gentleman mankind seems to believe that abortion is the right thing to do in our society today. Yet people seem to complain that there are less cures for diseases, there are less soldiers for our military, and there are less and less scientific discoveries each year.

Through this mass termination these…

Abortion is the early or premature termination of pregnancy that results in the loss of a human life. This controversial issue has been sparked debate between those with pro-life and pro-choice ideals. Pro-life advocates believe that pregnant women should not have the right to abort a human life because it would constitute murder. On the other hand, pro-choice supporters believe that women have the right to make decisions about their bodies and ultimately, the right to make a decision to either…

of the management triangle, but merely an implied aspect and can actually be the most important part of the project. Figure 1: Project Triangle Parts Even though the sides of the triangle appear rigid, the triangle is actually an ever changing “blob” as each aspect changes through the course of the project. Time always plays a major role in any project as the amount given to complete the project is usually one of the first constraints a project manager will have. This constraint is…

For example, “Hundreds of thousands of civilians with no democratic rights to oppose their militarist government, including women and children, were vaporized, turned into charred blobs of carbon, horrifically burned, buried in rubble speared by flying debris, and saturated with radium.” (Barnes). Many can take from this that many innocent and peaceful lives were destroyed because of an accusation against the other country. THose…
