The Fix

this is that it becomes a cycle. Humans attempt to fix and destroy instead, leaving more questions open ended. This cycle leads to then the inhumanity in society today as people leave problems unfixed or worse as the attempt to solve the problems falls through. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the author leaves conflicts unresolved in the last chapter of his novel to expose mankind's inevitable ability to create new problems by trying to fix old ones; explaining one of the many causes of…

nothing changed. An example we see of this is in source B, it says “ Charity helps the recipient with their problem, but it doesn’t fix the cause of that problem.”(Source B, Para 4). The world needs to fix its problems before it can begin to help those that are suffering. Donating only helps these problems temporarily, they are much bigger than what charity can fix. Charity is like patching a road. It provides the road some temporary stability, but eventually the road still has to be replaced.…

The whole gender role perspective on this chapter was something that I have been learning in numerous of classes and see on the news but I liked the authors perspective on this. What was really a cool story was that when they were at a park they seen kids playing and the way that the kids reacted to them playing was something funny and quit unique. When the boy grabbed the little girl in a way to play she stopped looked around then cried and ran to her father. When the boy did the same thing to…

World War I was finally over, and interest in Baseball had peaked as fans across the nation followed the games. Baseball was America’s Pastime with people tuning in to listen to every game on the radio. Despite rumors of the 1919 World Series fix, most fans believed that baseball was still pure and that the games were played to the best of the player’s abilities. However, baseball would change forever in 1920 as suspicions turned into confessions. In 1919, no ball club played better than the…

We tend to ignore our problems thinking we can overcome them. This is a point brought up in an excerpt from the book The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck M.D. The author states that everyone is guilty of complaining, even if we don't realize it, “Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be…

Barack Obama’s inaugural speech and George Washington's inaugural speech, have many similarities and differences. Both of them had some in things in common to say. Obama’s was more in depth than Washington's, understandably so, because Washington, was the first to ever give an inaugural speech, and he did not have any guidelines to work from, from other presidents, because there weren't any others. Washington focused mostly on how he will take the people’s advice, and how he believes god will be…

gamblers; hence were banned from playing professional baseball for life. Nevertheless, I have confidence that Jackson wasn’t involved in the 1919 World Series scandal. First of all, during a game, he and his teammates were accused of participating in a fix with gamblers. The gamblers’ deal was to make the team lose against the Cincinnati Reds. They asked Jackson, as he was considered the best on the team, which would higher the odds of losing the game and winning the bet. Throughout the game…
