The Simple Life

project that would allow multiple communities in Haiti to have access to clean drinking water. I really believe that the best way for me to help people is by becoming a doctor and saving lives. No money or tangible substance can compare to the value of a life. I have never worked at a hospital, but I have been a patient too many times to count. When I was diagnosed…

and Epicureanism. Skepticism is appealing because they view the world as only appearances and convention. They believed in a simple life, which I believe is the method to live a good life. Epicureanism also believed in the simple life, and that pleasure would take away from the simple life. With our population growing at an increasing rate every day, I believe the simple life viewed in both of these schools of thought would be the best solutions for a good…

Ancient Futures by Norberg-Hodge are both categorized as books that describe pre-WWII simple life where industrialization has not taken place. The authors of both books appreciate human beings who live harmoniously with nature and balance their leisure and working time. On the other hand, Americans described in Schor’s books The Overworked American and The Overspent American live an entirely different so-called “good life”, which destroy nature and environment drastically. The author criticizes…

sloshes and plunges to the cool ground from water carriers stumbling in and out of the town’s gates. Outside of the village walls, is a simple house made of earth. Here Wang Lung sits in the cold iron cauldron for a bath. In contrast to the village, the countryside is tranquil and quiet. Dried crops crackle in the wind, and Lung hands his father some hot tea. Lung is a simple farmer, so tea is not to be wasted on any normal day, but this is no normal day. This is the day that Lung…

qualities of intellect and character,” as his close friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne described. Thoreau was an adventurous man who wanted to find out what life is. He tries to figure this out by living a deliberate life in the wood at Walden Pond. As Thoreau described, “I Went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it has to teach, and not when I came to die, discover…

Pearl would be comforted, but Dwight just mocks Toby, showing that his children’s fright means nothing to him. This mocking “Please, Dwight,” he said, is an extremely basic structure, simple sentence piece of dialogue, buts it is so powerful that it magnifies the conflict in the scene by being so realistic. In life, mimicking often occurs in moments of argument, usually among children because it is such a low-intelligence form of hurting someone else-- exactly like Dwight. He’s a child, and…

before and throughout: preparing for battle by doing their prewar calculations; getting their soldiers in the best position to sustain victory. Sun Tzu addresses any general, but also indirectly sends his ideas out to people needing an approach towards life through a change in their mentality. Sun Tzu progresses throughout his book, The Art of War, starting with the advantages that generals can put themselves in by going through thorough pre war calculations- one key being knowing their enemy…

tried to make sense of how we currently regulate our roadways. I first looked closer at the vehicle titles the state provides, given the fact this this was of great interest to me. What I discovered was that the titles they provide are not an Allodial titles which would constitute absolute ownership of real property but instead feudal titles.

then ’twere well tt were done quickly. If the assassination could trammel up the consequence, and catch with his surcease success; that but this blow might be the be-all and the end-all here, but here, upon this bank and shoal of time, we’d jump the life to come" (Macbeth, 1:7 ln 1-7). This was his main motivation. But towards the end of the work, we saw that this wasn't the case. Macbeth committed much more evil things to keep himself and Lady Macbeth somewhat safer. And this passage is the…
