The World State

they’re helping or fighting for. Heroes are also considerate towards how the aftermath of their deeds affect the people they help. A do-gooder is someone who performs kind and generous acts in order to make themselves feel like they’ve changed the world around them for the better. They seem to only perform these good deeds for their own personal glory and for bragging rights. An example of a do-gooder would be a PTA mom who only argues with the school board for the “benefit” of the students and…

Is Sammy a heroic person? Well first of all he can be either, not only is he heroic but he also does some bad things. He is pretty much a good person. In my own words I think Sammy is a very caring person. That is why I think he is a hero. He respects his job in all ways possible. These girls come into his store wearing hardly any clothes and what not and he gets a little mad because they aren't being respectful to the store. They hardly even show respect for themselves. It turns out…

The power of social media has transformed our lives. Nowadays, almost every person has a smart phone and a laptop. Most of the people use their smart phones and laptops especially for their presence on social media. The internet in general and social media specifically made very easy to share information. ‘Rebecca Black’ is now recognized as a singer just because of social media’s role in her transformation from a common person to a globally recognized singer. Rebecca Black gained enormous fame…

much. But maybe that accessibility is part of the problem? Himanshu Tyagi, a specialist in psychotherapy, stated in his address to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, “People used to the quick pace of online social networking may soon find the real world boring and unstimulating.” This statement has great value as Tyagi is an expert in this field of research. As well, it makes sense that if we are used to information coming to us in one click or tweet, we would find normal life “boring.” Those…

The sun rose today like any other. I keep expecting the world to stop. It has been almost seven hundred days since the great fall. Six hundred and twenty seven since Liam Ognyer took power. No one could forget that day. I came home from school like usual and my mom ordered my sister and I to pack our bags as quick as possible. She tore out of the driveway and drove off. My sister kept crying and asking where our dad was. She refused to answer and ever since that day we’ve been living in a secret…

right path,there was no one that she could lean on,there was no one to fix her broken heart.Mary left five full journals of letters,and stories to explain why she decided that it was time for the pain and agony to stop.It was time to show the world how cruel it is,and what cruel things it causes people to do.Mary's last letter was to her parents,”Dear Mom and Dad,I wish you could have been there more often,I wish i could have had…

In “Seeing” by Annie Dillard, she wants to tell everyone that we should notice the small things in life. Many people go through their lives going from point A to point B, but they fail to realize all of the wonders that the world has to offer. Many people often succeed in seeing the “natural obvious”, which is seeing what one expects to see, but they fail to see the “artificial obvious”, which is seeing what one does not expect. Seeing more closely and noticing the unexpected, the “artificial…

and be a “rock” in someone's life. Many people think of work as something they have to do, but when work is no longer an option they miss it, loose their senses of accomplishment, and lose a lot of meaning in their lives. People from all over the world are judged upon their work, and work also plays a role in a person's status or overall wealth. Character is the way we define who a person is, and how much value we can place upon their lives. Work builds an immense amount of character from…

I interviewed Taylor Gamblin about his high school experienced. Taylor is 25 years old and has been out of high school for 6 years. He went to Henderson High School. I ask asked him questions about his high school experience. For example, I asked him what he wishes he had done in high school, did anything in high school inspire him to be where he is today, if so what, what is his most memorable high school experience, did he have any embarrassing moments from high school, what was the most…

selfless. That puts others before themselves. That is what a hero is to me. And to me, Oskar Schindler from The Boy on The Wooden Box, and Bruno from The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, is ultimately the definition of a hero. “Saves one life, saves the world entire.” - Oskar Schindler. The words from a hero. In The Boy on The Wooden, Oskar Schindler displays heroism because he is selfless and puts other before himself. “Somehow Oskar Schindler did achieve the seemingly impossible. He handed out…
