I looked around. The music box tune was getting louder now. Curiosity engulfed me, where were we heading? The boat snaked around another corner, and just as before, we had entered into a gold cavern with gold stars. Gemma stared up, spellbound as they fell like a dazzling array of fireflies. The melody soared to a reaching height, more joyous and harmonious than imaginable. Just then, up in the distance, a prodigious, magnificent looking palace was unveiled. Hundreds of dazzling lights dressed…

What The Future Holds On The Red Planet In 2095, the year that everything in our world seems to change every minute and every second. Living in a vast and different environment to what we humans used to live in. No longer the blue skies but dark and empty, no more smell of cheesy pizza that every child would go crazy for but the disgusting packaged and creamed up versions of green beans. What are clouds? When our world is now infested with nothing but twinkling lights from up above. The wind…

Recent legislation and legal cases have brought the issue of transgender use of public restrooms to attention. With current policies that vary from state to state, transgender people experience harassment, denial of access, and discomfort when it comes to public restrooms. The majority of research on this topic focuses on the problem without providing a solution. Furthermore, most research fails to make a connection between unisex restrooms and the legal rights of transgender people. Commonly,…

For our 20time project Brianna and I are going to help people in Africa and Latin America are in need of dairy animals and goats so that they could get milk and fur.

That's why our 20time project is a chance to fix the problem that people in Latin America and…

Imagine a foreigner taking her first step into the greatest country on Earth, the United States of America. Beforing entering the nation, she had the idea that America was the land of the beautiful and brave. Sadly, when she gets a taste of the true American Culture, instead of seeing the magnificent Lady Liberty, the statue is covered in trash from head to toe. Every step she takes is encrusted with litter to the point where she can’t even move. With so much debris, the possibilities of death…

A few months ago, a couple of friends and I traveled through California. Before leaving, we made a deal: no electronics or social networks unless it’s necessary. Of course we were all reluctant at first, because as teenagers, we are glued to our phones, but it turned out to be the best decision we had ever made. Getting off of our phones did not give more access to only appreciating the scenery, but we had deep conversations and learned about each other and ourselves. I don’t believe we are…

When examining Idiocracy as a piece of dystopian fiction it is very important to define the term dystopian. According to google the definition for dystopia is a perfect world often imagined existing in the future. A world that is the by-product of the reaction between ominous social social trends. The impacts of such trends are so deep into the society that it changes the way we as humans evolve ourselves.

When discussing the successes of development in Third World countries, subjectivity plays a key role in its determination . What a person in a First World country considers development and that of a person who lives in a Third World country will vary greatly due to their individual ideas of what constitutes development. In its planning, “poverty,” “education,” “[gender] equality,” “environmental sustainability,” among others, are listed as goals to be met (United Nations MDG Report 2014). These…

Look Up and Teenage Affluenza There is no doubt that social media has become a major part of the lives of billions of people across the globe. The immense power of the internet is both positive and negative; it can be used for an organization to spread awareness of a charitable cause, or it can encourage ridiculous gossip stories that internet trolls thrive off. However, there is no doubt that the internet plays a key role in today’s mass mediated communication. This is proven through Gary…

This world of ours is cruel and dark; there is so much evil lurking around trying to find victims of ungratefulness, hateful, and careless. It’s so hard for a person to become joyful in this world when such things exist and is trying to take away your life in a sense. So many people in this world focus on things that are negatives no matter how much positive there is. This world of ours has become so immune to negativity that positivity hardly exists any more. I think we could learn a thing…
