Appearance can also make us feel less confident because of the fact that our appearance doesn’t fit in the group like your friends. Other will judge on other people on the way they look, the way they dress, which will lead us to think we don’t look good and it might even lead us to neglect ourselves. 2.

If technology continues to develop at this rate, people will slowly begin to depend on it just as much as Mildred did. People nowadays forget about the conventional things in life and allow themselves to be consumed by a world of technology. People have now begun to rely on technology such as portable devices for entertainment. This increase in use of technology will cause more people to stop reading for fun and begin experimenting with these new gadgets. Even though these devices come with many ways to read, most people do not use this to their advantage.
Bad conformity can be found everywhere, especially in the media. TV shows and Advertisements depict people being perfect and beautiful looking when it’s mostly airbrushing that makes them look that way. The Youth then begin to think that’s what people should look like and they want to look like that. Knowing that they can’t look like the models in the Advertisement, the youth sometimes become depressed. The belief that Physical beauty is more important than intelligence is a very common habit throughout the world, especially in schools and as a result, people may often conform to accept values of appearances rather than focusing on the values of a persons gifts and talents.
This is a very important piece of the story because it encourages the reader to think deeply about the text. Lengel, the store manager, refers to the group as girls which is very interesting because he could have gone with saying ladies but he didn’t. The reason the author chooses to put the word “girls” in there is to show that Lengel is not entirely respecting the group as young adults. He is really talking down to them and is not treating them as an equal. In a professional setting, or when a manager is talking, typically they would use the term ladies.
People also tried to turn away from all the sorrow, so they accepted this new foreign religion coming in, regardless of the political situation in China at the time. It is clear that many people in China met Buddhism with admiration (Doc. 1, 2), tolerance (Doc. 3, 5) and disapproval (Doc. 4, 6).
If it was indeed suffering then we must determine why it was suffering. In order to determine the facts of this case I would recommend that both Paula and Sam are suspended, with pay, in order to conduct an investigation. If it is determined that Paula’s allegations of unwanted sexual behaviors is true, that it was motivated by inappropriate supervisory relationship, and it affected her job performance, than a hostile work environment was created and we are in violation of Title VII. In the case of Sam blocking Paula’s transfer to another department, “because she may get pregnant”, we can be held liable under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which forbids discrimination in employment based on
The Language Police Throughout “The Language Police,” the angered author, Diane Ravitch, speaks her mind on the issue of censorship. Censorship shelters students from the real world and gives them a false sense of reality. Ravitch believes that students are being censored to such an extreme that their freedom is being limited. The goal of the language police is not just to stop us from using objectionable words but to stop us from having objectionable thoughts (Ravitch 158). The language police are restricting what students learn by removing anything that may appear controversial.
Imaginary audience arises from the larger concept of adolescent egocentrism. Teens will feel that the imaginary audience is always commenting and judging them, teens at times can get caught up in their imagination and consider themselves “celebrities” but no one is actually watching them.

In the Essay “Pc is Ridiculous!” by Alison, the purpose of this essay is to state her opinion on the fact that she believes Political Correctness (pc) is ridiculous to her! She finds it to be so ridiculous that she begins to insult the people who participate in pc. The thesis of this statement begins in paragraph two, although paragraph one does not state much of a thesis because of the way she begins to vent and ramble on how ridiculous it is. But in paragraph two she states the purpose of why we or the populous participate in pc. She states that if we continue to participate we will be a “repressive society” which to me seems very one sided, she speaks to everyone in this essay, because she wants everyone to know that if you participate in the pc, we are not only being ridiculous but we are being a “repressive society.” This essay, or what seems to be an essay, is not an effective argument because of the way she argues, she does not see things from both sides, but she chooses to voice her side and why she thinks it is ridiculous!
In order to accomplish these goals, it may be necessary to go outside of one's comfort zone and go against one's beliefs and morals.
