Everyone looks different on the outside, why make them be the same on the inside? All of the scholars we cherish today were the ones that weren’t poisoned by the system and were able to break through. These people were able to create their own sense of thinking and become global icons that everyone strives to become, but they never can. The American education should be considered a gem compared to other nations. Just ask Kyoko Mori.
Through the whole 96 minutes, every juror slowly but surely changes their mind, which is why it’s my favorite. It influenced me not to make the wrong choices because not everyone is going to be on my side if I do. Some of the jurors just wanted a decision so they could leave for a baseball game; others had no evidence and still decided. “12 Angry Men” will influence my development at a HBCU because I know that not everyone I encounter will think about my future or put me first. Without one person to sit and think about what will become of me, I could be nothing.
I could modify my diet only if I quit working, seriously. I can take my lunch each day and within it I would include fruits and vegetables. My health is important to me, I do exercise but exercising with not having the correct amount of nutrition intake is basically a waste of time. I am planning to start the Food Planner exercise to help me with daily nutrients I am lacking. Below is a chart of Foods I’ve included in my food dairy | Calories | Fat | Carbohydrates | Protein | Fiber (grams) | Cabbage | 290 | 0 | 70 | 16 | 24 | Corn Bread | 418 | 12 | 69 | 7 | 6 | Milk | 146 | 7.9 | 11 | 8 | 0
But the thing that was most interesting is that most of the people in this society were incredibly happy, fit and some even smart. The way the government is able to ensure this is also different. They do not control the people via violence or oppression but rather by giving everybody in the society a very linear kind of life. They never have to make any choices that are going to majorly affect their lives. The biggest decision they will ever make is where to go on vacation.
What about the greasy pizza your brother ordered that you've been looking forward to all week? You can't have because you need to lose weight. These things could happen to you if you don't live a healthy enough life. It's okay to sit around and be lazy sometimes, but not all the time. Just like it's okay for us to eat all of our favorite sweet or greasy foods, just not constantly.
Even if I ended up being a complete transcendental failure, maybe I'd still learn something along the way. On the first day, I went for about twenty minutes before cracking a joke at my best friend. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me, but I actually stopped and thought about the possible consequences of my actions. Breakthrough! I went for another twenty minutes, most likely, before making some
That day was one of the best days of my life. So working at Six Flags was the best thing to happen to me. I experienced and saw many things. If I could work there again I would but I can’t because they won’t rehire
A Dying Tradition and the Struggle for Existence The beauty of life is that everyone is free to make his or her own choices about life and what circumstances make them happy or unhappy. Christopher McCandless, famous for his Alaskan adventure in April 1992, writes: “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future… The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
As I was reading excerpts from Emerson and Thoreau, I found myself agreeing with some of the clever statements they stated and some of the points they made, but I would not consider myself a Transcendentalist. I don’t think I could live life like they did. I would never be able to be away from people for 2 full years, but I could go away for a while, meaning a week or two, without a TV, a phone, or any electronics and to escape from society. That would be awesome to me. That is actually one of the main reasons I love camping—to get away.
Poem Study/ Imaginative writing on Separation A Twist in my Story. The moon shone so bright that evening, making it almost impossible to miss one of the biggest celebrations in my teenage history, graduation. Although once again, my intentions were delayed due to my monthly visit at Dr. Coleman’s office. Frustration soon led to teardrops of sweat, which ran down my eyebrows as I lay reluctantly on a couch while listening to some know-it-all therapist preach on about how I should live my life. Luckily, it seemed convincing enough to admit that being hard on myself was not the answer, and what was in the past is now over.
