In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food. After reading this book, I feel so sorry for what I did every day by wasting my food and I have decided to do something better such as ordering less amount of food and take any leftovers home and cook them with other ingredients to make them into new dish, instead of throwing them into the trash can. If we can continue doing this, food wastes can be decreased. Also, we should care about our environment by not tossing the food into the trash because wasting food can negatively impact our environment, which will reduce our natural resources. For
Not every person that comes across our borders is just here to work and prosper. This is why nobody should be allowed in without the proper documents proving they should be here. The days of just turning our heads and hope that this problem goes away are over. The next time anyone of us witnesses an illegal immigrant that does not speak English at the local grocery store buying food with food stamps that are government
The Absolute Abolition of the Use of Pennies: The use of pennies used in today's generation has become more of a bother than a necessity. The time has come to finally remove pennies and find a different type of money that will not be a drag to carry around. This does not necessarily mean that there should not be a one cent, but just change the appearance. The penny throughout the years has become useless due to changes in modern society and has also more of an inconvenience than a benefit. It is common to find a penny behind the couch, under the refrigerator, of behind the bed.
Healthcare would also be free. This all sounds like a perfect system, but it is far from it. In Communist America, everyone that works would become less and less motivated to work. The reason for this is that everyone makes the same amount of money, with no benefits if you work harder or have a better job. This could lead America to use fear and violence to “motivate” the American people.
Furthermore these immigrants are taking whatever jobs they can find, and because of this they are doing some of the most undesired jobs in the nation. Some people would argue that the illegal immigrants are taking money from our economy, but this notion is also quickly put to rest, as these workers are putting there money right back into the economy as they buy cell phones, or parts for their cars, or any number of other goods. Because they purchase goods they help other businesses prosper and more jobs are created. Hence the non-legal immigrants are not a hindrance to our society but rather they help it. These people are close to the bottom of our society and yet they provide a crucial role.
Most people have a preconceived notion on how and what Social Security was supposed to do for all citizens. We must take control of our own retirement. Even though people do not save their money any more and rely on the government for more handouts to get by on, most citizens worked and saved their money until they passed on, they made sacrifices to enhance their future, and passed on an easier path for their children. We should not rely on living comfortably on social security because it was set up to give the people in the depression something to look forward to, and it was a supplement to the money a person saved for when he/she could no longer work. Most people have a preconceived notion on how and what Social Security
So that to say my culture is "American" is understating my youth. Not only did they approve of reaching beyond the normality of conceptions, they all allowed me to delve into cultures that interested me on a personal level without disapproval. Because of their openness I was able to accustom myself to other cultures. Upon finding Japanese culture appealing, I began to realize my goal of teaching English in Japan. Because of this new ambition, I felt it was necessary to assimilate myself into the Japanese culture.
When Singer states, "again, the formula is simple: whatever money you're spending on luxuries, not necessities, should be given away" (Singer) it’s like he believes Americans actually care. Americans work hard for their money, they pay taxes for the right to live in this country and therefore have the right to do whatever they want with their money. As Americans why should we give away our hard earned money when our taxes are being used for it anyway? With this economy the way it is most people don’t have the luxury of writing a check of $20,000 to give to the poor, their hoping for the luxury of being able to pay their
Argumentative Essay The American people don't have any problems with seasonal workers. Those are the workers who do the jobs that most of the American citizens don't want to do or are physically unable to do them. The concerns rise when seasonal workers try to steal the good jobs that citizens should have the first chance to. If the seasonal workers greatly contribute to the country, congress should reform the visa system and give them a chance to advance in the United States by making easier acceptance. There are unpleasant aspects of immigration, which includes the hardships faced to reach America and the conflict to gain acceptance.
In a socialist state, the government evaluates the contributions of all workers and fixes wages accordingly. This seems a fair system. Yet, the reality of the situation is that any government's ability to pay depends on the size of the gross national product. If this is inadequate, everybody's pay will be low, with the exception of the favoured few, and standards of living will also be low. It is therefore an irony that many governments are abandoning socialism in favour of the freedom of the market economy to create wealth.
