However, it is usually debated how much Clement Attlee actually transformed Britain. Many people believed that Attlee's government failed to transform Britain by 1951. Firstly, some people believe that the Labour government failed to look ahead; they spent too much time trying to solve the social and economic problems of interwar Britain rather than planning for a post-war world. For example they didnt encourage investment into new machinery or methods, nor did they try and modernise the constitution. Many believe they should have devoted scarce resources on industrial recovery rather spending them on the National Health Service.
Brianna DiElmo Essay-1 Rowand If one day a so called “miracle pill” was invented to allow a human to function with only one hour of sleep per night but then never be able to dream again, choosing to take it or not would be a huge decision.

This approach had serious repercussions on Necker's reputation; he appeared to consider the Estates-General to be a facility designed to help the administration rather than to reform
Habits are not concrete and are dropped and adopted overtime, a continuous learning process. A habit is something that we no longer think about because it is such a regularity almost becoming involuntary behavior. A person may not even realize that they are doing something the same over and over because it is second nature. Sometimes habits can carry over into other things we may not intent, like a person that wakes up early Monday through Friday for work. On Saturday and Sunday the habit will carry over forcing them to wake up and start their day.

Maybe what it really means to be an “American” is to accept the fact that America is a country full of contradictions and ironies, and instead of chasing perfection, one must simply accept the good with the bad. In Bulosan’s “Be American”, the Philippino immigrant Consorcio wanted so badly to be an American citizen right away that he spent his first paycheck entirely on classical American literature and books on politics even though he couldn’t read or write in English. Consorcio didn’t even know that he was supposed to wear shoes or sleep under the sheets in his bed when he first got to America; he was simply

My favorite day of the week. By the beginning of the week all I want is for the week to end already. By Monday I am already waiting for Friday to get her.
