The sound is loud, and for the most part has aged well. The mosh pit of noises that occurs in The Night Of The Living Baseheads is truly outstanding while still being listenable. Regarding the annoying sounds, it’s clear that Public Enemy doesn’t really care if you like it or not, it’s the fact that they dare you to not like it is what makes it listenable. And honestly I don’t think the ‘whistle’ sample of Rebel Without A Pause is as bad as the constant squeal sound in Don’t Believe The Hype. The other factor that takes away from this album is the two rock-rap songs, (She Watch Channel Zero!?
As with soma, prescription drugs (where prescribed or otherwise) provide a quick fix for physical or mental problems and/or a way to get high. But these drugs also hurt the users, with addiction, bodily functions failing and making them be violent. The use of drugs has severe effects on the users and not only in reality but also in Brave New World. Usually people turn to drugs for relief and contentment, they want to be in a state of mind where they can feel things which they usually can’t and to be in a state of pleasure so they turn to them. Most do not realise the harsh long term effects these drugs can
Sticks and Stones Societies tolerance of verbal abuse has changed over the years. The adults of today, who grew up during the late sixties and early seventies, who endured this form of abuse, also grew up with the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.” (Possibly, to make to abuse more bearable). These same adults have realized that this could not be further from the truth. The damage that words can afflict can be so severe and so long lasting that it would be easier to endure a broken bone. Understanding and defining verbal abuse has been allusive but in its simplest form it is described as name-calling.
1) Making too many excuses for her behavior • “Being male is not a mess of contradictions, the way being female is. It is not trying to resolve how to be both desirable and smart, soft and sturdy, emotional and capable.” (p. 18) • “Ocean City is the perfect place to get caught red-handed… The setting means everyone involved can write the whole mess off as situational.” (p. 55) • “I’ve told myself that I’m drinking and smoking and otherwise acting delinquent because high school has dealt me a shitty hand…” (p. 56) 2) Giving in to peer pressure • “I perform many feats with Natalie that I have no real interest in doing. I hitchhike. I stuff hello kitty t-shirts into my book bag while a clerk isn’t looking.” (p. 8) • “... [Vanessa] just
There are plenty of people out there who would answer yes to these questions. When you think about it, it sounds pretty great, having all of your problems just melt away into the past by swallowing a little white pill. The only problem is that by doing this you are not really achieving true “happiness”, you are only masking the problems causing them to keep occurring. So though this method nobody would ever be able to fulfill their wish of happiness, only push it farther away from their reach. This is what occurs in
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
Living in physical pain can cause one to have a negative attitude towards life in general, and can change one’s personality and can turn one into a person no one ever thought one would be. Physical and emotional pain feed off of each other and can cause a recipe for destruction that can cripple the strongest of willing and determined people. From that moment on, I have been dependent on opiates because of my pain. I would use opiates to treat my physical pain and the emotional pain that came with not being able to do what I enjoyed. Taking opiates would release the same endorphins in my brain that I would feel when I was physically active in sports, and would cause the same high feeling that I would naturally get from winning and being in the moment on the basketball court.
Swallowed in Addiction “You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living until the escape becomes the habit.” -David Ryan What if there was a place where we did not have to think? A place where one’s happiness is controlled. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a science fiction novel that captures happiness through an early age drug called Soma, which produces euphoria with no side effects. They may not be any effects to this drug, but it causes an addiction to it. In today's world with our increasing stress and our never ending use of anti-depressants, it seems that today society is on a quest for soma.
However, the fact that college students take the medication to help them focus and pull all-nighters is an unethical attempt to hide laziness. Unfortunately the drug is readily available from friends who have a legitimate prescription. Students that abuse this medication should consider that some students with under-developed brains really it to stimulate the dopamine part of their brain. In most competitive college majors, some students perceive that there is no way they can keep up with the ambitious nature of other classmates. They turn to ADHD medication to help them write more, remember more material, and study for a longer period of time, giving them the advantage over their medication -free classmates.
They were also far too long for the students to complete. Teachers teach because they adore children, changing their lives, and creating amazing people. They have been stripped of that. Jessica, a teacher, says that she cannot imagine doing it this way (Common Core) another 20 years. She says, “It’s hard to rest my head on a pillow at night, and feel good about what we are doing to these kids.” These personal stories show that education, which is supposed to benefit students, is only hurting them tremendously, because it is not beneficial to the teachers in the first
