How Individuals Are Linked With The Butterfly Effect

One day after work you went to the store to buy some food for the house, and in the course of that before you walked in the store you seen a homeless man, and he asked you for money and you ask him “What do you need the money for” and he says “Wanted to buy a lottery ticket” so you go into the store and instead of getting your food you originally had in mind you go and buy a Scratch and Win, and you end up scratching the paper and wining. Now this specific scenario is strictly a case of an option of changing someone's life (which is an outside factor) or changing your own (which is an inside factor), but either way your are brutally affecting someone's life, whether they know it or not, there's an infinite amount of events that take place on a day to day that we have no idea about but everyone is always being affected because everyone is

My connections look at how certain choices can affect your life forever. The texts that I used to convey this link were The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle, The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont and a poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. Throughout the texts used we learn that you cannot always see the outcome of a particular choice unless you choose to go down that path. An important decision is made by the main character(s) in each text and they suggest that not all choices are easy to make and can have positive and negative consequences.

People make their choices based on multiple factors, such as the environment, peers, parents, strangers,etc. Naturally, individuals follow either someone or something. Everyone goes about life, each and everyday consisting of instructions and directions. People stop at the red light and stop at a stop sign, it shows how easily is it to follow a set of instructions instantly. Commonly, decisions have outcomes: good or bad. But what determines whether it is good or evil? Everything can have consequences, however, it can be positive or negative. If someone went through a red light, they can get a ticket (negative) so in order to put them in a good direction, they would not repeat their mistake. In order to understand these terms, ask

The choices that we make today will impact our tomorrow. Whether we realize it or not, every single time we do something, we are making a choice. Many of these choices are subliminal, such as the direction we walk or the way we carry ourselves, but some choices impact the way people look at us. More importantly, some choices impact how successful we are in various things. I chose to write about choices because choices are single handedly the most important thing in the world. Everything we do on a daily basis is a choice, and choices are important to me as a person because they are something I am trying to get better at. The choices made in preparation for assorted events are undoubtedly the most important choices that can be made in our

Influence is powerful in determining one’s future. Actions behaviors and opinions are all connected to impact of others and the way they shape our views on the world as well as ourselves. Self-Image is dependent on the acceptance of others, thus always changing since one’s morals and ethics do not stay the same as time goes on. Influence of others play a role on how one tends to view themselves and people around them, by either being forced to conform to a country’s lifestyle, completing constant tasks to keep up with society’s demands, or being able to be content with oneself rather than being blinded of the onslaught of constant expectations.

The butterfly effect is often defined as “the concept that small causes can have large effects”. This means that one person can have the power to alter the future of any life they touch and change that person forever. Sometimes, people might not even realise the influence they have over others, and sometimes they may use that power and abuse it. “It’s a Wonderful LIfe” displays that every life has the ability to impact those around it through showing how George Bailey improved life for the residents of Bedford Falls by saving the lives of others and by taking over his father’s business. Moreover, it was able to show how a person’s influence doesn’t always need to be positive through characters such as Mr. Potter.

Travis explains the ‘Butterfly Effect’ to Eckels, in which he states how a small action can have tremendous consequences on the future. “...The step of your foot, on one mouse, could start a series of

Our choices influence how we live and how people see us, whatever decision we make impacts not only us, but our family as well. To start off, in the movie Forrest Gump directed by Robert Zemeckis, Forrest the main character is in love with his best friend, but when he goes to marry her, she puts him down. When Forrest asks Jenny to marry him and that he would make a good husband and she responds with “you would, Forrest” and then continues to say you don’t want to marry me. – Here Forrest is hurt that the love of his life does not want to be with him, but she is only hurting him because she is afraid of commitment and afraid to let him down. She loved him, but knows she cannot commit to something she

Everyday humans are presented with new opportunities and situations. These events can change the way they think and make decisions. But it's the way it can change ones relationships that can really hurt one's ability to care. There is a total of 7.442 billion people alive today. Yet only a small portion of that are people one truly cares about. For many people, a specific setting, situation or emotion can alter the way people can think rationally.

Both a seemingly insignificant conversation or interesting horrific as death and tragedy impact on one's life. Every moment, every decision, every conversation creates a wrinkle that travels with others. The majority of people do not recognize the “butterfly effect” or intentionally choose not to dwell

To what degree can an individual’s choices and actions influence the direction of his or her life?

America was founded on July 4, 1776 by our forefathers, including some very noble leaders such as, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, and Benjamin Franklin. So much has changed historically since that time in America. We have survived the Civil War, World War 1, Pearl Harbor, World War 2, the Cold War, the civil rights movement, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Leading all the way up to the most recent historical event, the first African American President, Barack Obama. These events that have happened in America’s past has made it and shaped it into the way it is today and the way that it will eventually become.

Whether good or bad, decisions make a significant impact on a person’s experience. A common mistake a person can make when it comes to making decisions is their choice only affects them. In reality, decisions not only affect the decision maker, but those who are connected to them. In Willa Cather’s My Antonia, a choice to end their life by their own hands causes the one person who is closest to the deceased to make decisions based on their choice.

The “Butterfly Effect” is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in the chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamic system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. This is a great theory that can be applied to specific aspects of life and life in general. I believe it can be applied to my life in the sense that every event that has occurred in my life; big, small, good or bad. I would not change anything, because they all came together to bring me to where I am today.
