Jeffrey Sachs Quote

Everyone has moments in their life where they wish they would have done something differently. For example, I wish I would have studied for a hard test more or my brother may wish that he did not run on wet tile and break his hand. Many of these things are personal cause and effects. Most of the time you know what you should or should not be doing at the time of the certain action. In the book The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal, the author asks the reader to explore what they would have done if a nazi asked for forgiveness on their deathbed. What makes Wiesenthal’s situation different from ours is that his pain or for lack of better words suffering was out of his control and the person who controlled it is asking him for forgiveness. What

When he told reporters what happened the word got out quickly. In the end miss Narwin got fired in an attempt to save the school budget and Philip moved to a new school. Philip Malloy is to blame

Eric Schmidt, the chairman of Google said, “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” The quote shows modern society well.

Tom Buchanan, from the book The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald, is a very unique character. Tom is Daisy’s incredibly rich husband. He lives with her in their exquisite mansion in the East Egg, and is described by nick as “one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savours of anti-climax.” This quote refers to the years when he played football for Hew Haven, where Tom and Nick went to college. Nick suspects that “Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.”

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein divulges the thoughts of two diverse creatures with unification in a single event: the birth of a monster. The monster, grotesque and innocent at birth, becomes violent as he experiences the unjust world around him. Victor’s scientific creation leads him to dangerous knowledge: a realm of fear, guilt, and abandonment. However, Victor himself creates his emotions in his embodiment of three of the seven deadly sins1: greed, gluttony, and pride. Victor Frankenstein’s actions expose him as the true monster, pushing him into sin and leaving the monster feeling alone, unloveable, and wrathful.

Ivan physically felt worse when he was having a mental breakdown. When Ivan "wept because there was no answer and could be none" it was clear that he was having a weak moment due to his thoughts (Tolstoy IX).

Watchmen showcased a character by the name of Dr. Manhattan who could’ve been a metaphor for many different things and ideas. The one I see best fit is Dr. Manhattan being a metaphor for the Christian God, Jesus Christ. This may be a reach but we can start with the real name of Dr. Manhattan, Jon Osterman. Jon short for Jonathan meaning ‘Gift from God’ and Oster means Easter in German. Similar to Jesus Christ, there was a before Dr. Manhattan and there was after Dr. Manhattan. Jon Osterman, like Jesus Christ had a preordained life with decisions chosen by their fathers. On page 3, Panels 4-5, we can see Jon’s dad telling him that he will now be studying Atomic Science stating, “They are the future”.

Jones’ novel, The Known World, he foretells the story of Moses, a slave who is suddenly freed from the harnesses of his dead master.

Jones utilizes an omniscient point of view and imagery in order to highlight Moses’ bond with nature, and his interaction with rebirth; revealing Moses’ newfound freedom that he suddenly possesses. Moses’ “chained” up emotions are suddenly unlocked by the beauties of the Earth, as he explores its wonders joyously.

The concept of ‘sustainable development’ is one that has faced heated debates for decades now. A seemingly harmless concept, it raises a lot of questions as to what it really entails and how exactly it can be achieved. But with more than 1.3 billion people living in abject poverty (less than $1.25 a day), and with a reported 22,000 children dying every day as a result of poverty (UNICEF), the debate for Sustainable Development becomes interesting as it questions the extremity of economic growth policies, in the war against poverty. Many note economic growth and development as the only tool for poverty alleviation. Roemer and Gugerty, for example, report that GDP growth of 10% per year is associated with income growth of 10% for the poorest 40% of the population. However, others question the extent to which economic growth should be put above other socio-economic factors. Lele points out that the focus on economic growth has led to important ecological and social sustainability, taking the backseat. He argues that due to strong emphasis on economic growth, not enough attention is paid to social equity, and economic stability within the development discourse.
