I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos concerning BS things that most people do. And after spending half a day video marathon of these shatty video, I realized that humanity becomes worse and worse each day. Well, I know that some people out there are really doing their best to keep up with etiquettes, but the good guy – bad guy ratio comes in 1:1000. Like seriously, you get one pretty good guy over a thousand other douche bags.
So what makes me say that? Well, let me bring back those cringing moments when we all deny a hungry person for food, despite the fact that we almost have it all.
Remember that time when you are in a restaurant or in a fast food chain and this guy asked for food or maybe some change? Well, you have an extra dollar
Granted, pennies waste time. MoneyCrasher.com had this to say: “Often, when we pay with cash at a store, the total amount doesn’t end in a multiple of $0.05… [so] we have to either hand over some pennies or receive some in change” (Livingston). This information is basically stating that since the amount of total cost usually doesn’t end in a multiple of
Race, Ethnicity in Films, and the Criminal Justice System Young black and Hispanic men, who are considered members of a lower socio-economic status are most of the time portrayed as delinquents in popular culture, especially in crime films. Films such as Talento de Barrio, which stereotypically portrays Hispanic men as gang members and drug dealers. Training Day, which portrays both black and Hispanic men as gang members and drug dealers. These two films are great examples to illustrate how the environment, poverty, social class, gender, race, and ethnicity can be part of many of other factors that creates this idea of social structure. The negative stereotypes that are reflected in these type of crime films influence how these two minority groups are perceived in the criminal justice system.
In Janet Poppendieck's “Want Amid Plenty: From Hunger To Inequality” she argues that America puts excessive focus upon hunger issues among the poor when there are many other important issues that go unnoticed. Poppendieck believes that it is time to find a way to shift the discourse from undernutrition to unfairness, from hunger to inequality. In today's society, there are many food banks, food drives, soup kitchens, etc. Food is extremely abundant in America, therefore Poppendieck's statement is proven true when she states that there is too much focus on hunger. Throughout this text, she strongly supports her claims about hunger, equality, and poverty in general.
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world. ”-Charles Darwin. What determines a way a person acts? Is it their own choice?
When people used to get gas, they would pull up, get out, and tell the person to get them a dollar’s worth. Not only would they pump gas, they would also check the air pressure on people’s tires, clean the windshields, and take the money and if change was necessary, they would bring the change back. Back in the day, working at a gas station
Abraham Lincoln once said “human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed”. Human nature has not changed since the beginning of time. Ever since the first caveman walked on this earth, humans have been extremely selfish and self-preserving, sometimes driving them to commit acts of great evil. However, this does not mean that the human race is doomed. Instead, it could actually allow for our survival, as demonstrated in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, Loudon Wainwright’s article “The Dying Girl that No One Helped”, and 60 Minutes’ “The Bad Samaritan”. In all three, people’s evil acts of self-preservation and refusal to help others has allowed them to stay safe. Humans may be evil, but they are
Humans now and then have more respect for each other than any other animal has with each other. When one human comes upon another human they greet each other with a sort of manner. Usually others like to help out when one is in need too. Although man is good to each other when civilized or under proper control, the other side of man is very different. The books “The Lottery”, “The Lord of the Flies”, and “The Pedestrian” all present how people can be uncivilized and how people disobey rules. When people are in a uncivilized place they start to turn against each other, people start to defend themselves, and their mindset starts to change.
When you get hungry, your gonna want your food right then at that moment. Then you may start to think, how war will I have to walk just to get my food? Or you may think that you shouldn’t have went so far from the food spots. Everyone has a big passion for food. The quality of the food is what almost everyone looks at. Or they even look at how it smells, taste, etc. Now what makes everyone upset is the price of the food. A single hot dog would be like $10. Who does that, it’s too much money for a hot dog.
I agree with the fact that "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat" is true but only to certain extent.
A saying based on survival:“A buena hambre no hay mal pan” If an individual is starving, they will do whatever is necessary to keep themselves from dying and experiencing aggravating pain. It's a fact that those who are starving tend to love anything that they can put into their system. Likewise, if an individual is out in the wilderness and is feeling extremely weak from the lack of food, that individual will ultimately do what is necessary to keep himself alive by eating whatever the individual can find.
I like your analogy where you compare the bulldozer approach to a marathon. I think the analogy highlights the fact that while it's possible to succeed for a little while using the bulldozer method, eventually it will catch up to you and you will get burnt out. I know I made this mistake myself when I started my first semester at Forsyth Tech and I'm definitely not the only one. I also quite like how you say "Excellence sometimes is a process of failing and trying again". I think too many people believe that they cannot achieve excellence simply because they have failed in the past, but what they don't realize is that excellence is a result of learning from your
I went to buy food yesterday and I only brought exact change since I know what I am going to get and when I had everything ready and was going to buy it the merchant said I need to pay
We gradually deteriorated from being good to evil. Consider the crimes existing nowadays, they are far more severe than the crimes committed in the past. Generations ago if someone robbed a shop that was considered scandalous and cruel. In contrast, today’s society we see much worse than robberies. Robberies have become a common crime now and all you see in the news is a world filled with hatred, wars, and terrorism. In some countries people are scared to step out of the house because so many things could go wrong from kidnapping to getting rapped. This shows that we are far more afraid of our own kind than we are of animals. If you’ve ever heard your parents or grandparents tell you stories about when they were young. Then, you’ve probably heard them saying that their parents felt safe enough to let them wander around and hang out with their friends when they were small. They felt safe and secure, violence was very rare. If they forgot to lock the house at night then it didn’t really matter, but today we see that everyone is scared of what could happen next. You can’t even leave your house without making sure your doors locked. This proves that humans were far better in the past then we are right
Imagine this: You are at a McDonald’s drive through. You have ordered only one cheese burger, but when you drive up to the collection window, the young trainee hands you a big bag filled with food and a handful of change. There are two options, do you, A; tell the young trainee that you only ordered a cheese burger, (which cost you only $1.90) and give back to him the big bag of food and handful of change? Or do you, B; say thank you to the young trainee and drive off happily with the huge bag of food and all the change, feeling lucky that the trainee made a mistake with your order.
In today's society, there are just so many things going wrong. We have shootings going on more often, we have riots all over, and we have terrorists threats now, and maybe it is because people just don't see the good in anything anymore. It all starts with us as humans. We have trashed this place, we are becoming evil, we are becoming our own enemy, we are killing people, and we are putting others down for no reason. The big question is, why? Why are we so mean to each other? Some people could say it is because we don't love ourselves, maybe because they have had something traumatic happen in their lives and it's hard to see the good, maybe because we have made poor choices and we think it is too late, maybe because they aren't religious,
