Right Actions By Tyron Edwards

When I think about the past there are a lot of things that I wish I had done. Whether it be, standing up for myself, defending myself, gone zip lining, taken back some of the things I said or tried harder. It is important to not think about regrets too much because in fifty years any of the mistakes you've made aren't going to matter. Even if you think that it is the biggest mistake ever, nobody will remember it in fifty years. It is still important to make mistakes and have regrets because in the long run you’ll have nothing to look back and laugh about, or give valuable lessons to other people

In the fighting and rioting scenes toward the end of his 1989 film Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee uses the misc-en-scene and camera angles to demonstrate that racial tensions are still strong between the white police officers of Brooklyn and its black citizens. He accomplishes this through the various actions the police officers take depicting their poor handling of the situation and the effects of it taken on by the black rioters.

The title of the book "Running on empty", by Peter G. Peterson tells what really happens behind the scenes of both Democratic party and Republican party, and how in their own way they are bankrupting our future. "Running on Empy" provides a cogent look at americans political, and physical deterioration describing the financial crisis in the United States. Having hands on experience with this several political and govenment views Mr. Peterson discuss how our country is totally in debt and how we as americans can rebuild our future. Being a republican Peterson calls out mistakes made by both parties being equally irresponsible and presenting nonpartisan solutions. As a Democrate I believe that the democratic party focuses more on everyone being equally happy and healthy and ignores the fact that they could help the financial crisis by decreasing some of the social programs they 've created that help people in our society. I truly believe that some of the programs that were created by the democrats have cost our citizems an exponential amt of money, with minimal improvement to our society. Also , a lot of these elected programs have handicapped our society. I personally believe that if you teach a person to fish , they will always eat. But, if you just feed people the fish you 've caught , it promotes laziness and the people will eventually starve. My take on this comparison is that the democrats only supply the fish to the less unfortunate and the Republicans teach the less

Spike Lee's comic drama show Do the Right Thing appeared in film theaters all across America on June 30, 1989, A business achievement that has gotten various honors, for example, an institute grant for 'Best Original Screenplay. ' Do the Right Thing recounts the tale of the becoming racial strain between a neighborhood's African-American dominant part and Caucasian minority on what was considered to be the warmest day of the year. The film includes actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Martin Lawrence and even Spike Lee hmself. They have multiple discussions about racial and social issues that are still occurring in the present day. Spike Lee's creation was considered "socially critical" by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1999. To have a clear

In this essay I intend to explore the narrative conventions and values, which Oliver Smithfield presents in the short story Victim. The short story positions the reader to have negative and sympathetic opinion on the issues presented. Such as power, identity and bullying. For example Mickey the young boy is having issues facing his identity. It could be argued that finding your identity may have the individual stuck trying to fit in with upon two groups.

Both “The Right of Love” by Gene Lees and “The Canonization” by John Donne represent a form of forbidden love due to ethnicity and religion where both parties are fighting for the acceptance of their relationship. Donne, although catholic, falls in love with a non-catholic woman which is looked down upon by others. In his poem he states, “we in us find th’ eagle and the dove”,the two birds represent two polar opposite symbols, the eagle represent strength and courage, while a dove represents love and peace. Although a relationship between catholics and non-catholics were forbidden, they found a common ground in their love for each other. Differences can strengthen the love between two individuals, which is also shown in “The Right of Love”,

Soul by Soul by Walter Johnson centers on the internal slave business in New Orleans as well as the slave market as a place of portrayal and oblique connotations built around the commoditization of the physique of slaves .A significant interest in Soul by Soul relates to the slave pen, where slave bodies as commodities determined the identities of black and white persons. Slave transactions were typically about show and filled with meaning-making, which was itself characterized by cost and worth. The paternalism ideology employed the black persons’ physique and slave transactions to imply that white persons were assisting powerless black people in the slave markets. In essence, the ideology suggests that, contrary to common perceptions, white persons were not separating slave families .The slave market history discussed in Soul by Soul relates to that of the antebellum in the South where slave trade was basically about purchases and sales. Those who owned slaves were consumers in the marketplace. Consumer way of life had structured individual identities. Slave bodies were regarded as items to be rated and assessed and were usually the subject of discussions. Every slave was given a made-up and decorated past. The market culture of slavery in that era was based on fantasy just like the ideology of paternalism. Succinctly, the slave market stimulated the self-definition of white persons from the South.

The book in Contempt was written by Paul Hawken. Paul Hawken is a famous environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author on the subject of corporate sustainability. In his book, Paul Hawken charges business and industry as, one, the major culprit in causing the deterioration of the biosphere, and, two, the only institution that is large, pervasive and powerful enough, to really lead humankind out of this situation. The book focus on the total of damage to the ecosystem and the risks that it poses for mankind. Environmental risks comes from in the extinction of many different species, and many species have already become extinct due to human. All and every species is a part of the ecosystem and each species play a role in the global system. When

In today's society, you are judged by the clothes you wear, the house you live in, the car you drive, and other materialistic items. Regardless of whether you are a adult or a child, envying those with more is human nature. A less fortunate person will always feel inferior to those with more because they feel they are being judged. Rick Bragg, having to earn his way into the middle class, envied those who were born into rich families. He then soon realized it was an achievement on his part by having to work for what he now has: justification.

I feel awkward answering this question because I have made many mistakes and there isn’t anything good out of those mistakes. In my opinion, wrong decisions never bring anything positive. Wrong decisions decrease morale and self-esteem. At a young age, mistakes or wrong decisions don’t affect much, but as you get older wrong decisions can have a tremendous negative impact. There aren’t second chances for people who make wrong decisions. I know that deep down below the surface mistakes can bring opportunities to learn and improve ourselves, but in this rapidly changing and moving world, there isn’t time to reflect and learn from those mistakes. If wrong decisions brought opportunities for learning and personal improvement, many

Tyron Edwards once said, “Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past”. You can make up any past events with the right actions because actions tend to speak louder than words.

“I believe that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.” This statement stood out to me for a good reason. This reminds me of a few instances where I have done something, or said something, that I immediately regretted, and even though I was forgiven, I could not forget it. When I was younger I had a friend that bullied a lot of people.

Humans always surprise each other. The amount of good we can commit in just one simple act can be astonishing. Whether it is donating money to charity, helping out an old friend, or just even offering someone a smile or kind word when having a bad day, can lead to a great impact on their life. “Just as one drop of water creates countless of ripples, so does one gesture of kindness or love change countless lives (Randi G Fine)”. These noble, grand gestures; or le beau geste; are unselfish acts that people commit with the intention of creating a better life for someone else. These acts can be committed due to love, compassion, or sacrifice. However, in the end, all these noble gestures boil down to creating a better world out there for others.

The most stressful time is when you are in a court room. When people are in a court room they are very tense because there is a case they have to talk about. The foreman in this book is a very just man, and he doesn’t want people to get into fights. I think Reginald Rose wrote this book because he wants us to stay calm even when we are in stressful times to not make things worse. He wanted people to have justice when others are wronged. Also, he wanted people to think of their wrongdoings, and make a change about it.

No two accounts of any event are ever exactly the same, as different people have unique experiences that impact their views. Historical accounts and history books are the same way, as an examination of A People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn, and Give Me Liberty, by Eric Foner demonstrates. Both accounts of early American history cover the important colonies, such as Jamestown and the influential Puritans and the immigration of different peoples to America. They differ however, not only on the depth they choose to go into these events, but also on interactions between the natives and the colonists. A People’s History, by Howard Zinn, tells history in a biased way that excludes information that Eric Foner, of Give Me Liberty, does not. Zinn’s bias is in favor of the Indians, while Foner lacks a bias, telling history from all views. This difference can be noted in the telling of the Pueblo
