Sheffler's Analysis

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future (Krakauer, pp. 56-57).

Krepice, Poland, July 27, 1917 Joseph Sher was born to Simon and Felicia Sher. Simon was a tailor mainly for priest. Joseph had five other siblings, three sister and two other brothers. As he grew up he learned that Jews were disregarded and second-hand citizens in Poland. But little did he know that it would get much worse for them.

In Daniel Gilbert’s “Reporting Live from Tomorrow”, Gilbert makes use of statistics, studies, and experiments to convey a multitude of ideas, primarily the concept that while many people are opposed to, or are in disbelief of it, turning to surrogates as means of predicting our own future is quite effective. Gilbert’s concepts and theories are quite important to take into consideration not only as a general message of how human beings tend to let factors such as their imagination or their own self-image cloud their perspective on the future, but rather as an alternative viewpoint and how through surrogates, we are able to make more accurate predictions on our own future, such as what will be providing us happiness when

Examples like those are the reason that Wiesel questioned if society had learned from the past (Wiesel). It sounds like Wiesel had hoped that what had happened to him was not going to happen to anyone else. If society was changing, then maybe there was hope for the future generations.

The juxtaposition Eric Foner creates between Stephen A. Douglas’s, popular sovereignty and Lincoln’s absolutist ideology, demonstrations that the issue of slavery will ultimately transform the political atmosphere for years to come. According to Foner, both Lincoln and Douglas disagree on the account of the intentions of the founding fathers right to “local self-government”.

21 year old Nic Sheff with an extended history of drug use has finally been sober for a little over a year but that soon changes. In and out of rehab centers and 12 step programs Nic began experimenting with drugs at quite a young age beginning with alcohol at age 11 closely followed by Marijuana at age 12. As Nic becomes older the drugs become more lethal from heroin to crystal meth. One day in the city of San Francisco Nic runs into an old friend, Lauren. Lauren and Nic soon follow that meet with a drug dealer named Gack and pick up a gram of crystal meth. What follows is a chaotic swirl of events.

Then, he stated his idea “the optimism of uncertainty.” To support his opinion, Howard gave various examples during the last century. Infact, the history of humanity has lots of unpredictable shifts which happened at any moment, and the future itself is utter unpredictability as well. Howard gave his readers an example after an example: the unexpected revolution which overturned the czar in Russia and the fall of the Soviet Union later, the unpredictable shifts of World War II which the German army was defeated, and the failure of both the Soviet Union and the U.S. during the cold war... When the author mentioned these historical events, the author succeeded in convincing his readers that undesirable moments will not always continue and no one could predict the future ahead. He got pessimistic people who believed that the world is getting worse to shift their perspective: “Why don’t we believe the world can get any better?” Clearly, his message in the article is we should be hopeful of a positive outcome even though in bad

For instance, Coburn just gets up from his long sleep and faces the sudden change of the world to Zombie apocalypse. At first, he does not recognize the change of the world and complains about different environment. He cannot admit that “the buffet had closed” since no humans are around (Wendig 39). Before meeting Kayla’s group, he has no way to figure out what exactly happened but just looks for new blood as usual. On the other hand, when Coburn meets Kayla’s group, they already accept the reality and attempt to seek the solutions for apocalypse rather than complain about what happened or jeopardize themselves by turning into the zombies. Therefore, they decided to head to “downtown Los Angeles, since the lab is working on a cure for the plague or a vaccine” (113). These two extremely different reactions come from the prior knowledge about the

It applies to Julian because he had only been out of school for a year and was disappointed at not finding success as he had hoped. He had decided he would probably never find success. He needed to face his new reality and realize he was going to have to work hard to get to where he wanted to be. He needed to dealing with selling typewriters till he found an opportunity to write. He was himself acting as if the world was ending because he had not found success and needed to face a few realities.

In the world we live in today, it is extremely similar to Orwell’s prediction of 1984. He predicted

Such statement gives mixed messages suggesting happiness yet weariness about the future. Susan Snyder has cited the same irony in Othello’s statement

Bair`s best moral theory she says has to be a cooperative product of women and men to harmonize justice and care, and i totally agree. In order to reach equality between both genders we must remove labels from domestic tasks. We need to have wide acceptance of the equal duty of men to perform tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Many believe that these tasks are mutually exclusive to women, but they aren`t, men have the same capabilities if not more to do these tasks. Women can also perform domestic tasks that are typically done by men like taking out the trash, fixing things around the house and/or be the bread winner for the family. Women also have the same capabilities if not more to do these tasks. By pointing
