We Screwed Up Analysis

The number of wild animals on Earth has halved in the past 40 years . Creatures across the land, rivers, and the seas are destroyed as humans killed them for food in unsuitable numbers, while polluting or destroying their habitats.

When you associate words like shameless with everyday life you don’t think of it being a television show, one may think of shameless as a negative adjective used to describe a person showing a lack of shame, but it's a comedy/drama television show that really digs deep into real life scenarios and shows how a true dysfunctional family lives in the “hood” of Chicago. Shameless details how much leadership and mental stability Fiona Gallagher has to have in order to run a family of six in her early twenties.

I disagree with Lauren Slater’s theory that throughout a person's life, one will only surround themselves with ideas and people similar to their own because, it is easy to see that people enjoy controversy and over the course of our lives, our beliefs and ideas can change.

In Charles O. Jones' essay "It Ain't Broke", the author counters those who critique the American system of separated powers. He argues that having such a system is useful in preventing the passing of legislation that hadn't been debated enough to predict its consequences. Jones has high confidence that the current system of government will almost always find a way to succeed, and that divided governments accomplish equally as much reform as unified governments. However, in the case of the politics leading up to the passing of President Obama's Affordable Care Act, his theories are disproved.

Broadway High School is the first commissioned High School for blacks in Indiana. It was located in downtown Madison Indiana between fourth and fifth street. It was originally going to to be 416 West Street but never used because of the closeness to Madison’s main shopping strip downtown. In All We Had Was Each Other: The Black Community of Madison, Indiana by Don Wallis, local Bill Guess talks about going to Broadway High School. He talks about how proud he and his fellow students were proud of the excellent education they received from Broadway school despite other people and even the principal of Madison High School at the time saying that they couldn’t learn and that Broadway was not a real school. Guess talks a lot about playing basketball

The second’s week reading the “All that trouble down there” by James Dunkerley tells how the US media represented Central America during the conflict times these countries faced. Most of the history of Central America were told by US journalist. Since, most Americans didn’t know what was happening in Central America and the Caribbean. When the US films show the border, it represents it as a margin, a ___ of civilization. This representation was being seen for a very long time, and there is a belief that Latin America is not or can be as good as the United States.

As a newly graduated journalist, Ben Woodward, from a third generation Cairns family, contributed in the latter part of the 90s and early in the new century used his considerable talent with words to inform the LGBT community and the general public about the latest gigs, and artists to listen to and look out for. His great interest in music helped to nourish his passion as a DJ.

What can we do to stop this disaster from taking place? One vital step is replacing the fear of many animals that people have with respect. Most predatory animals that have gone extinct in the last few centuries died because people were too afraid to try to understand and coexist with them (“Habitat Loss”). In reality, it is quite simple to live near a “dangerous” animal if you merely bother to learn a little about them. For example, I have been helping my father catch and rescue terrifying crocodiles since I was nine years old (Pettinger). He never feared for my safety because I respected the crocodiles and I knew how to handle them (Pettinger). I was once quoted saying “Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I 've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn 't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous” (Anderson). I hope to show the world through quotes like this and my actions on “The Crocodile Hunter” that crocodiles, snakes, and every other “dangerous” animal can be safely handled if you learn to respect them. Another major step to preserving nature is to stop or even reverse the loss of habitat the planet faces every day. I have often said “I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that 's habitat destruction.” (“Steve Irwin Quotes”) This is because we are rapidly running out of room on our planet for ourselves, never mind all the animals who also

There many disease flying on the air and some of those disease are incurable. Imagine being in pain for days without hope of resolving the issues. A person in pain would be relive if he/ or she can commit suicide.The problem is, terminally ill patients are in stress of dying. Does patients should be allowed to commit suicide because of pain?. How does family of patients cope with stress of paying bills? If the illed person did not commit suicide what will the side effects of medicines and treatments do to his body. What we must understand is that terminally ill people are in pain and don’t have the option to end their own suffering by committing suicide. By not giving them the option to die, we are installing their suffering and death. Person terminally ill should be able to decide when to end their own life

Failure is a scary word. It’s a scary topic, and a scary feeling for many of us. We tend to focus more on not failing that we lose track of what were really aiming for; success. In Mistakes Were Made by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson, we get an insight on why the gap between Asian and American classroom performance are so wide.

     This should act as a rude awakening to us. The planet could be considered a large Easter Island. We have a potentially non-sustainable eco system. If we are not careful, we could go the same way as the inhabitants of the island. It is possible for us to use up everything so there is nothing left for our children to use. If we look at our progression over the last 300 years that we have inhabited North America, we will notice that we have removed many natural resources. Trees in the Northwest, plains in the Midwest, the marshes of Florida, all of which have been devastated by humans in the past centuries. Our great grandparents did not notice the destruction, nor will I ever be

“The planet was being destroyed by manufacturing processes, and what was being manufactured was lousy, by and large.”

O’Brien uses point of view to convey his feelings of remorse in order to show that war is traumatizing. He is the most sensitive to the situation. "The star-shaped hole was red and yellow. The yellow part seemed to be getting wider, spreading out at the center of the star (pg. 126)." O'Brien allows the readers to see that he has remorse about how he took action to stop the Vietnamese soldier as he thinks repetitively about the attack. Additionally, he is also shown as the character that observes and rarely really talks, signifying guilt and shame. Azar is a little more brash and insensitive towards O’Brien’s reaction to the kill. “Oh, man, you fuckin’ trashed the fucker” (125). Azar is the soldier that is there to complete the mission and does

He says “So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet,

Have you ever thought of a world without animals? I believe it would be really different. Animals are really all around us. You have animals who keep people company, animals that make people money, animals that provide humans with food, and so much more. The problem that is happening in the world is that we are losing certain species. The causes of that is both from natural causes and human fault. One of the natural extinction causes is climatic heating and cooling (University of Wisconsin Eau Claire). The Earth isn’t able to keep up with the quick changes in climate and temperature. This affects the animals by not being able to last in the severe weather conditions and drawn out weather seasons. It doesn’t help when their surroundings get changed. It makes it very hard for the surviving animals to find food as other species die off. The second cause is changes in sea levels. The denser, saltier water sinks and forms the currents that marine life depends on. Ocean floor spreading and rising also affects sea level. A third cause is one that doesn’t happen often, but can be harmful: asteroids and cosmic radiation. Asteroids that hit the Earth do a lot of damage. The effects can be seen and felt throughout the world. This can easily destroy habitats. Cosmic radiation can be best described as, “radiation being emitted from outer space and the sun” (University of Wisconsin Eau Claire). Too much exposure to radiation can cause mutated genes. As time goes on,
