Why People Use Words Like Bomb

My relationship with literature has evolved to a much deeper appreciation. As I sit and think who and what literature is, I found myself looking at how literature speaks to me, how it moves me, how it inspires me and how it makes me question my very creative pallet. Literature is something that reflects society, makes us think of ourselves and our social interaction. It allows us to enjoy the beauty and language that it speaks to us. Many of the pieces that I encountered this semester has really touched home for me.

Despite that students now use profanity in their public schools and even more out of school, this could cause more children and teens to use the offensive language around their peers.

Walking down a school hallway, one is guaranteed to hear slang being used by nearly all the students. This is because slang is one of the most popular forms of communication, especially among youth. However, there is much debate over whether slang should be banned in school. Banning slang is schools could have consequences and lead to separation among students. Slang should be allowed in schools because it is an easy and fun way for students to communicate with each other, it establishes commonality among students, and banning slang could potentially alienate students.

Why are people conforming to soctiety? In the article, "The Sociology of Leopard Man", by Logan Feys uses Tom Leppard as an example of both a conformist and non-conformist person. Tom Leppard also known as Leopard Man, is tattooed from head to toe, but he does not live among society. Instead he lives in the scottish wilderness, in a small and isolated cabin, away from people. In this article, Feys argues that some people change their appearance because they want attention. In my opinion, I agree with Feys when he argues that certain individuals change their appearance just to be notice by others around them. On the other hand, I disagree with the fact that Feys believes that all people change their appearance for the worst and not for the good.

The thought of fitting into what is considered to be normal made up by other people is stupid. This means everyone as a whole is living in a bunch of total lies. Living in what is called “normal” is the problem of this world. “The true self is associated with human spontaneity and authenticity: Only the True Self can be creative and only the True Self can feel real”(Yoshino 554). If everyone could just live the way they wanted to society would not have as many angry people. Everyone would be doing what they love with other people that love to do the samething. Although covering has such a negative effect on society it could have very minor things that could help it

There is also a type of language spoken in America that is widely discussed and often imitated throughout the world. It is American Slang. Depending on who you ask, some will say that slang is a result of English that was broken by slaves transported to America. Some will say that slang is a result of adolescents in America being rebellious towards their elders. Either way, there is a new form of slang added to each generation. As time passes, that slang becomes common and an acceptable (grammatically) part of the English language. In the 1930’s jazz musician Lester Young popularized the word “cool” and acknowledged it as a description for his music. During those times, any young person who used that word

Tell us about a concept or subject that intellectually excites you. Why does it interest you?

The two poems I chose to analyze were “Curandera” by Pat Mora and “Loose Woman” by Sandra Cisneros. They were an interesting read and made sure to reread several times to make sure I got everything I could from them. Both poems are so unique from other poems I have read; they are also unique from each other yet share similarities as well.

Slang is changing with the times, and every generation has its on lexicon of slang. From the 1920's, the word applesauce meant awesome and now like a boss means awesome. These are just two examples of how slang is changing as time goes on.

If you do decide to go to these websites, you will see how much the English language has changed in 95 years. Why does slang change? It changes because the current generation wants to be differ from the previous one. Every generation has some really annoying slang words. The 2000's generation has

There are multitude interesting topics that we went over this semester. A few really stood out to me and called for farther looking into like the important of realistic self-esteem, finding one’s self in early life, and understanding the important of both nature and nurture when raising children. The one idea that this course has reinforced is that happiness is important in all stages of life. This course has also made me realize the fundamental flaw in my writing like plugging APA citations, how to properly use research in my writing, and to leave myself the proper amount of time to proofread my papers.

If you had to take a survey on all of the teenagers of this year, how would you rate their cursing level, from 1-10? Mine would be ten. As almost every other word out of a teen's mouth is a cuss word, the shock value is dropping dramatically. Even elementary school children are cursing now. Every single country has its own set of swear words. In other, shorter terms, curse words create societies of evil and loss of innocence.

Rather, it is those people who are shy, retiring or may be insecure in their own identities that are most likely to want to change something about themselves to make them somehow more appealing to those around them, not realizing that very often

Therefore, many people out there choose to use what's in style such as makeup, clothes, hair, etc. rather than be who they are. People are frightened to take a stand and have a chance to be who they truly are. For example, A successful person got to where they are or were for being who they are. If someone were to follow them and try to be like that successful person they'll just be another copy. You have to be a leader and stand for what you believe in order to be successful in life. To be authentic is better

Ever heard about the misunderstood word bomb, the bomb that destroyed friendships, trust and destroyed me with some simple misunderstood words? Well I have and I was the inventor, but before I get into how this got created we need some background on the situation. Jessica was my best friend in seventh grade and eighth grade. We had so much in common we both lost loved ones in tragic ways, we wanted to be so much more and help others. We were inseparable until a boy came between us it is not a typical girl fight over a boy. I simply felt that she could do better. He was no good for her but I guess that was only my opinion. They soon broke up and I could not be happier because she did not have to deal with him anymore and I spread my happiness with my other “friends” but my words were misunderstood and the bomb exploded. My mother always told me to mind my own business when asked about others situations, I never paid attention to that and I learned that the hard way. Due to a misunderstanding of words about my friend’s ex-boyfriend I lost friends, trust and myself.

People make lots of sacrifices to fit in. Some sacrifices are getting plastic surgery. When people get Plastic Surgery it is because of pressure to look better. People also act dumber when they are trying to be more popular. People act stupid because being smarter than other people because smart isn’t cool. Some also stop being kind to their real friends to fit in with the more popular kids. They try to drive away their closest friends because they are not popular or cool. They do this fit in with the popular kids. Charlie the end, people do many things to fit in. For example, some get plastic surgery, act stupider, and drive away the people closest to them. They do these things to fit in and become more popular.
