The Future of Human Civilization

We call ourselves a civilized community, let’s recall that we as humans put thought into our lives, our culture, our actions although we don’t put much of this element towards our deeds, we see ourselves as good people and criticize others for such imperfections and mistakes. Now picture this, a person who accuses others, “Oh look at my new Lamborghini! Oh hey you see my dazzling art collection!” Yeah very stereotypical and irritating I hope you assume that my point is we don’t see our mistakes clearly but no matter what, we seek perfection among others AKA the constant mess of human civilization.

Everyone has a bad side, admit it we can think of anything and think of it as a positive or negative influence,

    255 Words  | 1 Pages

    The reality of life, is that we don't invite those from the other side. we don't go around asking other cultures or society how they do things. We believe that the way we live is the best, and we are to stubborn to admit that we are interested. We are curious of others do things, but we are also afraid. We are afraid to change.For example as James Belasco and Ralph Stayer Flight of the Buffalo (1994), so cleverly put it "Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."

  • Abigail Williams Dark Side

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    Everyone has a dark side that develops over their lifetime, each depending on life encounters. If no one had a dark side then there would be no crime, murder, or other criminal actions. Certain events can impact a person and how these things are perceived, and what information is retained from these events affects their developing dark side. How you are raised and the attitude that has been instilled in you by your guardians also affects your developing dark side. If you’re lacking a constitution or backbone, you’re more likely to develop a dark side. Also the environment we grow up in such as the schools we attend, the neighborhood we live in, and the media were surrounded by set the foundation for the type of people we’ll become.

  • Connecting The Tempest, Of Cannibals, Eating Gifted Children, and Modest Proposal

    628 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are several, in-depth connections presented in The Tempest by William Shakespeare, "Of Cannibals" by Michel de Montaigne, "How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children" by Lewis Frumkes, and "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. While all these stories feature civilization and the uncivilized coming into contact with one another, perhaps for the first time, they also feature a deeper connection. They feature a connection to each other that strikes to the very heart and structure of our civilizations today-just as it did when these works were written. That connection is the idea that the "noble savage" (if there is such a thing) is appalled at what we call civilization because of how unjust, uncaring, and unkind we are to one another. The works point out how the savage perhaps is just the innocent and we are the ones who ought to be called savages-not because of what our culture does, but what it does not do.

    At the start of the semester, my oblivious state of nature associating with the Chinese culture reached an unacceptable level. Implementing a necessary change, I decided to educate myself on different cultures starting with China. I failed to ponder that such a rich, deep culture existed outside America. Encompassed by this country’s unique yet suffocating melting pot culture, my outlook believed ideas such as uniformity between American Chinese food and Authentic Chinese food. After this course, my bigot perspective widened as I witnessed diversity in the world. Before this class, when I thought of Chinese food, my connotation jumped to thoughts associated with chop suey, but as I progressed my education, my mindset gradually pondered foods like steamed buns or “New Year Cakes” with authentic Chinese food.

    Human nature is quite perplexing. It has the surprising tendency to baffle you .Apart from the obvious dimensions that continue to shade the human behavior, this bafflement emanates from the inability of human beings to gauge the true profundity and worth of a particular thing or a situation in the absence of a palpable evidence. Call it a genetic malfunction or a psychological concern, till the time we do not see anything from our very own eyes, get to hear of it from reliable sources, or get to read of it in eminent literary works ,we fail to acknowledge the very occurrence of that episode, let alone endeavoring to understand it. This is how the dynamics of human attitudes and behavior has been since the very genesis of this world.

  • Essay About Entering College

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    Starting college is an intense and confusing event that plagues all recent high school graduates. It is like trying to run when all you can do is crawl, and for many freshmen, myself included, one can get easily overwhelmed by the daunting task of picking a major when less than two months ago some of our parents still packed our lunches for us every morning. The concept of entering college tends to be frequently skewed and expecting an eighteen year old to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives, without having them actually experiment in different areas, has the potential to create a generation of adults who are aggravated and depressed in their careers.
