An Argumentative Informal Composition on Mullah Ever dream of having your pockets full of cash or swimming in a pool of green backs? Well, dream on unless you're an adult. It is pretty obvious that teenagers are far off from having our hands full of cash because of lack of experience in money matters, tendency to waste it on unpractical things, and the possibility of getting taken advantage of or robbed by a much more mature adult. Adolescents clearly have much to learn on how to manage resources. It is not enough for a teen to take economics class and then become the president of the International Monetary Fund! It takes years of experience and studies until they are able to have the capacity to be responsible enough to handle a lot of money. Take myself, for example. I do not know why, but I have the gift of losing 500 bucks in one day without realizing where it went to! "Geez!" my dad would exclaim, "It couldn't have just flew off and bought itself a nifty new leather wallet!" But to add insult to injury, I retort, "Why not?" But I knew he was right. Only time will tell when teens, like me, will be trustworthy to handle huge sums of money. The most likely thing to happen though is for teenagers to piss all their money away on useless things. In J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in The Rye Holden Caulfield, the narrator of the story is found to be a real spendthrift. He starts out with a lot of cash from his crazy rich aunty, who loves doling out cash, and ends up bankrupting himself by pissing it all away on a hotel even though he could have just gone home, on a cab when he could have just walked, in a bar where minors like he should not go to, a prostitute whom he did not even touch, and on a movie with a person whom he would eventually lose. Wow. Now he is the best example of a typical teenager
The Gullah is a community that lives in the coastal parts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia where they fish and farm. The ancestors of the Gullah trace back to Charleston, South Carolina, where there was a port for the Atlantic Slave trade, which was the most commonly used port in North America. Gullah is “more than simply the language and name of a people. It encompasses the essence of struggle, spirituality, perseverance and tradition” (South Carolina Business and Industry). Their relatives are West Africans who suffered many hardships and are honored and remembered by a rare preservation of African culture that the Gullah keeps alive. The Gullah truly live by the meaningful words that “If you don’t know where you’re going, you should know where you came from” (U.S. Department of State). They use African names, carry on African folktales, and create African craftwork. The Gullah have been able to maintain their African heritage because they are secluded from other influences because of the isolation of the Sea Islands.

The Arab and Islamic Empire made some of the greatest contributions to the world during its reign. During a time when Europe was in the midst of the Middle Ages was cut off from the rest of the world, the Arab Empire flourished with trade and intermingling. As Christian Europeans struggled to reclaim Jerusalem for themselves with the Crusades, the Muslims’ vast territory not only housed Jerusalem, but Mecca, and land as far as Cordova, Spain. Where European Medieval doctors were untrained and performed numerous amputations, and leeching, Islamic doctors studied and practiced advanced medical treatments. The Muslims made great contributions to education, science, and trade alike. The Muslims were able to make contributions that impacted the
The hijab, while not always popular, has seem to be customary for most women to wear in the Islam world for good or for bad. Prior to the 21st century the hijab was not very popular and was looked as a rarity, but now most women adopted this clothing choice for a multitude of reasons. Many women choose to wear it because they feel god instructed women to wear it, to highlight modesty, to show faith in god, or to show Muslim identity. There are many reasons women wear the hijab, even if the veil is forced upon them because of family members; However, the sight of the veil concerns many women activists whose main priority is to insure equality for all women. Many women activists don’t like the veil to be forced upon women and the idea
Michael Troquier’s prezi resume is a really unique idea, but the resume seemed too long. Micheal tried to make the resume fun and entertaining, but it was too long and time consuming. Adding a comic was a cool way to discuss the project, and helped better understand the project. The comic was very informative and helped draw the viewer's attention, but it did not see too professional. Overall, the resume was really informative and easy to read.
“Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.
“After researching several years in in El Cajon English teacher Juliet Ellery was finally fired”. Before the research she was announced to be unsuited to teach but due to her teacher tenure, parents and school officials were unable to do anything. But it took eight years and more than $300,000 for the district to win its case.The reason behind Ellery not being fired on the first place was due to the advantages of her teacher tenure. Teacher tenure is compelling students to study under a bad teacher who does not have skill set to teach well and he/she still will be in job because of the tenure. Despite giving security to teachers,teacher tenure must go through a massive reform so that the good teachers will still there without any complication Not to forget teachers like Ellery hardly ever lectured, gave baffling assignments, belittled students and ignored repeated efforts by the high school principal to get her to improve. However, like what happened with Juliet Ellery, who was defended despite having over 400 evidences against her, there are many cases similar where teachers who need to be sack are protected by teacher tenure.
sounds like you are going to have one awesome informative essay. I would like to think of myself as a person who enjoys his beer, but never tried to make any myself.

Guha described in his article that only middle to upper class individuals care about environmental problems occurring. This can be because money that impoverished people have need to go towards food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities, not environmental movements. Although, maintaining the environment, in my opinion, is essential to human existence. Humans should not want to live in a place where the smog chokes a person when they walk outside. Therefore, to learn from Guha, more programs to help and improve environments in areas that are poor are necessary. This could also lead to better health conditions for individuals, as smog and other problems can affect people negatively.
“There’s no one here yet and the floor’s completely engulfed, we’re on the floor and we can’t breathe.” Those were the words of people who died on September 11TH. For many years, Arab and Arab-Americans are one of the most stereotyped in America. Many of these stereotypes have been created by events that have happened throughout history. Stereotypes are an image of a particular type of person or thing. Events in history, such as the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Patriot act, and the Iranian hostage crisis, have perpetuated a negative image for Arabs in America.
In his book ' 'The Prophet’s Methods of Correcting People’s Mistakes ' ' Muhammed Al-Munajjid explins for readers the prophet Muhammed ways of correcting people’s mistakes, and he emphasizes the importance of learning about Islam for muslims. Muhammad Almunajjid is a sunni sheikh from Saudi Arabia, he counts on the salfi group sheikhs. Muslims follow their prophet in every thing, and their second source after Quran is sunnah which is the prophet own life- example as Ayoub mentioned. However, the author mentioned some points to be noted when dealing with people, such as confirmed the importance of sincerity towards Allah, and he emphasized on two of the prophet’s method in correcting people’s mistakes which are explaining the ruling (hukm)
Judiasm, Christianity, Islam.. are all examples of what? Religion. It is easy for us to come to the conclusion that religion is the leading cause of most conflicts that have taken place or are taking place even today. This is not entirely true. Yes some aspects surrounding religion have played a role in some of the previous historical warfare’s and the most recent flare of modern day terrorism. But think about it... Is it religion itself that causes these conflicts or is it certain people’s interpretations of it that lead to these violent outcomes? Though many would prefer to solely blame religion, other non religious factors have further influenced these as well. As humans we always have to find an answer as to why these events take place and religion seems to be a fallback in providing us with this solution.
Fear, instilled into our brains through violence and driven by a leader with a purpose. The rise of Islam is driven by fear, whether it be the fear of damnation through the divine or by the violence others bestow upon us. Gordon says, “History has shown repeatedly that ideas can provide powerful motivation for extraordinary deeds.” (11) Muslims are masters of using this fear/violence to make their religion dominant; Muhammad’s use of violence to spread the Muslim religion, how Muslim diplomacy leads to violence, and how it shaped our modern day views on the Muslim religion for the worse. In this paper, I want to show why the use of fear along with Muslim violence made Islam grow and expand at such a rapid rate.
Social media refers to interaction among people in which they create, share and exchange information and ideas within virtual communities and networks. The internet has provided our world with a different means of communication and it is available to anyone at any time at the touch of our fingertips. Today's technology has created easier accessibility through all mobile phones, no longer needing a computer to access social networking sites as well as the disintegration of face to face communication. Furthermore, these privileges may offer an individual a sense of self and acceptance within themselves and peers. Although the use of social media can negatively impact a students education but it can also help shape individual identity as well as their own growth of ideas from the creation of blogs, podcasts, videos and gaming sites. In most areas of education, digital social media has been seen as degrading the critical thinking and listening skills of students.
Islamic Civilization has been built over the course of over 1300 years. Unlike many other civilization, its rise and spread can be attributed entirely to converts to Islam. It started as a religious movement but has become a historical entity, body of knowledge and a physical presence throughout the world. It is not same as an Islamic community, which can exist in a small neighborhood or spread across an entire geographical region. It is not the “Islamic world” which is current construct or label that is used to simplify a complex demographic. It is a world civilization that defies convenient labels or stereotypes. It is concrete, and stands in defiance against what Bauman calls
