We need more naïve idealists in our world! The more naïve idealists the better, and we should all try to make the world a little bit better, and increase, and we're all on a journey of just trying to get there. Arundhati Roy is an Indian writer, she said, "all we can do is fight specific wars in specific ways," so, you know, we're all trying to change the world, and with Gd's help, we're going to succeed, and our children are going to inherit a livable planet, and I try to maintain the faith, and I know that there's something bigger going on, and I'm just part of a much bigger plan that's happening here, and I'm in this incarnation here, and with the awareness that I have about the situation, and I stay positive by just trying to do what I can, because, whether I can change the world or not, time will tell, but at the end of the day, I can just put in my effort every day, wake up, have hope, try to do the best I can, try to be good to other people, be good to creation, to creatures, and hopefully the universe will reward my efforts.

I don't know what, OK, cool. - So I am like the earlier part of the Millennials, so I will share, as a fellow
Millennials are often portrayed as spoiled rich people who still rely heavily on their parents for everything. This makes them seem childish, and Matchar’s questionable usage of these terms nonetheless is an obvious jab at the poster minority. Millennials overall are hard working and put under more stress than their predecessors, and the ridicule they endure for their work is uncalled for. Therefore, the thesis’s major flaw almost entirely overshadows its main
“ First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” (Mahatma Gandhi). Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar. Throughout his life Gandhi helped those in need. He was taught that everyone and everything is holy. He married at the custom age of 19 and went to London to study law. The thing that helped Gandhi promote nonviolence is that he worked his entire life saying that violence didn’t change the way people acted. He lived his life saying that an eye for an eye only made the whole world blind. Gandhi’s nonviolent movement worked because he had something to prove and everyone else in the world agreed with him.
As Andres Tapia mentioned, “ To be young is to be experienced”. Millennials have a different perspective about how to success in life. Since millennials are born during this current era, they have an advantage over people that were born before. With the inclusion of technology, it is easier to learn and apply new knowledge than before. A good example is the “Apps”. It is only necessary to create an app that attracts the interest of many consumers to start making money. Finally, Millenials have the ability to adapt and evolve. Millenials are the representation of
In conclusion, the novel Brave New World cannot be considered a utopia as it greatly differs from being the perfect paradise desired by citizens. As shown through the limitation on evolution by artificially creating humans, the elimination of feelings which causes conflict with the philosophy of the World State and the misuse of overwhelming power by the dictatorship, Brave New World is undeniably a dystopian society. In an attempt to make humans perfect, society ironically yet tragically removed humanity.

Poor Folk, a novel written by one of the greatest Russian authors, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, is a story about two second cousins, Varvara and Makar, who are gathered together by their unfortunate fate (“Poor Folk”). They write letters expressing affections towards one another and describe the happenings in their lives. Although they are cousins, Makar’s perception of Varvara is more like a distant lover than a relative. They continue this relationship until Mr. Bykov, a wealthy widower, proposes to Varvara, and she leaves Makar alone in his poor and desperate situation (“Poor Folk”). Although Poor Folk conforms to the Realist movement influenced by Hegel, Dostoyevsky creates a new stream in Realism. In addition, the novel is a depiction of the tensions between the optimism and pessimism in the character’s lives, and shows important social-humanistic impact.
The world today is full of war, conflicts and lack of peace.many nations are into wars for various reasons. If Gandhi 's principles could be upheld, the world could be a better place to live in. Gandhi firmly believed in the possibility of a predominantly peaceful society; he however asserts that a government cannot be entirely non-violent. The science of nonviolence can be a stepping-stone towards a pure democracy.
The clash of swords; the twang of bowstrings. The whistle of bullets. Bodies span the ages and litter the lands of the nations. Their blood cries from the ground upon which they fell, calling for vengeance on the governments and societies that so wronged them. This was the pattern that existed since the beginning of time, until the world met one man. With one mission. Now, there are generations upon generations that will never forget him. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” (“Mahatma Gandhi Quotes”). He admirably exemplified this in his own life and showed the world that peace is possible. Mahatma Gandhi rose from a world of intense social boundaries and taught the world that every person is equal.
In his May 2013 editorial for Time Magazine, “Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation,” Joel Stein explains his viewpoint on millennials, defined as people born 1980 through 2000. Using an occasionally humorous tone, Stein summarizes the typical bleak view that older people have for the younger generation, before offering what he believes is closer to the truth. In the end, he decides that while millennials are not without their flaws and vices, a lot of the fears that older people are mostly due to the advanced technology that we are now dealing with. By the end of the article, it is my opinion that Stein makes a very fair summarization and is correct in his idea that to write off the entire generation is unfair towards younger people.
There is a generation that is 80 million strong who is the start of a new millennium. The people of this generation are called the Millennials. Many think of them as closeminded, faulty and not fit to run the major cooperation’s of the world someday, yet the true identities of this group are just starting to be revealed. Millennials can easily and thoroughly understand the new advances in technologies. They are also the most diverse and open minded generation yet. They show a lot of potential and could someday change the world for the better. A writer for Time magazine, Joel Stein, does a wonderful job describing the millennials for who they truly are in his article “The New Greatest Generation.” While Stein agrees with Twenge in that millennials show faults, he maintains that their faults have potential to make them the next greatest generation. Despite the negative connotations millennials receive, they often have the ability to be resourceful with the technology, open-minded to the diversities the world displays and have a lot of potential.
Before going into the theatre “to see The Sound of Music for the third time” (35), Estha “[completes] his first adult assignment” (93). He goes to the bathroom on his own, while Ammu, Baby and Rahel accompany each other to the ladies room. This little detail about going to use the restroom foreshadows another instance where Estha will be forced from being a child into manhood.

“In the place where idealism and realism meet, that is where there is the greatest evolutionary tension.” Idealism prioritizes ideals, social reforms and morals, by wanting to benefit not just yourself, but the world around you, believing people are generally good. On the contrary, realism gives priority to national interest and security with emphasis on promoting one’s own power and influence by assuming that people are egocentric by nature. Based on the definitions stated above, idealism and realism are significantly different from each other and their divergence of thought is more apparent when various proponents of each such as Woodrow Wilson, Henry Lodge, Barack Obama and George W. Bush have varied outlooks on comparable issues in politics. Subsequently, an idealist’s reaction to a particular issue would be a lot different than a realist’s response. Therefore, idealism deals with normative ideas and allows for improvements in the progress of not only a single state, but the whole world, however realism solely focuses on the benefits of one’s own nation.
“The strongest physical force bends before moral force when used in the defense of truth.” - Mahatma Gandhi (Bondurant). Mahatma Gandhi was the main leader in helping India become independent through the principles of non violence, self-rule, and the unity of Hindus and Muslims. His full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, but he was given the name Mahatma later on in his life. He wanted to see an united India without the rule of the British Empire. He accomplished this with passive resistance or resistance by non violence because he wanted to show that violence is not always the best answer.
The end of imagination is an article by Arundhati Roy in which she criticises Indian government’s nuclear policies. Arundhati Roy is an Indian author and political activist who is best known for the 1998 Man Booker Prize for Fiction-winning novel The God of Small Things and for her involvement in human rights and environmental causes. This article was published in 1998 in response to India’s testing of nuclear weapon in Pokhran, Rajasthan. This article is a must read for those who think nuclear weapons are necessary for nation’s ‘safety’. She explains very clearly and very passionately about the dangers of using nuclear weapons in a war. There may be people who disagrees with the author’s views in this article, but it makes everyone think. She also takes on the reasons why India decided to build its nuclear arsenal. And none of those she believes are good enough to take such a risky step.
