What is Worth Fighting for? What people fight for differs from person to person, it might be something as simple as who makes the best muffins, or it could be something as complex as world peace. Whatever it is that people fight for, it is not very often that these people will ever give up until they accomplish their goals. This is the basis for this essay, the small things, the big things, and why. When asked what do you think is worth fighting for, different people will give different responses, and then when asked what would cause them to stop fighting for that, the answers further differentiate. Nevertheless, there is always something that people will fight for, regardless of length or how difficult it is to defend. This fighting may cause …show more content…
It is not a matter of “if” it is a matter of “when.” People fight over little things, like a photo of a field trip in 3rd grade, and over big things like the liberty of a nation or people. People fight for many reasons, they think the cause is just, or they are too stubborn or too prideful to betray their morals and ideals. Some trick the enemy and gain the advantage for themselves and their side of the battle, some fight valiantly for their cause to the bitter end. Of all these topics, what drives and motivates people is the most difficult to describe, as what motivates one person to act may scare another into silence. People’s mentalities differ from person to person, and no one statement describes why certain people fight and others cower in silence and allow the enemy to trample them and their opinions. These are the people that do not realize that anything that can be fought over is worth fighting over; no one person or group has the moral right to spread their views over the entire world. So fight, and never give up, moral integrity is essential and you must defend
Many students who are enrolled in FFA are already heading in the right direction to a bright future. FFA has many career benefits within the program. Any of the career development events (CDE’s) have something that will tie to a career in agriculture or to a career of other sorts. According to the National FFA Organization, “FFA members embrace concepts taught in agricultural science classrooms nationwide, build valuable skills through hands-on experiential learning and each year demonstrate their proficiency in competitions based on real-world agricultural skills”(“Statistics”). There are so many careers that tie into FFA, and many of them have to do with agriculture. Not every career that has to do with agriculture is about farming. There are so many different aspects of the agriculture industry that many people never think twice about. Most people are not interested in agriculture because they think it is just about farming or
Do you comprehend what “glittering generalities” is? Glittering generalities is a vague word or phrase used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information to others. The type of advertisement EvoShield is using is glittering generalities. It’s a black background with a yellow EvoShield logo in the middle and right under it in capital white letters it states ¨Protective Gear For Elite Performance.” EvoShield used that advertisement to convince customers that their product is the best product out and they should buy it. “Protective Gear For Elite Performance” states that EvoShield’s gear/equipment will improve performance and limit errors that you or other equipment will commit.
While both black and white people fought over segregation versus desegregation, black people defended their freedom and civil rights while white people focused on isolating black people and treating them as under classed.
Why should I go to college? That is a question that many people all over the US are asking themselves right now. Why waste four years of your life to go do the one thing that you have been waiting twelve years to get out of? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to go to college. College is one of the most important personal investments someone make. College has numerous benefits. Want a better job? Go to college. Want to make more money? Go to college. Want better benefits? Go to college. College is also beneficial in many more ways than just academic. Want to be a healthier, more active person? Go to college. Want to be more mature? Go to college. Get the gist? Yes the price tag looks like a ripoff. Yes it will be hard to graduate. Many long hours of studying and doing homework. The rewards of it though, should certainly cover the high price tag, and your precious brainpower, even if it is just for the experience. The extra money that can be made with a college degree will cover the cost tenfold, and the experience will make you a much healthier, more mature person. It becomes clear that the question isn't why go to college. The real question is why not?
If a person being accused of a crime has a legitimate reason for committing the act then justification can be used as a defense in a prosecution for a criminal offense. A person is not criminally liable when their offense is justified. Examples of justification defenses include self-defense, defense of others, defense of necessity, and mistake of fact. Justification defenses are fact-driven that require the jury to decide whether the defendant 's actions were (Davenport, p 244)
The ideas of freedom and good are closely related. Freedom is the idea of being free or at peace instead of being trapped or unable to live as you choose. Good is something that is right or proper. Without the concept of good, there would not be freedom, a fundamental, universal right.
In this year of 2015, many people think racism is non existent. The President Barack Obama is black. There are black musicians such as, Beyonce and Jay Z dominating the charts. Some may even say there is no reason for The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Times have changed in many ways however, the presumption that racism ended is completely wrong. The presumption that America is an equal and accepting country is false. In American history, there have been triumphs against inequality. With these triumphs the country has gone into a slumber. The thought of change is the thought of ignorance.
As I worked with younger children for several years, I try whenever possible, to be an advocate on their part to help them get the most enriching educational experience they can to better prepare them to enter the school system. Over the past years of working at the child development center on Katterbach Kaserne in Germany, I quickly worked my way from a program assistant, who perform entry level tasks such as changing diapers and cleaning, to a lead with my own classroom, the lead oversees all aspects of the class room from the children’s curriculum to room layouts and the training of other teachers in the room. I feel I was able to rise to this position so quickly due to my understanding of needs of children in this age group as well as the confidence to lead staff implement my high standards. In the process of doing so I have gathered information from a majority of employees at the center regarding concerns and difficulties they have and what, collectively, we teachers think would be the best solution: reorganizing age groups of classrooms to elevate the children’s education as well as our safety implementations. I then elected to write an intelligent, irrefutable essay using my understanding of argumentative writing to the director of the CDC. The work that resulted is proof of my knowledge and intellectual capacity to effectively execute a paper maintaining the standards of college level composition and rhetoric.
In the schoolyard, a match of tug of war has ensued. Each side’s participants have desperately clenched onto the rope, gained as much footing as possible, and every muscle in their bodies are clenched. When one seems to gain ground, the other begins to pull back even harder striving to prove they are the strongest. In life many situations can be found back in the roots of that schoolyard, one side grimacing at the other because they are not apart of what they call acceptable. In the world of organ transplants and donations, the same tug of war match is underway. Both sides are pulling with all of their might. The thoughts of since the organ did not originate in the body of the recipient it does not belong there, that religious views conflict with whether to give or not, and that there is great success and appreciation of those who have received an organ transplant from a viable donor seems to strengthen the grip on their belief. Each
The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, teaches us that fighting has never been, and never will be, justified. There are many people that fight for fun, or to feel powerful. Maybe both. However, other people often fight out of self-defense. Whilst that is a good reason to fight in a sense, they shouldn’t need to fight. Often it turns to habit if they’re forced to fight for a long time. People fight far too often, whether it’s for fun like Randy before Bob’s death, for defense like Johnny, or simply because they do, like with Ponyboy, it isn’t good and doesn’t solve anything.
Most people aren’t familiar with ways our government is trying to lower health care costs of the homeless by putting them in houses, here is their chance to learn. “Housing First” approaches are aimed at reducing the number of homeless people in metropolitan cities, especially in USA and Canada. In Tulsa, the Mental Health Association operates housing models that are successful using the Housing First approach, but only with a success rate of around nine percent. These programs are able to help people achieve self-sufficiency. Special consideration is given to people who have mental illnesses. The main advantage of the approach is it makes an efficient use of the existing systems and services, and then eliminates the need for new ones. The approach has been said to lead to better quality of life, less alcohol and substance use among the beneficiaries, and less use of emergency services by the beneficiaries. Despite all of the advantages and purposes, the program has many challenges that make one think it’s not as successful as first projected. This could lead to program loss or the challenges being dealt with appropriately. If the government wants to use money to help end homelessness, they should put it towards resources and organizations that can, not towards homes where the homeless go to be ignored.
Sometimes students question themselves if college is really worth it? That question has many answers that only a student can answer and decide for him or herself. For some students college can have a positive, life-long outcome. However, there are many obstacles when it comes to college. A student has to be very dedicated in school, and they have to know how to manage their personal life, school and work. College seems like it has more negative effects than it does positive for some people. For the following reasons college is not worth the cost because it is very difficult to find jobs after graduating or they find a job that is not in their field, some students who are not academically prepared wind up dropping out of school and wasting their money and some students struggle to balance school life, personal life and work life. As a result these students end up dropping out of school.
Is college really as valuable as everyone makes it out to be? College opens up various pathways to a successful future, if not a gateway into the middle class. With selective choices, college can be beneficial. Although it does depend on career choice and a major, one may find it certainly worth it.
The passion for the game and the aspiration to compete has brought athletes to the intensity of intercollegiate sports. The industry of college athletics started as a chance to have a hobby outside of school. Playing a sport was always for recreational reasons back in the late eighteen hundreds until the mid nineteen hundreds when athletics more serious. The level of competition and the urge to be better than everyone created a game that grabbed attention from society. In order to keep control on how intercollegiate sports progressed in the early nineteen hundreds, the National Collegiate Athletic Association was created. Now that athletes and how the sports are being played has changed drastically, problems within the laws and regulations of the NCAA have risen. College sports has become more than a hobby, contracts are involved, there are millions of viewers, and billions of dollars being made off the athletes. The complexity of the NCAA and the issue of why college athletes should be paid or not paid, gives many people the purpose to research and find a solution for both the hard working, exploited athletes, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. NCAA Division I Athletes should receive another type of compensation other than an athletic scholarship by allowing endorsement payments, should receive valuable medical coverage, and be expected to either graduate or excel during the academic year by allowing more time to concentrate on academics .
“Small acts when multiplied by millions can transform the world” (Common Dreams). This quote by Howard Zinn can be interpreted by implying that as long as everyone tries within their reach to help every situation that they can, then the world shall be a better place. This means that small measures may not seem to be making a huge difference but when those actions are multiplied by or totaled to the actions being performed by all; then a huge and significant impac...
