Among The Hidden Analysis
There are several similarities between China’s one child law and Among the Hidden. China had to put the one child law on because they had limited food. China can now have 2 children but it used to be one. In the book Among the Hidden you can have 2 children. In China if you have more than 2 children you have to pay a fine or the extra child is euthanized. They way that some people avoid this in China is that they are rich and they can pay the fine. In Among the Hidden the Barons pay the fine or they get a fake I.D. In China the extra child doesn’t get an education or an I.D. If they don’t have an education they can’t get a job or have health care. In Among the Hidden they have to hide and they get no education, in conclusion I think that it

In each article it mentions being able to have two children. However, in China people were legally only allowed to have one child. In the story ‘Among the Hidden’ if you had more than two children, any more children you had (third child, fourth child, etc.) they would be taken away and you would be punished for defying the government.…

    In “Hidden Intellectualism” composed by Gerald Graff, Graff argues how sports play a big part in the intellectual world because they contain components ranging from debates to evaluations, to intellectual systems. He states how sports made him a more intellectual being, and how schools should consider sports intellectual. Gerald Graff’s arguments that sports build intellectualism are ineffective because he lacks outside arguments, and backup to make his argument more credible.…

    When someone is called intelligent, people automatically think of how book smart someone is. Book smart relates to how much information about math, science, and english a person knows. In Hidden Intellectualism, Graff brings up the idea that intelligence isn’t all about a scholarly form of thinking. “Everyone knows some young person who is impressively “street smart” but does poorly in school” is the first line of Graff’s essay (Graff 787). Nowadays, it is popular for a person to have the experience and knowledge for an everyday environment but lack knowledge in educational studies. A reasonable answer for this problem could be that schools aren’t tapping into subjects other than the worn out academics that quickly in-interest students.…

    It's a person's choice of which path they want to take in the future but without help they can choose the wrong path. As Dr. Seuss said in his poem" I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true and Hang-ups can happen to you." My Perspective is that careers is a very important course in high school because it helps students discover their skills and choose the right career. Careers will show kids how to create and do different aspects of getting a job and starting a career. It will let them explore the different opportunities for them in the future and educate them to choose the career best for them. In…

    For as long as I can remember, I have always had a hard time explaining my ethnicity to people. Telling an American that I am an Iraqi is like playing 9/11 and terrorism news clips in their heads. Living in a post 9/11 world, people assume that we Iraqis are radical terrorists, or at the very least someone to be pitied for our lack of rights in an oppressive culture. For this, I blame the media for instilling ignorance and lies into everyday American’s thoughts. American’s opinions are mainly formulated from what is exposed to them through news coverage and online media. For example, if one simply went onto CNN or any other news station…

Now she has to pay a fine likely to total 30,000 yuan ($4,760), roughly equal to her annual salary, for violating China's one-child policy.” This is the harsh reality of people in china that are choosing to have more children without falling into the criteria China’s government has set to allow having more children.

    The dispute between the foundation of intelligence and the reliability of IQ tests has always been a controversy in this modern society. The disparity over the understanding of intelligence has also led to much conflicts and struggles on how to measure one’s ability to acquire knowledge and reasoning. In Kevin Warwick’s “Into the Unknown,” he argues that instead of measuring intelligence in a single dimensional value, difference aspects like culture and values should be taken into considerations throughout the process. In “The Social Imagination,” James Flynn expresses a similar viewpoint on the study of intelligence, claiming that psychologists tend to overlook and underestimate the social contexts that could possibly alter the results of…
