Louie Zamperini, when asked what he would do if he had to go through his experiences again, replied that he would “kill himself”(page number). In fact, most of the people involved in any war end up hurt either physically or mentally. Louie Zamperini was captured in WWII by the Japanese and survived 2 years in captivity. In Louie’s story, the two emerging mental side effects caused by war are jealousy and anger. After the war, Louie felt much anger toward his captors. This overtook him, leaving him more injured than he was in the camps. In the camps, he had his defiance and his resiliency. When he got back, he could not resist the urge to drink, and he did not recover very quickly. In the book Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand conveys the fact that war is an extreme event that can have very negative effects on those involved.…

In this essay I will be talking about being popular and being an outsider. People think you have to be gorgeous/handsome, play sports, be preppie, or have money to be popular. Then,to be an outsider you don’t have nice cloths, you don’t have money, you don’t play sports, and you don’t have nice things. Well you don’t have to have all that stuff to be popular or not be an outsider. The way I see it everyone is the sameway just have different talents.…
Vegetarian diets affect the environment tremendously. For example, clear- felling will create more land to farm, but at the cost of an animals life . Australia has found that the production of all of these grain causes 25 time more unusable meat. Although the loss of animals in a particular area may not seem like a problem now, clear- felling is becoming more well know across the world. Australia is also having a huge problem with the amount of arable land. If the vegetarian diet become more common, the arable land will need to be heavily farmed. Which mean that the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other fertilizers will increase. Australia has also seen the effect of vegetarianism on the soil l. In order for the arable land to produce the…
Going back to my best year! Sophomore year was the year I had to get myself together and stop acting so amateur, it was the year I start acting like an adult. Therefore It was a great year for me. My sophomore year was not like other teenagers, I had many downfalls, but that didn't stop me from accomplishing my goals. Around this time I wanted to try a sport for the first time, so I tried out for the wrestling team, but they didn't work out so well. Sophomore year I didn't make any new friends, cause I don't like making new friends, it's just too much. My day one friends stayed the same, these are the people who have been through hell and back with me. I didn't learn how to drive my tenth grade year, because I was procrastinating. I was skipping school and getting into…
I don't like student led conferences, some of the good things about going to these are that my parents get to know how I am doing in school. Another is that they get to see some of the enviorments that we are learning in. My mom cares about that stuff because I have to study at home for church a lot and we have to go into a room that is not distracting. Also some of the reasons I don't like student led conferences is the time that we take to make the "portfolios" and we don't get more time to work on actual school work. Another reason why I don't like them is that we have to find a time to do the conference and we have a tight schedule at home so it is hard to find time for that. So in conclusion I don't like student led conferences because…
Out of proportional, regressive, progressive, lump-sum tax systems; to me, I feel like the proportional tax system is the best type. I am sure a lot of people would argue and say that it is not the best. They probably think that they are right in their mind, and that is okay. Proportional tax, is “a tax for which high-income and low-income taxpayers pay the same fraction of income.” The reason why I think proportional tax is the best, because fair is fair. The current tax system that the United States of American uses is progressive. Progressive tax is “a tax for which high-income taxpayers pay a larger fraction of their income than do low-income taxpayers” (Mankiw). The high in-come taxpayers pay more in total taxes and they pay a higher rate of taxes.…
I believe in respect. I believe that everyone should be treated fairly. I had a friend, well, I like to think I had a friend, who had the ability to make everything negative. She had the ability to make even the happiest person depressed. She was also very opinionated and and took down anyone and anything in her path. I have to give her credit, her opinion was always heard. But, that doesn't mean her opinion was always right. I would always try to tell her that something was wrong, or that she made someone feel bad, but she would never listen. She would just tell me that I was wrong and not her.…
Throughout high school, I’ve always heard that senior year would be the easiest, most fun year- the year when you could just lay back and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately, and though I know it is mostly by my own doing, I have not found it to be my easiest year at all. College, senior project, all on top of four AP classes have made senior year my most stressful yet. Though at this point I think the worst is over, it certainly has been one crazy autumn.…
It may be early, but prom seems to be on most high school students’ minds. Besides the promposals floating around, dresses are also capturing the attention of the girls. There’s one problem with the newer, most popular designs around the country. Some of them, maybe most of them, may not meet Groom’s conservative, vague standards about what is appropriate and what is not. Principal Stephen Vanderpool said it this way: “classy not trashy.” So, again who and how does administration define classy?…
According to Americans throughout US history, there are two groups of poor people, the deserving poor and the undeserving poor. Although both groups are poor, they are poor for very different reasons. On the one hand, the undeserving poor are poor because of the consequences of bad decisions or life choices. On the other hand, the deserving poor are poor not because of bad decisions but because it is not in their control. Although I do believe all poor people should be eligible to receive welfare or government assistance, anyone receiving welfare or government assistance should be required to seek employment, if they are able to work.…
Workplace professionalism is very important. Healthcare workers should get their job done right and efficiently. Discrimination cannot take place in the job environment. You should always treat others the way you wish to be treated. Regardless of their income, religion, culture or attitude. The patient’s privacy needs to be respected at all times. A patient’s file can only be open when it is needed or legal actions shall be taken. To keep in consideration, health providers must understand different cultures and diversity. It’s best to keep you opinions to yourself and not judge the patient. Communication is the key. Employees and patients should attempt to understand one another in order to lower the chances of being ethnocentric. If a patient…

And businesses have learned that they can draw upon our nation’s diversity to strengthen their bottom line.”(Kerby & Burns, 2012). Unfortunately, at times there can be occurrences of discrimination and sexism.…
