They will no longer be inexpedient, everybody will feel safe. Crime will go down because they will not be fighting each other over the penny that a 40 year old mother of Mexican descent accidently dropped. During the course of one…
When you think of a mosquito, you think of an annoying pest, or an insect that ruins picnics. In the short essay “The Mosquito,” by Stephen Leacock, the mosquito is used to satirize someone else’s thoughts/ideas. This satiric essay is an excerpt from the book On the Front Life of Life: Stephen Leacock: Memories and Reflections, 1935-1944. Leacock focuses on the mosquito and uses it to mock/criticize Vilhjalmar Stefansson thoughts. This essay contains some humorous and satiric elements which makes this essay an excellent and effective example of satire.…
Obesity is a major epidemic in America. American’s are known for their obsession with food. At church last Sunday, the pastor was preaching on the topic of “fasting”. Fasting would be defined as the abstinence from eating certain or all foods in an effort to rely solely on God for inner strength. The pastor talked about how we as Americans are constantly looking for our next meal. We are always anticipating when and what we are going to eat. We even schedule our entire days around mealtime. Americans are essentially obsessed with food. In an effort to change this aspect of our culture, I have devised a three-part plan.…
Satire is typically intended to be comical although its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon and as a tool to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. In particular it aims to expose its audience to the nature of the political atmosphere by exploring the trivial and self-serving nature of governmental objectives. Rob Sitch’s television programme The Hollowmen ironically depicts the shallow values of contemporary Australian politics that appear to altruistically appease the stipulations of individuals and society. While The Ambassador reveals the skewed, self-serving nature of politics, Rear Vision conveys the duplicitous, impressionable practicality that overwhelms the proper political process. Similarly Reitman’s movie Thank You For Smoking controversial issues are brought to light, the way smoking is perceived in and by society as well as the inner workings of the government and how their authority and decisions can be swayed or negated by large corporations with smooth talking lobbyists. Stich and Reitman through there works both incite an awareness about issues crippling society by satirising governments and politicians, as well the impressionable, unthinking general public.…
Going back to the 1700's when America was in the process of becoming America, smoking has always been present. Now in present day America, walking down the streets of any town, or road, you see and smell the awful and thick smell of tobacco smoke. 9 out of 10 times you are guaranteed to find an old cigarette on the ground. Attempts to better this issue have been made of course. Gruesome commercials tell the terrible consequences of smoking on the body, taxes have been raised on them, but people continue to smoke. But there still are the good citizens of this country who do not have this awful habit and are free from those horrific consequences of smoking right? Although considering the problem of second-hand smoking many of those "non-smokers" are still affected. I think it is agreed by society as a whole that this problem must be fixed at once. Here I will provide two intelligent solutions to this problem that I have come up with being only a innocent bystander.…
Today’s society is faced with the continually growing problem of electronics and social media. What used to be considered a precious treasure is now the cause of teenage obesity, lack of concentration, inadequate communication, and above all a far less intellectual society. Cell phones, internet, video games, television all have taken over the youth in society and corrupted them into unimaginative, unqualified, dull robots. Facebook is merely a tool to drain the intelligence from teenagers until they are forced to speak in instant messaging jargon- LOL, OMG, TTYL.…
Pop culture has recently become obsessed with trying to provide clean drinking water to those who do not have it. This is a pathetic issue to choose to fix. These poor people are a waste of space and need to learn how to fix their own problems instead of turning to the reach to fix them. Do you think the rich got rich by relying on other people? No. They found easy solutions to their difficult problems.…
Why do we breathe? To stay alive of course. The main substance that we benefit from breathing is oxygen which is necessary for the body, the heart, the brain and the blood. Without enough oxygen, we don't live long, hence the reason behind breathing! In general, everyone has a pet peeve, some people get irritated by wearing underwear; others get bothered by taking a shower; and, many other strange irritating quirks that may seem absolutely normal to one person but be extremely infuriating to someone else. You know what irritates me?! Get ready for this.. Nothing irritates me more than people who breathe loudly, as if they just ran a 15 kilometer marathon. Breathing is not a difficult process, all you need to do is inhale and exhale oxygen again and again. It's not algebra; it's breathing! So why in the name of God do people have to breathe so loud? Like seriously!…
Forgiveness by the World English Dictionary is the “act of forgiving; state of being forgiven, disposition or willingness to forgive”. But what does it really mean? That is my question. Is being able to forgive and not forget the same thing? In my life, I have found that true forgiveness is a quality that separates us from other species and it is what makes us human. In order to truly and sincerely forgive, one must, aside from saying they have forgiven the person, let it go and not hold a grudge against that person. Just, as Mahatma Gandhi once said: “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." I believe that holds to be true.…

Humor is the act of saying something funny and bringing laughter to others when doing so. Humor acts as a catalyst of what people think but will not say. Humor is a part of life. Humor is a necessity for free speech and free thought for that matter. Humor can be divided into various sub sections from cartoonist, stand-up comics, satirical writers, and hosts of television programs- just to name a few, as de Botton states.…

It is an unremarkable object to those, who walk down streets and dwell outdoors. They see people, maybe groups of two or three, with cigarettes between each their fingers, chatting about anything that comes to mind. These smokers, while carrying on ordinary conversation, are not aware that they are putting carcinogens and chemicals into their bodies with each breath… and others around them too.…
