Halo Effect
What if I have a time machine? A time machine for me is not a realistic dream because it is only happened in movies and bed time story. But what would people do when they have a time machine that magically appeared for them to use in their life? Most of them would try to go back to their past and stop to do things which is not appropriate and it leads them to make bad decision.
Come back to me, if I have a time machine, I would like to go future

The main characters in the story, Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, plan to travel into the future. It's too long to explain here. Google it. Anyway, one main theme of this trilogy is that when you change one thing (even something insignificant) in the past, it can dramatically alter the future.

That got me thinking, what if we could travel into the past and change events, should we? Sure, we'd probably like to stop ourselves from doing some things, maybe even if the things we did seem insignificant to the rest of the world. Still, even in our own lives, if one part of our lives went differently, it could have unforeseen consequences.

In your own life, would you try to stop a marriage? Prevent a pregnancy? Stop yourself from ruining a friendship or a relationship? Would you, as Darth Vader did, try to prevent someone from dying? Be careful, though. You could even, accidentally I would hope, meddle so much that you don't exist anymore in the present.

Would you go back to your most embarrassing moment and change it? Would you make different relationship decisions? Would you go back and cheat on a test (or stop yourself from doing it)? Would you change a major decision in your life?

Would you travel back in time to assassinate Hitler to stop the Holocaust? Would you try to warn the government about 9/11? Would you try to prevent JFK's assassination? Or Abraham Lincoln's? Would you go back a few hundred years, a few decades, or even back to Ancient Rome and Greece? Would you try to prevent deaths?

    However, by viewing the future, I would be able to find a more concrete realization of my desires, both for myself and for the world I live in. I would learn more from one day, 2000 years from now, then I could glean in the months it would take to visit the locations listed in my blue notebook. Visiting the 41st century would allow me to gain knowledge that is inaccessible in my time. I could access technology far advanced past what is currently available, hear songs that have yet to be written and experience a culture that does not yet exist. The mistakes made in a future society would help me understand the best way to change the world for the better. Ultimately, there could be no place more foreign, and no location I long more to understand, than the world that is to…

    The astonishing events and historical aspect that the Earth has lived throughout its history, not only for the physical Earth, but also for the human beings on it, have been very significant for mankind. Events like these are extremely unique and will mostly never happen again since society in the world is always changing. One extremely significant event that occurred in the late 1700’s that would be one of the most important aspects of history because it influenced many to do the same and to fight for their beliefs.

    One thing that poped out to me was in the halo effect video was when he was talking about how the media only take a story about Christianity or some other religion when something dramatic happens. Sometimes our world leaders and celebrity feel like they have to apologize for what they believe in. In the second video it talks about how there are many different religions and all of them with different congregations because of this what they do effects the rest of the world. The way they are doing that is because the love of thy name is used in there religion. religion has such a big effect without religion being at least 1.3 trillion dollar business would be gone. This proves that the effect of religion is not intangible but measurable. In the halo effect video emphasize on the fact that people need to understand what faith groups actually do which help and valinteering and not fro themselves but for society. Many people think that if these faith groups or congregation stopped doing charity or valenturing the government…

    George Santayana the spanish essayist once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” History is more than a study of things that has happened in the past it’s more on the decisions we as people make. From the choices, the results we get, and to the possible consequences everyone gets from the decisions they have made. People who learn the history learn an extreme amount of lessons and have a better chance of making better choices just by lessons we learned from the past.…

    Everybody in college hates papers. Students hate writing them so much that they buy, borrow, or steal them instead. Plagiarism is now so commonplace that if we flunked every kid who did it, we’d have a worse attrition rate than a MOOC. And on those rare occasions undergrads do deign to compose their own essays, said exegetic masterpieces usually take them all of half an hour at 4 a.m. to write, and consist accordingly of “arguments” that are at best tangentially related to the coursework, font-manipulated to meet the minimum required page-count. Oh, “attitudes about cultures have changed over time”? I’m so glad you let me know.…

    Every decision people make today has an impact and helps determine our future more than fate does. All the decisions that everyone choose to do make us the people we are today, but that does not mean that they have not regretted any of those decisions. For example, in one of William Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, the main character desires to become King of Scotland that he plans and commits treason towards Duncan, his king. In the moment it might have seemed to be a great plan, but the murder of the king torments Macbeth throughout the entire play and causes him to act in the worst ways. Though after the murder Macbeth starts to feel remorse for Duncan. He knows that if someone were to discover what his secret, he would be charged for treason.…

    What would you do if you saw your mother in danger and the only way to save her is breaking a law? Would I break the law to save a loved one? The books that we read to help answer the question were Anthem by Ayn Rand, “Emancipation Proclamation” by Abraham Lincoln, “Prometheus”, from Greek mythology “Critical thinking video” by Leo, and a Socratic seminar as a class. I would break the law for a loved one because they are my loved ones. This shows how much they are worth to me. It shows I care for them.…
