Opposites Attract By Robert Epstein
Compatibility is a feeling you share with another person. You and your significant other should meet the qualities the other wants, share the same values, beliefs, dislikes, likes, etc. Robert Epstein, a psychologist, claims that: “People are sometimes attracted to like personalities and sometimes to different ones.” With that being said, compatibility helps love but isn't necessarily needed. The phrase “opposites attract” is a widespread belief held by young singles searching to find their perfect match. In the movies, the good girl always falls for the bad boy.

Living in small places without any ventilation, light, plumbing or a place where their children can play even sometimes exposed to get robbed, having a high risk of diseases and without fire escapes. In this photo taken by Jacob Riis for his book "How the other half lives" we can see how people that pay a cent to spend the night (the ones that can afford it because many of those people don't have the money to pay it) in those bedrooms with unsanitary conditions without any space to put…

    The Invisible Influence, By Jonah Berger

    Decisions are one of the most detrimental aspects of life. They range from what we do today to what we think of the newest trends. People always believe that their decisions are made at their own discretion, however, more often than not, the things we do are a result of the thoughts, actions, and ideas of the people around us. The effects of influence are everywhere, yet no one seems to notice. In the article “The Invisible Influence”, Jonah Berger discusses the positive and negative impacts it has on our lives. In the book Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card shows how easily children can be swayed by the environment they grow up in, which leads them to make skewed decisions, both good and bad. In both texts, the authors illustrate how the looming presence of influence drives many of our decisions in our daily lives.…

    Between The World And Me By Ta-Nehisi Coates

    Most of the American history serves a great deal of pride, acknowledgement, and importance to its culture. Spreading democracy and liberty all over the world yet forgetting some part of the history full of abusement, racisms, and evil. The novel, Between The World And Me, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is know for expressing black culture by writing novels, talks about some of this history. In his novel, he confesses all the fears filled in black Americans’ body in a letter that he writes to his fifteen year old son. When I first learned about the history of African Americans, I was shocked and I wanted to know even more about their culture and their backgrounds since, my culture is different from theirs. I was also disguised because American history was so cruel. One of the reasons that I took this class was also to learn more about African American culture. Ta-Nehisi Coates is also African American which helps the novel show his personal feelings and opinions…

    Separation And Exclusion, By Mary Bibb

    I found your response very enjoyable. I agree with you in saying that Mary Bibb faced many biases due to her race and sex and support your statement in saying that “one’s identity should not restrict or deny them from any opportunities.” I thought it was important that you addressed the issue of separation and exclusion, as the society was disregarding her accomplishments and making her seem invaluable due to her skin tone, sex and gender. Black children were also excluded/denied access to common schools and Mary Bibb wanted to change this, making sure that children of any skin colour could receive an education. Even though schools now accept students of various cultures/backgrounds/races, I find that within the classroom and schools, judgement,…
