On the website womensportreport.com, there is sufficient evidence to prove some of the arguments presented by Muriah Burton Nelson’s argument. First, most pictures on the website show the female athletes smiling. Under the training section of the webpage there was a picture that caught my attention. It was a group of people, where the majority were females. They were exercising, laughing and having fun following their male instructor. This is what Newton was referring to when she said that female athletes cannot show any signs of competition. I believe that the website womenssportreport.com perpetuates traditional gender role. In addition, and of topic to the question, I thought most female fighters in the UFC were breaking that outdated traditional…

Wendell Berry, Scott Sanders, and Morgan Spurlock all take part in an unrealistic world to prove their points. They portray themselves as the perfect humans who live that idealistic life we all dream of. They do this by living simple lives, having a great deal of knowledge, and being in great shape. If you could combine these three I think you would have the perfect human. There are plenty of evident cases of this happening in their writings, or, in Spurlocks case, his movie. This causes some bias in their works. They provide these works however to show you that these ideas are not as far stretched as they seem. Spurlock, Sanders, and Berry go against the norms of society and the “establishment” in order to show why their ideal societies are better, and why you should work towards making them happen.…
On August 11, Logan Smith, a North Carolina man, was shaming and naming people on twitter. The people who he called out were in the Charlottesville white supremacy march. According to Smith, he believes that if racist people are no longer going to hide their identities, then they should be known to the public for who they are.…
This statement, “ Though Bradbury's topics are hardly true-to-life, they do carry with them themes that we can apply to our daily lives--courteousness, perseverance, flexibility, and self-awareness. These are some of the many lessons that parents and teachers hope to convey to children,” shows that others agree with what Bradbury wanted his audience to learn from his stories (“Ray(mond) (Douglas) Bradbury”). Bradbury had a fear of technology driven by how many people have phones today and how people rely on their, “Machines” to do the work for them. Technology is destroying the need for books and Bradbury does not like that. Even though he didn’t live past 2012, he saw how more and more people were getting phones and having internet. He didn’t like the idea of an electronic book and even for a while, he wouldn’t get his book published because he wouldn’t agree to having a version of the book being electronic. He constantly fantasized about how the future could easily be altered by humans destructive behavior. He mainly wrote about these science theories and ideas because he clearly enjoyed it. He even got awarded for his dedication to science fiction (“Ray(mond) (Douglas) Bradbury”).…
John and his three other siblings grew up in an incredibly religious home. Both of his parents were deep believers that America was God’s way to let Christ return to Earth, and slavery was the only thing preventing this. Growing up learning all of their beliefs, this eventually led him to believe that all of the crimes he was committing were okay, since this was God’s mission for him and his family. Brown’s mission began when he was just 12 years old, and witnessed a slave killed by his owner. It was this moment where he swore to himself that he would fight against slavery.…
The author’s opinion on the matter of technological advances differs greatly. Although they seem to agree that technology will end up wiping us out. Bradbury illustrates negativity in this theme. “And not one will know of the war, not one will care at last when it is done. No one would mind neither bird nor tree, if mankind perished utterly.” He thinks that technology will obliterate everything and everyone but nature will still go on. However, Benet is a bit more hopeful and believes that even after world has been destroyed by technology, there will be some people to rebuild and fix past mistakes. “They were men who were here before us. We must build again.”…
When you look around at the children of today, what do you see? Most likely, you see kids absorbed by cell phones, iPads, portable video games, and other electronic devices. How often, however, do you see a child consumed by a book? It’s probable that the occurrence of such is rare. More importantly, how often do you spend reading instead of allowing yourself to be overtaken by infectious and addicting technology? If you’re anything like the rest of today’s society, reading probably doesn’t make it to the top of your “to do” list. “…You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” As Ray Bradbury foreshadows, people are indeed slowly beginning to cease reading. I could not agree more with his opinion that putting an end to such will, in fact, destroy a culture.…
(AGG) have you ever felt that we over use technology or that it has unseen effects on the brain, well you're right and so where Ray Bradbury’s predictions about the future of technology.

Running, jumping, swimming, and throwing all these activities have one thing in similar that is the Olympics. What do you see? Do you see men and women in their top physique? What if I tell you a man with double leg amputee ran in the four hundred meter race. Runners faced off against Oscar Pistorius say they know when the “blade runner” is coming near on them from at the back. They hear a unique clicking noise getting louder, like a scissors slicing through the air. It's those legs, C-shaped, carbon-fiber legs and the fastest race times that come with them that have some people asking an unpopular question: Does the blade legs give him and advantage? Scientists are becoming tangled in questions over whether Pistorius should be allowed…
Her brothers tackle her in this way that makes her character somewhat suspicions. They take advantage of her ignorance. She awakes miserably at the night and “brood[s] o’er the luxury alone” (236), yet the description of the pain of Lorenzo’s absence as “luxury,” in spite of its greedy suggestions, changes the concept towards her. But Isabella is deeply changed by the event of losing Lorenzo, beyond her overdramatic luxury and she begins to live out between life and death (Heinzelman, 1988, p. 29). Keats describes the reality that Lorenzo is murdered by her own brothers:…
