Synthetic Life
“Synthetic”
By Rica Pepito (For Math 10 Lesson: Synthetic Division)

People nowadays are craving for things they like but some cannot afford and therefore would prefer the synthetic ones rather than the original items. Although pricing is a big deal, quality is a huge liability. This Louis Vuitton bag is so nice but bought one fourth of the original price and the store it was bought from does not have legal rights to sell those nor the item itself couldn’t last a week in terms of durability.

In friendship, synthetics are really bad. Sometimes what we think is right for us really isn’t. Yes, “fake friends” are there to be with you and go wherever you are. But do you think behind your back she respects you for who you truly are? I had a friend before whom I gave my full trust on, I shared my favorites with her but what really struck me was when rumors started that she was faking the whole time. I approached her and she told me that the rumors where true, she was only after my favorite things. Of course I forgave her but after that time, I had to make sure that my next best friends wouldn’t do that same thing to me again so I have to be very keen and make the right choices. At least for now, I am able to find new best friends whom always tell me the truth and would never back me down.

So much for friendship, another is in relationships. I really don’t know how to explain how awful synthetic relationships are but all I know is: synthetic relationships are the major causes of suicide, rape, murder, theft and abuses. So generally, we should stop synthetic things in life. We should be true to what we do and stay with what we believe is right. We should choose the right people to be with us in our journey in life. True friends and true love are hard to find but with perseverance and keenness, we are going to find these at the right

    William Deresiewicz makes compelling suggestions in his article "Faux Friendship." His ideas and modernized definitions on the truth behind the word "friend" makes a good argument though it is strictly through his perception and analysis. He demonstrates the idea that in this era we have changed how we perceive one another from the way it use to be. Deresiewicz uses a claim of value in his article, evaluating the diminishing bond of what we call a friend in today's society. He implies that the word is loosely used and has lost it's worth. When something is plentiful and everyone has many, the value of that item goes down. Just as the number of friends everyone has on Facebook has risen, those we call "friends" has extended to acquaintances, friend of a friend, or someone we would like to meet.…

    In a way it is our job to ensure that we find ways of communicating language needs, preferences can be quite wide ranging, someone may require an interpreter or signer or someone else may need communication to take place in a quite environment. When you meet an individual for the first time, it is important to establish how you will communicate and how they, and you, would like to be addressed. A good way to start is to introduce yourself and explain why you are there using a few simple words. If the…

    When friendships are dissolved, the consequences can be devastating. In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics - VIII – IX he explains how humans learn from one another, and that humans are innately social animals (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics - VIII – IX, 148-149). Friendships are required in life learn about values. Without friends, humans would not be able to learn such values from each other, nor will they be able to confide in each other. Having friends in life allow for the mutual growth of both parties. Rebecca Traister writes in her article “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love” her experiences with her friend Sara. Traister says, “In each other, we found respite, recognition, a shared eagerness to relax, take stock and talk about it all.” (Sara Traister, “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love, 1), going on to say this relationship was mutual where they benefited from each other’s company. As they both grew together over time, much like Aristotle suggests is the value of friendship. Humans life are not fulfilled unless friends are there to support each other. As Traister says, “For many women, friends are our primary partner through life” (Sara Traister, “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love, 5). In Traister’s case, the friendship she shares with Sara is a friendship of virtue.…

    Synthetic Biology?

    The environmental movement, addressed in "Rewilding North America" by Caroline Fraser, focuses on the negative outcomes of human activities in the environment. It is a movement that restores the environment that humans have damaged. Scientists have addressed the idea, in "A life of its own" by Michael Specter, of using synthetic biology to mend environmental issues. Synthetic biology combines the "elements of engineering, chemistry, computer science, and molecular biology…to assemble the biological tools necessary to redesign the living world" (Specter 364). There are both positive and negative impacts of a synthetic world on the environment movement. The environmental issues consist pollution, depletion of natural resources, extinction of endangered species, population, protection of natural areas, etc. Synthetic biology can aid some of these issues, but further deteriorate others as well. A way that synthetic biology could potentially enhance the environment is through the creation of "cheap drugs, clean fuels, and new organisms to siphon carbon dioxide from the atmosphere," but only "if the tools of synthetic biology succeeds" (Specter 265). However, some of the processes that the environmental movements undergo contradict with the ideals of synthetic biology. Therefore, moving towards a synthetic world will hinder some of the environmental movements on several issues such as, the usage of money, habitat and animals, nature, animal cruelty, but the anticipated benefits are without a doubt worth the cost.…

    Unexpected Friendship

    As much as humans like to control their own lives, there are many aspects that are outside of our control. For example, we do not choose the families into which we are born or the places where we grow up. The same is sometimes true of friendships. Some friends we choose because we identify them as people who are similar to us and because they offer us something we want. Occasionally, however, we make unexpected friends. For example, a young person bumps into someone at the library who is crying because she has lost an important paper she was writing for school. As a result, the two become friends and learn that helping people through tough times is at the core of strong relationships.…

    Friendship is a very powerful word. As children are growing up, their parents and family give them a taste of what friendship really is all about. Starting at a young age, it is smart for parents to teach children the significance of friendship. A friend should be someone who tells the other individual when they are doing wrong. They should influence them to do good, give them a shoulder to cry on, and be that person to talk to when sad. Friendships change over time as you move from childhood to adulthood, however, friendship exists in the positive relationships a person builds.…

    There are different ways to tell the difference between a real friend and a fake friend. Some qualities in a good friend are they are trust worthy, they listen to your thoughts, concerns and issues, and you can tell them stuff without them judging you. If someone doesn’t always use these traits it doesn’t make them a “bad friend”, people make mistakes and as people ourselves we should forgive and forget because one of these days were going to mess up too, it happens to all of us, when we mess up we are going to expect others to forgive us but it is a lot less likely for them to forgive us if we don’t forgive them, as the lord said in the Matthew 7:12 “do to others what you would have them do to you.”…
