    Todd Anderson's Growth

    • 879 Words
    • 4 Pages

    “I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived”(Thoreau). After reading this, Todd Anderson, from the movie The Dead Poets Society, realizes he does not want to die like this. Anderson arrives to an all-boys school, not knowing that his whole way of thinking was about to change. Before, he lived not for himself, but to please his parents by attempting to be like his successful brother. Living like this made him quiet and conscious of all of his actions. He has to think reasonably before doing anything too spontaneous. One would say this is the way of a Rationalist thinker. Throughout the class taught by an imaginative teacher named Mr. Keating, Todd Anderson slowly develops ideas that become actions of a true Romantic. Although Todd Anderson begins as a Rationalist thinker, his actions, which are inspired by Mr. Keating, proves that he transformed in to a free-thinking Romantic.…

    Craig Kielburger is best known for being a famous Canadian activist for the rights of children. Kielburger is the founder of “Free the Children” and co-founder of “Me to We”. In 1995, Kielburger was twelve years old at the time when he saw a headline in the Toronto Star that read “Battled Child Labour, Boy, 12, Murdered.” The story was about a young Pakistani boy who was forced into bonded labour in a carpet factory at the age of four, and became an international figurehead for the fight against child labour by the age of twelve, but was brutally murdered in 1995. After Craig read this article, he began to research child labour, showed this particular article to his classmates and formed a group called “Twelve-Twelve-Year-Olds” which formed to “Free the Children”. This organization become international with 45 participating countries to help the world become a better place. In today's society, Craig's point of view can be implemented by following in his footsteps to help and try making the world a better place and continuing to support his success with the organization he created, and realizing that you can make a difference if you believe in the fight that you want to stand up for. Craig Kielburger would be considered a pro-natalist point of view because in order to make a difference in the world, you need a lot of help to make the change and it starts by going small and growing big like Kielburger did with Free the Children. The more people that are involved, the greater the chances will be to make the change in society. Personally, I think that Kielburger’s idea with free the children can help solve the problem with this issue of child labour because he is trying to send the message out that child labour is wrong and no child show be forced to work and that children should be allowed to be children by playing, learning, and having fun. By Craig Kielburger and everyone that is in the organization are making a difference in society for the children and hopefully…

    New technological advances allow for patients to stay alive in situations that they normally could not survive. This causes an increasingly problematic conflict between medical and legal systems. The Uniform Declaration of Death Act allows for a somewhat reliable definition for death in both systems. However, some situations still challenge the universally accepted definition of death. Lia’s situation is a perfect example of how a medical definition of death conflicts with legal conditions. Lia’s complex medical situation showcases how death challenges both the medical and legal systems in America, making it very difficult to offer a concrete definition.…
