LIVE AND LET LIVE LIFE IS not as simple as it was before. With scientific and technological developments‚ man has become obsessive of luxurious lifestyle. Materialism has grasped all of us. It has made man insensitive to the human emotions of pity‚ compassion‚ generosity and affection. All of us want to prosper with material comforts and thus‚ we venture into the mad ‘rat race’. In this materialistic world‚ we are governed by our instinct rather than our by conscience. This is the modern era

In the essay “But What Do You Mean” Deborah focuses on many of the communication rituals found in the work environment and how they’re viewed differently between men and women.

The film “The Mask You Live In” directed the Jennifer Siebel Newsom is primarily askes the question what does it mean to be a man and what does it take to be a man? This film has opened my eyes to see what is being expected at a young age for a boy. I was surprised when so many young boys were told this at a young age which have heavily impacted them in the future and shaped them negatively. If you were to show any traits that has to do with feminism you would be teased and get called names like

Respect isn’t just for others though‚ you need to respect yourself

I believe diversity has a wide variety of definitions. It means accepting others despite their moral values. As a young African-American woman attending a school where people come from all different walks of life‚ I am challenged with different types of people and accepting their moral values. One of my best friends is an African-American male‚ Christian‚ and homosexual. Typically Christians and black people don’t accept those who attribute to same-sex relationships‚ but I love and see past his beliefs

Justice means having someone adjudicated and found guilty for a crime they have committed. Laws are put in place for a reason and everyone should have to abide by them. Just having a criminal off the street is enough justice for me‚ but locking one up and “throwing away the key” will not make them better; it will probably not change them at all and eventually make their situation worse. Convicted felons need a plan of treatment. First‚ they need to realize what they have done was wrong. Next‚ they
