Growing up near Detroit‚ I have personally seen the poor conditions and standards of life that some people are living in. Although I have completed many hours of volunteer work in an effort to improve the bad conditions in the city‚ I feel as if I have not done enough. That is why after reading SCU’s vision‚ the aspect that attracted me most was the idea of building a more humane‚ just and sustainable world. In our society‚ the less fortunate are often overlooked.

Though described by Hoccleve in other poems as “most mighty king‚” in Au

I am from Arroz e Feijao‚ a small town in the northeast of Brazil. Building a factory in there will bring a lot of advantages and disadvantages‚ but I believe that Arroz e Feijao will mostly benefit from the building of a new factory because it is largely populated by poor people and the factory would bring many benefits to this small town. However‚ of course‚ a factory has disadvantages as well. As you know‚ factories usually bring pollution. If this factory is not managed very effectively and

Clarice Lispector was born as an attempt to cure her mother’s sexually transmitted disease. However‚ this did not work and her mother passed away‚ filling Lispector with guilt. There is evidence of this motif of guilt in several of Lispector’s stories‚ such as in “The Crime of the Mathematics Professor‚” which is from the collection Family Ties. In addition‚ since Lispector’s mother died when Lispector was still young‚ the disconnect between mother and daughter is reflected in the story‚ “Family

The more “realistic” a work is‚ the more “truth” is reveals; however‚ not all modern writers‚ such as Thomas Howard‚ agree with this concept.
