In Generation Me‚ by Jean Twenge‚ the attacks on the generations’ ways of life and standards for living are far-fetched‚ in my opinion. Twenge remarks on how generation me is self-absorbed‚ politically uninvolved‚ too direct and to the point‚ against tradition‚ and all about personal happiness. These things have little to do with major problems such as global warming or the oil crisis‚ and are more about Twenge’s own personal pet peeves. Yes‚ we want to be happy‚ but who doesn’t? Doing well by ourselves

You would probably think I’m talking about my mother from the title‚ but I’m actually talking about my brother Matthew. He has always been there for me and he always makes something funny out of a tragedy. My family isn’t perfect but it isn’t the worse family either. Matthew is the middle child out of five and supposedly the middle child is supposed to hold the family together and I think he does a good job at it. My family is mainly Kentucky Wildcat fans except for my brother Kent and my other

Causal Attribution” by Pawan Kumar‚ it really made me think of how I would characterize those that commit crimes. The article was about research that was conducted in India about suggested punishment for criminals under different circumstances. The article states that in India‚ females are supposed to be less-criminal minded than males. I believe that here in the United States that is also thought. It also says that an educated or wealthy person is more than likely going to be innocent and less-criminal

Typical Me Anger. A controlling sensation of which I have lived with my entire life: an experience of truly horrific re-occurrences. When I say that my anger is controlling I don’t mean that I have my occasional little tantrums‚ I go into another state of mind‚ one of which only a few people have yet seen me in. It is unimaginably frightful for people around me and even worse for me. It interests me‚ my anger‚ and it makes me wonder what a human being is capable of‚ what lengths a certain emotion

“Supersize me” Opinion I felt like supersize me was a great way to finally educate consumers a little bit about how their food is made and to make more conscious decisions when deciding what to eat. It also made me feel disgusted with fast food in general and made me think twice before putting my money in their pockets for something that you just put in your mouth and can’t be called actual food because it isn’t food and has little to no nutritional value. I think that this documentary goes even

Journey Is a Person in Itself If I was just lucky enough to somehow stumble upon a one-hundred million dollars fortune‚ it wouldn’t take me long to figure out what I’m going to be doing for the next chapter of my life. I would first grab my The North Face backpack‚ pack it with what appears to be enough for a week long camping trip and hop on the first 1st class out of the country. Just to get my travelling legs back‚ I believe I would first travel to Europe again to revisit some of my favorite

Helping them to achieve what they want in life is a big ambition of mine. In 2012 working as a teaching assistant gave me the opportunity to spend my time with the children at the English School of Mongolia.
