I chose the song “Don’t Panic” by Coldplay because I strongly believe it reflects myself‚ and my life quite accurately‚ which expresses my beliefs. The song “Don’t Panic” is a pessimistic/optimistic song that can be especially shown in some lines of the lyrics. The pessimistic side of the song shown by “Bones sinking like stones” expresses that we are all going to go through some sort of suffering that we will have to endure. This line relates to a part of my life as a child living in New York‚ which

A world without any feeling or past is a scary thought to think about but can be seen in the world of Feed‚ by M.T. Anderson.

existentialism‚ and one of its greatest philosophers Jean Paul Sartre‚ were the motivation and inspiration to the arts and humanities during the 1940’s and 1950’s. First allow me to elaborate on the definition of existentialism and France at the start of 1940. Existentialism is a philosophical movement oriented toward two major themes‚ the analysis of human existence and the centrality of human choice. Existentialism’s chief theoretical energies are thus devoted to questions about ontology and decision

What is Community? What kind of impact can it have? These are questions that aren’t as easy to answer in today’s world‚ opposed to just a decade ago. The biggest change in that time‚ is the introduction of social media like Facebook‚ Twitter‚ Youtube‚ etc. Many of the brightest minds are taking conflicting sides on the topic.

Sojourner Truth makes several striking points regarding women’s rights in her argumentative speech‚ "Aren’t I a Woman?"
