...have a generation of idiots.” Albert Einstein was worried that the future world would misuse technology to the point where there is no human connections; this is exactly what happened in Ray Bradbury’s story The Pedestrian. In The Pedestrian, Mr. Mead has walked every night for years, but no one ever walks anymore. Technology is a big part of this generation’s life, which isn’t always the best. Thus, the role of technology today could lead to the misuse of technology and then eventually to the lack of human connections. Technology can be used for the better but we can also misuse the technology. For instance, while Mr. Mead was walking he got stopped by a robot cop car. Mr. Mead stated, “as he passed the front window of the car, he looked in. As he expected there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all” (176). With having an automatic cop car is misusing technology because they are sending robots out to do their work instead of doing it themselves. Another example, when Mr. Mead said that he was a writer the cap car said no profession. Then Mr. Mead told us, “magazines and books didn’t sell anymore” (175). Books and magazines didn’t sell anymore because the people are are to involved in...

Social media has been part of our life for many young people today they use these things for them to communicate with their friends or to their families who are in abroad and to have entertainment. But sometimes they abuse use of social media that they forgot to balance their studies. In seeking this study I would be able to identify the good and bad effects of social media towards the study of the youth today; if this thing really helps to every individual to achieve their goals in life, help them to improve their academic grades and help them to motivate in their studies. Social media has been part of the life of the new generation today sometimes they use it just for fun ,and to escape boredom that they tend to forget the proper use of social media towards their studies.

...The Media Classmates, I am going to talk about the negative factors the media has on teenagers in the 21st century. I say 21st century because that’s essentially when the media flourished into an “entity”. It influences the lives of billions and enslaves the lives of millions of teenagers. But first we have to ask ourselves, what is the media? It is the main means of mass communication (television, radio, and newspapers) regarded collectively. Nowadays for our generation the media is a vast form of communication that permeates nearly every aspect of modern culture. We depend on the media for information on everything from finding out what the latest gadgets are to looking at the latest fashion trend or finding out what our favourite celebrity is up to. Media’s effects on teenagers are significant. “It almost controls the minds of teenagers like a giant remote control”. “Studies have shown that certain groups of teenagers are prone to act out violently/aggressively because of media influences”. This is because we, as a society glorify negative behaviours. Movies and television programme often show characters using drugs and alcohol and engaging in violent behaviour. At a developmental stage when teens seek greater freedom and independence, the glorification of drugs, alcohol, risky sexual and violent behaviours in the media make it challenging for teens to make responsible behavioural choices. Furthermore according to Ofcom programmes that caused the most concern to parents...

...Albert Einstein once said “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The World will have a generation of idiots.” The world is so reliant on saving trees and saving paper that everything is becoming electronic. With all magazines and books converting to e-magazines and e-books the world will become too dependent on technology. In a nation that citizens are already too dependent on technology I fear that this will create problems in the future. No one will really know the feeling of a magazine or newspaper hot off the press or the crisp smell of the pages of a brand new book. Taking a deeper look into saving trees and paper, books can be recycled and reused by hundreds or maybe thousands of different people. Whereas, the e-readers that are used for the e-books and e-magazines are mainly used by one person and are poorly disposed of whenever they get worn out or something better comes along. Compared to old fashioned books, e-books and e-magazines pose a greater demand other than just cutting down a tree. For example, manufacturing of electronic products, the shipping costs, fuel, and eventually, the energy needed to recycle these materials at the end of their days. I feel that with all that time and money wasted, people could just as well drive or even walk to their nearest library and check out a few books, and most of the time they are free. Living in a technology dependent nation, everything is going electronic. Just as Albert Einstein said “…technology...

...After W.I.C.K.E.D. realized that The Flare was far more out of hand than they originally planned for, they combined forces with other countries to find and create a cure. Something they found out was that a vast majority of the youngest generation alive at the time were immune to The Flare. So, they selected children (both immune and non-immune), to go to the W.I.C.K.E.D. Compound and undergo some tests. Physical tests, problem-solving tests, medical tests, you name it. These kids had to go through this, some a young as five years old. Once the children got to be teenagers, W.I.C.K.E.D. chose those who they felt would be most promising to help find a cure, and sent them into the Maze Trials. The Maze Trials, was a “controlled” experiment with multiple different variables. Such as: Grievers, the Maze shifting during the night, and the walls. As you can imagine, it took sometime for the Maze to be built, who do you think programmed everything? Designed the layout? Chose the variables...

...I recognize this viewpoint is wrong and that my sweet grandma is of the same generation and she has yet to lynch anyone. I also recognize this is the most bias and generalizing opinion I've ever held. However, the GOP party isn't giving me any other options as to what their motivation may be. Let's look at what used to be a selling point of the Republican party. The Working class party. The party that got the government out of your hair so you could keep living the dream. They gave you your money back and treated you as an equal. For example, in the past decade and some change, they've been pushing "Trickle Down Economics." The thing that didn't work once, so we'll try it again. Trumps tax plan reminds me exactly of Bush's. You chop those...

...necessarily receive nightmares from these tales. Though petite children may not be listening to the Brothers Grimm every night as a bedtime story, the majority will likely end up hearing the originals in a certain way or another. Are they honestly that frightened? Maybe a little, but that little jolt of fear can help a juvenile not become a total idiot. Next, according to storyteller Jackie Torrence in her essay “Scary Tales,” fear is an emotion that we need to use. She says that “Children need to be frightened. We all do. It’s an emotion that was given to all of us and it should be exercised. When you don’t exercise it, you lose your sense of fear. That’s why my granddaddy told me scary stories. He wanted me to know that only fools rush in where angels fear to tread. You should be a little hesitant occasionally, his stories were saying, you should think twice before going into the woods, there just might be a hairy man, and you need to be cautious.” Jackie feels quite confident in this notion, and it makes sense. Identically, if children are never shown the horror genre, would they even know that dangerous articles exist? The next generation would be filled with total airheads. Not afraid of anything, not necessarily brave, just clueless as to what in fact happens outside their comforting walls. Is that a pleasant idea? No. Thirdly, the bulk number of people is required to conquer their fears eventually, so it is not necessarily an inadequate artifact to let adolescents experience...

...Consider Notes Chapter 2 * WE need to set aside our passion in order to think clearly, to think critically, to make wise decisions. * How do we know the difference between noun and verb words like read and read? Understanding the context is necessary in critical thinking. * We need discernment. The path to discernment is through critical thinking. * Being able to critically think and intelligently challenge incorrect thinking is essential in making wise decisions. What is Critical Thinking? * Definition: A self-guided, self-disciplined process which directs individuals to think correctly about themselves and the world around them. It is an essential method that guides its adherents (someone who supports a particular party, person, or set of ideas) towards truth. It involves investigation, analysis and self-corrective decision-making which provide a consistent and coherent (of an argument, theory, or policy) logical and consistent) way to solve a problem and conclusion. * It is through the process of questioning what you see, hear, and experience that you can come to a conclusion to make a wise decision * Point of this book is to challenge you to “know what you believe” and “why you believe it” not to make you a skeptical question everything weird-o. * Hebrews 4:12 - “For the word of God is living and active.

...Why read Shakespeare? Shakespeare is like a ghost haunting us throughout our high school careers. He may just follow us further than that. Most of us, when i say most i mean, 99.9% of us, hate this topic and dread it every year. Then there are the ones who like going through Shakespeare and like being challenged to understand what he says. The author, Michael Mack, uses an effective argument speaking to the college freshman about Shakespeare and how his writings are worth the effort to try and understand his writing through rhetorical devices and his appeal to the audience. To begin with, the evidence that Mack uses to advance his argument is his use of evidence. Throughout his speech Mack had evidence that it isn’t just the present generations that find shakespeare difficult to understand. His contemporaries also knew this. That is why they wrote:“Read him, therefore; and again and again. And if then you do not like him, surely you are in some manifest danger, not to understand him”(lines 38-41). Not only did they understand that Shakespeare was in fact difficult to interpret, if you...
