...Im only uploadind this because i want to get onto this site.. lol Orwell Essay Draft The highly political and literary worlds constructed from the writer George Orwell has allowed audiences to see glimpses of themselves among these worlds, as well as provoking acts of analysis and reflection within themselves, decades after these worlds and opinions were initially established. The ongoing relevance of Orwell is due to an inspiring recipe of writing greatness. Orwell’s authentic craftsmanship, directness of expression, straightforward-simple style, methodical structure, pure honesty and most importantly textual integrity, marries together with his abilities to use his context and experiences as evidence for his ideas and argument. Essentially, it is Orwell’s universal and highly relatable ideas that allow his audiences to reflect upon Orwell’s arguments, amongst their own personal contexts for decades upon decades. These ideas constructed from the literary, political and nationalistic worlds, are derived from Orwell’s famous essays, Writers and Leviathan (W&L), Why I Write (WIW), Politics and the English Language (PATEL), Notes on Nationalism (NoN) and Sporting Spirit (SS), which are still studies and read worldwide today. Through Orwell’s essays Writers and Leviathan, Why I Write, and Politics and the English Language, Orwell has been able to establish a literary world for his audience to reflect their literary views and opinions upon. Writers and Leviathan, was a response...

...“Hating people because of their color is wrong and it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It’s just wrong.”. Racism in this country has lately been leading towards politics and sadly the color of people's skin. More NFL players are beginning to stand up for their own beliefs by taking a knee when the National Anthem is played. As this protest was started by Colin Kaepernick, who was the first to kneel. This has lead to more media discussion about racism, all for he didn’t feel as equal to others. Specifically, with Colin Kaepernick’s actions, people began to realize that they felt the same way about racism and equality, which has now turned into a huge discussion across the nation and even in the media's views. Although some...

...“A teenage brain is not just an adult brain with fewer miles on it (Jensen 1).” According to Neurologist Frances E. Jensen, teens are not mentally developed, thus it can make them incapable of making crucial decisions. When it comes to voting, teens cannot always be trusted with America’s fate. Since many teens are not interested in the world of politics, they are improbable to be concern of what is happening. At the age of 16 and 17, teens are not able to make crucial decisions yet, therefore, how are they going to be able to make the right decision for the nation? Despite the reasons for lowering the voting age to 16, lowering the voting age to 16 is a catastrophic mistake because teenagers are easily swayed, are immature, and are irresponsible. The fact of the matter is that teens are easily swayed, which makes lowering the voting age to 16 unacceptable. “This leaves teens easily influenced by their environment and more prone to impulsive behavior, even without the impact of souped-up hormones and any genetic or family predisposition (Ruder 1).” According to Harvard Magazine, teens are likely to be swayed by influences such as school, friends,...

...handle an intellectual conversation. More doors are open to Women today in the United States. Women are able to hold powerful positions in the government, and corporate world. There was a time when women were not allowed to have any role or say in the law making decisions. The role of women has changed since the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Some women do not even choose to be mothers. That is still somewhat of a taboo, but it is not that uncommon. Women can now choose their careers, over being a wife and or mother. Women are owning fortune 500 companies and being powerful forces in the business world. Women are also demanding and earning the same if not more than some males on the job. A women can be the breadwinner in the family. Women have proven that they can do both, They can run a business and a household. This upcoming Presidential election, we will be having a Woman running for president. The government is no longer an all boys club. The idea of having a woman president is proof of how far women’s rights have come. Women are now more respected and their opinions valued. Of course there is still those who do not want to evolve, and feel that a woman should “stay in her place”. But the women of today have showed that there is no one “place” for us to be. Women can make their own rules. In the media the masculine role tends to be strong, no emotion. The male is always considered the hero, or someone to rescue the female role. In the media the feminine role is always the damsel...

On the contrary, the Catholic Irish define power on a personal level to a degree that may seem almost anarchic, but which symbolizes the continuity of the patron-client relationship, which constituted the basis of politics in rural Ireland. The achievement of the Catholic Irish in Canada but also elsewhere has been the translation of this personal approach...

...able to be fair to a group of people or an individual. It is an appalling social issue, which leads to prejudice and poor treatment to a group. Discrimination can cut across gender, social classes, and even races (Aganbegian 2012). However, my research is based on sex discrimination in workplaces and sports. On the other hand, Gender discrimination is the biased treatment of a group or an individual based on their sex and the values in them as fixed by the different cultures in the society. It is worth pointing out that every society has values and norms affixed to each gender in the society. It is all based on the gender stereotype, especially on the female sex. When we refer to sex discrimination against women, we mean that the male gender is deemed more powerful and f greater value than the female gender. At least, a big percentage of society has their standard of evaluating both gender and female sexuality is always disregarded (Todozidevic and Zsolt 2003). The female gender is said to be weak, emotional, and psychologically sensitive. The biases aspect of discrimination makes it a social problem. The factors that make gender discrimination are the fact that women are a group that is vulnerable to most of the social set up. Socially, a woman is taken to be both physically and psychologically weak. In fact, women can never physically assault men because they are weaker in strength. Politically, a woman is never...

...already have. I enjoy studying how fundamental Chemistry can be practiced to generate substances in order to solve different puzzles that come with it. I often find it enjoyable learning about the physical science of things instead of the mental science. Despite my love for studying Biology and Chemistry, I am intrigued to study Politics and Psychology. If there were no field of Psychology numerous enquiries related to the nature of humans would be unheard of. Psychology encompasses the study of the intellectual capabilities of the mind and that engrosses me, as I have always been interested in the study of the brain. Politics is of high importance, especially as we are living in a vast world, it is very important to be well informed of our government and hence it fascinates me to know the motives of politicians and how their opinions are affected by it. I feel, I am a good candidate for Politics as I am eager to have knowledge of governmental affairs and I love studying things that can challenge me intellectually and I know studying Politics will help me attain this. I feel as though I have been successful in discerning an individual’s personality and intellect, which will help me in studying Psychology. I am a diligent and devoted individual and I feel I will be successful in these subjects. I am a peer mentor as I enjoy taking part in the school community and being there for younger students. This was also beneficial for me as it allowed me to keep an open mind and made...

...a passion for it. They are also similar because they both have fellow teachers in their families, they both live in the communities they teach in, and both believe the greatest benefit of teaching is being able to influence and help children. Out of both of my interviews with Mr. Drew and Mrs. Neese only a few things stood out in stark contrast. These responses were; Mr. Drew has been an educator for almost 50 years while Mrs. Neese for almost 20, Mr. Drew began teaching because of a love of young people and sports, Mrs. Neese because of a love of children, helping people and because she wanted to be a good influence unlike some of her past teachers. I learned a lot about being an insider in the field of education during the two interviews I conducted. I learned from both interviews that the field of education is not for the light hearted. That education can be fun but also very challenging, and that the best way to succeed in this field is to ignore the politics around you and just worry about your job and the children around...

...Last NFL season Colin Kaepernick decided to protest racial injustice in the U.S by taking a knee during the national anthem before his games. This local movement quickly sparked discussions across conservative media who “ignored Kaepernick’s stated intentions and instead accused him of being unpatriotic and disrespectful of the American flag” (Illing 2018) However, this was not what brought Kaepernick to news headlines. The controversy exploded when President Donald Trump responded to the situation by saying, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners ... say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He’s fired!’ (Graham 2017). Overall the NFL protests demonstrate how the snowballing turmoil of a country can make its way into...

When it comes to the trustworthiness, it can be discussed how reliable the book is considering that it was written 70 years after the event, though some of the reports, letters and diaries were written during and shortly after the Olympics in 1936 . However, the interviews done in the twenty-first century are probably affected by the present day’s vision on Nazism, Jews and blacks, and several details are lost by time. Even though Christopher Hilton tries to be as objective as possible, we...

...1. Yes, sport has a unique ability to transcend ‘race, politics or language group.’ Sport ignites feelings of pride and patriotism in its citizens and it thus forms a strong bond within a country. As seen so obviously in 1994 when the winning of the rugby world cup as well as Nelson Mandela wearing the rugby jersey, brought the entire country closer – this ‘gesture of racial reconciliation which meted heart around the country.’ It unified our diverse nation because in that moment everyone was fore-mostly proudly South African. National sporting events remind the citizens of a country of their common link (to their country) and this feeling of being connected by something bigger than any individual, unifies a nation. 2.1 Image 2: The 1994 Rugby World Cup held in South Africa – when the Springboks won the finals and Nelson Mandela was there to...

...There is a huge amount of money being made off college sports and has led to some questions to whether or not student-athletes should be paid for their efforts. As Forbes' Chris Smith wrote, CBS and Turner Broadcasting make more than $1 billion off the games, "thanks in part to a $700,000 ad rate for a 30-second spot during the Final Four." Athletic conferences receive millions of dollars in payouts from the NCAA when their teams advance deep into the tournament. Ditto for the coaches of the final squads standing. (US News and World Report, 2014) Unfortunately, the players don’t ever get to see any of that money, even though they risk career-ending injuries each time they step out onto the court, field or rink. In March of last year, Louisville Cardinals Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome broken leg, he successfully had surgery but it is still uncertain whether or not he will return. A group of former players filed an antitrust lawsuit alleging that student athletes should be entitled to some of the money the NCAA makes off of using their names and likenesses on merchandise such as jerseys, video games, Ads. Etc. If college athletes were allowed to accept money it would encourage good grades, make a good incentive program, and help with recruitment of players. Up until now the debate over whether a college athlete should be compensated during their sports career was just a debate; this has recently turned into more than that. In my opinion compensating the players would encourage...
