“Be nice to the environment. Be nice to animals. Be nice to people. If you do that, you will leave a mark on the world.” This is one of my favorite quotes by Enock Maregesi because it summarizes what I aspire to be. When I graduate high school in the next year and a half, I would like to attend a Texas university and become an environmental engineer. On my mind are Texas State University and A&M. Currently, I am taking the classes I believe will help me follow this career, such as AP Physics, Pre-AP pre-calculus, and engineering design at the Center for Careers and Technical Education.

The overall theme, however, is present in the first line; Sometimes the earth is cruel and Leonard Pitts expresses this through his description of the Haitian people's actions after the earthquake, his language comparing the Haitian people with nature and his overall response to the way Haitian people responded to their unfortunate tragedy.

  • 'Battling Bad Science' By Ben Goldacre

    182 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the Ted talk on "Battling Bad Science", the speaker Ben Goldacre tackles the lack of critical analysis by the public of scientific claims by debunking popular medical claims and exposing methods of borderline falsifying evidence behind claims. Science is a unique subject varying from all others in many rights, particularly when it comes to the critical analysis of its claims by the general public. Unlike politics, law, history, etc., science is given huge leeway to make uncontested claims by the public, where as in other fields their claims are scrutinized before being accepted. On the contrary, people willingly expect dodgy “scientific” claims which often contradict themselves.
