What we earn does not fully provide for all our needs; the tuition fee of my brother and other household utilities are some of the things we still need to secure. This often leads us to incur debts from money-lending institutions and from our relatives. Looking from these aspects, the possibility for us to rise from our meager condition is still far; unless miracles happen along the way. However, it appears to me that what we experience is not unique, because most families belonging to the middle and lower classes, whose main source of income comes from public utility vehicles (PUV), share almost the same sentiments. The concept of C. Wright Mills’s “Sociological Imagination” maybe helpful to understand in a wider perspective our experiences and how these circumstances persist in the Philippine society.

Investigators as well as researchers had met a man who goes by the name Eugene Black who sat down and talked about the harsh journey he had with his involvement in being confined in one of those camps. He was born in 1928 is Czechoslovakia, and grew up with a Jewish family. Though religion only played a small role in his life, when German forces fled his homeland he was immediately forced to work in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp.

There are limitations as to what one can purchase with an EBT card. Therefore, an offender may choose to sell their benefits, so that they can use that cash freely on what they wish. It is a give and take where both offenders feel as though they are benefiting. The one who sells their EBT card and PIN receives money they can spend how they like, and the one who is buying that EBT card for a fraction of the price receives more money than they put in, and can purchase their participating items tax free. Rational Choice Theory implies that people will do what they can get away

People who don’t help others should be punished because they don’t fulfill their ethical responsibility and someone could lose their life because of it. If we see someone who needs help, do we stop? There is so much suffering and poverty out there.

As stated in the text,”In truth, it is more than a coin—it is a piece of American culture.” Even though the penny has some culture, culture is nothing compared to losing money the losing money part is way more important than just being part of American culture. This shows how people can hold onto the smallest things for the dumbest reasons. Another thing stated in the text was,”Still, for many people, the penny's sentimental value remains the same.” Even though the penny may have some sentimental value the government is losing a ton of money minting new pennies because they cost more than they have in value.

The Impact of the New World in Global Trade People all over the world were affected by the global trade that was opened with the exploration of the new world. Between 1300-1800 CE people began to open trade routes that allowed people to trade all over the world. This allowed for new ideas and technologies to access parts of the world that they never had before. Now that there was an extreme increase in trade, a new merchant class arose in Europe. Trade was an important force for change leading to the desire for new resources and goods; drove exploration; and impacted societies and relationships between civilizations around the world.

Beginning in the early modern era, European nobility and merchant classes—now unlimbered by the feudal economy of the Medieval Era, set their sights away from sustainability and began to search for new routes of trade and capital. In order to do so, European exploration began to focus upon descriptive and social-scientific accounts of other cultures. These travel writings served as the foundation for the reasoning behind European expansionism and conquest beginning in the late 15th and early 16th century. Despite their often grandiose and even falsified accounts, historian Charles Parker notes that these writings “found a ready market among urban elites, aristocrats, and churchmen.” These early ethnographic and travel writing’s problematic

As Marco Polo roamed through steaming deserts, and vast seas, he had multiple discoveries and was very successful. But one thought was always on his large, intelligent mind, the death of his dear, departed mother. His mother was there for poor young Marco everyday of his infancy, and then she just fanished, and sadly passed away.
