Sustainability is how you balance and maintain the environment, culture, and economy in your life.*** I can not believe I am saying this, but I do not really know what sustains me. I could say my boyfriend because I would have given up with my life if we had never met or I could say that my family sustains me. I feel like the only thing that has kept me going is the fear of failure and not knowing if I will ever live my life to the fullest.
“...drink in the beauty and wonder at the meaning of what you see.” (Rachel Carson, Sense Of Wonder) What you see is what you strive off of. Everything around you has shaped you into who you are now. All those small little details that you brushed off your shoulder, Those are so much more important than you realize. You should notice the little things in life.***

You may not notice that there is more than what you see at first glance, but there is a whole world if you just take the time to pay attention to your surroundings. *** I am fully involved in the digital environment, but my generation is of technology. I spend most of my time growing my online life. I think it is important to be very social online and in person. Online is the quickest way to get information out to others. The Wings of Hope program uses that as an advantage. With the digital environment, this program is able to educate others about the depletion of Florida Panthers. They can use a variety of social media apps and websites to spread the word about how important protecting nature can be. Another example of the digital age is in The Circle. Ty has realized what has become of the company and he does not want it to carry on. He knows that it is not going to turn out well. He is not afraid it will fail or never be good, but he is afraid it will become too powerful and it will just blow up in everyone’s

  • Summary Of Is Google Making USupid By Nicholas Carr

    615 Words  | 3 Pages

    The net is such an excellent resource for almost everything we need; whenever we have a research paper due, want to see pictures of family members, or are simply bored, the net supplies. However, Carr states that such easy accessibility of information comes with a price, and that the Internet is slowly taking away our ability to be profound and replacing it with swift superficial thinking (Carr 801). My generation, myself included, knows nothing about opening a book and immersing our minds in the literature. On the contrary, we know everything about social networking and jumping from hyperlink to hyperlink. Our focus has been reduced to a picture with a caption and a 140 letter Twitter post.

  • The Invisible Woman Analysis

    1362 Words  | 6 Pages

    Stacy Davis, self-proclaimed activist for feminism and womanism, is a “scholar trained in feminist theory and African American biblical hermeneutics” (Davis 23). In her article, The Invisible Woman: Numbers 30 and the Policies of Singleness in Africana Communities, Davis argues for a prominent place for single woman (specifically those who have never married) in biblical scholarship, and as leaders in the church, with questions of their sexuality left alone. Davis argues this viewpoint from the perspective as an unmarried black woman. Davis establishes the foundation for her argument in Numbers 30, a text that altogether omits reference to single woman, rather each group of women mentioned in the text about vows refers to them in relation to men (21). Thus, Davis establishes the omission of single women in the Hebrew Bible as the invisible women.

  • Attention Blindness In Cathy Davidson's Now You See It

    553 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The science of attention teaches us that we tend to pay attention to what we have been taught to value and that we tend to be astonishingly blind to change until something disrupts our pattern and makes us see what has been invisible before.” Page 243 Common sense to dictate that people will acknowledge problems before it occurs. You would think that people will be able to understand the outcome before it happens but that is not true. In part four of Cathy Davidson’s, “Now You See it”, she emphasize the importance of working with other people to help us to see what we are missing. In discussion of attention blindness, it is very difficult for a person alone to develop ingenious idea of solution to a problem because that person may only see the scope of a bigger picture.

  • Annie Dillard's Sight Into Insight

    196 Words  | 1 Pages

    Annie Dillard’s essay “Sight into Insight” emphasizes how one must live in the moment and not sway towards others opinions in order to gain accurate observations on a situation. She uses nature as a prominent theme in her essay to represent the thought of looking past the superficial obvious in order to go deeper to where the hidden beauty rests. Dillard wants the reader to realize in order to observe clearly you have to live in the moment and let go of the knowledge you think you know on the situation. Dillard uses the example of her “walking with a camera vs walking without one” (para.31) and how her own observations differed with each. When she walked with the camera she “read the light” (para.31), and when she didn’t “light printed” (para.31).

  • Poem Analysis: Oxygen By Mary Oliver

    303 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have chosen the poem titled Oxygen by Mary Oliver, found on page 373 in the Meyer text for first analysis. This poem is essential about someone who is seriously ill, however, the tone is rather appreciative and hopeful. In line 5-6, the individual–might be the author herself– kneels by the fire, and this may connect to the fuel that is keeping her partner alive. The burning logs correlates to the life within her partner, that as long as they burn, he will be kept alive. The oxygen fuels the fire burning and also keeps her man alive; however, he is ill and “in his usual position, leaning on his shoulder.”

    Technology definitely is affecting how humans communicate and interact, but that does necessarily have to be a negative thing. For instance, the popular social media application Skype, has kept over 74 million people from around the globe connected with one another. Despite humans spending much more time with their devices, like in “The Pedestrian”, many are not using this time to mindlessly stare at the television. Skype is just one example that connects people who may be a long distance apart, but will still spend an average of 100 minutes a month (“Skype Company Statistics”) still keeping in touch with one another. While some do use their their screens to block out the people around them, a majority use their smart phones and computers to keep connected with their

    Too much screen use induces less communication between people and more time spent using technology. Technology used in our society in the same way. Sometimes people use television to forget about a hard time at work, others using phones in public, so they don’t have to interact with other people. “Little by little, technology has become an integral part of the way that people communicate with one another and has increasingly taken the place of face-to-face communication. Due to the rapid expansion of technology, many individuals fear that people may be too immersed in this digital world and not present enough in the real world,”.

  • Loose Woman By Sandra Cisneros Analysis

    416 Words  | 2 Pages

    Loose Women, is a collection of poetry written by Sandra Cisneros. A wonderful collection of words that speak to the beauty, disgusting, painful, extraordinary things about love, sexuality, women, bodies. Throughout the novel Cisneros revels in sort of “bad girl” image: however the overall persona is that of a passionate, sexual woman who’s had her share of both joy and disappointment. We all know Sandra Cisneros roots come from Mexico and is from Mexican American immigrant family and the culture for her is very different. I can relate to Cisneros’ culture different, since I am from Indian and in India women are considered to be the goddess from ancient time, however they are not being treated like goddess.
