Conscription, also known as drafting, is a law that the government made for people to go to war. This law stated that anyone who was old enough and was able to fight in the war had to go, whether they wanted to go or not. People thought conscription was very beneficial, I on the other hand disagree. Personally, I do not think conscription is a good idea. It is unfair to force people to go to war, by forcing men to enlist in the army, the army force will not be as strong as it could be, and if conscription
Why do some people remember things better than others? Some people are better at memorizing things than others. It is said that genetics makes up about half of your ability to remember. As one can’t change the genes one is born with, but one can improve memory by rehearsal as well as improvements in diet, sleep and fitness. Do you think we memorize things differently now compared to the past? Well, it is a tough question to answer. In my opinion, in past we use to remember only special things or
Acceptance in Society From the beginning of time, acceptance has played an important role in society. It is only human nature, to try and be accepted into a group of people. Explained by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, where social needs are expressed as the 3rd level before self-actualization. Which is what we all strive towards whether we know it yet or not. Acceptance or a sense of belonging can be reasons behind, how we form social groups like cliques, the reason we act the way we do and why we
class, boost my GPA, and finish my English prerequisite. Thankfully, this class did not fulfill that goal. As my first English class at the university, this class challenged the way I thought, and shed light on my strengths and weaknesses. In high school, I had a substantial amount of English experience under my belt, as I had taken all honors and AP English courses. While these classes provided a heavy workload, the essays that we wrote were not necessarily challenging. Most of the courses were
should be kept unseen by their children. Many parents believe that their children should not be unprotected from explicit content. ProCon.org believes that, “Children should not be exposed to sex, violence, drug use, or other inappropriate topics in school or public libraries” (ProCon.org). Parents just want the best for their children, and ProCon.org is just trying to support them with their list of pros to banning books. This quote is just one of multiple reasons why they think books should be banned
Cohabitation is not a new phenomenon yet never be old and likely to be more and more popular in modern life. Despite opposing ideas, many people agreed and supposed cohabitation necessary for their lives. When we go to some areas where students rent rooms or houses to live, you can easily see couples live together as young people are now really familiar with cohabitation. Cohabitation is similar to a mathematics operation, it would give out the result but whether it is right or wrong depends on how
WHY PEOPLE SHOULD READ FOR PLEASURE The Declaration of Human Rights has stated that all human beings reserve the right to rest and leisure. They—human beings—have the rights to stop worrying about bills, heartbreaks, chores, and just be happy and relaxed. However, they tend to abandon this longing and continue on their journey of stressful life due to the fact that they lack money, job, good marks, or other stuff they consider essential to their lives. They do not seem to comprehend the significance

day become a model, actress and singer. Staring at about ten years of age, all I ever wanted to do with my life was write and perform music, model on a runway, and star on a hit television show or movie. My inspiration first came from the High School Musical movies. I first seen HSM when I was in the fourth grade and instantly fell in love with it. I was obsessed with the character Gabriella Montez because she was so beautiful and had such an amazing voice. I wanted to be just like
In spite of the fact that reading a Shakespeare play may not speak to most students, there are actually numerous advantages of reading Romeo and Juliet. Teaching Romeo and Juliet in schools will most certainly be helpful to students. The key advantages associated with the study of Romeo and Juliet consist of; students getting to learn about the way people spoke during Shakespeare’s time, the theme of the play being the ones that students can relate to, and the useful life lessons that can be learned
delicately blunt with her students. Mrs. Walker doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she won’t throw them in someone’s face, either. It is obvious that her goal is to better her students, and that she truly cares for all of them. When I first entered high school, I felt immediately at home in her classroom. As an English minded person myself,
Rid society of school, this proposition Ivan Illich makes in Deschooling Society may seem faithless. How can we live without school? Where will our children go? When will they learn the heritage of their civilization? Civic values? Literacy and numeracy? What will they do about jobs when the job world today really look us from our credentials and certificates in order to evaluate our capability and skill? Such reactions only prove what Illich asserts: we are addicted to schooling. This addiction
essay with a fine-tooth comb, I have found a few flaws in his reasoning. Gerald Graff believes that schools and colleges are not taking advantage of “street smarts” by not using them in an intellectual setting when in fact, schools are providing students with a large assortment of other knowledge and skills. In Graff’s essay “Hidden Intellectualism”, he argues for the importance of changing school curriculums in order to better reflect the interests
Habit, by Bernard Roth, he talks about how to educate people through striving in life and accomplishing things and being successful in life. He pushes people to their limit to achieve something that the person would not think of achieving. In chapter 2, “Reasons are Bullshit” Roth argues that reasons are excuses and they are stopping people from being their best that they can be. The excuses also stop them from being at the top of the podium that they are trying to be on top of. In the book Roth uses
Racial Profiling/ Discrimination: Issues around the world Racial Profiling is a serious issue that has risen in the past few years. This is when discrimination is made against certain ethnic races. Contrary to popular belief, this can happen anytime and anywhere. It is important for us to realize that racial profiling is disrespectful to the people who are targeted and it is a crime. People should not be targeted just because of their race or color. In our societies, Racism has only gotten worse
Every year students face the pressure of graduating high school and getting into a good college. The new graduation requirement that will be effective with the class of 2020 will put even more pressure on students.In fact, the National Honors Society actually only requires 25 hours of community service. If the best performing students are expected to do only 25 hours why should the entire class of 2020 be forced to complete almost triple the amount NHS students are told to do. Many students will
Every year over $45 million are spent on kids between 6 and 16 in the US thats $20 million on in school sports and $25 million on our of school sports.

This matters because
School is a gift that is provided by America, but what happens when students reach a point in their life when large amounts of money are asked in return order to learn? Is it still worth it? Our founding fathers created the 14th Amendment which states “when a state establishes a public school system, no child may be denied”. America offers the privilege to attend a public school at no cost from kindergarten through 12th grade. College allows you to begin your adult life. It is the stepping stone
Parents can compare how their students are doing compared to other schools and even other states. Standardized testing allows schools to compare their results against other schools results. Another reason standardized testing is good is because the tests allow the students’ progress to be tracked throughout the year. If these students are taking similar tests yearly, then
At points I would put what I needed to do in order to succeed in hockey ahead of school because until I was a sophomore in high school I was foolish enough to believe I had a shot of going big in hockey. All of this leads to my main point that I wasn’t born with an athlete identity however, I created one by pursuing a sport I am passionate about and would
