Negative Population Growth
Negative Population Growth

Expansion is useless and problematic without a contributing factor such as productivity. The initiative for making good use out of what the population uses for its needs can be described as minimalistic. Growth should entail an equal amount of output to show motivation or models for future generations to build on. We as people need to shape our society to show accomplishment and consistent growth of our economy and community. But without such knowledge for the newcomers in the community this growth has nothing to show for. “High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectations.” – Charles F. Kettering

Our community grows, but the members of society seem to just live for their own good; contributions to the ones around come at very infrequent intervals. Schools have such competitive attitudes that teamwork has almost become extinct. There is absolutely no emphasis in bringing out the developing minds’ ambitions that aren’t academically related. These minds go into the world without any knowledge what they are capable of and spread the “crab” or “why should I” mentality to other communities. It should be universally known that academics aren’t the basis for success and accomplishment. A basic assembly, pep rally, or seminar acknowledging this fact could expand these still open minds into a whole other world of possibilities.
In our current state as a community, children are often taught to only achieve sole success and to benefit themselves. What I suggest is that there are activities or classes integrated into the academic curriculum in schools to show the next generation what they can do to help their community prosper and how they can go about doing these things. School sponsored events that allow students to receive addition credit or some other type of positive reinforcement for the completion of volunteer work is just one of many ways this vision can be achieved.

    Lastly, I will propose having a community event, such as a community carnival. Having an event like this not only brings our school together but also our cluster and community. In order to get most of the students involved we will give community service hours to each student that participates in creating a booth. The grade level that raises the most money can have a reward.…

    EIU Personal Statement

    On the night I shared the news of my nomination as one of EIU’s 2016 Top Black Achievers with my family, my younger cousin, Diana, sent me a message saying, “Congratulations. I aspire to be as great as you. You literally inspire me to try hard to be successful.” To which I responded, “Aspire to be even better!” I was moved beyond expression. Diana’s words made me realize that by remaining steadfast in my quest for educational enrichment, I am also positively influencing young people who look like me and come from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. My quest for education is sending the message that not only can they reach the doors of higher education, but they can work even harder and accomplish so much more. Coming from a social climate that either indirectly or…

    I was privileged enough to be a part of a program in my high school that encouraged participating in volunteer work for both the community and school. For the past 3 years of my high school career, I was able to volunteer at neighborhood events hosted by a recreational center to a larger scale event like the Little Feet Meet hosted by Old Dominion University, where a Special Olympics is organized for elementary students across Norfolk who have mental and physical disabilities. By volunteering to these type of events, I realized that one of the fundamental aspects of being a good citizen is helping provide an environment in which everyone can feel free and…

    Darren Walker’s argument for opportunity is a bold one, and one that is driven by pure logic. Society doesn’t need the same “rich” people pursuing the same careers. Those from humble origins can potentially change the entire game of life. For not only would the students benefit from this, but society would constantly be improving and growing, ushering in a new age of positive advancements that the world so desperately…

    So what can we do? I believe that today we're infatuated by the luxury of life, but the unexpected little things can move us.

    Community life and civic engagement are a huge responsibility of citizens. Residents of a community have the constant responsibility of making the society around them reflect an advance in the eminence of lives in the community. The simple duty of any citizen is to give to the common good. Civic responsibilities are achieved by volunteering and choice. Volunteering, involving in positive organizations, or tutoring are all ways that people can subsidize to the good of the community. Small deeds that seem to prosper someone in some way or the other is still a way of helping others. To learn something from the assistance that one does to another the deed does not have to be big, as long as the person providing the assistance is doing it with a…

    Junior Honor Society, JHS, and Community Action Program/ Students Against Destructive Decisions, Cap/Sadd are marvelous examples of these. While in JHS I have volunteered for working at the science fair, family fun night, tutoring younger kids, collecting breakfast passes, and collecting money for causes such as, the Connellsville flood. Likewise, Cap/Sadd has also opened me up to more opportunities to volunteer for wonderful causes. Events such as walks to raise money for parks, DUI awareness, drug awareness and other events such as the YIMS drug symposium are all great affairs I personally have volunteered at through Cap/Sadd. Groups and organizations are all fantastic ways to show your good…

    One of the main problem I notice, while volunteering is that the kids can be uncomfortable with their peers at times when it comes to asking and answering questions. My group of students was able overcome that through a series of ice breakers and team building activities. Through the games and challenges the students begin to ignore how others viewed them but worked together to achieve a common goal. With my experience, I propose a youth challenge day where the community comes together and the youth are able to interact with others not just from their classrooms. Having young kids and young adults interact with new people will allow them to step out of their comfort zone and learn team building skills. With more interactions of our community we can collectively bring more positivity to Mira…

    The environmental movement began when people saw either a problem with their waters, forests, and other natural resources. Even as early as the middle ages, farmers in the East and what would become South America realized the need for crop rotation to prevent soil erosion. In Europe, the plague prompted improvements in the public health system, particularly to improve the water. Also, due to Englanders nearly depleting all of their forests, they switched to coal—a resource that would later cause many more health problems, especially in the larger cities. Beyond that, as health problems arose over the centuries, people saw a need to improve their environment. The environmental movement became more organized in the 1960s when the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, caught fire and in 1969 when UNESCO’s Man and His Environment conference prompted the international community to work together on environmental issues. In the early 80s, the Environmental Protection Agency was founded and spearheaded massive cleanup efforts to improve the environment. In the 80s, the Chernobyl disaster, along with several other worldwide incidents, sparked further reform. In 1987, world leaders signed the Montreal Pact, promising to support the environmental cause. The same year, reports on ozone layer depletion served to bring about the ban of aerosols by the 90s. When George W. Bush was elected president in 2001, however, environmental regulations became more relaxed in spite of the mounting evidence for global climate change.…

    As a college student still fresh from high school, I recognize how easily we younger individuals can be led to think that we are solitary in our efforts to climb up the educational ladder. Just two years ago, I thought I wanted to be a professional writer. I even took advanced placement courses in English literature, language and composition in my high school junior and senior year; then I became acquainted with personal computers and became engrossed with the technology behind them. Adding to the flaws of the young, I suppose you could also say that we are too ambiguous. Nevertheless, the fact remains that I selfishly never thought of my fellow classmates, who were undoubtedly in similar situations, as people I could confide in academically. Not even once. Now, if nothing else, my high school recollections provide me with some insight into the problems with the current educational system.…
