' This Is Water, By David Foster Wallace
In the story this is water by David Foster Wallace, david discusses a supermarket scenario in which everyone around is in the way which shows the default of thinking a person is the center of the universe. After reading the story it is easy to see how when somebody would look at the generation today, the more they would start to notice that the people around them think they are the center of today's society. In today’s world there are billions of not just children but young adults and adults who think they are the center of attention. Going out in public anybody may see and realize how many people there are out there that think they are the only ones that matter. People like that are either selfish, confident, or rude towards others. When a …show more content…
There has been a progression of bullying happening as many may have noticed, in order to be able to get the bullying to stop or to even calm down someone needs to step up and have a talk, or needs to discipline the bullies. Walking down hallways at school, people say mean words, they do not think of other people's feelings as they say the cruel words coming out of their mouths. Mostly, the reasons being why children, and young adults are usually bullying someone may be because they were not disciplined enough as a child, their parents may have not been around to do so, or they may have a rough life at home. The reasoning trying to be stated is the bullying comes from selfish people. A person can tell if somebody else is selfish or not because selfish people tend to block out what others are feeling around them, how their days went, and/or what is going on in their lives. Selfish people do not care about anyone else except for themselves. A selfish person could see somebody with nothing to their name and still not help them because they do not want to do anything for anybody else. Everyone may have a friend or a family member who they may think is a selfish person, as many people may know a person that is selfish do not be afraid to stand up to them and knock them down and tell them what they are doing is wrong. Selfish people are everywhere in todayś society and they do not care if …show more content…
When reading the story people may start thinking how that comes off a little rude. People throughout the world today are very rude. When looking at society today other than back when there was not much technology people were nicer and more caring of other people and not always so focused on themselves. As technology kept getting bigger and more out there that is when people started to notice the change in today’s society. Technology today people post about how someone did something they did not like, how someone cut them off while driving, or how someone made them mad and they call them names that is the stuff you see today and which is rude. Being rude to people will not change anything, it will only cause more problems then what someone may have started with. When people are rude to others and the other people see what someone is saying about them on social media or hearing someone talk about them behind their backs. The people will either take matters into their own hands and do something no one will like only because they are tired of being pushed around and bullied. When a person is rude it does not do any good to that person or anybody they enter act

    Wallace while covering the topic of having the innate ability to choose how you see day to day life engages and enthralls the reader through the slight use of humor and contemporary sense full writing. While simplifying by generally extracting a piece of an event from the normal day of a worker, Wallace depicts the process of "Default" settings in one's own way of thinking. Wallace clearly defies normal structures of providing advice by genuinely speaking in a tone in which the reader feels connected. Pathos provided necessary flow between his words and the act of choosing to opt out of the "Default settings" Wallace pertains to motivate the audience to actively…

    Wallace, David Foster. "This is Water." Kenyon college commencement speech. May 21, 2005. Wallace's speech gives a look at reality. The way an American adult's life is. The way how everything is routine, how if not "well adjusted," you will be self centered and in default setting. He describes the daily routine of an American adult, and how he goes to a supermarket, packed with more people. He gets frustrated and annoyed by all of these people; how they are just wasting his time. He then starts thinking how all of these people are going through the same thing he is going through; they have rough days just as he does. If someone was to think outside the box and actually focus on the beauty of this world, they will not be bored, annoyed, frustrated,…

    Wallace, Davis Foster." This is Water", Kenyon College Commencement Speech, 2005. The basic information that has been taken out of this speech is, what it really means to think, and learning how to exercise some control on what you think. It is easy to live off our set default rather than look differently at life. Setting a new dedication on how to see life and how you construct meaning from experience. At the beginning, Wallace suggests that as hard we try, we cannot escape from the truths we hold as humans. Throughout the text, it creating a sense of emotion when referring of birth to death, because humans, experience any set of emotion at any state of mind.

    For a lot of families Sunday is the most important day of the week, mine included. At least it was the most important day of the week when I was younger. When I was in elementary school, my family had a Sunday ritual: my mom would cook breakfast, we would go to 10:30 mass and then go to my great-grandmother’s nursing home with my extended family. As I got older and my great-grandmother passed away, we started to go to church less and less, only going to mass about two times a month. As my brother started growing up, our attendance declined even more as my parents often traveled out of town for his basketball, baseball, and football tournaments, making it hard to be present at Sunday mass. For the past couple of years, we have only been going on holidays. With my grandparents being very religious, they do not approve of how little my immediate family and I go to church.…

    David Foster Wallace’s “This is Water” is a commencement speech to a group of graduating college seniors, telling them the harsh truth about life as an adult American. He utilizes this piece to ponder the problem of how and why we as humans view the world in the way we do, regarding our specific viewpoints and respective realities. He thinks upon this problem by analyzing the human psyche’s “default-setting” of being self-absorbed, and how by “learning how to think”, this cycle can be broken, using a commonplace example of a long day of work followed by a trip to the grocery store to showcase how all of us focus upon ourselves and our own intentions (3, 2). He ends up concluding that to live a common American life is “unimaginably hard”, and how we perceive this life and the world around us is what will grant us “awareness of what is real and essential” as we live it (8).…

    Bullying happens when they are not around either of them people and also some kids are too scared to tell their parents because they don’t know how they will act nor do they know if they will stop getting bullied or if it would happen more. The victims of such actions need to understand that they can get out of that situation and also that they can sometimes do it by themselves because being bullied can mess a child up in the long run(Jacobs and McMahon np). The child can become antisocial or become very insecure about themselves, which no child deserves to go through all their lives. Not only do the people that get bullied become very distressed but also the people who witness the action happening can become very uncomfortable and stressed. This isn’t fair to the witnesses either because it can mess with their physical, mental, psychological and social well beings, along with the victim’s well being too. These problems with the victims and witnesses well beings can have a long term effect which isn’t good for either of them (Jacobs and McMahon np). Some of these situations lead to physical threats which are the one of the most common types of bullying. Also, most…

    In today's society it is hard for schools and adults to properly identify and deal with bullying. It is hard to ignore the fact that most bullying goes unnoticed or unreported in schools, a place where adults are constantly present. With the exposure bullying has gotten in recent years people would think that schools have sophisticated methods of dealing with bullying, however this is not the case in most schools. Throughout many schools it can be seen that not enough is done to resolve the bullying and harassment happening on a day to day bases. Many schools work very hard in hopes that one day bullying will end, but it is hard for schools to know what to classify as bullying or harassment, since most of it can start outside of school grounds…

    Bullying has become an epidemic, and it needs to come to an end. If people will stand up for each other and protect each other, I believe bullying would cease to be effective. It preys on those who do not have the confidence to defend themselves. Often times, the bully hurts others as a way of protecting himself. He believes that if he attacks others, then they will not know he himself is hurting, or has been hurt in the past. It becomes a coping mechanism for him. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that bullying should not be responded to with more violence. They need to be shown love, but firm love. A love that says, “I love you enough to not let you continue down this path. Let me show you another way.” Then you are not only l protecting those that the bully hurts, but also you are protecting the bully himself in the long run.…

    Through this class, I also had the opportunity to meet the intern of my class, Naomi. She did a wonderful job in assisting the graduate instructor during class and even better as a mentor by giving advice and extending help outside class hours. Seeing her so passionate and sincere at what she does aspires me to emulate her and help other incoming international freshmen. The past year has been an amazing experience for me and I would love to share it with everyone. I believe or at least I want to be of help for the students and smoothen their transition here at the University. One of the activities which resonated a lot towards me was the discussion on the speech of “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace. I remembered feeling fascinated by…
