(Scheid‚ 2009) Christians can make a difference in the environment if all the churches in the United States rallied together to promote environmental restoration. I’m aware that our environmental issues are extreme; however‚ if you have a large organization such as the church pushing the cause to its congregants‚ I believe we will begin to see a difference in those who make conscious decisions that will attribute to the restoration of our environment

this country just nine years ago makes me wonder where I stand. Technically‚ I am no longer an immigrant because I am a citizen and I am able to vote‚ and I feel as though I have gone through a quick process of assimilation along with my siblings. Even though we have assimilated‚ in our household‚ we still speak our own language‚ hold our traditions and values of own culture as we did when we came to this country.

What makes good people do bad things? Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison experiment was to study the behavior of normal people under a particular situation. The students who took part in the experiment would play the role of either guard or a prisoner in a mock prison. Most of the students that played as the guards of the mock prison became very cruel as they abused their power and authority over the prisoners.

everyone can make a difference. I highly dislike when I hear my peers saying “I’m only one person‚ how can I do anything?” I think that’s what the problem is with some of my generation. Everyone thinks that they’re just one person and there’s just seven billion other ones out there who will do the work. They think “those other people won’t litter or they’ll recycle or finish the food that’s on their plate so I should’t have to.” Realizing this from an early age I was determined to go against what everyone

Anyone Can Make A Difference There is no such thing as a perfect world although we continue to try and make it seem that way. Mankind has dreamt about making this wish a reality for many centuries yet has failed in its attempts. This concept along with the failure it carries exists because no one man or women can entirely change the world we live in. No two people are alike so therefore how can millions of individuals be expected to have the same exact motives or desires. In contrast‚ the reality

My topic is about what makes a hero. What makes a hero is ability to help out in their community. Heroes are those who put their life on the line in 911. Those people where true heroes. If I ask you to list some heroes in your heart‚ I bet you can list a lot. Yes‚ there are many heroes near or distant from us. But if I ask you what a “hero” is‚ what will you say? It’s a kind of hard to give a definition‚ isn’t it? When I check on the dictionary‚ it says a hero is a person who distinguished by courage

It would have served its purpose. Instead‚ we have two and six week diet plans which help women to lose a small amount of weight (usually less than 10 pounds) to soon regain it with even more.

What makes a Family It was three o’clock in the morning on a cold spring night in 1988. My parents woke me up and told me it was time to get ready to go to the airport. We were leaving Russia to move to the United States. My grandparents‚ aunts‚ uncles and cousins had moved to the United States a few years back. I was ecstatic to be once again reunited with my relatives especially with my cousin Yana who I was very close to. I jumped out of bed with so much excitement; I can almost see my heart

“What does not kill us makes us stronger.” Said by Friedrich Nietzsche who was a German philosopher. Personally‚ I totally agree with this opinion. In everyone’s life‚ hardship is inevitable which usually makes people suffer painfully. For the short term hardship seems a negative thing that no one would want it. However‚ adversity does bring some benefits for the ones who try to fight against it. For one thing‚ everyone has his or her own potential to deal with difficulties competently that even
