Americans should say something to someone with a higher power to change the problem they are having an issue with, so he or she can benefit from the change. An example from the essay, Buckley and his wife went to the movie theaters and the movie was out of focus.

Through the synchronization of social media with the process of death, ritualistic theories held by Barry that “death is an occasion for scandal and entertainment” becomes increasingly difficult to accept (261). Excerpts from the song, Hell You Talmbout, which catalogs the numerous and reprehensible accounts of African-Americans that have lost their lives to police brutality, is an example of this. With hints of African tribal music playing steadily in the background, the song repeats lines such as: Eric Garner, Say his name Eric Garner, Say his name Trayvon Martin, Say his name Trayvon Martin, Say his name Sean Bell, Say his name Sean Bell, Say his name to emphasize through the process of physically and mentally processing their name, that
According to Jim Collins, author of Good to Great explains that competitiveness lies in a company's unique skills and resources which provide goods, services and products to implement strategies that competitors cannot implement as effectively. This also allows any company as a whole to understand its competitiveness within the industry it operates and this forms a critical part of any business and its operations.

You may have seen the new hobbit movies in recent years, where the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who doesn't like leaving the comforts of home goes on a journey and learns there is a lot more to life than just staying at home. This is an example of a story of initiation. Other popular examples of stories of initiation are “ Young Goodman Brown” and “ I want to Know Why” which are both stories of initiation, where the protagonist learns people aren't always as nice as they seem.

James 4:13-16 stands out as a strange departure from what has been the focus of the previous two chapters. Notice what he wrote. "Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit'; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
We Want You The poem Plato Told by E.E. Cummings illustrates the character of a soldier's thoughts which could be agreeable to the idea of war but how ultimately war results in death. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque sends the subtle message of the reality of war and how losing one's life isn't as honorable as it is presented to be. Remarque shows this reality by the experiences he gives the main character and other soldiers in order to argue against war and build accusations against those who promote it. Remarque paints a very drastic and probably quite accurate picture of war.

Madison Christensen Essay #2 A Method to the Madness In Descartes’ First Meditation titled “Of the Things which we may Doubt,” he begins by noting that he has been wrong about a lot of things as well as that he has reasoned from these false beliefs to equally false conclusions. Descartes continues by identifying himself as a foundationalist.
