Separation is a serious force for most people. Many believe that it always causes loneliness and depression in people. However, this is not always true, because there may be times when people can learn to cope with separation in various situations. These situations range from a mother leaving her kids in daycare and going through a divorce, to moving to a new place and learning to settle in. Regardless of the circumstances, people should always learn how to cope with separation and survive independently.
The effects of isolation are also shown in an article by Harvard Medical School. The author shares the frightening effects of isolation on a person. They state, “People who feel lonely (disconnected from others) have been shown to have faster rates of cognitive decline than people who don’t feel lonely loneliness
This isolation from other people, even their parents, has resulted in the lost of emotions.
Isolation is the process or fact of being alone. Isolation can be needed at times but is not good all the time. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor began to go crazy with too much isolation, but when around family he wanted to be isolated due to the high stress. An example of this is when Victor felt that he was responsible for two murders and went to wonder in the valley. Isolation is needed because it gives a person time to reflect and gather themselves.
Isolation is defined as the separation from others whether it is physically or emotionally. It can also be a choice or it can be imposed upon you. A lot of people in the world feel isolated because of their emotions. They could be holding a secret, or guilt. People can also feel physically isolated because they are alienated whether it be from their appearance, social status, or some action that caused them to be a plague to society.
Isolation is commonly attributed to negative connotations, which is a fair assumption given how it is portrayed in popular culture. However, loneliness and isolation can in fact become powerful avenues for the attainment of positive or productive attributes. Furthermore, isolation breaks societal norms and allows an individual to obtain peace with oneself. Isolation is utilized as a means of positive self-development and discovery that allows one to reflect upon their behaviour and life. This is accomplished through the usage of isolation as a method of reaching transcendence, the ability to adapt isolation into a period of self-reflection, and the utilization of isolation as motivation for various personal endeavours.
With that in mind, it is now time to explore the various other factors to which connect my personal experience with the police and Freire’s ideas on the banking and problem-solving methods. And to do that, one must be able to understand my past life before the incident, more specifically, during my time in Eliot Middle School. During my time in middle school, I was part of the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation, where I would constantly interact with different sheriff officers within Altadena. Of course, I now know that there is a difference between a sheriff and a police officer, but at the time, I simply thought they were one in the same. Not only that, but I would constantly watch and consume all sorts of media including the police.
There is a moment where you have to step out from your comfort zone. Throughout my high school, I have encountered a number of opportunities to be a leader. I have shown my leadership through participating in math team, becoming a class senate, and also being part of a family. Being a member in math team gave me an opportunity to learn both winning and losing and how to overcome with it. My math team teacher used to say “you learn from losing than winning.
As humans there is a set of things we can do intrinsically and a set of things we cannot do. In between lies an infinite spectrum of things some of us can and some cannot do. Some of these abilities are rare, while others pervasive. Swimming fits in that gray area, but it seems – at least to this native Californian boy – farther on the pervasive side. Everyone knows the secret to effortlessly defying Archimedes’ Principle of buoyancy, yet somehow I was left out.
Anxiety replenished me when this essay was commenced as a responsibility, that I needed to accomplish. Writing is my specialty, but I did not think it would be this stressful, writing down so much information, Will I win? , Will this drop my grade if the judges don’t like it?, and more importantly, Will I win the contest? I already have so much homework on my plate from being an honors student. But I knew that as I journeyed through I can make it because failure is not acceptable and I’ll try my hardest even if it means I die of stress trying.
When I walked into the journalism lab on the first day of school, I was clearly in a disarray, but, then again, so was The Raiders’ Digest. I was, after all, a dazed freshman. In retrospect, however, I realize that this probably was one of the most significant moments of my high school career - it was the day I found a passion, but, most importantly, it was the day I found a home. My school newspaper, on that day and for many days prior, had been in a state of deterioration, slowly regressing in terms of content, resources, and, primarily, interest.
Part of my childhood was spent in Charlotte, the golden preschool years as I like to call them. Most of that time was spent sailing on Lake Wylie, and general toddler nonsense. I have always looked back fondly on those years, which is probably why Davidson felt so warm and familiar. I lived in a similar town, on a similar lake, and in the same city. Davidson feels like an old home, complete with the gorgeous lake for sailing, and the city where my parents would take me on the weekends, and where my little sister was born.
In a world that idolizes technological advancement, it is easy to rely on it for almost everything. We go to work and school online, we shop online, and we socialize online, amongst other things. We’ve even implemented technology into basic human necessities. Smoke detectors, alarm systems, and even ventilation systems can now be controlled with apps. However, I believe that digital technology is not something we should implement to that extent.
“Number four is seventeen, five is false, and six is true.” my teacher drones on. We are going over our tests that we took yesterday. She is telling us the answers so we can see what we did wrong and if she made any mistakes. On my paper, number five I answered ‘true’
Prologue People say I don’t think, well sometimes I think, most times I dream. I dream of things of unimaginable beauty, in colors so indescribably vivid, other’s can only imagine what I see. People have heard rumors, rumors that I don’t feel a single emotion. They are tragically wrong, I feel every emotion known to man, I feel them with an intensity that no one else experiences.
