Time Ny 100 Magazine Pros And Cons

570 Words3 Pages

The question arises as to what would be the perfect item that would not only tell America’s current story, but also stand the test of time. I asked myself the same question and after weighing the pros and cons, I came up with the perfect answer, a Time ® 100 magazine. Time, I know it sounds clichéd, but here is the reason why it is the perfect candidate. First, it shows who America considers to be the most influential people of that year. Second, the English language, at its core, will not change. I know there still might be skeptics, but let me elaborate for you.

The Time ® Magazine has done an astounding job of building their reputation. Since 1923, Time has captured some of America’s greatest triumphs, and some of our greatest failures. According to “Consumer Magazine” …show more content…

Out of 25 million readers, 20 million are based in the United States. It would be safe to say, that their reputation precedes them. Time ® 100 consists of 5 categories: Titans, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, and Icons. Based off these 5 categories, whoever opens the capsule would be able to deduce the current mindset of America in 2015-2016. Some might say, why not a CD, Blu-ray ™, or even an iPhone, and as great of question as that is, I would challenge you to think of the longevity of this item. Take for instance the Blu-ray ™. As fast as technology is advancing, there is a strong possibility that when this capsule is open, the technology to play a Blu-ray ™ will be obsolete, and if Blu-ray’s cannot be played, it is hard to believe that CD's would be even a feasible option. Just look at how laptops are designed now. If you have not noticed, they do not even come with a CD player, so I cannot even begin to imagine 20, 30 or even 100 years into the future, what technology would be available to even play these items. Regarding available technology,

On October 22, 1734 the Governor William Cosby ordered for the Public burning of some of John Peter Zenger 's journals entitled: The New York Weekly Journals.

To the Governor this event was looked at as a disturbance of the peace.

The history of the United States of America is vast and complex, encompassing thousands of events that all helped form it into a modern day superpower. When reflecting on the history of America, many historians remind us of major events that changed the course of the country's development. Many authors of these works analyze American historical events through the perspective of the people living through that event or through a 21st-Century viewpoint. However, there are fewer authors who are able to successfully illustrate more about an event than what can be visibly seen or inferred by a reader. Mark Feige, a history professor and writer, is one of the few authors who is able to uncover additional information in American history.

The Overuse of Television Kameron G Loyd BYU-Idaho  During an average week, how much television does the average child watch? Parents, educators, and concerned citizens alike would be appalled at the answer of 1,480 minutes (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). They would also be revolted by the statistic that 54% of four to six year olds would rather spend time watching television instead of spending time with their fathers (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). In 1984, Neil Postman saw how devastating television watching was becoming to the culture of America, and gave a speech to the literary community at the 1984 Frankfort Germany Book Fair entitled “Amusing Ourselves to Death” which deals directly with this monolithic issue. Although the speech and subsequent article, published in Et Cetra, were directed at the publishers, writers, illustrators, etc., all those who read this article can also benefit from Postman’s overarching desire to decrease the hours of mind-numbing television watching.

In this essay, I will be arguing why utopias are not enjoyable to those who live it, only to those who create it. There are many examples of utopias that are awesome for whomever created it, but horrendous for those who must survive there. The House of the Scorpion, “The Most Dangerous Game”, and Adolf Hitler’s utopia were all great for the creator, but not the citizens who must get through the harsh conditions. In The House of the Scorpion, El Patrón creates his own utopia in Opium.

In the modern world, machines such as cell phones, computers, and cars have become necessities. Each unique type of machine contains different parts that work together to function as a whole. Even in history, when cell phones, computers, and cars had not yet been made, events and circumstances revolved around the same “parts working together as a whole” principle. In Founding Brothers The Revolutionary Generation, Joseph J. Ellis analyzes six events in American History that were the result of factors, like people and places, working together to make history. The factors that took place before the six events were crucial to the future of America and its people.

The Inaugural speech by John F. Kennedy is a landmark type of speech that was given to the American populace in order to inspire confidence and to provoke them to take immediate action.

Kennedy details “a new generation of Americans” by contrasting old and new with his antithesis. He states, “Symbolizes an end as well as a beginning” and “signifies renewal as well as change” in order to do so.
