Vegetarianism: How Broccoli and Carrots Can Save the World How can a vegetarian diet reduce pollution everywhere and improve physique and mental ability? Vegetarianism is proven to be healthier for the body and mind (Huffington Post), but how can it also help the earth? How can vegetarianism help the world in every aspect possible? It can reduce pollution around the world and help the body. Vegetarianism can also sustain people on a healthier lifestyle. People could still get their protein requirements from beans and things of such. Since meat has been proven to give you cancer. But why do we need to be vegetarian? World pollution is at an all time high, and humans are becoming more unhealthy by the decade. One way we could solve both of these issues would be vegetarianism. If world pollution keeps increasing, and climate change gets about +2 degrees celsius, there could be irreversible changes done to the climate and our atmosphere. This problem needs to be controlled inde...

How can malnutrition affect mental ability? When people think of malnutrition they think of a starving african village. However in reality malnutrition can, and pretty much does affect everyone even in very wealthy communities. My solution to better educate people in what their body requires and what isn’t healthy for them. Another part of this would be to try to get rid of unhealthy foods at an easy disposal

Important Dates in the Civil Rights Movement.

By Anonymous -
The civil rights movement was one of the most important moments in recent American history. As the time period lasted for a few decades, I have compiled a list of the most important dates. May 17th, 1954. This was the day Brown sued the board of education in order to repeal all segregated schools December 1st, 1955. On this day, Rosa parks started the Montgomery bus protest after being arrested for sitting in the front of a bus. September 27th, 1957. President Eisenhower sent in the 101st Airborne decided, comprised of WW2 veterans, to guard children on their way to school. February 1st, 1960. 4 college students begin a sit-down lunch protest in North Carolina April 3rd, 1963. Birmingham protests begin August 28th, 1963.

"Books"

"What is the most TRANSFORMATIONAL book you have ever read and why?" I don't read if I do not have to, so this question is particularly hard. If I can cheat and use a movie based on a book, I would have to say, Forrest Gump. Between Buba and Jenny, Forrest Gump showed to me that not everything is permanent. It also showed to me that life could throw basically anything at you, from weird love complex to being drafted. Forrest, in his own somewhat childish view of the world, I found related to me the first time seeing the movie as a seven-year-old, as I too, didn't really understand what death or love was. It really is a great tale and I would recommend it to anyone of all ages.

The new deal was a national program designed to help the economy of the United States during the great depression. Even though this was intended to help people close to a century ago, it is very much helpful today. Such examples of this are social security act and relief for the needy. The social security law helps people who have worked their entire lives and makes sure they are financed in the later stages of their life. Even though there have been some issues with social security, such as the entire Republican party trying to repeal it, and being used for identifying theft, it still overall helps elderly people. The relief for the needy helps individuals who can not buy themselves food by providing soup kitchens. Not only is this ideal for feeding people, but it also shows off the goodness of humans as they volunteer to feed the needy out of their own joy. The agriculture act helps the farmers by subsidieing them and there fore helping the economy grow and helping the...

Museum of Tolerance

Last Friday, we went to the museum of tolerance. Yes, it was moving. Yes, it was hard. Yes, we became waterfalls of tears. My great-grandparents having been in the Holocaust, it profoundly affected me to have seen all the atrocities that happened and how they did. Entering the museum, the first thing that caught our attention was a large spiral in the middle of the building. Later as we went down the spiral, we saw pictures of people along the sides. Our tour guide, Walter (who's daughter owns the Hawks), was an old, crippled man from Chicago. He had traveled to Europe to study the Nazi history, visiting sites such as Auschwitz. In his words, "All these pictures you have seen. All these pictures of men, women, and children. All these people were survivors of the Holocaust. All of these humans were a side-effect of what men can do to their fellow men."  The last sentence hit me like a brick. History has a tendency to repeat itself. Take the world wars as an example. Or th...

Lessons learned from war

By Anonymous -

To make this clear, I am writing a poem as the boots of the soldiers in the American civil war.                 Lessons Learned from War The horrors I have seen Oh the horrors I can feel From the corpses of the young To the hopes of the masses, which will never heal The gunpowder in the lungs The blood on our hands The travesty on the land Many of which only upset. Families have been torn apart Hopes are breaking, along with hearts. Headed nowhere, lives wasted, Don't let our mistakes repeat. Don't let our idiocy became an art.
