1. My Daily Life
How can you make changes to your daily life? Many people have struggled on how to change their
life. Daily life can be busy. Slight changes may be hard but it can lead to good things. Some people
do not know how to do that and others are afraid of the future. If they change their lives, some
people do not have goals in life and they do not want to change it. So, I want to share some tips that
will help you to achieve this goal. First, you need to find an unhealthy habit in your daily life like
spending a long time on social media. Social media is not very bad if we use it in a beneficial way
but, not for a very long time, as this will be reflected in your life. It will take you away from real life
like your family. It is stealing time that you can use for yourself and your family. In this article, I
want to help you onto know how to arrange your life better and use time wiser, how to make a more
peaceful life for yourself, and how to be an example to your closest people and the community. Your
past life can bring stress to your present if you keep it living with you. Like if something negative
from the past– something someone said, something someone did is still in your mind that will bring
stress to your present life. Some people are still living in the past and have regrets about what
happened or what was planned. Some people were unable to pass the circumstances in their past life.

3. The Influence of Books on the Past and Present Literacy
The article describes the influence of religious books such as the bible on the past and present states
of literacy. Past literacy based on religious books shows the origin of the biblical practices of
exorcism and the culture of Protestantism in England. It describes the superstitions surrounding the
early forms of education and the difficulty they bring as regards the understanding of religious
books. The article shows that the understanding of the bible influenced the present state of literacy
by introducing prudence and enlightenment. The article is important in the research as it will
provide enough information on how the western culture has reformed the present literacy by
drawing its roots from protestant Christianity.
The article describes how the past literacy played an important role in adult education. For instance,
the educators linked several issues to past literacy and adult education. The bone of contention
emerges between the impact of theory and practice on policy making. The research provides the
basis of how the three coexist in the world of literacy. It provides the platform where literacy meets
adult education. The aspect of literacy in this context relates to classrooms, workplaces, cyberspace,
and tutorial sessions. The scholar article is important as it will provide a basis for understanding
how the past literacy practices evolved into present literacy on the issue of adult education. More
importantly, it links policy making to literacy.

5. Comparing 'In The Penal Colony And Annie Proulx'
When comparing the past and present together there are definitely many differences. Humans are
constantly progressing and these new inventions or ideas have their advantages and disadvantages.
Franz Kafka's short story, "In The Penal Colony" and Annie Proulx's article, "Inspiration? Head
Down the Back Road, and Stop for the Yard Sales" both demonstrate the idea that holding onto the
past is very beneficial but at the same time it's best to let go and progress. Proulx is totally against
using the Internet as a reliable source when it comes to research. She enjoys "digging" and
discovering new information. Technology is what keeps humans going nowadays but Proulx stated
that the process of using the Internet was "cumbersome and detestable."

Every learning experience in your life is significantly important, even the old experiences you've
had in the past can be extremely influential. One of the learning experiences that I have had in the
past was learning to play chess. Learning to play chess was an important learning experience,
because when playing chess I had to learn to think ahead. Learning to think ahead while playing
chess translates to help me realize the importance of trying to be prepared for multiple types of
situations as well being able to react and adapt to unexpected situations in life. Another experience

If there was a world where no one knew what took place a century ago, how the Earth was created,
or what life was like before urban cities, would society be better off? There has only been one
answer: no. How would the human race learn without memory? How would students make the right
decisions? How would everyone remember feelings? We wouldn't. Memory is the only way to hang
onto those precious moments that humanity wishes would come back. Memory is also sometimes
bad, nevertheless, that shapes everyone into how they are. But what could humans do without
something like reminiscence?
People can answer operose dilemmas by looking for what others in comparable situations. It helped
them to do what they thought was right. For example, if a president wanted to know how to stop a
war, he could look back to a previous war, and see what techniques they used to win. The

23. Analysis Of A Sound Of Thunder
The Main Argument:
The most powerful part of Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder", is the interconnectivity
between past, present, future, and every living and non–living things on the face of the planet. It
explains how deeply every element of the earth is connected and depend on one another and so are
past, present, and the future. Every step we take is going to affect all beings in all four corners of the
earth. This shows the interconnectivity between humans, their actions, other living beings, and the
natural habitats. Bradbury reveals, how present past and future is tightly connected. Every small
action we take will have a huge impact on the future. This story paints a live picture of how a small
action can have a massive impact on our future.

Bradbury himself was a visionary person who believed in the possibility of time travel and some
human's ill nature. He wanted to picture, how distractive human can be. So, with his book A Sound
of Thunder, he showed us the outcome of some of our selfish desires. I think, his main goal was to
express how everything on the planet is tightly connected. At the same time, he wanted to say, how
technology can be used for bad and destructive means. Bradbury's story is also a gripping

Bluetooth Technology– Past, Present, and Future
History
Bluetooth technology was the creation of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. This groups was
founded by five major corporations from different countries to develop communication system that
could be used world–wide. Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Intel, and Toshiba, founded the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) in February of 1998. (Morrow, 2002) Microsoft, 3Com, Lucent, and Motorola
later joined the group in December 1999. Now the group of nine members is called SIG Promoters.
There are no plan as of now to add any other member to the group. (Morrow, 2002)
Bluetooth is named after the 10th century Viking king Harald Blatand, who conquered all of
Denmark and Norway and converted the Danes to Christianity. (Aardsma, 2001) The king was
known for his desire to snack on blueberries and his ability to unite the warring factions that is now
known as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. (Newstex, 2012) The idea that the blueberries caused his
teeth to turn blue is not confirmed. But his ability to unite different people groups inspired the SIG
to use the name "Bluetooth."
Development
Low cost communication technology that uses little power was the reason Bluetooth was developed.
Developers wanted to be able to connect devices from different manufactures and with different
purposes, such as computers from Apple and mice from Microsoft. At low cost and a secure

From the beginning of time, humans have been developing physically and mentally into the

evolved from its original state. Some life–changing events occurred last year, or maybe centuries

"THE HISTORIAN'S TASK IS TO UNDERSTAND THE PAST; THE HUMAN SCIENTIST, BY
CONTRAST, IS LOOKING TO CHANGE THE FUTURE."
TO WHAT EXTENT IS THIS TRUE IN THESE AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE?
The historian's task of developing an understanding of the past involves the study of the human past
as described in the written documents and objects left by human beings related to a particular point
or period in time. However, there is always the problem of authenticity of evidence and the
interpretation of events that may or may not be accurate or relevant. Over time more and different
evidence often appears and must be evaluated and compared to existing sources and their
interpretation. Human science puts human experience in context and its aim is to explain human
behavior by creating theories to predict it and then solve problems identified by those predictions
considering them in terms of human self–knowledge that allows us to understand ourselves as
people. It is very important for us as people to know ourselves: where knowing who we are and
where we stand means knowing the things that distinguish us from other people, by knowing our
true nature as humans.
The value of history is that it teaches us what man has done is. We consider history as a journal of

Todays education has changed in many ways over the years. From the behavior of student's caused
by different parenting skills, how teachers teach their classes as well as student's ability to use
fundamentals, media and technology all play a role in how the world of education has evolved.
Robin Lawrence a thirteen year veteran teacher now a curriculum specialist at Bellaire Elementary
has a good insight into how the educational system has changed over time.
Past and present behavior have differed between the generations. Behavior in the past was much
better. In the past children did not have adult problems placed on them. Past parents had better
control to allow their children to be young. Past generations of parents did not have a lack of
parenting skills. Children were allowed to be carefree, unlike in the present day generations. Today's
generations have adult problems caused by poor or lack of parenting and therefore their behavior
reflect this. The poor behavior of today's generations has affected their education. The poor behavior
of one student affects the whole class. Mrs. Lawrence stated, "Student behavior was much better
when I attended school than the behaviors I see in students present day.'' When asking Mrs.
Lawrence why she felt that student's behavior was better in the past than in the present she stated
that " Students have so many adult burdens placed on then it is very difficult for them to be a child.

Many times we think what issues in the past have nothing to do with what happens today.
Sometimes problems back–then compared to now are "over–rated" but that's not true at all. During
the 20th century, people started to view life in a different perspective and were changing their
attitudes. Slowly, people started to change their clothing, hair, music styles and opinions. This was a
century of different opinions and change. Some issues in the past during the 20th century still apply
to us today. A issue that came up was the parties. F. Scott Fitzgerald called it a time when "the

The technology in nineteenth century is referred to the practical arts used to create physical products

everything involved in satisfying human material wants. In this we can see the concepts and

Out of many technologies I would like to choose "File Sharing Technology" which is a product of
engineering science to study the natural world. File sharing has been an element of centralized
server and multi–client PC frameworks for a long time. With the appearance of the Internet, a
document exchange framework called the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has turn out to be broadly
utilized. FTP can be utilized to get to (peruse and potentially keep in touch with) records shared
among a specific arrangement of clients with a watchword to get entrance to documents shared from
a FTP server site. Numerous FTP destinations offer open record sharing or possibly the capacity to
view or duplicate documents by downloading them, utilizing an open watchword (which happens to
be "mysterious"). Most Web webpage designers use FTP to transfer new or changed Web documents
to a Web server, and for sure the World Wide Web itself can be considered as extensive scale record
partaking in which asked for pages or records are continually being downloaded or replicated down
to the Web client.
However, file sharing implies a system in which client keep in touch with and in additional read
files or in which clients are dispensed some measures of space for individual records on a typical
server, offering access to different client as they see fit. The recent sort of record sharing is basic in

Arthur Miller, A play writer in the twentieth century, wrote a play entitled Death of a salesman that

year old salesman that undergoes through lack of success in his life and sees the same thing
happening ,to his two grown sons now in their mid–thirties, as the American dream faded away
being replaced by capitalism in the late 1940s. The play starts of by introducing Willy Loman, the

Willy is offered help by his friend Charley, a successful Business man, Willies all time friend and
only friends he has left, when Charley offers Willy a job, yet willy full of pride and envious of
Charley rejects it yet does not rejects it but continues to borrow money from him. This is due to
Willies flaw in his desire of being higher in society than anyone else.Willy cannot let go of the past
and continuously refers to 1928, when his career was at its peak. His withdrawal into the past is a
defense mechanism as he refuses to come to terms with his failure as a salesman. His illusions of
grandeur lead to fierce exaggerations of himself. He tells Biff to "Go to Filene's go to the Hub, go to
Slattery's, Boston. Call out the name Willy Loman and see what happens! Big shot!" (Miller, 62). He
refuses to realize his personal failures and falsely believes that he is successful. Memories of a
happier past Willy losing a grip on reality and on time escapes into the past. Despite his desperate
searching through his past, The deep probing of dreams and memories in Death of A Salesman
where quite important in illustrating Miller's point. Willy is a man stuck in the past reminiscing
about times when things where good fabrication of those times really were as good as he imagines

This source expresses its view on impacts of historical globalization on contemporary society. The
perspective of this source clearly states that historical globalization is not relevant or needed in
current society. Elements of the source explain how society should not "spend time dwelling on
events or legacies of globalization that can not be changed." It is clear that the author of this source
has reason to believe that history should not affect the way our world is run today. The perspective
presented in the source illustrates that historical globalization is a very complex issue. One
perspective suggests that historical globalization should remain in the past because we should not be
wasting time on events of the past and focus on the present and the future. Others, however, believe
that history is relevant to the present and is important in today's society. In evaluating the issue, it is
clear there are both positives and negatives to historical globalization in contemporary society
because it prevents history from repeating itself, allows us to improve upon ourselves, but also
prevents us from focusing on the future.
Historical globalization is important in today's society, as it prevents troubled times from repeating.

Remember the days of the Old West? The women walked around with their parasols or rode in a
horse drawn carriage and the men rode fast and furious on their horses. Everything you needed was
right there in town: the saloon, the general store, and the barber. When one needed to get
somewhere, they would walk. If they needed to travel far, there were steam–powered locomotives.
As towns and cities grew larger, it was not so convenient to walk everywhere. There was a need for
a machine that could get us around to where we had to go. Technology was becoming a bigger part

Environmentalists would argue that cars "would eject large amounts of unpleasant gases into the air,
such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide" (Wilson 304). Energy experts would
be afraid of using to much fuel. In short, there would be a strong resistance to the thought of an
automobile being built.
Wilson argues that without cars, we would have to live very close together in apartments and row
houses so that we could walk to public transportation depots. He also says that we would miss
seeing the beaches and the countryside except for an occasional glimpse from a bus or train window.
We would have city upon city. Still, the car haters tell us that with the use of bikes and public
transportation we will have less pollution, noise and our energy is used more efficiently. Well what
about the benefits? Wilson states "The automobile is more flexible, more punctual, supplies greater
comfort, provides for carrying more parcels, creates more privacy, enables one to select fellow
passengers, and, for distances over a mile or more, requires less travel time" (308). So to those that
reject the notion of an automobile, Wilson says, "The car does exist, and has powerfully affected the
living, working, and social spaces of America" (304).

The World of Google Society experiences new forms of technology every day that help make the
lives of many individuals easier. Throughout the personal essay Is Google Making Us Stupid? by
Nicholas Carr, the author discusses his belief on how the internet is slowly filling people with false
information. Carr starts of by expressing how the internet is causing him to have issues with
focusing, such as not being able to remain completely focused while reading a book. Carr mentions
how his life has become completely surrounded by the internet and feels it is the blame for him not
being able to connect with a piece of writing. However, he later states that he sees the internet as
being useful for it has allowed for quick access to information that is essential to his writing. This
holds true for society in general, as the internet has allowed for individuals to have necessary
information at their fingertips. Carr's essay about the negative impact internet has on individual
thought is reinforced by two similar articles that discuss the effects of the internet on society.
As technology evolves, the amount of information that individuals are subjected to at any given time

My grandma's name is Usha Patel and she currently is 66 years old. She was born in Umalla, India

Almost everyone at some point in their life has experienced what appears to be love whether it be
towards a parent, family member, or significant other. Just as fate is a popular concept in our
readings, love can also be seen in nearly any story. One story in particular that features this concept
is the Iliad by Homer. The story revolves around a prince from Troy stealing the wife of a Greek
king who he appears to love. This love drives the two nations to go to war with the warrior Achilles
eventually killing Hector in the end with a blow to the "gullet offered swift and certain death" (p.
266). Another story in which love is a prominent aspect is Oedipus the King in which the love of his
wife as well as the shame brought by his wife being his mother leads him to gouge out his own eyes.

literature and popular culture as well with Oedipus's action being a prime example. The concept of

75. Walter Benjamin and the past disassociating with present
In Walter Benjamin's Berlin Childhood Around 1900, he applies a variety of concepts with respect
to time: past, present, and future. The concepts are highlighted in his vignettes: "Victory Column",
"The Telephone", and "Butterfly Hunt". Benjamin attempts to imbue his writing with a different
structure of time from what was conventional. He perceives history as a section of moments, and
each moment is an integral whole in its own right, making it equal to the present (Knights).
Benjamin also notes that the ignoring of the past and the focus on the progression of the future
causes harmful effects to nature (Knights). The concept of technological progress appears to give
grounds for the domination and abuse of nature (Patke). Subsequently, ... Show more content on

Even though Benjamin attributes a sense of delight to his image of the "Victory Column", there is
also a contrasting affect of death that permeates through the vignette. There is a portico around the
Victory Column, but it is when Benjamin asserts that "this portico was itself the inferno" a sense of
death becomes apparent. It is evident that Benjamin wants to spotlight the darkness around the
column. It seems that Benjamin is using this past image to illustrate a sense of responsibility for the
innocently suffered of past generations. Benjamin is placing a redemptive quality to the death of the
past individuals. There is a sense of redemption embedded in his past. Benjamin wants it visible that
the Victory is surrounded by death, which is analogous of his present situation. Sigmund Freud
agrees with Benjamin's reluctance on war as he states war "Broke out, and it brought– disillusion"
(Freud 172) and that "A future war, because of such great advances in the means of destruction,
would mean the extermination of one or perhaps both adversaries. (Freud 231). If Germany in
Benjamin's present is to obtain a Victory in its oppressive endeavor, it is through mass death, which
is proven through the past. Thus, the "Victory Column" depicts Benjamin's past delights before his
innocence was corrupted by the future, and an example of how studying the past and its follies can
save immense death.

Imaginative Thinking: How it Leads to Authentic and Effective Living
Oprah Winfrey stated that "to be present is to be fully alive. And there is no true life without
presence." While this can be arguably true, it can also be proven wrong. There are different
perspectives on what is considered to be the real world and "true living". One must ask, what does it
mean to be living in the present? Does it mean to be fully engaged in the current moment or doing
what brings happiness? There are different opinions on this idea, one being that it is harmful for one
not to live in the present and another being that the use of counterfactual thinking can benefit one's
life. In "Alone Together," Sherry Turkle discusses how using technology to escape reality is
detrimental to the authenticity of relationships. She stated that in order to have a genuine
relationship, there should be more interaction within the real world. In the same manner, Janet
Flammang in " The Taste for Civilization: Food, Politics, and Civil Society," explains how the
avoidance of face–to–face communication can cause a lack of connection with the real world.
However, in "Possible Worlds: Why Do Children Pretend?"Alison Gopnik argues that while
referring back to counterfactuals can be harmful, it can also be helpful. Counterfactuals allow us to
live in the past rather than fully living in the present. Focusing on the past can be beneficial to the
present because past experiences can help aid upcoming endeavors.
