Volunteering and community service

  I do not think students should be required to have to volunteer or do community service, and the reason is because mandating community service or volunteer work as a graduation requirement, while well-intentioned, shows several significant drawbacks. One primary concern is the potential of an increased burden on students who are already having to juggle many responsibilities. Highlighted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, many students are employed, and the added time of volunteering can strain the schedules and their finances. This can be especially bad for those who rely on their jobs to support themselves or contribute to their family income. Forcing these students to dedicate additional hours to volunteering may inadvertently harm their academic performance and well-being, creating a harmful situation for those with fewer resources. Furthermore mandatory volunteer work can undermine community service, the intention behind volunteer work is to create personal growth, compassio...

Tariff and why it should end

      People need to protect themselves against the tariffs especially now, or they could risk being hurt. While the economic impact of tariffs is debated in terms that are indeed complex, the reality is far more tangible. The consequences of tariffs are on the consumers, workers, and the seemingly abstract economic policies influence finances against the citizens. The implementation of tariffs, while intended to protect industries that are domestic, ultimately harms all consumers inside the states/ or country by increasing the prices of goods like water and food, limiting consumer’s choices, and necessitating the exploration of alternative economic strategies to safeguard businesses, the government and the people. The main causes of these tariffs are the government wanting to raise revenue, and the government wanting to put political pressure on other states/ countries because “Tariffs serve as a source of income for governments.” (Hahn, 2025) as it explains that the g...

My essay on two authors of the nature

  Both "The Calypso Borealis" an essay by John Muir and "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” a poem by William Wordsworth they both address the fondness of nature and its beauty along with the calmness as well. In "The Calypso Borealis" an essay by John Muir, he decides to write about a journey to find happiness and safety through nature because of the Calypso Borealis which is a white snow-like flower. While in "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” a poem by William Wordsworth wrote about being sad and lonely until he found the daffodils as it was dancing with the breeze which made him feel calm and happy. In "The Calypso Borealis" an essay by John Muir wrote nature as if it were a spiritual presence and a sanctity. “It seems wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has such power over human hearts." This meant that he felt immense love and safety which made him view nature as a great safe place for everyone that goes and enjoys nature. For John Mui...

Who's fault is it? (doctor or patient)?- Devin J. Rollins

The Inevitable Fall of Mufasa: An Analysis of the Tragic Event

In the classic Disney film "The Lion King," one of the most heart-wrenching moments is the death of Mufasa, the wise and noble king of the Pride Lands. Many viewers have pondered the possibility of Mufasa surviving the fall from the cliff during that fateful stampede scene, but upon closer examination, it becomes evident that his survival was indeed implausible due to several critical factors. Height of the Fall: The height from which Mufasa fell was substantial, as depicted in the film. Such a significant fall would have resulted in severe injuries, including trauma to vital organs and bones, making survival highly unlikely. Stampede: Adding to the complexity of the situation was the stampede of wildebeests. The chaotic and violent nature of the stampede would have made it nearly impossible for Mufasa to navigate a safe landing or find a way to escape unscathed. Physical Limitations: Despite Mufasa's strength and agility as a lion, he would have been no match for the she...
