  • Emotional Journey: A Pair of Michael Jordan's Shoes

    1069 Words  | 3 Pages

    When you see this beautiful, comfortable, high top black and white pair of sneakers, you see greatness. You can wear them with a suit, or play basketball games in them, or be like me, and just want them forever. The shoes are size 7, and they weigh no more than three ounces. The stitching is so perfectly straight and pearly that it resembles models’ teeth. The laces are jet black like the eyes of a demon. However, with just eyesight you can’t tell the wonderful details of this shoe. You have to put them on, and you have to run around in them. The soles are very thin yet so soft and squishy, as if you were walking on clouds. This shoe is the 9th edition of Michael Jordan’s signature shoe to come out in stores. Have you ever had many friends that were wealthier than you? Have you ever went to school and played in the same shoes with holes in them? Have you ever gone to school with the same shoes two years in a row? Exactly. I have, and it’s not a good feeling when being talked down to. Bullying got on my nerves, so I just got into fights. With everything bad was happening in my life from my mother going to jail, and me barely having clothes on my back, as crazy as it may seem, all I wanted was a pair of Jordan’s.

    The article, “The World Is Not Falling Apart” by Steven Pinker and Andrew Mack published by Slate, reminds the world not to focus on the media’s perception of our corrupt world, but rather look closely and evaluate what true measures of violence unfolding each day. Humans’ perception of the world is based off of the media, which states the earth is in a process of deteriorating. However, if one focuses on the trend lines instead of the headline, one would figure out that the world has never been in such a peaceful era. In the article, Bill Clinton was recorded stating to “follow the trend lines, not the headlines”, this means to take breakdown what information is being presented to the world each day and simplify it to our own judgment (para. 6).

  • Scopes Trial Analysis

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since the Scopes Trials came to a close, the Supreme Court enforced the teaching no of evolution in all public schools across the US in 1987. The interesting part was that most people believe that the Supreme Court had banned the teachings of creationism, but the decision stated that creation is no more than how life began (“Teaching Creation,” 2010). The case that made the decision, Edwards vs. Aguillard, actually allow public schools to teach either creation or evolution, as long as the teacher does not mention God in the picture. This fact can depict one’s belief in God and how humans came to the form that humanity is in today. The belief of creationism is correct, rather than evolution, because the belief proves the existence of God.

  • The Promise Analysis

    1797 Words  | 4 Pages

    In today’s society, men and women are constantly doing what others find acceptable yet ignoring what they truly desire. This is evident in Frank Pearce’s chapter, “Fatalism” in The Radical Durkheim and C. W. Mills’ chapter, “The Promise” in The Sociological Imagination as both men place great emphasis on the fact that our awareness of our everyday lives whether we are succeeding or failing affect how we behave and react to daily stressors (Mills 1959:1). However, Pearce’s Durkheimianism exceeds what Mills’ calls the “sociological imagination” by demonstrating that all walks of life suffer no matter their employment or social ranking, but in very different ways. Additionally, Pearce’s explanation on fatalism
