Hi I am Daisy Buchanan and I am here today to talk to you about my opinion on why people may think it is important to understand significant moments. I however do not agree with this statement. Personally I believe that people should just live in the moment and forget about the past so it doesn’t drag you down in the future. I don’t see the point in dwelling on what happened and have it affect the way you live your life. Just do you, and live your life the way you choose and make a routine of

Mathematics as an Adult Math may seem like an unimportant and often confusing subject for many students, but it happens to be a necessity for the future.

Erich Maria Remarque in All Quiet on the Western Front shows of us of the terrifying moments in war and how the men survive through it. The important scene that struck me was when a man named Behm was the first person to be killed. Paul recalls his schoolmaster, Kantorek, a fiercely patriotic man who persuaded many of Paul’s friends to enlist as volunteers to prove their patriotism. Joseph Behm, one such young man, was hesitant but eventually gave in to Kantorek’s unrelenting pressure. It

Another important function of independent media is to serve as a “watchdog” over the government and other powerful institutions in society. The media is able to expose the truth behind the claims of the government and hold public officials accountable for their actions. Freedom of expression is thus not only important for individual dignity but also to participation, accountability and democracy. Different countries around the

Politics The Question: Assess the view that freedom is ‘freedom to self-realisation’. ! Freedom is a frequently-used term whatever in the spheres of life or in the political realms, and it means by numerous different things. Roughly, freedom can be split up into two categories: positive freedom (freedom ‘to’) and negative freedom (freedom ‘from’). The separation of liberty into this binary framework could be at least traced back to Kant1, which was articulated by Fromm in his 1941 work
