Influence Matters: Becoming Who We Are “Be careful what you say and do, you never know who is watching you!” "Be careful who you look up to, you will begin to mimic their actions and attitudes!" We all have had someone say these words to us throughout our lives, but sometimes we wonder if it is true. Does influence truly have an impact on me? Is there really anyone that is watching me and looking up to me? Whether we realize it or not, influence plays a huge role in our everyday lives. Others influence us daily, but we also are the influence to someone else. Influence is the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something or the effect itself. Influence begins are a young age. We learn to mimic others when we are only a few months old. Learning to smile, raise our eyebrows, and make funny faces is all a part of influence. When we learn to talk, the words we say are from what we hear. When we copy what we hear, we are talking…

everyday language register to describe a lady. In the poem he calls for the painter Fragonard, this is why we can say that the lady that he describes in his poem is the woman pictured in “The Swing”, a rococo picture from 1767. This poem does not follow a special rhyme meter, but the repetition of sounds rhyme. As Ezra Pound said in his article ‘A Few Dont’s by an Imagiste’: “Don’t chop your stuff into separate iambs. Don’t make each line stop dead at the end, and then begin every next line with…

aware of it or not. Religion gives a value base to go by and therefore it affects the way we treat others and expect to be treated. Sunday Mass at a Catholic Church incorporates the Bible, prayer, sacrifice, hymns, symbols, gestures, and sacred food that show us how to live a Catholic life all in one ceremony. The Mass is mostly the same in all Catholic Church’s. In my Church there is greeters at the door to greet you as you enter for Sunday Mass. One of the first things Catholics do when…

different aspects of our individual life. These aspects are; the way in which you look after your body; the way in which you process and express emotions; the clarity and relevance of your thoughts and words; your ability to give and receive love; and your openness to higher values and a more spiritually inclined way of life. Personal development groups have tended to involve an 'expert/guru ' and, by inference, less 'developed ' or less 'enlightened ' members of the audience. Personal…

the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today”. If education determines the futures of us, our children, and the entire nation, why do we allow it to fail us so tragically? Why is America’s public education system allowed to carry on the way it is as a humiliation of the developed world? And is there even a way to fix it? There is a constant debate going on over this subject. Ideas for fixing it include raising teacher salaries, raising the standards we hold our…

we’ve overcome these obstacles, but in reality it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Much sexism still goes on in advertisements. And we like to think we ignore it, but it is still processed and stored subconsciously. I think a way that we process and store such info is due to our ability to remember, more importantly, our ability to sort of remember. Our subconscious is what keeps us thinking about things we don’t think about. Whether it is about math formulas we learned, or a funny joke from…

English in America. We all see the way we communicate to be justified even though we aren’t speaking our very own language in the proper form. Some people oppose this and find that if we all speak English within the proper context, we could communicate towards one another to a better extent. In “Why Good English Is Good for You,” John Simon uses anaphora, similes, personification, allusions, and rhetorical questions to convince readers of Esquire magazine that if the base aspects of our society…

in the song it goes “Red, Yellow, black, and white”. This is the base for Race I think, there is obviously so much more than this but you have seven main continents where people are from. Seven places where a person’s linage was formed. (Human Biological Diversity) Most anthropologists believe there are 3 or 4 basic races of man in existence today. These races can be further subdivided into as many as 30 subgroups. (Mysteries)…

Through different forms of social media, users can interact with people all over the world. While advanced technology presents benefiting resources, it also presents a problem.

are that we all have. Stereotyping, the simple act of just inferring something about somebody or having prejudice without past knowledge, is immensely common nowadays. The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton is scattered with stereotyping and inferences. When I started reading the book I didn’t notice stereotyping or anything of that sort in the book. After I started reading it, I started to note how stereotyping had crept up everywhere in the book, from the introduction straight to the conclusion.…
