- ... have become strangers to the collective have truly attained their humanity. Although the piece does not have a title, the first line, “once like a spark”, has to do with the attaining of indiviudalism.

- 12187: Getting The Most From Our Education
- Getting The Most From Our Education My goodness Captain, you ask some hard questions! I think some of the responsibility could fall into the family's lap.

- ... would not want anyone bothering me by putting a camera in my face. I would want the money to buy food, but if someone over in America just needed my story for filler, I wouldn't be too happy. It should be the tribe's leader that should have to get the tribe out of trouble in any way that he could. It is not our business to send them our money to get food for the people that got themselves into trouble, but I think it makes people feel good to donate things to needy people. I just think that the media isn't telling people the whole story. Maybe the starving people spent all their money on drugs?

We tend to deny that sexual influence has become a mainstream market in our society but if you look through an every day magazine you begin to notice how extreme it really is ... stand out in the entire advertisement. The expression on her face almost seems like an evil smirk. As I flipped through a magazine, this advertisement immediately caught my attention. My first belief of the marketer s intentions was to give an idea that if you wear their product, you can be with whomever you wish, anywhere you dare, and however many partners you desire. Of course, this was ridiculous to me ... m shopping and I see the product I may check it out because it is something I have seen before.
