The Nature of Humans

     Throughout my life, I have noticed several characteristics that are pervasive throughout all of the human race. The first characteristic is that humans are irrational beings. We rarely use objective thinking and logic to make decisions in our lives. The second characteristic is that anybody only seeks to better themselves. Somebody might say that they are doing something for the greater good, but it is only done to appease some subconscious need they have in the head. Lastly, Humans can change. Nothing is ever set in stone for us. Humans possess the unique ability to be fluid in mind and body. This also enables us to understand other people and things by changing the way we think.
     I have came to these conclusions from simple observations throughout my entire life. I have always gone through life looking for things beyond what I could see. For the first characteristic, I give the example of love. Love blinds people to their surroundings. It completely encapsulates them and they become unable to think clearly about what they are doing. For the second observation,  I can relate it to love as well. People might think that loving something benefits the other party more than it does themselves. However, what I see is that people love things and the people because they do not feel whole. They need to fill some void in their life for their own satisfaction. Lastly, People understand other people. How can anybody explain how that works? I think it is because we can think like other people, which is proof that we can change.

Are you distracted by technology?

     To answer this plainly, No, I am not distracted to technology. I honestly work better on a computer or iPad than on paper. I find it easier and more efficient to work with others using technology. Technology allows us to be miles apart and be working on the same virtual piece of paper. This can be seen as a huge benefit to collaboration and cooperation. I would even say that technology allows me to stay more focused on what I am working on. I am able to listen to helpful music and look up helpful tips while getting the work done in a timely manner, albeit it does have its drawbacks.      I think that technological distraction results from irresponsibility. I believe the term technology is too broad for this prompt. I believe that the entirety of technology can't be distracting, but I do believe in certain situations it can be distracting. For example, while trying to do homework, some people might feel the need to check their phone every ten seconds because they just posted s

Research Update

     Between our Social Studies and English classes, I have been working on a joint research paper. The topic I chose was Karl Marx relationship with Russian communism. I have found this topic to be very interesting thus far. I think a lot of people get confused about what communism actually is. Communism is a socioeconomic system that is supposed to benefit the proletariat or working class people. This system seems good in theory, but it has its problems. It all starts off with the criticism of Capitalism, the current dominant economic system. They say that the Bourgeois, middle class, are only making the proletariat suffer through the economic system through taking advantage of them.       Communism really boils down to one key economic prospect: the abolition of private property. The communist argument goes that since the Bourgeois own the means of producing goods, The Bourgeois can and are taking advantage of the proletariat. Through this process, the proletariat are becoming more

Final Fantasy XV: A Beautiful Piece of Art

     Over Christmas break, I played many video games. One video game in particular struck me in a new way. This game was Final Fantasy XV . Final Fantasy XV  take place in the fantasy world of Eos, which is split between two countries, Niflheim and Lucis. The game follows Noctis, the prince of Lucis, and his friends as they go on a journey to reclaim their homeland. This has been one of the best games I have played ever. The story is great and it develops the characters really well. Not only that, there is so much to do in Eos. It ranges from have lunch at a cafe to fighting off daemons at night. The game is incredibly diverse and there is so much for the player to do.      One of the things that make this game especially great is its character development. Noctis, the main character, is only in his twenties. The game shows this very clearly as Noctis doesn't have the best judgement in the world. In fact, no character in this game is portrayed to be completely perfect. These flaws
