Where Has The Humanity Gone?

Has society lost all of its sense of humanity, or are we that blind?

Where Has The Humanity Gone?
scriptshadow.net

The other day I went to the movie theater and I saw Deep Water Horizon. As I watched the movie, and I realized that the deaths were truly caused by BP's greed and lust, I realized that that is a force of nature that can be reckoned with o term of civilization losing their humanity. It was not enough to be a multi-billion dollar company but instead, they had to throw away the morals of safety and humanistic common values of caring for one another well-being and it cost men their lives. People know the risks of dangerous jobs, but when the people that we put in trust of our lives play with the gun that is in our mouths, and they toy with the string attached to the trigger that has a dollar on the other end, who are we to trust when civilization is run, and functions around such individuals?

It is not just this one incident that it to blame. Look at sweat shops, discrimination, racism, politics, murderers, rapists, or anything to do with a humanistic value gone wrong. I grow nauseous at the thought of living in such a world. I grow disgusted at the thought that we drone on throughout life thinking that life is just, and what we have made of it is all we can do. That we function with the system that implores us to go to endless amounts of school, get a high paying job and have a family. As if everyone has the opportunity, as if everyone is made equal. The problem with the system is that it is a system made around dollar signs and technology failed to realize that the world is ever changing and evolving in ways that cannot be contained by paper and numbers. It is being evolved into a place where there is a rich and a poor, there is a black and a white. There are going to be the same sexes that fall in love and the time is coming where individuals will no longer hide who they are as a person. We are learning that you should be you no matter how low it may bring you because the right people will love the person that you are truly meant to be. There is inequality, and I believe that one day the system will fall to pieces the way individuals have left themselves behind trying to become a part of something that was never truly meant for them. The system is not meant for humanity, that is why there is so little of it left.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
