... less time than we do it. End result: Greater profits.
But is this really the way we should be living our lives? We place all of our dependence in machines, which we have developed to take the place of…us, the people who developed them.

The Swayzak People

Each individual group is "lead" by a shaman type figure a holy man, the wisest member of the group.

Suicide And The Agony Of Seper
... agony, even though it
may now manifest less intensely in us. And to be completely honest, let us
even allow that we are they. A surprisingly large group of our population has
either contemplated or actually attempted suicide at some time or other. For
many of those seemingly happy people we meet on the street or in our jobs, the thought of suicide
has been a more or less silent alternative in the midst of life's reversals. It is not an impulse that people
commonly publicize regarding themselves, hence one naturally imagines that few others experience it.
Sympathetic friends typically regard a suicidal person as being a ...

Wells Social Imagination
... the factories and mills of his time. They worked long hours, for starvation wages, living in appalling housing conditions. At the same time, the wealthy industrialists and leisured classes lived a life of pleasure and ease. It is to expose this division in society, which forms the satirical purpose of his novel, 'The Time Machine'. He extrapolates this situation of social injustice into the far future, the world of 802, 701 AD.
The machine itself is the vaguest of mechanical assumptions, a thing of ivory, quartz, nickel and brass that quite illogically carries its rider into an existing past or future. We accept the machine as a literary device to give an air of ...

Dreams: Their Analysis
... as if anyone were to stare at
us they could see the contentment and harmony radiating from myself. I was
watching myself lay down on very soft green grass, but before I did I turned
around to see if my mother was still near. I saw myself lay down under a tree.
This tree was uniquely beautiful because of its thin twisting, almost fragile
looking branches. The tree was unusual for it was bare, there were no leaves,
nor was it green. The tree just stood by itself colored naked and bare for all
to witness. The birds of summer seemed to favor this unique looking tree by
gathering and sitting on its thin but strong branches. I laid under this tree
looking up toward ...

The Relationship Between Research Labs, Media, Government, And Industries
... relationship well. In the
September 1996 article of Scientific American, Dr. Folkman does a simple
explaination of the problem he faced and the ways that he overcame some of
the obstacles to arrive at his goal at least partially succesful. He does
not say that he has the cure, he does not say that he will be going down in
history as the man who single-handedly beat the monster disease, he simply
states the project. The rest of the articles then refer to a New York
Times article, in which Nobel laureate James D. Watson, allegedly states
that “Judah will cure cancer in two years,” it turns out that this was

Ferrari
... transformation and the reconstruction of this once deeply troubled auto maker in to a European visionary company. in my opinion has changed the Italian economy forever. They were the ones that stimulated all the automotive competition we have today in Italy, and they are the reason the Italians today are known for their beoutiful automobiles.
It all began in Europe, more precisely in Modena, Italy where Enzo embarked on his lifelong passion in 1947. He was a racing pioneer, he engineered his cars with a "single objective in mind: speed,"(4) to build the fastest car possible in Europe. This in part is what distinguishes a part from all the other automakers a ...

Standardized Testing As A War
... You are a nerd, jock, drop out, preppy. Students attempt to become individuals; but the path is blocked by the educational hierarchy shoving us back into the fighting line. Standardized testing is their choice of dictation. What do these tests prove? If a student does poorly on these tests,is she a failure? Standardized tests try to inequitably equate every student in America, how can one test justify every student’s wisdom?
Life is a race against the clock. Just as a solider waits for his time to strike, the educational system is based solely on the amount of time in the classroom. Teachers don’t have time to teach. Students don’t have time to lea ...
