Freedom‚ what does this word truly mean. Some say that freedom is when you can do whatever you want. Others say it’s when you have a certain limit of what you want to do. But have you ever asked yourself what it means to you. Well I have and I think freedom is the pursuit of happiness‚ freely expressing yourself‚ and never change for anyone because they want you to. If you think differently you should feel accomplished because in the world that we live in today everyone is walking down the same path

What does Marx mean by alienation? Do you find his account convincing? To begin with I am going to take the definition of alienation from Microsoft’s Encarta (http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary)‚ to give a basic outline of alienation and then I will discuss Marx’s alienation and then later on in the investigation I will see how similar Marx’s application of "alienation" is.

What It Means To Be a Good Leader As we grow up‚ though we may not realize it‚ we are surrounded by leaders that have an impact on our lives. Some may assume that all the leaders in your life consist of authority‚ but truthfully‚ just having authority doesn’t make you a good leader. A good leader is a person that people naturally follow; they don’t follow them because authority tells them to. Keeping this in mind‚ it isn’t very difficult to identify the leaders in your life; it’s slightly more

What does friendship mean to you? There are myriad meanings of friendships‚ for example‚ Google says that friendship means a relationship between friends‚ however‚ my definition of friendship is having someone’s back‚ keeping secrets‚ having a secret lingo‚ so no one knows what you are talking about‚ speaking to each other with your eyes‚ and laughing at something irrelevant together. Many people have different definitions of friendship‚ and they probably will not be the same as mine‚ but they have

What defines great literature? To me‚ great literature is a book that is well written‚ that has a fluid plot that keeps the book moving forward‚ and a clear moral that the story is trying to tell.

(ôth-au-r) - One who practices writing as a profession. 15 years is a long time and especially so for one who has not lived that long yet. Today teens like me are expected to know what they want do later in life. Maybe if it were not the twenty first century I could be imaginative but that would be childish (In case you didn’t know this is a CHILDRENS essay competition). However after a decade and a half I would like to be in a profession that is considered neither here nor there in terms of childishness

Personally‚ it means more than expecting to get a good job with a high earning potential. It means the opportunity to develop myself as a person and become a valued member of society. It means‚ that as the oldest brother and first generation in my family with the possibility to attend college‚ setting an example for my younger siblings about how to shape your own path and break that mindset of “do what you have to do” and replacing it with one which says‚ “do something that makes you happy.” For me
