“Shapes On Me”
Shapes are every where
In every place I stare
Rectangle in the building
Sphere drawn on the side walk

Hexagon on the stop sign
Circle in the number nine
Triangle in the pyramids
Octagon on the jewelry box lid

Stars in the sky
Oval in Ma’am Granada’s eye
Pentagon in Washington dc
Square in my TV

Shapes are every where
In every place I look
Now I can figure out what shapes I see
If only I could find my geometry book

"On Behalf of the Sides of a Triangle"
Oh, triangle, I wish I knew why
You're known for three angles instead of three sides
Your angle's a cute part of you, I agree
But you're being obtuse if your sides you don't see
For what could be more necessarily true
Than that two sides must meet to form angles for you
And it is the length of your sides, after all
That determine if you are gigantic or small
Yes, even the straightness your sides show is key
(If two sides were curved, you'd look more like a D)
So from now on I'll boycott the triangle shape
Remove it from my geometric landscape
And some day I hope the whole world will decide
That instead of triangle, they'll call you triside

“The Geometry”

Horizontal, parallel, intersecting, perpendicular
Different widths, lengths, heights, numbers
Base times itself gives the square's area
In a circle, radius is half the size of the diameter
Calculations, facts, theories to conquer
Angles that are obtuse, straight, acute they appear
In all degrees, some find it fascinating,
Have no trouble understanding
All the facts, computations and complex
Workings; precision essential, exactness
Vital, problems that call for meticulousness
Without which
All would crumble, there would be no order

Geometry brings sequence and stability
In a world where there is also volatility
Each complimenting each other
A world of opposites; yin and yang
Ever since time began.

“Who Am I” ?

I have no faces, nor do I have any bases.
My shape is round, and I

    America: A country that prides itself on being the “Arsenal of Democracy” and the “Policeman of the World.” While this title is duly bred in the hearts and mind of our citizenry, there are some who believe that this title doesn’t accurately describe the underlying notions of our nation’s second agenda. John Perkins, a consultant and self-described “Economic Hit Man,” has had firsthand experience with the uglier side of American international business and international cooperation. In his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Perkins describes the exact method in which American business, hand in hand with International Banks and the US Government itself, has impacted and even devastated local economies worldwide. Through his career travels throughout countries such as Indonesia, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, among others, Perkins gives us a vivid description of how the American “Corporatocracy” has directly impacted developing nations’ local economies, namely by dictating unfair economic rules, leading unsuspecting governments to take out expensive loans on essential infrastructure and natural resource projects, and forcing military and political cooperation, among other things. This outright trickery and deception, on the side of America, has left a sour taste for our nation in many of the developing parts of the world, nations where future alliances are critical, and where our future wellbeing resides. Therefore it is essential to curb any ethnocentric tendencies we may have in order to help us along to get recognized. In this paper, I will go over the exact details that Perkins has discussed in his book, providing my own opinion, as well as what I have learned in class and from my readings. In order for us a nation to be well received around the world, we must monitor ourselves from a non-ethnocentric standpoint, and look at the actions and impact which we have had around the world, and how…

    George Orwell was the alias of Eric Blair, the author of 1984 and Animal Farm. Orwell was a political writer whose novels and essays criticized the political oppression taking place in Europe in the middle of the twentieth century. Orwell was a relentless opponent of capitalism and communism. He witnessed firsthand the horrific lengths to which totalitarian governments in Spain and Russia would go in order to sustain and increase their power during the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was deeply disturbed by the widespread cruelty and oppression he saw in communist countries (Duiker, 16-20). Orwell can be remembered through his works as a supporter of freedom and contester of capitalism and totalitarianism. Two of his greatest works, Animal Farm and 1984, form the basis of his fight against totalitarianism. Orwell's 1984 foreshadows the sadistic personality of the authoritative government. Animal Farm demonstrates that society's ignorance will prove to be the reason the government gets explicit control, even in a democratically ruled…
