    Albert Einstein "The Menace of Mass Destruction" Speech

    "Everyone is aware of the difficult and menacing situation in which human society - shrunk into one community with a common fate - finds itself, but only a few acts accordingly. Most people go on living their everyday life: half frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragicomedy this is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world. But on that stage, on which the actors under the floodlights play their ordained parts, our fate of tomorrow, life or death of the nations, is being decided. It would be different if the problem were not one of things made by man himself, such as the atomic bomb and other means of mass destruction equally menacing all peoples. It would be different, for instance, if an epidemic of bubonic plague were threatening the entire world. In such a case conscientious and expert persons would be brought together and they would work out an intelligent plan to combat the plague. After having reached agreement upon the right ways and means, they would submit their plan to the governments. Those would hardly raise serious objections but rather agree speedily on the measures to be taken. They certainly would never think of trying to handle the matter in such a way that their own nation would be spared whereas the next one would be decimated. But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective, and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic. There are, no doubt, in the opposite camps enough people of sound judgment and sense of justice who would be capable and eager to work out together a solution for the factual…

    Edward Yashinsky Quotes

    “Fear not your enemies, for they can only kill you...Fear not your friends, for they can only betray you...Fear only the indifferent who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on the earth” - Edward Yashinsky. Edward Yashinsky was a Yiddish poet of the early 20th century. While enduring the pains of the Communist concentration he was forced into, he was inspired to write the quote that was previously mentioned. Being subjected to the hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and physical beating from the Nazis, he died in the camp. Him and the millions of others who died for their Jewish religion still live in the hearts and minds of millions more today.…

    Good Vs. Evil In Truman Capote's In Cold Blood

    A cultural issue that has led to many controversial topics is the stature of good versus evil. In other words, the argument suggests that novels and history itself demonstrates the blurred lines of good versus evil. In my opinion, good versus evil can never just be “good” or “evil”, but instead should be determined on the effect that the situation causes as a whole. Throughout society and in literature, the evidence to support my viewpoint is pervasive.…

    Duck and Cover

    The society we live in today is so different than that of World War II. In that era the biggest threat of destroying society was the atomic bomb. In these times of today we face so many different threats of terrorism from other countries and from within our own cities. Even more than just terrorism, today’s society faces some many threats from within itself, such as Ganges in the inner cities, to the fall of inner city government through the influence from the sales of illegal drugs.…

    A Separate Peace: Made Only by War

    Maybe war comes from the evil inside our hearts, not saying that all of us are evil but the evil side comes out in war. I can personally relate to this because my parents are at war with each other all the time for no reason. After being divorced for eleven years you would think they would stop but they never do. They never take responsibility for their own actions and always try to blame one another. When I read this quote in my novel I automatically thought of them because it’s something they should read, learn and understand. It also has a personal effect on me when it comes to government because I love politics, but it seems like Republicans and Democrats are always blaming one another for the bad things in America. At what point do we take a step…

    The Lowest Animal Analysis

    One sunny morning in Cleveland, Ohio, a homeless man receives a gift of new shoes from an honorable stranger. Yet at the same time, a young man robs a bank, and an innocent woman is shot at random. Humanity has positive aspects, such as people doing righteous acts towards other human beings, but also sadly has negative aspects such as violence for little to no reason. The world seems to withhold more negative events rather than positive all throughout history. Therefore, mankind is inherently evil, but also has the capability to overcome through positivity.…

Do you want to be the “Hero” or a “Villain?” As a hero you could look back at your life and be proud of the righteous choices you’ve made.
