The Ivory Tower: Is College Still Worth It?
In the United States, a college degree has always been seen as the key to upward social mobility, but with the past few decades’ skyrocketing college tuition, many only see this key as an open door to crushing debt and minimum wage employment. The documentary, The Ivory Tower by Andrew Rossi, shows the multiple views of the value of a college education and how many students have been impacted by the student loan debt crisis to further explain and answer the filmmaker’s question, “Is college worth it?”. Yes, The Ivory Tower by Andrew Rossi is created in the most effective

. Although, the argument on why college shouldn't be free brings up some good points, such as people not being prepared for college or students who get in for free not feeling like finishing college. Hence, why I agree with Elisson more because the fact that most students have to go into debt to better their education sounds absurd.
More and more students are finding themselves in an endless loop of dept while taking college courses because of how crazy the tuition prices are. In Elisson's view, the government should make the ability for a student to attend college for free or more affordable their priority. He points out, " If the nation can provide hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies

Government. His reformist platform was picked up by Aldo Moro who formed a
center-left government with Nenni in 1964 and implemented many reforms which included
nationalization of electric power, obligatory school attendance until age 14, and withholding tax
on stock dividends. During the late 1960’s demands for social reforms led to widespread strikes
and student demonstrations in 1968 and 1969. The national government took steps to restore
order, and in 1970 it established regional governments with jurisdiction over many matters
formerly under central control. With the government unable to agree on austerity measures, Italy

economic, social, and political crisis. James Lloyd points out, “On the social side, the only way for a poor person to obtain a loan was for him to put himself and his family down as collateral. As a result, more and more people were finding themselves in debt slavery.” (Lloyd, 2012). This way of ruling influenced the Classical Sophists, which focused on the diversity of humanity, resulting in practical wisdom and forming a democracy ran by men.
Thales believed that men were better than women and Greeks were greater than all non-Greeks, this belief followed into the Classical Era. To help solve social problems, the democracy abolished debt slavery and made it illegal for one Athenian to own

Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants
The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

Walter Freeman and the Invention of the Lobotomy
In Steely Library’s digital archives, one of the postcards from the Gilliam family collection is entitled Western Kentucky Asylum for the Insane, Hopkinsville, KY. The postcard dates back to 1915 and portrays a beautiful building, complete with red bricks and white columns. Many of the insane asylums around this time were built similarly, but even their picturesque exterior could not hide the horrors which occurred within. Insane asylums built in the early to mid 1900s were still getting on their feet, and many of them encountered problems with patient care early on

Lost Treasure
When I was a child, my late father and I would spend every moment of the summer season on
the sparkling white sand of the beach near our home. We would dance, kicking up the shiny
surface so that the droplets glimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. We would lie on our backs
and stare at the sky, until the swirling clouds began to take on our imaginative shapes mingled
together by our fantastical minds. We would grip imaginary weapons and fight, thrusting swords
like the most violent of fantasy pirates. These unforgettable days went on and on, a never ending
cycle of blue skies, imprinted forever in my mind. My earliest memories are filled with images
of my father in these

How much of a threat does the robotics revolution represent for human employment in New Zealand in the next 30 years?
In order to understand the threats that robotics may pose to human employment in the future, it is important to examine the ways in which robots and computerization are already influencing different employment industries today, and how they have changed our labor practices in the past. If this information is then compared with current trends and statistics in New Zealand’s employment market conclusions can be drawn about how robotics might influence New Zealand employment in the next thirty years.

Comparison Between the Portrayal of Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby in Chapters 1 to 6
Fitzgerald purposefully portrays Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan in contrasting ways to emphasise the variety of money within the American market, during the era in which the novel is set. A major difference between the two men is ‘new money’ and ‘old money’, where Gatsby represents ‘new money’, but Daisy and Tom represent ‘old money’. The contrast between the two comes down to where the money originated from; "Old money" families have fortunes dating from the 19th century or before, have built up powerful and influential social connections and tend to hide their wealth and

A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central hub or "gateway". The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface, that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet. Also it will control lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems. When they are connected with the Internet, home devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things.

Be your true self
Fredrich Nietzche once said “The individual has always struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the the privilege of owning yourself.” In my opinion, I believe this quote is true. Many people feel like they have to be a certain way for society to like them. When in reality, they want to be true to to themselves, but they are fearful of judgement.
