...educating children? To answer this question is far from easy as different parents have different ways to teach their offspring. Adopting a proper method requires parents to carefully consider as their decisions will have lifelong effects on children’s growth. Some people say that it is essential to apply harsh discipline to educate children so that they obey rules and stay away from wrongdoings, while others believe that such parenting styles can adversely affect children’s mental development and turn their childhood to unforgettable nightmares. With its drawbacks outweighing benefits, the imposition of iron discipline in raising kids is counterproductive, causes unforgettable sufferings in their memories and negatively affects the whole society. Firstly, it is believed that firm discipline is not an effective way to teach their kids because it only has temporary effects and shows parents’ inability to teach their kids. According to the article “Family Discipline Incidents: An Analysis of Parental Diaries”, “corporal punishment is a failed communication attempt” (Kremer 251-63). It is said that when parents fail to make kids to obey rules, they resort to physical punishments to stop kids from repeating mistakes. However, have parents who implement tough teaching styles ever thought of the possible consequences of their actions? Do kids truly learn something under the control of rod or harsh scolding from their parents? There is a high probability that so scared are children that they...

...Charles Dickens, a most accomplished writer, has ended “The Signalman” in a most remarkable and memorable way. This extract is of the end of the story. Previously, the narrator had been confided in by a most peculiar man, the Signalman, who in the narrator’s opinion is suffering from hallucinations. He claims to see an apparition which has proved to be a bad omen by bringing about two unnerving incidents, which in both cases had involved death. During the past week it had often appeared, according to the Signalman, who was puzzled by what this appearance foretold this third time. At this point in the story, the narrator is on his way for the third visit to his friend, the Signalman. The author uses atmosphere as a tool to make the ending of this story very effective. The evening is described as “lovely” and “the sun was not yet down”. These happy descriptions deceive the readers into thinking that something wonderful is about to happen but in actual fact they are going to be experiencing the exact opposite. The lack of preparation by the author for such a dreadful event makes the death of the Signalman all the more surprising as it is totally unexpected. This use of surprise makes the story much more outstanding. As the narrator approaches the scene, he witnesses what he thinks is the apparition. For a brief moment, he believes his friend for he too has finally caught sight of this daunting spectre that had been troubling his friend. But what does it matter now? The...

...on the report of some organization, rape conviction only applies for 104 defendants. These figures are only a fraction of the reality. The reason why victim do not have enough to dare to report incident is that if they tell these stories to higher echelon, they will receive the punishment. Besides, it is so well known that sex offenders have never been penalized. Fearfully, military rape not only takes place for women but also happens for men. As the result, some people choose committing suicide for leaving their nightmare every night. Furthermore, other common consequences of MST (military sexual trauma) are drug abuse, feeling isolation, sleeping problems and the awfulness thing is that they can contract HIV/AIDS. My Opinion Despite reading many articles, this article makes me feel most impressive. Firstly, I think it is not fair for rape victims because they suffered not only from their physical health but also from their mental health. Sex offenders usually go unpunished, while sufferers were penalizing for reporting incidents. From what human has been learned, rape is regarded as same as a sin in any circumstance, especially, it takes place in the military. The attackers never know that their actions affect to survivors’ health. Furthermore, it could be a bad and unforgettable impression for some victims. In my opinion, I really...

...and major serious changes which we might face in near future. The recent advertisement of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for global warming presents the effects of global warming by comparing the natural destruction with a man-made destruction. It compares between two unforgettable tragedies: 9/11 attack on US where 2,993 people were killed and Tsunami in Indian Ocean that occurred in 2004 which killed more than 230000 people. This advertisement was published by WWF Brazil. WWF is an international non-profit organization which works on issues regarding preservation, research and restoration of environment. WWF has become a symbol for nature lovers who are working hard to preserve and restore natural environment. What this ad really does is create the awareness about natural disasters which can happen anytime, anywhere and also encourages people to conserve the environment. This advertisement by WWF is an appeal to everyone to preserve nature. This ad presents New York City which is surrounded by hundreds of planes which look like they are going to attack New York similarly as 9/11 attack. It looks so scary just by imagining what would happen if all those planes hit New York City. No one wants to see incident like 9/11 again. But what WWF really tries to tell is that a single tsunami which occurred in Indian Ocean was as big as 100 times the 9/11 attack which becomes clear by the text written in upper right...

...get creative and solve them. Every fiction inspired from this painting has evolved around the four pivotal characters present in the painting, so does my interpretation. A fan of science fictions and fantasy novels, I have modeled my interpretation while taking inspiration from them. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here is my nearly thousand words inspired by Hooper’s Nighthawks. September 11, 2016 I still remember this night like yesterday, as I passed by the corner of a Subway that used to be one of my favorite diners in Greenwich village+. The one with the big curved window, it’s not there anymore, of course. But back in 1972 it was a diner, one of the best in the whole of New York, well in my opinion, and an unforgettable monument of my mysterious memory. It was a usual late night working at the Gazette, and as always Phillies was open all night long. I was sitting in my usual seat finishing my cup of coffee and waiting for Phil to come up with my slice of ham and cheese quiche. Phil made good coffee and decent subs, but boy, did he make the best pie. It was just me and Phil, late on a Tuesday night when this couple walked in. The fella was wearing a dark blue short Crombie-style coat, with red lining, dark blue trousers, a long collared white shirt buttoned to the top with no tie, and brogue boots, and looked like grey haired insect under the brim of his fedora. The woman on the other hand was a looker with her red hair and a matching red dress. One...

...All those generations, and more, are the next step of the future history of the making. Knowing the future is a long-shot, but predicting has more of a hypothetical idea of what will come for the future individual's. Future generations will be able to come up with a lot more historical recording. The future technology will be super advanced to the point where everything will be recorded, not just a large amount, everything. More technology will mean more history made, but will they make the same mistakes we have made due to what has been left behind for them to prospect. Nothing can be decided on what they will accomplish and agree to progress from. Following the actions occurring today will lead them either to do farcical incidents, or gain wisdom to become how the past leaders of history were like. From my point of view, my conjecture would resume that from our large historical documents recorded of so many ludicrous events, future generations will carry on all the those horrible recordings in their history, maybe even...
