Answer:
The Bishnoi faith is a religious offshoot of Hinduism founded on 29 principles, most of which promote environmental stewardship. Bishnois strictly forbid the harming of trees and animals. The religion was founded by Guru Maharaj Jambaji in 1485 AD in the Marwar (Jodhpur) desert region of western Rajasthan, India. Jambaji witnessed the incessant clear-cutting of trees during times of drought to feed animals, only to see them die eventually as the drought continued. He also recognized the importance of trees within his local ecosystem (keeping animals alive) and banned cutting down green trees and killing birds or animals. Jambaji's spiritual reverence for nature led to a tradition of harmony with the local ecology: in the middle of an arid desert region, the Bishnois are famous for cultivating lush vegetation, caring for animals, and collecting drinkable water.
In 1730, almost 300 years after Guru Jambaji's 29 principles were recorded, the maharajah (king) of Jodhpur wanted to build a new palace. He sent soldiers to gather wood from the forest region near the village of Khejarli, where Bishnoi villagers had helped foster an abundance of khejri (acacia) trees. When the king's men began to harm the trees, the Bishnois protested in anguish but were ignored by the soldiers, who were under royal orders.
Amrita Devi was a female villager who could not bear to witness the destruction of both her faith and the village's sacred trees. She decided to literally hug the trees, and encouraged others to do so too, proclaiming: “A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree.” Bishnois from Khejri and nearby villages came to the forest and embraced the trees one by one to protect them from being cut down. As each villager hugged a tree, refusing to let go, they were beheaded by the soldiers. This voluntary martyrdom continued until 363 Bishnoi villagers were killed in the name of the sacred Khejarli forest.
Once word got back to the King about this activity he rushed to the village and apologized, ordering the soldiers to cease logging operations. Soon afterwards, the maharajah designated the Bishnoi state as a protected area, forbidding harm to trees and animals. This legislation still exists today in the region.
In memory of the 363 Bishnois, who died protecting their dear trees, a number of khejri trees are planted around the area, which is still notably lush and rich with animal life. The Bishnoi sacrifices became the inspiration for a much larger Chipko movement that is still growing today, in which villagers physically embrace trees to save them from logging.

He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.

What do we hear socially about intelligence at school?
Answer:
Every year hundreds of grade school students converge on Washington, D.C., for the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The “bee” is an elite event in which children as young as 8 years old compete to spell words like “cymotrichous” and “appoggiatura.” Most people who watch the spelling bee think of these kids as being “smart.”
What makes a person intelligent? Is it heredity (two of the 2014 contestants in the National Spelling Bee have siblings who have previously won) (National Spelling Bee, 2014a)? Is it interest (the most frequently listed favorite subject among spelling bee competitors is math)(NSB, 2014b)?

Read the statement below and decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the reading. Here's your discussion prompt:
Independence is a universal human need.
What do you think? Write a paragraph supporting your opinion and then write a reply paragraph. If you're working with others, your reply paragraph should respond to the ideas of another student. If you're working alone, your reply paragraph should support the opposite point of view from your own.
Answer:
Recently there has been a ton of debate as to whether independence is a universal human need or not, It’s my firm belief that all men are born equal and have right to pursue what they want, so independence is needed and I feel this way for various reasons that will explain in the subsequent paragraphs
First and foremost, every well develop nation on this planet is conserving the values of freedom and independence, as a consequence it’s remarkable throughout history, that those nations development relied mostly in a strong based constitution that always had independence as a universal right, for men and women equally theoretically.
Secondly, nations around the globe that prevent its denizens to have freedom and independence are more likely to suffer from third nation’s symptoms, for instance hunger and lack of infrastructure. If we take Brazil as an example it’s notorious that once the Brazilian population elected a dictator called Bolsonaro, the country is suffering from the consequences of preventing freedom and independence for its denizens resulting in the most dangerous crisis that Brazil is passing through
In the light of all above, it’s clear to see how independence as a universal human need must be protected at all costs.
Answer:
I disagree with the statement.
I think independence is great if you have a good sense of responsibility and moral integrity. It helps to further self-reliance and resourcefulness but independence isn't for everybody, and I definitely don't believe that it is a human need. It's more of a privilege...independence is something that's earned.
For example, you don't see any convicted felons or psych ward patients walking around freely without supervision during any given time of the day. If you do, they've either escaped or they or are being monitored from time to time. People who act in ways that portray the fact that they are irresponsible or dangerous do not need independence. Likewise, people who are unable take care of themselves are also dependent on others to live. Babies, seniors, and people with disabilities all fit into this category.
Although I agree with the idea that everyone should be able to think by themselves and make their own decisions...what if those decisions are self-destructive and can put people in danger? Freedom without supervision would be anarchy. Period. And even though America was founded on freedom, it is still very much limited.
Independence is great but it is not a fundamental or universal human need. It is earned, wanted, and coveted but it is not for everybody.

NEEDED ASAP
This year has been very rewarded to me. Two months ago I started a new experience in life; I met a person from my church, she invited to me to go with her to preach god's word to a bunch of homeless. At the beginning, I was a little scared because homeless people do not have the best reputation in town but at the end I accepted.
That morning my friend picked me up really early, we had to organize the place, take the chairs, set the table, prepare the snacks, test the equipments I mean the microphone and the speakers. When we have all ready, the homeless people started to arrive. I felt a little bit weird. I never thought to be there but it happened.
They started to pray and something happened, I could see God's mercy on the face of those people. They were there enjoying that moment and accepting those beautiful words. After that, I helped to serve food and beverage and I could discover how lucky I am to have a family, food, a place called home and a lot of things.
This experience helped me to understand that I needed a change in my life; I had to be more helpful and avoid worrying for things that they are not worth them. I could see everyone with the same eyes and try to make a difference in people's life.
Life is really hard most of the time and this group from my chuch helped to see my life from different point of view.
From this experience I learned that I could be a better person, and I could help other people, whose they do not have anything in life but they are so happy with a smile, a hug a sweet word or a handshake-

f r i e n d p l e a s e
Answer and Explanation:
Not a situation you may be familiar with, you may need a little research. But here goes: a good example is Nigeria's tribal division. Nigeria is currently plagued with tribal wars, a constant battle to decide which tribe is better and should lead the country. For each tribe, a president which comes from their tribe should represent and prioritize them and not the whole country. As a result every tribe seeks to dominate the other. This situation has left the country backwards for countless decades, encouraging large scale corruption, nepotism, and incompetence in high places.
