The Glass Cage
By Nicholas Carr
Essay #1: The Glass Cage
We live in the age of constant technological innovation and endless information; in which we are so connected and dependent on the technology we use that we sometimes don't even realize how much we're relying on it. In The Glass Cage by Nicholas Carr, Carr defines automation as, "the use of computers and software to do things we used to do ourselves," and argues that there are daunting consequences to our reliance on technology (Carr 1). In his book, Nicholas Carr sets up three arguments related to automation, tacit knowledge, and the idea of work. His main arguments throughout the novel are that humans are overestimating the benefits of automation, losing tacit knowledge through our reliance on technology, and...show more content... Again, he argues that instead of automation replacing the work we had before, technology is actually changing the way we work. This leads into the final point Carr makes in chapter one that automation is changing society's perception of work and leisure. Many people would agree that work is not pleasurable and humans like leisure. However, Carr argues that, "thanks to our bias for leisure over work, ease over effort, we overestimate automation's benefits" (19). Not only does he argue at the end of the chapter that most people are searching for a blend of life and work, but also he argues that people actually enjoy work over leisure because of the sense of accomplishment and productivity they feel afterwards. Carr argues that we overestimate the benefits of technology, when it may not even be what we really want as human beings. Furthermore, the his skeptical beliefs regarding automation, tacit knowledge, and work versus leisure are central to his argument throughout this entire book. Are humans facing the degeneration effect due to our reliance on technology? Carr would argue in chapter four that yes, we are losing creativity and knowledge of work because we are not actively using our memory and cognition. When humans typically learn a new skill, the generation effect

The Night of the Broken Glass signified a turning point for the Jews, it was the first time they realized they were no longer safe under Hitler's regime. Hitler began enacting anti–semitic laws in 1933, but it wasn't until now serious violence was occurring against Jews. During the uncontrolled riots on that traumatic night, over 100 Jews lost their lives, there was more than 30,000 Jews arrested and sent to jails or concentration camps, 2,000 Jewish community buildings and synagogues were destroyed, and over 7,500 Jewish stores were looted (Schwartz 50). There was nothing left for the Jews, everything was destroyed. This was the first time Jews realized the severity of their situation and knew they had to start taking measures to ensure their family's safety.
On the verge of WWII 10,000 Jewish children left their homes, their families, and their childhoods behind. On November 21st 1938 British Parliament took action by allowing Jewish children from Germany to come to England. Members of the British Parliament wanted to take action because they were horrified by the Nazis actions. They wanted to help the Jews, but many concerns arose from the citizens. Citizens were worried the mass income of refugees would hurt the economy, take jobs, and require public support (Holtman 107). In order to eliminate these issues it was decided that only children were going to be allowed into the country. Children were more adaptable, they could be taught to fit in with the customs and learn

Essay On The Night Of The Broken Glass
It Could Always Be Worse "If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim" Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle. This School year our class read a limited amount of novels. Of those novels I would say, The Glass Castle was my favorite. This novel that influenced me was a backwards, up–beat Memoir concerning Jeannette Walls and herfamily of five, similar to mine. However, unlike my family, theirs were constantly on the move. This novel remained my favorite due to its continuous paced events, the hardships they attained, and the way that even I difficult times with people telling them they could not amount to success they achieved just that. In this novel, there never occurred a dull moment. From the beginning all the way to the...show more content...
Growing up Jeannette's father had existed as a drunk to stop for Jeannette on her birthday before the move. Afterwards he comes back in contact with his parents and resumes his drunken state. Growing up no matter the instance Jeannette would always stand up for him and help him in any way. With her fathers demons in charge the family went hungry quite often. Leaving the children to eat what most would not venture to eat, ranging from the combination of butter and sugar to eating out of the school garbage cans at lunch. Their time in Welsh has taught me that although I may not enjoy the food that is in my house, but there are people out in the world that do not acquire the same luxury the majority of us do obtain. In Jeannette and her siblings' time of need for food, Jeannette and her oldest sister Lori help each other to create a budget in hopes that her parents would follow it. Although their parents do not, I was impressed that the girls would come up with this idea and it is highly effective for the summer their mother leaves. Only to end in the result of the money being handed to Rex. Shortly after, the girls decide they are done with living the life their parents give them. In result, the girls maintain jobs and save enough to send Lori to New York, up until Rex smashes the pig and steals all the money for alcohol. Luckily, things work out and she goes anyway shortly followed by the

The Glass Castle Essay
Reading The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls was a journey in itself. As I dived deeper into the book everyday, I started feeling like I was apart of the Walls family, going through everything that they were experiencing. Reading about all their crazy experiences from one of the daughter's point of views, was incredibly intriguing. It is a personal memoir of her years of growing up with her alcoholic father, delusional mother, and three siblings. The book is full of hardships. The family continually suffers especially the children as they grow up. The amazing part of the book is how the kids, especially Jeanette, made good lives for themselves even when throughout their childhood they had just about nothing. Jeanette took all her struggles...show more content...
I have not and will never forget those series of events. This time hurt me but also helped build upon my character. It was my freshman year of high school. I had decided to play soccer, which was not a hard decision for me since I had played travel soccer pretty much my whole life. Also my brother was in high school at the time and played for the boys soccer team, and had my dad as his coach. He loved it and was having a great experience playing high school soccer so of course I like to follow in my brother's footsteps. I was very nervous at first. There were over eleven seniors on the team, and they were pretty intimidating to me. During the summer, I played with the varsity often and enjoyed it. As I kept playing with them and performing well, my nerves lessened. Finally when the actual season rolled around, I was put on full varsity. All my hard work had paid off. I was one of the two freshman put on varsity. I was ecstatic. I was actually very lucky at getting put on varsity because at this point in my life I played purely out of natural talent. I was never one to put in extra work outside of practice and be disciplined in the way I lived my life. I never really strived to be the best I could be. Making varsity made me somewhat of a threat for the older girls. Some were happy for me, others did not like the thought of a freshman on varsity. These girls were hard coore they were bound and determined to make it to state that year. They were not going to accept anything less than amazing. This put an incredible amount of pressure on us younger girls. I remember going to every practice nervous that I was going to mess up and they get mad at me. I never really felt at ease with them. In the first few games I got good playing time. I was doing really well. I was finally getting comfortable out there on the field, but that was not the direction God was taking me and with one swift kick of the soccer

The Vanishing Glass Essay
The situation/scene that I found awfully disturbing takes place in "The Vanishing Glass." Not only is Harry Potter an orphan he is also treated horribly by his Aunt Petunia,Uncle Vernon, and his spoiled cousin Dudley. I was disturbed when Aunt Petunia woke Harry up so he can watch over the bacon. I noticed the words used to described how she talked to Harry. Words such as shrill, screeched, demanded, and snapped. Exclamation points were used nearly after everything she said to Harry, which are often use to show strong feelings and put emphasis on something. What stood out to me what when he was getting out of bed in order to watch over the bacon and it is revealed that he sleeps in the cupboard under the stairs. He doesn't have his own room

Is the glass half empty or half full? An individual's perception determines the answer. In this case, there is no right or wrong. Anyone can justifiably defend his or her response. If you are pessimistic, the glass is half empty. If you are optimistic, the glass is half full. But here's another point of view. An individual's need also plays a factor in that answer. For instance, imagine being an athlete. You finish a rigorous workout and need water. Someone offers you half a glass and you know that's not enough. The glass is half empty. Now, picture yourself on your couch after eating dinner. You are full and someone hands you a glass of water. You probably will say, "No, thank you. I'm full."
This analogy is how I view the verbal discussion about the right language when dealing with disabilities. As a new comer to this debate, it is confusing. One perspective is adamant about using People First Language (PFL), which was settled in my mind until I read about Identity First Language (IFL). In the glass example, which terminology is correct? In my opinion, it is based on the needs of those with disabilities, not on the interpretation or perception of those who do not have a disability. That can explain why documentation shows that IFL is the preferred linguistic approach for the blind and Autistic, rather than PFL.
For those with disabilities, their existence does not depend on the interpretation of those without disabilities. Instead, it is reflective on their needs to feel Get more content

The American dream for the Walls family was to be able to freely explore, adventure to the fullest, and to achieve your goals no matter how you get there. Jeannette Walls tells the story of her home life involving an alcoholic father, supportive siblings, and the thought that you can achieve what you want in the world despite the challenges. In the Glass Castle, Jeanette Walls displays that everyone has their ownamerican dream that comes with cost and struggle to produce a beautiful outcome. As the book follows the life of Jeannette, her dream starts out as a fantasy of hope for her father. When her father was sober he was her best friend. Yet he developed a drinking problem right before Jeannette was born, that developed and worsened over the span of her life. Her mother accounts that when they lost a child, his drinking started, ВЁDad however, wouldn't talk about Mary Charlene...He was the one who found her body in the crib, and Mom, couldn't believe how much it shook him up...'he was in shock or something, cradling her stiff little body in his arms... he screamed like a wounded animal'...He started having dark moods,staying out late and coming home drunk and losing jobs,ВЁ(Walls 28).
When this happened, he also started losing his jobs and not supporting his family. Jeannette always defended him nevertheless, "'Dad has to start carrying his weight,' Lori said as she stared into the empty refrigerator. 'He does!' I said. 'He brings in money from odd jobs.' 'He spends more than he earns on booze,' Brian said" (Walls 78). Even her father knows that she had the strongest faith in him, as he would tell her, "'I swear, honey, there are times when I think you're the only one around who still has faith in me,' he said. 'I don't know what I'd do if you ever lost it.' I told him that I would never lose faith in him. And I promised myself I never would,'" (Walls 79). Although as Jeannette started growing older, the drinking problems, drunk episodes, and no income started started to put a strain on their relationship. Rex told her, for her tenth birthday that he would get her whatever she wanted, even if he died trying. It was hard for Jeannette to admit to him, but she told him the one wish she had, "I took a breath

The Glass Castle: Theory and Practice Paper Synopsis The Glass Castle is a memoir written by Jeannette Walls. In this book, Jeannette recounts her unconventional upbringing along with her three siblings. Yet, despite of it all, she grew up to have an ordinary life as an adult with a professional career in journalism. Throughout childhood, Jeannette's family lived like vagabonds, having no permanent residence, sometimes even not having an actual home but sleeping in the family station wagon. One day they lived in the middle of the desert by Joshua Tree, the next week they lived in Las Vegas, then following week it was Welch, West Virginia. Because of all the moving that the family did, the children sometimes found themselves homeschooled, and other times were enrolled in school. The parents, Rose Mary and Rex, though flighty parents, were intellectual, artistic, and visionaries. They instilled these values into their children. Coincidentally, the children tapped into having their own traits and talents. Lori is the artist, Jeannette is the journalist, while Brian is the mediator. Unfortunately, Maureen, the youngest, never learned resiliency nor did she find herself or come to her own. As the children grew older, one by one, they moved to New York to live an ordinary life and pursue their own individual passion. Lori became a fantasy illustrator, Brian became a police sergeant, and Jeannette became a TV correspondent. Maureen was the last one to move to New

According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the poverty rate for children under age 18 was 19.7 percent between 2014 and 2015. Multiple studies and research have concluded that living in poverty results in lasting damage on a child's self–esteem. The stories these 19.7% live are very similar to The Glass Castle, a memoir that displays the underdog tale of Jeannette Walls, which shows her battles withpoverty, hunger, and child neglect.

There are many people who love to point out that there are a handful of women in professional settings that have "made it to the top". They like to say that there are more female CEO's now than ever before and that people should just be grateful for that. What these people fail to recognize is that many women are promoted to high positions so that they can be a scapegoat if something goes wrong. This is known as the "glass cliff". There are many times when women are promoted to a CEO position when a company is in serious trouble. If the company fails, well then it's the woman's fault. If the company comes back and succeeds, well then the company is so forward thinking and generous to its female employees and they've done such a good thing "allowing"...show more content...
On the other hand, if men fail, anything other than his gender is used to explain it. This results in men getting second chances while women don't, because apparently they weren't supposed to be in that position in the first place. Where women are expected to be working are in secondary jobs, ones that benefit other people. These include healthcare, education, secretarial, accountants, etc. these types of jobs are centered around feminine gender role expectations, meaning that they are often sacrificial and serving. What people are finding within these jobs though is that as it becomes more socially acceptable for men to be in them, that men are getting promoted faster and getting paid more than the women that were originally expected to be in those positions. This is known as the "glass escalator". For being a man, an applicant or employee may be given an extra boost in ways that women, and people of color, are not boosted. Research has showed that men are not only regarded as competent and promotable by male superiors, but also by female superiors. It's a slippery slope that shows that female–gendered occupations are increasingly becoming more and more operated by a patriarchal

The Glass Castle was a memoir of Jeannette Walls life. Her memoir as well as her autobiography, gave a new perspective to her life that showed how she become the person she is and the most important moments in her life that changed her.

Personally I believe having security and comfort is more important than having freedom. Don't get me wrong freedom has always been and always will be important. But, security and freedom are two completely different things. You have security with freedom but as well without freedom. On the other hand, you can't have freedom and security, with freedom you never know what is going to happen. For example, having freedom in my opinion means to do whatever you please to do with no one stopping you. Security means to me is having a place you know you be safe and be able call home. Unlike the Wallsfamily, who had more freedom than security. They would move around from state to state leaving memories and loved items behind, leaving no trace of there existence. Jeannette had always been a free spirit and enjoys the freedom they had. But her two siblings Lori and Brian had always wanted the security but they were given the freedom. Over time they realized how important it was to have comfort I their lives. One moment that really showed Lori wanting security and Jeannette enjoying freedom was on page 18 where the family had stopped in middle of the desert to sleep under the stars. The two girls both look at stars where Jeannette reminds Lori how lucky they both are to be able to see such an amazing view, where Jeannette said "We could live like this forever," which to Lori responds "I think we're going to," Jeannette only around the age three an Lori around the age

It so amazing how full people's minds can be in inventing and interpreting such pieces of artwork.

In my opinion I think the time frame of this photograph may have contributed in a very significant way to reveal the feelings in the image, since back in the older days, there hasn't been a lot of available resources to use up to date technology and different techniques to maybe add some color; however, in the photograph it seems to be that black and white perfectly matches the atmosphere of the picture. The photograph has overcome many expectations, because of the various themes and theories that are drawn by the one who comes up with the image, there can be so many thoughts and interpretations, and in my opinion, that's what makes a great photograph.

Stephen then begins to define his own personal beliefs and how he thinks it is like to live his life as a man. Because of Leka, Stephen is no longer fearful of accepting the beauty the world has within and Stephens thoughts are now in a whole new light.

Stephen s father orders his son to quit spending time with and talking to Leka because of the embarrassment it is causing him. At this moment Stephen feels scared and pressured by his father to obey because he is his father after all, and in the end he is convinced to distance himself from Leka.

The Dysfunction Of The Walls Family
Could the dysfunction of the Walls family have fostered the extraordinary resilience and strength of the three older siblings through a collaborative set of rites of passage? One could argue that the unusual and destructive behavior of the parents forced the children into a unique collection of rites of passage that resulted in surprisingly resilient and successful adults. In moving back to Welch, Virginia, the children lost what minimal sense of security they may have enjoyed while living in their grandmother's home in Arizona. The culture and climate (both socially and environmentally) along with an increased awareness of their poverty resulted in a significant loss of identity. As they learned new social and survival skills in this...show more content...
The deplorable piggy bank car, with the garbage bag passenger window, and junk tied to the roof could not be ignored. Rose Mary commented, "You know you're down and out when Okies laugh at you."(Walls 129). This experience embarrassed Jeanette who covered her head, but more importantly created the understanding that their family had hit a new low in their lives. In a sense, they began to self–isolate to prevent further embarrassment. With the arrival of the family in Welch, the sense of disconnection was furthered by the blending of family politics. The Walls family, dependent upon the charity of Rex's parents for food and shelter now had to contend with racism and sexual abuse. The children who had been encouraged to speak freely about their opinions now had to keep quiet. Jeanette had visited a different neighborhood which her uncle had referred to as "Niggerville," and this blatantly racist attitude was a shock (Walls 143). The grandmother accosted Jeanette that day, commenting "keep this up and people are going to think you are a nigger lover" not only was the word offensive to Jeanette, she told her grandmother "You're not supposed to use that word, mom says they are just like us" (Walls 143). Her opinion was not appreciated; as a result, she was banished to the basement by her grandmother without food. There was no support from Rose Mary on the issue due to their dependence on the grandparents for food and

In the story The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, it is about a dark and dreary time, with characters who are trying to escape their miserable and unhappy lives. There are a few characters, such as Amanda Wingfield and her son Tom, who are trying to escape their predicament, but these characters are the cause of their own selfish misery. The two who are not as straightforward about their wants and ambitions are Laura Wingfield, the daughter, and Jim O'Connor, the gentleman caller. Escape can be gained through the mind, body, and soul as Laura and Jim come to understand during certain aspects of their lives.

When she is standing in the Jewel Box, and looking at all the beautiful flowers, she relates to them as though she is also trapped by an outer glass shell. These attractions give Laura a small reprieve, but cause her to miss out on a fulfilling life. It seems that near the end of the story all hope is with Jim in Laura's eyes as she starts to open up to him, and he takes time to get to know her and compliment her. To Laura, Jim is the man of her dreams, and possibly the savior to help aid in finding freedom from such a dismal life, but as stated in a critical essay by Louis K. Greiff, he does just the opposite: "Jim O 'Connor 's entrance at first seems to promise the realization of Laura 's dreams, yet he ends instead by destroying them." During his time with Laura he accidentally breaks one of Laura's glass figurines, and surprisingly, Laura does not seem to be upset by this. With Jim's visit he manages to coax Laura out of her glass shell some, but she is still unable to find liberation from her unsatisfying life. Another character that has a need to flee from circumstance is Jim O'Connor. He is a man who does have a plan for life, and even though it is not anything extraordinary, it is his own and seems to be going well. Jim's need for escape comes from who he used to be as the popular boy in high school. His life was to be vastly different from what it is amounting to now, which is average at best. Jim describes this to Laura during their talk: "For Get more content

The wallpaper glistens as the sun shines through, reflecting against the wall brightening the room. I can hear the leaves whisper, whispering to escape. I sit on my large, soft bed, where hidden under the blankets are a memorial of dark memories that call me in my sleep.

Flowers that arch downwards point towards the clutches as its stands by the door waiting for me.

Our house is directly above and next to the slums. We have a fence that split us apart, as the capitals fear the slums could steal our goods, as parents would tell children untruthful rumours about the slums. I see a boy rewinding the wire back from the fence; his hands were scratched with blood drawing lines down his arm. He looks at me, confused and scared, an Asian boy covered in oil stains comes over. He didn't speak, but he looked skinny, he held a bunch of pears in his bag that he must have stolen. I didn't care as much. As he didn't care either. He looked at me awkwardly "Evan Lin, wanna pear". Soon on, he became my first ever friend.
It is morning once again, I get out of bed finally for once, not waking up to the sounds of my father's frustration. I sit on the floor, looking at the same morning I see every day.

Crawling back, ready to scream, just as I open my mouth and inhale. It jumps at me like a tiger, I shut my eyes. I wait a while; I take a peek, it's Evan, how did he sneak into my room. I feel relief flush through me, I push him off, out of breath as I feel something uncomfortable hit my ankle. He takes out a large shoe box coated with oil stains. He places it on my stomach like a table, not realising the oil smearing on my dress. He lifts the box up instantly and gasps, we both look at the
