QUESTION: Can a group of people function effectively without someone being in charge?

              A leader of a group is a member of great responsibility towards his or her people. the reason people might argue whether an authority is needed or not is that a person in charge has the ability to either lead a succesful group or drown his or her people down to the ocean of failure. The following examples illustrating the importance of having an individual leader in literature and experience reflect how I believe that each group of people having a certain goal should be leaded by a strong head.

              In a legendary story, there was a village that was controlled by two leaders. Although they were both strong rulers, they usually had a few differences, but they managed to overlook them. As years passed, each ruler started to forgo with his own beliefs, dragging a group of people into his beliefs. Indeed, the division of people onto groups led to a civil war which then marked the village's decline. Because the group of people was led by two different rulers, it diversed into different branches. If people were able to settle on having a meditated leader, they wouldn't have allowed differences to grow between them.

              In the same way, a few years ago, I had a friend who attended engineering school. Students there were assigned to do a project where they have to dig wells, extract petroleum, and present their work. My friend complained about the injustice of the group division, as her group didn't have enough skill  needed for the project, while other groups were composed of more skillful people. However, she was assigned as the group leader, and she started assigning members for each task, while other groups agreed to have no leaders as they believed that assigning a leader would create jealousy and pride. While my friend was finalizing her project, others were each working without a director, therefore being led to a mistake in the digging technique which led to the burst of the well. At that time, most groups failed their projects while my friend's group got an "A". If other groups were able to elect a strong and wise leader and overcome their "childish" senses of jealousy and envy, they would've been able to have a "well" organized and directed project.

           In a nutshell, the wisdom of choosing a leader is the key to a strong and successful community. If no person were in authority, every little group of people would follow its own desires leading to conflicts. If we all embraced this lesson, we would create a peaceful society with a wise director to lead us to community success and justice.

THANK YOU SO MUCH…

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

Honesty is important, of course , but deception can actually make it easier for people to get along. In a recent study, for example, one out of every four of the lies told by participants was told solely for the benefit of another person. In fact, most lies are harmless social untruths in which people pretend to like someone or something more than they actually do (“Your muffins are the best!”). Adapted from Allison Kornet, " The Truth About Lying"

Assignment: Is deception ever justified? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading,studies,experience, or observations.

 Deception can be a vice or a virtue depending on the scenario it's being executed in and the people it affects. And justifying it relies upon the individuals affected by deception. 
 I often visit different social media websites where exposure of personal identity could pose a great danger. One such website where this danger could be experienced is Tinychat- A webcam based site that hosts several chat rooms for people of varying ages. When I went to this site initially I met people from all over the world in an instant and had face to face conversations with twelve people at a time. All we did was have friendly conversations most of the time and over the next few months some of them became my friends. Besides the social aspects of that site, there were several antisocial ones too; for instance trolls- individuals who mocked others for fun. Some trolls would even try recording my webcam conversations with others and try extracting clues from them in order to trace my public profile and my address or other personal information, so it would be easy for them to bother me and my friends and even use it as a means to threaten us. Eventually I realized that it was essential for me to lie about my personal information whenever I had conversations with people. This would not only safeguard my interests but also prevent the trolls from having an advantage. 
 Many trolls on Tinychat often use deception to further their advances. They often create false identities of themselves which appear to be legitimate in order to befriend people. After befriending them, they try to infiltrate the victims' personal information and then misuse it by threatening the victims to comply with them. Since Tinychat is a social media website, it isn't immune to controversies regarding cyber crime. I have personally witnessed a person being harassed by a troll who had to seek help from the police.
 Hence, as long as I lied to others about my name and profession and didn't harm them, deception is a virtue but as soon as I or someone uses a false pretense  or identity to harm others and be a troll, then deception can't be justified and becomes a vice. 

The word censored with ***** is troll/trolls.

Is conscience a more powerful motivator than money, fame, or power?

Money, fame and power can be seen as powerful motivators. In the end, these selfish wants do eventually prove to be greater motivators than one’s inner conscience. This is proven true through literary works as well as historical events.
In Macbeth, both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have fairly high positions, serving under the king. When the king informs them that his son will be succeeding him, Lady Macbeth immediately suggests that they kill the king before he announces his successor. In this way, Macbeth will become the new king, gaining money, power and fame. Macbeth eventually kills the king, subsequently becoming king, which vaults both he and his wife into a higher position. The fact that the Macbeth’s planned and then killed King Duncan to gain his status shows and emphasizes that conscience was the weaker motivator than the power, fame and money.
Another example of this, in terms of historical context, was when Japan bombed Parl Harbor on December 11th, 1939. At the time, Japan had been invading China, trying to take over so that they could gain the land and the power that came with it. Japan needed tons of oil for their expeditions, and when the US, who were providing 90% of Japan’s oil, deciding to stop shipping it to them to discourage invasions, Japan attacked their Hawaii base. The Japanese were so absorbed with the thought of taking over China, that instead of halting their invasion when the US decided to stop supplying them oil, they angrily attacked instead. The fact that they ignored their conscience, which probably suggested to stop the China invasions and return home, instead they attacked the US in hopes of gaining China.
Finally, another example of conscience being a less powerful motivator is shown in the Rape of Nanjing. In this event, the Japanese went to Nanjing, a city in China, and raped thousands of women, as well as killing thousands of more in the 1900’s. Even though the Japanese could have easily told their military troops, the rapists and killers in this occasion, to not perform such acts, the power aspect of the entire situation overruled any conscience that may have been there. Once again, this shows that although conscience may exist, is is not nearly as strong as other, selfish motives, such as money, fame, and power.
The common view that humans care only about their selfish wants, such as power, fame, and wealth is an accurate depictment of people. Conscience, which is supposed to tell us whether things are good or bad, is easily overpowered by the selfish wants of humans. Many books, such as Macbeth, clearly cite this, and historical events, like the Japanese Rape of Nanjing, clear any doubts that fame, power and wealth are more powerful motivators than conscience.

hould we care just as much about people in other countries as we do about people in our own country?

Realizing that we should care just as much about people in other countries than people in our own is a crucial ingredient for societal development. A plethora of examples from the worlds of business, politics and history categorically prove that caring more about our own people can prove to be catastrophic.

In the renowned 1987 case of Chevron ,an American petroleum company, it was Chevron’s direct lack of care for Nigerian citizens that caused a rise in oil prices for Americans. Chevron was known for mistreating Nigerian workers in its Nigerian oil extraction facilities in comparison to how American workers were treated in Chevron facilities in the U.S.A. Chevron would force Nigerian workers to work tedious hours and expose them to toxic substances such as arsenic while not paying them anything near to what american workers were payed. Chevron justified its actions by claiming that this would ensure low oil prices for Americans even though the Nigerian government repeatedly urged Chevron to cease exploiting and abusing Nigerian workers. This eventually led the Nigerian government to revokes Chevrons oil extraction permits in 1989 reducing the global output and supply of oil by over one hundred thousand barrels a day.This caused global oil prices to rise significantly harming u.s residents. Hence, Chevron’s actions undoubtedly prove that we should care equally about people as the price rise that u.s residents faced were much higher than if Chevron treated its Nigerian workers properly.

Another relevant example would be Saddam Hussein’s complete lack of empathy for Kuwaiti citizens in the 1989 Gulf war. Saddam Hussein , the past leader of Iraq, invaded the defenseless state of Kuwait ruthlessly on September 2nd in order steal Kuwait’s oil. Saddam ordered his soldiers to kill any non Iraqi citizen in Kuwait no matter their age, gender or political affiliation while treating Iraqis very well. This led to the massacre of thousands of innocents Kuwaitis who previously did not mind Saddam Hussein to take over Kuwait but now despised him and led to the formation of an armed grouped that eventually toppled Saddam Hussein’s rule in Kuwait with the aid of U.S forces. This example therefor undeniably proves that caring about people is necessary as Saddam Hussein could have easily taken over Kuwait if he had cared equally about Kuwaiti and Iraqi citizens.

Finally, the U.S generous economic aid (Marshall plan) to the allied forces people after world war 2 that caused the U.S to be one of the greatest military powers today. The allied forces had just defeated Nazi Germany and Europe’s people as a whole were in a critical situation. Europeans countries pleaded the U.S for aid but at the same time, Americans had just experienced a stock market crash and lost a considerable amount of money. This meant that the U.S government had to make a choice wether to help its own people or people in Europe. The U.S decided to split the fund it intended to spend on the stock market in half in order to spend the other half to aid people in Europe. This resulted in Europe and its people to be able to reconstruct themselves and help the U.S.A in all of its future wars. Hence, this example ultimately proves that caring as much about our own people and people in other countries is crucial as the U.S reaped huge benefits.

After a careful analysis of Chevrons 1987 case in Nigeria, Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait and the Marshall plan, it is without a shadow of doubt that caring just as much about people in other countries than people in our own country is indeed necessary. Not caring equally can prove deadly.

Do you think that people are capable of finding happiness, or are they always searching for something beyond what they have?

The search for happiness seems to be in vain. The more we gain, the more we want and lust after. Alas, happiness escapes the human’s grasp and dances about, tauntingly, just out of reach.
First of all, the the Babylonian nation was known for its splendor, majesty, and riches. However, it constantly sought to expand more and more, which ultimately led to its downfall. This was all because the Babylonians were not pleased with what they had; they longed for greater and greater things: more power, more wealth, more slaves, and more reverence from the surrounding nations. Also, many people seek happiness through drowning all their sorrows with a glass of wine or beer or by smoking all their troubles away. These drugs stimulate the pleasure neurotransmitter, dopamine, which gives them solace for a little while. However, the pain comes crashing down, unfortunately leads to the same, redundant, disastrous cycle. That is not true happiness. The drug is a false hope, a false sense of security that bandages the wounds for a short time. Then, the bandage is ripped off, and the bleeding begins again, but every more strongly. Finally, a story by F. Schott Fitzgerald reveals a very rich man in love with a beautiful but married woman. He has everything he could ever want, except for her. He is not pleased with the other single women out there, nor do his riches satisfy him. He believes true happiness will be obtained by making her his wife. Instead, his reputation and wealth is ruined. Finally, he des, almost by here hands.
Happiness scoffs at all who try to grab her; she is never caught. Happiness that comes at a price is an illusion: it is not true.

some of the grammar are just typos:
“ever more strongly,” “Scott,” “Finally, he dies, almost by her hands.”

Also…
“However, the pain comes crashing down, far worse and horrible than before, which unfortunately leads to the same, redundant, disastrous cycle.” (that is the real sentence)

ASSIGNMENT: Do we need other people in order to understand ourselves? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

We human beings are very dependent on one another. The saying ,”Iron sharpens iron” is very true. Through ur interactions with people, we can see and know ourselves in better ways. Without others, we have wrong preconceived notions about ourselves. Through literature, history and everyday life, it is evident that we need other people in order to understand ourselves.

In “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, Huck learns through society that it is wrong to let slaves escape, and that people would go to hell if they did help or encourage runaway slaves. However, through his interactions with Jim, a runaway slave, he is able to realize that he is willing to “go to hell” to help Jim. Although he was taught not to, his relationship and interactions with Jim helped him to understand himself and to come to that conclusion. Without Jim, he would have a wrong notion about himself that he would never aid a runaway slave. Thus, without other people, we cannot truly understand ourselves.

On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked plants and crashed into the Twin Towers. On that day, thousands of American lives were lost. No one was really prepared for this event, as it was completely unexpected. However, on that day, many people could emerge who are not remembered as heroes. An example of this is Mr. Ong, a flight attendant aboard one of the airplanes that was hijacked by the terrorists. She probably never imagined that she had so much bravery. She called the on-land air crew and explained the situation. If it hadn’t been for Ms. Ong and several others onboard, the airplane ma have crashed into the White House or the Empire State Building. Through the terrorists and this incident, Ong could realize how brave she was when thrust into that kind of situation.

Every morning, we look into the mirror. Why? Without our mirrors, we are unable to see what we look like. This is another example of how much we cannot see or understand ourselves on our own. We cannot even see our physical selves, which are visible. How much more then, who we are, which is invisible> This further proves our need for other people. We need people in our lives to point things out for us, and through out interactions with others, we can understand ourselves better.

We often think that we know ourselves more than anyone else. This may be true, but without the help from others, we cannot know or understand ourselves. We need other people in our lives. One who is secluded from society and lives asa hermit cannot truly understand him or herself. Through our interactions with others, our true selves are exposed. Thus, we need people around us in order to truly understand ourselves.

Hi, could you please help to grade my essay and leave a few comments if possible? Thanks!

Prompt: Do you believe that people need to keep secrets, or do you believe that secrecy is harmful?

Holding secrets have always been unfavourable and lead to worse outcomes. It was mentioned that President Truman stated that citizens should have an open exchange of information between the government however, it was proven that Truman did not abide to what he had stated. He kept a secret about bombing cities in Japan and the Americans were unaware of his decision. In addition, this proves to a point that secrecy is harmful between married couples as it results drastic problems.

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1965, still has sparked a lot of controversy between President Truman. The atrocities of the bombing caused massive killings of innocent civilians and it was estimated that more than 200,000 civilians died in those cities in Japan. After the attack of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese, Americans felt that they were terrorized and were determined to stop Japan from causing another total war. After much discussion, President Truman decided to plant a surprise attack towards Japan even though many scientists have warned him that the bombs were too powerful. Not only did the civilians died, many infrastructures were abolished into ruins and it took many years for Japan to recover such drastic losses. 

In the past, not only did secrecy cost lives but presently, it also affects marriages greatly. A website called Ashley Madison, allows couples to meet other spouses and engage in affairs. It is shown that this website advocates adultery. By carrying out affairs elusively, the wife or husband will eventually find out and this will result a marriage to end in sour. Loved ones will be hurt and betrayed when their spouses are being unfaithful and holding secrets from them. Many problems will arise and it will affect greatly to the people who revolves around them, specifically their children. Consequently, trust and love will be broken and their loved ones may face detrimental health issues such as depression and having suicidal thoughts.

No benefits can be gained through secrecy and their acts of selfishness, spark in more harm than good. Innocent civilians and loved ones should not be hurt carelessly by the people who hold dark secrets upon them.

Ok guys. Why aren’t you peer reviewing each other’s essays? I notice that there are a lot of you posting essays but very few people posting reviews of other’s essays. I think this forum will only work if you stop expecting something without giving something. How about reviewing the essay that came before you and THEN post your own? It would probably make you better at writing these essays if you did that as well, because it would start to make you think like a grader and be able to pinpoint what makes a good SAT essay. In fact, here’s a scoring rubric to make it a bit easier for all of you: http://teacherweb.com/FL/CypressBayHS/Lupu/SAT-WRITING-RUBRIC.pdf

Assignment: Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?

In most cases, progress always comes at a cost. The incredible technological progress that we’ve experienced has had a pernicious effect on our values. Changes that make our lives easier do not necessarily make our lives better, and in fact can have a negative impact on human society. Examples from history and literature illustrate this concept.

The Industrial Revolution marked the shift from a rural to an urban society. Men, women, and children left their lives in the farm to work in factories in the city. The world experienced explosive economic growth, as inventions such as the cotton gin and the telegraph made the factory system expedient. However, this rapid economic growth came at a cost. Men and women were forced to work long hours in terrible working conditions. The tenements they lived in were crowded and the air they breathed in was infested with pollution. The progress made in technology came at the expense of the people.

Technology that has made our lives easier has also had a negative impact on our culture. For example, in the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the citizens of Oceania live in a vastly industrialized world. However, the world painted by George Orwell marks the exact opposite of progress. The news, media, and the government use new technology to oppress its citizens. They use telescreens to monitor their citizens and egregious chemical weapons to enforce conformity. The people of Oceania are unable to express individuality and must succumb to the industrialized, tyrannical government.

Thus, progress that occurs in society always comes at a devastating cost.

Question: Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?

It is imperative that we as a society live our lives unafraid to question authority under the right circumstances. We must never automatically assume that what we are told to do by an authority figure is the morally or logically correct thing to do. Granted neither is it acceptable to continuously question authority no matter what the situation or circumstance. 

For instance, I volunteer at a community outreach program aimed at assisting poverty-stricken families and the homeless. Being merely a volunteer in a vast network of employees in the organization, I have many superiors. In this particular case we were handing out boxes of food to impoverished families, and I was told to include sugary drinks in the boxes. I offered an explanation that given many of these families are afflicted by diabetes, including sugary drinks for nourishment would be counterintuitive. So by questioning authority I was able to provide healthier food choices for impoverished families.

Questioning authoritative figures in your life if done politely, implies no disrespect towards authority, but instead conveys your respect for and desire to improve the decisions of these figures. For instance, my Academic Decathlon teacher told the class to research appropriate academic debates relating to our book that we were supposed to read as a class. Many of the students found these advanced debates interwoven with bewildering academic language, to be very confusing. I raised my hand and offered a suggestion where each student provided their own thesis and perspective on the book so that the class could better understand and analyze the literature since it was written by their peers. Because I had politely questioned and offered a more adequate adaptation of my teacher's lesson plan, she adopted my suggestion and thus, our class was able to learn much more because a student wasn't afraid to question authority. 

Finally one must understand that by questioning authority under the right circumstances, they are paving the way for continuous change and improvement. After all, a modern society cannot maintain it's progression without a reasonable degree of change, stemming from those who were unafraid to question the present, so as to assist in creating a brighter and more efficient future.

Prompt: Sometimes it is necessary to challenge what people in authority claim to be true. Although some respect for authority is, no doubt, necessary in order for any group or organisation to function, questioning the people in charge - even if they are experts or leaders in their fields - makes us better thinkers. It forces all concerned to defend old ideas and decisions and to consider new better thinkers. Sometimes it can even correct old errors in thought and put an end to wrong actions.

Assignment: Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?

Essay: The French Revolution was a resounding example of a people rebelling against authority, which was abusing its power and neglecting those they were commissioned to serve and protect. Though it is true that a functioning society requires a head of state, a leader, power must always be checked and question to prevent those who wield it from running rampant.

The sole purpose of authority is to guide and lead peoples less capable in a certain direction. The President holds the authority in a republic, a teacher holds authority in a classroom, and a CEO holds authority in an office. The main purpose of all these roles are to guide and lead others who aren’t as proficient in an area, and for this relationship to function a certain degree of trust and belief must exist in order to function correctly.

The danger of this relationship established on trust is the same as any relationship built on trust. Abusal of authority. This is when those in positions of authority take advantage of those who trust and follow them for their own personal goals. The 20th century was rife with this display of abuse of power. Powerful European states took up arms against each other, simply because those in power were unable to cooperate. The final casualty count of the first world war comprised primarily of the common people. People who had unwaveringly placed their trust into their authorities, believing them to have a better knowledge of the politics which are demanded of running a country. It should not come as a surprise then, to realise that following the first world war, most of the great European kingdoms and monarchies were disbanded, replaced by governments of other theologies.

The 21st century is a representation of this awareness f the possibility of the abuse of power by those in authority. With all of the Western world now having adopted the social system f liberal democracy, and the allowance of free speech within the media, the Western world has essentially “handed over the reigns” to the people of the country, rather than accumulating all the power into the hands of one person, one dictator, and the establishment of the media to constantly probe, and question, and critique them. To keep them from abusing their power.

Modern day liberal democracy is a reflection of society’s awareness of the constant need to question those in power and authority. Surely if all of the Western world has adopted such an ideology and enforced it into their social structure, wouldn’t questioning the ideas and decisions of those in positions of authority be important?

@Harry97 I would give you a 5.5 if that was possible. Your topic sentences were insightful and well developed, however, you should try and maintain that level of sophistication in your paragraphs as well.

Does the success of a community depend on the willingness of people to limit their personal interests?

The presupposition that one needs to set aside his/her personal interests for the greater good of the community, is a categorical truth. Some people would argue that one's interests supersede those of others but the opposite is apparent in Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta" and Alexander Rose's "Washington's Spies".

Everyone loves to be celebrated. They want to be a legend; their names echoed through the halls of fame. 'V' on the other hand, opts to let go of such a luxury for the good of the entire United Kingdom in "V for Vendetta". He commits 'crimes' against the fascist government so that the people can wake up and realize their rights. Never once does he reveal his true identity as he believes that the citizens should not look up to the man but rather the acts themselves. He also chooses to let go the love of his life, Evey, so that his countrymen can live a more prosperous life.

V chose to lead a life of solitude in service of his country but sometimes, however, people are forced into such a lifestyle. In Rose's "Washington's Spies" Abraham Woodhull stays away from the revolutionary war. Even though he wants nothing to do with the conflict, he is forced to pick a side when Simcoe and the other Loyalists berate the people in his community. He forgoes his pacifist lifestyle. He starts spying for the Patriots without any regard for his life. During an invasion, his father, Richard, allows the Loyalist soldiers to unearth the tombstones and use them as shields. Richard chose to forgo his sense of tradition in return for the safety of his community.

Both instances serve as examples that one must set aside his/her personal interests for the greater good.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

No one knows how the future will turn out. Faced with this uncertainty, some people choose to live as though the only thing that matters is now. Instead of planning for the future, they devote their energy to enjoying the present. How misguided! They should spend their time today preparing for the future. Knowledge, skills, and resources they work to acquire now will serve them long after the pleasures of today are forgotten.
Assignment: Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

ESSAY
Human beings are constantly evolving and progressing in the path of development. Human beings have always wanted to advance in life and always seeked for a brighter and robust future. It is quite essential that we spend our present time to plan out how we are going to shape and mould the future. If human beings have always thought about enjoying the present we would have not even advanced through all the various age’s, we would have been wandering in the early age.

God has gifted mankind with the greatest weapon in the universe that is creativity. If man was satisfied with the present great scientists like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell ,Thomas Alva Edison and many other great scientists would have not even emerged. If Newton didn’t get the question of why an apple falls from a tree and continued his life like everyone else, so many concepts like gravitation, laws of motion, light and so on would have not been discovered. If Thomas Alva Edison was satisfied with lamps and torches he would have not even got the idea to invent an electric bulb which is completely a basic need in today’s world. If Alexander Graham Bell were happy with communication through post and direct interference, he would have not even invented the telephone, which helped in connecting the entire world and transformed the entire world a big village.
I feel that God has created human beings to accomplish something and work towards a change. If we didn’t spend time for enriching our knowledge, skills and planning for the future we would not been living in the modern world of technology where we live in luxury perennial homes, and use ultra fast means of communication and transportation and hifi technology where machines do all our work. Since I was a young boy I always wanted to achieve something in life. I did my best at school, tried to enhance my skills and knowledge and work for a better future. Even now I am taking college prep courses to prepare to tackle the world and get into the college of my dreams and accomplish not only my goals but also to take mankind forward.
However my conclusion is that planning for the future does not necessarily mean forgetting the present and spend our time dreaming about the future. If means that we utilize our present time to mould ourselves in the best way, and of course we should enjoy what we do. Without enjoying our passion it’s not possible to accomplish anything in life. Hence people should not only enjoy their life and passion but work towards success and change!
