Can ANYONE PLS HELP ME WITH MY ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT PLS!!!!

What does this quote mean?

If you can change something you’re complaining about it, then you better take action and rid yourself of whatever it is. If you can’t change it, then perhaps, that’s the universe telling you that you need to change your outlook. Because without changing the outlook, you will allow it to bother you forever. For each negative, pick up a positive and only concentrate on that. The true message always seeps through; you just have to acknowledge it.

Have you ever had to do this?

yes many times yes

it means exactly as it says.

If it’s at all possible, certainly go ahead and try to change the thing (s) that is bothering you.

If you cant change it? If there is nothing you can do about it?

Then there is no point in going around frustrated, angry, bugged and bothered for the rest of your life.

Change your attitude. Find something positive in it, make peace with it, learn to live with it. Find a way to enjoy and be happy with life even though that ‘thing (s)’ still exists unchanged.

Here is an example

You have a an old, beat-up, dented car that still runs. You could hate the car because its ugly and people make fun of it. You cannot afford a new one. So you cant do anything about changing the car for a prettier one.

You could be miserable inside hating life because you are stuck driving a ridiculous looking car while everyone else has nicer cars.

Or you could change your attitude and think how lucky you are to have transportation and that you can go wherever you want, when you want.

You can recognize that some people have worse cars then yours or no transportation at all.

You can recognize that car does not define who your are.

Further you could give the car a funny name and affectionately call the car by its name.

Further, you could come up with you own jokes about your car, give it a personality and beat other people to the punch lines. You can get them to laugh and you can have fun owning your very own wonderful Dent-Mobile.

Cultural relativism tends to promote one's own culture. Which of your ancestral culture and traditions are you most proud of?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

"garra charrúa"

Explanation:

I am Uruguayan and one of the aspects of my culture that all Uruguayans are extremely proud of is known as "garra charrúa". This is the underdog personality that Uruguayans demonstrate in everything they do. This is also a way of life passed down from the natives of the country. As Uruguayan citizens we always try our best regardless of what we are trying to accomplish or how impossible it may seem to overcome the obstacles in our way.

How do the results of solitary confinement differ from the overarching goals of the American prison system?

vladimir2022 [97]

I actually have two main sources, plus tad bits that I've learned just researching on the internet.

My first source is one of the Adam Ruins Everything episode on the American Jail systems.

Jails aren't run by the government anymore. Jails, or prisons are money making machines. The government gives them OUR tax money, to keep pretty much innocent people in jail. Why do I say innocent? Because the private jail systems have a minimum amount of people that have to be in their jail. Which means once you enter, they'll keep giving you years for "bad behavior", such as not wanting to mow the lawn for 10 cents an hour.

My second source is a documentary called the "Thirteenth".

Jail systems aren't meant to be places of "rehabilitation". Do you know why? Because back in December 1865, when slavery was no longer legal, former slave owners still need workers to keep their plantations going, but didn't have the money to pay... so here comes our wonderful constitution to the rescue!

The Thirteenth amendment states, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

AH HA! See, right there, "EXPECT AS PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME.". That little loop hole made it so that anything a black, yes a black, person did was a crime. Even accusations that weren't true could land them in jail, and back as a slave.

So if you connect the dots right now, the goal of the overarching prison system is not, and was never about "rehabilitation".

Now, I still have some more to say on this subject. Even if you were to ignore how our wonderful prison system got started, there's solitary confinement to think about.

Solitary Confinement makes people insane. Once one person goes in, and then comes out a completely different person than they were, they're an example to the others.

If our government and our jail systems want to rehabilitate people, and help them enter the work force, and of course, stay out of crime, making people unable to care for themselves is not the way to go.

I hope this helps, and sorry for the long answer.
