People subject to; bullieing and objectification, people treat them like they're a "nobody, an object, thing. the bullies act as if the person has no feelings and degrades them until the person feels "Nobodiness".

He or she wouldn't know anyone nore would the other students know them because "nobody" knows the new person.Some people that have there identity stolen become a nobody, because no one knows who the real person is.

Albom and Morrie from the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" helped me realized that life isn't just a thing it has a perpose and you as a perpouse have a "moral job" to take on. Give what you can to people, and share compasion and love with others. Giving somthing doesnt have to necessarily be an object, but Knowlage experiance oppinions, its just a matter of how you take it in. Reading this book has made me speak out more on what I believe and how it may benifite other people. Also not being afraid to give my advise to someone on what to do. My dad says "A teacher knows not of their influence".

Many people will agree that joy is important to their life and to human existence; some will admit that they have experienced moments of great joy. Joy, however, is not a concept that frequently appears in day-to-day discourse. Very often happiness and pleasure are the concepts used in everyday language, even when people describe joyful experiences. In short, the difference between joy and happiness or pleasure is not clear cut in everyday usage.

This situation is reflected in the definition of joy given in The New Oxford Dictionary. Among other definitions are found: 1. Vivid emotion of pleasure arising from a sense of well-being or satisfaction; the feeling or state of being highly pleased or delighted; 2. Pleasurable state or condition; a state of happiness or felicity.
Joy is somthing that comes to us with a mixture of emotions both pleasurable and frighting, but joy is joy and its an emotion we all share.

In the book "The Kite Runner" the author has an internal argument about not tell anyone what he say happen to Hissan after Hissan went to go get Amir the kite he had beatin. this is used to describe the internal argument if Amir should tell people about what he witnessed. I felt disapointed in Amirs' desicion on not to tell anyone and how he let that make Hissan and his father move due to how it would have caused a problem amongst the two. To me it wasn't right of Amir to fram Hissan for stealing his watch t force them to leave, He should have from the beginning stood up against the people in the ally and told His father and Hissans father about what had tookin place.

N!&&#* on national telivision, It is a word that can be affencive but what happen to freedom of speech. There are plenty more words that should and should be "bleeped out", if it's used in the wrong way. If you use it from a historical stand point it's ok because Negro was the name for African Amaricans in the Civil War and long before that. Yet if u use it in these music videos its perfectly ok with talking about how this nigga got shot this nigga is lame, no not cool. It all depends on the concesses of how it is used.

Is there such a thing as nonconformity?

Yes, the people who don't pay taxes aren't conforming to the federal IRS laws. Weather intentional or simple cannot afford to it is manditory.
Also speeding, people who drive beyond the speed limit. They may be late for work or simply feel they are above the law. It is still illegal to exceed the speed limit.
Last example of nonconformity I have is, doing homework. weather you choose not to do it or simply forget there are consequences for not turning in.

• A jet engine and a combustion engine, on planes. 

A jet engine sucks oxygen, heats it and forces it out the tail pipe of the engine creating thrust to sum it up. A combustion engine sucks air in to the carborater putting oxygen into the cylinders to help spark the gases in the engine to make the the piston push the crank to turn the prop. The prop cuts through the and pulls the plane through the sky. Both jet and combustion engines relying on air to make them work. A jet engine has fans whish create the suction that pulls in the air and instead of pistons theres chambers that compress air.
Diffrent parts same concept.

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner takes place in both Afghanistan and California. It's told from the perspective of Amir, first as a little boy and later on as a man. Amir grows up a privileged boy in Afghanistan. His best friend is Hassan, the son of the family servant. Amir is Pashtun, Hassan is Hazara. Amir is Sunni, Hassan is Shi'a. Their differences don't change the fact that these boys were breastfed together, learned to crawl together and are basically inseparable. Then everything changes. Amir witnesses a horror done to Hassan and cannot forgive himself for not stepping in to help him and to do what is right. In 1975 Afghanistan is in turmoil and Amir, then 12 years old, and his father move to San Francisco. Amir grows up feeling guilt and self-hatred over the issue with Hassan and the subsequent results. Then one day, twenty five years after Amir has left Afghanistan, he receives a phone call summoning him back to the place he had hoped to forget. The caller tells Amir "there is a way to be good again."

The Kite Runner has for it's hero a very flawed human being.....but that's what makes him so believable. Amir the boy does a very cowardly, dastardly deed but Amir the man stands up to the Taliban and even more importantly, he stands up for what is right. This book has forgiveness, redemption and courage for it's main themes. We see how strong the ties of friendship and loyalty can become through the eyes of Amir and a broken little Afghan boy. The setting in Kabul and the culture of the Afghan people make for an interesting backdrop to an unforgettable novel.

 Fighting someone isn't going to solve anything but if i use my head and just be smarter than them than I shall be victorious over them. Also this influences politics today how we dont solve diputes between countries agressivly, at least as best as we can. For instance North Korea and the 2 girls taking hostage.
