"Nobodiness", it was used in Martin Luther King Jrs. "letter from Birmingham jail", about being black was to have a sense of being a "nobody". This feeling effects more people than just that. 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".

People that would also mabey feel like they don't exsist is a new kid at a school. 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. "Nobodiness" is just a name though its up to you to make sure u don't become one in the end.

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.
