Narrative Review

The kind of life Lafeyette and Pharoah lead show the efforts that kids put in place to just be kids. Despite the situations they find themselves in, deep inside they still remain kids.

Just like many other children, I can relate to the difficult situation that Lafeyette and Pharoah grew in. Henry Horner homes were characterized by poor facilities such as lighting and broken down mailboxes. The issue Continue reading...

We are fortunate to live in a pleasant neighborhood, looking out onto public gardens with grassy areas, sandy walkways, and an attractive selection of different tree types – all installed and maintained by the municipality. So far, so good. However, the problem arises because the gardens are also attractive to many dog owners, who see these gardens as a more enjoyable area for dog walking than (presumably) their own immediate neighborhood. Or maybe some of them live in apartments having no green areas nearby. In which case, it is understandable that they want to walk their pets somewhere away from Continue reading...

On a post-humanist approach, the environment is the major cause of the capitalism plight.

This crisis was characterized by the fight between a man versus man (war between capitalists) and man versus nature (man versus the resources available).
