<view this essay>.... jungle originally referred to the tangled, brushy vegetation of
lowlands in India, but it has come to be used for any type of tropical

Fast Food Reality
<view this essay>.... American fast food is not healthy and most of it leads to obesity and might cause cardiovascular problems. It also contributes to polluting the environment.

<view this essay>.... everyone would take a brief moment to see the shining wit or
loving personality in a person instead of his or her body, then the world would unmistakably be a better

An unalterable condition in human society is that the lowest cannot be made equal with the highest. Nature is vain. However, these conditions are adapted to benefit both individuals as well as the community. Life requires varied aptitudes, diverse services, and miscellaneous types of people to carry on its affairs as life as a whol .....

athletic abilities to participate in softball. I have no regrets on .....

Mcdonaldization Of Society
<view this essay>.... Efficiency means
choosing the optimum means to an given end. In our society, people like to have things
go as quickly and as smoothly as possible, but they do not want to find out the fastest way
themselves. Instead, people like to have a system that has already been used and that they
know works. Efficiency has its advantages for both consumers, who get what they want
quickly and with little effort, and for workers, who can perform their tasks in a simple
manner. The fast food industry is very streamlined, because hamburgers are the simplest
food there is to make. Other foods also do not need a lot of ingredients, and they are
simple to make .....

For example, he did tests on many patients in which he would use external forces to see if it would indeed effect their .

Then he placed a drop of water on the patient's forehead, and the patient dreamt he was in Italy, and sweating violently while drinking Orvieto wine. So this would be one theory to how come about.
