cause of this somewhat absurd statistic and who is to blame? Have the teachers relied too heavily on the banking-system and oppressed the creative and critical thinking aspect of schooling, or are students at fault for their economic status and not putting in the necessary effort. Who is at fault in the education system? At first glance the blame starts to lean towards the student. “Experts agree that a large part of the dropout problem can be traced to social, economic and cultural factors that…
The Fault in our Financial Aid Process Thousands of people dedicate their life to working in the financial aid field, and billions of people are sent financial aid daily; nevertheless, the system has flaws that must be modified. Financial aid is sent out to millions of people who do not use the money in the intended manner who, consequently, are stealing from our government.

The source of most of the problems was Juliet. Juliet could have avoided all the issues by not marrying Romeo. Juliet’s decisions ultimately lead to the death of Tybalt, Mercutio, Romeo, her mother and herself. The first reason why it is Juliet’s fault is because she got married to Romeo without her parents knowing. “Come, come with me, and we will make short work, For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till Holy Church incorporate two into one.” (Shakespeare 420) Back when the story…
All of the tragedies written so far in history have one thing in common; they all have a person at fault. Many of these faults are caused by emotions and specifically, love. Such is the case in what is one of William Shakespeare 's most memorable plays. “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” (2.2. 36), is a famous quote from this romantic, tragic story, Romeo and Juliet. Here, Juliet is asking why Romeo is a Montague, the son of the enemy family, and why she cannot marry him. At the end of…
responsible for the deaths of Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Polonius. Hamlet uses Ophelia as a release for his disgust and anger towards his mother, and does not realize that he was the cause of her insanity. Regardless of his many faults, he is looked upon kindly with his faults being overshadowed by his positive qualities. How could somebody with as many negative qualities like indecisiveness, hastiness, hate, ferocity, and obsession be perceived as a hero for his…
Tragic outcomes are often blamed on either fate and unforeseen circumstances, or being the fault of decisions gone wrong. The latter is very clearly seen in Hamlet, and how he is killed due to his own shortcomings. There is an example of his inability to complete the task he took upon himself to complete when he is watching Claudius praying and he has an opportunity to kill him. Instead he begins to think twice: “And now i’ll do’t. And so ‘a goes to heaven; And so am i reveng’d. That would be…
Public Schools Attributes and Faults Public schools in America all have strong suits and not so strong suits. My background in public education has enlightened me on how the system is spot on and how it is flawed. Any system in the world has a downside somewhere if it was a perfect system then why would we need school boards to approve and disapprove of changes to the system. The world is ever changing with technology and developments in society some material is unnecessary and other new…
The Fault in Their Time Romeo and Juliet opens with a summary of the events to come. The audience is told that the ”star-crossed” lovers are “death-marked”, that the main characters are already dead through the fault of fate. However, apart from this explicit mention of fate, and perhaps contrary to the young lover’s beliefs, Romeo and Juliet don’t seem to be governed by the cosmos at all. In fact, they seem to be most governed by the fleeting nature of time and their exceedingly impatient…
“The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, does it meet with the traditions of other well-known works of literature? John Green has written several books and is considered to be a #1 bestselling author. He has won awards such as the Printz Medal, and the Edgar Award (Green) but would his recent book hold up under the test of traditions that made books such as “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London a great piece of literature? Historical works of literature written many years ago, these works of…
