According to the website ProCon.org, “An estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing.” To begin with, animal testing is not ethical, even if it is for the greater good. To add on, animal testing is not ethical because many animals result in severe conditions from animal testing, animal testing does not always give accurate results, and there are other ways to test a drug for its safety in a human.

It was New York City, in 2038. Genesis, who had blonde hair and freckles all over her face, lived in a small college dorm. She lived happily on a $19 wage per hour. She was kind and outgoing and had a great friend group, Adrianna and Kelly. Routinely, she cared for her small tomato plant from her grandma. Moreover, she used her savings to learn tennis. “Shoot, I think I’ll be late today,” Genesis hesitated. Genesis stuffed her food into her mouth and brushed off the crumbs from the cookie that was as hard as a rock, but still edible. Then, she tied the shoelaces on her freshly bought shoes.

Imagine being able to feel the Eiffel Tower, swim with sharks, or even climb a mountain all in the comfort of your living room. In a world dominated by technology, this could be possible. Whether it be meeting with friends who live in another country, swimming with fish, or even feeling the Statue of Liberty. Authentically, these things would be done in real life. But, in a world dominated by technology, there are many ways of doing authentic things in an inauthentic way.

Miep Gies' Diary Entry:
Hello, my name is Miep Gies. I am a helper for Mr. Frank and his family, as well as the Van Daan family. I do not know if our fate will end up well, but no matter what I am determined to help these people. Later, I must go out and collect rations, but I must do it carefully, for those in hiding must be very much hidden from the outside world, so I must make sure their names will not be on any of the ration books. I want to be able to help those in hiding as much as I can, and must I say that Mr. Frank had done so much for me before this. Now, I feel the duty of helping him and his own family and many more.

To begin with, governments can use propaganda to create a false idea about someone or something to ultimately create either a positive or negative stereotype. For example, the Nazi used propaganda to create a negative stereotype about the Jews. Moreover, the image below shows an example of Nazi propaganda that was used to create a negative stereotype about the Jews. Additionally, this image from the US Holocaust Museum website portrays a stereotyped Jew that conspires behind the scenes to control the Allied powers, in which the Allied powers were portrayed as the flags. Furthermore, this sets a negative stereotype for the Jews because the Allied powers were enemies of the Nazi. Ultimately, this Nazi propaganda portrayed Jews being the ones engaged in conspiracy to provoke war. To conclude, propaganda can manipulate someone’s thinking.

(The Authentic vs. The Inauthentic)

To begin with, there is much evidence in metaverse articles that have the overall theme of The Authentic vs. The Inauthentic. For example, the article 'Humans Will Live In the Metaverse Soon', Claims Mark Zuckerburg. What About Reality? states "All of the benefits we get from meeting in person, or even via video chats, can be recreated in VR, according to Zuckerburg.." This gives an example of the theme of Authentic vs. Inauthentic because authentically, people meet up in person. But, the inauthentic version of this is meeting up in VR. Another quote that gives evidence of the theme of Authentic vs. Inauthentic is when the article Metaverse clothing, travel, plastic surgery: Experts predict life in 2030 says "Imagine scaling Everest, swimming with hammerheads or skydiving over the Grand Canyon --- without ever leaving your living room." In this case, authentically you would have to scale Mount Everest, swim with hammerheads, or skydive over the Grand Canyon in real life. But, in this case, you could inauthentically do all of this through the metaverse. In conclusion, this is proof that lots of evidence of the theme of The Authentic vs. The Inauthentic can be found through articles about the metaverse.

I am from the palm trees, the glistening sunshine, and the blooming flowers.

I am from the scent of freshly made burgers and fries, both made to be juicy and

scrumptious.

I am the oeuvre of a journal filled with stickers and art, all creative.

I am the palm tree that waves in the warm summer air, though it may falter, it should

still wave and stand in the ground.

I’m from a shopping place that’s full of little inexpensive treats and big pricey items.

I’m from the veins of the body, the cells, and the heart, though one may break down, the others may try to save it so that the body or the heart of the family is well.

I am the oldest of the other, reigning 3 years of age more.

I am like the color purple, though it may not appease to all, it can still look pleasing to others.

I am from a small cozy home, though not big and large, it may still provide happiness and shelter.

I am like the waves of the glistening ocean, they may be calm or they may be raging.

I am like the blooming flowers of the bush, though similar to many of its kind, it may still be different from the rest.

I am like the scent of fresh air to someone, or perhaps the smell of art.

Though I also may smell like the scent of fur of a furry friend.

I am from a big neighborhood, full of palm trees, fresh grass, and sunny sunshine.

I am like the taste of ice cream, all different and unique to please your appetite.

I’m from the beaches of sand, where many come to seek and make sand castles.

Where the sunshine shines, where the sunsets arise.

I am from a place full of people, where there are many attractions here to please.

I’m from the state of gold, where many come to seek more.

Greetings President Roosevelt,

I am writing to inform you about the dangers of Executive Order 9066. First, I’d like to tell you that the Executive Order 9066 is unconstitutional and that you should stop it now. Under the Fifth Amendment, you have denied Japanese Americans their rights. You have also broken the Constitution under the 14th Amendment, which is basically giving equal rights to all citizens, including Japanese American citizens.

Moreover, I want you to take action and stop this act of putting people of any sort of Japanese descent into internment camps, for I am sure most or all of us are not spies for the Japanese government. Furthermore, I’d like to inform you of the horrible conditions of the internment camps you are putting us in. In Camp Harmony, there are homes that are the size of a living room where an entire family may be squished together into it as their home. My friend in Camp Harmony has even described the homes in Camp Harmony as an oversized chicken farm. She even told me she felt like a criminal because of the fence surrounding her.

Additionally, people have even thrown rocks at Japanese Americans, even though they are not spies for the Japanese government. Furthermore, I want to address that you have done a horrible act with Executive Order 9066 and I advise you to take action and stop Executive Order 9066. Finally, I urge you to think about how you are putting all of us in America who have Japanese descent into internment camps, even though most or all of us are probably not spies for the Japanese government. Thank you very much, President Roosevelt.

From Yua
