Teaching staff in our schools lack the time provided in Japanese schools to brainstorm or work together on lesson planning and many times different classes in the same grade level will learn (or not learn) different concepts, depending on an individual teachers focus or lack of time.

Although the sea can intrigue and inspire people, it can also instill and command fear and respect. Hurricanes can produce chaotic winds, rain, and waves, each powerful enough to destroy creations, both man-made and heavenly. Ferocious hundred mile an hour winds have the capability to rip trees from their stronghold in the ground, and cave in buildings constructed of concrete. The sea does not appear so interesting and peaceful when nature destro .....

Another problem which occurs inside all humans, is the worry that they will go through life alone without being able to find the perfect mate. This was the case in, Frankenstein, where the monster was very depressed because he was always so lonely. He was not able to pick any woman for all the women were different than he was.

He wanted to live his life as simple as he could, so he had nothing but what he felt were the necessities. By doing this he found the divine within himself.
