"We choose to go to the moon" Speech.
On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered his "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech to a crowd of thousands at Rice University Stadium in Houston, Texas. The country was unsure about the time and cost of sending a man to the moon, and President Kennedy's speech addressed their uncertainty. Read the excerpts from Kennedy's speech. Then, respond to the prompt that follows.


I am delighted to be here, and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.


Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.


If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space.


Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it—we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace.


We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.


We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Parents are responsible for the way their child performs at

Personal Initiative in Work

The current education system hinders children's creativity.

Schools should include more creative arts in their syllabus.

Children have come to rely on external motivation to do

work.

O

Examinations and grades are unnecessary.

In their work, too, we are too apt to

interfere with children. We all know the

delight with which any scope for personal

initiative is hailed, the pleasure children take

in doing anything which they may do their

own way; anything, in fact, which allows room

for skill of hand, play of fancy, or

development of thought. With our present

theories of education it seems that we cannot

give much scope for personal initiative. There

is so much task-work to be done, so many

things that must be, not learned, but learned

about, that it is only now and then a child

gets the chance to produce himself in his

work. But let us use such opportunities as

Please write a conclusion for this argumentative essay. (It doesn't have to be good I just need an idea of what to write.)

Intro: “The trade in exotic animals is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry.” “Millions of wild animals, including reptiles, large felines, nonhuman primates, and others, are kept in private possession in the U.S.” and are being mistreated due to this fact. One might take an exotic animal as a pet with the idea that it's "cool", or even, possibly, that they are helping the pitiful creatures. But what is really happening is that corrupt associations are profiting off of these animals as a result of people lacking knowledge about exotic animals. Exotic animals should not be kept as pets.
Body Paragraph 1: As stated before, people often will take in an exotic, or wild, pet just for vain purposes, “it’s cute”, or because it might be “cool”. Of course, there are also those who have a natural affinity for animals, and genuinely want to care for or be close to them. As a result of this, many of these animals are being mistakenly, sometimes purposely, mistreated because the owners do not have the right resources or knowledge to care for these animals. “Zoos, pet stores and exotic pet expos often include a hands-on component that, similarly to television media, creates a fabricated intimacy between people and wildlife that mirrors how they interact with domesticated pets” and “The results of these findings reveal that the main motivation for people obtaining exotic pets is because of their high affection and desire to be close to animals.”, are inquisitions made by Samantha Kieswetter for Zoocheck Inc. that show the reasons for getting exotic pets. The only circumstance in which one should have an exotic animal in their care, not being an animal organization or a zoo, is if they have the proper means to care for these animals.

Body Paragraph 2: Further reasoning is that these animals do not belong in captivity. The National Library of Medicine explains why keeping exotic animals is ill-advised. More common pets, such as dogs and cats, are more accustomed to being pets. But animals like, say, foxes are not adapted to abiding amongst humans, and as a result, are more bestial. If people kept domesticated animals they would be safer, and these peculiar animals they desire would suffer less.

Body Paragraph 3: One might say that owning exotic pets is the best and no matter what it should be legal. Although it may be fun to own an exotic animal one must consider the consequences. Humans are hurting these animals, and these animals could also hurt people. Born Free USA reveals that exotic animals suffer under the care of separate persons due to the inability of one to care properly for these animals. Many would be safer and these peculiar animals they desire would suffer less if we were to leave them in proper care.

Conclusion: In the final analysis,
