Does the Past affect the Present, and How

Does the Past affect the Present, and How

By : Naser Naser

   The past most definitely effects the present in a countless number of ways. Without the past we would have nothing to improve on in the present. The past was the birth of all the objects and things that we have enhanced to be better for our needs in the present.

   An example of how the past is very important towards the present is the development of the iPhone over the course of its years. Today we look down on the old iPhone's such as the iPhone 4 and 5, but if it wasn't for those early phones, than there would have been no further improvement of thought into the phone.

Another example that clearly shows how the past affects the present is the concept of habits and hobbies. If you have experienced something and began to make a habit of it, its because what you have acknowledged yourself about has affected you and made you change into something new in the present. Therefore if you began to start a hobby and play a sport at a young age in the past, then in the present that hobby make play a large role in your life and may even have a career in it.

    The bottom part is definitely true for me. My grandmother used to show me tons of Disney movies & videos growing up (prior to age 5). I can only remember "bits & pieces" of this, but i am certain that this is what started my love & obsession for Disney.

    The part about the iPhones is also true about many other products/companies/industries, such as Animation. Look at how far animation has come since "Snow White" (1937) to "Moana' (2016) or "Cars 3" (2017).

      I understand your idea on, for examples movies and how their plots have changed overtime and how the quality of the movie itself have changed overtime.

    I can most definitely agree with, "Without the past we would have nothing to improve on in the present." One could even go as far as to say that without the past, the present is basically useless or non-existent. As humans, we use the past to better ourselves and learn. If we didn't learn from the past, then we would all basically be barbarians running around.

Leisure Time

As humans we are from a time that without WiFi and TV feels strange, weird, and uncomfortable. In the 20's and 30's entertainment was as simple as it got. You could get drunk if your old enough and if your not then you could go to a movie theater for hours and sit there and have a good time. In the year 2018 its much more different, we still like to go to movie theaters and getting drunk is still a very widespread known thing but in this time of age compared to the past we have a lot more options. Such as we could go on vacations very easily in other countries whenever we want and we technology that can give us a good time such as video games, movies, virtual reality, and many more. The things that gave people in the 20's and 30's entertainment is the same as now but we have a much wider variety of things to do.

Civil Rights Act

The Civil Rights Act ended segregation in many places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, is considered one of the best known national  achievements of the civil rights movement. First introduced by President John F. Kennedy, it survived strong opposition from southern members of Congress and was then signed into law by Kennedy’s "hero", Lyndon Johnson. In following years, Congress expanded the act and passed additional civil rights legislation such as the Voting Rights Act. The Civil Rights Act was a very powerful act even though the protesters used no violence to get their point across. This event was known as a "national cleansing" meaning that America was cleaned from all the racism and segregation and had many new things come up such as hippies, interracial marriage, and a lot more.

Climate Change

Global warming is only ever going to get worse. The fossil fuels that we release out into the air and the factories releasing poisonous gases in the air will only encourage the process of the globe heating up. Most of the ways the earth is heating are up are ways that we have never heard of but I am here to make this situation heard.    In the 1990s, scientists were scrambling to fill a huge gap in the systems that measure the Earth's warming climate. Space satellites suggested the missing pieces might be found in the vast expanses of the world's oceans, which store more than 90 percent of the heat the planet receives from space. We must act now and take much higher precautions towards saving our planet. Many species are significantly decreasing and even more of them are extinct because of global warming. There are so many solutions such as solar panels and reduce the waste emitted by factories but they are still not the significant change that this world is entirely benef
