I have undoubtedly become more culturally aware than I was before TECH-330. Throughout this class I have learned the importance of keeping an open mind in regard of other cultures and their customs. Furthermore, the assignments and PowerPoints have imparted me with a deeper understanding of how important it is to be culturally aware. This is especially true for business purposes.…
In Neal Shusterman’s Downsiders, Talon lives Downside, that is, underneath New York City. There is a strict code of secrecy among the Downsiders, taboos forbid them from going Topside, but the two worlds collide when Talon ventures up looking for medicine for his sickly sister. Through his journey, he meets Lindsay, a Topside girl who intrigues and lures him so much that he breaks a crucial rule and takes her into the tunnels, to show her his “amazing” side of life right under Grand Central Station, full of unwanted, forgotten items, dryer lint, subway tokens, soda-can tabs-that have become useful, even…beautiful to him. Her visit leads to a threatening chain of events, which seem to affect both top and downsiders.…
Robert Strange McNamara, the longest serving Secretary of State of the United States of America (between 1961 and 1968), is regarded in hindsight as having had both positive and negative impacts on America’s foreign involvement policies. We ask ourselves today whether McNamara, who died in 2009, would be welcomed in heaven, damned to hell or counting clouds while waiting in limbo at the Pearly Gates for his acts.…
What would a person do if they found out that their very own government was killing its people? Definition: False flag (aka Black Flag) operations are covert operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is: flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations and can be used during peace-time. False flags are used primarily by governments or organizations to stage very sophisticated surprise attacks on their own soil, and in…

I took one step into room A232 and had no clue what Col 101 would accomplish. There was barely anything I knew like what the class was about and the material it would involve. The class was a required course every full-time student needed and was worth two credits. People said no heavy, hard information was in there to learn, so there’s no stress. Now that I’m close to completing Col 101, the in depth discussions has taught me the importance and purpose of reaching the worth of my education. We highlighted the three most fundamental topics to succeed in college, which included: self-assessment of personal responsibility, application of self-management, and development of higher learning skills.…
In the most general sense, realism is the view that there are entities in this world that exist that are mind-independent. In essence, scientific realism offers a certain portrayal of what a scientific theory is and what constitutes its acceptance based on truth. A scientific realist holds 2 fundamental principles: science aims to give us a literally true account of what the world is like through theories, and that accepting a scientific theory involves the belief that it is true. In stark contrast to this view, constructive empiricism, or rather scientific anti-realism, holds that acceptance of a scientific theory involves only the belief that the theory is empirically adequate, thus differing from the scientific realist view, however it…

I believe that the best practices in early childhood education include children’s ideas, parent’s values and teacher’s suggestions. All of these will benefit children’s learning as well as give them a good understanding of the environment around them. Teachers should be flexible with the daily schedule and open to different learning opportunities. This way, children will have less structured time and more opportunities to explore and learn. As I observe in some of the childcare centers, children do not have enough time to play or finish their investigation and projects. They are hurried to be putting their toys away, and this does not benefit their learning. Teachers should encourage children to explore and investigate the topic further. The center’s policies should exclude time outs, as it does not improve children’s behavior, but rather stimulates him to get more attention. Teachers should encourage children to solve problems, and help them out if they see that serious issue occurs. Also, the physical environment has a big impact on best practices too. It should be filled with warm colors and feel like home to children. If the children will feel like at home, they will feel safe, which will benefit their learning.…

There are millions of people all over the world who suffer from painful and often terminal diseases. In his article, “How the War on Drugs Punishes Those Who Suffer,” Jason Silverstein explains the reasons for a disparity in available pain medicine between high-income countries and middle to low income countries. The International Narcotics Control Board binds countries to pain medicine quotas by income (Silverstein). In poorer countries around the world, governments focus more on preventing injection drug abuse than they do promoting use of the drugs for pain relief. Silverstein believes that nurses should be able to give patients pain medication. Although there is a large disparity in available pain medication between rich and poor countries, the disparity is due to lack of education and frequent government intervention.…
