Chapter 10 focuses on the environment and development. Many of the effects of development impact the environment greatly, and these negative externalities tend to fall on poor people who don’t have the resources to escape the conditions. The chapter opens with a quote from Nicholas Stern that reads, “The poorest developing countries will be hit earliest and hardest by climate change, even though they have contributed little to causing the problem.” I wanted to talk about this quote and what exactly it means because it’s an important fact that often goes overlooked.…

There are other assumptions were made by his lawyer, and family. For example, Crowe negotiated a plea deal with the D.A. because she assumed that there are no chances of winning the case. On the other hand, Naz’s family assumed that the drugs may be affected on Naz and led him to kill Andrea. However, both those assumptions turned out to be incorrect by the end of the show. Stone assumed that there must be other evidence that proves Naz’s innocence, which turned to be right.…
Dr. Boyce Watkins debates with Michael Eric Dyson on whether or not hip hop artists should be held accountable for their words. Both off these men already know, all of the artist should be held accountable, however if we can put the artist to task to stop making that kind of idiotic music, will we have the power to stop that machine that has rob us blind but still put out recording artists slaves that get plenty but they are selfish and it good and bad to an extent? Dr. Watkins points out, that the fact of us and others being bombarded with these negative images of the young Black Male in the mass media, appears to be taking a heavy toll in terms of the self-image of far too many young Black people and in the way these young people are perceived in the minds of the…
Nagel believes that we are ridiculous creatures in the sense that we can’t prove without a doubt that our projects or goals are valuable. We can’t prove that our pursuits and goals have any value due to the existence of a gap that separates how we perceive a situation and the actual reality of the given situation. By noticing that we are absurd in this sense, we can approach our pursuits and goals with a more spirited attitude in that we think that our pursuits and goals are valuable in order to elude any conflicts with others about whether or not our pursuits have value. Another way to describe this approach would be the reality that everyone has differing values that they hold and the most likely case scenario that we won’t always agree with or support their values. An example of this approach would be an individual who pursues the project of going to Cubs games whenever possible. Say this person meets an individual who dislikes baseball who deems his project has no value due to the Cubs lack of playoff success (prior to this season, of course). That individual wouldn’t take offense or feel wronged by the other’s perception of…
Outraged! After reading Dr. Yalom’s description in regards to his strong hatred toward obese people. “...absurd sidewise waddle,” “...avalanche of flesh,” and his mind yelling, “Stop stuffing yourself! Haven’t you had enough, for Chrissakes?” (97-98). As well as disappointment, knowing a licensed therapist can be bias and prejudice. I was once obese, after I gave birth to my son. I weighted close to 200 pounds and always been chubby all through my childhood. I recall being stared out when eating out with my family. People’s eyes widen while I ate my adult size burger. It was painful, but I love to eat. I bet those people who stared down on me felt the same way Dr. Yalom’s did in this chapter of “Fat Lady.”…

When I first heard Ontario textile artist, Karen Trask, speak in our class on September 20, 2017, I was left hanging by a thread. In fact, it was Trask’s artist talk, combined with my research of Sheila Hicks and Joanna Close, that stirred something buried deep inside me, a yearning to rekindle my knowledge of textiles and fiber creations. Not as the stereotype of ‘women’s work’, but as art in fiber, my identity, and mindfulness. Traditionally, labour intensive skills of knitting, spinning, weaving and other techniques were viewed as ‘craft’ and ‘women’s work.’…

It is genuinely fascinating how prosperous individuals approach problems. Where others see impenetrable obstacles, they see problems to embrace and barriers to overcome. Their confidence in the face of hardship is steered by the ability to let go of the negative attitude that holds most individuals back. A research done by Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania shows that success in life is driven by one key element, whether you have the belief that your failures are produced by your personal deficits beyond your control or that they are mistakes you can fix with effort. Success is not the only thing determined by your way of thinking. Seligman has found much greater rates of depression in people who attribute their failures to personal deficits. Positive thinking individuals fare better because they treat failure as a learning experience. They also believe they can do great in the future. Retaining the success mindset is not simple. There are things that specifically shatter it. These problems drag people down because they appear to be obstacles that cannot be overcome. However, this is not so for the successful ones as these problems never hold them back;…
