I think the tools offered to help enhance my academic studies are great! I have enjoyed the audio and visual data that has supplemented my assignments. I was able to download one of my lessons onto my ipod to listen to when I was at the doctor's office. This enabled me to complete my lesson away from home without wasting time.…
Olaudah Equiano’s life as a slave was different compared to the other slave stories we have known. His experiences as a slave were actually pretty amazing. Some of his masters treated him as part of their family which was rarely to happen for a slave. In addition, he was able to go around and explore the world; but that's not it, he even purchased his own freedom. One of the bad things that I considered really changed his life was when he and his sister was abducted to sell and later on got separated from one another. This could highly affect a person’s different aspect of his or her life especially when they're close to whoever they got separated from. Equiano used that separation with his sister to keep on traveling farther from home rather…
I think Marist is a good match for me because Marist offers many classes that will further expand my knowledge. Moreover, when I visited the Marist campus I fell in love with the feel of the campus and the atmosphere. Even though I grew up close to the campus it still feels like I'm away from home.…

There is not a single feeling greater than the one you experience when you make a positive impact on someone else’s life. Thankfully, I was able to experience that in my junior year. My high school has a program called Link Crew that is designed to help alleviate the anxiety of freshmen’s transition in to high school. When I signed up to get involved, I never realized how strongly it would affect not only my life, but also the life of everyone else who came in contact with it one way or another. Junior year was my first year involved in the program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to handle it because it was a club that required a large time commitment. I was already involved in my advisory board, student council, and also I had been on the varsity softball team for both years prior to my junior year, along with working anywhere from three to five days a week. It was a very busy time in my life for a while, but I soon came to realize that Link Crew was completely worth it once I started seeing the effect it had on my school.…

After reading this week’s reading of Just Mercy, I learned that Bryan experienced a very different meeting with Henry than he thought it was going to be like. Bryan thought that Henry was going to be rude and heartless being, yet this was not the case. After Henry was taken from the room, Bryan proceeded to say “I sat down completely stunned…I didn’t expect him to be compassionate or generous” (Stevenson, 2014, p. 12). As well, he stated, “in that moment, Henry altered something in my understanding of human potential, redemption, and hopefulness” (Stevenson, 2014, p. 12). Going into their meeting, Bryan had his own idea of how a condemned individual should be and Henry completely changed his view. More importantly, Henry changed how Bryan saw…

1. Some existentialist do believe in God and some do not. Being an existentialist does not necessarily involve denying the possibility of a higher power. Existentialism is a philosophical position that advocates 1) the individual's absolute freedom and full capacity to determine its place in the world; 2) the individual as indefinable, as outside of all systems and totalities. The individual is only defined on the basis of what they do, and with each action they change who they are. For Sartre, at least, we can only define what a person is when they have died. Existentialism is said to begin with Soren Kierkegaard, who is a Christian existentialist. For Kierkegaard, the human individual is outside of all systems, and is irreducibly singular. He is a Christian existentialist because he claims that a personal relationship with God is the highest accomplishment of human existence. As an existentialist, he opposes what he calls "Christiandom", which is basically organized religion in which the individual loses itself in a group mentality. Religion is a personal event for Kierkegaard, not a communal one. Christian existentialism relies on Kierkegaard's understanding of Christianity. Kierkegaard argued that the universe is fundamentally paradoxical, and that its greatest paradox is the transcendent union of God and humans in the person of Jesus Christ. He also posited having a personal relationship with God that supersedes all prescribed moralities, social structures and communal norms, since he asserted that following social conventions is essentially a personal aesthetic choice made by individuals. Kierkegaard proposed that each person must make independent choices, which then constitute his existence. Each person suffers from the anguish of indecision until he commits to a particular choice about the way to live. Kierkegaard also proposed three rubrics with which to understand the conditions that issue from distinct life choices: the…

Did you know that education plays an important role in our nation? This is why deciding to go back to school was one of the smartest decisions I have made in my life.

Last week we learned about organizational behavior. We learned that it is a key and critical part of any organization. The study Organizational behavior shows how an organization relationship with its staff affects the company’s performance. Organizational behavior dictates employee morale and employee turnover. An organization needs to target and develop good managers. Good managers help promote one of the hardest things to have a happy hard working employee. Every company needs a motivational leader that has good people and communication skills. We learned about systematic studies and looking at relationships, cause and effects and conclusion based on scientific evidence. Evidence based management complements systematic studies by basing management’s decisions on the best available scientific evidence.…
1.Poems for me are about things you can relate on to. Poems are often written as a reflection of life, from the point of view of either the writer of the poem, or of the character that the writer is trying to portray. This is where someone is being sensible. The main thing about poems are that, they are something someone writes to express, such are the like of songs and other compositions. Filipino writers are more of that, they involve themselves into it to create something from it, such that when readers read it, they can feel the emotions that is being imaged-out from it. From the poem “The Rural Maid” the poet expresses the deep love of the person who fell in love with a maid, who couldn’t by chance be his/her. To anyone who had ever been in this situation they call “Forbidden love” could deeply remorse over the feeling. Even with others who have not felt this way will come to feel the emotions portrayed by the poet. This reason why poems are much more than words than can give meaning to anyone.Poets are living a life for things they write and their emotions are more than felt but also respected, for without it what are words when not spoken, felt or acted on? This is how the poem is imaged to every reader.…
The Sophists believed that truth is based on relativism. Relativism is the belief that knowledge is determined by specific qualities of the observer, including ethnicity, age, gender, religious training, and cultural conditioning. The Sophists taught that we only believed things that seem true according to our culture. They also taught that individuals only believe that their ways are best because that is what truth within their culture is. The Sophists also break down relativism into two basic variants. The two basic variants are cultural relativism and individual relativism. Socrates argued that in order for individuals to know the truth they had to know themselves first. He believed that human beings always seek what they believed to be their own welfare. He also believed that when people do bad things, it is always with some good in mind. Socrates taught that in order to “know myself,” I have to know what kind of person I am. Without this knowledge you cannot know what is good for you. Socrates believed that no one knowingly does wrong. He also believed that knowledge always produces behavioral results, because behavior is always guided by beliefs. The Sophists looked outward of well-being and success, and Socrates looked inward at character.…
In completing this task, I have got many experiences. In my opinion, this task is one of the most challenging tasks.

Actually, it is not too easy for me. But thank god I have done it finally. Praise be upon Him for giving me the strength to complete this task and I have make serious efforts to submit the task before the due date.…
