Even though, so called “radical thinkers,” come in all shapes and sizes and have different ideologies, would they perhaps support one another’s philosophies? Friedrich Nietzsche’s out take on Christianity is, let’s face it, quite ominous, compared to certain important historical leaders such as, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but their ideologies might not be so far off. Both Nietzsche and Dr. King were thought of as “radical thinkers,” and are still thought of as “radical thinkers” till this day, for completely separate reasons. But I believe that their motivations/motives are the reason why their views in morality are equivalent in seriousness to; fundamentally the same. Even though these two great “critical thinkers” have opposing views in certain important issues, such as Christianity, I believe that if Nietzsche were to have lived during Dr. King’s time, he would agree with certain philosophies that Dr. King had.…

In the beginning of my freshman year in high school I have always been into JROTC, which led me to understand others and be a well-communicating person. It all started four years ago when I joined JROTC. I wanted to see how it worked and how it was beneficial to me. I must admit it was difficult in the beginning with being shy and not knowing what exactly I got myself into but that quickly changed once I started going to parades and football games.…
This semester has had a lot of work especially in English II, but I’m glad it was like that because I have learned a lot in my English class. I’ll be talking about a few things that I learned this semester. Like discrimination, debating, and how to convince people to change their mind about something.…
The earth is literally melting. Global warming is causing the earth to overheat. This is the result of emissions released into the atmosphere through greenhouse gases and human activity. There are numerous reasons as to why this is happening and causing the earth to increase in temperature. Global warming occurs all over the world, and has been happening for many years now. Food shortages, contaminated water, extreme weather, and deadly heat threaten human health because of the rising temperatures. To this day, global warming has not only affected humans, but has…
A Sound of Thunder and Nethergrave were two both amazing Stories. I loved them both, but there was one story that stood out above the other. This one particular story was Nethergrave. Nethergrave was an amazing lit up story it literally caught my attention immediately, it was so interesting and good it caught my eye at the very beginning. A Sound of Thunder was also an amazing story but I loved Nethergrave a bit more because it was more of one of those stories that just grabbed my attention. The main thought in my head while I was reading A sound of Thunder was why is the story called A sound of thunder that thought just kept running thru my mind but when I got to finish it I understood it and It was a great story. Nethergrave was basically about a boy who Felt All Alone and just wanted somebody to talk to make jokes with and play around with and that is why he lied to his friends on the internet probably because he wanted them to think he was cool and not some skinny kid who had no friends at all. This story was a good learning experience for me because It can teach someone don’t be afraid to tell the truth even if someone cant except you for who you are that’s their loss because you are probably a great person. Jeremy knew that that other kids didn’t want to be his friends so he met some online friends and they were nice to him because they did not know about the real him and he didn’t know about the real them. Basically what the story is saying is be yourself and don’t lie to be accepted. This was an amazing story and I loved…
Spring break of 2004 started out with what seemed like a fun family camping excursion but turned into a nightmare of a trip that I will never forget. I had been excitedly planning this trip all winter, just waiting for spring to arrive and my week long vacation to begin! The plan was for my parents, my brother, and I to all make a road trip from Texas to Oklahoma in an RV that we rented. We would camp two nights in Oklahoma and then drive to Arkansas and camp the next two nights there before heading back home. Little did we know what kinds of disasters awaited us on our trek across the south. We were all packed and prepared for a sunny week enjoying nature and all its beauty, or so we thought...…
I hoped to gain a better knowledge of my least favorite subject to better prepare me for college and was not disappointed. It was the hardest class I’ve ever taken. I stayed awake late week nights to study. I was making Cs on tests for the first time, and I became discouraged at times. When I realized that I would not ‘get by’’ without a better study method, I forced myself to develop a more vigorous work ethic. It was miserable yet wonderful because in the long run I learned just how much I could achieve through determination.…
July 1993, Lexington, Kentucky. A woman gives birth to a beautiful baby girl with seven holes in her heart; thus began 19 years of visits to an esteemed cardiologist. Extremely worried, her parents inquired regarding their daughter's future, alleviating their worries, the doctor's advice to them was to be diligent and "treat her as you would a normal child." Knowing I have been different did not stop me from participating fully in life, especially during my childhood. In December 2012, we received the wonderful news that the final hole had closed. The odds were in my favor since I have been lucky to have never needed surgery, nor required hospital care from a critical injury. I believe that there is a reason I exist on this earth; and my blueprint…
During this class I have made two self- discoveries that will positively impact my career goals. Those self- discoveries has helped to mold, and shape me into a student that I have never thought I would be. Those discoveries were that I am an organized learner, because I made a study plan to help me determine when, and how I would study. Being that I have five children, I had to make sure that I had set a schedule so that my course work including study time would not affect my family time and take away from spending time with my children and fiance`. Since these are the competing priorities in my life right now learning to obtain trust and consistency in the home while I have been attending school has also improved because not only do I see my success so does my children and fiancé. Knowing that I had that support also has made it possible to do my best in school, setting the pace for them to do the same in school also, whether it be good grades, sports, etc. I know that they will continue to be good at what they do and have proven to do so time after time.…
The transition from high school to college can fluster many college freshmen. Specifically, the change from high school courses to college courses can be difficult. While many high school classes were preparatory for a future university and have similarities to these courses, there are obvious differences that make adjusting for a first year student somewhat difficult.…
Likewise, I think that the writing assignments for graduate school will require more thorough research, as well as, require us to provide evidence to support the idea. I think of it as--- the topic will be the problem and we will have to prove it to be true or false with statistical data and factual data. I believe the topics will be more specific and geared towards a specific category such as: criminal justice, homeland security, corrections, and etc. Overall, I think the writing assignments on the graduate level will provide us with the tools we will need when completing written documentation in our professional…
