    The Meaning of Creativity Opportunities for creativity are all around us‚ but how often do we recognize them? Creativity is defined as “creative ability or process‚” but I think this definition trivializes what creativity is and does and can do for everyone who will learn to use it appropriately and often. Based on my observations‚ experiences‚ and readings‚ creativity can be a daily exercise in self-discovery in addition to a quest for knowledge‚ which is why all teachers should be creative

    assonance’s and the hard T and L sounds gave the poem intensity. I also like how the poem represents how poetry should be. For example‚ line 10 says “Over his head‚ make him scramble to pick up the meaning.” Poetry is supposed to be challenging‚ surprise the reader and makes them think what the deeper meaning is; which creates interest. If poetry was simple and easy to read it would be a short narrative story and be engaging or satisfying. The poem was a great representation of what poetry should be

    truly appreciate Thanksgiving for what it is. I have a lot of good memories of Thanksgivings past‚ full of family‚ friends‚ and food. So it’s no surprise that Thanksgiving means a lot to me. But like many other Americans‚ I forget about the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Despite not being as money-oriented as modern-day Christmas‚ Thanksgiving is in danger of becoming a holiday centered more on the self‚ rather than on giving. And wouldn’t that be sad? Sure‚ we DO need to give thanks on Thanksgiving

    The Meaning Of Ogle

    • 306 Words

    The dictionary meaning of Ogle is to stare someone in a lecherous manner‚ meaning in a sexual desire. I believe the way Ogle app defines their app is deceptive. Ogle allows students to place comments‚ pictures‚ and videos on feeds for specific high schools and college campuses. This application is anonymous and it leads to cyberbullying and violence. This app has brought lots of attention in the past few weeks. Most students are getting distracted and are using Ogle during class time to post

    • 6 Pages

    Culture is a term which is brandished with little regard to its actual meaning‚ likely due to the fact that there are hundreds of definitions trying to capture the essence of culture. One such definition‚ provided in a social psychology textbook‚ states that culture is ‘the enduring behaviours‚ ideas‚ attitudes‚ and traditions shared by a large group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next ’ (Myers & Spencer‚ 12). While this is a workable explanation of culture‚ in that it captures

    What’s the meaning of life? Life‚ the most precious thing I have ever seen‚ that always comes to an end which we don’t really want to‚ but do we live for a precise purpose? I am sure that we do otherwise we wouldn’t be here in the first place. I never thought that asking myself” what is the meaning of life?” will be this difficult to answer until I started writing this paper. I think the meaning of life is experience and knowledge.
