...home after dinner when he was doing his homework. The setting of this conversation took place at our kitchen table when I was looking over my son’s folder so that I could initial it on the square that has the graded color for the day. His teacher requires the parents to initial the folder everyday, that way she knows that we are actually looking at our kid’s folders. The first thing I noticed when I opened my son’s folder was that the color green was marked in pretty dark for that day, it seemed as if he put a lot of pressure on the green marker. Next to his color there was a note from the teacher that read, “Xavier had a rough day at school today because he cut Rosaura’s hair with a pair of scissors.” I immediately turned to my son and asked him if he had cut a classmates hair with scissors. The expression on his face changed from a smile to a frown before I even finished my question. He knew that he did something wrong before he even came home that day. The goal of the upcoming conversation was not to make him feel guilty for what he did to his classmate but to make him understand that it is not okay to lie to your parents, the truth always comes to light.

...Situation Ethics General Principles: 1. Middle Way between Legalism and Antinomianism (e.g. Enron - if it had loving intentions then it would have been OK). Only break law if most loving outcome in given situation; teleological (e.g. Hiroshama/Nagasaki justified because ends war?) "it relativises the absolute, it does not absolutise the relative" 2. Conscience; what it is and what it is not (e.g. Nike - love = non-preferencial therefore should treat workers well - factory in Indonesia 177x legal toxic fume limit). [ NOT: 1. intuition/inner-feeling, 2. "guidance by the holy spirit" external decision maker, 3. "internalised value system of the culture and society", 4. "reason making moral judgements" (Aquinas). ] WHAT IT IS: function, not a faculty - something you do, rather than have, verb not a noun, there is no "conscience", just a word for "our attempts to make decisions" (e.g. Huckleberry Finn decides to befriend slave, Jim). "Antecedant rather than consequent conscience" - prospective, not retrospective (no guilt/regret/hindsight etc) 3. The idea of situation (e.g. Fletcher's lifeboat - captain orders sailors to jump overboard to save women & children). "Unique and concrete moment in which the decision is required" - every situation is unique/relative (e.g. Ford Pinto case - cost benefit analysis) 4. Making decisions rather than following rules - teleological, not deontological. "A-rational, not irrational" Don't just blindly follow rules, use conscience situationally...

...Times are forever changing, the society we live in has evolved in many ways. We now live in a generation where computers and smartphones have taken a toll on the way we now communicate. Let’s look at what we now call online dating. A person can now find a potential soul mate with the click of a mouse, but can one completely forget traditional dating, something that has been around for centuries. What happened to those days of courting and going out to meet your potential suitor? We now live in a world where computer generated questionnaires will do the leg work for you. Though online dating and traditional dating ultimately have the same goal of finding “the one,” they are different in many ways. It now seems that more people are flocking to online dating, but is it really better or worse than the age old method? Entering the dating scene can be a challenging and overwhelming process. When you add on technology, you enter another realm of dating. Online dating seems to be a fast growing trend and has become a popular alternative to dating. With the internet now having daily usage, more people are willing to look to it for help. “There are billions of people online which could make the possibility of connecting with someone easier than it has been in the past. With the internet you are given a wider range of people to meet that are also looking for relationships.” (Finkel, Paul, Benjamin, Harry, & Sprecher, 2012, para. 12). Singles are now willing to attempt anything to...

...Burow Comparison Contrast Essay of Short Stories This paper is to analysis two short stories “A Good Man is hard to find” and “Love in LA”. Both of these stories have some common similarities, however, seem to be different eras in time. It seems that both were summer when the stories took place, both mention too of course be on a highway at some point in the stories. In both of the stories, there are accidents, one being much harsher than the other, one being a fender bender the other left the family bleeding with broken bones. I felt that most of the characters seemed to be very selfish with only thoughts of themselves. The setting for Love in La is Jake daydreaming about a better car than the one he owns and is why he hits the other character in the stories in the first place. The setting in “A Good Man is Hard” to find, takes place in Georgia mostly told through the grandmother's eyes. It seems she wants to go to Tennessee and her son wanted to go to Florida.

...WORK AND ITS SECRET by SWAMI VIVEKANANDA (Delivered at Los Angeles, California, January 4, 1900) One of the greatest lessons I have learnt in my life is to pay as much attention to the means of work as to its end. He was a great man from whom I learnt it, and his own life was a practical demonstration of this great principle I have been always learning great lessons from that one principle, and it appears to me that all the secret of success is there; to pay as much attention to the means as to the end. Our great defect in life is that we are so much drawn to the ideal, the goal is so much more enchanting, so much more alluring, so much bigger in our mental horizon, that we lose sight of the details altogether. But whenever failure comes, if we analyse it critically, in ninety-nine per cent of cases we shall find that it was because we did not pay attention to the means. Proper attention to the finishing, strengthening, of the means is what we need. With the means all right, the end must come. We forget that it is the cause that produces the effect; the effect cannot come by itself; and unless the causes are exact, proper, and powerful, the effect will not be produced. Once the ideal is chosen and the means determined, we may almost let go the ideal, because we are sure it will be there, when the means are perfected. When the cause is there, there is no more difficulty about the effect, the effect is bound to come. If we take care of the...

The pattern of collective character, behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental traits of a person.

I am shy to get up in front of class and do a presentation. If I am in a group and everyone is all talking majority of the time I will just sit and listen, I may say a few words but not much. 2. Hardworker- I am a supervisor at my job and one thing that I expect from my employees is that if they see me working they better be working just as hard as I am. The material things I have in my life came from me proving myself at my job. Hardly working is not an option.

...Dog's Death Poem Analysis ENG 125 I chose to reflect upon John Updike's piece titled Dog's Death. This poem conjures up the image of a beloved pet that is passing away and the loss that one might feel during this sad time. Although the general tone of this poem is very somber and melancholy, most will be able to relate to feeling this way during the loss of a beloved pet or loved one. That is what drew me into this piece. Throughout my life I have experienced the loss of many pets, seldom does a pet out live the owner. But the loss of my first cat was very tragic to me. Perhaps it was because I had to beg my parents for her for so many years or maybe because she would sit on my text books while I did my homework, but this poem brought back those feelings of love and attachment to a good pet. As our text stated, the tone of this poem was “designed to fire up feelings”. (Clugston, 2010) The formalist approach of literary criticism is the type where the critic looks at the structure, imagery, tone, and other tools. This is done to see how these things work together to give the reader the full experience of the piece. The formalist approach is the most widely used of literary criticisms. In using the formalist approach when reviewing John Updike's poem, Dog's Death, you can see that the grammar and tone the author uses makes you feel emotionally attached to the pain the pet and family are going through. “.. to bite my hand and died. I stroked her warm fur and my wife...

...Critical Analysis to Support Theme of Slavery in “Bloodchild” Within a story, there can be many different themes an author may be trying to get across. Some readers will pick up on those intended themes, while other readers may see themes that the author never intended. The story “Bloodchild” by Octavia Butler is one of these stories where readers will argue there are several themes present. However, the most controversial discussions are about wether “Bloodchild” is a love story, or a story of slavery. While Octavia Butler will say it is “a love story between two very different species” (“Afterward” 20). In Pamela Maynard’s critical analysis “Lessons from Culture” she argues that “Bloodchild” cannot be considered a love story because of the undeniable theme of domination present throughout the story (Maynard 1). After reading “Bloodchild” and “Lessons from Culture” I agree with Maynard’s statement that this story is not about love, but about the slavey and manipulation of the Terrans by the Tlics. This theme can be seen when analyzing the interactions that both Lien and Gan have with T’Gatoi. In Maynard’s essay she discusses how humans naturally feel like the dominant species and that all other species are inferior to humans (Maynard 2). She then begins to discuss a character is Butler’s story who reflects this same belief “Butler creates Gan’s brother Qui to represent his conventional culture and thought. Qui views his family’s state under non-human domination as ‘unnatural’...

...Analysis on "The Hiding Place" Trying to forgive your enemy is like trying to see in the dark, it is nearly impossible. In Corrie Ten Boom's book, The Hiding Place, forgiving her enemies was hard, but her faith in God made it possible. At the very beginning of the book, Corrie Ten Boom introduces the theme of faith by telling about her family and their strong Christian beliefs. She tells about her father, Casper. She explains that he would read the Bible and pray with Corrie and her family twice a day. Corrie's father also loved and respected the Jewish. Along with her father, the author mentions Betsie, her sister. Betsie took care of their home in Haarlem, Holland. In 1940, the Nazis invaded Holland, and World War II began. Due to the Ten Boom's strong Christian beliefs, they felt obligated to help their Jewish friends in every way possible. Their home soon became the center for a major anti-Nazi operation. In order to help her friends, Corrie had to do some sinful things like lie and bribe. Corrie sacrificed her own safety.nd part of her bedroom that became a secret room that was a hiding place for the Jews to have constant safety. The author later tells us that her entire family gets arrested by the Nazis, but the hidden Jews remained safe. Corrie and Betsie were sent to various concentration camps where the conditions were cruel. In every camp, the sisters used a hidden Bible to spread the word of God. Corrie was amazed by Betsie's faith through the ungodly...

...time tricks and flashback in his works, which made the break in the means of development of the character. Characters of his plays appear in a new light before our eyes, and the time trick allows us to see them in a new, deeper level. The extract under analysis is taken from the play “Dangerous corner”. According to its title we can guess that the play describes some dangerous situation, it implies that “dangerous corner” is a dead end, a difficult situation, which has no way out, like “to be in a tight corner”. However, to my mind there can be one more interpretation of the title: “corner” – like a turning point in one’s life – some people have courage to turn around it, to face all the difficulties and danger and cope with them, but others haven’t, they are afraid to lose their illusions, to lose the aim of the life. So we can see that the play deals with mental topic. The situation described in the play deals with the state of affairs in the family of Caplans. From the beginning of the extract we can see the development of two sub-plots: wireless play, and the situation on the foreground, which are mixed. The wireless play is called “The Sleeping Dog”. As the characters explain, the sleeping dog is the truth, which you shouldn’t disturb. But not all characters agree with this statement. Robert Caplan starts investigating the trifling facts about his brother’s suicide. A big quarrel arisen leads to Robert’s suicide. From the stylistic point of view, a play is a stylized...

...English 394 Seeing the World Differently: An Analysis of “When the Light Gets Green” Robert Penn Warren’s short story “When the Light Gets Green” is full of interesting images and themes. We led by a young boy who is looking back at an important period in his life. It is time that a child loses his innocence. The critic Paul West put it best when he said that “Most of Warren’s best stories are painful, guilt-ridden commemorations of some young person’s rites of passage.” This story is no different. We see a kid return to the farm he loves, only to be met with questions. His grandfather, Mr. Barden, is not the same as he remembered. The grandson has trouble understanding his grandfather’s sudden flaws, and by reexamining his grandfather, is not capable of loving him anymore. At the beginning of the story we follow the grandson’s memory of what his grandfather looked like. The first line says “My grandfather had a long white beard and sat under the cedar tree.” This was how he imagined his grandfather while he was at school, but when he returned he was shocked to see that the beard was actually “gray and pointed.” This opening paragraph sets the tone for the entire story. The grandson had a majestic image of his grandfather in his mind, but the passage of time sheds light on imperfections that were previously unimportant. Paul Runyon says that “’When the Light Gets Green’ is a strongly autobiographical reminiscence of his grandfather Penn.” Runyon point helps...
