I decided to explore the topic a little more to get a better understanding of what it would take to become a successful automotive technician . I have lived through the auto mechanics field pretty much all through my life. Well actually since I have been born. The reason of this is very simple. That is because my very own dad is an auto mechanic himself. Well actually to be more exact, he owns his own auto mechanic shop. Since I was little I have always helped him at his work because I have always enjoyed working with vehicles. Since the very first day that I started working with him I already knew that the automotive field was the job for me. Since I was a baby my very own parents use to tell me that I would disappear out of their sight. And when they used to find me I used to be playing with the tools besides my dad helping him out. I have pretty much made my mind up about actually going further in this career. Not only because I actually enjoy doing that job but also...

...'The aim of feminist theology is simply to seek equality between women and men' Discuss. Feminist theology is a movement found in many religions. Feminist theology aims to reconsider the traditions, scriptures and theologies of those religions from a feminist perspective. It can be argued that feminist theology just wants equality between men and women, however, It can also be put across that seeking equality is not their only aim. Liberal feminist theology is fundamentally rooted in the Enlightenment philosophers who place a high value on reason and recognise that men and women share the same powers of reason. Key thinkers, such as Immanuel Kant, think that whilst there may be physical differences between men and women, there is no difference in terms of human reason. Liberal feminist theologians argue that although the Bible is often patriarchal and biased against women, there is nevertheless a strand which runs from Genesis to Galatians which consider men and women to be created equally in the image of God and therefore entitled to equal respect. They would argue that the Bible shows that women can perform a wide variety of roles and that certain texts are particularly important in demonstrating this. One is the story of Deborah. The scripture characterises Deborah as a prophet, judge and poet. She summons the Israelite commander Barak, addresses him forcefully with a command from the Lord and gives him specific tactical orders. A stark contrast to the strength and leadership...

...There are so many wonderful reasons why someone chooses to become part of the helping field. For me, it’s because I have a big heart and helping others bring me joy. I love helping others. I have no clue where it came from. I was born to druggies and became a mom at two years of age to my brothers and sisters. So taking care of others is all I have ever known. I tried twice to leave this field and I ended up getting injured. Helping others is what I do best and it is what I love, it’s who I am.

...Folk Beliefs: Its effect on adolescents Adsuara, Abigail Q. De La Salle University-Dasmarinas Abstract This paper shows the effects of folk beliefs to Filipino adolescents of the 21st century. The goal of the paper is to know the adolescents’ views and opinions about folk beliefs. The goal has been done by analyzing the information given by a certain number of respondents through an interview and online survey. Upon analyzing the information, the researcher concluded that most Filipino adolescents do not believe on folk beliefs but they have high respect on it because it is part of the Filipino culture. The paper highlights how folk beliefs can limit an adolescent’s view of reality to show the effects of it to human. Introduction Science and technology had already conquered this generation. Since the American liberation had conquered the Philippines many years ago, the Filipinos had started to drag themselves to a change that everyone thought will effaced the old traditions and customs. The Filipinos thought that the older generation’s ways can be absorbed by the technology that surrounds them. Tradition was being passed from one generation to the next. They practice it and unknowingly, they believe on it. Some of them are not aware that his nature was built around this tradition. Among the traditions of the Filipinos is the set of unwritten laws that their ancestors introduced thousands of years ago. Folk beliefs or superstitions are common notion or beliefs...

...creation which is the most presumptuous of all. He does not even begin to contemplate the ramifications of this action until it has already been done, and his full contemplation still does not come until his creature has already wreaked much havoc and is requesting a mate. After this, once he has lost everything, he seems to develop a somewhat more accurate and much more critical view of himself and his decisions. He presents himself as a cautionary tale of sorts, saying “Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge” (Shelley 54). Still, it does not seem that he has a fully accurate grasp of the issue. It is not the knowledge that he acquired which is the problem, it is the way he chose to use the knowledge and his lack of circumspection or...

...In the midst of all children’s fantasies is the idea of how they would survive a zombie apocalypse. If faced with the circumstance of being infected, how would they react? To be a zombie or not to be, that is the question. After weighing the options, even if they seem farfetched, I would hands down want to experience the path of metamorphosis into a zombie. There are many reasons for this conclusion, the two I will discuss are that zombies seem to have no restrictions and no reasoning capabilities. These can be viewed for their positives and negatives in any situation, however I see them as both being very appealing to me. It is very common in this day and age for movies and television shows to include the idea of a zombie or undead monster. From as early as when I was in middle school, I formulated an idea in my mind as to how being a zombie would pan out. Starting with a game called Metal Slug 3, where your character could turn into a zombie, I loved playing as a zombie more then as a human. The feeling of being fearless was very tempting and who doesn’t like projectile vomit evaporating their opponents. Movies, such as Shaun of the Dead, also portrayed being a zombie as less of an end of existence and more of a new beginning. The protagonist’s best friend Ed enjoys some nice PlayStation 2 after being infected, and as unrealistic as it seems, the idea is just so enticing. Although the zombies being discussed in this paper don’t hold these same features, the concept...

...saying “The Blessed Virgin will cure me!” For four years Marie prayed at Mary’s feet. At the beginning of September in 1774 Marie’s father passed away. On September 8, 1774, the feast of the Birth of Mary, Marie began to walk. Later in the chapel Marie’s mother discovered a hat that she had made for Marie hanging on the statue’s head. Marie had placed the hat there as a votive offering. Marie always had a strong faith. Marie grew up to be the foundress of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, and throughout her life, she devoted herself to the care and education of needy children. I chose Blessed Marie Rivier as my saint’s name for a couple of reasons. One reason was because I read her story and I was inspired by her strength and determination. Even though she was handicapped her faith taught her and she still believed that the Blessed Virgin would cure her. A second reason I chose Blessed Marie is because I have always loved the name Marie. When I was very young I would always tell people my name was “Sarah Lynn Marie”. My family wondered why I was doing it and found it funny but my aunt still calls me that to this day. Blessed Marie’s feast day is February 3. http://www.presentationofmary.com/rivierbio.html...

...“Human actions are causally determined and therefore not free” Discuss. Determinism argues that all human actions are determined as they apply to natural laws. However, to say actions are determined means that human action isn’t free and we do not have free will. Free will is the term given to the idea of human ability to do what we like whenever we like without restraint. I disagree with the claim that human action is not free and I will put forth arguments in this essay to discuss this conclusion. Firstly, libertarians would argue that we freely chose our actions as we have an overall feeling of freedom. This relates to our common experiences of choosing and deciding and when we have to make choices we are open to all other alternatives before making a decision. Surely, we only have the ability to freely choose something if we have free will to do so and if our actions were causally determined then we wouldn’t have other alternatives to decide from. Therefore this strong feeling of free will and freedom to do as we choose to would prove that human actions isn’t causally determined. However, determinists would claim that this ‘feeling’ of freedom is not sufficient evidence to say that we are free since it is possible for us to feel free even when we are not. For example, if I had a brain tumour that I didn’t know of which caused me to drink repeatedly then I am unaware that the tumour is making me do so yet I feel as if I am freely choosing to drink. It may seem as though...

...Running head: PLATO’S INFINATE Plato’s Infinite Wisdom Student Paper February 23rd, 2008 The University of Montana-Western Plato’s Infinite Wisdom Plato was, and remains a very influential and relevant Greek philosopher that lived between (427 and 347 B.C.E) (Stevenson and Haberman, 2004). Plato was extremely diverse and accomplished in his lifetime achievements. His rise to fame began as a student of the great philosopher Socrates, but progressed into many other dignified positions. He is accredited with teaching another great philosopher and scientist named Aristotle, who later taught Alexander the Great. Plato also founded the worlds’ first formal university in Athens called The Academy (Brickhouse, 2006). Plato’s philosophical research was far deeper than anything previously explored and transcends 2500 years without losing modern applicability. His vast writings began with the study of human nature, ethics, morals, knowledge, and progressed into complex theories on reality, dualism, government and the human soul. The most famous of these dialogues, The Republic, but later works like The Laws and The Statesman are equally impressive. Plato believed education, knowledge, and truth were essential for society to become moral and just. The outcome of successful societies was stability and peace. Personally, Plato believed in a spiritual gain given to those who succeed, but his theories were not based on personal beliefs like the widely disputed and...

...Introduction In July of 2001, Jessica Lynch enlisted into the United States Army with her brother Gregory Lynch. Both enlisting for different reasons, but together they would serve and fight for the freedom of the United States. In 2003, Lynch receive notice that she was being deployed to Iraq. Lynch was on a 100 mile convoy driving a heavy 5-ton buffalo water truck to Bagdad when her vehicle she was driving broke down. That was just the beginning of a day that would be embedded into Lynch’s mind for the rest of her life. Lynch was picked up but First Sergeant, Robert Dowdy, and her roommate Lori Piestewa. They were driving through the city of Nasiryah, when their vehicle was struck by a rocket propelled grenade. All together eleven American soldiers died that day. Lynch was captured and taken to a hospital in Nasiryah. Lynch awoke in the Iraqi hospital with not one American soldier by her side. Lynch had extensive injuries, consisting of a six inch gash on her head, shattered femur, broken humerus, and right foot was crushed. Lynch, wounded and full of fear, was rescued by two American Soldiers. While all this was happening, Lynch’s superiors and highly ranked soldiers, and the media had different way of telling the truth of what really happened to Lynch. The media perceived Lynch as American hero of war and only told the story of the “little girl Rambo from the hills of West Virginia who went down fighting.” The media fed off of Lynch’s horrific experience,...

...In an attempt to illustrate that the soul, much like the city Socrates describes earlier in the book, is partitioned into three parts, Socrates presents his arguments in three logical steps. He firstly establishes the assumption that the same thing cannot undergo opposite things. Then, he demonstrates that the soul must contain at least two parts, namely the appetitive and the rationally calculating. Lastly, he demonstrates that the spirited part must be different from both of those, thereby proving the tri-constituent structure of the soul. First, Socrates tackles the question of whether we do everything with the whole of our soul or distinct parts by stating a fundamental premise upon which all subsequent arguments are built. This states that the same thing cannot undergo opposite forces or be in opposite states at the same time in the same respect. More concretely, Socrates gives an example of a person not being able to be standing still and moving with respect to the same frame of reference simultaneously. Recognizing the generality of this argument, he then hypothesizes the correctness of the premise by further listing a string of opposites, including dissent versus assent and wishing versus not-wishing. Building off of the aforementioned premise, Socrates advances his argument by elucidating the distinction between a natural object by itself and an object of a particular sort. For instance, he argues that thirst, in its independent form, causes people to crave drink...

...Give reasons why Kayerts killed himself and prove them with the text. There are several reasons why Kayerts hangs himself at the end of the story. Previously, he shoots Carlier accidentally after they have been arguing about the sugar. Kayerts feels deadly sick (p.33, l.64) shortly after killing his assistant and only friend at the trading station. Afterwards, Makola appears and talks with Kayerts. Makola arrives at the conclusion that Carlier “died of fever” (p.34, l.21) and Kayerts just remains silent. Kayerts could have killed himself because he feels alone, which becomes most obvious on page 34, ll. 26-28. His only ‘friend’ he could talk to is dead. Moreover, he shot an unarmed partner and could be afraid of being arrested. (which is not in the text…) He lost his friend and partner and can’t continue life without him. Besides, he feels guilty because he accepted the selling of the slaves, which is – of course – forbidden. (p.25, ll. 55-64) This could be one reason, why Kayerts didn’t see another possibility to get rid of all his problems than hanging himself. Another significant point is his daughter Melie. He cannot come across Melie because he would disappoint her by his own failure. Furthermore, Kayerts seems to understand that colonialism is all about exploitation (p. 36, ll. 3-7; p.34, ll.37-2) Makola had said that “Carlier died of fever”, which was a lie. Kayerts does not want to lie. He cannot live with this lie because of his bad conscience. This despair...

Like you, we are thankful to be in this great country, where we can accept those of different race and religion, where we can be open to make our democratic choice, where we can be of good position to help our friends, be it the needy or our neighbouring countries.
