...Who I am today is not who I was a couple years ago. My perspective of reality made a dramatic turn at the end of my eighth grade year. I was the shy, quiet, awkward girl who wanted to be of all things ... a cheerleader. Tryouts first started May, I missed the first day of practice so I had only one day to learn the dance and then tryout out in front of the coach and other girls I did not know. I felt lonely and afraid but determined to get my spot on the team. After I went to practice, quickly learned the dance and sidelines, and got compliments on being a fast learner, I knew I began to grow more and more confident in myself more than I have ever been. After school I ran quickly to Stockdale High School and changed into my preppy cheer...

...I have been blessed in my life. I have learned each day and have grown slowly but surely. Life is full of ups and downs but through God and with the help of friends and family I have worked through it all. This is an example of how sociology has applied to my life in many situations and times of need. Many social forces have had an impact on my life. Businessdictionary.com says a social force is, “An element of society which has the capability of causing cultural change or influences” (businessdictionary.com). I think one of the biggest social forces in my life has been technology. Technology plays a huge role in the lives of people all over the world. It has changed the way people act and how the world works. World news travels faster than...

...The problem with education is that we don’t learn anything. I am not speaking from the point of view of some adolescent who just dislikes school and will badmouth it as much as possible, nor am I just trying to create some sort of outlandish hyperbole to get the attention of others. The fact is, through my observations, we have been shuffled through the school system. We are measured in intervals, similar to a visit to the doctor measures our weight and height. But with a doctor, the height is a qualitative measurement. An inch is an inch, no questions asked. The problem is, the school system has taken upon itself to measure us the same way. Inch for inch. A for A. So they have to measure us in the qualitative respect too. They don’t care amount how much we learn. They care about how many facts we can spit out, and how fast we can do it. Impressive. The inner psychology of the school system is pretty simplistic to understand. Random facts are the easiest way to measure students. You get it right, or you don't. Yes or no. A by A. You can mark the intelligence of a student by their GPA. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t really matter what your grade is. That doesn’t show anything about intelligence. But you really didn’t need anyone to tell you that. I hope not, anyway. The irony is, knowing the year Napoleon didn’t conquer Cuba will not help us in life. Bottom line: No one wants to hire someone who knows a bunch of facts they are already aware of. It makes sense...

...Leonid Fridman wrote an essay titled, “America Needs Its Nerds”, in which he described the derogatory terms and meanings that accompany words such as “nerd” and “geek”. I disagree with Fridman’s view on this topic. Though the terms “nerd” and “geek” may have negative connotations, they are not always meant in a negative manner. Also, Fridman states that nerds and geeks “are ostracized but athletes are idolized” (Fridman 1). I do not always think that statement is true either. For example, in the Greencastle School District, there are many students who value schoolwork, and are not “ostracized” for their dedication to school. There are also students who are dedicated to both sports and academics, which is very respectable. I believe that the...

...Understanding Racism and Discrimination Being a white female I could never fully understand racism and the feelings that come from discrimination based on my looks or the color of my skin. Through literary works like Alice Walker’s “The Welcome Table” I get a glimpse into what it might be like. It is also through this type of writing that I am reminded of issues from the past that still exist in the present. Through the reader response analysis approach I will discuss how “The Welcome Table” has inspired me to evaluate how I treat others and if my actions are conducive to a progressive society. In regards to the reader response approach Clugston (2010, section 16.2) states “you must account for your feelings by finding specific aspects of the literary work that make you feel as you do.” (P. 413). What grabbed my attention to this story was the imagery “She was angular and lean and the color of poor gray Georgia earth, beaten by king cotton and the extreme weather.” (as cited in Clugston, 2010, Section 3.1) that made me wonder about the old woman’s story. The metaphor Alice Walker uses to describe the old woman’s face “on her face centuries were folded into the circles around one eye, while around the other, etched and mapped as if for print, ages more threatened again to live.” (as cited in Clugston, 2010, Section 3.1) leads me to believe she has lived a difficult life. Her age and appearance don’t come from her hard work alone but from something much...

This instrument, recently updated, is free either as an online or printable version (www.vark-learn.com). Other than this, VARK also provides students with an indication of their preferences for learning and as such it will indicate stronger and weaker preferences. Specifically, take the four preferences emphasized in the VARK questionnaire...

...HCAD 610 Dr. Karen Marshall November 11, 2013 Abstract This article deals with the foundations of analysis and synthesis as scientific methods, and especially with the requirements for the successful application of these methods. Although analysis and synthesis always go hand in hand – they complement one another – there are important situations in which one method can be regarded as more suitable than the other. This concerns the question of which method is most appropriate as the primary point of departure for the study of a given system or object of scientific inquiry. As you all know, it has become a public truth that the health standards are decreasing daily. I am sure each and every one of you has his own reason for this sudden situation. In other words, every one of us sitting here today has got his or her views in regard to this annoying situation. However, my learned friends we all know we cannot save this dying situation by pointing fingers at each other. This means that we must all put our heads together and try to point out the causes of the situations and the possible resolutions. However, since all of us cannot speak at the same time, I request you to kindly give me this time to share with you what is in my mind according to the research that I have done concerning the reset change of things. After taking keen attention at the current situation, I have realized that the main reason among many others is lack of commitment among medical specialist. All...

I feel that personality is defined as the specific character that any individual processes and according to Dictionary .com (2012); Personality is the visible aspect of ones character as it impress others. As we, all should know by experience that everyone has their unique personality, which defines them as who they are indefinite.

...the systems of which they operate. This is what we call a social science. According to Britannica Encyclopedia Political science is a social science discipline that deals with systems of government and the analysis of political activity and political behavior. It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics which is commonly thought of as the determining of the distribution of power and resources. When I started the political science class my views on politics were negative. Negative in the sense that I wanted little to do with politics. My view of politics was a form of corruption were citizens were robbed. My recent studies of the political science have changed my views, interest, and expectations of politics. Growing up in the Virgin Islands my generation has heard and seen very little positive talks about politics. My definition of politics before my political science class was fairly simple. I thought politics were a group or an entity of elected officials that controlled government money. I learned that I was not one 100% right but there was way more to that one simple word. The very first thing that political science made me understand is the importance to be up to date with all or most political activities that are happening across the world. Quickly I saw how a political issue in Iran could easily involve another country. From ancient times politics have been in existence and it has benefited the world in many aspects. According to Britannica, forms of...

...exceed love and kindness to his family in the event that he, Jonathan dies and David becomes King. 2 Sam 4 and 5 gave an analysis of how David defeated Saul, the death of Jonathan and Saul’s other household members, to become King of Israel. 2 Sam 4:4 recorded the fact that Jonathan had a son Mephibosheth who was crippled on both feet. He was dropped by his Nanny while trying to escape with him in the heat of the war. He was only 5years old. 2 Sam 8:15 emphasized that David ruled over all Israel executing judgment and justice. 2 Sam 9: 1-13. Main Observations: VS 1 – is there anyone in the house of Saul that I might show God’s kindness for Jonathan’s sake. (Note not for Saul‘s sake, Saul tried to kill me, but Jonathan was a covenant brother.) I can hear the echoes of Mercy and whispers of love, the kind of love God showed to you and me that He gave His only son for us John 3:16. And while we are yet sinners, the scriptures says, Jesus Christ died for us. We are all sitting here today as beneficiaries of God benevolence and I can still hear the spirit of God, the echoes of mercy saying “is there anyone among you that needs Gods kindness and mercy. Not anyone who is Rich, deserving, highly placed or educated with many PhD, but anyone who needs mercy of God. I had that call years a ago and instead of anyone I put my name. God gave an open cheque and I wrote my name on it. Paul wrote in 1Cor 1:26-27 – Read God is not calling us to be strong in our self. Initially God...

...as faces life decisions, how to cope in society, including the way we learn and interact are unique features of our personality. The personality of each is unique, there cannot be two people have the same personality and are completely alike. This is because you cannot be two people who have had the same kind of parenting or who have gone through similar circumstances under the same conditions in which they have taken the same solutions. Each person has a unique way of solving their problems or address them as the case. Our thoughts are another feature of our personality, and we can share ideas with other people, but we cannot make them think like us that each faces differently every situation in life. The way you dress, think, behave, our skills, beliefs, values, our character, motives, memories, experiences and the way in which we face in life are unique features of our personality. Personality is mental, physical, social and emotional characteristics of individuals * 2. What are some key personality features that define you?
