...As we can see, art and religion is present in the relic, “The Golden Tara”. The religious culture is manifested by a sculpture, or an idol, showing the artistic capacity of the civilization many years ago. This practice is still present in our time today, similar to the paintings and sculptures of many diverse religions. The discovery of these ancient tools is a proof of technology being used and developed long ago. We already had these basic tools long before we were discovered by different races. These also depict our ancestor’s simple standard of living. Having these tools proves that our ancestors were already looking for advancement in the way they live, and as they develop with time, even more technology is urbanized and more knowledge is unveiled. The practice of Trade has been long present since before the coming of the Spaniards. Evidence of this practice are the Chinese ceramics that were uncovered from some places in Cebu. Trade has always been a major player in the economy, and trading doesn’t only mean exchange of goods, but also exchange of knowledge. Warfare has always played a role in many societies. Most of them are caused by conflicting tribal affairs, protection of power, and ownership of land. In some places of Cebu, some traces of war artifacts are found, proving that warfare was present in the bygone times. Some tools and weapons were excavated and it can also be seen that warfare was of great importance during their...

...Ethics - Linda Pastan In ethics class so many years ago our teacher asked this question every fall: if there were a fire in a museum which would you save, a Rembrandt painting or an old woman who hadn't many years left anyhow? Restless on hard chairs caring little for pictures or old age we'd opt one year for life, the next for art and always half-heartedly. Sometimes the woman borrowed my grandmother's face leaving her usual kitchen to wander some drafty, half imagined museum. One year, feeling clever, I replied why not let the woman decide herself? Linda, the teacher would report, eschews the burdens of responsibility. This fall in a real museum I stand before a real Rembrandt, old woman, or nearly so, myself. The colors within this frame are darker than autumn, darker even than winter--the browns of earth, though earth's most radiant elements burn through the canvas. I know now that woman and painting and season are almost one and all beyond saving by children. A New Poet Finding a new poet is like finding a new wildflower out in the woods. You don't see its name in the flower books, and nobody you tell believes in its odd color or the way its leaves grow in splayed rows down the whole length of the page. In fact the very page smells of spilled red wine and the mustiness of the sea on a foggy day - the odor of truth and of lying.

...Jarek Moreschini Black Friday Is black Friday worth it? Is waiting in long lines impatiently in the cold worth the deals that you receive? Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving that starts early in the morning and lasts all day long. This day makes shoppers go crazy and is believed to save you tons of money. Is it really worth it though? Some people say that its not and that they should just wait till Cyber Monday because there are deals just as good on that day. Also if you wait till cyber Monday you wont have to wait outside in lines all night. You can do it from the comfort of your house in pajamas on the couch. In my opinion I think that cyber Monday is a waste of time. I have participated in it before and I feel that it is almost a trick to the customers. I think that they make the customers think they are getting a really good deal and in reality its not that good of a deal after all. I also agree with the article where it says that the customers can just wait a couple of weeks for the item to go back on sale. Some people would rather just spend the time sleeping and couldn’t comprehend waking up that early to go shopping. One more thing that I think you should think about is the worker. They have to be there even before you and have to prepare in days of advance for this day. They also have to work all day long when they could be at home celebrating the holidays with their families. I don’t think I have ever met a worker that wanted to work on Black Friday. Ultimately...

...need to grow their companies into bigger businesses that can employ more people—the best antipoverty program of all. —Thomas L. Friedman, from his book, The World is Flat (version 3.0) It was July 2007, and Linda Rottenberg, cofounder and CEO of Endeavor—a nonprofit dedicated to transforming the economies of emerging markets by identifying and supporting high-impact entrepreneurs—was preparing for a quarterly meeting with the global board of directors. She leafed through a copy of the 2007 Impact Report, checking over the newly published figures one more time. In its 10-year history, Endeavor had selected 272 promising entrepreneurs in eight countries, after screening 15,500 candidates, and then helped them develop and grow their businesses through ongoing mentorship and guidance. Rottenberg was proud of the organization’s accomplishments, but she also knew there was no time for complacency. With aggressive goals for international expansion, the board would definitely want to hear an update on Rottenberg’s growth strategy. The directors had also asked to discuss the recent surge in corporate partnership opportunities and long-term plans for funding Endeavor’s main operations in New York. GENESIS OF THE IDEA The idea for Endeavor came to its founders, Linda Rottenberg and Peter Kellner, by way of their experience with Ashoka. Bill Drayton founded Ashoka in 1980 to help support nonprofits around the world. He saw the power of these organizations and believed the...

...Self Survivor “If I die now, I will never see my family again” (11). This was one of the things that would run through Salva’s head on his journey. He would turn a bad situation into his motivation to keep going. To explain, in Linda Sue Park’s novel, A Long Walk to Water, she portrays two different stories. One is Salva Dut, about how war came to his village and he was separated from his family. His expedition was long and hard, and all he wanted was to be safe. The other story is about a young girl named Nya. Park writes about her long walks, twice a day, to get water for her family. Salva Dut and Nya enduring enough pain to last more than one lifetime. The danger of Mother Nature, adapting to new places, and the fear of losing the ones...

...Linda Sue Park wrote a very interesting novel about the life of a boy named Salva called A Long Walk To Water. He was from a village in Sudan, but was chased out from war and lost his family in his journeys. Therefore, Salva had to go through shootings, tiredness, hunger, pain, crocodiles, and monstrous tides in his journey to find his family. Like Salva, individuals survived challenging environments in A Long Walk to Water with perseverance, hope, and luck. Salva had perseverance during his walk to a refugee camp and that helped him keep going even when he was at the bridge of death. He was starving, had not eaten or drank for a long time, but he kept on going, with every ounce of of his will Salva pushed himself. “He stumbled...

...What if you had to take half of the day to walk and get water? Or if there were people trying to kick your out of you hometown? Well, in A Long Walk to Water, two people with different stories weren’t asking, but were living those questions just asked. First, you will read about the obstacle that a boy named Salva faced and overcame. Then, you will read about the obstacle Nya faced. Finally, you will read about the obstacles that Salva had to face in his project. Nya and Salva overcame many obstacles in A Long Walk to Water. One obstacle that Salva overcame was the loss of Marial. A Long Walk to Water is a novel written by Linda Sue Park. It is about an eleven year old boy from a Dinka tribe in South Sudan and another part is about an eleven year old girl from the Nuer tribe in Sudan. According to the novel, “A cold fist seemed to grip Salva’s heart.” (Park page 38). Salva made a friend named Marial. One night Marial disappeared and Salva was downcast. The novel also states, “He clung to Uncle like a baby or little boy[...] Marial was gone-vanished into the night” (Park page 40). Salva was so upset that he shut...

...before themselves. An example from the text that reflects on the quote says, “A South African security company manager, who goes only by the name of Theba, has been trucking water, donated by South African companies. His operation delivered more than 26,000 gallons of water to Senekal on Thursday.” (2 Newsela) Another example from this article is “We couldn’t not do it. We could not sit back and watch people die and kill people out of thirst.” The security company manager said. These examples really show that people do care and put other people in front of themselves. In conclusion, I disagree with the following quote, “one must care for oneself before they help others.” I disagreed with the quote after reading A Long Walk To Water, by Linda Sue Park, because I realized when you do something really meaningful and deedy, it impacts your life, like Salva and the government did. Even just picking up someones books, or holding the door for someone is a polite thing to do. Throughout the book, my perspective on this quote slowly changed. It changed because each good thing someone did, like the women giving water to the dying people, and Salva creating an amazing organization, it made me feel happier. ...

...A Long Walk To Water 1.) Based on the first chapter and the title of the novel, I think Nya was going to the water hole to collect water for her family. 2.) I think the other people left Salva behind because he was a child. The others thought Salva would complain about hunger and the heat. They felt that Salva would hold the group back. 3.) Salva was relieved that the woman was a member of the same tribe as he was. However, he was still unsure if she would be friendly toward him as he approached. I think the woman could be unfriendly toward a child of her own tribe because, Salva was still a stranger to her. The woman didn't know Salva’s past or if he would lure danger toward her. In a result to this the woman could be unwelcoming and inhospitable to an individual. 4.) Nya does not want to take her younger sister Akeer with her to the pond because she is only 5 years old she will walk slow,complain, and the walking distance is to grueling fir a 5 year old. This relates to Salva because that is how the groups of people looked at him, as being the weak link, the one that will slow them down. The one who is to young for work so he can’t benefit the group in anyway. 5.) I think Salva’s journey will be different now that he met Marial because Salva wont feel as alone he will have someone to relate with, laugh with,and someone to keep him distracted from the question he wonders about the most “where is his family.” 6.) When Salva’s uncle wakes him, Salva hears someone crying...

...and implemented a successful business and clinical strategies that allow them to balance their finances and patient care” (Larson, 2002). Pastor John A. Burden, a Seventh-day Adventist, founded Loma Linda University Medical Center on May 29, 1905 (“A Brief History Loma Linda University Health,” 2014). For more than one hundred years, Loma Linda University has dedicated itself to the teaching and ministry of Jesus Christ through service, research, healthcare, learning, and spiritual life. It was Pastor Burden’s wish to not only start a medical center, but train young Seventh-day Adventists to eventually become missionaries (“A Brief History Loma Linda University Health,” 2014). Today Loma Linda University School of Medicine is dedicated to training students by emphasizing the patient’s needs, and capitalizing on preventative care in efforts to slow down future disease. Their philosophy is to provide a Christian-like atmosphere, while providing students with a learning environment that offers excellent teachers and training facilities.

...A Long Walk to Victory How would you feel living without seeing your family for most of your life? In the book “A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park, about a boy named Salva Dut losing his family when he was younger. Salva Dutch survived even with the obstacles he crossed during his time away from his family. Salva lost his best friend, saw menacing animals, ravenous without food or water, and seen war for most of his life. With Africa being a threat to walk through, Salva made changes on how he lived quickly. One of the changes Salva had to adapt to was the dangerous animals in Africa. One morning Salva had been awoken by Uncle that his friend Marial had been killed by a lion in Lion Country. “A lion had been hungry enough to approach the group as they slept. Afew men had been keeping watch, but in the dark of a night…” (41). They had seen lions everyday they walked in Lion Country. People couldn’t keep up with watching over people because their bodies had been exhausted from not enough food and water in their system. “Everyone was always hungry, and there was never enough food” (85). The lack of food made Salva decide to walk back to the refugee camp, but things were not that much better. “They are going to close the camp. Everyone will have to leave. Not just this camp, all of them” (73)....
