...Going into the Hunger Banquet I was not sure what to expect. I had heard that we would be in a certain group and we would be given food for that particular group we were in. I figured we would hear about poverty and how many people go hungry do to this, however, I wasn't sure. As a result of the Hunger Banquet I learned about hunger, poverty, and global awareness all over the world. I got to learn about these issues first hand by taking the place of someone in another country for about an hour. When I first arrived at the Banquet I had to choose from a bowl randomly, what my social standing would be. I ended up in the low income group who all sat on the floor. After talking with people, I learned everyone was from somewhere different in the world. Thus this being about poverty and hunger not just in America, but all over the world. When everyone arrived there were three groups, there was the low, middle, and high income classes. The majority of people were on the floor in the low income group. Seeing this made me truly understand the magnitude of the problem of hunger and poverty across the globe and that these people need our help....

...leaving behind the Langham family and long-lasting memories. These six months have been an incredible journey for me, especially working in the F&B department as I have also got the chance to work in the other areas apart from banquets, with many things to learn from each establishment. This paper will elaborate about my experience on placement, my skills and knowledge development and the way it has changed my thought process with the important values gained from this experience. The banquet is the most challenging departments in the F&B sector, which takes years of knowledge and experience as everyday there is something new to learn. When I first started working, I initially struggled with myself and thus, received a lot of scolding from my manager and supervisors, but with each passing day I became familiar with the operations and substantially improved on my work performance. The staff has always been very supportive, and whenever in doubt, I have always got my problems clarified from my supervisors, not only boosting my self-confidence but also enthusiastically participating more in the workplace. Thus, I have a close relationship with my team and able to perform myself under pressure without much difficulty. It is also essential that banquet attendants exhibit good communication skills, minimizing errors and display professional ethics all times to maintain the standards of the hotel. I have personally witnessed where miscommunication can delay service, giving rise...

...Los diálogos platónicos son adaptaciones escritas de los diálogos que tantas veces escuchó a su maestro Sócrates, quizás por ello aparece siempre como el protagonista principal, especialmente en sus primeros años. Sin embargo, su pensamiento fue evolucionando a través de tres épocas hasta llegar a ser plenamente creativo. Donde se establece la ciencia racional de las cosas, ya que en Grecia la filosofía es también entendida como una averiguación de lo que cada cosa es, en el cual el papel más importante lo tiene la inteligencia ya que investiga y diferencia lo que las cosas son. Por tanto la inteligencia se convierte en logos, el cual es la facultad de analizar, esta facultad es lo que se hace continuamente en los diálogos ya que esta facultad solo la tiene el hombre, la razón, también esta filosofía que establece Platón el Banquete es la filosofía como Retórica y cultura, ya que no sólo los conversadores en este banquete intentan conversar si no que lo quieren dar a conocer a los demás, por tanto esta aparece como una forma para saber convivir el la ciudad (polis) donde las puertas de las casas estaban abiertas para todo el mundo, y no había distinciones de sexo,... como lo establece un orador en el banqueteEl primero en participar fue FEDRO: El cual dice que el amor es la divinidad más antigua, donde no es fácil explicar su origen sin estudios.

...Service:This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit. Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my own experiences and my years in the National Honor Society I have observed and come to support my beliefs of how important Service is. What I have learned about my community is, to give back to those who give or simply just to do something nice for someone else without being told/paid to do. Community service to me is what I would do to help my peers and community enjoy themselves at the cost of making them as well as my self, feel good that someone went out of their way to make their experience(s) fun and enjoyable. I am pleased to say everyone in this room carries the willingness to make a better community. I have gotten to know a better me in how I act towards different people and what I say to them. To me I think this shows an incredible charisma in how a person can change and make a difference so quickly The value and importance of community service in our society shows greatness within the National Honor Society. Without community service in our society many people would not know the meaning, usefulness, or importance of charity. Serving in your community takes away from the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a...

...It is generally agreed today that national service is compulsory for each SPM leaver. National service was first started around the year of 2004. The SPM leavers are randomly selected to enter the national service. As directed by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia,it is compulsory for each selected youth to participate in this programme. Actions will be taken if they do not participate in it. I personally agreed that compulsory national service is good for the youth. One must admit that national service can bring so much benefits for them. Let us start by considering the facts. The youth can fill up their time by participating in the national service. They can benefit their free time after their SPM exam with lots of activities arranged in the programme. Rather that loitering around, doing window shoppings, watching television, the youths can participate in many fun activities during the national service. They will not waste their time doing some useless activities. During the activities in national service, they will gain lots of knowledge, improve their health, gain new friends, and many more. Time is gold. So,the youths should always rember that time is so precious for them to fill it with useful activities. Furthemore,we should not forget that by participating in national service, the youths will receive a lot of experiences. During the programme, they will be taught by many experienced teachers. Maybe, some youths from urban-background have no camping experience...
