...Jackson Whitlow Week #7 Since the last midterm, I have put more focus into understanding the themes of this course and grasping a better sense of time of when these events occur. After lectures I have been typing up, reading, and highlighting the notes that I have taken from class. This has helped me prepare for the second exam because I am able to answer the questions at the beginning of the lectures and put more time and attention into the themes and readings of the class. I feel that I did sufficiently well on the midterm. I was prepared with the readings and ready to relate them to the themes of the class. I felt confident about the multiple-choice questions and with the map portion of the test. I prepared for this second midterm almost the same way I prepared for the first. I wrote down the multiple choice questions onto note cards and gave thorough descriptions about the questions, I went through the designated places for the map several times and wrote out the names to make sure my spelling would be on point. I approached the primary source documents a little bit differently than I did last time, instead of just reading the documents I went through and constantly reminded myself about the class themes and highlight specific points in the texts where I could really talk about the documents relation to the class themes. My overall grasp of the course I feel is getting significantly better, even though I have had some troubles with the weekly essays; I feel that I have...

...I remember when it was my first testing. That morning I practiced for hours. Till it was time to test. I was testing for my first-degree black belt. That day I went to morning classes to reassure myself I was ready. Before you test for a black belt when you are a recommended black belt. You have to go through the critiquing of movement you do and forms you have to master and learn to pass you midterm. I passed my first midterm. A month later was black belt testing. And the nerves were back. When I get nervous I forget a lot of things. So I just thought to myself I can do it. My main instructor was gone for a fighting match. He won the title. But it didn't stop me from being motivated from getting my black belt. When you test for a black...

...Personal Responsibility and College Success Gen 200/Version 3 April 1, 2013 Abstract Personal responsibility is a value that many people have lost in their lives, especially when it comes to things of great importance like family, work, and school. The main focus of this essay is on the importance of personal responsibility in a specific setting, college, but reflecting on an even more personal level, my individual personal responsibility for college success. Applying this value to my already set standard of ethics, my studies, goals, and plan I have set up for myself is only half of the work. Personal Responsibility and College Success According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word “responsibility” can be defined as, “the quality or state of being responsible: as a: moral, legal, or mental accountability, b: reliability, trustworthiness (Merriam-Webster Incorporated, 2013).” Add “personal” in front, and the responsibility now becomes solely that of the individual. Personal responsibility is a large aspect of maturity. Acknowledging this point leads me to state that personal responsibility and college success go hand in hand, and I am personally responsible for my success or failure as a person, or in this specific situation, a student. As a student, teachers, advisors, counselors, and others of that variety provide the tools necessary, but it is my personal responsibility to use these productively and positively; I must create a plan, and be personally responsible...

...my high school and I was scared about getting lost. Luckily on the first day I was able to locate all of my classes because I had my little map out but that first week I made it late to one or two classes because I could not find how to get to a certain building that was off campus. Having a class that was actually off campus was something I did not realize could be possible but fortunately enough it is. As a commuter I could say that the college life is a lot more fun in high school because in a way you have more freedom but one could have the total freedom if they were able to dorm. Commuting almost an hour away every day is a pain in the butt, but the fact that I don’t have classes on Friday definitely makes up for it for me! They say that as life goes on you move on to bigger and better things. That is definitely true especially when it comes to school but you also move on to harder things as well. When people say that college is not easy they definitely mean it. My first semester as a freshman has not been quite too easy. Sometimes you get assigned a lot of work but then again compared to high school; you have more time to work on those assignments since you are not in school for the entire day. These are the times when I am definitely going to miss high school and I am only going to miss is more as time goes by because it does not get any easier from here. I could say that the toughest of times in college or when you have midterms and finals because it is one week of full...

Cultural Anthropology gives three distinct meanings of cultural relativism: a moral stance that requires anthropologists to suspend moral and ethical judgments when interacting with a culture different from their own, a methodological strategy that allows the anthropologist to pay specific attention to the uniqueness of a culture, and an epistemological position that cultures are unique and therefore knowledge about different cultures is almost inherently not comparable. (Sec. 1.3). In your forum contribution: a. Discuss what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each of these three kinds of relativism. b.

...federally funded daycares initiated, it would lower the stress levels and therefore help with health issues. Another example is more available money in each parent’s income. There would be more available money in the parents pockets each month to pay other bills or get groceries so that families will not have to depend on food stamps and WIC. With federally funded daycares authorized it could significantly improve the overall health of many individual. People would no longer have to stress about finances every day and could live a much happier and healthier life. Another reason federally funded daycares should be authorized is the impact it would have on children. For the young children, federally funded daycares would help get children ready for elementary school. While at daycare, they are learning new skills like how to write their names and their ABC’s. Federally funded daycares would provide social and physical...

...Midterm “Cruelty” The poem I’m speaking on is cruelty and this poem has six couplets, twelve lines, and 9 sentences. The definition of cruelty is taking pleasure in being evil. The poem speaks about what I am capable of and what I would want and like to do when I’m angry. Cruelty isn’t right but you have to be cruel sometimes to be nice, because cruelty comes in many disguises. I like this poem because I once wanted to be cruel when I was young and dumb. The eyes of the children are the first to reveal the effects of cruelty. Cruelty can be defined as the trait of lacking interest in suffering, disturbance and physical or psychological problems of others and even getting pleasure from inflicting pains or suffers. In a situation of cruelty physical harm isn’t needed always, getting pleasure from pains or suffers in the mind can be described as cruelty. Human beings are constantly hurting each other in both their intimate relationships and in their social relationships. Yes, sometimes the pain they inflict is physical, but most of the time it is emotional. Some of us may even admit to having been cruel. I am trying to make it very clear that our society has become very sick, very twisted and very evil and so I believe this trait is crazy. Believe me; I’ve really seen wicked things that some degenerate parents have done to their own children. We are always looking out to make sure that we get what we want in life too. Now I understand that most of us do not go to the same extremes...

...1. GET YOUR BASICS RIGHT It has been said time and again, but keeping your entire examination material ready a day before the examination is very important part of your success at SSC exams. Create a checklist of all the things you need to carry such as hall tickets, pens, pencils, writing pads, and other instruments, and make sure you carry them. All your basic information such as your name, seat number, etc. should be filled in neatly on your answers booklets. Make sure you get these basics right. 2. START WITH YOUR BEST “First impression is the last impression” and the same is true for your SSC answer paper also. If the examiner gets a good first impression of you, it can only work in your favour. Therefore, the first answer that you write, take extra precaution to make sure there are no careless mistakes, cancellations or any turn-offs that will create a bad impression. Also, attempting questions in order is preferable but not necessary. You can start with the answer that you know best if you are not so confident. 3. LEVERAGE THE EXAMINER’S INERTIA The examiner is only human and if he/she feels that you know your subject matter perfectly, then he/she may automatically tend to overlook some minor mistakes you make later in the paper. Thus many top ranking SSC students choose to answer the questions they are most confident about first. If the examiner is ticking your earlier questions, chances are he will keep ticking. You don’t want the examiner to keep crossing your...
