...Paulo Alanes Ms. Bairos February 23rd 2014 HRE4M-09 Reflection Paper: The Human Experience In our world today we are very easily labeled by our gender, skin colour, religion, and sexuality, but we often forget that we are all human. To be human is to help our fellow man when he is in need; regardless of their race/religion he is human, just like us, so we help him. In the 2008 documentary The Human Experience, Jeffery Azize speaks of learning experiences. “When you go somewhere out of your own comfort zone, out of your own realm, and you enter someone else’s, that’s learning”. (The Human Experience.) Throughout the documentary Jeff, his brother Clifford Azize, and friends Michael Campo and Matthew Sanchez witness many different cultures and societies. Their views (and ours’) on humanity change after their experiences and they leave with a larger understanding of the world and how we see it. IV. What role does suffering play in life? How can we address our deepest suffering? Throughout the documentary we are presented with many different types if suffering around the world. In each different scenario, the individual had gained something positive, a valuable lesson that made them thankful for what they had or they gained a different perspective on life. After spending a week homeless in the streets of New York, Jeff learns about the suffering that homeless people face on a day-to-day basis. The role that suffering played in one of the men he had met had given the...

...What it means to have free will Conor hughes Sept 26 2014 Hre 4u1 Ms.ples Being a human means you ae fully in control of your life path, because you have free will. The gift of free choice is very important because free choice is the reason humans are where we are today, which is a good and bad thing. Good because we have made a lot of progress over the years but bad because in making that progress we have cause a lot of destruction. In my opinion what makes someone who they are is two things, Physical appearance and personality. First what makes someones physical appearance is their genetics and second what makes someone’s personality is there surroundings and life experiences. Everyone is unique in their own way because everyone is born differently and experiences life differently. You can choose your identity because you have free will and your identity is based off your actions. My experience toward finding meaning in my life has been somewhat up and down so far and I don’t truly believe I will find my purpose until I have found my career but I could be wrong I may find my life purpose tomorrow. Some people may search for meaning in their friends or their grades or even inanimate objects like the kind of clothes they wear or the car they drive. Inaanimate objects are surprisingly a very popular way of searching for meaning, for example very few rappers talk about their morals in their songs, they talk about their amazing car or their ten thousand dollar watch....

...The Human Experience In todays society no one truly knows what it means to be a human or what it means to gain the human experience. I am here today to tell you a story about a group of young men that try to truly gain the human experience. There is no true definition of what it means to be human; to be human is to live all aspects of life. Jeffery Azize and his older brother Clifford Azize set out to travel the world to try and gain knowledge about society. It was truly amazing that every person Jeffery and Clifford had talked too had said that they believe that God has a purpose for them and they are searching for what it is.in the documentary The Human Experience by Charles Kinnane, what it means to be a human is defined by the development of relationships, the role of suffering and the importance of love. In order to find the human experience, family is a very important. The Azize boys were raised in an abusive home; their father was an alcoholic and a drug user. Without there experiences at home they would not of went on this journey to find the real human experience. In the end of the film the two boys meet their father again. Secondly, in the documentary The human experience we are presented with different types of suffering throughout the boys journey. In each scenario the type of suffering changes but even though the type of suffering is different each person suffering gained a new life lesson and a new outlook on life. In New York where the two boys spent a week...

...The human experience that this artwork relates to is love which is clearly seen in the painting the work of art depicted a man and woman embracing each other lovely with their bodies fused together showing their unity for one another as stated “Klimt’s work explores the themes of birth, life death. The woman is especially depicted by turn as emotional joy bringer, temptress and child bearer. The bodies fused together as one emphasis their unity”. (Echostains) The way this human experience is meaningful to my life is that this is the way I show my love for my wife by embracing her in a loving way which help show her how much I love her as depicted in the painting so it can prove meaningful to a lot of people’s love life. The way this work of art expresses and relates to my own and most people’s human experience because at one time or another we all at one time have been in a relationship where we will show our love for one another by embracing and caressing our mates in loving way this is how many people in love express their love of another. According to overstockArt.com a site which published a Top 10 list of most romantic oil paintings for Valentine’s Day 2011 listed Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” which topped the list among many others. This just shows that the painting still expresses and relates to the human experience of love even after 104 years of it being painted. I feel what this piece of artwork tells us about society is that the values and traditions of human love...

...The Human Experience HUM205 World Culture & the Arts May 9, 2010 Love and Death A basic understanding in life is that almost everything changes except the human observation and analysis of everything changing. Seeds will always grow into plants, trees, or food; days will always give way to nights; and whatever is born must eventually die. Death is inevitable in life and different cultures have different perceptions of what death actually means. Some cultures celebrate death as it signifies a transfer to the preferred life beyond. Some cultures memorialize those loved ones that are lost because the survivors believe the deceased were taken too soon from the living realm. Either way, art seems to be the basis of expression when sorting through the emotions associated with losing a loved one. The Human Experience of Love and Death The work of art at the center of discussion in this paper is the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal relates to the human experiences of love and death. Losing a loved one is never easy and people will find various ways of coping with such a situation. One such way of coping with the loss of a loved one is through artistic expression, as Shah Jahan did when he commissioned Taj Mahal to be built in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal (Benton & DiYanni, 2008). A Personal Connection Love and death are very meaningful in my life. I love and I have been loved for as long as I can remember. I found myself lucky enough to avoid the concept of death until...

...Human Experience of Illness Student Name Grand Canyon University: HLT 310V February 27, 2016 Human Experience of Illness One of the main goals of healthcare facilities is to provide the patients with a “healing environment”. The goal of the healing environment is to remove the patient from all the toxic and hazards to give them time to heal. Three concepts that help creating a stable environment will be explain in this paper. These concepts are the seen environment, the unseen environment, and the storied environment. Three concept of the Healing Environment The seen environment is the physical environment that pertains to all the objects that can be touched, seen, smelled, measured, etc. Painting the rooms with neutral colors help keep patients calm and relaxed. Keeping the patients room clean also helps the patient feel more in a healing environment, bad smells can be detrimental to a patient during hospital stay. If there is no adequate space inside the patient room this can create uneasiness in the patient mood. Providing the patient with food that taste good and that looks nutritious, helps the patient to feel more inside the healing environment. The unseen environment is the spiritual and psychosocial part of the healing environment. This unseen environment is the energy released by the interaction or the thoughts of people. This energy could be positive thoughts and positive actions of people to create a more healing environment and helping the patient recover faster...

...Aspect of Human Experience 1 William Blake’s poem A Poison Tree, Anton Chekhov’s Misery and the Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare all show us how individual experiences shape interpretations. Many people believe that things happened in the past should stay in the past - which they should be forgotten. But others believe that your past defines who you are today. They believe that past experiences shape your identity. Our experiences shape our views and our treatment of others. Misery demonstrates how the experience of the death of a loved one, in this case, a son, can change the way you view the world entirely. Iona was suffering from the loss of his son, and when he tried to get people to feel or share in what he was going through, his feelings of despair were heightened by the fact that no one seemed to care. In A Poison Tree, the narrator shows us two sides of a similar situation. There’s the good and bad. Your emotions can cause you to react in ways that you would not normally react. When someone you know does wrong to you or someone you know, being able to forgive them may be easier to forgive than to forgive a person that you do not know so well. In this poem, the narrator is angry with his friend and is able to speak to his conscience and resolve the issue. But when he gets angry with his foe, he is unable to forgive and forget so easily. His emotions get the best of him, and his anger leads to tragedy. The Tragedy of...

...Phillip K. Dick portrays the character Garson Poole as a success in his journey to complete his quest. Garson Poole becomes more than human as he is able to feel every possible combination of sensations all at once and that is something beyond human. After his tape ran out Garson Poole felt an intense rush of emotion and feeling simultaneously, a literal, real, physical synesthesia; Garson Poole felt human for the first time. The details he sees, hears, tastes, smells, and touches are significant because they are what finally cause Poole to feel human. The tape filtered Garson's senses: he had one type of touch, one type of hearing, one type of sight, etc; when the tape ran out, the filter was removed, and Garson was able to experience the contrast of an unfiltered world. His statement, "I am living, I have lived, I will never live," can be interpreted as an allusion to "veni, vidi, vici" through the use of asyndeton. The Narrator describes what is happening to Poole's actual mechanical body as if it had no person relying on it, as something that is simply replaceable. After Poole discovered that he was indeed not a human, his quest was to get rid of his reality tape in order to have the "opportunity to experience everything. Simultaneously. To know the universe and its entirety, to be momentarily in contact with all reality. Something that no human can do" (Dick 236). Once Poole did cut the tape, although he had up to 40 minutes to put it back together, he choose to delay long...

...analogous. But do we have to understand the language in which it was performed to appreciate it? Look at opera! Regarding its dialect, and say maybe lack of interpretation by some, it expresses emotion that many endear, and transcends such barriers as language. I believe music situates itself as one of the most fundamental bridges between people and their emotions. 2. The book discusses ethnocentrism; why do you think people all over the world tend to shy away from things that are not part of their "normal" experience? In your opinion, what are the reasons for the ethnocentric phenomenon? (10 points) Our book describes ethnocentrism as “the assumption that one’s own culture patterns and understandings are normative and that those that differ are strange, exotic, or abnormal.” (pg. 4) There are many, many examples of such differences in meanings that make life experience so unique for all the human groups around the world. The assumptions we make about others' experience can involve false negative judgments, reflected in the common definition of...

In this report I will explain the specifics detailed in the task specification above relating to John Lewis Partnership subsidy, Waitrose a primary retail grocery store which has quite recently begun to expand into the Digital medium. Human Resources Management of Human Resources is a key statutory for a business to succeed in the often volatile industry of their operations, the same truth is more apparent to Waitrose due to their encompassing scale and obligatory coordination. One of which is to properly respond to consumer demand, specifically; ensuring the hired personal have the specifications and instruction to exercise accurate knowledge regarding a particular or fields of product /service which may interest the consumer. Example in regards to Waitrose could be directional (layout of store), or on occasion recommendatory (gluten free, lactose intolerance). In addition, qualified I.T professionals for online assistance also have to be as noted, qualified. It would be a futile contradiction of successful business practise to worsen the experience of a customer, even if it’s simply a convenience of time. Qualified staff ensures that not only does the consumer have an easier time of navigating their specific issues, but also a more pleasant experience with managerial coordination; being aware that personal are properly qualified in their...

...Importance of diversity DeVry University Professor Jung Taking a look around your school or place of employment it’s easy to see that there is a wide range of diversity present. What aren’t visible are the many opportunities that you are presented with to broaden your experiences and knowledge. Having a diverse group of students or coworkers isn’t only beneficial to an individual but to a company as well. I am going to explain how the differences of your employees, coworkers and fellow students can be beneficial to your success as a business owner and student and how these people and their experiences can enrich your life. As a business owner having employees of different cultures, ethnicities and gender can be beneficial to your company’s success. As many patrons visit your business they will not only notice how they are treated but how your employees are treated. Many patrons’ appreciate the fair treatment of a business’s employees and will be more likely to return “Bell, 2007”. I know that two of the businesses I frequent close on holidays to allow their employees to be with their families, and another is always displaying great manners and appreciation for my business that I really enjoy going to these stores and even though they may not be the cheapest I will sacrifice a few dollars for the treatment. A second benefit to having a diverse workplace, it allows the company to appeal to a broader customer base. Having employees who have experienced different traditions...

...education and experience of your group before you prepare your talk. One way to do this is ask your host or simply ask the audience some questions before you start. Will you be talking to a group of five, 50, or 500? This may not impact what you say, but it may impact how you say it and what you bring with you. A hands-on demonstration planned for a group of five will not work so well with a group of 50. So knowing the audience is critical. Subject interest and knowledge of the audience is also a key thing. Just because people are attending the talk does not mean they know anything about the subject, or that they have the same level of understanding of the subject you do. Speakers are typically experts on their subject but do not mistakenly assume that the audience has the same level of knowledge, education, and background information. This is not true at all times. Do the people in your audience have a high school diploma, two-year technical school degree, Bachelor's or Master's degree, or a Ph.D.? You need to talk differently to each group. You may need to dress differently for each group as well. Another important thing that you know about your audience is their experience and expectations. There is a difference between knowledge and experience. Someone might be very knowledgeable about something (through reading), but may never have actually experienced the topic first hand. You may or may not be talking about something with which the audience has actual experience. If they...
