...inspiring love story - The Rose Within A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed(menyedari) thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected(mengabaikan) to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died. So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid(di tgh2) the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects(kecacatan). We despair(berputus asa), thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually(akhirnya) it dies. We never realize(sedar) our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess(memilih) is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility(bangsawan,keagungan) in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome(mengatasi) their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom(berbunga) many times...

...fact that the Boogeyman lives in a closet, merely underlines that the Boogeyman is a tale for children. Only children have the innocent imagination to believe them, because they are not yet members in 'the reasonable tribe' of humanity. The difference in this Boogeyman story however, is that this one is actually happening. Lester Billings' children are being killed! While these murders are not violent crimes, the death of a child is always horrible (and might lead to justifying hallucinations). It is your basic innocence versus the world. Some human beings have, in this world, deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts. Preying on others to feed their own animalistic needs (like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho). The Boogeyman is not traditionally a human, though he is born from human imagination and desire for thrills... But, one might argue, that anything created by humans is human, and therefore the Boogeyman must be human, just like nuclear war, marriage, guns and fancy clothing. During a person's lifespan, he or she loses more and more of their childish imagination whilst advancing in scientific beliefs. Science contra imagination means a lot to this story: To sum up...

...The social history of England evidences many social changes over the centuries. These major social changes have affected England both internally and in its relationship with other nations. The themes of social history include demographic history, labour history and the working class, women's history, family history, the history of education in England, urban history and rural and agricultural history. The topic generally excludes politics, diplomacy and intellectual and constitution. Prehistoric society The distant past does not offer us much information on the structures of society, however, major changes in human behaviour make it likely that society must have changed dramatically. In common with much of Europe, the switch from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle to farming around 4000 BC must have heralded an enormous shift in all aspects of human life. Nobody knows what changes may have occurred, and recent evidence of permanent buildings and habitation from 3,000 years ago means that these may still have been gradual shifts. One of the most obvious symbols of change in prehistoric society is Stonehenge. The building of such stone circles, burial mounds and monuments throughout the British Isles seems to have required a division of labour. Builders would have needed to dedicate themselves to the task of monument construction to acquire the required skills. Not having time to hunt and farm would make them rely on others to such an extent that specialised farmers would emerge...

...Unit 9 Final Project HU – 245 - 10 Professor Ronald Wade Erin Broker 8/30/2009 Kaplan University Unit 9 Final Project Introduction Ethics is the area of study that deals with morality and how we make decisions about how we behave as individuals and how our actions reflect our values and conduct towards one another. This class focused on two viewpoints that helped us define morality and how to apply it in new ways of thinking and reasoning when dealing with issues in our lives: consequential reasoning and non-consequential reasoning. Through an evaluation of my collected works, I will attempt to show an improvement in the areas of analytical skill building, knowledge acquisition, and practical application that are the key objectives of this class. The objective of these three skill areas was to help us better understand how to think ethically and to understand why others think the way they do and how to come to a better understanding of a difference of opinions on various subjects. Analytical Skills Analytical skill building helps to improve your critical reading, writing and thinking skills. In unit 2 Case Study B, I evaluated a situation where an employee was upset with his employer’s treatment of its employees. In analyzing the situation, I was able to come to an understanding of how best the company should respect Mr. Lopez’s rights and moral dignity as an employee by using consequential reasoning: A company should take whatever steps necessary to...

...The True Nature of Lear’s Madness Out of all of Shakespeare’s works, King Lear is by far his greatest tragedy. Tragedy, not in the sorts of horrific blood shed, but in terms of the hostile nature of humankind, that was thoroughly explored within the play. The brilliance of the play does not only lie in its brilliant storyline, it ultimately lies in the numerous universal, yet controversial themes. Themes of familial obligation, metaphorical blindness, political disarray, cruelty, betrayal, insanity and madness, these are only a few of the many conveyed. The critical summation of King Lear is as such: King Lear, ruler of Britain, decides to abdicate his throne and leave Britain in the charge of his three daughters. However, due to his weakness to flattery he bestows the entire kingdom to his daughters, Goneril and Regan. Unlike her malevolent sisters, Cordelia is banished by Lear. Ultimately, as a result of the committed acts, Lear sets not only himself, but also his entire country into civil strife. The natural order originally established by Lear falls apart and disorder engulfs the realm. Lear’s, ‘fall from grace’ in addition to the abuse he attains from his offspring causes him to go temporarily insane. However, insanity leads Lear to self-realization, completely stripped from his royal pretensions. Such a realization causes Lear to overlook his values and finally learn of humility. One is able to state that before the climax took place Lear, in fact was ‘mad’, this...

...While many opinions seem harmless, others can be cruel, unjust, or harmful to reputations. Some opinions can build up such a wall that all hope for the light of another viewpoint seems lost. Culture and Lifestyle •Christian Science •Christianity •Religion •.My dictionary says that the primary sense of the word “opinion” involves “fixing in the mind.” It goes on to say that it is “the judgment which the mind forms of any proposition, statement, theory or event.” When we are going to vote for people or proposals in government, civic events, or even church, or we need to make a decision in our own lives, how can we make sure that we are resting our judgments on a certain and solid basis – on something more permanent than human opinion? One simple way is to begin with prayer to God, who is the Mind of each of us. We can always sincerely ask God how to think about any issue that crosses our path. This prayer may lead us to actively turn away from what circumstances are telling us about a person or situation, and to drop some fixed ideas we have habitually clung to. Today as yesterday, God, our true Parent, tells us of the constant and all-powerful good that belongs to each of us and is our only real experience as His children. Prayer can help us feel the power of this message, even in the midst of conflicting opinions. When we want to make the best decision – to follow our highest sense of what is right – we can prayerfully acknowledge each person’s oneness with Mind as the perfect...

...January 15th 2012 Com/220 Argumentation assignment The speech I chose to read instead of hear was “The morality of birth control” by Margaret Sanger (1921). I chose this speech because I have worked in the healthcare field for over 10 years now, this subject truly catches my attention. Its also the reason why for my final project I have chosen to speak about abortion and pro choice debates. After reading the article I picked up on bias’ right of the bat. The fact that women have been viewed as immoral for wanting to control the size of their families or to act as responsible adults. Margaret talks about how many different groups were invited to the conference that was held and everyone acted with dignity except one group. This group was the religious “church” going individuals. This group views birth control as a “sin” so to speak and think it’s against gods will. I can vouch for this personally. I recently took a new job almost three months ago with a very well known catholic organization. We have amazing benefits except they will not cover ANY form of contraception or fertility treatment. This means I have to pay out of pocket for my prescriptions of birth control. A choice I have chosen as a single/divorced mother of three. I don’t want to have any more children, but in their eyes I am being immoral. To me some of the fallacies or misconceptions with this issue that they are basically stating that religion and worship make a person moral. How can that be when...

...Breakthrough Thinking from Inside the Box In Thomson Reuters, where I used to work as a Research Analyst, I mostly felt that I do repetitive tasks. The question hanging for me before was “How will I change my situation?”. As I thought deeper, the question evolved into “What do I really want?”, but still this doesn’t lead me to my main problem. Then I asked, “Why do I want something else?”. After series of analysis, I figured out that my main problem is just I don’t want to stop growing and learning as a person. That’s how I ended up here in the MBA program. I’m very happy now because with the help of MBA program (though still in progress) I was promoted as a Quality Control Associate. Taking the MBA program was I think the best solution for my problem. Brainstorming alone (if you can call such), or rather, thinking alone, is easier to conduct than brainstorming with a group. However, you cannot get much information. It took me more than a year that MBA program can be a solution! Brainstorming can be a faster way to improve and innovate not just intrapersonal but also in a small-medium-or-large group. In a brainstorming session, many are just “free-riders” especially if it’s a big group. Many, if not all, resist change as said in the article. I’m glad I’ve read this article because brainstorming is a great tool for innovation. We seldom do this in my workplace and I usually think for the improvement or innovation of our processes alone. Many analysts wouldn’t like to participate...

...In any film the opening scene is one of the most important scenes as it helps the veiwer know if it's worth watching or not. In the film 'Stand by me'it has a very simple opening. It starts with a black screen with only text. Plain bold, large and says, of course, 'Stand by me'. it then goes onto a scene of the countyside, in the morning. We know this as you can see the sun hasn't fully come up and therefore the scene has low key lighting. In the scene there is a car sitting stationary off centre. There is the diagetic sound of birds singing which also gives off the feeling this car is in the middle of nowhere which gets the veiwer thinking 'why is this car here and nothing else is?'. It then goes onto a closer veiw of the car which is now midshot. You can hear soft and relaxing music playing in the background.The camera continues to close up on the car and you can now see there is a man in this car. It then cuts to a close up of the man in the from the left hand side from with a low angle shot. It looks as if he is thinking about something. The car is no longer a barrier between us and the man in the car. He sighs and moves slightly and looks at a newspaper on the passenger seat. We then get a point of view shot of the newspaper which states it is 'Wednesday, September 24th, 1985' and has a headline saying 'Attorney Christopher Chambers fatally stabbed in restaurant.'It then brings up the question 'what was the connection between the man in the can and Christopher Chambers?'...

...provision. The spiritual aspect is brought back into health care for the patients as well as the staff, where each meeting is considered a sacred encounter. Although this sounds like a hospital made in heaven, it is a reality for such hospitals as Baptist Trust in Nashville, Tennessee and Mercy Gilbert Hospital in Gilbert, Arizona (Chapman, 2007). Mind, Body, and Soul So what are the mind, body and soul? The mind is defined as the part that processes reason, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, and judges the processes of the human brain. It is the totality of the conscious and unconscious thought processes and activities (Dictionary.com, 2011). The body is the physical being that can be seen with the naked eye. This brings us to the question of: what is a soul? According to the dictionary the soul is “the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body and the mind; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part. Also believed to survive death...

...this type of pollution results from “land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition, drainage, seepage or hydrologic modification,” according to Epa.gov (2010). However, Point Source Pollution happens because the dumping of the sewage, garbage, ship oils, and other waste from human activity. These pollutants and toxins kill the ecosystem. These would be the negative human impacts. Additional effects are contaminated drinking water which can cause a variety of health problems such as, ear , eyes and throat irritation, aggravate symptoms of asthma and chronic bronchitis just to name a few. These pollutants are a threat to public health These effects from pollutants have damaging consequences on the drinking water supplies, fisheries, wildlife, and recreational use such as swimming. The growing human population is also a problem because the demand for water already exceeds the current water supply. As the human population continue to increase so will the demand the demand for water. Humans pollute the water with trash, pesticides, fertilizers, sewer overflows, oil, grease, pet’s form of waste, decaying plant materials and incompetent sewage treatment plants; this would also be a negative human impact. These all contribute to the toxic substances that eventually run off into the water system. With the...

...George Baker SOC300-023 August 21, 2011 Case: Country A “The Agrarian” Sociology has helped us to understand why different groups of the human race act the way they do, as well as introduces us to other cultures, and different backgrounds. The case study gives a good example of the different roles culture plays in the attitudes of the different groups and how everyday lives are affected. When we look at Case Study A, we must first examine the measurements of underdevelopment, socially, economically and politically. We must also know what defines a undeveloped country and its main theories of underdevelopment. These two theories respectively are the modernization theory and the dependency theory. Almost one half of third world families depend on agriculture to feed there families. One billion of the rural poor live in dangerous conditions. A large percent of the population relys on agriculture for its survival. Agrarian reform is what we are dealing...

...The perspective that I’m writing about that “fits” or is the closest to my own way of thinking is the humanistic theory. I chose to write about this because I agree with Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow in that people are generally motivated to improve or achieve the highest level of success that an individual can. Even though Carl Rodgers believed that the actualizing tendency applied to all organisms and not just humans, I figured he deserved to be mentioned along with Abraham Maslow beings they both were on the same track together. Rodgers and Maslow held that human beings are inherently good and seek the good in their lives. I like the fact that every human being on this planet is responsible for achieving their own level of success, whatever that might be to each individual. Maslow’s also believes that in order to achieve self-actualization, all the other needs need to be met and satisfied in a hierarchical order: beginning with a person’s basic needs, moving toward safety, then belonging and finally to esteem. To me this was a nail hit right on the head, because you wouldn’t be able to move forward or help anybody else until these things are done first. Humanistic psychology helped remove the stigma attached to therapy, and made it easier for healthy normal individuals to be able to explore their abilities and their potential through therapy. This also...

...Good Thinking is Inspired by Good Values That One Practices On A Daily Basis Thinking is the highest mental activity present in man. All human achievements and progress are simply the products of thought. Thus, man’s thinking can change the world to a better place or even worse too. In today’s society, we can see many types of crime happened around us. The major factor that encourage these people to do such thing is not because they are forced by the bad situation but is they have bad thought to achieve or get something. They are selfish, heartless, only care about themselves and sometimes they are lazy to work for money. And thus, they rob, snatch, cheat and abduct people who are usually weak or don’t have much experience in handle with ‘bad guys’ . For instances, old lady, young lady, woman and child. In short, good thinking is significant to a person to ensure he has a bright future and brings our society to a better place. So, it is important to us to talk about good thinking. In facts, good thinking is inspired by good values that one practices in daily basis. Now, there are many questions appear in our brain. Firstly, what are the good values we practices in life? How we practice these values in our daily life? And, how these good values affect our thinking? First and foremost, the most important value that we should practice in our daily basis is to be appreciate everything we own now. We have to appreciate every moment we spent with friends, family and lover...
