...High school and part time job Having a good career is generally what we all want after getting a degree. Smart people, who have skills and experience, will most likely land the job that their degree gets. Many young people know that they can learn such valuable experiences by having part time job during their high school. From what we have observed from our classmates and the articles, we end up with an idea that Denise might be allowed to have a part time job in her limited time, with the supervision of her parents as long as she keeps her grades up at school. (If- clause) In addition, she also needs to explain her goals and why she wants to work. The article, which supports students’ working, is totally right that we all will learn at least something when we work (Relative clause). We have to learn responsibilities about our actions. When we work, we have to follow some norms and rules. Because of following those rules, we will train ourselves better. If Denise Liu is allowed to work, she will be trained to be on time, be responsible, be diligent, etc, and those good habits will help her in achieving success later on. More than that, it would be better if Denise Liu was trained in her youth because things imprints last longer on a fresh young mind. Taking the experiences of our peers into account, we have had think about why two of our friend do not like to work part time. In Glenisha’s case, she probably didn’t know how to manage her time and how to properly...

...Pride vs. Humility The Bible teaches us that humility is a virtue worth seeking and that pride is a sin. Culture throughout history seems to disagree with this perspective. Or do they, is it just so elusive that we grow weary of seeking it and simply give up? Does the lack of humility have any profound effects on our lives? Or can we simply cease striving for a goal that offers no benefit to our success and happiness? Pride is not a new attitude. We see pride is the source of the fall of Lucifer from glory in Isaiah 14:12-17 and will ultimately lead to his demise as we read in Revelation 20:10. (HSCB) King Nebuchadnezzar was so prideful in his accomplishments in building his kingdom that God caused him to go insane and live as a wild animal for seven years. Paul addresses two cultures in the Book of Romans that struggle with their own forms of pride, the Greeks and the Jews. The Greeks saw themselves as highly cultured and everyone else as barbarians. The Jewish culture saw themselves as better then others because they were (and still are) God’s chosen people. Today’s culture teaches American’s to be aggressive, to distinguish ourselves, and to stand apart from the rest; it teaches us pride. So is there any harm in being prideful? Let’s examine just one problem that arises when we are prideful, division. Pride causes division between God and us. Adam and Eve experienced this division at the introduction of sin into the world. In Genesis 3:5-6, Satan tells Eve that...

...Atticus’s loving nature is sprouted through his humility and faith in God. This novel exhibits many parts where Atticus shows his humility and approaches situations just as God would have done. A strong example of when Atticus presents his humbleness and belief in God is when he is approached by Bob Ewell, the person Atticus is trying to prove guilty with the Tom Robinson case. “Mr. Ewell approached him, cursing him, spat on him, and threatened to kill him….Atticus didn’t bat an eye, just took out his handkerchief and wiped his face and stood there…Atticus’s peaceful reaction…put his hands in his pockets and strolled on…” (pg., 291). Atticus’s counter reaction of being spat on the face is remarkable, he “just took out his handkerchief and...

...Scout: “You aren’t really a nigger-lover, then, are you?” Atticus: “I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody…” Analyse how the theme of prejudice pervades the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Prejudice stems from several interconnected factors: the absence of self-respect and moral education and the presence of ignorance. The lack of self-respect can lead to an individual feeling unsatisfied with themselves and when this happens, they instinctively lower others in order to raise themselves up. This leads to ignorance as one does not empathise with someone that they have dehumanised, thus they cannot gain knowledge of the other person leading them to assume knowledge without evidence. Because of this, they cannot raise their children to become empathetic human beings, causing them to develop into ignorant and prejudicial beings themselves. The nature of prejudice and the factors affecting its existence are pervaded in Harper Lee’s novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Through the dual narration of Scout Finch and drawing inspiration from her own life, Lee allows for the reader to gain insight into the fatalities of a society steeped in prejudice. The absence of self-respect is destructive for both the individual lacking the quality and the people surrounding them. An individual not employing self-respect is unable to respect others and through this, prejudice can be created. This is demonstrated through Bob Ewell’s actions against Tom Robinson. In the court room when Mr Ewell...

...……………………………………………………………………….......page 5 SUMMARY Author John Dickson has written a book on a word that is often misunderstood and misused. In his book Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, AND Leadership, He takes a multi-dimensional look at the subject of humility. He is very aware that writing a book on this subject can give the appearance that he himself has been able to achieve the goal of being known as a humble person. However, the opposite is true, Dickson writes, “Humility stands alone among the virtues in that as soon as you think that you have, you probably don’t.” This statement shows that in no way he thinks that he has been able to achieve this lofty goal. Dickson means for this book to be a practical one and hopes to achieve his thesis statement in which he writes, “My thesis is simple: The most influential and inspiring people are often marked by humility.” With that in mind, he sets the reader on a chapter by chapter tour with such subjects as to why humility is important, how it fits in through the cultural history, leadership, common sense, persuasion, how it’s inspiring, how the ancient Greek world lacked it and ends with how it is possible to become more humble. Across these diverse subjects Dickson is able to show how humility plays such a huge part in the thinking of the world today. He in no uncertain terms...

..."Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also I Christ Jesus who, although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a bond servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient, to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Phil. 2:3-8, NASB) Paul sent out a blast news bulletin, which was fired at the Philippian culture as well as our own. Like us the Greeks and Romans exalted the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

...De’Aisha Waller Professor Trokan Religion 102 November 11, 2013 "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." This one sentence summary found at the very end of Luke 18:9-14 should give us all a good slap in the face. This particular passage is of vital importance in the Christian walk. Luke 18:9-14 tells us about a Pharisee and a tax collector who both go to a temple to pray. The Pharisee stands before God praying about himself; he thanks God that he is not like other men and women and that he is not like the tax collector beside him. At the same time, the tax collector lays himself down before the Lord praying that God have mercy on him, a sinner. Recognizing his sin and unworthiness the tax collector humbles himself and asks for the Lords mercy; which brings him forgiveness and peace. The Pharisee on the other hand looks down upon the tax collector and even thanks God that he is not like other men and women. This sense of self drives a wedge in the Pharisees relationship to God and also brings wrath and judgment upon himself. As I read this passage I found myself saying, "I must remain humble." Asking that question daily in every situation and circumstance will help each to avoid a mind set of self-righteousness as seen in Luke 18:9-14. (cf. Forerunner Commentary) The historical context of Luke is fairly interesting. Upon reading the gospels one might conclude that Matthew, Mark and Luke all pretty much say the same...

...Wisdom is a compilation of a life's experience marked by humility, kairos, and unselfishness. Wisdom is an idea that is often confused with or improperly attributed to old age. Not all old people are wise, though many are. Conversely, not all wise people are old. One often hears the phrase "wise beyond years" in reference to a young person who displays the traits of wisdom. However, true wisdom is a result of strong life experiences. Naturally, older folks have had more experiences from which to draw wisdom, so it is easy to limit wisdom to old people. But, the key to wisdom is the strength of the experience. A young person may have an extraordinary experience which teaches him or her a powerful lesson. Lessons of this type often transform into wisdom. Experience is just one of the major ingredients of wisdom; humility is also a requirement. Because wisdom is bestowed upon a person by virtue of others’ recognition, humility must be a possession of the wise person. To claim wisdom for oneself is foolishness. Humility is characterized by a person’s unwillingness to be the center of attention or by a person’s quickness to share credit or place others in a superior position. One who is wise recognizes that the standing of others should take precedence to his or her own standing. Therefore, the wise person takes in account what is best for others when offering advice or information. In addition to experience and humility, wisdom also incorporates the Greek term kairos. Kairos...

...Servant Leadership (Mark 10:45) is modeled after the attributes of Jesus Christ and energized to action by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, God's Son, was the ultimate example of a leader who took on the form of a servant and humbled himself even to death on the cross in order to fulfill His Father's redemptive plan for humanity. His example far surpasses the attempts Christian leaders make today unless they apply Philippians 2:5 to their lives: "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." There are many seminars and conferences offered consistently throughout the country that address the qualities leaders need to be successful in business or in life in general. Leadership skills such as organization, planning, visionary techniques, relationship management strategies and assertiveness training are all emphasized as being crucial. Even though there are important skills to be learned in order to succeed in life, an interesting paradox is drawn between the qualities of a Christian leader and the worldly leader. Leaders often get a bad reputation for their means of achieving success. For example, many times skills such as focusing on goals no matter the circumstances, doing whatever it takes to get the job done and stepping on others to reach the top have become the norm within the cooperate or secular workplace. Unfortunately, this mindset is also reflected in the lives of many Christians. That is not to say that leaders' qualities such as a good work ethic, personal...
