...Through out the semester of the course I have learned a lot of information about my self. Some of them were things I already knew but a lot of them were things I didn’t know. Over the course of the semester I took a number of personal profiling tests and they really helped me to discover some of the traits I have that I did not know I had before. By taking this class it also made me think about my values and skills. This class also helped me to consider what majors I could pick for the rest of my college career. One of the personal profiling tests I took was call the Choices Interest Profiler. The Choices Interest Profiler is a program that helps people discover their personal interest and it also gives you some possible occupation ideas that would match with you interests. My results of the Choices Interest Profiler were artistic, investigative, and social. The occupations the Choices Interest Profiler gave me were anthropologist and sociologist. I do not think my results were very accurate because I do not think I am an artistic or a social person. I think the investigative part was right because I like doing math and solving things so I think that would be under the category of investigative. The occupations the Choices Interest Profiler gave me don’t really interest me so I do not think the program did an accurate job of that either. I think the results you get from the Interest Profiler depend on a lot of things. I think the reason my results did not accurately reflect...

...arguments involved. They have one view however, this is not necessarily the right view. In this essay, I am going to view both arguments and then conclude with my opinion and the argument that I agree with. In the media, there are a lot of programmes such as Family Guy, Citizen Khan, The Simpsons and Father Ted where there are jokes about religion. I feel that most of these jokes are funny however, I think that some of the jokes aren't funny and that they could offend some people of that religion. I think that this quote, 'Offending the minority to entertain the majority' explains what the media thinks. But is it right to do this? What if the 'minority' was the whole religion? How would we know? I don't agree with this quote. This is because we don't know how big the 'minority' is. It could only be a few people but it also could be the whole religion it was directed at. People take things in different ways. How would the media know how many people it was going to offend? There can be lots of damage done by stereotyping/ joking about a religion as it is a subject that many people feel strongly about. It is something people follow for their whole lives and something that they look up to. It is very offensive when someone makes a joke about it. This quote: 'There are no limits to comedy...there is nothing you cannot be funny about...' is similar as I feel the same way. I think that comedy is something that doesn't offend one person and something that entertains everybody. It isn't...

...cancer. From the evening we managed to raise approximately £450 for the two charities and also we received a lot of positive feedback on the evening so I think based on that we achieved our aims that we had prior to the event. In the initial stages of planning the event things did get off to a bit of a slow start. This was maybe due to the morale after the feasibility study, however this didn’t last too long and eventually the group started working effectively as a team together. Tom was the project manager and delegated the tasks fairly amongst the group he took on a lot of work for himself as well. After the accidental handing in of an incomplete draft copy, we handed in the draft copy of the event plan and took in the feedback given and corrected and added things to complete it. However there were still a few issues in the weeks leading up to the event, the decorations were a slight issue, but caroline provided the group with some table decorations which was really helpful. On a whole though I think that the groups teamwork on the event plan was much better than on the feasibility study. We mostly made use of social networking sites for the promotion of the event. A hungry horses facebook group was made and from this we made an event and all shared it on our pages to try and reach as wide an audience as we could, I think that this was an effective way of doing it because all five members could display it to all their friends online.

She thinks that he looks ok, but she doesn’t really know for sure. This is because she lives in France, so she doesn’t know much about him. Simone Biles: She thinks that he is not good but not terrible either. She thinks that as long as he does good for our country, she is ok with him. She did however think it would have been cool to have a female president, but she doesn’t want to offend anyone. Buddy: Buddy thinks that our new president is a very good choice. He thinks that because Trump likes sugar and so does he. He likes candy, candy canes, candy corns, and sugar. Trump was his first pick purely because he likes sugar too....

...have a good reputation among Greeks, Meno – for being such good riders and for being so rich; now, it seems, they are famous for wisdom, particularly your friend and fellow citizen, Aristippus of Larissa. The credit goes to Gorgias, for when he moved to your city the leading Aleuadae – your lover Aristippus among them – fell in love with his wisdom, and so did the other leading Thessalians. Specifically, he got all of you into the habit of giving sweeping and confident answers to any questions put to you – as if you were all experts. In fact, he himself was always ready to answer any question put by any Greek; all questions answered. On the other hand, here in Athens, my dear Meno, the opposite is the case. Here it’s as though there were a wisdom drought; it has all drained away to where you come from. So if you want to put this sort of question to one of us, everyone will have a good laugh and say to you: ‘Good stranger, you must think I am a lucky man, to know whether virtue can be taught or not, or where it comes from. Me, I’m so far from knowing whether virtue can be taught or not that I don’t even know what it is.’ I’m just as badly off as all my fellow citizens in this regard, Meno, and I blame no one but myself for my utter ignorance about virtue. For if I don’t know what something is, how could I know what it’s like? Unless you think someone who has no idea who Meno is could know whether he is handsome or rich or a real gentleman, or just the opposite? Do you think that...

...Capitalism ADI IGNATIUS: Now, your article is meant to fix a problem. What is the problem? MICHAEL PORTER: Well, the problem is I think we've gotten into a very vicious cycle in thinking about the relationship between business and society. And really, the purpose of capitalism, and the benefits of the capitalist system to society, and to meeting society's needs-- needs like improving people's lives, and improving the health of communities. We've gotten into a cycle where, I think, business has evolved and thinking about business management has evolved, in a direction that we've narrowed the scope of how you create economic value. And increasingly, companies are being perceived as creating profit at the expense of the community, not creating profit that actually ultimately benefits the communities. As a result of this, I think government has increasingly seen business as a problem, as a source of bad things in society. And the mindset is becoming increasingly to regulate, to control, to tax. And ultimately, now often political leaders are unable to pursue business-friendly public policies, because the political environment almost forces them to be tough on business. Despite the fact that we know at some deep level, business and society need each other. But we've kind of gotten ourselves into a bad place. ADI IGNATIUS: But, I think a lot of business people would argue, what we do is run businesses, and we make profits. And when we're successful we hire people. And that's...

...I think that Sparta was more superior than Athens for many reasons. Sparta had a much greater military, they would even train every day. Spartans also had a geographic advantage to Athens because they had there mountains surrounding them on each side so it was much harder for them to be invaded. I also think that they had a better form of government compared to Athens and gave better rights to Women and children. Athens does have some things that are more superior than Sparta, like there education, but I think that Sparta has much more to offer. In my opinion I think that Sparta had a much better military than Athens did . I think this because Sparta was basically known for its military and warfare and how good they were at it. Spartan...

...done so that we can assess whether we have met our targets and reflect back on work we have done. Also to evaluate what we would change about it if there was going to be a next time. Enterprise activity In my opinion I think that our enterprise event was a success in many ways, firstly the sales turnover was a success, as we achieved a higher level of sales then predicted on an excellent day in our sales forecast. When we worked out how much money we were going to earn and how many products we were going to sell, we had a predicted sales turnover of 60 but we achieved a sales turnover of 90, this is excellent and i believe this is down to the location we picked for the stall and it was a reasonably warm day so many people would enjoy a refreshing ice cream. Secondly profit, again we earned more profit than we were predicted and after taking away all the expenses our profit was higher than most groups in our class. Our estimated profit on an excellent day was £24.95 but we reached £64.36, this is £30.41 over what we were expected to make. We had accurate stock in terms of the ice cream and cones as the last scoop of ice cream went to the last person in the queue at the very end of lunch. However the toppings did run out about half way through lunch which I think was down to George as he purchased the flakes and sauces. To overcome this, he should have bought double the amount he had and that would have lasted us all lunch time. In addition our maximisation of sales opportunity...

...work more than two years. B: Oh, sorry. I’m not quite sure I understand. A: It means that employees must complete two training courses per year after their second year. B: Really? That will make some disadvantages. Because It takes lots of time for the employees to join in training courses so they will busier. Moreover, some departments can be off because the staffs take part in training courses. A: I see what you mean but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Employees can improve knowledge and experience. Additionally, the company can check employees’ability if they could still work well. The courses can help them to work more effectively. B: You are right. But, in my opinion, some courses are not really necessary for employees’task. A: I think we need to propose some changes in training courses. Oh, sorry. I think I need to go back to my work. See you later. Bye. B: Bye bye. 2/ problems with a current project A: Hello, how are you today? B: I’m fine, thank you. And you?

So, as long as children don’t spend too much time reading comic books, comic books could be good for them. I think reading books is good for children, but some children don’t like reading books. However, some of these children like reading comic books. It would be difficult for children who are not accustomed to reading texts to start reading books. But, once they come to like reading comic books, it would be a bit easier for them to start reading books. I mean, comic books could help children start reading un-comic books.

...Philosophy Final Paper For this paper I chose the topic of gay marriage. I chose gay marriage because I know that there has been a lot of controversy over the subject. People either say gay marriage is unnatural, immoral, and wrong or to not let them marry is discrimination and not equal treatment. The first article is arguing for gay marriage and the second article is arguing against it. While both articles give some good arguments, the first article is definitely the stronger of the two. I myself am against gay marriage, but both of these articles pose good points, but also some flaws. The first article I read was from USA Today arguing that the problem with not allowing gay marriage is that it’s not equal treatment. They start out the article with giving a premise saying that traditionalist only see marriage in religious terms and that they say by common definition, marriage involves a man and woman. I think this argument is weak because the premise isn’t really supporting the conclusion, its just saying that a certain group of people thinks that way. After this they propose the premise saying that judges look at marriage as far from a religious matter and that the state gives married couples privileged treatment under law. I think this premise is weak because it doesn’t really explain how they homosexuals are treated unequal, it’s just saying what privileges married couples get. Next he goes on to give the premise that homosexual couples, even some together 20-30 years...

...Kill a Mockingbird, I think that I have a personality similar to Mr. Walter Cunningham. Some of our personality traits are different, but I think we have some similar traits. Mr. Walter Cunningham in this novel has a role. He is not a main character, but he is brought up several times. He sounds like a good man when he denies gifts, but he also was in a mob that tried to kill Tom Robinson. Atticus Finch said, “‘Mr. Cunningham’s basically a good man,’ he said, ‘he just has his blind spots along with the rest of us’” (Lee 210). I believe we all have blind spots, and some have them more than others. In my opinion, I think that our greatest similarity is our blind spots. You always want to think the best of yourself, but sometimes...

...I took this class because it’s a college class that transfers to both Dordt and Northwestern, so whichever one I go to I will not have to take it there (assuming I pass the class). I also took it because my sister told me that it’s a good class to take, especially because it is challenging. I was not so sure about that because I do not always like to be challenged in school. I am not the biggest fan of writing. Papers are not exactly my forte. I would much rather take a test over a unit than write a paper. I am open to writing a paper, but I think it takes me a lot more time to write a paper than it really should because I overthink things too easily, which could be both good or bad. I am excited for this course because I have been enjoying The Life of Pi, and I think I have a good idea on what to write for the paper. I am also very nervous for this course because I have heard that the grading is pretty hard. I heard that you have to be pretty perfect in your paper in order to get a good grade....
