...Questions: * Why is it such a crime if a women enjoys sex with her significant other, but for men it gives them a status of being a stud? * Where did the word slut come from, why did people choose names such as pussy, or douchbag for name calling? Application: For me this is hard to grasp. If a man has a one night stand with a girl at the party the next morning the guy gets greeted with cheers. But if a girl has a one night stand the next morning her friends greet her with a why would you hook up with a random guy you are a slut. Just like if a person is African American yeah there skin color is different than a white person, but that doesn’t make them different then a white person. They could have the same morals and same likes or interests as me. For me I hate how people put us into categories as you’re a male, or you’re a female. You’re Asian and you’re Hispanic. Reflection/Response: This article really made me realize how easy it is to get raped or taken advantage of. I have been to frat parties at the U of M and they are huge parties. I have seen so many people lose themselves by over doing it on the alcohol. Everyone knows how easy it is when...

...Jerome Chang Bible 9 Mr. Dellos December 1st 2014 Nat Geo Style Genesis Travel Blog with Abraham According to the dictionary, covenant means an agreement or to agree on something. However, in a Christian point of view, there is more to the definition than just an agreement. In Genesis 12:1~3 there is an Abrahamic Covenant. One of the most famous covenant. There are two types of covenants, conditional and unconditional. A conditional covenant is an agreement that is on both parties for its fulfillment. Both parties agree to fulfill certain conditions. If either party fails to meet their responsibilities, the covenant is broken and neither party has to fulfill the expectations of the covenant. An unconditional covenant is an agreement between...

...King Lear and 1984 Power King Lear offers a reflection on power or, more accurately, the loss of power. After retiring and divvying up his kingdom among his ungrateful daughters, Lear discovers what it's like to lose the power and authority that come with the responsibilities of active rule. In addition to being a monarch, King Lear is also a family patriarch and Shakespeare asks us to consider the similarities between a father's relationship with his children and a king's relationship with his subjects. Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter; Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty;... 1984 is not just about totalitarianism; it makes us live through totalitarianism. The Party wants power for its own sake. The Party carefully monitors the behavior of all of its constituents. Morning group exercises are mandatory. The Party demands that all loyalty created in private be severed, and that the only acceptable loyalty is loyalty to the Party. The Party condemns sex, and brainwashes its constituents. The Party recognizes no concept of a "family" other than the collective family under rule by the Party. The Party controls everything – the past, the present, and the future – by controlling historical records, language, and even thought. The Party tortures and "vaporizes" those who harbor rebellious thoughts. The state suffers through constant warfare. The conditions are dilapidated, but the citizens do not know better. Classism exists everywhere, and different classes...

...Review and reflection paper: PERSONAL ASPECTS OF CONFLICTS PERSONAL ASPECTS OF CONFLICTS A Review of Literature and Reflections in Real Life Experiences Conflict Management and Resolutions Author's Note: This paper was prepared for Conflict Research Preview course Part One: Definition of literal terms Law of Social Relations (Deutsch, 2006): "The characteristic processes and effects elicited by a given type of social relationship also tend to elicit that type of social relationship."(Deutsch, 2006, p. 29) Positive and trusting gestures will result cooperative responses while single sided and dominating gestures revoke competitive responses. Goal interdependency is key for understanding cooperation/competition relationships perceived by the involved parties as "win-loose/win-win" situations. Skills and Knowledge (Deutsch, 2006): skills and knowledge are key requirements in order to predict, avoid, manage and resolve conflicts. Deutsch (Deutsch, 2006, p. 18) refers to three levels of skills. First, skills have to do with establishing and maintaining effective working relationships. Second, it is emphasized that skills are required to sustain a cooperative conflict resolution process. Third, skills are essential for developing effective group problem-solving and decision-making processes. Biases (Thompson, Nadler, Lount, Jr, 2006): are explained as "systematic errors and parterre fallacy" (Thompson, Nadler...

...Stephanie Fuller CRJU 1400: T,TH 10-11:20 Research Paper September 26, 2013 The facts of the case are: The involved parties in this situation are myself as a juvenile probation agency’s intern, the seasoned juvenile probation officer that I work with, and a juvenile probationer. Everyone in this situation is at stake. The decision that I make could either make or break my future career if I act immorally, it will start a pattern that could be hard to be broken and could possibly deter future potential employers from hiring me. The seasoned officer could be rewarded or penalized as well. The reward could come from showing that he has done a good job with expressing to me, the intern, how important ethics and morals is when it comes to being a juvenile probation officer when it comes to decision making. As far as the probationer goes, if something is allowed to be swept up under the rug, they are not learning from their mistakes. They may continue to act in the same delinquent behavior that got them on probation in the first place and could possibly face more serious trouble in the future. Even though a violation may set them back a bit from some of their accomplishments, it is one of the consequences of violating probation. As an intern, I am expected to act as full time employee of the company and to abide by all of the company’s code of ethics. As a probationer, they are expected to abide by all of the rules set forth by their probation officer. The moral issue: ...

...Casandra Cabral-Castro Professor Henley MUS 211 World Music Cultures May 1, 2014 A Glimpse into Gypsy Jazz Gypsy jazz is wanderer music, created on the move of many, and is comprised of numerous musical traditions. Gypsies originated in India. In the year 1001, an army of peasants were drafted to fight Muslim invaders. The wars lasted thirty years, after which the warriors migrated west to Byzantium. From there they migrated through Egypt and North Africa to Spain and France. In Spain they became known as gitanos and, in France, gitans. They were first reported in France in 1418. Some then continued on to Russia and Eastern Europe, (Silverman, 2000). Some eastern Europeans originally saw the Romani people as valuable new citizens. A couple of centuries later laws were passed excluding Romani from marrying spouses from other ethnic groups, and many Romani were detained and forced into slavery, (Silverman, 2000). This continued for five hundred years. During World War II, the Nazis murdered approximately two and a half million Romanies. They were sentenced to forced labor and imprisonment in concentration camps. More often than not they were killed on sight, especially on the Eastern Front. In central and eastern Europe, Romanies experienced restrictions of cultural freedom. The Romani language and music were banned from public performance, they were moved to live in border areas, and their nomadic lifestyle was forbidden. Romani women were sterilized as part of a state...

Crucial information presented includes: 1. Introductory materials on Reflection by Diane Hedin and Dan Conrad 2. Reflective teaching techniques using eleven different forms of reflection rather than just using journals and asking how participants feel about service 3. Basic critical thinking skills that may be used in reflection sessions 4. Bibliography Reflection Reflective learning techniques are not the lone providence of service activities. All thinking and dialogue requires some form of reflection if learning is to take place. Individuals need time and reconsideration of events to put facts and ideas into sequence and eventually into a better understanding as to what happened during a specific event. Everyone in their life-time will be required to repeat this process endlessly. Nevertheless, schools do little...

...Reflection Paper The event happened the night before I left for home for Christmas break. A friend and I went over to Teresa to hang out with friends in somebody’s dorm room. There was no alcohol when we got there but somebody suggested that we get alcohol. Somebody went to get beer, Axis energy drinks containing alcohol and a couple of 40 oz. malt liquor bottles. I took an Axis and only had a few sips, not liking the taste. I knew I shouldn’t have been in the environment I was in, with so much alcohol and alcohol drinking going on. I knew it wasn’t allowed on campus, yet continued to stay in the room and talk to people and listen to music. At one point during the night I noticed many people leaving the room, not realizing immediately that a resident assistant was at the door. My first instinct was to stay. I had no thought of leaving, and knew I had to take responsibility for my actions. I spoke with the RA giving him my name and telling him my ID number having left my card in my dorm room. I helped count the alcohol cans in the room and proceeded to help bring them out to the dumpster. I was very nervous as to if my parents would find out because I know that they would be extremely disappointed, possibly even pulling me out of St. Edward’s and making me go to school closer to home. So I am extremely fortunate that they did not find out and I do not plan on doing anything to get in trouble again. If I am ever put in this situation again I would leave immediately if I found...

...Gray Area of Mike Brown Every day, African American males encounter a law enforcement officer; whether it is for formal contact or just a passing by moment. At the time of contact, each party has a decision to make based on experience, stereotypes and his or her own personal fear. These perceived thoughts are not always intentional, but is a direct reflection of the learned behavior that has become the muscle memory of their actions. At some point, the population must be willing to look beyond those things that limit or hinder the ability to see what is outside of the blinders that are being worn. With the case of Mike Brown, there were several documented opportunities that both parties could have benefited from, by having additional training and decision-making skills to prevent that fatal turn of events. There is a dire need for sensitivity training within law enforcement as it relates to cultural traditions, habits or tendencies. However, there is also a need for a re-identification of social standards and those things deemed acceptable socially within the African American community. As a law enforcement officer, the oath is taken to protect and serve the occupants of the communities that they are assigned. With that being said, there should be an onus on each oath taking officer to know the persons and tendencies of those that occupy those communities. Assumingly, knowing the best method of communication seems beneficial. Also knowing the cause and effect of certain actions...

...According to the short essay “On Going Home” by Joan Didion, you can never go back home once you’ve acquired another. Didion explains generation gaps during the rocky path towards self-realization and acceptance while attending what we call life. She explains that there is a certain time in which people find themselves in what is described as a mid-life crisis- the realization that what was a familiar and comfortable past is now not the present. As teenagers we wait anxiously for the day we once and for all move out and be free to explore the world from a new mindset. However, in Didion's essay we see that there is a possibility of a new reality of what lies ahead once we step out of the house we grew up in. Her life now consists of dealing with her marriage, raising her daughter, and living in Los Angeles; Didion's persona throughout the essay is that she is often triggered by past experiences that lead her into a lingering sensation of nostalgia and uneasiness but yet hope and acceptance as well. Didion is obviously conflicted with the strong values she holds towards her childhood family life and new family life in LA, wishing to unite them in her marriage. Her husband is troubled to be with her family in this "home" on account of her turning into a different person around her family. It becomes apparent her husband was raised conflictingly and doesn't appreciate it when his wife falls victim to the ways of her family, ". . .which are difficult, oblique, deliberately inarticulate"...

...Madness Ana Menendez is a journalist and an ardent scholar. She was born in 1970 and grew up in Florida after her parents had fled from Cuba in 1964 during the Cuban Revolution. Her family having first settled in Los Angeles, California, Menendez could not speak any other language apart from Spanish until she enrolled in Kindergarten. However, she later moved with her family to Florida where she attended high school and thereafter joined Florida International University from where she graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts in 1992. Her story Traveling Madness basically involves four main characters who are all “dreamers”. The story is based on and highlights the plight and disillusionment visited on the Cuban population by the communist party and the ways in which different people dealt with the economic and social adversities that typified the era of communism in Cuba. Self-aware of the dangers that confronted them, some wished to fly away to the moon; others desired to set sail and vanish; and others actually thought they could drill a hole from Havana to Miami (Delbanco and Cheuse) From the foregoing, while self-awareness is a critical aspect of personal development and self-exploration, it does not always bear positive fruits – sometimes it acts as a source of frustration, conflict and stress. In spite of her age, Menendez has proven herself to be a prolific fiction writer; a fact attested to by her works of fiction such as In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd, Loving Che, and...

...The theme of Political Strife in Orwell’s 1984 Student’s name Institution name Abstract Orwell’s 1984 is another masterfully done piece of work that captures the political scenario across the world. Having written it in 1964, the book foretells the political events of the coming 1984 generations. This is a purely prophetic book that is inspired by Orwell’s sharp observation and political analytical skills. In this book, the life of the characters is purely determined by the political happenings of the time. (Bloom, 2007). Many literary and political analysts have found a place to refer to in interpreting political realities of the world in George Orwell’s works. Orwell is remembered for his other book Animal Farm that continues to spark emotional reactions from all over the world every day. A look at how the political theme gets manifested can help one to understand better the happenings in the story and their general applicability to the world we are living in. The Theme of Political Strife There are a number of themes that Orwell (1964) brings out in his book 1984. It is a prediction of the coming political sceneries in future since its publication came earlier before the year 1984. Among the major themes that can be found in the story are betrayal...

...“The good book does indeed count war an evil, said Irving. Yet there's many a bloody tale of war inside it” (McCarthy 248). Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian tells the story of “the kid,” who joins the Glanton party—a group of men who ruthlessly scalped Native Americans and eventually others for bounty. The atrocities committed by the Glanton party are magnified by the presence of the judge, who seems to hold a deep understanding of God and the nature of the universe. This text seems to hold some of the same beliefs as a Gnostic worldview. Gnostic sects are present in several religions with ancient roots. Gnostics believe in a dual God—the False part of God who is found in human nature’s ways, and the True part of God who is beyond human...
