...In reality, apart from a few strictly defined physical sciences, most scientific disciplines have to bend and adapt these rules, especially sciences involving the unpredictability of natural organisms and humans. In many ways, it is not always important to know the exact scientific method, to the letter, but any scientist should have a good understanding of the underlying principles. In many ways, if you are going to bend and adapt the rules, you need to understand the rules in the first place. Empirical Science is based purely around observation and measurement, and the vast majority of research involves some type of practical experimentation. This can be anything, from measuring the Doppler Shift of a distant galaxy to handing out questionnaires in a shopping center. This may sound obvious, but this distinction stems back to the time of the Ancient Greek Philosophers. Cutting a long story short, Plato believed that all knowledge could be reasoned; Aristotle that knowledge relied upon empirical observation and measurement. This does bring up one interesting anomaly. Strictly speaking, the great physicists, such as Einstein and Stephen Hawking, are not scientists. They generate sweeping and elegant theories and mathematical models to describe the universe and the very nature of time, but measure nothing. In reality, they are mathematicians, occupying their own particular niche, and they should properly be referred to as theoreticians. Still, they are still commonly referred to...

... 23rd January, 2015 I did not know that it was possible for me to be three different people while remaining in my own body the whole time. The purpose of this paper is to show the different views people have of one another, and how the relationship between the two people affects how one views another. In this paper I would like to discuss the views of three different people and how the closeness of my relationship with these people affected their view of me and my view of them. In three situations I was viewed differently by three different people that either knew me very well, knew me just enough to be friends, or did not know me at all and were a stranger that I met at a coffee shop minutes earlier. While conducting my research for this paper and getting questionnaires filled out I noticed that the closer of a relationship I had with someone the more accurate were the questionnaire results. For example when I had my significant other fill out the information about me, only one of the answers was something that was in the unknown to me. However when I asked my casual friend to answer a few questions and I did the same about him I found the results to be rather different than either of us expected and not too accurate. When I finally asked a stranger at a coffee shop to answer a few questions about their first impression of me and I did the same about them, the answers surprised both of us as we had never met however the results...

...Why I need the people around me To me, the people around me are to me like oxygen is to a tree. Of course, the tree might live a short period of time without oxygen but it will be tough. I might make it on my own for a while although it is tough, or, at least, that is what I might think but I can do great things with a team, the people around me. I was always taught that there is no I in the team and I value that. Together is just so much better than me because imagine the fun in making a beautiful cake all by yourself and imagine the fun in doing it with your friends, icing and smiles will be on everyone’s faces and there will definitely be memories in their hearts. The people around me are like a support system, there is someone I can talk to when it gets tough, someone that I can cheer up when it's tough for them people to share experiences and memories with and people that will dream with me when I share my dreams with them. If I value the people around me I will involve them the way Jesus involved people when he talked, or even when he travelled. Thinking I can make it on my own is thinking “there’s no I in team but there are an m and an e” it's foolish and so dumb, because who wants to walk 1000 miles with a heavy backpack filled with burdens if you can drive 1000 miles in a bus filled with joy, laughter and support. Together we...

...Three things people need to know about me are that I am a sweet caring person, do not like drama, and like to be to myself. All of these things tell something about my personality, what I basically do on my spare time, and what keeps me relax from a lot of things in life. I am sweet, caring person. I will give someone my last if I have it. Giving my kindness to someone means God is going to bless them. I can remember a time where our family took family trip to Pensacola, Florida, one spring. We had a wonderful time until I saw a homeless man lying down on the sidewalk. I always felt sorry for some people that live that way. So as I saw the man lying on the sidewalk I gave him five dollars. It was enough for him to buy a meal, and it was my last. I felt so good after I gave that man my blessing. Regardless if people are wealthy, they should give someone their last if they have it. I have a kind heart. But sometimes people might take me for granted because of how sweet I am....

...and be the light that directs me down the path I am meant to be on. God has put me on this Earth for a reason and has as plan for me. It is up to myself to figure out the plan God has planned for me and it is important for me to know that God will be with me through it all no matter the circumstance. In order for me to discover my divine design, I first must understand myself as well as my strengths and weakness in terms of interaction with people, the way I learn, the way I make my decisions and how I deal with the world around me. Right now God is asking me to be the best person possible. He brought me to Southeastern for a reason and I am still trying to figure out that exact reason but it feels right being here. I love to be around my close friends and listen to what they have to say and then give them advice about life and the things going on around them. I am an extroverted person so I am not very shy. I believe that in the future God’s plan for me is to be around a group of young adults, maybe young kids or high school aged (young adults). I love to interact with people and I get my energy from others so being around a young group of young people would be perfect for me, kind of like a small group that gathers once a week and just talks about life. God has given me multiple spiritual gifts, but one that I really like is always bringing a positive and happy vibe to a group of people, normally my friends. Whenever people are around me we are always smiling and having...

...Since I was little I’ve always liked helping people. It never mattered if they asked for help on something that I didn’t know how to do, I’d help them as much as I could. Before it was always help on homework or things that they wanted me to do. Most recently I have been through some things that really affected the way that I want to help people. I’ve met some people with really hard lives, which made me realize that I want to help people with depression. When I talk to these people they tell me about what’s happening in their lives, and it saddens me that no one else has tried to help them or even listen to them. I have an amazing family. Everyone supports everything that I do if it makes me happy. My family has shaped me into who I am today. As a little girl, I was always told “do to one, as you would do to yourself.” So, I always did. My parents raised me to be respectful to people who respected me. They were with me through tough times and through good times, and I know they will be there for me in the future when I need them to be. Growing up around both my mom and my dad, I’ve learned a lot through what they do, and how they treat people. I believe thats the reason that I dream to help people. Another thing that has encouraged me to help people is my music. The music that I listen to gets me through some bad times when I don’t want to talk to anyone. If you listen to the lyrics, they actually mean something. Usually the lyrics talk about the bad times and things the...

...others. There is a barrier-dividing people who are deaf from hearing people. Just like hearing people, the deaf like to talk with others; Conversations can be difficult for them, especially if they are trying to communicate with individuals who are not familiar with the Deaf community or sigh language. Lack of communication inhibits the interaction between people, so in order to overcome this barrier, people who are deaf key in on socialization. Experiencing what deaf people have to go through every single day in their lives was not easy to practice. Wearing earplugs for eight hours was a new experience that I learned a lot from. Having the ear plug in my ear canal created a conductive hearing loss and it could be either congenital or acquired causes. These causes can damage the shape of the pinna. The way I started interacting with people around me was not the same, as well the way they acted towards me. A lot of them were surprised that I was using my arms to point at things, and also wondering why I am not responding when they are saying, “ How am I doing today”. Nodding my head was not the answer they were expecting form me. Communicating with others was not easy at all, and it took a lot of hard work to tell people who are not familiar with the deaf community what I’m trying to say. It definitely did not help me to be more active, it was the complete opposite where it took me longer to communicate with others...

...Sandpaper People Many people in this world just rub me the wrong way. I like to call them sandpaper people. These people are included in the “Mr. or Mrs. Know-it all," “all about me” and “the little green eyed monster” categories. All of these sandpaper people rub my skin raw! However, the worst of all the sandpaper people has to be “the little green eyed monsters.” The first category that drives me to the wall is the “Mr. or Mrs. Know-it-all’s”. This person will give their “friends” lectures on how to live their life or how to treat their boyfriends while insisting on the fact that he or she knows how to handle “those things”. The Know-it-alls will make every word or action a subject of criticism and snide comments. They will say your clothes do not fit your body, your other friends are rude, your boyfriend looks unhappy and they know why. Because you’re no good and they know all of the world’s mysteries. One time I had this friend who insisted that my boyfriend was unhappy because of the way I treated him. The thing is this friend had no idea how I treated my boyfriend. They just assumed that I was the problem and that they were going to fix it, for they knew everything, by telling my boyfriend to break-up with me. Once they told him their assumption and their unruly opinion my boyfriend made clear to them that I was not treating him horribly and...

...always had my parents by my side to take care of me. They have given me such a wonderful life even if I take them on my shoulder and show them around the world I won’t be able to repay their greatness, kindness and what they did for me. The have always showed me the right path to follow. There are many aspects that stand out in my personality such as responsibility, helpful and respectful person. All of these things make me the person who I am and make me enjoy my life. One of the aspects that stand out about my personality is that I am very responsible person. When I think of responsibility, the first thing pops into my mind is my family and it means a lot to me. Ever since I was a little kid, my parents always taken care of me and looked-after me even when I was sick. They gave me everything I wanted and I never felt shortness for anything. They are old now and it is my responsibility to support them. They don have enough ability to work and that makes no difference. I will work hard for them and make them believe I am always going to be there to assist them. If they could’ve taken care of when I was young so then why can’t I support them at their old age? Also, I take care of my young brothers and sisters and trying my hard to get them education and a better life. Another aspect that stands out my personality is I am very helpful. I like to help people who have difficulties in living. For example, there are many people in our society can’t afford to buy food or need...

...I have experienced many stereotypes, and when people stereotype me I feel judged. For instance, I constantly have people ask me if my hair is fake. When I am at work, most of my African Americans customers ask me insulting questions. I am mostly asked if my hair is real or do I have extensions. In addition, people ask how I get my hair so straight and do I have a perm. When customers ask me these questions I feel judged, because they are trying to figure out why my hair is a certain way. More simply, people who are the same race as me often believe we are all supposed to be the same, so they often judges me and believe that majority of African Americans have the same experiences. I feel people stereotype me when they ask certain questions about...

...leadership style questions do not surprised me at all. I scored 76% for leadership and 24% for supervisor. These results put me in the leader category. I am not surprised with the results because I believe in motivating people and teaching them the skills required to do their job. I have had several managers say they picked me to train or teach people how to do the job because of the way I explain the process. The managers have also said that I am very thorough and patient in how I do things and how I treat the person. I am also not surprised to see that I fit the definition or explanation of the leadership style listed in the text. I am a self-starter, I find work fulfilling, and I enjoy teaching co-workers the skills necessary when they need help with achieving their goals. It makes me happy to see people develop an understanding of the job requirements and what they need to do to meet them.

...that yields a sensation of satisfaction, after accomplishing a goal, in any aspect. People are always trying to succeed. Success is an enticing challenge for anyone to prove their capability of getting what they want and also to be acknowledged. People want success to look for an improvement in their quality of life. If this is not the reason, then why else does the compelling need for feat exist? Just like everyone else, I have a dream for success. For my future I want to see myself fruitful in pursuing what I desire to do – dermatology. However, being successful to me isn’t about fulfilling selfish desires, it also entails helping others. As a future doctor, I yearn to be adept of sharing my knowledge with people that need it. In order for me to get to that level, I must endure strong adversity from a superior educational environment and achieve outstanding grades. I must also be able to stand up on my own feet and be independent, which has been a struggle for me ever since I was young. Growing up, I always had to fight for everything I wanted or believed in. I felt in any situation that I was the odd one out. I felt different, and that everyone else was a team that was out to get me. Since I was young I have always been a very timid, quiet child. However, I was very compassionate towards others and was that one friend who was always there to help. My parents and friends would often tell me to “have a spine” and to stand up for myself. I had never really felt the need to do...

...motivate them to do great things. Our Secrets by Susan Griffin tells how people in her past make her the way she is today. Many people in my live inspire me to do great things and live up to the potential I have. So many people in my live inspired me and continue to do so as I mature into adulthood. My dance teacher, grandmother, uncle, and mom all inspire me as a young child and they things they said and did are now put in to action as I see myself becoming an adult and on my own. Throughout “Our Secret” Griffin explores the different characters’ fears and secrets and she gives specific insights into these “secrets”. Through examining others Griffin comes to terms with her own feelings, secrets, and fears. Susan Griffin states, “Now, for different reasons, I too find myself on the track of a child’s soul. The dimensions of Heinrich Himmler’s life have put me on this track.’” (239). This saying the book leads me to think that Himmler shaped her and made her who she is today. My life is shaped around people who motivate to be successful. My family and friends are the ones who lead me to where I am today. Going to college was not an option it was necessary. My dance teacher, my uncle, grandmother, and mother installed the wisdom I have today. My family is very important to me; they have encouraged me through good times and supported me through bad. My family has shaped who I am today and has always been there for me. Susan Griffin states’ “At a certain age we begin to define ourselves...

...As R.J. Palacio once said. " I wish every day could be Halloween. We could all wear masks all the time. Then we could walk around and get to know each other before we got to see what we looked like under the masks." The inspiration of this quote was that people should not judge each other based off looks instead of personality. A lot of people jump to the conclusion of there a bad person just by their looks. Looks don't mean they are a bad person some aspects may look bad and that doesn't mean they are bad people. The quote inspired me emotionally. This is because to me, It feels as if they were saying this because they have been judged in a bad way. In which that would be the reason to wear the masks. The masks would hide how you look and...
