...Being recommended by my teachers for the National Juniors Honors Society has been a huge honor. The National Juniors Honors Society is a nationwide program that recognizes middle school students not just for their academic prowess, but also for their all around abilities.The five pillars of NJHS make up my character and the person I aspire to be in the future. They are service, leadership, citizenship, character, and scholarship. These five pillars are also why I would like to be a member of NJHS. This prestigious program would allow all five of these skills be heightened to their full potential. This is why membership in NJHS means so much to me. Being a part of NJHS means I can make an impact in my community. Growing up in Bowie and living here my whole life, I have seen things that could be changed for the better. Such as trash laying in my local park and homeless people with no food or shelter.I would love to hold food drives, give back to the people who don't have as much as everyone else and pick up trash so anything nature has created won't be harmed. When people are laying down on their couches, there are people in need and things to be done. I want to be the person to get up and help. That is what NJHS would help me do....

I was fortunate enough to hear of his inspiring stories about the structure, rigorous training and intense academic curriculum the USNA offered. However, for me it was the core values that the USNA instilled in my uncle of honor, respect, devotion to duty, as well as his leadership traits that are most appealing and unlike anything I would receive at another college. In addition, the camaraderie and sense of unity that’s rarely seen in most college settings are essential principles at the USNA....

...was born in Paris, France in 1905 and Doctor King was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929. Jean-Paul Sartre was a philosopher and invented the anti-hero of modern literature. This is defined as “the suffering consciousness who does not act but who hides within his ego, disgusted by the obscene reality of external things (La Nausee, 1938). He also advocated the moral posture of existentialism. This philosophy is based on the self and takes precedence over moral code and custom in which others have a voice. His philosophy paints a portrait of the predicament we are placed in by self-consciousness in the world of objects. True to his existentialist views, Jean-Paul Sartre won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964, but declined the honor. Doctor King, on the other hand was a social activist, specializing in civil rights. He grew up in the segregated South and received his Doctorate at Boston University in 1955. His exposure to the liberated North provided the motivation to fight segregation back home. Doctor King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his civil rights work. The political environment for Jean-Paul Sartre was war, but primarily influenced by World War II and communism. His philosophy on communism was to judge it by its intention and not by its actions. While Doctor King’s social and political environment was the opposing views of the North and South relating to segregation. The position up North promoted racial equality while down...

...Greek life is the fraternity and sorority community on campus. The terms "fraternity" and "sorority" describe groups of men and women who join together to offer fellowship, academic support, leadership training, participation in campus activities, service to the community and University, and preparation for future careers. They are referred to as Greek chapters because they are named according to the ancient Greek alphabet. Most chapters at Millersville are also affiliated with a national and international organization. Greek life has a strong and rich tradition at hundreds of colleges and universities across the United States and Canada, as well as here at Fullerton. It offers many opportunities to meet people, promote academic achievement, contribute to the community through service and philanthropy projects, and develop leadership skills. Most Fraternity and sorority members are involved in other organizations on campus and participate in leadership and developmental seminars on a local and national level. There are numerous leadership opportunities available within individual chapters and the many affiliated organizations. Greek life also serves as a springboard to campus-wide involvement. Sororities and fraternities recognize the need and concern throughout the year to raise money and donate time for their special philanthropies and service projects. Often the Greek community comes together to benefit worthwhile programs such as Camp Titan, as well as sponsoring community-...

In fact, almost every professional organization dealing with the field of computing has published its own code of ethics. For this text, I selected the codes published by the two most influential organizations for computer professionals: the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Association for Computing Machinery. I also selected a third code, from the National Society of Professional Engineers. A variety of other professional organizations have published computing codes, such as the Data Processing Management Association and the Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals [6], but I selected the NSPE code because it is still relevant to computing and contains some useful...

...Many Greek Societies, more commonly known as sororities and fraternities, have a bad reputation in the eyes of the public. This is due to the fact that social media primarily highlights the negative aspects of Greek Life, which are alcohol and substance abuse, and hazing. This is not what all sororities and fraternities are about; in fact, being in Greek Life can be very beneficial to an individual. Many successful people such as Charles Berger, the vice president of Apple Inc., eighteen U.S presidents including Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and George W. Bush, and many actors and singers have been involved in Greek Life. This demonstrates that not all students in Greek Life are your stereotypical frat guy or sorority...

...very obedient members of the Nazi society. If a government can control the educational system, it can most likely control society a lot more easily. However, some of the nationalistic views that many of the main Nazis had were brought to them during World War I in the classroom. Many classrooms celebrated the military aspect of war and they celebrated and taught nationalism for Germany. Classrooms did not really do that until the war. It was after the loss in World War I that the attitudes perpetuated by the enormous let down where teachers helped with the Nazi effort and taught the essentials to the Nazi party. Teachers did not do much to fight the Nazi effort and even though not all of them directly participated in the Holocaust, they did breed a nation of young extreme German nationalists whose ideals perpetuated the event. Extreme nationalism was a very popular topic for classrooms during and after World War I, which played a contribution to some of the main Nazis during the Nazi era. A large percentage of the Nazi base was born between 1900 and 1908 including Martin Bormann (born 1900), Rudolf Hoss (born 1900), Heinrich Himmler (born 1900), Ernst von Salomon (born 1902), Werner Best (born 1903), Reinhard Heydrich (born 1906), and Baldur Schirach (born 1907) were all men who went through the German school systems during and after World War I (Anson 337). The teachers during this time taught a nationalist bias that gave these students an unrealistic...

...some hate men, not all feminists do. Actually, according to Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner in The F-Word: Feminism in Jeopardy, feminism “simply means the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.” (Feminism, Oppoising Viewpoints, pg 14) We only ever hear of the negative associated with feminism. When anti-feminist people are asked questions, most don’t understand why they believe that feminism is wrong and extreme; they do not understand why it is so vitally important, and why, even in 2013, it is still a relevant issue. Although there's a lot of information about feminism out there, much of it is judgmental, misinformed, or quite simply false. Women should have equal rights as men, and taking a stand to achieve this ideal with feminism is what’s slowly accomplishing this goal. According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, feminism is “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities; organized activity in support of women's rights and interests.” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, pg 1) In an article by Rachel Fudge, published in 2005 she brings up a very valid point on the issue of feminism and the many years that is has been around: “Despite 150 years of activism in pursuit of women's rights, and nearly 40 years of modern feminism, "feminism" is still considered by many to be a dirty word. In the mainstream media, when feminism is discussed at all, it's most often talked about in negative or pessimistic terms: Time's "Is Feminism...

...defined as the small unit of society where students got their first learning about the world before they engage themselves in the real scenarios of life. It is believed that parents are the first advisers of their kids who will teach them everything about all aspects of life including education. Filipinos nurture the value of family and their importance to one’s life. Filipinos are well-known of having close family ties that love, respect, support and understand one another. An individual cannot achieve his or her goals without the necessary supports from the family. The family becomes the major inspiration of students to work hard and earn better grades so that one day they can help their family. Most of Filipino students believed that a perfect family can bring them hope, luck, success and a better life in the future. But if these things are not found in one student’s life, delay or halt and even absence of education might occur. There are many difficulties faced by students while they are studying such as financial constraints, drug addiction, suspension from school, involvement in different fraternities, attached in relationships, unwillingness to attend classes and many more. But one of the most crucial problems to be considered that disturb students from their education is having a broken family. There are many reasons why some families are experiencing this kind of problem but one thing is certain, it deeply affects the life of children or students. This kind of problem can...
