...In his letter to the narrator, Sensei exhibits his indecisive nature when saying, “I am an inconsistent creature. Perhaps it is the pressure of my past, and not my own perverse mind, that has made me into this contradictory being. I am all too well aware of this fault in myself. You must forgive me” (Soseki 122). By describing himself an “inconsistent creature,” Sensei is illustrating that he cannot be classified as a representation of neither old nor new customs. Rather, he is representative of a generation that is torn between inevitable modernity and formal tradition, much like the spirit of the Meiji era itself. The narrator’s feelings towards his relationship with Sensei...

...the constant struggle between personal morality and the selfish aspects of human nature through the life experiences of Sensei, who suffered from sense of guilt and loneliness. “The spirit of Meiji Era” was probably the best footnote for “Kokoro”, as it suggested a free, open and independent mental state that people could pursue happiness at their own will. However, this kind of spirit, Natsume argued in his speech of “My Individualism”, would undermine people’s mental wellness if they did not form the concept of egotism and the conscience for their behaviors. Three negative effects brought by the spirit of Meiji era were: loss of one’s ego, breakdown of personal moral system, and feeling of isolation and loneliness. These backgrounds gave us a better understanding for the tragic fate of the protagonists in “Kokoro”, as well as the formation of Natsume’s ”Individualism”. First, the loss of one’s “self” was a common problem existed in Meiji period. Complete westernization and parochial nationalism let people doubt their traditions and abandon the old learning. Sensei and K both had to face the conflicts between their aspirations and the judgments of society. Though they both had affection for Ojosan, they resort to different actions. K, carrying the traditional merits in mind, had suppressed himself because of his friendship with Sensei. Nevertheless, Sensei chose to follow his own heart and sacrificed K. The one being betrayed lost his faith in “the true way” and took his own...

...Religions of the world Zen Buddhism Meditation Practice of selfless living, relaxation and controling the mind are some of the caracteristics that describe Zen. When you translate Zen it means meditation and it can't be explained, but it can be found by people through their practice. Many people all over the world use Zen Buddhism meditation for relaxation and clearing their minds from the daily responsibilities. I visited a group of people who were performing Zen Buddhism meditation. It was held in the private house of the Sensei Joan who gladly and with open doors is inviting people to join their group and to find the place in themselves where is peace, freedom and happiness. Sunday morning I went to the Sensei Joan house where the group had their usual meetings for meditation. First thing I did before I enter in the house I took off my shoes and I was asked to go in the instruction room together with the new people who were their first time meditating. Instructor told us how to sit because proper sitting improves meditation. We need to be well grounded and to make sure that our blood flows smoothly and evenly to prevent tiredness, creeping in and muscles aching. We used the kneeling position while sitting on a cushion and our hand stay free in our lap one over the other. The aim is to remain still, not rigid, but solid and steady. Other thing becides the right sitting was the breathing. While we meditate the instructor advised us to count...

...you? I first heard the word integrity after beginning martial arts training. Integrity is one of the tenants of Tae Kwon Do. My sensei explained to us that a martial artist is a person of integrity and it is important that you live a life of integrity. I began to know the meaning of integrity as simply being honest and to never lie. As I grew older the word integrity began to have more meaning. Integrity isn't something you just do; a person's integrity defines their character. Integrity is very difficult to earn but very easy to lose. My sensei explained integrity like this, "look at the white of your karate uniform." He explained. "The white represents your integrity to me. As of this moment I trust all of you, but as soon as you violate your integrity and my trust, it is like getting mustard sprayed on the white of your uniform. Every time you walk into a room your white uniform shows the mustard stains and it reflects on your character. As you begin to show integrity it is like washing your uniform, however not all of the mustard stains will come off. People will still remember the time you let them down and didn't show integrity." As my instructor said in one instance of lack of integrity could seriously damage your relations with other people and their view of your character forever. Integrity is your moral compass, and is the willingness to do the right thing even when no one else is looking. As a person of integrity, if i say that I'm going to do something, then I will...

...Say you walk into a department store to get a new pair of jeans. You walk over to the first table and grab the first nice pair. Of course they do fit. Then you make your way to the cashier. While waiting in line you turn around to see that not just one but four other people behind you that have the same pair of jeans. I ask you this, what is wrong with this picture? Here is what wrong. Not one of them including you in this scenario is being individual. We have all been at fault to this. We have all conformed to what society wants us to be. We buy things so we can go out and look just like each other and fit in with the mold. But this wrong we need to break through this Jell-O we have around us and be come an individual. Everyone was I see it should be one. Should be what they want to be. To feel, and think and act as the way they want to. With TV, music, and movies this day and age is full of people acting the same, dressing the same and being the same. We look at them as that how we should be, how we will fit in. And so groups are then based on how you dress, look and act. People are never grouped by themselves, labeled as they are. Instead they are labeled as them and us. The labels that people use these days to define someone are Preps, Jocks, Goths, Freaks, the list continues. We as people judge others as well as ourselves. We believe that we are not good enough, strong enough, or smart enough to do anything. That we lack something and that makes us less than others...

...RDG099 Prof. Mitchell Lucy Bergin Karate “Karate aims to build character, improve human behavior, and cultivate modesty; it does not however, guarantee it.” — Yasuhiro Konishi When I started karate, it was like I found my inner Mr Miagi. I felt like I was supposed to do it, and that it was made for me. Even though I just recently started, I have learned so much and have gained a lot of knowledge. Karate is unique because it does not only exercise the body, bur promotes health to the mind and soul. Karate teaches the athlete self-defense, and great reflexes. The student does not have to be psychically fit in order to join, and is able to work at ones own pace. Karate teaches self confidence, team work, self-esteem, and morals. In this world, self defense is unfortunately a skill we need to learn. Karate teaches how to defend yourself, while also teaching how to be calm in a stressful situation. Self-control can help in social situations, and it helps with self confidence. Many sports are just comprised of practices and games. Karate teaches in levels, making the student constantly become involved. This helps keep students off the streets and away from drugs and violence. It also helps the student become more aware of their surroundings and the people around them. Karate isn’t just about being able to take someone down, though that is an important part. Its about learning respect and knowing when to use your knowledge for good instead of bad. There is more than one person...

...| Nissan Motor Company | Revival Plan Review | | ) | | In 1987 Japan’s economic expansion was driven by the inflation of stock prices and real estate values. As consumer confidence increased, so did the population’s appetite for luxury goods. In response to this national trend in consumer spending, Nissan Motor Company (Nissan) launched an aggressive expansion plan to meet the demands of the marketplace. The organization invested heavily in new manufacturing facilities and upgraded their distribution network. Nissan’s debt grew from $11.8B to $32.7B. Japan’s bubble economy collapsed in the early 1990s and Nissan’s profits deteriorated in parallel (Wiki – 2011). In response to a dire operating situation, Nissan formed a partnership with Renault in 1999. While the injection of capital was much needed by the Japanese car manufacturer, the most important asset exchanged in the strategic alliance turned out to be Carlos Ghosn, the Renault Executive Vice President appointed to turn around Nissan. The following analysis focuses on Carlos Ghosn’s leadership and the Nissan Revival Plan (NRP). The NRP saved Nissan and its roots seem to have originated from the Lean Action Plan framework. Get Started (First Six Months) Find a change agent (Score - 5 of 5) The Lean Thinking textbook places a considerable amount of emphasis on starting the Lean Leap. While it may seem basic in nature, kicking off the process is not easy, and it requires an organization to have an executive...

...Unit2WebExploration I. Topic/Explanation From the reading assignment this week I chose stress management to learn about. (page5) The main reason for me choosing this topic is over the last few weeks I have been under a lot of stress and I am starting to notice that my body is getting worn out. I realize that stress is part of everyone’s life with work, personal obligations so for me at this time I felt that doing some research on this topic could help me learn new ways to deal with the everyday stress in my life. With the reading assignment this week I learned that stress can cause your body’s to become sick more easily which in some cases could even cause death. At this time I feel that I have way too many people depending on me to become sick due to the stress in my life so it is something that I need to try and get a grip on it now. II.

...would be a special-effects laden action fest. It may not tick any highbrow cultural boxes, but it delivers an excitingly daft bit of entertainment - frenetic and full of fun. The basic storyline is still pretty much the same as the original but for a few modern tweaks. Megan Fox is pitted as, April O’Neil, a frustrated TV news reporter who wants to land a big story to make her cameraman Vern (Will Arnett) and equally her boss Bernadette (Whoopi Goldberg) eat their own words. While she witnesses an attempted Foot Clan attack in a subway station, she discovers the existence of the four half-shelled heroes and realises her connection to them via her late researcher father’s experiments. When Splinter, (Danny Woodburn) the turtle’s father/Sensei finds out about the meeting between them, he demands that April be brought to him for her safety. He explains to her about her fathers shady ex-partner Eric Sacks (William Fichtner) and how he has been helping Shredder (Tohoru Masamune) and the foot clan. From that moment on, the film kicks into overdrive as Shredder attacks and capture’s three of the turtle’s....

...My Prediction for Season 2 flash story line includes Futures end influences and a Wally West Flash! Here is how I have come to that conclusion and then some. In Tuesday night's episode of The Flash during the body snatcher scene Eobard says to Harrison; "In the year twenty twenty (five years from now) you and your wife Tes Morgan successfully launch a particle accelerator that changes the course of history". Eobard accelerated that timeline, to the year 2015 (technically 2014, and they should have had the line read 2019). Five years from now, the DC Comic Universe plot line for Futures End is as follows: "Reeling from a war with Another Earth, leaving the world unprepared for an approaching evil that threatens to destroy the future can a time traveling Batman (beyond)." Now simply begin to replace batman with "Can a time-traveling Barry Allen, help a massive cast of the DCU’s finest avert the impending apocalypse caused by the changes to the timeline Eobard Thawn the Reverse Flash set in motion after the eventual survival of Barry's mother? That means season two should be getting heavy doses of influence from the Futures End storyline. For the new as-yet-unnamed show, they are casting characters like HawkGirl, so this gives some credibility to a "massive cast" I digress, now since Harrison wells and Tess Morgan will be the cause of the S.T.A.R. labs explosion in 2020, we should see some new superheroes from older cast members, like Cisco becoming Vibe and Mrs. Katlin snow becoming...

...a hand through his messy hair, watching the children and taking cautious glances down the hallways parallel their current location. Behind him, another teacher nervously chewed her lower lip, smiling half-heartedly at the toddler she had been paired with when the girl happily swung their clasped hands back and forth. Noticing her anxiety, the teacher took a moment from his position on guard to give her a nod that was meant to be reassuring. Despite the lack of worry visible on his face, his hands tightened on his own shoes. He hoped the other students were safe. ~ "Aominecchi~! It was so intense this morning, but I finally have my pilot's license! Of course, I misread the altimeter again," there was a quiet huff, and the officer could just see his former teammate's effeminate pout, "but my instructor said that she was so impressed with how 'calm and collected' I was the whole time, even when…" Aomine Daiki reclined lazily in his chair, stretching out his back and legs like a cat settling in for a pleasant nap,...

...As I clambered up the stairs of the Frederick Douglass Christian School, my arms overflowed with pool noodles, white belts, and boxing gloves. My nerves were electric, jolting my heart into hard, irregular beats. I entered the seemingly ancient building and hurried to the room where I knew the children awaited my arrival. At this point in my life, I was 14 years old and a first-degree black belt. Martial arts have been an obsession of mine since my first exposure at only five years old. I grew up at the dojo; my Kyoshi, the head of the school, was like a second father, and my Sensei was like an uncle. Throughout the amazing years I spent there, I forged discipline, a wise sense of leadership, and everlasting friendships. The hard workouts and private lessons taught me to defend myself in dangerous situations, giving me a special confidence that is rare among adolescents....
