...myself as a pretty good writer when I am writing something I am interested in or intrigues me. Although it is not my favorite thing to do, when I get into what I am writing about I like to continue and prove my point. I think my strengths are having good points and proving them, and also having good transitions and having it flow really well. My weaknesses are probably that it takes me a while to gather my thoughts and put them on paper. Also I am never really into sitting down and having to write for long periods of time. What characterizes my writing I think is that I can get really into the topic and be able to prove it really well. When it is something I like and enjoy writing about I tend to get really emotional about it and I think that it shows in my writing. Also, I think I have great quotes and that I can explain them after and introduce them well. What I like best about my writing is that I can be a pretty good writer and get my point across without having to be super serious. I don’t like when peoples essays are really serious because it doesn't sound like it is coming from them and that it was copied from the internet. I think people should put their personality into it and I believe I do that really well. That is one of my favorite things about my writing because it can be hard to show who you are through your writing sometimes and it can come really easily to me. I think that my writing has changed over this semester. In the beginning I was really self conscious...

...SHOPPING BEHAVIOUR Shopping is really a very nice thing if I want to buy something for myself. Shopping is not always entertaining but if I want to buy something for myself of course shopping is good. I do shop or I do buy things from shopping malls for several different reasons. For example, I do buy my personal things, sometimes I buy households, Sometimes I I need to go in the shopping malls to buy gifts formal occasion or to buy something for closer one. I used to do window shopping with my friends, sometimes as well some personal things this is very simple. I do go in the shopping malls usually once or twice a month to buy my cloths, computer accessories, books or something whatever I need. If I need some medicines then I also go in the shopping malls to buy that. But basically I go in the shopping malls to buy different kind of cloths for myself or I go in the library to buy books. This is my patience to collect and buy more and more books. This is what I enjoy very much. But which is quite boring to me is buying the households. I need to go shopping malls sometimes to buy some household things. For examples – vegetables, bed sheets, different kind of stuffs like flower base, flower, meet, fish all there things for my house and utensils as well. So buying this things are quite mandatory for our house and most of the time I used to do the work for our family. But this is not really enjoying. This is what I do really because this is essential for our family. Another thing...

...is a really good one we have. One of the most important parts of it is that someone cannot be punished without the process of law. There are also some other parts that can benefit us all. Like the power to take personal property to benefit the public. In my paper I will give reason and evidence of why the Fifth Amendment is one of the best. First I will talk to you about not being punished without the process of law. This is a really good law, so someone who is innocent doesn’t get punished for something he didn’t do. This is not the case in other countries. There are a lot of countries that just punish people for no reason. People get killed and thrown in jail in other countries just because maybe someone in the government doesn’t like you. One case of this is in Russia when they had the Olympics there, something went wrong in the opening and the guy who directed it was found dead the next day. A lot of people think that was from the Russian government. That’s why that is a big part of our government. Third I will talk to you about not being forced to talk to the police when arrested. This is a good law because you can be forced to tell them what happened. This is good because you can talk to a lawyer first so you don’t accidentally say something that makes you look bad in the case. This...

...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 me could have been because of the was I was feeling the day I took the test, I could have been in a bad mood or something and I think that would have affected the way I answered some of the questions...

...Success. It's something everyone seems to want and many strive for. It causes many people to revolve their lives around it, striving and scrambling to get there. But what is it really? Many may wonder “Is it a point in life? A destination? A mindset? How do you get there?”. Truthfully, success looks different for different people but typically, success is about achieving something you want to achieve. To me, success is setting a goal, following it, and having positive growth occur. Success is about setting goals and following them, and having the right mindset to get to there through the journey; which is what really matters. We all have goals. Whether we know it or not, we have all wanted something that we wanted to achieve, whether it was...

...future society is considered a consumer society, but if you think about it our society mirrors that very closely. Consumerism started to grow in our country around the 1920s when big business was booming. In our society people always buy something newer than its previous model when it comes out; people also generally seem to consume more and more every day. Are we really happy with this kind of society, or are we digging ourselves deeper into a dark hole. This, honestly, could be affecting people in a bad way psychologically, even though many seem happy on the outside. It is the same thing in A Brave New World because they convince people to believe something is good or bad so they will buy a product or never touch it. In our society today people are affected by the mass production of consumer products. People shop day and night just to be able to show that they always have the newer stuff. Every time a new iPhone comes out people with perfectly good iPhones buy the new one just to buy it....

...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 fair that some people should be offended when there are people...

...therefore he used to say “If you ever do not know anything about knowledge and afterwards just forget it and let it go” so this is a sin. On the other hand the Sin in Confessions by Saint Augustine is a new attempt, he proposes as sin, things which makes you proud. Since both characters have their own thoughts on something, and this understanding makes them really different. For example they both say about sins however they understand different things as a sin. These most incredible Greek philosophers such as St. Augustine and Socrates with ambiguous ideas disputed about what the Sin is. Moreover they have different views on how to look to Sin with different directions. St. Augustine’s book which is called Confession is autobiographic since it was written according his life, and after reading the Confession we can deduce that what were his understandings about sin in his different life ages. Moreover we can find out, how a sinful life he had and how could overcome his sinful life. The main point is that, he continued doing sinful actions even being acknowledged about sin. He liked doing sinful things; he was getting a pleasure when he was doing something which...

...Positive Experience of Jack Finesse (Fictional) When you’re feeling good about something and that something is the something that made you feel good about yourself. That’s when start to have a better outlook on life. My really good experiences about life aren’t just one big experience, it’s happened multiple times. My first one I can remember is, going to a concert for the first time. The one good thing that has happened in my life is skateboarding. That 7-layered maple wood with pivot metal things and polyurethane wheels is the best thing in my life that’s happened to me. I’ve always played Tony Hawk games and was really good at them but never really got into it until I was 12. I found out one of my best elementary friends Jamie skateboarded. It was 7th grade and all I had was a wal-mart digimon board from when I was in 3rd grade and some Reeboks. I called Jaime over one day so he could teach me how to skate. He said; “I can teach you how to ollie”, which is a simple jump, he maneuvered the board and I said, “wow”. I was so amazed he could do it. After about a week and a half, I could do a pretty stable ollie, I thought I was so cool. After all that my mom bought me my very own pair of skate shoes, which were called Vans. I was becoming a skater more and more, it felt good. Every weekend I would go over Jaime’s house or he would come over mine. He taught me front side 180’s,over spring break. We skated three times in one day early in the morning for about an hour and a...

...senses, but what’s beyond those. What’s beyond this real world that we see here? Why does it work the way that it works? Why is it here? How did it get here? Those are some metaphysical areas that we deal with here. We can break metaphysics into four sub-categories here. The first sub-category is cosmological metaphysics, and this deals specifically with the origin and purpose of reality. Why does anything exist at all? That’s often been called the first philosophical question. Why does anything exist? Where did reality come from? How did it develop the way that it was? What is its purpose—why is it here? Those are all cosmological questions. A second area of metaphysics is theological metaphysics, and this deals with the reality of something beyond the natural reality that we experience: the existence of some sort of supernatural. Here it deals with questions, Does God exist? Is there only one God? What is the nature of God—what is he like? How does he relate to reality? Now often times in philosophy courses you’ll study this under the area of philosophy of religion, but they are actually metaphysical questions because they are dealing with the ‘existence’ of...

...Cheerleading is and very good sport, that has been around for a long time. Cheerleading started in the 1800s. (www.varsity.com,2016))A lot of the people who did cheerleading did it because they really enjoyed it and really took it serious.

Cheerleading roots are also closely tied to football. During this decade cheerleaders added tumbling, and, acrobatics to their routines (www.varsity.com,2016). “History of cheerleading to say” Cheerleading was really popular when it first came out back in the 1800s. The reason why cheering is so popular know because when it started it was at a university at a football game and the game was showed on television and it made it look pretty and it perfect and it eventually moved to high schools and then they made All Star Teams and cheer teams outside of school.

...Proof by David Auburn was actually a pretty good read. I found it a little difficult to read the play as it was written, though. This is the first play I’ve read that was just kind of written as a play. I had to go back and read a few parts over again when I got off track or forgot that something was mentioned, but reading plays isn’t so bad. I found it hard to get to know the characters too well. Because plays are all dialogue, I never really knew what was on their mind. Anyway, Proof is a play about a young woman who is the daughter of a brilliant mathematician. Her name is Catherine. He is kind of old and not all there in the head. Since he is a little crazy, he doesn’t do work with numbers anymore. He doesn’t really do much of anything except let Catherine take care of him. A few scenes go by, and Catherine’s father is now dead. I caught on to the fact that Catherine is very good with numbers like her father, but I feel like she is hiding it, perhaps because she doesn’t want to be like him. Enter Hal, a quirky nerd taught by Robert (Catherine’s insane father) in the past. He is desperate to find something to prove Robert was sane and still the genius he once knew. He does! He finds a notebook with calculations that could only be done by a genius. Catherine claims it as her own, and no one believes her. Both Hal and her sister completely doubt that she could do those kinds of calculations. She is upset that they don’t believe her. So in the end she has to prove that the...
