...“Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten.” This quote was Robert Fulghum in his All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. What could the quote mean? Maybe, it means that the simple that we learned as children can be used in everyday life. Some of the things that we learned could change their meanings as we get older. The lessons that might change the most could be: “clean up your own mess,” “hold hands and stick together,” “play some and work some every day.” “Clean up your own mess.” This seems very basic, just pick up after yourself. Can this be taken further than just that? Yes, what this quote is also saying is if you make a “mess” then you have...

...Interdependence of the SPEAKING components 1. The relationship between S and other components The relationship between S and P The large factory allow the accommodation of great number of audience and cadidates. The relationship between S and E The informality contributes to jokes made by MCs for entertainment. Thus, it fulfills the purpose of the audience to kill time by watching the show. The relationship between S and A Subject to the low formality, the order of certain parts of speech acts is not fixed. For example, the sequence of talent show, swimsuit show and question and answer session can be arranged randomly. Moreover, the low formality leads to the fact that not all sessions of show are compulsory to the entirety of this TV program. For example, the session of resurrection of candidates appears only in several years. However, overall speaking, this event somewhat follows a logical order. It starts with lower order actions and ends with higher order actions. By starting with the introduction of candidates which is followed by shows, voting and finally prize presentation, it allows audience to have a brief understanding of the candidates at the beginning of the show. In terms of the setting of the event, since the area outside the factory is spacious, its allows the placement of red carpet so that candidates can walk through it to enter the stage at the beginning of the contest. The relationship between S and K The event is relatively informal and playful...

...Find That Elusive Balance Between Work and Life “Balance is beautiful.” - Miyoko Ohno, Japanese bridge designer Article by Leo Babauta I have a close friend named Norm who is a great photographer and a great person in general … recently he was telling me that all he does is work. That might sound familiar to some of you — I’ve certainly been there at different points in my life, although these days I have to say that I’ve found a pretty good balance between all the important things in my life, including work, family, and other things I’m interested in. Norm asked me to write a post about work-life balance, because although I think Norm is pretty happy with his life, he’s interested in expanding his life beyond work. I think it’s an interesting question that most of us have to address at some point or other. Work *Is* Life, To Some Extent The first thing to point out is that work isn’t separate from life — it’s a part of it. For some people, it’s not a fun part of life, but for others, it’s a passion. Either way, it’s a part of our lives, good or bad. Of course, when people talk about a work-life balance, they mean that we should find a balance between work and our personal lives, which is definitely true. But it’s important to realize that if work is really something you love, you don’t need to cut it short in order to spend more time at home in front of the television. So the key is to remember that what we’re looking for is a balance between the things we love — not...

...male from Afghanistan who needs to find his way in the world as he realises that his own belief system is not that of his dominant culture. It is the story of both fathers and sons; and friends and brothers. Through this journey of Amir’s, Khaled Hosseini’s depicts right and wrong and the nature of evil. The relationship between Amir and his ‘best friend’ Hassan was saddening. Not only is Hassan Amir’s best friend, he is also Amir’s servant and a member of the discriminated ethnic minority. I was saddened because although they were very close, Amir never wanted to be associated with Hassan in public. Often, people would tease Amir for being with Hassan, saying things like, “Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan. They dirty our blood.” Therefore, Amir would always avoid being seen in public with Hassan. In my mind, this poses the question of whether love for a friend should outweigh the divisions of class and ethnicity. Or are these divisions too far-reaching? In any right mind, love for a friend should outweigh the divisions of class and ethnicity because, who cares as to what blood or skin colour they are? How can you call yourself their best friend if you do not want to be seen with them in public? I found that often Amir wouldn’t even stand up for Hassan. Hassan was the one always standing up for Amir, and Amir was only concerned...

...A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed The proverb stands as a touchstone of true friendship. It states that only that person who helps us when we are in need or difficulty is a true friend. In our daily life we come across people who over a period of time become close to us. But we cannot be sure if they are true friends or just fair-weather friends. Many people develop contacts with influential people for their benefit. It will be a great mistake if one considers these apparently close people as friends. The test of true friendship is in time of difficulties.On the other hand, the fair-weather friends disappear in times of trails. They find excuses to distance themselves from us. But a true friend will always stick to a person when if that person is in deep trouble. He will be concerned about the welfare of a person when he considers as a friend. If need be, he will make every effort to help his friend overcome the difficult situation, instead of running away from him. As the saying goes, ‘prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them’. Take for example the friendship of Antonio and Bassanio in the Shakespearean play ‘The Merchant of Venice’. Antonio helps Bassanio even at the cost of losing his life- a pound of flesh. The Epics of India showcase timeless illustrations of true friendship. In the Ramayana, it is between Rama and Sugreva. In the Mahabharata, it is between Krishna and Kuchela; between Duryodhana and Karna. Such friendship stands the test of time. Such...

...Social Classes The Book that i'm doing is called The Outsiders which was written by S.E.Hinton and publisher The Viking Press in 1967.The genre of the book drama and crime and it's a coming of age book so the targeted audience is teenagers but anyone can relate to the book.The book has won 5 awards and it has been classified as a best seller.The story takes place in the 1960s with many diverse characters that makes it a very interesting book. The Theme in the book is about ,acceptance,innocence,and friendship and loyalty.I think the most important is friendship and loyalty because the characters face many challenges from their enemies and must stick together.The characters are poor and often beat up and bullied by the richer kids but by them sticking together throughout the novel but it is a tragic ending but the events that happens at the end of the novel the group of boys are redeemed for what they have done or did. The title and the theme of acceptance are connected because if the rich and the poor would have accepted each other regardless of their economic background and social classes the tragedies wouldn't have happened.Acceptance is the act of accepting someone or something but the characters...

...I think a major theme in The Outsiders is, “Loyalty is what keeps friendships together.” This theme is important because it keeps going throughout the whole book and all of the characters are affected by loyalty. The first reason why loyalty is a major theme is whenever the Socs and the greasers fight they always stay loyal to their sides and do not give up on eachother because they know that at the end of the day having each other is all they got. A quote from the book that shows this, “...there are just small bunches of friends who stick together, and the warfare is between the social classes” (Hinton 11). This quote means that the greasers and the Socs are just groups of friends who stay loyal to each other and always stick together no matter what....

...should one’s confidence in his beliefs be affected when one learns that others, who seem as well-qualified as you are, hold beliefs contrary to yours? It is important to note that in this article, the disagreements I will be discussing will only focus on “epistemic peers.” Epistemic peers are people who share the same knowledge, intellectual capacity and rationality. For example, Jason and Adam, two seniors in high school who grew up in the same town, took similar classes and received similar grades, would be considered epistemic peers. On the other hand, Jason and Albert Einstein would not be considered epistemic peers. In this case, Einstein would most likely be epistemically superior to the student. Scenario Imagine you and your best friend, Sarah, are epistemic peers. You are both highly qualified doctors working at the UVA Hospital Medical Center. Patient X has just been checked in who has complaints about chest and abdominal pain, as well as a high fever. You and Sarah decide to make a diagnosis for Patient X. You are both provided with the same evidence. In addition, you both thoroughly read through his medical records and refer to the same medical books in order to make your decision. The problem is, you both have come to different conclusions. Sarah believes XXXXXX, while you believe SSSSSSSS. So the main question, when epistemic peers are provided with the same evidence disagree, how should you react to this situation? In the following article, I am going to present...

...these elements help tell the tale of betrayal and redemption. In the first few chapters, Amir’s cowardice leads directly to the betrayal of Hassan. When is forced to stick up for the both of them, the cost is much higher then if Amir would of stuck up for both of them, leading to the rape of Hassan. Amir could of said something to Assef, telling him to leave them be, as Amir is pashtan and pashtans are a higher majority in Afghanistan, instead, Hassan being Hazara, the leading minority in their country, which are treated as servents and slaves, is forced to take action. Assef’s racism towards Hazaras is compared to Hitler and the jewish, showing immediately how his hate towards hassan is much greater then his hate towards Amir. When Hassan sticks up for them, the cost is much higher because of his racial minority. “Assef gritted his teeth “Put it down you motherless Hazara” (Hosseini 45) Amir’s cowardice is shown through fear as he thinks about his relationship with Hassan, thoughts of betrayal ponder his mind even before the rape. “But he’s not my friend! I almost blurted, He’s my servent!” (Hosseini 44) As Amir thinks of future encounters, He also fears for his safty, and Hassans, because he knows that Hassan will not always be able to save them with his slingshot. “Certin that Assef and his friends would ambush us every time we turned a corner.” (hosseini 46) Through guilt, Amir begins his betryal. After Hassan’ s rape, Amirs guilt is too much and he begins to fight...
