When I start writing to you, a myriad of thoughts and ideas linger in my mind. There is an atmosphere of anticipation around Peperdine University. Fully expecting, I welcome both the newly-met people, and the forthcoming university life.
My vision of cosmopolitanism was expanded after traveling around the world. I come from China, yet from California too. Three-year independent living experience abroad affirmed my independence. With a knowledge-desired attitude, good self-care and strong morality, I believe I’ll be a good roommate for you.
I’ve been imagining how our daily life would be. I remember my old roommate who liked to get up late; I worried about her health because she was too busy to have her breakfast. At that time, as her friend,

    Analysis Of Tom Nichols's 'The Death Of Expertise'

    Nichols paints the recruitment process as a frivolous experience meant to cater to a student’s every need. Nichols claims “Colleges now are marketed like multiyear vacation packages, rather a contract with an institution and its faculty for a course of educational study.” (72). This is unsound inductive reasoning on Nichols part. He does not offer sufficient evidence other than his own word or a few sporadic campus activities, very exclusive to the individual universities.…

    Poor Richard's Almanack

    “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” This famous quote came from the great man of Benjamin Franklin. This was one of many points he makes in “Poor Richard’s Almanack”. Through his life, he strived to be the best person that he could be. One of which ways was by going through a complete process of self improvement.…

    Curse Of Columbus Essay

    Living in Columbus can be a blessing and a curse for Tyler. It’s a blessing because it’s all he’s ever known. Which, isn’t technically true since he’d been to other states and Ohio’s various surrounding cities. But, it’s a curse because he isn’t able to escape it. His wings have been clipped from the day his family decided to move out without any notification, and sell the house to family far richer than Tyler.…

    Paul Quinn Narrative

    Today, June 18th, 2017, marks the last day of my first week of college at Paul Quinn College and I am proud to say, “I survived”. Committing to Paul Quinn was a really big decision for me because this school is a 17 hour drive away from my home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I was afraid that I might get homesick or that I would not have the support of my family because I would be so far away from home. Soon, after visiting the Dallas campus, I realized that Paul Quinn was the school for me. This is the school where I will grow as an individual and I have come to that realization in my first week of college through the many conversations with upperclassmen, faculty, alumni and summer bridge students.…

    Amish Arguments Against Anabaptism

    Adults rising early, dressing in fancy business attire and uniforms running from room to room, wake the children, pack the lunches, make the usual coffee and smoothie breakfast from the latest kitchen gadgets, start the car, check the gas, and prepare for the busy day ahead. School children awaiting their scheduled bus arrivals while glancing at cell phones or listening to loud music through ear phones while cars rush by, each with their own specific destinations and goals set for the day. Cell phones ring with newsfeed updates, alarms, and calls from relatives that haven’t been seen or heard from in months. Occasionally, when I need to clear my head from the days that seem to rush away on me, I regather myself by hopping in the truck and setting…

    Analysis Of Cosmopolitanism: African Diaspora

    Since the construction of race and stratification among peoples, there has been a prevalent notion of collectivism within the many different ethnic groups of the world. More so than others, there is an ongoing emphasis on collective responsibility among people of the African Diaspora. Collective responsibility embodies the ideal that each human being on the planet is the responsibility of another. In philosophy, the representation of this ideal is most commonly associated with the philosophical tradition known as Cosmopolitanism. Since its inception, philosophers have established varying ideas of what Cosmopolitanism is, and how it is applicable to real-world situations.…

    Chipotle Bowl Thesis

    I am searching for a campus of brash, tenacious peers who will not set down their sole burrito bowls in defeat, but peers who will eat two, three—as many as humanly possible in the name of Chipotle—and challenge me as well! These are not students who listlessly prod at the same meal every day. Instead, they toss in unthinkable ingredients to create a fresh, unique twist, savoring each tiny bite of their education. Determination, persistence, innovation—these are all values I wish to contribute to UChicago’s student body. To immerse one’s self in intellectual vitality and pursue the “life of the mind” is similar to appreciating Chipotle for its magnanimous beauty…to learn, to enlighten rather than to capitalize is a unique tenet of UChicago that I can find nowhere else.…

    Cosmopolitanism In Things Fall Apart

    Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe tells the story of the struggle between a split African tribe, the nobleman and the outcast. As the title implies the struggle only goes downhill. In one chapter the church members struggle to accept the outcast, the osu. When one applies Kwame Anthony Appiah’s idea of conversations between cultures in the Cosmopolitanism to the Umuofia people joining the culture of the Church in Things Fall apart, the converts would be more accepting. However, the congregation should have been more cosmopolitan if in fact they had listen to missionary Mr. Kiaga, who argued the osu could join.…

    As my alarm goes on I slowly wake up thinking about the day that is ahead me, how different is from my roommate, the boy that lives next to me, and even my best friend in Mexico city, I might not do anything excited but is something defilingly different from anyone at UNH. This is a normal day in UNH in the life of a 20 year old Mexican woman. I stand up ready to do my make up, and choose what close Im gonna wear, that is the first thing I do.

However, my parents always warn me about dating and how education comes first before boyfriend. Also, they told me, “Boyfriends are everywhere; you will meet plenty of them one day.” In February, I did something forgettable and hurtful, I went behind my parents back dating and skipping school.…

    Cosmopolitanism And Globalization

    Abstract Cosmopolitanism gives the idea of a ‘world citizenship” or citizens of the world where people are usually viewed as belonging to all parts of the world not just one country. Ribeiro (2005, 19) discusses the idea of cosmopolitanism as a western notion that showing the need social agents have to consider political and cultural entity. This entity is described as larger than their own homeland, which would comprise of every individual a global scale (Ribeiro 2005, 19). Cosmopolitanism is usually associated with culture and identity and promotes the idea that an individual should not be limited by a national ideas or attachments.

    Soft, a hint of cold with every twist and turn, stretches to free the arms and legs from the aggressive sheets. The best place anyone can ever be, asleep on a cozy cloud. Millions of thoughts going through my mind, I was about to make a great discovery when my six o’clock alarm had to ruin the moment.

    First Year Experience Analysis

    Saint Peter’s University is my home. Through the relationships I’ve losted and gained, the knowledge I’ve absorbed and events I’ve experienced, I can truly say that college is a handful of joy and pain. Last year, as an incoming freshman, the fear of being in college was stronger than my excitement. I was terrified and coming from my background: 1st generation college student with a single mother of four and barely any money to our family, I felt the pressure. Sabin was my O-Team Leader during my summer orientation and I will never forget his suave demeanour.…
