Journal #3- “An Eastern Approach to Problem Solving.”

Just like most people when struggling with a problem my first instinct is to step away from the problem.

Something that will get my mind on different things besides the problem I am struggling with. I become stressed, anxious, and sometimes I can get mad when I am not able to work things out.

    Quincy High School Admission Essay

    A messy bedroom, Arctic Monkeys as background music, and an adolescent begrudgingly writing an essay for their twelfth grade English class is the current scene. This is the perspective of a senior; an absolutely glamorous time in life. It's an alarming thought that my high school career has brought me to this point as I search my mind for the correct words to advise you and my fingers tap away at my small keyboard. I'm supposed to give advice and guidance to the future graduates of our beloved Quincy High School, but there's little I can give that can be completely relatable to all. For example, I was raised by a single father, am a part-time cashier, and can barely figure out how the Pythagorean theorem will actually affect my adult life.…

    North And South Essay

    After the United States declared their independence, it began to divide into two, and later three, main sections: the North, the South, and in the late 1800’s, the West. The North and South had several differences between them, which created significant tension, leading up to the Civil War of 1861-1865.

The South was more agricultural, and seen as more of an agrarian society. Some disagreements were political, while others were geographic and economical.…

    Eastern Vs Western Absolutism Essay

    Absolutism was a political theory created by the following individuals; Jean Bodin, Thomas Hobbes (somewhat), and Bishop Bossuet. The era of absolutism was a time, 16th to 18th centuries, when monarchs ruled with all power to themselves in most countries, especially in France. Absolutism was favored among monarchs because it gave them complete power over their country and did not have to answer to anyone but themselves.

    Under The Western Eyes Analysis

    Chandra Mohanty, writer of “Under the Western Eyes,” tries to challenge the traditional “Western feminist” discourse on women in the third world.

She claims that women in the third world are portrayed as sharing a homogeneous oppression. Instead, she asks Western feminists to take into account the complex interaction between social, economic, class, religion, culture, etc. frameworks before describing women in the third world. Mohanty states that ignoring these frameworks creates the false assumption of women in the third world as an always…
