There are various venues that human beings can consider as having a life of fulfillment. For some individuals, fulfillment could include a career, family life, seeking more advanced knowledge and education, traveling, etc.; the possibilities are endless. For me personally, a life of fulfillment is to find and cultivate an entity one has a passion for and to aid others the best way possible. The components needed to have a life of fulfillment include an initiative, “drive” to pursue one’s passion and leadership, being able to build and develop one’s character productively, and learn and reflect from one’s experiences to become better individual overall.

I believe that the university’s model is a fine example of what life fulfillment actually is: being a person for others. Personally, I know that I fit this model of what Xavier deems as a person for others. Through the education that Xavier has provided for me throughout my four years, I have become driven to pursue my future goals. Being involved in student activities, becoming president in one of these clubs, accumulating experience of my desired field has developed my leadership skills which will be needed when working in the corporate world. Interacting and making lasting relationships with my professors and peers, I have developed new characteristics that I did not know I had the will to do.

I would create a hypothesis such as “The extermination of the stop and frisk method will reduce more violence than having the tactic practiced.” The predictor (the cause) variable will be the stopping of the stop and frisk tactic and my criterion (outcome) variable will be the likelihood of violence. If I was able to conduct my study before the lawsuit in 2008, I would want to conduct two studies: one before the lawsuit and the one after the lawsuit. I would create surveys using data from peer reviewed literature discussing violence in lower economic areas, police brutality, the psychology behind the stop and frisk, conjuring questions and a Likert scales for ratings. There will be questions about the safety of the person’s neighborhood, if they have seen a decrease or increase in violence, did the police stop and frisk anyone in their immediate family, are they fond of the tactic, etc. These questions are important to include because with many young men of color being frisked and in jail, the jailing of these young men are causing more tension between the police and the communities. Addressing these questions will bring insight into the community’s views on police and what needs to done about their relationship with
