Summary Of The First Tuesday We Talk About The World

Improved Essays
The First Tuesday- We Talk about the World- In this chapter, Morrie talks to Mitch about creating one’s own culture and love. Which confuses Mitch because how does one create their own culture without being selfish or self centered? This leads Mitch to understand that in order to create his own culture he first needs to make love the center of his being.
I think this should have been the last chapter because the topic of creating your own culture and love are all we want in life. This chapter is extremely power because in order to create your own culture you first have to know and understand yourself. And many people don’t know themselves because they can’t look in the mirror and reflect. A lot of people have a hard time understanding themselves

    In the beginning of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “In the realm of the purely personal - after food, water, and shelter - the quality of relationships most often determines the quality of life” (p. 3). I believe this statement perfectly sums up how vital and necessary human relationships are for human life, and the strong impact they play on having a positive and meaningful life. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 1 - 12. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships. In order to have a purposeful life and a greater understanding of relationships, there are many crucial concepts that must be understood, three of them are differentiation of self, thinking systems, and the relationship pattern of cutoff.…

    Once I was finished reading essays from NPR’s series “This I Believe” I found that the essay “Tomorrow will be a better day” by Josh Rittenberg to be extremely entertaining whereas some other essays lacked the ability to keep me interested. It managed to maintain my interest while still showing to be a great essay to read and analyze. The reason that I believe this is due to the fact that it does well when it comes to the point of grabbing attention with word choice, the way Rittenberg keeps readers focused, and his ability to paint a detailed picture for the reader. Rittenberg does extremely well keeping the reader focused and interest by the words he chooses like instead of energy shortage he uses “devastating energy crisis” or instead of…
