tried to answer of what the meaning of life is, or if there is even meaning, but eventually gave up on it because too many factors are implied in answering such a question. In his article, The Meanings of the Questions of Life, John Wisdom challenges the question by presenting some of the factors that might lead some people to think that it is pointless to ask what the meaning of life is before presenting his own opinion that states that asking the question itself is not pointless, but there that might not be a definitive answer to it. Wisdom starts by arguing that some people think that asking this question is pointless because there are endless questions that one can ask, even if they have an answer, illustrating it in the form of a story: “There is an old story which runs something…

To him the American dream meant, having food on the table every day and helping his family in every need they had to survive in this country. His answer stood out to me the most because of how he had said it. He was born in raised in Mexico, and he has told me much of his life struggles. Of course there is a big age difference between us which means there are a lot of things I have in my life that never existed in his time. My answer has to do with things for myself and for my future…

Tablets/computers have an enormous network that has the answer to any question an individual may have. Having a tablet/computer will help expand the knowledge on subjects to students and/or teachers. One example is students will be able to put more in depth research into…

As this research will analyze texting through the survey, different questions will observe both the frequency of texting between two partners as well as the content of these text messages. Close-ended questions will be used in order to easily compute the information gained from this survey and because they will be the most effective to…

After a few do-overs, I finally found a way to interact with the patient, which allowed me to ask the questions required to get the information for the 24 hour recall.

As noted by Brenda, my main strength was having the ability to build rapport with the patient in addition to being open, friendly and thorough. One of the areas…
