Appreciation

that the “Poor Kids” documentary was tough to watch. Seeing the different types of impoverished living situations that people in the documentary were in was both humbling and frustrating. It was humbling in the sense that it gave me a far greater appreciation for the basic amenities and gifts that I was afforded during my childhood. I never even came remotely close to having my family struggle to survive, and for that I’m forever grateful. The documentary is especially frustrating because its…

The Middle Ages had been a time period following the fall of the Roman Empire, and a dark and “barbarous” age according to many humanists in the Renaissance Era. The Middle Age began without any idea of the education, politics, and intellectual of the Greeks and Romans. Some people in the Renaissance Era believed this era to be a “awakening” from the Middle Ages, and a complete revival of the Greek and Roman lifestyle. Politically, humanists replaced religion from politics, and justified their…

concept is not simply black and white, it cannot always be categorized by three factors as outlined by Kymlicka. In general, Baron’s work is quite interesting as it challenges the popular view of multiculturalism. His arguments clearly convey an appreciation for pluralism – one in which proves that a single sovereign liberal state is not realistic. As Colin Powell stated in response to the suggestion that Obama was Muslim and that this could jeopardize his commitment to the State – what does it…

animals were the most common ways people sustained their way of life. Even though the Native Americans were suffering from an insufficiency of farming capability, their abilities to adapt to their environment was good and gave them a greater sense of appreciation for their bountiful land. Natives were one of the populations who lived more naturally. They used trees and rocks to produce items like canoes, weapons and build houses. Also, there were not many domesticated animals in the Americas but…

simple approach for modern society to accept. Because Buddhism has evolved in recent years, it has attempted to preserve its traditions and practices while at the same time trying to adapt to the modern social and cultural changes, such as globalization, colonization, and technology. These changes have impacted the devotion, discipline, and tradition of ritual practices and traditions of the Buddhist religion. Buddhism has provided the world with an understanding and solution for human suffering…

As teachers, we have the opportunity to serve as a tool of increasing interest in education and decreasing the achievement gap between students of various cultures. Our duties go beyond teaching content and including social, emotional, and cultural aspects of our students live. The responsibility of every teacher is to engage and challenge students of every culture. We also must identify and acknowledge the value of students’ differences, as well as, our own perspectives. Important steps for an…

Discoveries can be self-driven initiatives, or thrust upon us through unwitting circumstances, compelling us to examine core beliefs about ourselves and ultimately renewing our perceptions of the world around us (epistemological). Ang Lee’s film Life of Pi (2012) is not merely a triumphant masterpiece of cinematic diversity but a fantastical trajectory of the human soul from a position of spiritual and emotional disorientation (theological) and into a habitat of inner clarity and gratification,…

With this story being a biography of the life of John Adams, I expected it to focus on his life and to show signs of appreciation for the contributions in which he was involved in with the United States. Overall, the thesis of this paper made sense to me. The life of John Adams was an important story in United States history. His political figure earned him the offices of…

to connect and sympathize for James Castle. Holden tries to connect with James Castle and relate to James’s death because Holden knows James will never grow up and Holden values James’s bravery for sticking up for what he believes in. Salinger’s appreciation for James Castle appears as a symbol of Jesus Christ; both represent saviors for the innocent who die committing acts of bravery. (parapharize) Holden’s younger brother, Allie, who died of leukemia, influences Holden’s life and is the main…
