Being and Time

The person who has impacted my life the most is one of my dads friends Kenny. He is 67 years old with a beard that looks like santa claus and when my grandpa passed away and I was just 6 years old Kenny became a role model that made me think of my grandpa. As a role model for me to look up to, he has taught me a lot of lessons in life on respecting people and teaching me a good work ethic. He also loves hunting and the outdoors which requires a lot of hard work even when it is just a vacation.…

In the name of civilizing, religious conversion, and supposed justice, wrongful violence has ensued a countless number of times in history, with everyone guilty at one point or another. According to a study conducted on college freshmen at UCLA in 2014, a whopping 67% reported being unable to work cooperatively with a diverse group of people. Such tragic realities exemplify society’s overall ignorance to the unity of existence. A society inclined to…

reason to pay attention to these demonstrations. Breaking laws, however, makes the protesters’ and activists’ opinions the government’s problem because the movement for change infiltrates the legal and judicial systems. If you have hundreds of people being arrested while protesting the construction of a pipeline that would poison drinking water or uproot Native American burial grounds like we saw with the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone XL Pipeline, for example, politicians are a lot…

About to end my sophomore year terrified, still in the process of figuring out what my declared major was going to be. Everyone says that you have so much time to figure out what you want to do in life or what you want to be when you grow up, but I continued to feel as if my time was just about over. I didn’t want to continue taking class not knowing if they are even going to be needed for my major. I was on a mission to figure out what the best path for me was and to do it quick. I was ready to…

that when one faces problems or challenges, the most efficient way to approach them is to tackle them head-on rather than trying to ignore them. It also explains that there comes a time in our lives when certain things become inevitable whether it be good-byes like in Miles’ case or times to move on from the past. At the time of his statement, Miles was saying his good-byes to his mother and father before moving away to Culver Creek High School. This quote connects to my life because while…

genetics had to do with his memory. Short term memory is limited if not exercised frequently. In Barry’s case, what this tells me is that going on scheduled dates isn’t a normal occurrence for him, otherwise he would be more likely to remember the time of his date. To solve Barry’s memorization issue he just needs to schedule more dates, thus keep his short term memory up to date and functioning fluidly. A humanistic approach to Barry’s state of affairs would focus on his feelings. Why is he…

diseases, cataracts, and beak down of the central nervous system. Long term exposure is a factor strongly considered when thinking of sending astronauts to mars and they would be exposed for a long period of time. Suits are in the works to eliminate the risk of all the radiation. Limiting a crew’s time exposed to radiation was used in the early space programs. During the Apollo missions to the moon exposure to radiation belts was minimized but on the way to a planet like mars other factors may…

Physical Space being used in Libraries Expectation, Situation Introduction Due revolution in information technology, the role of library has been changed astonishingly in past decades. Traditional libraries emphasis on providing quiet space and printed books, however, modern libraries are not only providing traditional academic reference service but also providing digital information service; not only for study but also for socialising.

Tuesday, November 10th: Today I was at Hospice Home. It was the Hospice Home building location, not the home visits. I had a good experience with the nurse I shadowed and learned a lot. I learned quickly that being a Hospice nurse at the Hospice Home is very different than other types of nursing. Right away something that stuck me is that the nurses in this setting have more autonomy in their practice. They make a lot more independent decisions and then just notify the physician as to what they…
