The achievement of harmony and peace between both cultures and being able to tolerate the…

the listening category because it is a rare event for me to have side conversations during group discussions. Maybe a friend will ask me for a pencil or if I agree that it is very hot in the classroom, but other than that there are only one or two times where I recall actually not listening to the objective at hand. I am trying my best to listen attentively when others are presenting or when the teacher is speaking. I understand that there is always room for improvement in all categories, but,…

An epic is a long, stylized narrative poem celebrating the deeds of a national hero. Also, known as the odyssey or Beowulf both books/poems are very well written especially in the given time period.

One of the categories is leadership and I feel that I am a very good leader that would be great for NJHS. For example, I play competitive…

the idea of infinity” and in Otherwise than Being, Levinas is problematizing time and its relation to being. Time, in one sense, is alluded when the word “before” or “anterior” is used many times, but also “present,” a time that seems to be out of phase or dislocated; how can it be anterior and present?
