Believe

This We Believe Reflection My Reaction to This Vision This We Believe is made up of only a short sixty six pages, but in this brief text the Association for Middle Level Education calls educators to a mountain sized challenge. One of the most important aspects of this book that I really admire is that its assumptions and conclusions are supported by extensive amounts of research, and the views they take in their vision are supported by evidence from numerous studies conducted by different…

I believe in support systems. No matter how difficult your past has been, how terrible your present is, or how bleak your future looks, a good support system can help you through anything. August 18, 2012, my uncle passed when he was only twenty-six years old. There are several instances where I received help and comfort that stick out in my mind. Every one of those situations involve another person offering comfort and love. I remember being carted off to a relative’s house while my parents…

When asked the question, “What do you believe,” I sit here and try to think about what I actually believe in. In my head I’m like, Well I believe in things like Jesus and God, always do your best, and treating people with respect, but those are all things most people believe in. I grew up being taught that this is what my family believes in, but this doesn’t really show what I believe in, it shows what I grew up learning. So what do I believe in? Other than the obvious believing in religion and…

Someone once said, ¨stand up for what u believe in, even if it means standing alone¨. For me it is very important to stand up for what we believe in, because if we don’t than how would we succeed in life. Standing up is a very powerful thing to do now a days. People don’t usually stand up on what they believe in because they always think it comes easy on them. However, I think standing up for what I believe in is very scary. What I think is that I will have to start doing things my own way. I…

To Believe or Not? W.K. Clifford, in "The Ethics to Believe", and William James, in "The Will to Believe", are engaged in a philosophical debate regarding whether or not it is morally acceptable to hold beliefs without sufficient evidence, in other words, faith – based beliefs. Clifford argues that it is always wrong to believe anything with insufficient evidence. The example he gives that shows how immoral a belief can be without evidence is about a shipowner and his ship and crew. In the…

argues that you should believe in God because if you live a virtuous life and God is real you will have an infinite life in heaven. But if you believe in God and he is not real the only thing you will lose is the pleasures of sin. He believes sin is innate in us as we are born into sin and that is what we ultimately would rather do than live virtuously. On the other if you don’t believe and he is real you will have an infinite life but just in hell. Also, if you don’t believe in God and he isn’t…

The America I Believe In Freedom. The dictionary says that the word means the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. In America we are not restrained by the government we have the right to speak our opinions and we are not controlled; we are not restrained. America is the country I believe in because we as Americans are brave strong, and most importantly of all we are free. As all freedom is being taken from the world, we (America) will be the…

“This I Believe” Essay I believe that people can change. “People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.” (Bobby Knight) When I was in middle school, my sister had a friend who did everything with her. They were the definition of best friends. The only flaw with this girl was that she had something against me and I didn’t know why. To be honest I still don't really know why we never used to get along, but that’s okay because she is one of the people who have…

The America I believe in. What America do I believe in? I believe that America is going through a rough patch in our society. I believe that we all don’t see eye to eye. I believe that as Americans we need to build up our community again as one. But what America do I believe in? America. It’s not perfect, and yes we do have plenty of problems. We watch on television our community being knocked down by thieves, murderer’s, drunk drivers, rapists, etc. Citizens are not respecting our communities,…
