The qualities that I possess that would enable me to contribute to the FGCU community are compassion, leadership and commitment to excellence. Having compassion means being aware of the feelings and needs of those who are around you. It's the little things we do in life that can make a big difference in someone else's. Whether it’s helping a fellow student with homework or recognizing when a friend is having a bad day and giving him or her a shoulder to cry on – it’s these small gestures that…

I would contribute to as well as benefit from the diversity at NC State University. There are many ways in which my experiences will contribute to the diversity at NC State, such as: living overseas, gaining some college experience prior to attending a university, and living on my own. I spent most of my youth traveling with the military, which allowed me to experience foreign cultures first hand. I obtained college credits by being dual enrolled between Wayne School of Engineering, a high…

For this forum I had a discussion with a woman who is 70 and her initials are N.H. While discussing Medicare, Medicaid and the affordable health Care Act, she expressed her concerns with me. She said that with Medicare the rising cost for medicine is something that extremely concerning since she is retired and only has so much money to live on a month.

She burned total about 300 Protestants at the stake for heresy trials. The public burnings made Mary’s contribution of bringing back Catholicism into England a failure. Anne Commire said “the popular sympathy cheated by these public burning doomed Mary’s dream to eventual failure while earning for her the rather unattractive nickname ‘Bloody Mary’”…

McPherson’s War on the Waters: the Union and Confederate navies gives us a view of both the Union and Confederate Navies and explains both their organizations and the government involvement into the departments. McPherson makes a point that the Union Navy deserves more credit for Northern victory than it initially received. McPherson mentions both Grant and…

When it came to domestic policies, Washington focused on unity, order, security, and economic development. Washington united the states through trade and their commitment to the government. He believed it would eliminate prejudice and increase friendships. Unity also occurred politically. Washington publicly opposed political clubs, and saw them as a threat to unity. Although he widely spoke of them, he never took any action regarding them. He believed that the safest thing to do was to just let…

Like the women, the blacks also had a hard time fitting in with the whites in schools and needed to overcome obstacles in order to expand. One of the most influential people in black education was Booker T. Washington. Washington would teach himself the alphabet even though it was strictly frowned upon that a black person got an education. He would spend his nights studying with a teacher from a local black school. In 1870, he started to do housework for an owner of a coal mine. The owner’s wife…

Confucianism is a social ideology developed by the Chinese scholar and teacher Confucius (ca 551-479 B.C.). It is a worldview, a social ethic, a political ideology, a scholarly tradition, and a way of life (Welming, 1). The Confucian ideology focused on piety, humaneness, ritual, and support for the hierarchy (Westergard, 2). Although there were writings of Confucianism as early as the 4 century, it rose to dominance in the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.E-220 C.E.). Reigning for more than 400 years with…
