This paper to me seemed like it would be a very tough one to accomplish. I am not one to go into another person’s home and just observe them and maybe put myself in an awkward position. But, this assignment actually pushed me out of my comfort zone. Because of this paper, I talked to an old friend of mine who has an all Hispanic family and they live where I grew up but hold a lot of their culture with them and inside their home. I asked my old friend if I could come over and catch up with him…

People in low-context cultures such as America tend to be more confrontational and direct attitude toward conflicts; people in high-context cultures such as China tend to be more non-confrontational and indirect attitude toward conflicts (Ting-Toomey, 2012). Therefore, they believe that certain degree of disagreement will help them solve the problems and provide the needs for other people. Ting-Toomey (2006) examined why Americans tend to be more confrontational and direct attitude when dealing…

"Runners on your mark! Get Ready!" BANG! Freshman year track and field for me was hard and frustrating, at some times, but I really enjoyed it especially my last race before my season ended it. I was a distant runner in track doing the one mile and two mile but i did not really enjoy the two mile as much as I did in the one mile. To me the one mile felt like the perfect event for me and I would always be excited to run it. On the day of my last race day, I was feeling nervous but determined to…

‘recovery’ days of 7 miles. When asked if the younger Satre ever stops to walk when he trains, he responds with a strict “No,” as if even the simple thought of walking is beneath him.

But it turns long-distance runners don’t feel the need to take rest on the seventh day and instead partake in light…

tour. The tour started in the sports facility, making our way through locker rooms and training facilities for athletes from various sports. We covered nursing, science, mathematics, business and many more. Being an outgoing person, I met most of the cross country team, got along instantly and even discussed what path would be best for me with one of the athletes. With the conclusion of that tour, Oshkosh became one of my top choices for a 4-year University that I would attend. Both the…

World War II was a dark, terrible time in history. It was a time when maniacal, fascist dictators terrorized the masses, and showed signs of growing more powerful by the second. It was a time when citizens lived in fear of armies looting and burning their cities, and sought protection from bombs dropping mercilessly from the sky. It was a time when corruption ran deep into the government, and every official had suspicions about the others leaking information to the enemy. People were afraid,…

This diversity of talents does not make just integration between individuals but…
