Service learning is taking time in the surrounding community, and making a positive difference through the words or actions that occur. Doing this allows for us to be out and connecting what we are learning to do in the classroom and applying it to the real world. In my service learning time I spent I was able to make a positive difference in the lives a few children even if it was just for a day. I spent a Saturday afternoon working with a Milton Hershey employee in what they call a “home…

My teaching philosophy is to maintain a balance between the duties of a teacher, the responsibilities as an advisor, and the role as a mentor. Teaching is a challenging, dynamic, creative, customized and evolving craft. The challenge is not in the physical act of doing the job as anyone can stand and narrate few words in front of an audience, but the challenge is to do it in an effective and efficient manner. I believe the essence of teaching is to facilitate the learning process and to get the…

uses Bernoulli’s theory on utility to explain why this is not how most would react. He explains that people are risk-averse, a fact Kahneman agrees with. People would rather abstain from risk in favor of a guaranteed outcome. The standard utility curve is shown in figure 1. Increasing wealth from 1 million…

Inequality is increasingly at the forefront of public debate. After seven years, global economies today continue to struggle for recovery from the 2007-2009 Great Recession. Rising inequality is not a new issue, yet the subject and its distribution has been continuously marginalized in the field of mainstream economics. Perhaps it is due to inconsistent views of what economic inequality is, its level of economic consequences, and when inequality becomes unjustified. As a famous economic…

In the Wilt Chamberlain example, Nozick attempts to show that patterned principles of just distribution are incompatible with liberty. Nozick argues that what the Wilt Chamberlain example shows is that no patterned principle of just distribution will be compatible with liberty. To preserve the pattern which was agreed to in the original position, the state will have to continually interfere with people's ability to freely exchange their shares allotted by the patterned principles. For any…

Fear of the future is one phobia that every so often gets a grip of us all. Wilkinson continues to assert, "We look out into the future, trying our best to make wise decisions, only to find ourselves staring into the teeth of ferocious and widespread uncertainties. If only everything didn't depend on, well, everything else. How do we decide what kind of career path to pursue when it's not clear what industries will exist in 10 or 15 years? How do we plan our children's education when we can't…

It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…
