Importance of Governmental and Scientific Tutelage Immanuel Kant designates that, “Enlightenment is a man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is a man’s inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! ‘Have courage to use your own reason!’---that is the motto of the enlightenment.” However…

“I’d rather die in Bangladesh than be forced to return to Myanmar,” says Aisha, 19. Aisha, a Rohingya woman, was raped by soldiers that were attacking her village in Myanmar. The Myanmar soldiers violently killed her son, as the family attempted to flee the violence in Myanmar. “They threw my son in the air and cut him with a machete. Then they threw petrol bombs and burned down our houses,” reported by UNICEF. This is only one story of a Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh. Aisha’s story is not an…

When taking the 16Personalities Test online at, 16personalities.com, it tested my personality type. For example, I was given countless questions about my personality and had to answer between strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. When taking this personality test I realized it asked questions about all various aspects of personality types. It asked many diverse questions for say if I found it difficult to introduce myself to other people and if I try to respond to email…

The Myers-Briggs type indicator explains an individual’s personality type based on his or her preferences. By understanding each type preference, a person can choose what fits him or her the most. In my case, through comprehension of the 8 different characteristic I was able to choose what I believed suits me best. I have chosen the INFP preference type for myself, which stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving. I have always thought of myself as an introvert, I have never been a…

I am writing to discuss some concerns I have about Lacombe and surrounding areas. Concerning Tourism and culture I do not think there is much of either. Lacombe’s best feature is probably the small coffee shops and most likely the most touristy spots. Of course, there is only a few of these and when someone says tourist hot spots you don’t really think of Lacombe or the surrounding areas of Lacombe. Lacombe, Red Deer, Edmonton etc. are more places to live rather than tour so we are not getting…

Hero. A person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. Many people in the world have heroes to look up to. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Amelia Earhart, Anne Frank, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, are all influential people kids learn about or know. But what about the ones we see in comic books, such as Captain America or Iron Man? They aren’t real people that saved the day. They only saved the day in comic books, TV shows, and movies. Common Sense Media states, “From…

changed his name to David Koresh and created a cult. A cult means a religious group which promotes worship of a human leader and devotion of one's life to a specific purpose. David made a cult than stored a whole bunch of gun powder and guns and made an army which he said he wanted to make an army of God. This whole entire thing about how Waco was destroyed occurred very interesting to me, but after reading a lot about Waco I came to understand one main thing, it is that David Koresh was the…

My personality type surprised me. I’ve always thought of myself as soft-spoken, intelligent, and very introverted. I don’t normally lead situations, but I’ve usually had the ideas that could. The personality type that I got was ENTJ or E (extrovert), N (intuitive), T (thinking), J (judging). This personality is the “Commander”, the natural born leaders. I was shocked to see that Gordon Ramsey, Steve Jobs, Margaret Thatcher, and Whoopi Goldberg were a few people in which I share common traits…

David Sedaris, in his essay Remembering my Childhood on the Continent of Africa, uses clever parallelism, thinly veiled satire, disconnected idealism, and intermittent dialogue to supplement an allegorical analysis of Security and Liberty in Human Society. Sedaris is a well-known comedic author, and his essays tend to be about one subject at face value, but an entirely different one between the lines. This clever distinction allows the reader to enjoy two stories at a time. Given this,…
