My definition of a hero is someone who you can look up to and respect very well. My mom is my hero for many reasons. I consider my mother a hero because she’s strong, a teacher, a supporter, and caregiver. First, my mom is very strong. My mom is strong because everyday she fights with Bipolar. Bipolar is a mental issue where she could be happy then sad the next minute. Another reason that she is strong is having to help with my brother that has the same problem as her, except that he has…

Defining Miracle and Associated Issues In this essay, I intend to summarize David Hume’s argument from An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, that supports his claim that, “[u]pon the whole, then, it appears that no testimony for any kind of miracle has ever amounted to a probability, much less to a proof…” (Hume 67). In addition, I intend to summarize, then, compare and contrast Hume’s argument to the view presented by John Hick in his book Philosophy of Religion. Lastly, I will give my…

Imagine two sets of exact opposite people going shopping together. For example, an ENFP and ISTJ goes shopping with an ESFP and an INTJ. Does it seem chaotic? Good, because it is. The situation I described above is the Ross family shopping experience. My mom is the ENFP, my dad is the ISTJ, Madisyn is the ESFP, and I am an INTJ (when I’m around my family). Let me tell you, when we shop all together, it is quite an ordeal. Before we even get in a store, our shopping experience is a mess. My…

My four letter personality type is INFP, which stands for introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Perceiving. Typically people with INFP personality types are caring, thoughtful, intuitive and considerate. However they are also perfectionists and its common for them to be awkward when they are speaking aloud. INFPs are very causal and laid back, but that also contributes to their terrible organization habits, although if one of their beliefs are violated . At that time INFPs can become very…

“...A hero means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes are always making a sacrifice.Heroes always take a risk.Heroes always doing something that most people don’t and we want to change.I want to democratise heroism to say any of us can be a hero”-Philip Zimbardo.In 2011 Fucson, Arizona, an act of heroism was happening in the parking lot of Safeway.A massive shooting was happening which resulted in 6 dead and 14 injured.The “bystanders” who were watching the…

When one thinks of a hero, he or she would likely think of a character able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or a person with laser beam eyes.This concept of a hero is severely outdated. Heroism isn’t an elusive quality only found in our favorite comic book heros. Everyone performs heroic acts daily, whether it be on a large scale such as saving a life, or a bit smaller such as simply being a good role model to a child. Although the true definition of a hero is somewhat debated, the…

After taking a test I learned my Myers-Briggs Type was Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perception (ISFP). I am actually glad I had taken the test because I think ISFP really fits me, which is great because when I was filling in the blanks I was worried I was not answering truthfully. I think knowing my Myers-Briggs has help me to figure why I study a certain way and why I’m more likely to enjoy certain subjects in school. While I couldn’t relate to everything that goes with being an ISFP for…

Throughout musician David Bowies career the artist discography has covered a large array of subject matter and themes. Noted for his chameleon like ability to shift through personas, ideas and subject matter, Bowie’s work can be sectioned into different thematic movements, from Ziggy Stardust to the Thine White Duke. Yet connections can be drawn and linked throughout his whole musical career. Themes presented in his early work are referenced and connected into Bowie most contemporary albums. A…

I think goal 1, 2, 4 and 8 have done a lot of work and have come a long way. I believe goal 1 has done a lot of work because poverty has significantly declined by more than half, in 1990 it was 1.9 billion and in 2015 it decreased to 836 million. Goal 2 has come a long way in improving education. In 2000 there were 100 million out of school children, and in 2015 there were 57 million. In Sub-Saharan Africa primary school net enrolment has increased up to 80% which is higher than what it was in…
