continued, the word “society” kept coming up. I was very intrigued that society could have such an impact on children everywhere. The fact that they are given the power to define disability shocks me. I can’t believe that people just accept the definition and group children based on it.…

What does it mean to be successful? Everyone views what being successful are different, the times we live in have a tremendous impact on how successfulness is represented. Success means the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. This definition can lead me to believe that success is represented through accomplishing a goal in your life such as receiving an education, creating a well-paying career for yourself and being able to afford more luxurious things in life. The meaning of successfulness…

Our society is defined, partially, by the concern to capture memories within physical keepsakes in attempt to remember the accomplishments we strived for and the failures we drag begrudgingly behind our individual egos. At times, during this lifetime process, we often take universal knowledge, whether taught, told, or thrived upon, to aid us in our journey. And through this we personalize said knowledge to fit our needs. In turn, this provides us with necessary meaning and purpose. However,…

Standpoint Theory Define Standpoint theory is defined by Jandt (2012) as, “How individuals understand and construct a social world. rather than the belief that each of us must choose a single identity, standpoint theory contends that each of us can construct multiple identities. Standpoint theorist also incorporate the construct of power. Individuals whose identities include less powerful groups can see the world from that perspective as well as from the standpoint of those in power. However,…

Throughout its history, the British Empire was obsessed with its own culture; yet, paradoxically, the nation wanted to understand how the “other” perceived the glory and dominance of the lion. However, this notion of culture seems straightforward until one begins to examine its connection to imperialism. The famed literary critic, Edward Said, defines culture in two different facets that include “the arts of description, communication, and representation, have relative autonomy from the economic…

My life has been full of difficulties and problems that I have had to deal with, and ultimately, overcome. When I was younger, I was diagnosed with High-functioning Autism and ADHD and it has impacted my life to this day. I also had severe anger issues growing up which made it hard for my siblings to have their friends over. Every day is a new challenge that I have to deal with. My Autism and ADHD has really defined my life as it changes how I react to my peers, bosses, and faculty. I tend to…

A Big Surprise In 1914, there was a truce that most people who know about it will never forget. How come in this time of 2017 some people still can’t be equal with other religions, beliefs, or even just where their from and how they look. If we can’t accept it in 2017 how did the 2 sides in WW1 accept each other willingly even though they were enemies? Some people in our time just don’t understand that the person they hate hasn’t done a thing to them, but in WW1, 2 enemies had come together…

Abraham Lincoln’s wise words reverberate in my mind as a constant reminder to stay true to the tree rather than the shadow. The belief statement of a tree being the real thing teaches the importance of constantly making an effort to live an authentic life while externalizing our internal qualities in order to contribute to the general opinion that others build. Defining someone’s character is undeniably a difficult feat because it is often impossible to define for ourselves and essentially…

Many may define success as achieving wealth, respect, or fame. But for me I define success in a different way, success is setting a personal goal that will make you happy in the long run and later achieving that goal by hard work and dedication. Success to others may be achieving a goal, but to me success isn’t successful unless you are achieving a goal that makes you happy in the end. Overcoming any obstacles, never cheating yourself, determination, and hard work are all factors of being…
