both aspirations we all strive for throughout life, but quickly realize that we cannot have those without trauma or suffering in some form. Trauma is often associated with death, accidents, and negativity; but, it does not have to be. In the article “Do You Really Have to Fail to Succeed?” Dan McGinn states that “We, as a society, should recognize that trauma can offer an opportunity to test our resilience and then celebrate our mettle” (McGinn, Dan). While some people bounce back from adversity…

In the article “Do What You Love”, the author Tony Hawk claims that we should listen to our inner desires and has faith in it, even when it is not accepted bases on what is called normal by numerous people. To begin with, Tony says that he is an avid skateboarder for 24 years and people loath that job in personal levels followed by lots of unaccepted names which were set. He mentions that his job often conceives as a childish, time-consuming, critical and lawless job. He states that, by the time…

misrepresented the car’s condition to the young buyer. In this week’s lesson, we learned about fraud and misrepresentation. Let’s analysis the four questions for the discussion. Do you believe that it is ethically correct for a business to sell a product that is defective and not be willing to provide a refund? I do not think it was right for the car dealer to sell the defective car with the bent axle to young minor. I would have to assume that the car dealer must have made an inspection on…

What Do You See? Perceptions of Disability In the movie, What Do You See? Perceptions of Disability, I saw pictures of disabled children and adults. I saw various types of disabilities, such as blindness, physical disability, and learning disability. First I saw a picture of a group of adults confined to a wheelchair playing basketball. Then, I saw a picture of a woman with a dwarfism condition working on a computer and a picture of a deaf man and women communicating using sign language.…

Personal Reflection How political do you consider yourself? I should be considered highly not political since in most case I am extremely direct in term of communication. Despite having good intent, it is seldom well received by the majority of the people because to a certain degree, agreeing to what I said means that they had been wrong all this while. This is something that is hard to stomach since it is something that they view as face losing. I also viewed everyone equally and the highly…

1. How would you define 'hate speech?' Discriminating people or a group of people by written or verbal communication on the basis of superficial stereotypes, such as gender, race, culture, religion, sexual orientation or disabilities. 2.

grandparents were the equivalent to royalty in Cuba. You could say it was a nuclear shock for my Poppie going from glorifiable royalty in Cuba, to then being broke poor in America. Poppie made the best of it and managed to work his way up the latter in becoming a commissioner in New York City. Prior to that he and his father were able to attempt to “tactically assist” the United States in the Bay of Pigs operation. (I say tactically assist because I do not know the whole story, I wish I…

Now back in those times if you stole a man’s horse, well your neck would have probably been stretched. If criminals were hung today for theft, not necessarily of a horse and depending upon the nature of the case decides the punishment, there might just be less stealing and thieving…

Yo, Do You Break? Homosexuals, snobs, stuck up people with inborn talent and funky artists portray the dance subculture to those who do not understand it. Conversely, an extensive dive into this creative faction reflects a whole new module that kindles the face of our society. Dancers are categorized from casual to professional.
