thinking ahead. But essentially it’s more to just thinking outside the box. I personally use critical thinking in my everyday life, I play video games a lot and a video game that I believe that involves a lot of critical thinking is Call of Duty. Call of duty is a first person shooter game type and it’s your job to move around the map in a critical way to get to your opponents. Basically when your running look for an enemy to shoot you have to think critical in order to defeat your opponent. A…

“All buggers report to duty immediately! Our defense systems have been breached! All buggers report to duty immediately! Our defense systems have been breached!” blared the loudspeakers repeatedly in my quarters, each message sending an echo down the narrow hallway leading to the other buggers’ quarters. What a perfect way to start the day. I am awoken at five-thirty in the morning by the sound of extremely high-pitched loudspeakers- just what I need! Ugh! I better go and find that awful Queen…

He defines the family unit as “children, wife, and other members of the household including relatives and servants.” (A 66) Babaro wrote On Wifely Duties as a wedding gift to his friend Lorenzo to give his opinions on ideals that he believed…

nation to be its absolute greatest. Helping your nation is one of the key objectives to success. Many definitions of Americans could be made in many different ways. In "What is an American?", "What is Freedom?", and "Veterans Day: Never Forget Their Duty" there are plenty of definitions of an American. Identifying them can be seen as negation, function, exemplification, and classification. According to the article "What is an American" there are many reasons Americans are who they are. The…

Something that helps determine what moral standing a person should take in a situation is a prima facie duty. A prima facie is what a person feels or sees at the very first glance. Some examples of prima face duties are to tell the truth, don’t kill people, and help other people in need. These all seem like things that are obvious, but they shouldn’t always be true if there is another conflict at cost. Because…
