Integrity is considered to be the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Wistfully, 59% of high school students admitted cheating on a test during the last year. Such impressive information contributes to the fact that now a days children don’t respect life. In this society were teachers try to do their best in educating the future of our country, it is at home were the big problem starts. Reluctantly, such integral values must be portrayed by society as…

In the stories of Demosthenes and Sisyphus, the characters had a few similarities relating to their determination towards a certain goal; they also had quite a bit of differences. They both had a goal, yes, but the way it is conquered isn’t so similar. Sisyphus was manipulative and selfish, but he cared deeply for his people. He angered Zeus in trade for a fresh spring for his land, knowing the consequences would be severe. Hades was requested to punish Sisyphus, but failed to do so when…

I wish to be in the UNCC University Honors Program because I want to obtain the most intelligence out of my college experience. I wish to insert myself into an environment where I will be encompassed by students who desire to be the best at what they do. As an honors student at UNCC I will thoroughly demonstrate the actions of a scholar-citizen by living by the tradition of service, leadership, and community engagement, while also bettering myself through education and contributing back to the…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph, Jack, and Piggy lose their identities on the stranded island causing destruction and disaster. While discussing about the beast, Simon describes a loss of identity through the beast when he says, “what I mean is… Maybe it’s only us” (Golding 89). This shows that Simon was no longer identifying the other boys the same as he was when they first arrived on the island. This idea is important because it proves that characters were noticing the changes…

The dog would salivate quickly when it saw the food but after repeatedly doing the same test Pavlov noticed that the dog started to salivate even before the food was presented and that even just listening to his footsteps the dog would start to salivate. Pavlov wanted to find out why this was happening so he wanted to find out by “systematically varying the stimuli and watching the reaction” of the dog.

Ponyboy is conflicted with who he is as a person. Internally, he feels gentle and he does not want to hurt anyone. He sees everyone fighting for a reason; fun, anger, pride or just to get that last punch. But what does Ponyboy fight for? He does not know, in fact he does not like to fight.

He thinks fighting is dumb and he would rather be someone else who is kind, gentle, smart and polite unlike those hardcore…

ice was to blame. A little background: Part, if not all, of my reason for rejecting my father’s suggestion that I study business in college was the fact that he had already blazed that trail and I resented the idea of following in his footsteps, especially footsteps that had left such an indelible mark. You see, my father was…a salesman, and growing up in his giant shadow, it was impossible for me not to think that he was perhaps the greatest salesman in the world. The family room in our house…

I prayed that he found the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris. He certainly wasn’t a good man, but he did not deserve to be in a prison as horrific as Alcatraz. Clobbering footsteps quickly grew close to me. Allen West had returned, and I knew immediately that the other prisoners had abandoned him. Sullen and defeated, West returned to his cot to retire for the night. When West woke up the next morning, he was asked to answer…
