Futures contract

our time in Foundations with Dr. Cramer, we learned a lot about the view of the future. Our view of the future is important because what we think about the future determines the way we decide to live our lives in the present. One idea about the future that we learned through Dr. Cramer’s teachings and Skye Jethani’s book, “Futureville”, is the myth that is so often taught in Christian society today, that our futures are only important if they are used in ministry. In Futureville, Jethani says,…

Travel Texts In many seminal time travel texts, genders fulfill certain archetypes that arise from societal gender roles. In the movies Back to the Future and The Time Traveler’s Wife and the novel Kindred, females have less agency, power, and independence than male characters, showing how time travel texts are inherently sexist. In the movie Back to the Future, Marty McFly accidentally travels to the past, only to have his teenaged mom romantically pursue him, highlighting how female characters…

approach people in a proper way, especially those who work in a formal business. College will help me to be a better writer in the future. Furthermore, college will increase my comprehension of reading difficult text. I will learn a variety of new words and context clues. I will become a logical thinker. Instead of focusing on today’s work, I will think plan better for the future. In addition, college is the best place to keep me informed with new technology. I will keep up with the latest…

scare the living hell out of me. I sat down with my parents and we assessed the situation. At the time, Trump was still running his presidential campaign which we took into consideration. Either I would stay in Qatar, roll the dice and see what the future holds or I would have to leave everything behind and move to the US all on my own. After my parents broke down all the consequences I knew what the right thing to do was, but I was deeply frightened and terrified just by the thought of it. My…

Recovery doesn’t happen overnight. Recovery is a lifelong process. Recovery requires effort—reaching out for education and learning through trial and error helps us rise like a phoenix from the ashes of our darkest moments. Full throttle and warp speed are only for spaceships—certainly not for recovery. We should give ourselves permission to move at a tortoise’s speed when necessary, remembering that the tortoise won the race with the hare nonetheless. Recovery doesn’t mean that we are free…

Throughout this semester in the Comparative History of North America course, I have learned how all global processes and events are in some way linked to another event in the same region or perhaps in a country far away. Also, understanding how the same event is viewed historically or documented in the first person, can be drastically different depending on which side the author of the document is aligned with. By comparing these events from all perspectives we get a truer version of the how…

my graduate program at UWM in fall 2015 and is expecting to graduate by 2017. So far I have completed 13 UWM graduate credits and was able to score a grade 'A' in my courses. Throughout my career I had a variety of experiences that have affirmed my future ambitions as a SLP. Since my interest has been more towards the pediatric population and hence have frequently worked in this sector. I served as the class director and a math and reading tutor at the Kumon Learning Center (Niles, Illinois) for…

powerful as it speaks of the sorrow of the past generations and the hope for the future generations. The name itself, “Song of Hope”, gives away a little bit of what Oodgeroo is trying is to say. It lets you know that of the text is to give hope, but hope for what? As the reader continuous to read, the mystery begins to unravel itself. Ultimately, the poem speaks optimistically of hope of a brighter and fairer future for coming generations of Aboriginals, after several years of racial tension…

A personality. Existentially, I have made choices such as being a very involved athlete and attending Walsh. These choices have led me to be dedicated and focused when I want to succeed at something. Teleologically, I know that I want a successful future, not necessarily in terms of money, but in terms of my relationships and my impact on the world. I want family and friends that share my interests and help me to be my best self. In order to achieve my teleological identity, I know that there…

Ithaka begins by striking the reader with a “voyage” to a destination called “Ithaka.” The author proclaims that he hopes the “voyage is a long one,” which doesn’t appear to make much sense if we are trying to reach “Ithaka,” because surely the distention is superior to the place where the “voyage” started. Through this, the author distinguishes that “Ithaca” the “island” is not intended, but rather what is intended is “Ithaka” the spirit. In our voyage, we shall not be afraid of encountering…
