Unlike Cordelia, Edgar seems unwilling to ask the gods to reverse his father’s fate, insinuating that he values justice over mercy. The difference in the way that these two characters alone approach the gods reiterates the notion that interpretations of the pagan gods’ natures are not rooted in scriptural evidence, but in the images of the believers themselves. Albany, like Edgar, also ppears to consider the gods “just.” “This shows you are above,” he exclaims, “You justicers, that these our…
Conflict resolution is an important area to hone especially when dealing with the general public. As health care workers, dealing with the public is something we literally do every day and it isn’t uncommon for our patients to not have a firm understanding of what we do, or are supposed to be doing for them. This is a perfect storm for conflict to brew in. Patients assume and expect certain things, sometimes unreasonable things, and it is our job to be able to deal with these issues and to…
In the Facing Challenges unit, there are many types of characters that have to face many different kinds of problems. From either mental challenges to physical challenges these characters have to find ways to overcome their problems. Bottom line is things can get tough and you have to find ways to grasp these challenges and overcome them. It’s obvious, the clearest theme in facing challenges is, if you work hard, you can overcome any challenge in life. In Harriet Tubman: Guide to Freedom, the…
Up until the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel’s faith grew even stronger as he suffered through the torture in concentration camps, but with the help of God he was able to surpass the great evil that existed. After being forced into trains and ghettos, Wiesel did not know what was going to happen to the Jewish community, and despite the fact that he was imprisoned because he is Jews, it actually saved him as he kept his faith true and strong with God. In the interview with Oprah Winfrey, he explains how…
is focusing on the issues in advertising companies and sports establishments. She states that females are extremely underrepresented. I believe that opinion completely. In the past, females have always experienced extreme prejudice. Presently, the problem…
literature, artwork, and so much more in life. I also believed imagination to be a personal thing and what stimulates thoughts for myself may not be the same thing that stimulates thoughts for others. I am the type of person who when faced with a problem that needs a solution, I generate ideas with fluency and flexibility. My thoughts are provoked when I am tasked with something I do not particularly already know how to do. I also realized in the early onset of this course that being nervous is…
Many people think that math is a hard subject and that it is complicated, especially trigonometry but to be honest trigonometry is my best subject. I enjoy doing trigonometry more than I enjoy doing ENC 1101. Trigonometry is easier to understand. I think trigonometry is better than ENC 1101 because we use math in our everyday life and I have a teacher physically in front of me. Personally, I think that trigonometry is superior to ENC 1101. I believe trigonometry is better than ENC 1101 because…
It’s difficult for people to admit they’re insecure and without judgental eyes and hurtful words nobody will need to. Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differs from one’s view. It is important to be tolerant of people that are different than you because all humans are 99.9% the same and shared knowledge changes your perspective. To begin with, you should accept everyone and their differences because they’re human too. For example, in Sarah’s Key, the…
In this term, particularly I learned 3 things. First of all, in the problem how to connect 9 circles with few straight lines. When I saw the example of how to solve the problem, I automatically made up conditions and got stuck in the problem. There are many simple, creative, and flexible answers and I fully realize the importance of critical thinking. From now on I would not assume the idea useless, and would develop my ability of critical thinking. Second of all, in the Marshmallow…
The Origin of Evil In Augustine Confessions, Book Seven, Augustine talks about his views on the origin of evil. The first thing he talks about is how evil exists because of our free will (119). Augustine states how God would not have created evil because He is not able to be corrupted (120). God could not let evil into the world because evil is corrupted while God is incorruptible (120). Free will allows evil to come into because it gives humans a choice to either commit an evil act or not.…
