    Merrifield English 101: P04 November 17, 2014 Success When you look around in today's society how many wealth and popular people do you know that are the epitome of success? Either they are happy, poised, and relaxed as the media portrays them to be or they are having nervous breakdowns and questioning what they are doing and at what cost is it actually worth it? I’d choose to question is it actually worth being wealthy and popular if it means having the media following me everywhere I go. Mainstream media has effectively propagandized success to society as a false definition. They want us to think that living in a mansion, having infinite amounts of money at your disposal, and having the latest collection of cars as Jay Leno, high quality of designer clothing and the latest tech gizmos are the fruits of success. When really its a fictitious advertisement by the media that you hardly see in real everyday life. My definition of success is having emotional, body, and moral intelligence-but being human these traits are hard to live by, but since it is the twenty first century modern media deviants behavior controls what we define as success.…

    In the dialogue Euthyphro, Socrates inquires into the nature of piety and goodness by questioning Euthyphro, whom Socrates deems to be somewhat of an expert on moral matters. Euthyphro defines piety as being that which the gods love. Socrates argues that this definition brings about a dilemma (named the Euthyphro dilemma) that Socrates believes has only two options, both of which challenge the common role that god and religion play in relation to morality. I will argue that perhaps these two…

    A true friend accepts who you are but also helps you become who you are supposed to be. The definition of a true friend has changed over time. “The Japanese have a term, Kenzoku, which translated means “family”. The connotation suggests a bond between people who’ve made a similar commitment and share a similar destiny. It implies the presence of the deepest connection of friendship, of lives lived as comrades from the distant past.” (Lickerman, Alex. “The True Meaning of Friendship.” Psychology…

    The Character of Work The simple definition of work as provided by Meriam-Webster is “a job or activity that you do regularly, especially in order to earn money” (Work, n.d.). While, this is a simple definition of work, I believe it is not the type of work that defines a person but their work character which defines them. To understand the importance of what one does to earn a living, and whether or not work defines them, one should explore these ideas through the works of Dorothy Sayers,…

    In terms of a nominal definition, we look at class as a specific system used throughout society, which divides people based on their social or economic status. We will also be measuring this term using qualitative data. In order to better measure class, it is important that we focus on the empirical indicators associated with it, specifically, one’s economic net worth, as well as their cultural and political status within society. With these, we are able to form an operational definition, which…

    Socrates introduces the Guardian, Auxiliary, and Systemic class in addition to Justice. In this Socrates finally offers his own definition of justice.

Earlier in Republic Socrates introduces the idea of specialization, where each person performs a single craft because then every single task can be done with…

Its main point is to show that rape culture exists in universities and colleges and is not “frowned” upon as it…
