Not everything is supposed to be for everyone. There is not a lot of evidence that an honor code can change your school in such a way to make it necessary. In our school i don't think that our students would support and follow an honor code which would make irrelevant. I do not think that Hotchkiss High School should have an honor code some reasons being that i don't think that kids at our school would abide by its rules. To begin with i think that the honor code would cause more problems at…

I was clouded by thoughts of what to do. I ended up asking my good friend, Spencer Rogers, who had graduated a year before me, whether or not it was a good idea to pick a new number. He told me “Maybe, a number is only a number. What you do while wearing the number is what really matters.” I thought about what he told me for the rest of the summer and when the time had come, I picked a new number for myself…

Imagination is the true building block for creation. According to Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand”. People full of imagination and creativity are the type of people that can change the world. Some people in history that used their imagination to create life altering inventions in today’s society are Thomas Edison,…

learned that in your writing you cannot be vague, because your readers aren’t mind reader. So, they cannot completely understand your point of view unless you take the time out and explain everything in your writing. In writing overly explaining your ideas is not a thing. Just try not to be redundant. Even though I have learned a lot about writing, and I am trying to improve my writing skills. I’m still in the process of taking these techniques, and finding out what works best for…

A story is an adventure the reader wants to partake in. It pulls the reader in, allowing him or her to experience a whole new world and meet new friends. A delightful story will create a sense of excitement and woo the reader to want more. The story is driven by the conflict. It is a crucial tool for writers to use to enhance and add further depth to the characters they create. "Without conflict, there is no story" (Sellers, 86). Furthermore, creating a good story might require additional…

After explaining the concept to him, he replied, “Dude, it exists already, it’s called Rainbow Six Siege.” This sparked some curiosity into my mind about original ideas even being possible at this point in time. Over the course humanity 's history, roughly 107 billion humans have walked the Earth and currently there are over 7 billion alive currently, all whom are constantly thinking of stuff in their mind. Therefore;…

The theory of innateness is a philosophical concept developed to explain how human beings are born with certain ideas that lead to knowledge. However, in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke claims that there is not satisfactory evidence to support this theory. In the first book of the Essay, Locke challenges the general assumption that the human mind innately possesses the basic truths thought necessary for the possibility of knowledge. Contrary to the widely held belief of…

wrestled with the wide variety of topics in Gadamer’s Truth and Method, we’ve talked about culture and diversity with Voltaire, we’ve dissected the idea of enlightenment with Hume and Kant, and we’ve touched on religion and the value of a liberal education in our last few texts. However, the topic that I have wrestled with the most this semester is the idea of a liberal education, and its relationship to the Gadamerian concepts of Bildung, Erfahrung, and spiel. As a student at one of the top…

do not read blindly. You have a goal or an objective when reading. The purpose of why someone is reading will determine how they will read. When reading we are trying to translate what the author has written into the original meaning using our own ideas to aid us. To read for pleasure the reader is not stuck on fully understanding the text but instead just reading for personal amusement. For a reader that has an objective or goal behind why they are reading it is very important for them to…
