small West Texas town in the mist of the Bible-belt. We were a very poor family, and as a child my father enforced the concept of being conservative and appreciating the gifts that were given from God. I recall my parents discussing Democrats as liberals, and their views were not appreciated in my household. The mere thought of things such as divorce, homosexuality, and abortion were taboos, and were for the sinners of all sinners. May…
you this letter to discuss the topics of liberal arts and vocation. These two topics are often talked about in academic institutions, but many of these institutions do not go any further than bringing it up; they do not take action on these topics, they simply talk about them. Here at Wheaton, these are central aspects of my education. We are conscious of these things and we strive to understand them as students. I am aware that you do not attend a liberal arts college which is why I wanted to…
The Great Conversation by Robert M. Hutchins, Statement of Liberal Education by Association of American College & University, What Is a 21st Century Liberal Education by Association of American College & University (AAC&U’s), and Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire’s are four articles that explain what liberal education stand for and what has been accomplished over the years. From reading the four articles they explained how liberal education has helped empower students and helped then…
Owens College might be able to go about developing operational goals to assess its performance on liberal arts learning outcomes by providing a specific basis for evaluation of performance, by breaking down a larger goal into workable tasks. The focus of operational goals is narrow, measurable, concrete and specific (Baker & Baldwin, 2015). For example, “Owens College liberal arts program admission will include 50 foreign new students next semester” verses “the college’s future curriculum…
The process of deciding what college to attend, is one of the most difficult tasks that one can have in their lives. There are so many variables in choosing the right school, the education, sports, size, denomination. The University of Sioux Falls is a great fit for me because of many different things like the size, education, and the denomination. Being able to play a sport that you enjoy and study the intended majors are great to have. But in addition, the close relationships that all students…
In the July of 2015, ChloeBeth Soileau and her mother, Kim Soileau were hard at work organizing Kim’s father’s surprise 80th birthday party. No detail had gone unnoticed. The tables, chairs, decorations, barbecue sandwiches, chips, iced tea, and sodas were all in place as each guest arrived. After “Surprise!” was said and “Happy Birthday” was sung, ChloeBeth stayed on her toes making sure all of the guests had what they needed and were having a splendid time. She realized later that evening that…
Industry research Event planning is summed up as the process of managing a project. These projects can range anywhere from a meeting to a party. In my company I would like to focus my attention on the party aspect of event planning. In Rockland and the surrounding area there is no other company competing for an event planning business and this is the perfect opportunity. The event planning industry is growing at large rates and there is a 44% increase of employment in this decade. Customers I…
Title Here “The Garden Party” is both a coming of age tale and a look at the class disparity in New Zealand at the time. The story follows Laura on the day of her family’s big garden party as she interacts with members of both classes and prepares for the big event. It is no surprise that a short story called “The Garden Party” is full of descriptions of plants and various flowers. However, Katherine Mansfield utilizes them for more than just the setting. Each plant mentioned holds a deeper…
Birthday Party Videos Project#1 Yamilette Gonzalez The University of Arizona Birthday Party Videos Project#1 Introduction: For this project I decided to compare and contrast two typically developing children of ages two and five. I chose the videos from the list provided to the class, which where girl #2 on the 2-year-old column and girl# 1 on the 5 year old column. My hypothesis based on what I know from this course so far and reading a couple of articles on the web, is that the…
Time in the Eyes of a Child Several incidents in my life could have turned me into be a very bitter or an abusive woman. I will never forget the life of fear I lived in throughout my childhood. Now, as an adult, I have found peace in forgiveness. I made a promise to myself that my daughter would never suffer what I went through. God listened to my prayers not on my time, but on his time. My mother was enduring the stages of menopause when I was born; I’m a “change of life baby”. She only…
