the tremendous contributions that she has made to the field of anthropology and the public. In addition, I find it very astounding that Mead “offers a resolution of the old apparent conflict between science and humanities through the development of a human science capable of justifying within science both quantitative and qualitative knowledge” (Ruby 2000, 165). Therefore, this provides a significant point of why one should combine the studies…

People no longer spend hours flipping through thick and heavy encyclopedias in libraries for information. Instead, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and others are freely available and can be used at anywhere in the world for free over a WiFi network. (Gil, P., 2017) As an example, in the past people would not receive news…

Sincerely speaking the term “digital identity” is new to me. Digital identity is defined as the way people engage with technology and has been variously called "digital identity" (Towndrow & Fareed, 2014) "technology identity"(Goode, 2010), or “personal digital engagement” (Gurung & Rutledge, 2014). This definition is entirely different from that of Warburton (2010) who mentioned that the term digital identity is problematic in that its definition is so broad. Warburton (2010) emphasizes that…

To Be or Not to Be Educated Colleges and universities, or more importantly an educational degree in the liberal arts, in today’s society is an important necessity that can help determine students’ goals and future in life. Maybe even calling these institutions or the educational system life itself can be called an understatement. However, there is no doubt that for some people in any part of the world they would risk everything they have in order to receive high-level education and use it to…

To begin with, Socrates a Greek philosopher who we only have information about through his pupils such as Plato, was not known for being a “humanist” but just had some elements portrayed in his philosophy.

material to solidify our knowledge. Group study is a method I used in high school, with great success for history and social science topics, and very limited success for math and chemistry. For more difficult topics in the future, I would like to try out the spaced repetition method of memorizing information, which is a scientifically-based, highly efficient way to review information so that it enters one’s long-term memory. In addition to this, for linguistics, I intend to use practice problems…
