available through our freedom. “Authenticity demands… the recognition that we are without excuses” (Sartre, 1966, p.34). We take the entirety of our choices into our own hands and accept all repercussions. “Authenticity implies an awareness of our being responsible for the direction of our fundamental project, of our life’s orientation” (Catalano, 1980, p.214). We cannot hand off our life’s circumstance to the context, or facticity nor can we fall to our transcendence. One has freedom and one…
account cuts off all our relations, relations that are important to us as humans, and devalues the deaths of others. Yes, the death of another cannot be representative of what my own death will be like, but that does not lessen its importance to my being. I cannot allow myself to feel entirely freed by the knowledge that my death will be unlike anyone else’s because I am not an individual in a vacuum, and my own desires and feelings are not my sole concern in life. I have family and friends by…
I believe my participation grade should be an A, or somewhere in the 90’s range. When I filled out the rubric for myself I circled the exemplary box for five out of six of the categories. I circled the exemplary box for these categories because I strongly feel that I am a respectful and engaged student much more often than not. Obviously I am not perfect and I do not always display perfect behavior but I believe I display good behavior almost always. The only category I circled proficient for…
plays an important role in both books. One more thing that we will get into later is Loyalty, but that one characteristic is probably the main one in both stories. Now, in the research that I conducted I had come across six different elements into being an epic. I also have to add in that these elements…
People are able to take a fact about themselves, like Vincent being a faith birth, and turn it around into a different meaning or justification to their actions or lack of actions. Vincent viewed himself as Jerome entirely differently that Eugene does. Vincent is afraid that someone will notice that he is not Jerome…

National Junior Honors Society is a society for kids who exceed in the four categories: leadership, service, character, and citizenship. Being in NJHS would be an amazing opportunity that I hope I can be a part of. I believe that I excell in all of the four categories in many different ways and I am definitely someone that you should consider for the part. One of the categories is leadership and I feel that I am a very good leader that would be great for NJHS. For example, I play competitive…
When a soldier goes off to war, they are told to follow orders first and foremost. Often soldiers fight for causes deemed just by their governments, meaning the individual soldier 's opinion on the validity of the war is not considered. In a country with a draft or some other form of mandatory military service, soldiers might be forced to fight a war they do not believe in. These circumstances might lead one to believe that soldiers are not morally responsible for acts committed in war. I will…
literacy studies and continues to be an influence to these disciplines. A main part of johns Paul sarte was his novels on his work of the conflict between oppressive, spiritually destructive conformity (which he describes as bad faith) and the general being and authentic way a person should live. This became the dominant theme of sarte early work…
Jack and Algernon, two significant characters in Oscar Wilde’s Importance of Being Earnest, are characterized by similarities and differences that drive the main plot of the play. For example, both characters are well versed in the art of deception, because they have used fictional names and characters in their lives. The “Bunburying” causes the most comic aspect of the play: the mistaken identities. Although the two characters take parallel actions, such as when they developed imaginary…
