Looking Backward

opportunity to be placed in the District Attorney’s environment of a major city and county. The closest I’ve gotten to see the system is in court for a traffic violation. I feel like the legal world is like the ocean. You can’t see much above the surface looking in but once you dive in, you discover remarkable things. Just being in the environment and being able to observe will be interesting, and any hands-on work will be exponentially astonishing. I feel blessed to have this opportunity…

rework concepts/statements/instructions that were not understood and even as it is used in the specific context of the bridge program, i know i will need to use those skills in any classroom. I am able to get out of my individual mindset and start looking at how other teachers deal with their classroom and students. In that regard it's a great study of classroom procedure with how they deal with differences and also gives the chance to observe student interactions from a community I had not seen…

past. People desire all sorts of things, and many of those desires can be destructive for the possible salvation leading into the next life. St. Cyril of Jerusalem intellectually compared temptation to a dragon who dwells on the side of the road, looking for those passing by to devour. He added to this by saying that in order to go to the father of souls, it is necessary to past by the dragon. Due to temptation being a difficult obstacle, however, every person does not make it past and…

that impartiality is needed in some cases and having a care system only about close relationships wouldn’t allow that. Meanwhile Utilitarianism has four major flaws, the theory it’s incompatible with justice and privacy, it doesn’t allow for backward looking reasons and disrupts personal relationships. I thought that by joining both of this theory, it could create a balance of having close relationships and being impartial in some cases, since it would overlap the two extremes sides and create a…

What woman would willingly choose to become a single mom? She decided to take on all the responsibilities of being a single parent and still care for others. More often than not Dorothy spent little time caring for Tamar, her daughter, and more so looking out for the homeless. Her views of being a mother disturbed me because she saw it as suffering. “Being a mother is fulfillment, it is surrender to others, it is Love and therefore of course it is suffering” the words of Dorothy as she expressed…

this with a stint in modeling, where again his role was to die. “Remember Custer’s saying? The only good Indian is a dead Indian? Well, from my dealings with whites I would add to that quote: “The only interesting Indian is dead, dying or falling backwards off a horse”p120. This demonstrates that the only places in society deemed appropriate for Native Americans to occupy are of the tragic death or as the object of laughter. However identity is caught up in all of this as Nector furthers the…

The negative and untrue nature of these automatic thoughts show that I have cognitive distortions affecting my ability to stay positive while training, although it is not readily apparent what those cognitive distortions are. Working backwards, we can identify probable immediate and core beliefs that will reveal the degree to which cognitive distortions are influencing my behavior. Since I am upset that I can’t run like I once did and thus shouldn’t run at all, I have the intermediate…

is on sin management. Jesus is viewed more as a get out of Hell free card than the Messiah. A tool, not the King. “Exhibit B… John Piper…asked this question: ‘Did Jesus preach Paul’s gospel?’ This cuts to the heart of the issue, we have got it backwards and don’t even realize it. McKnight defines the “salvation culture and the “Gospel culture.” He clarifies what the Gospel was and is, unchanged, but largely forgotten. In defining the Gospel, McKnight gives us the story of Jesus, he…

commerce company which is the world’s largest online retailer. The company which began as an online book store has since diversified its products to include selling DVD’s, CDs’, software, video games, furniture, food, toys, jewellery and electronics. Looking at the company’s business model, it proves that the company is not a traditional retailer. Retail is only a part of the company and although Amazons products are sold at a standard mark-up, the company has also established alternate retail…

built a friendship. They were so close that she and Robert stayed in contact by sending audiotapes forward and backward to each other all through her unhappy marriage to a police officer. When Bub's wife goes to get the blind man at the train station,…
