No Definite Answer

of their marriage. They were willing to tell me facts and answer my questions openly (almost too open at times). This helped me understand the difference between Fluffy and Rocco as well. It created an opportunity to ask more personal questions about how they struggled and what made them want to change, work as a team and what they were feeling while answering questions about their hardest moments. Fluffy was open and honest with her answers, she would often begin answering the questions until…

Even the regular people in El Valle, they notice it," he said. " They don't tell me, 'What happened to the frogs? We don't hear them calling anymore." (Griffith,25) "What happened to the frogs?" (Griffith, 25) This line alone struck me since it's one of the main points of the book. Griffith asks what happened to the frogs in El Valle, he knew the golden frog was at risk for possible extinction, but had the extinction come sooner then he thought? The golden frog once was an extremly popular…

due to the fact that I knew I was being recorded, or the mere fact that I interviewed a family member. Throughout the interview I was truly focused on “what are the right things to say”, I quickly learned in this session that there is not always a definite right or wrong statement. In this case, it was about perception,…

That way was nice considering she was able to answer all of us and not just one person. We all came up with the questions and some of the questions were answered as we were in the sessions with the children but again some of the answers surprised us. Some of the tutors are actually teachers at another school. They come to Sylvan part-time and teach once a week. Apparently they like to do this…

For as long as one can remember, Philosophers have always tried to answer of what the meaning of life is, or if there is even meaning, but eventually gave up on it because too many factors are implied in answering such a question. In his article, The Meanings of the Questions of Life, John Wisdom challenges the question by presenting some of the factors that might lead some people to think that it is pointless to ask what the meaning of life is before presenting his own opinion that states that…

is everything, so her answer did not seem out of the ordinary, but when I asked her what the American dream meant to her, she answered with something similar but yet very different. She started out by answering that her kids would have a legal status here in this country to be able to work here legally and support their own family. She made it very clear how she wanted them to “have an easier life and be able to have their own dreams come true as well.” Comparing her answers to mine, I can see…

The topic that I was assigned was the affirmative side of gay adoption and initially I thought it would be a nightmare to defend. The only background knowledge that I had on the subject was that it was becoming a more common thing. It was also hard to defend because I was for gay adoption before I was assigned this role. So the question I kept asking my self was how to defend a topic from a different perspective then I am for. Another concern I came across in this topic was trying to stay away…

While most people growing up and attending school received the most recognition when they got correct answers, not questions. As life continues, this incentive continues. In a discussion between comedian Louis C.K. and the creator of the TED conference, Richard Saul Wurman, Wurman makes an interesting comment that, “In school, we are rewarded for having the answer, not for asking a good question. Which may explain why kids—who start off asking endless “why” and “what if” questions—gradually…

As we asked the survey face to face the authenticity was improved because if we had done the survey through google forums people could have given us unnecessary answers which were not useful. There are some downsides of doing this face to face such as the amount of time which it takes to collect the data, as we needed to spend about 5 hours outside YoYo Yogurt to complete our quota. This meant that we had less time…

had time to answer some questions I had for Senior Composition. Thankfully she did, so I asked her the ten questions that had to do with the things that influenced her, but also how she influenced me. My first question was”What/who influenced you to be who you are today, and how did that do so?” In which she replied with “ My mom, she taught me to be loving and caring towards others, and find a place in my heart to help those who are in need.”To be honest I wasn’t surprised with her answer…
