Soldiers deserve honor and recognition for defending the freedom of the United States. Because they risk their lives so other Americans do not have to, we rightfully thank soldiers for their service. People generally regard honoring soldiers as respectful, and demonstrates that Americans value the soldier’s sacrifices for our country. However, for some people commending soldiers often includes more about their own personal gain and self-esteem than about respecting the soldier. Some people use…

This is the final topic that will be addressed by me, on whether or not Daniel Dennett from the short story “Where am I?” should receive a new body or not from NASA. I have been chosen to analyze this situation and give my recommendation to the court on these philosophical matters. The last issue is to determine what, if anything, does Daniel Dennett deserve. To narrow that down some, the more precise objective of this question is to determine if Dennett deserves to be given a new body, or…

While in class last week I had this light bulb that went off in my head that made me realize it was always meant for me to work with kids. I used to think I hated other people's kids and I couldn't stand to be around underclassmen. But all this time God has been guiding me in preparation for what my purpose in life really is. All this time I've been ignoring my purpose and I didn’t realize it until I watched one of my classmate’s 1st therapy session. Sitting behind the mirror I couldn’t shake…

According to Stark, not talking to strangers causes the opportunity to create unexpected connections. She said people do not talk to strangers because of our fears. Her speech concluded with Stark encouraging people use their senses instead of fears and outlining the steps of how to appropriately talk to strangers.…

Rhonda woke up to the sound of her alarm she set for herself at 3am and knew exactly what she had to do today. She grabbed her taser and tucked it inside her leather jacket and as she walked out of the door she grabbed her bag with her gun and silencer inside (just in case). **** On her way to her car she called Ashton on her phone. It took two rings for her to pick up. "Hello? Rhonda?" "I'm doing it today, Aston, TODAY" Ashton sighed loudly on the other line. "Alright Rhonda I know I can't…

Back then, a plate with food on it could never be traded for another plate that has food on it, for a clean one must come in between. We no longer eat from a shared dish but are each served. It is now considerably friendly for people to give each other “tastes” from their plates. Proper customs used to involve four places to be laid at a table’s four sides, even when eating alone! I wonder if this was more of a ritual or a way for people to feel less lonely? Struggles between men and women are…

On a typical Wednesday night in Bloomington, a couple of my old friends from high school, Kasandra Rieckers, Brycelyn Ruddick, and Kourtney Branaman, and I went to the IU volleyball game against Purdue. After the game, we went back to Kasandra and Brycelyn’s dorm room to talk about our Halloween costumes. The conversations of people that have known each other for a long time and see each other often will vary a lot from the conversations of people that do not see each other as often. These field…
