As a Student Leader in the Grinnell Dining Hall, a large part of my job is to make a safe work environment for our workers. This includes monitoring the music we play in the dishroom. Oftentimes, I find myself only catching explicit, sexist, or racist lyrics as a song ended, leaving me wondering what I missed. This spurred my interest in the possibility of sexist content going unnoticed or unprocessed in music, and the possible consequences this might have. In this paper, I will seek to explore…

Combined with higher unit costs, the Carnival Corporation’s operating margin dropped from 11% to 9% in 2013 (Overview: Royal Caribbean Cruises, the 2nd largest cruise…

Throughout The Cost of Discipleship you are able to see the main messages Bonhoeffer is trying to make with each chapter. The main themes I am going to be writing about in this paper start with the type of grace you are trying to receive from God whether it is cheap or costly. The next theme would be the type of obedience Bonhoeffer talks about it being single-minded and the obedience they give. In this book Bonhoeffer talks a lot about discipleship and how it is shown from both the individual…

Ragamuffin Gospel Reflection Reading the Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning was a challenge; while I agreed with his thoughts and feeling the style in which it was written I found to be very cumbersome. Then this feeling of being critical of the writing made me feel guilty because the subject and the topic is so important and many individuals give the book very high reviews. I much prefer a local Springfield, Missouri author named Jennifer Rothschild; Jennifer is a nationally renowned author…

There were several important themes in Paul’s Epistles the three that are significant to my church and/ or personal life is as follows justification, grace, and faith. Justification has taken many years to totally understand for my walk with Christ. It has been really hard to grasp onto the fact that I do not have to do everything myself. All I have to do is give everything to Jesus and he will be there to help me through whatever it is that I am facing. Last year my husband was in a life…

The most important criteria that I have is probably the environment and campus life of the school. My biggest worry is getting to college and not being able to find people that I can fit in with, and the campus culture being very different than mine. Along with the culture, I also like a very small environment and class size. I feel like with a smaller student body and class size, students can connect better with one another and with professors, which I really want in a college. Environment can…

Living at home? But I’m in College! One of the first major decisions we have to make after college acceptance is deciding where to live. The most common choice college students seem to make is moving into a dorm. Moving into a dorm and gaining the freedom college offers is a rite of passage for young adults. However, the excitement and freedom dorm life offers may work for some students but others may find it more difficult. Living at home can be a good alternative for students who may not find…
