similar to big foot going in the water and all I can remember is my sister screaming to high heavens back to the house. When we told our parents about our encounter with big foot, our parents looked at each other with silence then stated: “Did you get pictures?” and moments later I could hear them laughing as they were walking away. To this day my parents ask me if I have seen Big Foot. Though it may seem lighthearted to remember, these memories are ones I’ll never let go. They’re what make me…
everyone in this current generation because it’s true that in today’s world, we are lacking in patience (one of our ancestor’s important, key values).

The idea that parents are to blame for our faults and failings is one that does not sit well with many, but in Philip Larkin’s “This Be the Verse,” he goes on to declare just that. From victim to offender, people pass down their faults and wrongdoings from one generation to the next. Human nature will never change, and misery will forever thrive. Not one generation can be blamed for the faults they have, yet each generation passes down their faults and wrongdoings to the next.This means…

In some societies, such as Deir el Medina, Egyptian women enjoyed the same legal, economic, and social rights as Egyptian men, but also played a key role in caring for their children. Ancient Egyptian secular poetry from this community indicates the important role of the mother in the love lives of her children and…

The Army Ethic what is it? How does it relate to the Army values? A quote I found off the CAPE Website summed up everything in maybe two sentences. “The Army Ethic. Our professional ethic is expressed in law, Army Values, creeds, oaths, ethos, and shared beliefs embedded within Army culture. It inspires and motivates the conduct of Army Professionals.” I would like to think the Army Ethic mirrors the Army Values that you can’t have one and not have the other, both must be present in order for…
