to develop a PLC celebration I found out a good deal of information that concerned me. The majority of the school within the Wake County Public Schools System do not conduct PLC celebration. If a school does celebrate a PLC it is on an individual subject basis and not as a whole school. The schools that do/have conducted a PLC do not celebrate on a continuous bases. Therefore, I was basically starting this process from scratch. My first step was to meet with the principal to determine what the…
Susan Wolf‘s theory on how one live their lives is one subject that will be talked about in the days to come. She explains that the meaning to finding one’s happiness is through giving back to others in need and finding your passion. Although her statements may be true, she fails to mention anything about personal satisfaction. What is it about our personal satisfaction that would help us find meaning into our lives? Can our own personal success in life be sufficient enough to live a…
There is no objectively correct answer on matters of ethics, as each individual has their own perspective on any given situation. The idea of a ‘Ulysses pact’ is an ethical issue that permeates fields ranging from medicine to literature. In these situations, a decision is made freely before the person undergoes drastic change that affects their initial decision. Although controversy brings forth the argument of whether or not the decision originally made is binding, there should be no debate. An…
Reel Talk: Hole in the Head” The event that I went to was about a documentary on a man called Vertus Hardiman. Mr. Hardiman was a special person because at the age of 5 he was one of the nine children who was part of an experiment. When the local county hospital was about to take the children, their parents were informed that the children are getting treatments in order to get rid of the ringworm that was on their head and part of their body. During this period, the disease was a serious issue…

I believed reading the lyrics of a song would give a good baseline comparison for what each subject felt was sexist in the song. To reduce possible order effects, each subject was told that the interview was about sexism in popular music when they were recruited and when the interview began. They first listened to the song, then made comments on it. Each subject rated their enjoyment of the song from 1-10, was asked to explain that rating, and if necessary, was asked to speak…
persons are ethical and moral objects. As such, the development of Homo sapiens into ethonomous, moral persons must coincide with aging, cultural or religious influence and development of mental processes. Therefore, this essay will attempt to organize the actualization of personhood with the natural life stages of Homo sapiens. The development will track human beings as they transition through states of the autonomous rational substance, the rational ethical subject, and lastly the ethonomous…
go totally wrong and the subject to escape! We discover that the subject represents a cigarette and its appearance is meant to strike fear into those who come in contact with it. While this commercial is only thirty seconds long, it leaves a feeling of dread and terror. The media definitely succeeded in its goal to persuade with this commercial. The opening scene is in a bleak science classroom full of students taking notes as their teacher explains details of a subject laying upon an…
person ( not the original requester), without knowledge of the outcome of the first experiment, initiated the second inquiry (Jonathan L. Freedman, 1966). The small request asked of the subjects to sign a petition for either safe driving or in keeping California beautiful. The bigger request asked of the subjects to install a large grotesque poster which said “ Drive Carefully” (Jonathan L. Freedman, 1966). The purpose of the second petition was to test for unrelated requests. In this study, the…
In the second half of Rachel Kushner’s The Flamethrowers displays a subject and issue that allows to view the ideas, feelings, perspectives, or attitudes that is surrounded. In this case psychology is seen as the main subject to emphasize what is being brought up. However, the subject of psychology can be also be involved in issues such as buried pain/anger, the physical environment, violence, relationships, and identity. The feeling of buried pain/anger brings in a strong feeling of annoyance,…
