Temple University

As the semester draws to a close, I reluctantly write my final paper for my favorite class of my first ever semester here at George Mason University. For this paper I will discus how my peers and I worked together through out the Deliberative Dialogue project. I’m going to use the Tuckman Model of Group Development because I believe I saw my group transition through these stages more prominently. The Forming Stage, or Stage #1, began the day we got our group assignments and were allowed to get…

Ancient Stories in Popular Culture George Santayana once said that “those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” While Santayana’s quote usually accompanies a discussion about reckless wars and terrible genocides, it can also demonstrate that despite all of our technological and academic advancements, human nature stays the same. Which is why years, decades, even millennia will not change the effect that a great story has on humans. Epic tales of heroism are repeated and…

because the academic and cultural atmosphere at Central Washington University is too thin for me. Sociologist Lev Vygotsky believed that peers play a major role in an individual’s development and learning. The students and friends with whom I grew up were extraordinarily bright, competitive, and creative. In high school, discussions and opinions on almost any subject were spontaneous and interesting. At Central Washington University, the…

After graduating Temple University, I was a young adult who was trying to figure out what business to start. One day I decided…

to unit. One site in particular, the Hsi Lai Temple, does not have the entertainment as the grove or the sculptures of ones work, however it offers much more to one’s knowledge about the meaning of life. Whether it is its history that intrigues one’s mind, the structure and design that persuades tourists to visit, or the temples purpose to serve to the community, the Hsi Lai Temple is one attraction to visit.

The layout of the ‘Academical Village’ of the University of Virginia was based on symmetry, which meant that the design of the West and East side of the campus was very similar. From the north, we can see the Rotunda as the focal point of the area. Each floor of the Rotunda serves different purposes; from the top, it serves as a library, lecture hall, as well as science laboratory. To the south of the Rotunda, we can find the lawn, which stretches from the Rotunda to the end of the complex. On…

The three locations that I will use in my paper are my bedroom, the Buddhist temple at no. 5 and Williams road in South Arm, and Wesbrook Village on UBC’s campus. These sites all represent different aspects of human geography, and therefore, enable me to give a far more varied analysis of the locations. The geographical concepts that will be applied to these three sites are gentrification, cultural landscape, and sense of place. Gentrification will aid in showing how UBC’s campus is rapidly…

the Syria-Turkey border. The distance from Urfa, the city to the southwest with a population of half a million, to the hill is only a few miles. This Turkish site is called Göbekli Tepe and was first discovered in 1963 by an archaeologist from the University of Chicago, Peter Benedict. Benedict saw the tops of what we now know to be pillars, but believed them to be gravestones. Subsequently, he dismissed the site as being an Islamic cemetery. As a result, one of the oldest architectural sites…
