The Way Home

contradictory is Laozi’s claim that order is created through a spiritual law produced by an entity he calls “Dao” or the Way. At a glance Laozi’s philosophy seems far too mystical to have similarities with Mozi, but they actually have far more in common when it comes to how they believe a government should be run. The ideal state in both Daoist, and Mohist thought operate in such a way that they are highly similar, not so much as explicit structure, but more so in the underlying roots of…

Your parents are the ones who teach you to walk, talk, and everything else we must learn to do in life. I feel that all of my habitual ways of dealing with conflict come from my family members. I learned that both my mother and father handle conflicts in different ways. They both try to avoid conflicts, and I do the same. I feel that my parents raised me in a way that fighting is never the answer to a conflict. When a conflict does arise, I search for opportunities to work through them and end…

have to totally disagree with the way technology and surveillance are going to be approached. One of the main reasons would be because more than likely you would be “looked at” from the camera’s point of view from the way you dressed, physical traits, and even possibly the color of skin. To which I strongly disagree, no one should be more scrutinized while on the street just because of their appearance. I think that should be considered racism to a certain…

There are hundred ways that you can die while behind the wheel, but I believe there is one specific way that is easily the worst way; while on the cell phone. There are many deaths that cannot be controlled while behind the wheel, but if your death is due to lack of attention to the road that is easily the worst way of death. This picture shows that talking on the phone while driving causes of your own death. This picture is a perfect way of showing how pathos is used. The way that it is…

The everyday social norm that my friends and I were trying to violate simply had to do with the way that people act in a general retail store. Putting a little twist into just taking things from peoples carts, we instead would be walking by a person with a cart and purposely trip over their cart and dramatically fall to the ground. Also we would run into isles of pretty much anything that couldn’t break open. Generally just making a scene, something that you wouldn’t see on an every day basis.…

you consider things from his point of view-- until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”. This is a great way that Atticus lives his life, because it is impossible to fully understand why a person is the way they are until one has been in their skin and has seen the things that they have seen and experienced. Atticus Finch is a very honorable person because of the ways that he models his personal values, for specifically Scout and Jem to see and they will bring these pieces of advice…

clothes and of course helps you to know how to do laundry. Do you want to be that college freshman that doesn't know how to wash their clothes? Helping with cooking basic things like pasta can help you later in life when your mom isn't there to make you home cooked meals. Another good aspect would be knowing when to stop. An example would be if you are watching videos and you know you have to do the dishes you have to do them so you have self control. Instead if you get paid then you can choose…

last several decades, a few changes that have taken place include; mothers working outside the home, fathers participating more in childcare and household duties, and single parenthood. Decades earlier the traditional role of women was that of the primary caregiver and homemaker. Women did not work apart…

Gender Inequalities in Children’s Everyday Life How did the color pink, butterflies, dresses, makeup and dolls become a symbol of a girl’s? Why do we relate GI joes, dinosaurs, camouflage, the color blue, and dirt to boys? Why are boys thought of as the stronger sex and girls as the weaker sex? Why are certain everyday household activities deemed unmanly or manly? We are hurting our children by forcing societal gender roles upon them by telling/showing them what to wear, what toys to play with…

While growing up the foodwork within my household was not shared equally among both my parents. Even with a full-time job, my mom did both lunch, and dinner cooking; my mom would prepare lunch before she left for work early morning. When cooking my mom would do everything from start to the end without any help, which included washing, cutting, cooking, and the cleaning-up process. After watching my mom be the primary homemaker, I have learned to accept that this is a requirement for all women,…
