world around him and he sees so much corruption and hypocrisy that he feels forced to change his perception of people. However, the deeper he is sucked into this reality, the less reliable he becomes. Nick knows all about the lying and deception that dominate these relationships. However, he gives the impression that he is very comfortable with this situation. Often, he does not reveal everything he knows. Despite his involvement, Nick shows no sign of moral sensitivity.

E. “With 1500 of them out there converting 2 Chinamen apiece per annum against an uphill birthrate of 33,000 pagans per day, it will take upwards of a million years to make the conversions balance the output…” (Twain 4) This quote comes from Mark Twain’s essay entitled “The United States of Lyncherdom”; for Twain, a southern man, to write such a liberal essay at the time when lynching was popular is really quite a bold move. Unfortunately it was not published until after his death for he feared…

them for 3 years. Nobody really got much sleep that night, but the next morning all of us seemed to be ready to start helping out in the relief. We drove about an hour north from the capital city of Islamabad and we were instructed to park our car and walk to a big tent. When we got there we finally got to meet Ali the guy we had been communicating with and sending money to help with the relief efforts. We were introduced to a few other aid people and we were given boxes that needed to be…

the eyes of the Italian immigrants, Capone was a community leader. Capone won people over with his elegance, he was high-class and he acted that way (Al Capone). Capone’s self-promotion was not just considered in the idea of his business, he put so much effort into his image and his life that he left a lasting impression on many Americans, even to this day. Capone left a lasting legacy on Chicago and the rest of America. Capone even created an allusion with his name that would stick around…

bottles of Rose Champagne, three bottles of Ciroc and one bottle of Ace of Spade? And oh yeah, make sure you light a sparkler with it too, ma, because it’s a celebration tonight.” After placing his order, he peeled off sixteen hundred dollar bills. “This should take care of it I would think. And please no change, you deserve a tip,” Zo said, involuntarily…

consultation and supervision regarding ethical decisions (Gonyea et al., 2014; Herlihy & Corey, 2014; Levitt et al., 2015). These types of relationships create a safe space for counselors to work through their dilemmas while being guided by a colleague. This outside perspective allows for the counselor to become aware of different options she has or facets she missed. In consultation, Clare will become more aware of her options for making a decision. In receiving an outsider’s opinion, she can…

the present moment. The most important concepts I absorbed this semester include the power and importance of ones growth mindset, ones approach to S.T.E.P, and the significance of a balanced life. Easily one of my favorite quotes from Gina this year has to be “Do not hold onto thoughts that do not allow your mind to move forward.” I feel this quote is essential to the class because so much of our lives are created in what we think at this very moment. Mindfulness is what I will carry forward…

can be changed. The text posed the following question, “Why do people act in ways that are difficult to understand, disturbing to others, and even destructive to self, others, and property?”(Janney, Snell, 5). This question really made me reflect on my own experiences as a teacher in working with students who have been distracted and/or hard to understand. I started to think back as to why the students…

I love music that make my feet, my hips, and all my body move just by the starting sound of the music. For instance, I have being doing Zumba for about a year. Zumba is a great way to get your sweat on. It is a mixture of salsa, merengue, hip hop, mambo, etc. It incorporates dance with abercrombie component. The sessions last around an average of one hour. That one hour does not feel like an hour it felt less than a hour. You…
