Worse is better

The streets of France, they may as well be the only thing that lives past this time. Everything and everyone else will come to an end sooner or later. It is just too chaotic in this country. All this self-proclaimed “servant of the people”, Napoleon, has done for us is creating more disorder and injustice. He came into picture some time after the Reign of Terror and Robespierre. Before his uprising, France used to be somewhat abysmal and a place where anyone could die for a small “mistake” at…

exponentially more important than social order. Individual freedoms let you choose where you are in the social order. The social order is a set of guidelines that let you barely succeed, once you break enough of this guidelines then you will succeed better than anyone in your social order. According to Apa.org, the higher class you are in, the more independent you are. "By contrast, those who enjoy more resources and greater class status live in contexts that enhance their personal power and…

feel we had been one of the first teams to finish putting us ahead on the scoreboard. All I could feel was exhilaration until I heard “Garner Trojan team disqualified”. JROTC is a program which sets to give the cadets the essentials to becoming better citizens; it offers the opportunity to be the best person one can be. The raider team is no exception, it's a sport that requires mental and physical strength, it tests a person's capability of handling stress and working with others towards a…

when thinking of poor endurance are respiratory issues, cardiac issues, and general fatigue caused by other diseases or medications. With respiratory issues in children, the primary excluding factor would be a severe respiratory problem that becomes worse when exposed to dust or dirt as many hippotherapy treatments are conducted in arenas with dirt floors and may exacerbate the breathing difficulties. Depending on the type of condition, weather may also need to be taken into account as some…

One day, my accuracy scores are great and I am feeling encouraged. The next day, it’s like we are back at square one. I never had this issue with the open mic. My accuracy always got better and I always ended my practice feeling encouraged. When working with the open mic, my accuracy scores were at 96% or higher. When working with the voice mask, my accuracy scores seemed to plummet! My initial scores seemed be in the low to mid 90s…

customers are dissatisfied with the way they are being treated. It seems that the training for the crew members seems to be lacking. We have talked to our employees and asked what they need from us and their answers were standard, we need to be trained better. In order to do this, I am doing some research into which would be the best way to accommodate this. In my opinion, when customers and crew realize that there needs to be a change we need to listen to both customer and crew members. I am…

What new skills did you gain? As I worked on my ISP throughout this course, I used note taking skills, I used prior knowledge and I also made sure to read the title of each chapter to predict what was going to happen. Firstly, I believe that I was able to improve on my note taking skills because since I already had a thesis in mind, I was able to find the most important events and quotes prove my statement. This also allowed me to take relevant and focused notes. Secondly, by using information…

attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired” (Emerson 16). By this, Emerson is saying that people who are unhappy with their lives depend on others for satisfaction, but aren’t satisfied, and when people suffer, their life gets worse because they cannot think positive, they only think about their sufferings. On the other hand, when people become self-reliant, their condition improves and suffering is reduced. I agree with Emerson’s ideas about self-reliance, and I say that…

This semester I was once again enrolled in DA 401. Over the course of this semester, I have worked conscientiously to improve my dancing through a concentration on various technical components. I feel like I was already more successful at some of these components than others, so I decided to focus on some of the other components that were more vital to my dancing and that I needed the most improvement in. Of the many technical aspects of ballet technique, I chose to focus on four – strength,…

as good at this as I thought.” As I finished my first dictation in a long time with the mask, I was waiting for the accuracy score to read 94 or 95% because that is what I am used to seeing. I was very pleasantly surprised to see scores or 98% or better! This was the encouragement that I needed. I worked with the Open Mic for the rest of the week and then switched back to the mask with a lot more confidence. I now plan on alternating weeks between the mask and the open…
