week 9

I feel that it is important for children to learn to lose because it builds character and teaches them sportsmanship. I also feel that all children need to learn what it means to loose, because failure is always a possibility and nobody wins all of the time. There are so many children that feel that they are owed something and they also feel that they should not work hard for things. In life people are not obligated to achieve things, so I feel that children need to learn that with the good things come the bad things.

week 9

I feel that people should learn from history because if they don’t they will repeat the same mistakes. I think that when people didn’t learn from the signs of Hitler and his holocaust, they remembered later when Africa had the Genocide. I think that there are signs that are displayed and when we as a society choose to ignore these sign we learn once again in tragic ways. I also feel that when we forget what too much power does to a person we remember in tragic ways. Castro for many years has kept his people oppressed and finally after all those years they have been given some opportunities to make decisions.

Week 9

I feel that a lie is a moral puzzle, because when you tell one like you usually have to cover that lie up with another. Soon the lies start to build up and one has to make sure that each lie fits neatly with the other one. It is often said that one lie spawns another and so on. Also the lies that are told affect people other than the person who is telling them. These lies also can cause chaos and drama on a larger level. Lies are like a puzzle because things are not always what they seem to be, and just when you think all the pieces fit you find that you have missed something.

week 8

Sometimes in life all we have are appearances. Sometime people never really let you get to know them so the only thing that a person can do is go by what they say. Also we tend to believe that if a person is beautiful on the outside then they are also beautiful on the inside. I feel that in the technology age we are use to things coming easily and without much effort. So instead of getting to know a person for who they are we tend to take the fast approach and look on the outside for what is within.

week 8

We ascribe values and status to a job by the amount of power and money a person has. Two things that a people find most appealing are power and money. This is because if a person has power then they can dictate to other anything that they want. Power gives a person control and a lot of people want to control to feel important. The other is money, because if a person has money they can do things that the average person cannot. If a person has a job that pays then a lot of money, that person can then live a life that many others cannot imagine living. With these things in consideration, as long as you have money and power your job will always be one of value.

week 8

There are several things that one should know about the interview process. The first is when you find out about your interview you should read as much as you can about the company and the position that you are applying for. The applicant should be well read on these subjects in case the employer want to know what the applicant knows. The next thing that the applicant should know is how to dress for success. Perception is everything and if you give the impression that you are a well educated then people will view you as such. Also any tattoos or piercing that are showing should be covered up or concealed.

week 8

I feel that we pay a big price for progress. I also feel that we sometimes give up things in order to achieve progress. Right now we are giving up several soldiers’ lives in order to obtain peace and order in another part of the world. There are always causalities in war and sometimes we have to weather the storm in order to see the progress. Unfortunately, we are not always around to see the outcome of the sacrifice that we have made.
