There is many reasons to feel uncomfortable with yourself. Society does not let you be what you want to be. Our culture and beliefs controls our minds. Even though, we are all just human beings, we are not treated by that idea because we have labels in our bodies that say that we are different. Somehow being different means that you deserve other treatments. In America we will notice discrimination towards the “weak”. Sometimes we won’t noticed that we are in fact supporting something that is offensive…

I feel as though I have really grown as a writer because of this class. Before taking W131, I always had a hard time trying to put my thoughts down on paper in a way that made sense. No matter how many times I would rewrite my past papers I never seemed to be able to convey my thoughts and beliefs accurately. This course really has taught me the importance of prewriting and revising. Before, I would simple sit down and stare at a blank computer screen and just kind of start typing and what I ended…

I feel Rosenberg has done an extremely thorough job in presenting his case and disproving his constructed opposition, but as with any writing: it is not perfect, problems are not unilateral, and analysis will always contain some of the author 's biases. The social change someone sees is dependent on how and what they consider social progress. I think this book and the type of critical thinking it both employes and inspires is necessary to the study of law and society, but it is certainly not the…

and management and might also set a precedence that a coworker would not have to work with whomever they want to. For these reasons I feel it is important for mediating the discussion to come up with a proposed solution in which precedence is not set creating additional conflict thus a counterproductive work environment for reasons of gossiping and backstabbing. I feel mediation is a more effective approach to the discussion for reasons of the end result of the conversation is going to affect the workplace…

All I can do is sit still as if I 'm paralyzed. I stare straight ahead at the casket in front of the altar. People sobbing is the only thing I can hear. I feel singled out because I 'm the only one not crying. I 've never been able to cry at funerals; That 's one of my quirks. A few days earlier, I was woken up by my mother at four in the morning. Her light sniffles made me feel sick to my stomach because I knew what was coming next. She could barely choke the horrifying words out, "Sammi 's gone…

I feel the author has over simplified the issues in some of his views and picked some extreme examples in this chapter. According to the author, American churches with their theology have promoted an “alternate reality” which has no connection to the real world. People view Christianity as a set of instructions for the invisible “heavenly” realm but not for the visible, physical world. How Churches Create Alternate Realities Doug Murren really gets on his “soapbox” in this section. He believes…

I had lost who I believed I was as well as my potential for who I thought I had the capacity to become. My sense of life purpose and direction became unknown to me, as I felt resigned to accept the fate that I may not, after all, be “good enough” for a meaningful career or one that required intellectual and critical thought, things which I felt I previously had to offer. Never one for drugs or alcohol, my main hurdle was my anxiety and cognitive distortions of not believing I was capable of anything…

I Feel Therefore I Am Have you ever met that one person that is never in a good mood? Always sleeping, never eating or just walks around like a zombie? Depression can alter multiple different aspects of your social, behavioral and professional life. If depression was to go untreated it could lead to serious life altering changes which in turn could drive you deeper in to the depressed state. It has been proven that while depressed people are affected with poor concentration and indecisiveness.…

I’m lost. The boat I was on, was headed to China with the latest shipment from the states. It was my first trip from the states, first time working on a cargo ship. We were on our sixth day at sea, when a storm started brewing. The whole day it was eerily quiet, the waters were really calm, and we were flying through the water. The storm didn’t hit until my shift was over and I went to go below deck to sleep. I fell asleep to the violent waves crashing against the boat, and the thunder booming…

When listening to the song I feel excitement, it brings forth a sense of joy and of nostalgia from my youth. As a girl scout and a daughter of a firefighter I attended many parades and festivals. These were generally in small American towns during the summer so patriotic songs were prevalent. Upon listening to the words now I gather a sense of pride, of national strength and a almost uncontrollable urge to call to arms so to speak for the ideals I support. That’s a figurative call to arms but still…
