Family is a grand thing, and I think that is the reason that God created it the way he did. It’s full of many members that come together to love and care about one another. Maybe I’m partial, but I think that my family is the best. Family dinner once a week and twice on holidays, worshiping together at our church, coming together with people that you love is an amazing thing. We tell each other about our week, and our older relatives tell us of how things used to be. The stories are one of my favorite parts. Countless stories are passed down through the generations in every family. Tales that tell of how we came to be and the trials that ancestors before us went through and learned from. Every family’s story is unique, including mine. The story my family tells most often, is the story of Phillip Hamman.

My family is composed of my father, mother, a younger sister, an older sister, who unfortunately passed away, and myself. I grew up being the oldest child, for my oldest sister passed away before I was born. Although, I never got to meet my older sister her absence has taught me to value the importance of family.

The narratives of Harriet Jacobs and Frederick Douglas were nothing short of powerful as their unique resilience reflected a gruesome upbringing that would then influence audiences everywhere. Immediately the reader is introduced to the gendered distinctions in narratives as Douglas has letters and statements of prominent men reinforce the validity of his work while Jacobs is forced to create a pleading tone for acknowledgement of her experience as a female slave. Although slavery was an excruciating experience that unjustly plagued millions of African Americans, gender roles and constructs allowed for distinct offenses that forced women to experience unique abuse relative to their male counterparts. The narratives of Harriet Jacobs and Frederick Douglas reinforced the trials of slavery with examples of educational hardship, physical trauma and differing aspirations of freedom. These factors and a few others such as motherhood and masculinity influenced their legacy in context of slavery as a gendered experience.

During the 1800s, slaves received treatment comparable to that of livestock. They were mere possessions of white men stripped of almost every last bit of humanity in them. African-Americans were constricted to this state of mind by their owners vicious treatment, but also the practice of keeping them uneducated. Keeping the slaves illiterate hindered them from understanding the world around them. Slave owners knew this. The slaves who were able to read and write always rebelled more against their masters. Frederick Douglass, author of "A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," and Harriet Jacobs, author of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," were prime examples. Both slaves had been taught how read and write at a young

Technology has a huge impact on everyone. Despite the variety of age groups, we have all become dependent on using technology throughout our lives. With the use of smartphones, alarm clocks, headphones, and so forth, we have started to invest tech into our everyday lifestyle, where it is now a social norm. As we are moving rapidly into a tech-based world, the use of technology has been incorporated into classrooms. Teachers have introduced PowerPoints, chatrooms, online assignments and much more to make the classroom run smoothly and help students accomplish more from their learning. However, problems can arise with technology usage in the classroom. Through students being able to access technology, they can become distracted

This is a true story of two men. And while not able to contain their whole lives in a few small pages, much of their story will be told. The names of these two men are Henry Weeks Sanderson, and Edward Hunter. Sanderson: a previous member of the Mormon Battalion and mayor of Fairview, Utah. Edward Hunter: the third presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and body guard to the LDS Prophet Joseph Smith. These are only some of the major accomplishments and personas linked to the listed men. These two people have changed my history, and the history of countless others. Henry is my fourth Great Grandfather and Edward (while significantly more distant a relative) is my fourth Cousin nine times removed. There is much

Just before Charles died, Bishop LeGrand Richards of their Sugarhouse Ward came to the house with his counselors to give Charles and Sarah blessings.

Sargent was a friend of the girls’ parents, Edward Darley Boit and Mary Louisa Cushing Boit. Edward Boit was a Harvard-trained lawyer, but left his profession to become a painter and Louisa Boit gained a large inheritance from her family who had the legacy of Boston’s China trade. Although they were originally from Boston, Louisa was a very social and vivacious woman who preferred to live in Europe rather than the United States and the painting was painted in France in their elegant house on the avenue of Friedland in the eighth arrondissement, a very luxurious neighborhood much preferred by wealthy Americans. Mr. and Mrs. Boit went to Sargent to paint the portrait of their daughters and when Edward and Louisa first approached Sargent to

I define family by a group of people that communicate on regular basic, care for each other, and love each other unconditionally. I think that I was able to construct that definition when I realized that my “relatives” weren’t related to me at all. And then realized I talk to the people who I was related to all more than the people who were considered “blood”. I’ve never been to a family house where I have considered them perfect, every family has their personal issues as well as their own strength.

William James and John Dewey are well-known for their contributions to early psychology. Both were highly influential in the transition from mental philosophy to scientific psychology. This transition involved moving from a narrow focus of consciousness structure to the psychological study of the purpose, and processes of human functioning. These psychologists used their own reflections to attempt the separation of conscious experience into elements.

Robert Greenleaf and James Hunter are both experts when it comes to leadership. Greenleaf coined the term “servant leadership” and published his first essay regarding this topic in 1970. Hunter is a world renowned author and speaker because of his leadership forte, and has worked with thousands of business executives on developing leadership skills that create successful businesses (Hunter 1998). Both of these men are distinguished professionals because of their philosophies and approaches to efficacious leadership, but they each have a different approach of how they present and represent these ideas.

When anything goes wrong or bad in my life, my family is always there for me. Whenever my family goes through something bad, I am there for him/her. I believe we are in this life together and this belief deepens my sense of meaning. Personal suffering is a

On the other hand, you do not get to choose your family, you just have to deal with them. The true definition of a family is a group of people usually of the same blood, but do not always have to be. I have a large family. I have two sets of grandparents, two great-grandparents, two parents, two brothers, three uncles, one aunt, one

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
