Kathryn Schulz On Being Wrong

I can candidly say that Wrongology by Kathryn Schulz is an enlightening read. The author puts forward her case for wrongology – a complicated subject throwing light upon all facets of being wrong and at fault. Her foundation being that people have been wrong about being wrong to start with. It’s no doubt delightful to be right, it uplifts our ego and that in a way is crucial for our survival. Seemingly according to Kathryn Schulz even though being wrong may be embarrassing it is critical for our personal development. Error is a part of human nature and cannot be terminated. If our choices are wrong, what we have to do is to review those choices and learn from them, eventually making better ones. Therefore one should not be afraid of making a mistake or being wrong. Mistakes help us revise our understandings and help us

When the oldest siblings were able to have jobs they helped my parents with bills at home. My parents never forced them to help but because they always helped us when we were in need my siblings and I always felt like it was our duty to return the good that our parents had done for us. No one complained and no one ever denied my parents when they needed something. To this day my oldest siblings will still

A belief is defines a true statement, something that exists, or the trust and faith in someone or something. We all have beliefs and have obtained those believes individually in many different ways and whose to say that belief is right or wrong, or true or false. As with a myth, a traditional story, mostly believed to be a false idea or false believe.

I recently read two articles: “The Really Big One” and “How to Stay Safe When the Big One Comes”. Both articles were written by an American journalist, Kathryn Schultz in July of 2015.

I can honestly say taht I found Margaret Kantz article very relatable. the reason for this is that I find myself to fit the profile of Shirley, the average college student. I am very similar to her because I often find myself throwing caution to the wind and looking through research without ever wondering if what i am reading is true. In a sense, I am bypassing the research part and simply believing everything that fits my argument or answers my questions. I am typically unable to make connections between sources of information and create my own original claim.

* Your Christian/Other worldview – this implies that you understand your worldview and clearly define how it relates to the theories discussed.

What is a world view? A worldview is an individual’s view on life. It is the philosophy with which we live. It makes us who we are and is shaped by our experiences, culture, and background (Smith, 2015). A worldview is fluid, it changes as we change and discover our identities. It is made up of the questions that humans may ask to determine their wealth to the world or their purpose in life. Our worldview can make us gravitate toward other individuals with similar beliefs. It is a unifying factor in our day to day interactions with people and the world as a whole. It is the way that we determine what is “considered meaningful, what is worth doing, and which causes may require sacrifice”

The Really Big One by Kathryn Schulz has won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2015. This article talks about the potential “really big one” on that could happen on the Cascadia fault line. This article is a great example of effective writing. Schulz considers her audience, gives context to her writing, effectively informs her audience. The audience of this article is the American people.

In her novel entitled Doubt, Jennifer Hecht concurs with this opinion that Emily Dickinson's works portray her faithlessness and her doubts put cracks in the Christian theology to a point where she no longer believes in the religion. Hecht quotes Dickinson's statement saying, "that doubts as fervently as it believes" (Hecht 425). The author also states that Dickinson grew up in a time of revivalism, yet never conformed or publicly admitted to the acceptance of the Church. Therefore, the ambiguity of Dickinson's faith only became more inherent, and questionable (Hecht 426). As a result, Hecht concludes that doubt was the lifestyle that Dickinson lived, instead of faith. He states that her writing became evidence of the fact that her profession was to doubt, and she never had certainty in her religion; quoting Dickinson, he states, "The Hand is amputated now-/ and God cannot be found" (Hecht 426). Hetch presented the evidence that clearly the amount of doubt presented by Dickinson would not allow for a faith in

Today’s society consists of many worldviews. Most people tend to pull beliefs from different religions, but often stick to one main worldview. A worldview to me is the gathering of beliefs that shape what we do on a daily basis and forms our overall view on life. When I look at my beliefs critically, I am able to see my worldview and see how it compares to different worldviews, but also how it compares mainly to the Christian Worldview.

     Due to the fact that my father was now on his own and trying to raise three children (my older brother from my father’s first marriage), he had to take a different position at his work. Although he was getting a raise it wasn’t necessarily a good thing. He had to start working the night shift so he could get the raise. He didn’t really have a choice in the matter and because of this new change, I began to lose valuable time with him as well. It was now up to my brother to watch over us at night and make sure we got to bed on time. If there was any trouble or and problems in general, my brother would call my grandmother. For three years my dad worked that job and every night he would stay up after he got home to see us. He would make my sister and I breakfast and make we were off to school on time. This meant the world to me because no matter what he always made time for us.

My ex-husband (X) and I sort of fell into business together, and it is an interesting story. The X had been working for Penn Garage for 7 years for a man named Lou Weiner, who was in his 70's at the time, who had owned it since the 1940's. Lou took it over from an old man that owned it since the building opened in the 1920's. Lou had promised X that he would sell him the building and business which was then located on the corner of 13th and Pennsylvania, next to the Molly Brown house, hence the name The Penn Garage. Lou was getting ready to retire and X had been tooling up for when we took over. We just had our second child on January 3, 1997 when Lou shocked us on February 14, 1997 that he sold the building to
