Living in Our Cause: Today I found my LOC story on the Wellness floor. I got to talk to John. He’s about 65 years old and one of the fittest people I see on a day to day bases at the Y. I spoke with him about why he comes to our Y day in and day out. He goes on to explain that his favorite childhood hero was Mohammed Ali.

Psychology is a science that has different fields and subfields. It’s also an evolving science that keeps changing and many fields are added to constantly. What holds these fields and unifies them is something called “the five enduring issues.” The five Enduring issues are the backbone that holds psychology together. These issues are shared by all psychologists as a common interest and overlap in all fields and subfields of psychology.
Many athletes are just that, athletes. The crowd cheers as they hit a home run or they make the shot. They’re known for their performance on the field and only the field. Instead of realizing the importance of their voice or their actions, they decide to suppress their own voices, choosing to bask in the glory they receive due to their performance during a game. It’s easy to fall into the mindset that all athletes fall under this category of ignorance or better yet indifference. Although a majority of them represent this group, there a handful that dedicates their time and voice to bring about change in society. Jackie Robinson was the first African American baseball player on a team’s roster. Not only did he change the sport of baseball forever, but impacted millions of African Americans and his impact continues to affect lives today.
Jackie Robinson is an American giant. A paragon of perseverance, courage and inner strength, he integrated baseball and broke our nation’s color barrier in an age where it was overtly enforced through violence both systematic and physical. Jackie Robinson has been a hero of mine since I was a child and while I wouldn’t dare to compare his struggle to obstacles I’ve faced in my lifetime, I still carry his example with me everyday and I believe it is crucial for those in my generation to do the same.

My soccer practices on every wednesday was always exciting and fun and usually not much justice there, but one time my half team was losing against the other half and we “scored” and tied the game. I knew it didn’t go in and the coach said it did but I knew that it wasn’t fair so I made them take away the goal. Jackie Robinson also had to show a lot of courage when he became a Major League Baseball player.

The human condition is a term which references our complicated existence by highlighting our ongoing ability to adapt and change both our perceptions and values. Through our mental capabilities of both creativity and imagination, humanity is able to achieve a sense of both self-actualisation and liberation, resulting in them acting as the core of our existence where, without them we would become susceptible to the overwhelming flaws of the human condition. Evidencing this are the three texts, ‘Dejection: an Ode’, ‘This Lime Tree Bower my Prison’ and ‘Focus’, which
What is human nature? It is very simple. Human nature refers to the patterns of behavior that are typical of our species or our kind. Human undergoes change as all humans grow up they nature seems to change; the environment someone grow up in effects that persons nature. To fully understand human nature Dr. Marvin Harris takes us on trip to time, which makes sense because if we better understand our past and our origin we will better understand our very existence and our nature. We will know more about who we are where we are from and such other questions that puzzle the human mind.
John Locke and Karl Marx have one thing in common, they both believe in human reasoning. Humans, they suppose, have the ability to be both rational and intellectual beings; they not only learn from those around them but also from their surroundings. Niccolo Machiavelli, however, disagrees with Locke and Marx. He argues that human beings are not reasonable and are chaotic without any such order. Although these three men differ drastically in their views on life and society, as a whole each became radicals that changed the world around them for centuries to come. Locke, Marx, and Machiavelli all based their beliefs on the views of the time period in which they lived and the influences that came with those eras.
Probably the highlight of the past couple week would have been training with the Bay of Plenty Steamers on position specific skills. Mostly scrummaging for the tight 5, actually nothing but scrummaging.
