Response to question 1:
Ibn Tufayl writes of Hayy ibn Yaqzan’s experiences starting with his birth. Tufayl presents two different accounts about the origin of his hero, Hayy. The first account was that Hayy was born on an uninhabited island, not from parents but, rather, from clay fermentation. The author emphasizes the importance of the island’s perfect geographic location and climate in order to support the possibility of spontaneous human generation without the need for a mother and father. According to the second account, Hayy was the illegitimate son of a princess who was the daughter of a ruler of a large inhabited island next to the uninhabited island. In order to save the baby (Hayy) from certain death, his mother puts him

He discovers that they do not seek God. He then examines the spiritual bodies which possess an intelligent substance, like his, and that they see the Necessary Being. Among all the animals, he thinks of himself as the only one who could know the Necessary Being. Up to this point, he has not met other human beings.
I believe that the author gave two different explanations about how Hayy came to life in order to immediately attract the reader and to start the thought process at the very beginning of his tale. The tale was written in a way that reflected Tufayl’s own philosophical ideas. I understood the background of the explanations to be the same, i.e., they both present Hayy in solitude on an uninhabited island to show how reason guides the human intellect naturally. I believe that was Tufayl’s intention. Both explanations were related to science and religion and, because Tufayl was a philosopher, I believe that they were based on his readings and learnings. I do not think that the author favored either account because, other than giving the two accounts, he did not set out to prove or disprove one or the other. In my opinion, Tufayl’s intent, throughout his essay, was to convey the fact that self-discipline is important in the search for the understanding of life in all forms and that solitude is necessary to the learning
1. In the Neolithic era, about 8000 B.C., a new civilization and culture developed. The reason for this development was the change to hunting and gathering to cultivation of agriculture that permitted man to settle down permanently ending nomadic existence.
A tenet of that theory is that enlightened egoists will recognize that socially responsible behavior will benefit them.
RATIONALE: Each fracture site would be coded separately. The C1 fracture would be coded with 805.01, and the C2 fracture with 805.02. As reported in the Indication section, this was an MVC of an unspecified nature, and the patient was the driver. E819 is the code for MVC of unspecified nature with the 4th digit of 0 to show the patient was driving.

Chapter 1 of your textbook includes, on page 9, Table 1.1, “Managing Change: Some Lessons from the Four Stories.” Review the four “lessons” (bullet points) on the table, and think about what some of the key “learning points” you gleaned about change from these stories. Then, do one of two things:1. Post the top three learning points you gleaned from the stories, and include how the stories for change helped you learn these points, or2. Research one of the four companies and see how or if that company has since changed (yet more) since the time of the book’s publication. How did that recent change fit with or not fit in with the “lessons” that the textbook mentions the company “learned” from their original set of changes? Explain what you

I chose to compare and contrast the two stories of Araby and Barn Burning for several reasons, many of which I will call upon later in the essay, but what predominately interested myself in these specific stories are the that they both touch upon specific tenants of growing up as a boy and the emergence into adulthood. In Araby, it is clear that the boy is entering adulthood as he is aflame with the insatiable desire for affection which takes form as a young girl he is infatuated with. Meanwhile in “Barn Burning”, the age of the boy is younger than the previous but is also riddled with the coming of age paradigm, notably in the awareness of the faults of our parents and the realization that although they may be family, not all people are inherently superior in morality, nor are
In Nella Larsen’s Passing, Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry show us a great deal about race and sexuality in the 1920s. Both are extremely light-skinned women of African-American descent. However similar they appear to be, their views on race, a very controversial issue at the time, differ significantly. Clare chooses to use her physical appearance as an advantage in America’s racist and sexist society, leaving behind everything that connects her to her African-American identity. She presents herself as an object of sexual desire, flaunting herself to gain attention. Irene is practically the opposite, deciding that she wants to remain with the label of being black. She is subtle with her

“Kids who are the first in their families to brave the world of higher education come on campus with little academic know-how and are much more likely than their peers to drop out before graduation” (1). Many people believe that school isn’t for everyone, and whoever goes is privileged for doing so. Countless people in the world today do not attend college, and this is mainly due to an influence of those in their family. Perhaps they are unsupportive of higher education, their parents and family members may view their entry into college as a break in the family system rather than a continuation of their schooling and higher learning. Most of the first-generation students decide to apply to colleges, because they aspire to jobs which require degrees. However, unlike some students whose parents have earned a degree, they often seek out college to bring honor to their families, and to ensure they make a decent amount of money for their future.
My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)
In Ibn Tufayl's Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, he tells the story of how Hayy grew up and lived in isolation on an island and how he came to discover the existence of God independently through philosophical thought and observation. Tufayl then intertwines Hayy's religious narrative with Absal's, a conventional religious follower who learns about religion through testimony. When Absal introduces Hayy to his city, they become disillusioned with the general populace's indifference to the ecstatic experience of encountering God and Truth and eventually decide to leave the city to attain self-enlightenment through asceticism on the island. This essay will thus argue that while the episode can be interpreted as Tufayl's implicit rejection of traditional religion, the its larger
