Water Is Life Experience

community than I ever did about my hometown. I never thought that a city in North Dakota with a population of 1,000 people could have so much background and historical meaning to it. Before this project, I never would have opened my mind to learning about the important past events and the people who lived to see them.

Representatives from all different tribes were present and they danced and sang together in harmony. The traditional dress wear of the each tribe was beautiful and they introduced the tribes that were present. I loved the sense of togetherness the participants had. Also, the experience broke a stereotype for me. I was under the impression that all Native Americans were tan and had black hair. I guess I related it to the movie Pocahontas and some western movies I’ve seen. This certainly was not the case. It goes to show you really can’t judge someone with how they look or guess their culture with how they look. This changed my way of thinking. I do anticipate to learn more about the Native American culture and learn not to assume culture based on appearance. I generally do not mean to, but I belive that everyone has unconscious thoughts and assumptions when they see someone different than themselves. With the more knowledge I gain as a counselor and though my classes I want to tackle my unconscious thoughts and assumptions. Through this class I have definitely become more aware of what I have been told in relation to people different than

As a Chicana Latina, I was an underrepresented college student. That is a unique but common situation a lot of students find themselves in when to attend a university. The theme across time in my research I joined a research lab in the psychology department. The results I found game me insight and growth in self reflection, something that I learned, something that I explored more in depth.

Over the course of history, starting from the early 16th century there have been several countries that have strived to imperialize other countries in order to achieve a myriad of goals. Consequently, imperialism has led to monumental effects that were viewed from a variety of perspectives. Great Britain was among the many countries that set up a policy of expansion and imperialized foreign powers including India and Africa. Overall, it is inevitable that Britain’s motives in imperialism was to obtain raw materials and resources which was spurred by the Industrial Revolution, a greater need for markets in order to sell goods, and a final motive being the want to spread Christianity. Although imperialism allowed Britain to gain more power, exclusive trading rights and land, it

I felt quite at home with the atmosphere, and enjoyed myself through the event. The experience proved to be fulfilling and gave me a peak to a new culture, and taught me many things about hospitality, celebrations and other norms and values significant to the American culture.

Given the diverse nature of my community, I had the opportunity to volunteer with people from a variety of racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. For instance, I mentored a fourth grader who was experiencing behavioral problems in the classroom, having trouble with his schoolwork and

The concept of human wisdom is fundamental for an understanding of the “Apology” In Plato’s writings, Socrates is describing his practice of philosophy as a response to the Delphic oracle’s famous statement that “no one is wiser” than he is. Socrates at first regards the oracle’s exclamation as a riddle, since it paints a meaning that contradicts an image of himself: “What is his riddle? I am very conscious that I am not wise at all; what then does he mean by saying that I am the wisest?” (Dan Futter). There are interpretations that have offered insufficient resources for explaining how Socrates could have been humanly wise before Apollo’s oracle, when Socrates believed incorrectly that he was not wise at all. I argue that a reasonable interpretation

Tell us about a community or cultural experience or any group gathering you have participated in recently that meant a lot to you.

. Which of the following is NOT an intended effect of Fitzgerald’s passage in which Nick finds an old time-table on which he had listed the names of guests to Gatsby’s parties?

I had the subject of homelessness, and I have thought about this problem before. It is a subject that has caused controversy throughout the nation and I previously didn’t know much about this situation. I began looking on political and news websites to get polls and facts about how much homelessness is affecting our world today. I used the websites on the library page and they were a huge help in getting articles and helping me to keep everything organized. Some things were hard to find such as finding a quote from someone who is an expert on homelessness, it took me a while to find. This project was fun and led me to understand this problem more and to understand how deeply it affects us and our world.

The woman was dressed in black with an ashy face and dark, outstretched hands, my Molly had said. Her face was swollen, eyes bugging out of her head and wet hair sticking limply to her face. Water seemed to pour from her. Molly’s face scrunched up with horror as she told me. Water came from her mouth, and her eyes, and her ears, and the very pores of her skin. The fog around her feet seemed to carry her on, and push her up, and urge her onto the sand. Pale, translucent face twisting into a grimace, as one slipper clad foot reached out. She crashed against the shore like a wave, her body battered against the sand until nothing was left but the foamy residue of polluted water. Only a shrill scream remained. Molly turned from the window. She explained

I was born in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. Having being born in Africa was a blessing to me but not as easy as well. I was born in a small village with no electricity and up to date there is still no electricity. Water was scarce and the only way I could access it was through walking down to the source of the river and dams. I would walk 5 miles down the hill just to get 2 liters of water to drink which I had to carry it on my head. Getting education was a privilege and not a necessity in life just as it is in the United States. Luckily I was able to go to school and worked so hard even with the struggle of studying with no electricity and also relying on other student’s textbooks. I was able to get a scholarship in a private high school

The search for new mining locations around the world has been significant to many mining corporations in the United States and Canada. Since the areas within these boundaries are being used up or are extremely expensive, many have taken their operations to developing countries in Latin America. El Salvador is one of the next countries that Pacific Rim, a Canadian-Australian firm that produces gold and copper, is looking to open mines in. Specifically, a gold mine located near Sensuntepeque, which is the capital of the Cabañas region and the town of San Isidro. El Salvador has welcomed foreign mining companies onto their land in the past for exploration but for the last few

Throughout history, water has eternally served a salient purpose in keeping all forms of life alive to this day. However, water 's sustenance seems to have been appreciated more in past ages than it is currently. If you were to ask someone about the roles that water plays in our lives today, they would most likely say that it keeps us hydrated, our bodies clean, and our plants watered. It may seem that facile, but little do many people know about the numerous, distinct ways that water succors us in our daily lives. Water plays a vital role in our quotidian lives by making manufacturing, power, jobs, and the balance of nature attainable by communities.

Everyday humans and animals all across the world consume large amounts of water to keep their bodily systems functioning. While water is an essential aspect of life it can also be dangerous as most water will never be 100% pure, as such water will contain what is known as contaminants. There are many forms of contaminants ranging from microorganisms to chemicals. These contaminants have the ability to cause serious health issues depending of the amount consumed. This has serious effect on third world countries such as those within Africa. As the populations of countries increase more water is needed but less safe supplies are present. This has required new ways of supplying water beyond what was previously necessary. As such methods of purification have become necessary for creating enough safe water to drink, however some of these methods have serious drawbacks which need to be considered.
