question what mercy is in America. Stevenson began the lecture by discussing how the audience has the capability to create more change, justice, and opportunity in America. Stevenson spoke about the 5 things required in order to be able to make more change for the better. The first thing that we must be able to do is that we have to be concerned about our identity. We can call ourselves students and lawyers, however, it doesn’t describe who we are. The adjectives used allow us to have our identity
What is teacher reflection? How do the three different types of reflection (reflection in-action, on-action and for-action) help the teacher support student learning? Compare and contrast their strengths and limitations focussing on how evidence is used within each type of reflection.

Politics, Power, and the American Media As Americans, we believe that world events over the next few years will unfold from September 11th. The safety and security that we all felt before will never be the same. While Americans continue to recover our enemies continue to plan a way to bring us to our knees once again. Many of us will never again be able to fly without a fear of what if and many of us will never again be able to turn on the morning news without the fear of what if. We tend to have
Our society has become punitive when dealing with children, so much so that we are deemed, by other nations, the harshest western nation when it comes to juvenile policy and punishment. Unfortunately, this is a true statement when we look at our incarceration rates. Our states and federal prison, local jails, and juvenile detention center are overcrowded, with beds being filled the same day they are vacated.

American should be required to serve a minimum of two years of military service. We are the first line of defense; whether it be of our county or ourselves. Many are more than willing to turn this responsibility over to someone else. As a society, we are soft, distrustful of one other, thin-skinned, easily distracted, and unwilling to take personal responsibility for our actions. Mandated military service will help establish a more committed nation that is resilient, respectful of rights and freedoms
All of us are self-centred, seek praise and recognition, think of ourselves as winners and not losers. We operate as much by gut feelings as we do by logical, rational thinking. We are creatures of our environment, sensitive and responsive to external rewards and punishment, but we are also strongly motivated by internal pressures.

positive changes such as recognition and legalization of same-sex marriage, prohibition of discrimination based on gender identity/expression and sexual orientation, and greater rights for the LGBTQ community in public and private spheres have come about.

J. ESPINA, SR. Mayor, Municipality of Kawayan, Biliran Luisito Montalbo Stories of leadership often fail to fully capture what the person behind the position goes through as he or she tries to institute changes in the organization. Many leadership stories tend to gloss over personal difficulties and highlight only those that make the leader appear bigger and brighter. What these stories fail to recognize is that there is much to learn from the struggles that come before the victory. This is the
