What Makes A Person?

The article that I choose was teaching tolerance in America. The author of this article is Dudley Erskine Devlin. I felt like this was the best article for me to choose because of some of the points made in this article. I just graduated high school two years ago so I felt like a lot of the information provided in this article was useful. I also felt that at the same time that a lot of this information was bias. This article tells about how school systems faced many problems in the modern era and some of them are still in play today. The author had a few strong points in this paper he felt as if the kids were bringing things they learned from home and off the streets into the school system. One key area that it mentioned was a long line of

• Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word autobiographical research paper analyzing the influences of race as it relates to your community.

I was born and raised in Texas where everything is Texas sized and everyone says y'all. I am an Asian American whose parents both came from Vietnam at a young age. I was soon to be molded and developed by them and my community to where I became culturally diverse. I was moved along schools which helped me build character. I also have developed into a very athletic and intelligent person due to all my friends and family helping me to reach this state.

Is a dolphin a person? Most people would automatically dismiss the question, but in reality, this question can be discussed on a very complex level revealing that the definition of a person is not so black and white. Mary Midgley sets the stage to her narrative by telling the story of a specific court case that she uses as a reference on many occasions. In May of 1977, two men set free two dolphins who were used by the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Marine Biology for experimentation. Kenneth Le Vasseur, one of the men who was standing trial, told how these dolphins were suffering through unfair conditions such as diminishing food rations, isolation from other dolphins, and loss of toys. Based on this information, Le Vasseur and

Throughout the paper we will be exploring if has racism come to an end or just evolved as time went along. Im Going to explain the values of an African American lives throughout history till modern days. Explain the physiological abuse African American went through from back far as the middle passage. People never pay attention to the mind abuse and try to put themselves into the same circumstances. Can you imagine being in a boat in pitch black? Do you have any idea what that would do to a human being? As human beings certain events can trigger a nervous breakdown and cause you to lose sanity. Certain Events that African Americans had to go through

My subject is poverty and how it affects the youth of America. Children in the United States are more likely to live in poverty than those in developed nations according to the data from UNICEF. For a small minority

The topic that I chose was that colleges and universities should not use affirmative action in determining which students are accepted. I am personally against this issue and it should be dealt with immediately. Affirmative action should be banned in all parts of the world. Colleges and universities should not use affirmative action because it gives students an unfair advantage, it does not matter what ethnicity you are, and it is illegal. I believe that colleges and universities should not use affirmative action.

The environment makes the person. Whether it is being on an island or a mental asylum; any normal person can change. Between the stories of Lord of the Flies and "I Only Came to Use the Phone" uses a setting of isolation to mesh events to show how the main theme of dehumanization, by how the characters are coping with isolation in the environment. Whether it is facing the fact that there is no escape, then trying desperate ways to escape, and seeing the illusion of good become the reality of bad in the environment. In the end the characters act like humans from the beginning.

The thesis of the story is external factors as well as bad personal decisions all contributed to my school problems. I believe the examples he gives to be pretty explanations for his school failure. He talks about how his mom never motivated him to do his homework or study, and I believe parent's pushing their kids gives the kids a lot more motivation to do well. I know that my parents always nagged me to read and checked my homework every night as a kid and the habit of doing the work just in case they checked it stayed with me. Another factor he mentions are his friends didn't care about school, so he didn't care either. You see that a lot in high school because students depend on their peers for acceptance. For example, my old friend dropped

When first writing my initial reflection paper, I had a very hard time coming up with someone or something to talk about. I did not feel that I could talk about a celebrity or someone historically famous because what you typically know about them is what and how the media portrays them to be. I cannot argue that they are morally good because I cannot tell you about all of their actions, the intentions of their actions, or really what their action was. All I could argue is what the media says they did, which I do not find to be fair. I settled on an act, the act of being a foster parent. Like all acts, I think that you have to look at it from a whole perspective.

The two categories that have made me who I am as a person were my religion and my family influence. Growing up in a Christian based household has shaped me as a person since the ten commandments have helped guide my life. My family has really shaped who I am, my parents have always taught me right from wrong and have helped become the good person I am today. That’s why both of these categories are rated as 30% because they both have equally influenced me to be who I am today and have helped get to where I am today.

What do you think about when you hear the word “impacted”. Do you think about how your birth affected your family, community, friendship, and the world? You should think about this because your birth has made a difference or impacted on something or someone in the world. So as you're sitting at your table reading this and say “I made little difference in the world”. So what little things can make a bigger difference than doing nothing at all. As you read this paper you will see how my little differences made a major impact on the world, my community, and my family.

To start this Essay, it will be talking about race. A reason for talking about the problem with racism is because many people are judged by the color of their skin. By bringing this up ill also be using Boyle’s Drop City book to how racism is issue. The specific purpose exposes the issue with racism. Many people have trouble dealing with racism this in the end will eventually this will escalate to something even worse that would involve all races to clash. None of which will turn out good for anyone in the end. The following paragraphs will talk about providing evidence for the reader, then acknowledge a counter argument which would afterwards rebutting it, and connect the racial profiling problem with the present problem to see if it’s still relevant to the people. The next main point is to talk about what happened in the past that made such inequality impossible to achieve within the past years and how it was made an issue. The final main point will then explain through how we the people can be able to make equality a reality regarding the race gender or even color. People make an endless disagreement that don’t matter whatsoever, its mostly because of humans being too selfish to even think about working together with their own kind and what’s especially disappointing is that humans doesn’t have enough trust in each other after all many people are used to being tricked by any kind of form as an enemy which makes that one individual only care about his/her want or need.

What is it that makes us who we are? Is it how we were raised? Is it the specific time and location in space during our birth? Or is it by mere choice alone in every moment that makes us who we are at that moment, ever-changing? I could tell you that they are all are true. And I could also tell you that they are all false. And guess what, both statements would be correct. Here’s another shocker, truth is relative. You can turn something from an untruth into a truth and vise versa all with the power of belief, thought, and faith. If you truly believe with all of your heart that you are a product of your upbringing and nothing more, then you have made that true. You’ve also chosen to be a victim of your past but hey if that’s the truth you want you got it. Now if you believe that your upbringing is the past and nothing more, and that you choose moment by moment who you are, then that is true. Truth is based on your reality. And your reality is based on your thoughts and beliefs. There is no set reality. There are no set truths. Reality, just like truth, is relative to the being who perceives it. Now personally I have chosen not to be a victim of my past for that is all that it is, the past. And the past, just like the future, exists only in our minds. Without your mind, without you remembering the past or dreaming of future possibilities, there is no past and there is no future. There is only NOW. The universe has no concept of past or future. It only
