What is your version of the "good life" using three aspects of life and is it the same as the person next to you? Everyone has their own idea of the "ideal life" and no two people have the same exact idea. Some may have the idea of money, clothes, and cars while another may have the idea of family, no death, and a big house. The two individuals have two completely different points of view, interests, likes, dislikes, and aspirations. My version of the "good life" is nothing like the other examples

Edmundson cites the loss of these ideals through modern writers, such as Shakespeare and Freud. Edmundson specifically calls Freud a “relentless enemy of the warrior ideal, the religious ideal, and the ideal of transcendent philosophy.” The truth in Edmundson’s analysis of Freud’s anti-idealist view
the illness that someone is living with. In my opinion, the author is really calling me to change my mindset on how I look at the people who have an illness. I am being challenged to look at the individual by themselves without allowing the illness that they have to cause me to forget that they are more than their illness. The concept of reminding myself that the client is more than his/her illness is something that I must make a conscious effort to do in my career as a nurse. The author shows us
express themselves as lesser than men. Conversely, men live by the dominance based values of masculinity, a set of ideals that teach them that seeking power, in action and expression, is all that matters. The practice of forcing males to express only toxic masculinity has led to an American society dominated by men, leaving women as their target for domination. Consequently, though the ideals of masculinity serve as the mantra for men for it allows them to dominate, those values also cost men their humanity
It has become a foundation of ideals and hopes for any American or immigrant. Specifically, one of the ideals that always exist is the dream of America free of class distinction. Every American hopes for a society where every person has the opportunity to be whomever he or she desire. Another ideal in the American dream is the drive to improve the quality of life. As one’s idea of the American Dream gets closer and closer, often times political and social ideals of America cause their American
up to the qualification of loyalty to the Jesuit ideals of higher education through my active participation in many of the classes, clubs, and jobs here on campus, as well as my continuous effort to participate in all the events the college has to offer. I believe that since many of the classes, clubs, and events are founded at the college, they are already rooted in the Jesuit ideals and values and thus, my active participation in them throughout my college career so far has allowed me to unconsciously
My chosen particular aspect that I have analyzed to be found to have significant connections between my four chosen texts is identity. I have perceived this theme of identity through four different films of Gattaca, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Catch Me If You Can and V for Vendetta. Through these films I have formed three questions off of my theme identity analyzed: What was the effect of identity on the people around the protagonist what drove the protagonists to obtain a new identity?

A sage is like many different people who all have strengths in different things, and if they all combined together that would equivalent to a sage person. The theme Sage or ideal person is explained by comparing and contrasting the qualities of sage, finding the biggest contradiction
Nirvana, idyll, paradise, heaven on earth, and Utopia what do all these words have in common? They are an idea, a figment of our imagination, something we can only aspire to achieve. Even the Greeks knew it; the Greek translation for Utopia is “not place” or “no place” as in a place that does not exist. So how could I stand here today and tell you that a utopia could exist on earth that would be naive of me. What I will say is originally, I was naive I did believe in paradise or nirvana or utopia
My aphorism is hold tight to your roots but be open to the future. This is aphorism really relates to me and what I believe in. It shows the importance of knowing who you are but also being open to new things to come in the future.
