talk about the question of whether or not people are actually determined or free. The chapter begins with a situation and question to get the reader to ponder about their opinion. The question is, if two people are identical in every way possible and both are given the option to choose coffee or tea would they choose the same thing? If a person believes people to be determined, they would say that they would pick the same thing, but if a person thinks people are free, they will say that they will most likely say they can choose different drinks. To further introduce the outcomes of either being determined of free the authors give hypothetical situations of a world that is determined and what a world would be like if it were not determined. Towards the end of the chapter, the authors then say that it is hard for a person to justify that people are entirely determined of free because both have limitations, but it can be agreed that “natural order and human responsibility are…
the tasks that were given to them. The strengths of the individual group facilitator were patience, active listening, being reflective, questioning, and having empathy for the members of her group. I saw cultural issues addressed and resolved and the members of the group were able to work to a common goal. I felt that for this group the setting and location were perfect. The large number of members that were then broken down into small sub groups for easier dialog required the space. If I was to…
the fourth attack we had planned this year, and it was going great until we ran into The Legend27. We would have planned more if we had not been on lock down for 3 months because of a mole somewhere in our camp. We had finally found the waste of a human life, we sentenced him to walk through the death swamp, and he had it coming. I was telling this to my grandchildren, Jeffery and Borkly, around the campfire, when Jeffery interrupted. “What were you doing raiding and attacking the Flabastians,…
As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do. But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and…
When we look upon ourselves we think of two things who we are and were we came from this just a normal way that humankind has always thought of themselves. Firstly they ask who they are as if there very exsitence may not be valid even though there right in front of you flesh and bone. Everyone has a purpose in life but believe that if they dont do anything remarkable that stands out that there mere life is just that nothing. We as homosapiens believe in a convaluded way of reasoning and since…
says “’I can ‘member Grandma Dee without the quilts’” (par. 74) showing that she will always remember the times they had together. Mama is also seen as a character of symbolic importance because of her ways of seeing situations throughout the story. She talks about a dream she had, going on a game show and re-uniting with her daughter when she herself weighs one hundred pounds lighter. Farrell reminds us, “It is important to remember, thought, that this Johnny Carson daydream is Mama’s…
you know how things go. Another example would if in the past you loaned friend money but that friend never paid you back. But then later that same friend came again and asked to borrower money again. Well you do know how that’s gonna go that friend may not pay you back once again. The term “People like us” is usually used when speaking, or thinking negative of another race or culture. Unfortunately me being Black I’ve heard this term way too much. I have said in the past and maybe just the…
But this difference does not mean that one way is right and the other one is wrong. Quite to the contrary, both O’Brien and Bowker can learn from each other and deal with Kiowa’s death in an even better way. “The Man I Killed” and “Ambush” both concern O’Brien’s feelings of guilt over killing an enemy combatant. Guilt is often associated with death. When a friend or loved one dies, the people left behind often feel that they could have rendered more assistance during the person’s life. These…
He knew that the only way to keep Inka out of the path of danger was to tackle the man before he neared her, or in other words, as soon as humanly possible. He jumped, pinning him to the ground as sirens rang nearer. Oliver decided to take a shower to try and clear his head. As the water rushed down his body, he realized that any day could easily be his last. Inka had left the city for a few weeks with family on a vacation. After a few minutes of thinking, Oliver decided to write a letter to…
deeper for more of an understanding. All animals have certain instinct knowledge on how to survive in the environment. Animal babies they were born into this world with a capacity and knowledge on how to survive in the wilderness by making a nest. Some in high and underground to avoid any danger lurking around. This instinct is like a small map in their minds. Did you know they are a part of our genes and may not know what a nest looks like and able to still make one. So you’re probably…
