breathe again. The nameplate on the desk confirmed that this was his office—not Frederick Carlson’s. It was stark and bare compared to the main lobby of the building. There were two brown leather chairs positioned across from his desk giving the blank slate…

location of Camelot is in Tintagel in North Cornwall. After a summer fire burned away surfaces of the earth, it revealed hundreds of buildings that had previously been on the site. This could indicate the civilization of the people of Camelot. Also, a slate with rare inscriptions was found on the site that dated back to the 5th century, the time period of King Arthur. Another interesting indicator that this may be the location of Camelot is the cave located on the shores of Tintagel. The cave…

recessions or the loss of a job can happen at any time during a person’s life. These times may happen more than once in a person's life and require considering many less than ideal options. Sometimes filing a second bankruptcy is a way to wipe the slate clean once again. A person can only file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and receive a bankruptcy discharge once during an eight year time period. So, while filing another bankruptcy may be in your future, this eight year time frame must be…

The debate of nature versus nurture has been ongoing for quite some time. Which one influences us more? Is it nature? This provides our genotype, or our genetic code. Or is it nurture? This is our environmental influences in the origins of behavior and mental processes (Rathus 56). Both of these contribute to who we are, but which one impacts us the most? This is what psychologists have been trying to determine for years. Sure, nature plays the role of determining what we look like physically,…

born he is not born with the intent to do evil. The baby is born with the intent to learn and gain knowledge to make the decision of their role in life. It is in the early stages of life when a person finds themselves. A person is born with a clean slate then the person they will become is determined but, not written in stone. People can change; a person who has done evil in the past can change to a good person; this can happen in many different ways. Some people come to see that what they…

what they have been through. Humans are like a mold of clay, experience is what forms us. We need good and bad experiences to shape who we are. In Frankenstein, the creature is the way he is due to his nature. He was raised as a completely blank slate, making him very impressionable, also due to his lack of knowledge. Then when the creature ventured off, he began to learn things, and became his own person. This makes the creature an excellent example…

The Truman Show (1998) directed by Peter Weir follows Truman Burbank, a man who has spent his life in a television set where his decisions are controlled by producer Christof. The Truman Show raises the question ‘Is the world within The Truman Show an illusion or does it have some reality?’ This is an epistemological issue as it is relating to the theory of knowledge and more specifically, the knowledge of reality.

transformative, and critical reflection. Chen (2014) investigates “adult learners are self-directed and their learning is optimized when their experience is recognized and utilized in the learning process” (p. 407). Adult students are not 'clear slates' and their background turns into the medium through which substance is found out and in which to rethink new objectives to achieve (Chen, 2014). Self-directed is appropriate for an adult due to the connection that is made with their life…

When setting up a just society, which value should be of utmost importance: liberty, fairness, happiness, or security? Upon examining Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, and John Rawls, we notice that all three were philosophers of Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism focuses that the happiness and general well-being of the majority should take priority over an individual; however, Utilitarianism also attempts to define the capacity of freedom of an individual’s liberty under sovereign authority. From…
