Without having to say anything to him, he understands how I might feel about certain situations, and during times that might not be too good, he knows what to do to make me laugh and feel better. My best friend is a person who I ...

Her boyfriend was a little bit choppy and obviously stronger ...

As adults, there are times when we reflect on our childhood years and feel very emotional about situations whereby those vested with our care and protection failed to consider what was in our best interest. More often than not, children feel that their voices are not being heard, that they are being treated unfairly or that their real problems are trivialized and sometimes ignored. Child advocacy is all about speaking out on what is in the best interests of children, their needs and rights. Some of the issues in child advocacy include child abuse, foster care, parental substance abuse, ...

Throughout my life, I had been taught that I should not hit people. I think this is common sense, and my parents had taught me this since I was very little. Nevertheless, there was a moment in my childhood where I believe that the correct course of action was to actually hit somebody.

I hit her because I did not want both ...

There are many things in life that we hold dear to ourselves.

I’ve been attached to many things in my life, but I think that I feel the strongest about is my typewriter.

I firmly believe that a saying, “out of sight, out of mind’ does not work with loyal friends, since a true friendship is never affected by time or distance. People can talk to each other only once in a while, be apart for years, but still remain very close friends. Such constancy in relationships is a distinctive feature of friendship. However, a true friend is a rare phenomenon these days. This can only be the person, who knows everything about you, but who will never betray you, or use his knowledge and power against you. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, or you experience ...

Abstract
Alfred Lord Tennyson was perhaps the greatest poet of the nineteenth century Victorian era. While ‘In Memoriam,’ was written in honor of his best friend who died at a young age, some of his other famous works included ‘Ulysses,’ and ‘Morte d’ Arthur,’ which were again written in memory of his fond friend. The tones of these poems are nostalgic and reflect the mood and sentiments of a poet who had witnessed the unceremonious arrival of death from the outside. Emily Dickinson, a contemporary of Tennyson, was born in the United States. Her poem ‘Because I could not stop for ...

Both Jack London and John Muir were lovers of the outdoors, and this love is reflected in their writing. Both writers also utilized canines in their stories, although they addressed the relationship between dog and man in vastly different ways. Jack London's canine-human relationship recognized and even glorified the ancient wolf-like tendencies of the dog, while John Muir's dog exemplified the common classification of dog as “man's best friend.”
Both Muir and London were fascinated by the wild in the dog, and the fearless manner in which canines face their fates. London and Muir knew the wilds well: ...

The only decision I have truly regretted in my life up til now is not standing up for myself even when I was being treated poorly by someone I considered family for eight years since we first met in middle school because I did not want to lose their friendship. For years, I allowed my so-called best friend who swore we were practically sisters to throw me aside and treat me like trash every time she met a new person regardless if they were a significant other or a friend. Weeks would go by where I would not here ...

This response addresses a personal past shared meaning experience and my learning outcomes from the event. I grew up with a best friend who was “of colour.” I did not see her as being different because my parents taught me from before I can remember that “people are all the same.” I believed just because our skin, hair and eyes were different, it did not matter because for me that is what “the same” meant. Of course, that is until my friend went with our family to a family reunion.
When meeting my best friend, I watched as “my ...

My life before I came to Christ

Before coming to Christ, I convinced myself that my spiritual life was acceptable if not perfect. I already knew the Ten Commandments and was keen to follow what was socially moral and avoid everything that could portray my person in a negative light.

Hence, I went to church every Sunday and made sure to give my offerings without fail. However, it was not until I turned fifteen that I accepted the truth ...

My First Kiss

Everyone dreams of their first kiss and what it would be like, often practicing in the mirror or on our hand, longing for someone else’s sweet lips to touch our own and wonder what it would feel like when it happened. When I was 14, my parents sent me to my grandmother’s home on vacation. I remember, it was a hot summer. It was so hot that you could feel the sweat drip down your body and there was no means of air circulating. However, I felt the boredom kick in day after day ...

Humans are interesting in the way that they come up with names for everything. Every object in this world must have a label so we may understand what another person is speaking about when we communicate. Names and labels are an integral part of language and communication; without them, we would never know to what anybody is referring. The story is no different when it comes to human beings themselves. We all have names in order to identify ourselves, whether to friends, co-workers, or verifiable government documents. Our names are essentially who we are. Some people come upon their names ...

As Cassius and Brutus were attempting to eliminate Caesar from power, Caesar suggested “men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is ...

Question 1 – Self Assessment Result

After attempting the self-assessment test, I was really very surprised to see that my preferred or dominant conflict-handling style is “compromising” with a score of 18. Additionally, I have also learned that my secondary styles are collaborating and accommodating with a score of 16 each. Backed by the self-assessment, I strongly agree with the results because when conflicts arise, I prefer to compromise each other rather than fighting over and winning at the cost of the mutual benefit as well as long-lasting relationship.
Similarly, while managing conflicts, I collaborate with every member involved to address the concerns so that no ...

The ideas presented by Elaine Scarry in her book ‘Beauty and Being Just’ resonate in my experiences as a21 year old with perceptions of beauty regarding people and objects in my interactive environment.

She argues that beauty has two main incoherent criticisms that have in turn served to be misinterpretations of societal conceptualizations of beauty. First, she proposes that one of the incoherent arguments about ...

The terms leisure and recreation mean different things to different people from different social backgrounds. Therefore, it is not easy to come up with a universal definition that is acceptable to all people.

Nevertheless, it would not be wrong to say that leisure and recreation occupy a crucial point in every society, at least in almost all the cultures in the world. For the young children, leisure can be conceptualized as play, while, for the adults, leisure ...

When one is going to talk about redemption it appears to be fairly logical to start with a brief pre-history; that is to explain what actually made a character to seek for redemption.

The wrong choice that led to horrible consequences usually results in great moral sufferings of the one who had made it. Due to the fact that anyone in the world can make a mistake, and thousands of people have experienced ...
