Democracy Personal Statements Samples For Students

Oh look, a pizza store”—I remembered my dad say when we randomly decided to eat out. I am not ashamed to say that that day served as my taste buds’ baptismal of fire when it comes to eating Hawaiian Pizza at Pizza Hut. It was love at first bite; I remembered the dancing of flavours in my mouth as I eat away the pizza slice- it was sweet, salty, spicy (not to mention hot). The cheese was perfect and everything seems to go right in place. Now, I know that you are wondering why this (simple) moment will ...

Commitment to Helping Children and Families
Born premature four and a half months early weighing one pound 11ounces, many consider it a small miracle that I survived in that tiny body. Since my organs had not developed fully, I required special medical care in the neonatal intensive care unit. But here I am today, a healthy adult who has survived many challenges since the preemie stage of my life. Challenges that have given me an enormous sense of gratitude and motivation to serve as a social worker helping improve the lives of others. Why? Because during early childhood, my life was greatly ...

Personal Statement: Reason for Wanting to Study Political Science

It is my affirmation that pursuing higher education which focuses on a specialized field of discipline is subject to defined personal and professional goals. There are various factors that provide the impetus for an individual’s interest in a particular academic endeavor. For me, I have always had a penchant for politics, forms of government, and the impact on societies. Various news all over the world have revealed that chaos and unrest exist due to failure of the governing power to heed the basic needs and demands of the citizenry. I have read stories of government leaders who were exiled, overthrown, and ...

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is a challenge to deeply held beliefs regarding the autonomous nature of humans. Skinner, being one of the founding fathers of the behavioral movement reduces most human activity to a function of social living. Behaviorism has a distinct advantage over other psychological schools insofar as it’s hypotheses can be tested using the scientific method, and observation of objective behavior over subjective thoughts. While primary using rats as his experimental models, Skinner extrapolated his findings to human behavior to create a theory that promoted social conditioning on mass scale in order to create social control.

The liberal arts teach a person how to think. The Liberal Studies Program at Villanova University can train me in a wide range of fields that I’m interested in learning about, while being close to the dynamism of Philadelphia. Courses such as the history of travel and tourism provide a fascinating look into diverse areas of human thought and behavior such as politics, anthropology, and art. This multi-disciplinary approach to the world has interested me for a long time now and Villanova offers the opportunity to expand my scope in an academically rigorous, but relatively small and intimate setting. Furthermore the scope ...

Curiositea Gift Company, the project that I developed together with other four girls, had the mission to sell affordable handmade vintage teacups filled with tea scented candles, shower gel or bath bombs, separately or as a gift. For this aim, we targeted as the end use women aged 30-50, with refined tests for home accessories and an interest in relaxation, harmony and aesthetics. The direct buyers, however, are much more varied, ranging from students to adults who desire to purchase gifts for their friends, mothers, and acquaintances. The main marketing strategy consisted in a combination of strong social media ...

My country has recently become independent and despite its fast development and constant improvements, the country still lacks the fresh blood educated according to the Western democratic values that are still to be implemented in its legislation. To gradually substitute the Soviet past with the democratic present, our youth needs to study in the countries that are the cradles of the democracy.
For this reason, four years ago I took the Foundation course at HEFP, holding the conditional offer from the University of Warwick to study business law. Due to personal circumstances I was forced to continue my ...

DNC Speech 2012

When he delivered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on the 6th of September 2012 , President Barack Obama had several models to live up to. To begin with, his speech here in 2004 when he addressed the convention as a presidential candidate had inspired millions of Americans and immediately grabbed the attention, and support, of voters. His acceptance speech at the convention four years ago has also won over hearts. Rousing performances by Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton before the president’s speech had set a very high standard that was obviously expected to be ...

Throughout my life I have faced many challenges that took determination, perseverance, and discipline in order to overcome. During high school and throughout my undergraduate studies I dedicated myself to the ferocious sports of Kick Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. Despite my successes that were built on hard work and devotion to self-restraint, unfortunately I suffered a traumatic injury to my knee and in the process shattered my patella, ruptured both the anterior cruciate and the medial collateral ligaments, and tore the cartilage of the meniscus. The recovery from this injury was brutal and I had to undergo four surgeries ...

It included all types of fears and cultural shocks for me. I belong to a Muslim family residing in Saudi. Moving to US was like moving to another planet with different traditions and culture. However, this phase of my life molded me into becoming a more mature, responsible and thankful person. I ...

Gender and Women’s Studies is a field that I would like to pursue. Gender equality and women empowerment are things that I consider to be of great importance, especially since there’s still a gender gap even in the 21st century. I greatly admire my mother who is very supportive of me, and my many experiences in volunteer work and other group participations have shown me that women are capable of making important contributions in our society. As such, I would like to be instrumental in some way in the elimination of this gender gap.

Needless to say, the freedom ...
