Other people now react differently to the person because of what she has learned, which is proof that he or she has learned something about the self. It shows how the person's relations changed.
A third type of evidence is psychological. Here there is more focus on what the person feels and thinks. The experience of getting an online degree has changed them inside. They view themselves differently because of their encounter with the subject matter of the classes or their interactions online. Perhaps they become more introverted in some sense, because they spend time alone rather than in classes. This is not contradictory with developing friendships. It is just that time is spent in a more isolated situation. Out of this, the person realizes either that they do or do not like being isolated. Self-knowledge is gained. It shows how the person's self-changed.

This was usually the case with the proliferation of British rule at the time; trade was the predecessor to British Colonialism. For administrative purposes, Singapore became a part of Penang and Malacca which were two other settlements in the region. By 1826 these areas were grouped together and became known as the Straits Settlement. Initially the centre of the Straits Settlement was Penang. Penang was governed by Calcutta and Calcutta was governed by London. Within a six-year period Singapore had developed so much that it became the centre for the Straits Settlements.
In the years that followed the role of the British government in Singapore became more apparent as the East India Company withdrew from the region. In 1867 Singapore became a Crown Colony that was governed directly from London. Throughout the nineteenth century more parts of the Malay Peninsula and of Borneo began to be controlled by Britain, however,…...

Thrasymachus's Definition Of Justice
Creative Writing

Thrasymachus's Definition of Justice

In Book I of Plato's The epublic Thrasymavhus definition of justice as nothing more than the advantage of the stronger. He offers this concept not as a definition, but as a way of pointing out that justice is irrelevant. It does not pay to be just. Just behavior works to the advantage of other people, not to the person who behaves justly.

Thrasymavhus is saying that justice is the unnatural restraint on our natural desire to have more. In other words greed is a natural act and is therefore good. Justice is a principle imposed on us and does not benefit those who follow its tenets. A rational man will ignore justice completely.

There is ample evidence in today's world to support Thrasymavhus's definition of justice. If we just look around we can observe a country where 90% of the wealth is controlled by 1%…...

The written word is our release point for expression. They depict our premonitions and provide us with an outlet for our individuality. The written word is the most ancient and subtly available means for recording our history, progress and purpose as human beings. With the written word, we are able to assure ourselves that the children's children will know our intentions and beliefs. If it were not for the written word, we as a people would have never evolved past the nomadic principles of Neanderthals. We would have no organization, governing or principle for adherence to grace or dignity. It is for these reasons that I emphasize with the most profound stance of conviction that you - the future scholars of our universities and absorbent minds of our educational institutions - your attention to the words you write and the exertion you put forth in writing them will be the…...

They'll therefore wind up having to spend those dollars -- here, of course -- and who knows what inflated prices they'll have to pay for things? In the 1980s, the Japanese pursued the same strategy of aggressively exporting to the U.S. while propping up the dollar, and in the end, they wound up buying companies and buildings in this country for vastly inflated prices. For example, the purchased Rockefeller Center for about three times its appraised value, and wound up selling it back to U.S. investors for about a 2/3 discount a couple of years later. Their economy paid the price for these policies, too. Starting about 1990, it went into a decline from which they're still trying to recover. No one know yet what the impact of China's policies will ultimately be, but it wouldn't be at all surprising to see them suffer the same fate.

Even when my notes are more about one or two specific ideas, the process of copying them and developing them into complete sentences helps me think of ideas for introducing those ideas and for developing subsequent parts of the essay.
The third obstacle that I have identified is the difference between writer's block that has to do with my writing process and writer's block that is less about my writing and more about trying to write before devoting time to thinking about the assignment first. Like everyone else, I also find some subjects are interesting to me while others are not because they are assigned courses. This was much more true before college, when all my courses were assigned, but it also applies to writing assignments in assigned college courses.

closer I get to my graduation, the more people ask me what my plans are. My parents have had this conversation with me a million times, because of course helping out with my tuition entitles them to call me on a weekly basis to ask about internships and job interviews and where do I plan to live? But what I worry about more is, where will I find love? I look at my friends and they run the gamut. Claire and Jason have been together since freshman year. They're like that benchmark perfect couple that has everything sorted out. They may as well by their side-by-side plots at the cemetery right now.

Over this course, I have learned a fair bit about analysis. I have looked at poetry, in my metaphor analysis, a visual analysis of the South African flag, and I conducted a discourse analysis of Emerson's "Self-Reliance." These steps taught me three key things. First, they taught me to look at things from different perspectives. Second, they taught me to examine the underlying arguments found in all works of art. Third, the process of writing the responses to those assignments helped me to learn more about constructing arguments.

On the first point, each assignment represented a completely different way of examining something. They were more or less straightforward -- a visual item for the visual analysis, metaphor for the poetry analysis, discourse for the Emerson- but when these three are synthesized valuable lessons about perspective emerge. For example, the flag exercise was ostensibly visual analysis, but it drew upon…...

Blair (2004) believes that visual argument provides the maximal forceful power to attract the target audience. It is essential to realize that argument involves giving reasons. Many advert company uses a visual presentation to give more reasons in order attract and convince the public. Based on the history of South Africa, the new national flag serves as a visual argument that the government uses for an advert. Since television advert is visually presented, it has more power than the radio adverts. For example, films provide more visual arguments that provide credible narrative power. Dickinson & Casey (2004) also support the argument of the previous authors by pointing out that photographs serve as a persuasive visual argument. The author points out that supermarkets, grocery stores, super shopping centers, whole-food supermarkets, and health food stores have been using the prints, photography, television, film and photography for visual persuasion. The combination of multiple colors of the South African national flag is the effective tool for a visual persuasion.

Conclusion

After the end of the apartheid in South Africa, the South African stakeholders decided to discard the old national flag and design a new flag that would bring unity to the South African ethnic groups. The stakeholders choose a new flag that composes of six colors where each color symbolizes an identity in the country history. The visual presentation of the flag also serves as a brand for the country that is used for the national advert in the local and foreign countries. The flag sends a message of forgiveness, unity, hope, gratitude and prosperity.

Contemplation and Action: Both Oriented Towards the Service of God According to the exposition of Gregory on action (represented by Martha) and contemplation (represented by Mary), monks and nuns with regard to their vocation, are united in Christ by their respective approaches to the Lord. Christ Himself engaged in both methods—the active and the contemplative—during His visible/public life. He spent nights in prayer and he also spent many days healing the sick, teaching those who would listen, and visiting many throughout the land. His example corresponds with the dual example set by the two sisters, Mary and Martha. Martha engaged in the active service of serving the followers of Christ, while Mary engaged in the contemplative service of hanging on Christ’s every look and word. Both are essential to the life of the Church, as each performs a specific and necessary function in the Mystical Body. The Mystical Body is there…...

It was justwell, odd. Like when someone plops a plate of chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes in front of you, the normal reaction is to, I don't know, grab a fork or something.

CEATIVE WITING Creative Writing: eply to DaviWorld Health Organization (WHO) does not only regard health as the absence of disease but also the physical and mental well-being of the body. The ecological perspectives that play in the surroundings of human beings and interrelate with their existence for sustainability also play a critical role in maintaining health equilibrium (McCartney et al., 2019). However, a complete state of well-being is expected to be achieved with social participation in governmental policies and initiatives for healthcare. First, it is imperative to know how people perceive health themselves as self-reporting could be different for different individuals based on their life experiences, social contexts, and cultural backgrounds. The ideal standards may differ aspirationally since the health-specific needs might be subjected to comparisons. The capacity to function and participate in social activities would be better or worse in different population segments, reflective of the changed contextualization of…...

With social participation, the population could be encouraged to take part in healthcare decisions and make their involvement guaranteed for improving their current health status. It would include all aspects of healthcare, such as planning, organizing, operating, controlling, and monitoring afterward.Social participation would lead to governments making responsive healthcare programs based on Universal Health Coverage principles so that no citizen is left behind (Marshall et al., 2021). It would affect a broad range of stakeholders so that an all-inclusive approach could be facilitated.

.....filled with confidence that I was going to impress people with what I had to say. Of course, when my first assignment received constructive criticism, I reeled. Since then, I have cultivated a sense of humility and a greater realism in my approach to writing. I think more about my goals with each piece, keeping in mind my audience. If my audience is hostile to my ideas, and I am writing to persuade them, I anticipate what they might say to counteract each of my points. Then, I start the process of outlining and jotting down ideas. What I used to find annoying, restrictive, and tedious I now find to be the most enjoyable aspect of writing. When outlining and brainstorming ideas, I do not need to worry about form and style, or tone and diction. All I need to be concerned about is the veracity of my statements, the…...

Creative Intelligence
The first of the four styles of creative intelligence is intuition. Intuition focuses on results and relies greatly on the past experience of the individual or organization in order to guide future decisions that are made. Educators always give consideration to the importance of the past since it is a common belief that mistakes can be avoided simply by taking into consideration the history of the action. From the perspective of the business, every business organization needs to take into account the different patterns that arise and to exercise caution at all times. Through strategic planning, the organization will be able to prepare for all scenarios by forecasting any possible outcomes owe, 2004.

Some of the largest mistakes that are made are as a result of dependence on past results, but so are the biggest successes.

Writing Practice in My Classroom: A Comprehensive Vision

Writing is a fundamental skill that empowers students to express themselves, communicate effectively, and critically engage with the world around them. As an educator, I believe that fostering a classroom environment that nurtures writing practice is essential for students' academic success and personal growth. Here is my vision for how I envision writing practice in my classroom:

1. Process-Oriented Approach:
