Learning is not limited to the classroom. Throughout my life I have enjoyed reading books. Fiction allows the mind to wander, unbound by terrestrial concerns. Reading non-fiction provides a fast paced, informative way to acquire diverse information in a wide range of subjects. I enjoy reading philosophy, history, and anything else that is well written. One book that recently caught my attention was Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. The book ingeniously combines pop culture with economics and provides an interesting avenue to understand why things happen as they do.
Using statistics, the authors note many interesting coincidences that ...

The series itself would focus on the first year of college for the first season, and then the second year of college for the second season. The first couple of episodes would establish the overall setting and style of the show, what television and film workers refer to as the “mise-en-scene” (Bordwell & Thompson 15892).

I first became fascinated with the story of the Titanic when I was ten years old in 1997 and saw the movie, although later I learned that Cal Hockley, Rose DeWitt and Jack Dawson never really existed at all. It would have been nice if they had, but at least the movie inspired me to start reading books about what really happened on that fatal voyage in 1912, starting with Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember. Over time, I learned many details, such as the fact that Thomas Andrews, the architect and designer of the ship, really existed ...

I am writing this essay in order to formally announce my desire to join your Master of Arts in English Studies program. As a non-native speaker of the language, I have always been fascinated by English and its place in world culture.

Life is filled with vicissitudes which prompt people to respond and react accordingly. Some challenges are extremely unexpected requiring introspective skills to turn events towards one’s favor. I strongly believe that the ability of a person to surpass obstacles in life depend, not so much on the innate ability to be resourceful; but more so, on the unselfish desire to contribute to improving the welfare of others.

I can never forget the ...

If I were to select an historical figure that has had the most vibrant and direct impact on me, it would be Benjamin Franklin. An American inventor, politician, philosopher and innovator, he is a figure whose resolve and imagination I have perpetually admired. He never rested, moving from discipline to discipline in an attempt to master all of them. He held an immense curiosity about the world around him, both in nature and in his fellow man. That type of altruism and sense of exploration is something I have held dear to myself, and hope I can merely come close ...

While in high school, I became interested in sociology when I took a class about social and cultural phenomena. It is fascinating to watch cultural trends change over time. My goal is to become a journalist so I can study and report on sociology.

Cultures differ on what is acceptable behavior in their society. For example, people from the United States shake hands when they greet each other while people from the Japanese culture bow when they greet each other. Why? How did these different behaviors develop? What is the significance of each behavior? Researching these differences interests me.

Another social ...

When I was a child, I was young, aggressive and rebellious; thinking back on it, it was likely a product of my parentage, which was never the most loving and accommodating of relationships. I did not work very hard in school in my younger days, missing the change to get enrolled in a prestigious high school by doing poorly in my third grade of junior high; ...

The financial struggles my parents faced never discouraged their commitment to provide me with the best possible education. As the child of a Hispanic mother who was only nineteen years old when I was born, my earliest days started out in Brooklyn, New York. Although parenthood must have been overwhelming, my mother never let life’s challenges dismiss her own education. Despite the financial struggles of raising a family while young, my parents emphasized the importance of education by making it a priority, which often meant working harder than most to make ends meet. Graduating from St. John the Baptist Diocesan High ...

“Maleeha, take care of your parents. Take care of others around you because there is no reward greater than helping those in need.” My uncle and I were having our last conversation. I was twelve and he was dying of pancreatic cancer. Looking back, I didn’t truly understand the situation, but I did know that it was bad. Hadn’t I just seen my father, the rock of our family, break down and cry?

Although I shortly lost my beloved uncle, something good did come out of that last conversation. To this day, I can still hear ...

At the ABC program, I made friends with people from around the world with a wide range of cultural backgrounds. My friends and I organized events such as table tennis and chess tournaments. I was involved in community activism and partook in fundraising ...

Among Internet users, it is difficult to find anyone who does not have one or even several profiles in social networks.

Undoubtedly, social networks are the greatest technological accomplishment that promises scores of opportunities, however, it also might cause a lot of trouble. Of course, one cannot claim that social networks is one continuous harm, just as it cannot be said about video games. With proper, disciplined ...

Travel and Tourism Management

P1.1
In the era of the roman republic many of the rich went to spas and coastal resorts. In the ancient Chinese culture, the aristocrats went on pilgrimages to the sacred mountains and to Mount Tai in China. As the middle Ages progressed, another type of travel and tourism developed. In Christianity, Buddhism and Islam there was the category of pilgrimage in which all of the members of society became engaged. This type of travel and tourism entailed endeavoring for long voyages in order to find spiritual or physical improvement while appreciating the sights along the way. This ...

Abstract

The profession of Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound is a kind of profession that needs enough level of maturity, sense of understanding and the capacity to handle difficult situations with the patient. I believe that it is not sufficient for a sonographer today to be a specialist in the technical aspects of the profession such as expertise when handling equipment and accurate diagnosis of results. Modern day health care requires a degree of humanity amongst medical professional, a facet of the ultrasound profession that is often not given sufficient emphasis. Ethics play a critical role in this field and, hence, studying an Ultrasound ...

Question One

“The world is not a friendly place”. I guess the first time I heard of the world’s harsh nature was when my mother told me not to talk to strangers because many children were abducted that way. My friends told me stories of nights they had been followed home by odd looking people although I figured that most of these stories were exaggerated all the same. I did not believe that the world was such an evil place, but I was an obedient child. One day, while walking home from school, my friends and I were stopped ...

Perhaps it is clichéd to say, but the world is increasingly interconnected. Jet travel and the internet facilitate international dialogue in ways hitherto unimagined. In earlier ages, for an individual to visit another nation required vast resources and involved much personal risk. However, today, direct dialogue with people on opposite ends of the earth is a commonplace occurrence, and the completion of large transactions, advanced levels of education, or negotiating the finer points of an international treaty, occurs daily using modern communication infrastructure. Today the international traveler is quite usual, and personal connections with people from other parts of ...

Throughout life I have always set goals and worked hard to accomplish them. Some were easy – others were not. The easy goals accomplished were earning the number one academic rank from middle school through senior high school, winning the U18 National Saxophone Championship in 2005, and attending college in the states. However, after being admitted into college, I was lost with the new found freedom of being away from parents. And this was the beginning of experiencing challenging goals.
During the summer of 2010, I realized that I was not doing anything with my life since returning home ...

My family history, culture, and environment have all been intertwined and are the main forces that have influenced who I am today. I was raised in Florida and both sides of my father’s family have been in Florida over a century, and my mother’s parents came here 40 years ago after moving from New York.

My father’s grandfather was once Sheriff of Sarasota County, until the 1929 stock market crash and the county could not afford to pay him. My father told me about this many times and as I got older it was very enlightening because ...

Computers have always fascinated me. This interest started when I was little and evolved into a full-blown passion. I still remember the first day I laid eyes on a computer: I saw people fiddling with Mario Typing. The idea of working with computers hit me like a lightning bolt. I told myself, “This is what I’m ...
