    Ten-Foot-Square Hut

    The Ten-Foot Square Hut is more of a story book to me rather than any religion related book. Kamo no Chomei describe the arrival of the mappo is complete chaos. First, there is a huge fire broke out on a windy night in the third year of the Angen era(1177) in the capital city. The fire was spread widely. Houses were torched; people were chocked to death by smoke or burned to death alive. The result of the fire was “Sixteen mansions of the nobility were consumed by the fire, to say nothing of untold numbers of other dwellings. Fully one third of the capital was destroyed; several thousand men and women perished.” Second, there is a huge whirlwind hit the capital again in the Jisho ear(1180). Four or five blocks of the city were destroyed. People lost their house, belongings, and lives. The southwestern area next to the city was damaged as well due to the wind moved that way down. Third, the relocation of the capital and changing in politics. New capital was built in a different location up north in the mountain area by the sea. Kamo no chomei was also noticed the persons that he knew were riding on horses like the warrior clans instead of sitting in ox cart. People were still living in the fear of the fire. Fourth, the hunger comes around the Yowa era (1181-1182). Typhoons and floods destroyed farm lands and grain. It lasted 2 years. Many people were dead and grain were worth more than gold. Fifth, earthquake. Kamo no chomei mentioned the destruction of all temples first time. Last, People’s mind changed. People’s desire of wealth grows. They become greedy. This is the arrival of the mappo to Kamo no Chomei. It’s like everything that is known to people were destroyed and the old believes were collapsed. Nothing is going to the right direction.…

    Two Sides

    If someone wants to get a point across to a wide audience they must appeal to people’s emotions, logic, or show them that they are credible. In the book The Other Wes Moore the author tries to show his readers that any decision made could change a life in a positive or negative way. Throughout his book, Wes Moore compares the lives of two boys with the same name, growing up at the same time, both in bad neighborhoods. He examines these young men and tries to show when and why their lives changed for better and worse. People cannot choose their living conditions or who their parents are, but Wes Moore shows how the decisions made today can change a person’s future for better or worse. For his audience, use of pathos is the best way for the author Wes Moore to inspire his readers to listen to his purpose of this story and make a change in their lives. To further support his book the author appeals to the audience’s ethos and logos but they are minor in comparison to his appeal to pathos.…

    Sexual infidelity or adultery is defined as voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than a lawful spouse (thefreedictionary.com). Overall, 90% Americans disapprove of sexual infidelity in marriage; however, 15-25% of married men and women reported having intercourse with someone outside of their marriage (Treas & Giesen 2000; Wiederman 1997). According to Prins, Buunk, and Van Yperpen people in unhappy relationships report a greater desire and involvement in extramarital sex (Dollahite & Lambert 2007, cited Prins Buunk, & Van Yperpen 1993). The topic of sexual infidelity is important to research and discuss because several studies suggest that extramarital affairs are the number one cause of divorce (Dollahite & Lambert 2007).…

    3 5 Pg Reflection

    The dyad session experience over the past 6 weeks has been an effective exercise in learning to apply social work skills and theories. I have found great value in self-reflection as well as constructive feedback from my partner. Over the course of the dyad sessions I feel I have made progress and evolved to become a better social worker then I started the class as. Another helpful aspect of the dyads is that they are being performed concurrently to the practicum. At my practicum I have the opportunity to learn and practice counseling skills on an individual and group level. Practicing counseling and receiving feedback through the classroom experience has helped me grow and evolve as a social worker at my practicum placement as well. Critical thinking and analysis using the self-evaluation have helped me become more aware of my skill strengths as well as the areas that need further development.…

    Small Change

    At the end of September, Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine and author of The Tipping Point and Blink, published a piece, Small Change: Why the Revolution Will not be Tweeted, in that magazine making the argument that social media tools like Facebook and Twitter were overhyped as agents of social change at best and at worst, completely useless in helping move the kind of high-risk actions that are strong enough to bring down governments and change cultures. Using the wave of sit-ins that swept the South in 1960 during the Civil Rights Movement as his prime example, Gladwell rests his thesis upon two points. First, movements and high-risk socio-political actions are carried out by people who have strong ties to each other or a strong level of commitment to the movement itself and the actions they undertake serve to reinforce those ties. Second, the momentum and strategic direction of movements requires some level of hierarchy and organization so the energy has a chance of winning the kinds of change the participants want to see. Given these two requisites for large-scale social change, he says, there is no way that social networks will actually be able to play a role in amplifying or directing social change.…

    Pythagorean Theorem Essay

    The Pythagorean theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2) has been impacting all types of people and careers since it was first realized during Ancient Greece times. It is one of the most widely recognized theorems in the mathematics community, and used much more than the average person knows: whether you need need to know the dimensions of a bag or you need find the distance from location to another, the Pythagorean theorem can be used. Everyone who was taught this theorem in their first year of algebra continues to carry on the knowledge into their real life. So, at least with the Pythagorean theorem when those annoying students ask “When are we going to use this in real life?” they will have an answer.…

    Magic Squares

    Magic squares have intrigued people for thousands of years and in ancient times they were thought to be connected with the supernatural and hence, magical. Today, magic squares are considered magical because there are so many relationships between the sums of the numbers in the squares. So, what is a magic square? A magic square is an arrangement of the numbers from 1 to n2 in an n x n matrix, with each number occurring exactly once, and such that the sum of the entries of any row, any column, or any main diagonal is the same (Alejandre), called the magic constant or sum. The magic sum can be found using the formula (n(n2 + 1))/2 for any n x n matrix. There are many different variations of magic squares, of which, some have more ways of finding the magic sum in the square and others use geometric shapes or number words.…

A servant-leader is a person that has a mind set to accomplish, a willing heart, and a courageous attitude. He or she must begin with the end in mind. Also, a servant-leader must develop a connection between the people they help and lead. The movie Darius Goes West is the definition of servant-leadership to the fullest capacity.…
