Thich Nhat Hanh: An Analysis
Thich Nhat Hanh discusses how to happily live with someone else; however, the example he typically refers to involves a family or a romantic couple. For many people, especially college students, there are numerous years that are spent living with others that are not romantically involved with and are not related to. Mindful living is not just for families and couples, but for anyone who shares space with another. This raises the question: how does one practice mindful living with a roommate? First of all, living mindfully is not a one-way street; all roommates need to be willing to make their mutual living space a place of happiness and peace. Happiness is not an individual matter; when one person in unhappy, it can affect the rest. As

    Duong Thu through Paradise and Blind that was published in 1980 shows the tolerance of the people, especially the second- class citizen who suffered in new Vietnam and their willpower to live with dignity where she herself might has had personal experience.

    Thich Nhat Hanh Argument

    In The World We Have, Thich Nhat Hanh suggests having a mindful diet, such as consuming less or being a vegetarian, will save many hungry people in the world and can improve our environment of the earth (23). He claims that because of the unmindful consumption, the earth has a bad situation now and may continue if we don’t make a change. Then he advocates us to eat mindfully, and practice the “Four Kinds of Nutriments” so that we can limit our unlimited consumptions. In his point of view, we are eating and destroying the earth by ourselves because eating meat from animals can create many bad influences in climate change, global warming and even greenhouse gases (25). He deeply believes that by cutting down the meat of our meal or even being a vegetarian will finally solve the hungry problems in other countries and save the environment of our planet. For many people,…

    Han Dynasty Essay

    The Han Dynasty is one of, if not the most successful, dynasties in all of China’s history. The Hans ruled for just over four centuries, one of the longest of the Chinese dynasties. The Hans were preceded by China’s first dynasty, the Qin. The Hans came to power after Emperor Gaozu, Liu Bang, a peasant, defeated the last rebellion against him. As far as power and prestige goes, the Han Dynasty rivaled the Roman Empire. The Han Dynasty ruled in what is thought to be the golden age, which many dynasties can be traced back to. It was also considered to be an inspiring united empire and an unfathomable government.…

    Roommate Mediation: Why College Students Need To Switch Rooms

    This is not fair because some people who just do not like their roommates are able to switch rooms and others that actually get into fights with their roommates are not always able to switch rooms. To fix this problem, I would use the conflict resolution system of mediation. I would use mediation because the roommates would be able to talk their problems out and see if they can come to an agreement without them having to switch rooms. This process I would call Roommate Mediation and this process would work by when one of the roommates is having a problem with the other one they would go to their RA on their floor. The RA would then ask both people if they are willing to attend a mediation session. If they both agree to mediation, then the RA would ask them when it would be an appropriate time for them to meet. The mediation would take place in the study rooms which there is one on each floor of the residence hall. I think this would be a good place for the mediation process to take place because the rooms are quiet, the roommates would feel safe, and there is plenty of…

    United States Department of State V. Ray

    Every year millions of young adults graduate from their respective high schools, pack up their belongings, leave their parental guided homes behind, and set off for college. The first thing that comes to mind when leaving the parents behind is their first true sense of freedom. The freedom to do what they please with no curfew, no guidelines, and no pre-disposed consequences for their actions is the freedom they’ve been working hard throughout the maturing years of their childhood. Upon arrival it seems as though this is the case, but as time passes one realizes that the so called freedom they attained comes with an inherited circumstance. The privacy that you once had in the safety of your home in your bedroom is violated by the inheritance of a roommate and the dorm lifestyle. Some may not have ever had this privacy due to their initial guardians, but the fact remains, that you have to share your space, time, and livelihood with the accompanied male or female assigned.…

    Living on campus is another stressful aspect of my life as a college student. Even though there is a sense of freedom that comes with having your own place to live, it still is a large responsibility to manage. Paying rent while also taking maintaining a stable living environment takes quite a bit of effort and, fortunately, I have survived at least one semester. I’m glad I’ve taken on this task, however, as it’s yet another example of the ways that I have continued to prepare myself for larger responsibilities down the…

    Definition Essay: The Importance Of Respect In College

    Even if you don’t like your roommate it is their basic human right to be respected. There are little things that can be done to show your respect for one another regardless of your feelings towards the other person. You need to respect each other feelings by asking them how they feel, validating their feelings, empathizing with them, seeking understanding of their feelings, and take their feelings into consideration. It is unacceptable to just go and throw all your things all over your roommate’s or not respect their views of certain issues. You can disagree, and perhaps not want to associate with them, but you can’t take away the human right of respect. If you’re conflicting both of you should rationalize and figure out something that is beneficial for both of you. That is a key in respect, taking in consideration the feelings of the other person in…

    Dorm Life Proposal

    The perception people have of dorms in general is definitely not what dorms are really like. Here at Valdosta State, dorm life would be more compared to life in jail. The living environment isn't the greatest in dorms. Living on campus in a dorm is supposed to be homey, like your home away from home, but that is not the case. Dorm rooms are very small, and it's hard living with someone else in such a small spaces. Along with being confined to a small place, there is no privacy. Many people have problems with roommates, and being in a 10 x 10 room with a person you hate is not a very ideal situation. Because of all of this I have come up with a proposal to change dorms as we know them to something completely different and a lot more enjoyable to the future college students here at VSU. I want to propose dorm renovations and how roommates are selected.…
