This point is important to remember in order to truthfully answer the question of whether there is ever a situation in which a person should hide his or her true feelings. The answer to this question is a resounding “yes.” Feelings, whether characterized as true or not, are not rational but, rather, emotional responses that fluctuate randomly. One day the bird is sweet, the next he is irritating. Hence, the question of whether to hide one’s feelings loses its moral component (after all, why is it wrong to not express every trivial feeling?) and becomes more a question of practicality. The only question one need ask is “does expressing this feeling produce a good result or a bad result?”.

Here is a simple example. Susan asks Bob if her haircut looks nice. At that moment, Bob is not used to Susan’s haircut and his feeling is that it looks quite awful. If he tells her that, he is expressing his true feeling of that moment. However, it does not make sense to do this. Susan may get mad or hurt, she can’t change her haircut now, and it may result in Bob sleeping on the couch. Applying this practical analysis, he should say he is not sure.

Some may argue that Bob is morally wrong to not express his true feeling at the moment. But a day later, Bob actually changes his mind. He has gotten used to Susan’s new look and actually likes it. Now, it makes perfect sense for Bob to express his “true” feeling. Susan will feel good and Bob will have a happy day. This example also illustrate the fundamental point: in the human mind, there are no “true feelings” only “current feelings!”

Autumn also brings with it a renewed sense of activity with the academic year starting in most schools, which instills a sense of nostalgia in those of us who remember their younger years with a tinge of melancholic delight. The time is also perfect for walks in the country, perhaps in the late afternoon when the sound of church bells and the general atmosphere blends in so well with the landscape that starts to turn yellow again. As October turns to November, it does get slightly cooler and one can leave behind the lethargic heat of summer where inspiration is so remote and delve into some interesting projects before winter begins its inexorable approach.

Lately, autumn does seem to come slightly later than usual due to the climate change and other atmospheric phenomena, but still the end of September is always a rewarding time for me personally. Being a music lover, I also have a soft spot for Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘Autumn’ concerto which is a part of the ‘Four seasons’ and which is, perhaps, the work that is most overlooked and underappreciated from this quartet. Autumn is definitely my favorite season and I always recharge my batteries when it comes along. It is quite close too, so I am looking forward to it with anticipation.

For the students preparing and delivering an address represents a major skill set. Composing a speech or presentation would require them to assemble notes, references, and statistics relevant to a given topic. Putting these together as a coherent whole would develop their ability to coordinate elements, in a logical and comprehensible manner.

A clear, concise script, the one that conveys relevant information with minimal jargon and no grammatical errors is essential for making a good speech. Effective oratory requires rehearsal. This process would develop a student’s capacity to project confidence and competence in voice, posture, and movement. These qualities could also be of immense benefit in other walks of life.

It is not often that one is called upon to address a crowd. In an atmosphere where emphasis is laid on training graduates in disciplines specific to a dwindling job market, there may be a reluctance to devote time and resources, to a “non-essential” skill. If the college has a large student body, it could be difficult to schedule sufficient hours per week for each speaker. Assembling an audience for every presentation and finding suitable venues might also be problematic.

Financial constraints could come into play when budgeting for the additional facilities required for every speech. The cost of slide projectors, presentation software, or even photocopied handouts might prove difficult to justify to official auditors.

That said, the considerable benefits to the student would suggest that public speaking should be made available as a course option or module.

        

Man is heralded, by man, as keeper of the world, whether because of religious doctrine, a sense of responsibility, or feelings of superiority man usually feels entitled to this role.As these keepers of the world man has created “order” with laws and social codes. It is when man is given ambigouis or lax restrictions concerning moral conduct that his true savage nature has the opportunity to rear its ugly head.

Cetain undesirable human characteristics such as unbriddled ambition and greed find their roots within man’s predatory nature. And when placed in an enviorment lacking cogent moral restictions, this predatory nature takes hold of the individual. This aspect of human nature has been clearly illustrated in both life and art. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies,is a great example of this. When left on an island to fend for themselves, a group of young boys turn into savages. Without the lack of constraint society provides, greed, murder, and cruelty run rampant.What should be innocent childern murder another child and vie for power.

The Lord of the Flies is one of many classic novels that examines the effects of the absence of social and legal constraints. Without the positive sanctions offered by a society for positive behavior, and the legal consequences in exchange for immoral behavior, total chaos ensues. The benevolent nature of man becomes virtually non-existant.

        

I have many great ideas in working towards a positive change in our school community. Some of my ideas I wish to put into work are fun raisers to assist in raising funds for special school programs, starting programs to enhance the students test scores, letting voice be hard on certain issues, and many other wonderful ideas I will bring to the table.

Many times, younger students are overlooked for their preceived lack of commitment and dedication to a program or project. I would bring an enthusiastic spirit and willingness to not only join, but enhance with the ideas I spoke of above. Support of the adult leaders of the program is key for the success of any program involving youth. Communication amongst the members and an openhanded approach to new ideas is also necessary.

In conclusion being apart of this organization will give me a chance to bring the student body and staff relationship closer. I will be a voice for my peers and work hard for the betterment of my school. This may assist me in choosing a career path. I will like to leave you with this quote “ it is not the quantity, but the quality” and I would personally like to thank you for your consideration.

While arriving at the park, there are many things to see. The first things you see are trees and flowers, children and parents, swing sets and slides. As you begin to take your walk, the sound of children laughing and playing arouse your curiosity of what they are doing. You notice that the majority of the children are playing hide-and-go-seek. A few of the children are playing on the merry go round. When they get off, they are stumbling from dizziness. The children are laughing and pointing at one another when they fall.

        

Teenagers are meeting at the park to roller blade and to skateboard. Every teenager is being careful not to fall and hurt himself or herself, so they use safety helmets and kneepads. At this point of your walk, you notice families having reunions with their relatives. You can hear their laughter and voices filled with happiness. The smell of barbecue hamburgers and hotdogs begin to fill the air. Moreover, there are families grilling chicken, eating potato salad, and devouring baked beans.

Noticeably, the trees are beginning to turn colors of red, orange, and yellow; the colors of autumn. As the wind blows, the colors of the leaves blend together into a beautiful portrait that God painted for us. As your attention shifts toward the sky, you see Blue Jays and Cardinals flying overhead. The birds are desperately searching for food to feed their young. The sound of the birds chirp makes you think of a song that you heard at church the previous Sunday, and you begin to sing it aloud.

You begin to see many different types of flowers with various colors. The flowers’ colors consist of red, blue, green, purple, and pink. Looking closer, you see butterflies with many different designs on their wings and it reminds you of a kaleidoscope.

The park is a very interesting place to go and see many different things. The park can be a place to go and relax, a place to go and play, or a place to go and thank God for everything He has made for us. I suggest that everyone take advantage of being able to attend the park for little or no cost at all. The park is a perfect place to go for any age, and everyone can have a good time.

        

Take, for example, my cousin. She is a beautiful girl (not a blonde), but at age twenty years old she still steps in it all of the time! She seems very intelligent. Nonetheless, she absolutely refuses to take any of her parents’ valuable advice. She does not learn from mistakes and acts as if she knows all, yet they are complete morons to her. She dates the wrong kind of guys, lets her friends lead her around, and is always getting money stolen because she leaves exposed to theft. She recently rented a house with one of these nice friends (against our advice and predictions of doom). They got kicked out after a month! She and the roommate would go to work while other friends who did not live there partied in the house. Previously, we asked her not to make this move, and especially not to move into this all-elderly neighborhood. As predicted, the old people complained of the noise. Soon she will call again with some ridiculous excuse of how something just happened and she has no idea how it could have and it was not her fault.

Of all my pet peeves, I feel that people who refuse to use correct pronunciation of a persons name or a particular word is just repulsive. This one person our family knows calls a mutual family businessman Mr. Arledge when the real spelling and pronunciation is Mr. Aldridge. We correct them repetitively to no avail. Mr. Aldridge has jokingly suggested changing his last name to Arledge; He said, “so that my name will finally be pronounced correctly by this person.” Needless to say, the person did not take the hint.

Equally as annoying are certain drivers who commit major road infractions! Individuals that wish to make a left turn; I wish they would use their blinker and/or get into the turn lane. I hate going down a main roadway when someone comes to a stop in the passing lane to turn into their favorite fast food chain! There is a turn lane there for them to use, but no way, they have got to cause an accident to make that simple maneuver. Furthermore, I hate when people misuse the yield sign. Why do they stop when there is no oncoming traffic? Similarly, why do people not merge when someone is coming onto the road from a ramp or yield area? For the life of me I cannot figure people out sometimes. I am not saying I am perfect, but common courtesy on the road ought to be a given.

Now I am accepting to different languages and even slang terms, but Ebonics is what really makes me laugh. I do have a tolerance to this dialect, but it is only because I had a good friend in high school that is African-American who I picked on about her use of certain terms. Here are a few terms that are incorrect, but I have to laugh about: police ociffer (officer), senrority (seniority), confurrsed (confused), and frew (few). I can talk Ebonics as good as some African-Americans at times, but I choose not to use Ebonics in my every-day language. I love to hear Ebonics though; even if only for a laugh.

People must think before they react to things. It takes minimal brain usage to listen to proper pronunciations. Consequently, it takes little or no brain to think out the pronunciation and speak it. It will not harm you to take advice of elders or people who have had similar life experiences. Not using common sense or being a complete blithering idiot will cause you tremendous embarrassment, get you hurt, and quite possibly get you killed. Just a tad of reason will get you far enough in life to get you through things very easily.

In my life, I have zero tolerance for stupidity and ignorance. I just wish everyone else would consider the same in their lives.

        

For starters, it was very hard just to stay focused in that brouhaha they called a classroom. First of all, the students in my class were 90% class clowns. They would talk throughout the whole hour and made it so that the other people couldn’t learn. In addition, the teacher had a quiet, laid-back voice, which didn’t help. If I didn’t pay close attention to what the teacher said the whole hour, I would miss something important. Listening closely was practically impossible with the whole class talking the whole hour. Also, the teacher must not have believed in yelling or getting after her kids because she would just keep talking through the others’ voices. Her theory was that she said things once and that’s it. To try and fix this I switched seats with one of the clowns from back to front, thinking I would be able to hear the teacher better. This helped a little but it was still difficult.

The second reason this class was hard were assignments called “current events” due every week. This is where we had to find a newspaper article and explain it to the class. These articles had to go along with what we were learning that week. We had to go in front of the class and expound it to everyone. This was hard to do, putting aside the fact that we had to dodge spit wads and paper airplanes; we had to talk about it for 5 minutes without reading it word-for-word. If we weren’t up at the podium for at least 5 minutes or didn’t explain it thoroughly enough we would get an ‘F.’ The teacher being strict about current events made it even harder.

Another hurdle were the tests and how often we took them. We would have two tests every week. Somehow the teacher would find a way to make a 50-question test out of just 2 days of learning. Sometimes I could swear that we didn’t learn half of the stuff on the tests. That was one of the reasons why the tests were so puzzling. There would be essay questions on every test, too. Our teacher was a former English teacher so if our essays weren’t perfect then she would take off major points, and the essays were worth the most points. As a result, I would usually get a bad grade if not fail the tests. I would basically have to rely on my homework to pass the class.

An additional hard part about government in my eyes was memorizing the constitution. First, we had to write all of the amendments down. Then we had to take that home and memorize all of them in 1 week. It was hard for me to memorize 6 let alone all 27. When the time came we had a test over it. There wasn’t one person in the class who passed that test. In addition, it was on the final exam too. That was a very difficult and frustrating part in government.

Lastly, the teacher assigned us to do a government video. The good thing about this was that we could do it in groups. We had to pick our own groups, and they had to be anywhere from 3 people to 6 people. My group had 6 people in it. The teacher informed us that this video was worth almost as much as our mid-term exam was. This got everybody to do it and most people took it pretty seriously. Then she gave us a paper that noted all of the information that had to be on the video. I remember looking at the paper and my jaw dropped right away. There was so much information needed for this video. I knew that if we didn’t have every little bit then we would be marked down a lot. We had to tell about famous people, famous memorials, places, flags, structures and much more. Worst of all, we only had 2 weeks to complete it. So our group used the whole 2 weeks we had and made it as good as we could. We ended up getting a c- on it.

Finally, the class ended. I was very worried that I had failed the class and was going to have to take it over again next year. When I found out my grade was a ‘D’ I was very relieved. I didn’t have to worry about the annoying noise, difficult homework, and important projects anymore. I was so thankful that I wouldn’t have to retake the hardest class I have ever taken.

        

There are a vast amount of important values out there, but I feel family is the most important. My family provides me with the love and care that I so desperately need. Older siblings also provide me with advice about growing up, parents, and so much more. Without my sister I would be completely lost. I rely on my family greatly and as I get older I realize that no matter what I will always need them and want them in my life.

Another valuable aspect of my life is religion. I have grown up around Hindu beliefs. Since I was little I remember my mom taking my sister and me to the temple. I remember the smell of incense and the visions of the ornate shrines. Growing up in that manner has made me value my religious beliefs greatly. Without God, I would not be here right now. It is very important to me to understand and practice my religion. Without it, I would have nothing at all.

The third most important value in my life is my friends. They are always there for me no matter what I am complaining or crying about that week. My friends are the softest tissue I could have ever found. Friends are the ones that can offer the most insignificant advice such as which shoes to wear with which dress or the most significant like which parent to live with. No matter the value of the problem, my friends are always there. No feat is too great for them. Through the laughter and through the tears, I know I can always count on my friends.

Furthermore, I choose not to submit an essay of previous work because, I do not wish you to have my essay as property of your own. I feel the only way you should claim an essay as property of this site is if you pay the essay writer per essay, and give full credit to the writer, or hire someone to write essays for you.

        

You should not claim this to be a free site, for it is not a free site if I have to pay by my own essay, to read an essay, already posted on this site. I simply wanted a brief synopsis of Othello, for myself to read.

I could understand charging, if one was using this site as a “cliff notes”, or if one was using this as a site to get out of their own research to cheat in school. But, we are assuming that is not what this is for, so it is wrong to charge an essay for an essay, when you get to keep my essay and claim it as your own, while I do not get to keep your essay as my own.

You can accept me in your “membership only club” or you can deny me the right to read your essays that are posted, that is the beauty of having an internet site of your own, you can do with it what you please. I feel that you can shove it up your arse. There are plenty more sites like this, and again that is the beauty of the internet, you are not original.

So if someone takes the time to read this joke of an essay, I hope I wasted 15 minutes of your life, like you have wasted 15 minutes of mine with this petty “membership” deal, and i hope you got as irritated as I did.
