1st Reflection Paper
By simply breaking down the word Philosophy you get "Philo" meaning love or active pursuit, and sophy/sophia meaning wisdom. This allows the distinction between a philosopher and a non-philosopher to be easy. A philosopher is a person who loves and/or purses knowledge. I think a philosopher is someone who thinks logically and asks a lot of questions about everything. Someone who wants to know answers to why things are the way they are; how everything got that way, and loves to ask "why?". A non-philosopher, on the other hand, is someone who is complacent with the way things are, and the existing knowledge of the world and universe. They do not pursue more knowledge of anything and everything like a philosopher does. A non-philosopher is someone who does care to ask "why?". When comparing my life to one a “philosopher presumably leads,” I believe my life is similar in a few ways. The life a philosopher presumably leads is one that is full of thought, and questioning. A life striving to gain more knowledge. First, I really enjoy doing things that make me think. Activities that allow me to use logical and outside the box thinking intrigue me and I cannot get enough of it. Second, I love learning new things. In my spare time I find myself enjoying watching thought provoking television, such as discover channel, history channel, etc. Philosophers are people who love learning new things and asking why. Ever since I started taking college classes I began to enjoy learning, asking questions, and finding new things about the world and things around us. Before I got to college I simply accepted the facts that I was given without much thought or question. Now that I am in college I find myself wondering why something is the way it is, or asking about how it came about.
In my opinion, some specific qualities that I have that might make me a
Reflection 1 London as Art Capital JD Lee Upon arriving at the National Gallery, the main entrance hall facing directly toward the Trafalgar Square was quite modern in its design and also had small staircases to the first room of the gallery, which gave me some sense that the journey of exhibition starts right after the staircases. After the staircases, there was a central hall filled paintings on the both sides and also there were three doors leading people to three different kinds of rooms. This…

Amanda Boeing HESA 110_Reflection Paper The Ebola Scare On almost every social media site, the word, “Ebola,” is mentioned in some way, whether people are making jokes or freaking out. When I first saw this word, I had no idea what it actually was or why it was such a big deal, so I did a little research to find out what all this hype was about. On MedPage Today, I found an interesting article, “Ebola: Dallas Patient Gets Investigational Drug,” written by Michael Smith. While reading this article…

it in their organizations or not. According to me, a good leader should welcome change. The current life is a race. If we fall back, we’ll be vanished. So a technology leader should be innovative and put his organization on par with his competitors.

The CISCO CEO states that “The economic benefits of innovation, which include greater productivity and leadership in new markets, are what will ensure…
My reflection paper is a reflection on what I have learned from my class and my understanding of the Christians views. In my paper today I will discuss two topics that deal with Jesus Christ.

These topics are very controversial and they are the ones that I struggled with in the beginning and/or struggle with today. The Fall of Man The theological definition for the fall of man is the transition of the…
Personal Reflection 1 Name: Zhi Ling Liew Student number: 500551761 Today’s class was really interesting and enlightening about the issues of homelessness. I feel that I’m actually closer to being homeless if I don’t have the supporting network I have in my life. The youth I see wandering around the street can really be me if my family is unable to provide me the basic needs., for example, a home. It’s unbelievable the things we take for granted in our day-to-day life. Knowing that 60% of the…
