game that must be played to the end or some may
think of it as a journey in search of something.
Im one of those that think of it as. neither. I
think of it as a gift. This gift that God has
bestowed upon us. This gift in which WE have total
control. We control where we go, what we do, whom
we talk to, and what we feel. The one flaw in this
gift is that others and ourselves can turn this
gift, into a punishment. God gave us this gift for
a reason....

Discourse Analysis Social World

I choose to analyze The Simpsons for this part of
the essay. The episode is about Bart not believing
in souls until he thinks he really lost his. It
was quite humorous and I enjoyed watching it. The
first approach I am going to use is socio culture
analysis. I choose this method because I think
this particular episode offers lessons on society,
values and social norms, most of them indirectly.
The Simpsons are a family and their roles are
quite stereotypical of families. Homer, the
father, goes ...

Jesus Christ Truth Beauty

Throughout this class I have developed a solid
understanding of the philosophies of great ancient
philosophers such as Parmenides, Aristotle, Plato.
However the philosopher I find myself agreeing
with most is Socrates. Although there are some

ultimate meaning behind life, which I will later
address, I believe his thoughts on how one should
live their life to be the wisest of any
philosopher we have studied. First, let me relate
