Korean People Natural State
632 words
First and foremost, I think Korean art is realized
by its love for naturalness. In everything from
architecture to everyday furniture and ornaments
to paintings, this aspect of Korean aesthetic is
shown. If you look at the furniture pieces made of
wood from the Korea and Chosen period, you can see
that most of the furniture, except for some of the
luxurious ones used in court, have their natural
wooden texture to it, unlike the furniture or
ornaments of China or Japan. Chinese and Japanese

Children Give Elementary School Students
718 words
As I approach Arp Elementary School, many
different thoughts go through my mind. I gaze at
the surrounding area and notice the appearance of
the building. It looks like a cozy building set
away from the busy streets. I watch some children
playing outside during their recess and memories
flow through my mind. The energy the kids posses
is reviving to my inner child. I had a strong
feeling to go play on the playground with them.
The boys were running around yelling, playing, and
screaming. The gir...

Visions Of The Crime Committing The Murder Raskolnikov
690 words
In the novel Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor
Dostoevsky, suffering is an integral part of every
character's role. However, the message that
Dostoevsky wants to present with the main
character, Raskolnikov, is not one of the
Christian idea of salvation through suffering.
Rather, it appears to me, as if the author never
lets his main character suffer mentally throughout
the novel, in relation to the crime, that is. His
only pain seems to be physical sickness.
Raskolnikov commits a premeditated mur...

Complain About Wearing Attention In Class Uniforms
423 words
It is in the middle of summer and very hot and
humid. You are in complete uniform, wearing the
long wool pants with the shirt, tie and sweater.
Your whole body is uncontrollably sweating.
Instead of paying attention in class, you wipe
yourself down every second. Uniforms are
uncomfortable, cause distractions and are
expensive. They serve no purpose in getting the
proper knowledge that one is in school to earn.
One that is not comfortable, may not concentrate
in class. He / she will move around t...

Emotional Distress Indigenous Population

Denial as a Method of Dealing With Political
Violence People chose every day, in a myriad of
ways, between denial and self-knowledge. Most of
the time this choice is innocuous. A parent may
believe their obviously lying child rather than
accept the emotional distress that comes with be
lied to. The body politic may believe an
unscrupulous politician rather than to get out and
work for real change. Many times, however, denial
may have far-reaching and disastrous consequences.

different environments. King was raised in a
comfortable middle-class family where education
was firmly stressed. Malcolm X, on the other hand

In the last few decades, there has been a rapid
change in social attitude towards so-called sexual
problems. There has been a call for the freedom to
live in the style of which one chooses, so long as
no one else is harmed in the process. One area
that appears little understood, however, is
transvestitism, or cross-dressing. In order to

People In Our Dorm Brings To A Conversation Time

Coming from a family with strict rules can have
its disadvantages. For my roommate, Phil, this is
especially true. While he was in high school his
parents controlled him and his actions immensely.
For example, his dad regulates his music selection
when he is home. He is not allowed to listen to
music that contains vulgar language. Now that he
is in college, and away from his parents, the
freedom is something he is not accustomed to. With
these freedoms come many responsibilities. Such

End Of The Story Educated Man

What is the difference between the living and the
dead? Is simply walking, breathing, and going
through the motions of a living being applicable
enough for one to be called alive, or are such
unemotional, detached actions more appropriate for
the dead? James Joyce deals with such questions in
the novella The Dead, as he portrays a story of
the living dead, in which the antagonist, Gabriel,
comes to the realization of his false attempts at
full livelihood. Through Gabriel, Joyce

The correct definition of meditation is to think
constantly of something. You become that on which
you meditate. Think of God, you become God. Think
of stone, you become a stone. The only thing that
the process of meditation is really meant to teach
us is to remind us that there is something above
from which we have come here and it is our first
duty to get back where we belong. Meditation is
not only meant for the saints it is meant for
everyone. Another point to emphasize is that, the

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said It is a luxury to be
understood. Why is it that you can say the exact
same thing to three different employees or
coworkers at your company and get three different
reactions? One will give you a blank stare. The
second will respond with a stream of excuses. And
the third understands what you are saying and
comes up with a suggestion that you hadn't even
considered. Why are some people able to listen
actively? And why do others seem to just not get
