¶ … older soul, I'm so much younger now. It's interesting that by participating in the local academia environment (even in the business realm) some of my fundamental beliefs are challenged, though still not overthrown. Learning to actively engage those around me via the written word, has opened my eyes, ears and mind to the understanding that everyone (including professors and instructors) have their own personal agenda to espouse. Understanding that one thought has helped me understand my own agenda; that is to pass this course (along with all my other courses) receive my degree and enter the workforce as a more rounded (some might even call it jaded) comprehension of how academia and the business world differs. An example of those differences can be found in my earlier writings; words first written to appease the mighty academic machine now sound foolishly arrogant in retrospect. For example; in one of my first attempts at writing for this particular course, I penned the words "sustainability now has expanded to envelop a plethora of disciplines," I now laugh at my feeble attempts at sounding as if I know and understand how the business world really works. My attempts, however, are not as if they were without purpose, instead I believe that I learned not only how to manipulate thoughts and words on the page, I also learned to constructively think through problems associated with different agendas, and to critically analyze...

...

They were also filled with idealism and socialistic ideas that on the surface sound good when spouting off to ones friends and fellow students, but in retrospect are somewhat simplistic and displaying a lack of real world experience. This is an understandable circumstance, since most of my fellow students are just as inexperienced in the business world as I am, and therefore we all tend to have a rather idealistic viewpoint of how the world should work. Whether it really works that way or not is yet to be discovered (at least by me).
What I did discover was that I could use the written word to set forth my ideals…

So, we see that women are committing to their partners even if they are older than their male companions, even if they rarely get married to them, they enter and stay in a stabile relationship. We have every reason to believe that women are in it mainly for the psychological comfort. But what about the men? Young men can date women of any age, given the fact that youth

Soul City As long as I can remember, I've been able to read the minds of men. Mostly men, although some women also yield themselves to me just as readily as they do. When I was in my mother's womb, I could sometimes hear her singing to me. She'd rhyme my name with big words like soliloquy and annuity and anonymity. But my name was no accident. My mama knew I

Existentialists look at life differently, and so does Morrie. Where others would become depressed about their growing dependency on others, Morrie sees it as a chance to "experience" being a baby again, something that was important in his life but he no longer remembers. He has a different way of looking at things, and this seems like a better way to manage the stresses of life. Not eternal optimism,

Given that archetypes appear consistent across dreamers, the impact that culture has on the meaning of archetypes and dreams, and the fact that mourners consistently have the four types of grief dreams, it seems logical that culture would impact the appearance and interpretation of archetypes in dreams. For example, given that, culturally, the mother plays a more central role in the African-American family than the father, it would seem that

Mitch and Janine also talk to Morrie about marriage. Morrie calls it an important life experience all should have. In learning about another within marriage one continues to learn about oneself. By the 11th Tuesday Morrie has become extremely helpless. In this session, Mitch is able to shed his self-consciousness about Morrie's increasingly infantile needs, in order to help Morrie breathe, which is now very, very difficult. They also hold

There were times when waiting was necessary but such waiting did not result in my being psychologically damaged. Air conditioning was a fan in the window and, amazingly, we somehow managed with only one television. My father largely dictated what we watched but Saturday morning was my time and I took full advantage of it. Growing up all I ever wanted was to live in a similar home. Now,
