¶ … Healing the Heart of Democracy is a good one because it highlights the central ideas of Palmer's work, namely the need, in his eyes, for true bipartisanship and compassion towards one another. While this of course is idealistic and positive, the reality of democracy in America is much more sordid, as representatives are bought and sold by Big Money and are essentially unaccountable to the citizens they are supposed to represent. If enough Big Money backs them, they are bound to win elections as the mass of people in America are either indifferent to the corrupt politics of our time or else controlled by the media, which is also backed by the same Big Money that controls our politicians. Bipartisanship is not even a word that matters in reality; in idealistic heads, it is a great thing to strive towards; but in the real world it is just a talking point and nothing more. The reality of politics is so unbelievably shady that every American should be heartbroken by the fact that unless there is an actual revolution, nothing is going to change.

This response to Palmer's book also highlights the main point of the work, which is that we are all in this together and therefore ought to try to get along. The response, however, does not take into the fact that we are not all in this together -- there is a definite...
This 1% is mixture of individuals from various backgrounds who use one another to advance their own agendas: for instance, many of our people in government are dual Israeli-American citizens: where is their loyalty and how can such persons be involved in the administration of our nation's affairs? It is outlandish to think, therefore, that we are all in this together; it is more accurate to point that we are "all" being held down by the powers that be, who have a clear agenda as far as foreign and domestic policy is concerned, as far as monetary policy is concerned, as far as social welfare is concerned, and on. It would be more accurate if Palmer were to assert that we are not all in this together but rather that we need to realize that it is us against them -- and we need to know who we are and who they are. I would be happy to see someone point this out in their response to Palmer's book, since it is such a basic flaw in his premise.

This response states that according to Pew Research Center, Democrats and Republicans are further apart on issues than ever before -- but I do not believe this for a second. They might quarrel…
psychological trauma, and how does she relate it to repression? What evidence does she supply in support of her claim? Do you agree with her stance on this basic issue? Slater, in her usual creative style, believes the current methods of dealing with psychological trauma to be ineffective in regards to the identifying a root cause.

Such peace-building involves "creating structures -- systems of behavior, institutions, concerted actions -- that support the embodiment or implementation of a peace culture."15 This is what the author's call multi-track diplomacy. It involves individuals who are not normally involved in the peace process, particularly business
Jesus' Teachings, Prayer, & Christian Life "He (Jesus) Took the Bread. Giving Thanks Broke it. And gave it to his Disciples, saying, 'This is my Body, which is given to you.'" At Elevation time, during Catholic Mass, the priest establishes a mandate for Christian Living. Historically, at the Last Supper, Christ used bread and wine as a supreme metaphor for the rest of our lives. Jesus was in turmoil. He was
Creative Writing Portfolio Over this course, I have learned a fair bit about analysis. I have looked at poetry, in my metaphor analysis, a visual analysis of the South African flag, and I conducted a discourse analysis of Emerson's "Self-Reliance." These steps taught me three key things. First, they taught me to look at things from different perspectives. Second, they taught me to examine the underlying arguments found in all works
