The Dumping.2

"We have to talk."

"Oh crap."

"I saw Michael last night."

"And…"

"Well…"

"Well what!"

"We went to dinner."

"And what?!"

"You really want to know?"

"I thought that was over!"

"I can't see you anymore."

"You've got to be kidding!"

"Sorry"

"Why?"

"I'm a glutton for punishment."

"I'm not." He turned his back and walked slowly out the door.

Dialogue Two:

The iPhone Boogie

"I want an iPhone 5 for Christmas Daddy." She waited expectantly as they rode in the car.

"You're eleven." He replied evenly, "Why do you need an iPhone of any number?"

"Madison has an iPhone." She was sure he'd see the logic.

"Then let Madison's parents buy you an iPhone." He tried to sound reasonable.

"But I want an iPhone for Christmas Daddy," major pleading, minor whine.

"I'll make a note of it."

"Really." Major sarcasm.

"And I want you to clean your room. But you can't always get what you want."

"Madison gets what she wants. Her parents care about her."

Low blow. She was firing guilt trips over the….

"
"Stop trying to make me feel better. I want to feel bad now and I want to embrace my entire sad human dimension"

"As long as you also accept it, we might actually get somewhere. Think of some of the nice things you have done together."

"No, that will make me sadder."

"Didn't you say you wanted to embrace your sad human dimension?"

"Yes, but not like that. I want to be philosophical and cool about it. You know, like the Greek philosophers, like that cynical naked guy spending time in his barrel, Diogenes."

"Suit yourself. Maybe you can focus on the future instead of thinking of the past."

"How?"

"Let's have a baby and celebrate life"

"Well, philosopher, what better way to mock human condition than to exercise our greatest ability: that of being able to create and give life? We may not avoid death, but we can certainly create life."

"I have never wanted something as much….

Government and the Economy: hree Dialogues

One of the leading topics in American society today is the economy and the government's role in it; and there are very diverse views on that subject. For more than two years now the U.S. economy has been in a recession. Actions by the government to spur economic growth seem to have had a minimal effect. Many ask what should the government do to address this problem, others say the government has done enough, and more federal intervention can only lead to more problems.

he first subject was a white male, 44 years of age, who is a manager in a supermarket. he subject has a negative attitude toward unions and the amount of money spent by the government on pay and benefits for public union members. He stated that taxes were too high and his money should not be spent on "lazy government workers." As….

Dialogues of Plato
Discuss the following three analogies, tying them in with Socrates' life and mission: a) Gadfly (from "Apology") b) Midwife (implied in Meno) c) Stingray (from Meno).

In Ancient Greece, one of the most preeminent philosophers of the society was Socrates. Unfortunately, he was also critical of the social structure of his culture and thus subject to legal consequences for his criticisms. Finally, the government put Socrates on trial, he was found guilty, and executed via poisoned drink. These three incidences, the gadfly from "Apology," the midwife in "Meno," and the stingray in "Meno" are equitable with the life and teachings of Socrates.

The "Apology" tells the story of the trail of Socrates and the various people who testify to his being a danger to the society and guilty of corrupting Athenian youth. In his defense, Socrates speaks and makes it clear that his accusers are fools and their so-called….

dialogues back ideas. Pride & Prejudice Austen. elationship $ marriage. Begin.: "single man good fortune wife." Also, single, young women possess.
One of the most valued works of English Literature, Pride and Prejudice was issued in 1813 by British writer Jane Austen, and is considered both a romance story and a satire. An aesthetic reaction to contemporary pressures and constraints in the contextual setting of egent England, the novel ventures an attempt to converge social status, marriage, and happiness by means of a love story which overcomes two major faults of character.

Austen begins her novel on a satirical tone with the alleged popular opening line "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" (Austen 1), which hints at the moral and social lifestyle of the early nineteenth century, when great emphasis was put on class,….

Dialogue between Child Peers (Age 4)
This child-study report involves two-4-year-old girls. Ivana and Angelica are both Hispanic and attend a local Child Development Center in a nearby urban community. There are 12 other children in the class (either Hispanic, African-American, or biracial). Two instructors, referred to as Mrs. H and Ms. Debra, facilitate the class. Mrs. H is Hispanic and at times converses with the children in Spanish. Ms. Debra is Caucasian. English is the dominant language of instruction in the class.

Two 15 minute observations were conducted during a one hour morning session. The first 15 minutes were free activities. This was followed by a short teacher-directed music and dance activity, also 15 minutes in length. During the free activities period, both Ivana and Angelica enjoyed coloring at a small table. When the dance lesson began both girls continued to play together as "partners."

Date of Observation: October 1, 2012….

Dialogue With My Dorm Mate
PAGES 4 WORDS 1410

Christ was always present, even before he came to earth, but he waited until humans were able to accept him. The incarnation is still important, as Aquinas would remind us, as this is the ultimate proof of the eternal power and existence of God's power and presence in the world, as spirit even within the flesh.
Luther says: "One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom." A Christian has to willingly and joyously accept the bondage of being a Christian, even though God has left us free in a corrupt world to reject or accept Him.

Thomas: Joyous bondage? C'mon. No one likes being told what do.

Christian: But the faith of a Christian is a bondage freely chosen.

Thomas: I thought religion was about what you were told not to do, and what was fun was wrong.

Christian: Think of it this way -- you're free, if….

Dialogue Between Aeschylus and Plato
Plato: Cities and their functioning are just like individuals and their functioning system, wouldn't you agree?

Aeschylus: I can agree with you up to a certain point. Individuals' functioning system can be assimilated to that of human groups before they organized in tribes.

P: If I understand correctly what you are saying, tribes did not function under the same laws as individuals?

Your understanding is correct, my opinion is that tribes were not governed at all, and that they functioned based on the characteristics of his leader, the most powerful of individuals. Most often, these characteristics are based on heroism.

P: You cannot believe that groups of people were simply governed by heroism! I can agree with you that heroism is one of the characteristics of great leaders, but it is far from being sufficient for governing a tribe or a city!

A: So, in your opinion what are the parts….

This recurrent theme is no accident: most cultures have, as a basis for their creation mythos, a utopian view of either the pre-human world or the post-human world. Sociological, this is a functionalist approach that serves to validate what it means to be a good citizen in society and move towards all citizens being good, and therefore a utopian culture arises. The word "utopia" is derived from the combination of two Greek words, Eutopia and Outopia. Eutopia is a positive place, meaning perfect but not fictional; while Outopia means 'nothing' or 'no matter what.' It thus seems that the Ancient's idea of Utopia, particularly in lato's Republic, is less of an Eden as we see it and more of a template of the manner in which things should be connected in order to provide the best possible society. For lato, this was the ultimate destiny of humans, but seen….

Socratic Dialogue
Francois: One thing I don't understand, bien sur, is this idea that Canada is a multicultural country. Maybe there are two cultures, and I don't mean to sound separatist when I say this, but maybe there is really only one culture. C'est vrai. Canada is not really multicultural, we all assimilate.

Rob: I'm not convinced that's true, mon ami. Even if it is true, that we really all move to one or two cultures, can you say that this is forced?

Marie: I think it is. My people were forced to assimilate. The white man spent a lot of effort taking the Indian out of the Indian. You know about the residential schools. If this country is truly multicultural, why suppress my culture? hy is it that I do not speak my own language?

Desmond: I should probably interject here, because I live this every day. I would say that Canada is….

Teaching Responsive Pedagogy, Dialogue and Leadership the Key to Academic Success
Public schools in the US comprise of students hailing from diverse racial, cultural and economic backgrounds (Pehmer et.al, 2015). While certain pupils belong to poor households, just as many come from affluent backgrounds. According to an ethnic/racial survey performed in 1995, the racial composition of Oak View School located in California’s Huntington Beach and having a 609-strong student population was: 529 Hispanics, 14 Whites, 1 Black, 1 Filipino, 1 Asian, and 1 Pacific Islander. Considering the rich cultural diversity of public schools in present-day urban America, it is vital that school districts and teachers come up with innovative means of working with students hailing from diverse cultural backgrounds, as it is critical to ensuring educational equality and quality for all (Sleeter $ Milner 2011).
Further, the need to improve teaching within a large number of urban schools may be evidenced by the….

The definition of harmony of the fourth book is thus commensurate with the justice of the first book of "The Republic" -- the unity, harmony, and perfection of the ideal forms of the heavens are mirrored in a unified and harmoniously operated state, in the Platonic view as expressed by Socrates. But Socrates, as he speaks to his fellow Athenians in a law-court, making a plea for his life, is far more elementary in his definition of justice -- he argues he is not guilty of the charges of atheism and of corrupting the Athenian youth and rebuts the allegations in a fashion to suggest that it would be unjust, on the terms of the existing law, to convict him.
Likewise, the philosopher refuses to escape the confines of his prison because he argues it would be unjust of him to live in Athens under the protection of its laws,….

What about being in love, for example? The feeling you have for a girl could override everything else and make you blind to her mistakes, right? Or what about the love of a parent? My mom's not blind to my mistakes, but she forgives me for them because she's my mother.
Tony: You're making this really difficult, aren't you?

Mark: I guess friendship is really difficult to define. Can you think of other definitions to apply to friendship?

Tony: Let me think. What about understanding and support? Surely you get these nowhere as deeply or as often as in friendship. A friend would support you in whatever you're going through. A friend would understand all of your moods and share all your good and bad times. There is no better support than a friend, is there? Take for example the thing with Gary. I'm providing you with understanding and support, because you're….

Platonic Dialogues
PAGES 5 WORDS 1679

Plato's Symposium is one of the most widely read of his dialogues. It is said to be a departure from the usual style because except for a brief portion, it is not written in dialectical style. Instead, a variety of speakers have the opportunity to present their view on the topic of love; when they are done, Socrates speaks (Pecorino). There has also been speculation that this dialogue was written by Plato to serve as "a form of brochure for his Academy in Athens" (Pecorino). This is one explanation for the difference in the format.
Apollodorus

The beginning pages are full of banter between Apollodorus and his Companion. Apollodorus has a tale to relate, but he prefaces it with a great deal of introductory information. This makes his Companion, who has grown impatient, say, "It is waste of time, Apollodorus, to wrangle about such matters now. Come, without more ado, comply with….

The Athenians have no dislike of the Melians, and are happy to let the islanders live and let live within the Athenian sphere of influence, but they will retaliate without mercy if they oppose Athenian self-interest in the region. The Melians offer Athens neutrality, which Athens says would be just as detrimental to Athenian interests in the region as an open Melian alliance with Sparta, as it would set a bad example to other Athenian colonies: "is rather islanders like yourselves, outside our empire, and subjects smarting under the yoke, who would be the most likely to take a rash step and lead themselves and us into obvious danger" (Chapter XVII). The Melians say it would be cowardice to not resist, even if it seems foolish.
Does this dialogue prove the rational actor theory of statehood that holds that states always act in their own self-interest? On one hand, the….
