April Blogger Of The Month

By Anonymous -
Congratulations to our April winner, Hira Gulzar who left the most comments on our blog during the month of April. Read below what Hira has to say about herself:

I moved to States almost a year ago along with my family. Growing in one of the most developed cities of Pakistan, I have always been opened to facing the challenges of life without losing my focus over my ambitions. I have always been a dedicated student since childhood days. Usually it sounds awkward to people but I genuinely enjoy and love studying.I find it the best way to keep myself from the misery of boredom. Getting into LAGCC was probably one of the most difficult decisions. People generally underestimate the community colleges but I feel free to say today how the achievements of the community college students are strongly changing this perception. I am a MATH and SCIENCE major student and this is my second semester here. I am looking forward to transfering to one of the 4-year CUNY colleges next year in fall. My long term major is PHARMACY. I fully aspire to be a pharmacist in the next 5-6 years.

My interests are rather simple. I enjoy family outings, reading world history and watching stand-up comedies. I absolutely adore playing Cricket on weekends. Like most of the South Asians, I also love watching and playing cricket. Moreover, I am also a member of United Nations and like to take part in its fund raising events for different social causes. I don't believe in having a superficial smattering of extracurriculars without any depth or leadership experiences. Last but not the least, I profoundly enjoy the privilege of being an Honor Society member here at LAGCC. I really consider it as something to be proud of for me and my parents.

Morality?

By Anonymous -
By Luis K. Feliz Friedrick Nietzsche observes that “morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.” On the other hand, Alfred North Whitehead maintains that “what is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike.” You should see these quotes as points of departure or teasers to goad your ideas. You don’t need to respond to the quotes above, simply express your opinion on the following questions: 1) What is morality? Where or how did you learn to be a moral human being? 2) Does the definition of morality change over time? 3) What is your definition of morality?

Art and Propaganda

By Anonymous -
By Luis Feliz The following quote is from the essay “Why I Write” by George Orwell: “What I have most wanted to do throughout the past ten years is to make political writing into an art. My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, my initial concern is to get a hearing.” Is the function of literature “to get a hearing?” Please share your thoughts by posting your comments below and don't forget to write your name when you posts your response.

by Djene Keita, This is my reflection on one of the study questions about" Language and Communication" in the Honors Study Guide.  The Human species develops language to communicate and express thoughts. Among the many ways of communicating such as body language, spoken language is  singularly used by the humans and, that has distinguished our specie from other species living on the earth. The emergence of technology in the 17th century and its ongoing evolution has significantly improved our lifes and the figure of the world.  Thanks to technology, a huge progress has been made in different aspects of life. The creation of Internet, Television, Cell phones, etc… has brought convenience and added luxury to our life style. Consequently, communication has become easier and the use of spoken language has diminished.  Although technology has had a significant impact on our lifes, it is essential to point out that its evolution has also been a drawback in the advancement  of
