          Nerd society to Honor society, these words might be used to describe my whole life. Well, I wasn’t always a nerd, but my whole life I’ve lived in big cities. This made my life very mechanical and monotonous. In Dhaka, my life was only about going to school, going back home and studying. There were not enough places or time to play. So my life became very dull.
          Soon enough, I also started realizing that maintaining high grades was not sufficient to be successful academically. It’s also about using your intellect to promote change. So, I have decided to get involved. I enjoy tutoring and mentoring my college mates because by doing this I am able to help them and I’ve learned a lot from them as well. On my spare time, I love listening to music, playing guitar, biking and coin-collecting.
          LaGuardia has enabled me to dream big and, it’s given me the strength to commit to these dreams. It’s an honor be able to serve as a chapter officer. It would feel great if my short bio inspires some of my college mates to get involved and dream Big like me! Being a nerd pays off.

Q. Describe Paradise.
A. Lying on the grass on a dark night and watching twinkling stars. It helps me to wipe out all my terrestrial memories, gives me peace and I feel that I am connected to GOD.

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.

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 advanc...
