Have you ever thought about to becoming a Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society officer? Do you know about what it means to truly take responsibility for your actions? Then, a PTK officer position is the right option for you. Most people think that the President and Vice President are main cast for an organization or committee. However, if there are no supporting officers, like a treasurer, then an organization cannot work effectively. What does the Treasurer do? The Treasurer manages all the financial aspects of an organization. The success of an organization depends on whether or not the organization is able to develop and adhere to a budget. For example, money is involved in most of the organization’s activities and projects. The person who oversees all of these financial activities is the Treasurer. A great reason to be a treasurer is if you're considering going into a career that deals with finance, such as becoming an accountant or investment banker, because during your term, you will learn to file paperwork, generate reimbursements and maintain an expense spreadsheet tracking expenses. I strongly recommend members to run for the treasurer position in PTK because you will develop a work ethic, experience how to become an effective group member, and help other PTK members on many occasions. It is worth using your extra personal time to invest in your extracurricular skills because in return there are many opportunities. So now, it’s time for you to take action and make a step forward to become an officer.

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.
