Guidelines for Future Media Officers

By Anonymous -
By Ross Adler

The Media Officer position is a very fulfilling job in PTK. It requires diligence, patience, and a lot of attention to detail. You have to make sure that every event is thoroughly publicized and you have to convey just the right amount of information so that members will be convinced to take a more active role in both volunteering and participating. This is accomplished through various mediums.
Your primary outlet, flyers and posters, should be completed not less than two weeks prior an event. Generally, a PowerPoint is the easiest way to make a flyer and a poster. You can insert blurbs, insert photos, and insert a background with relative ease as opposed to Adobe Photoshop for example. The goal here is to catch the attention of people who are passing by and to convey as much information in as little time as you can.
With Facebook, you have access to over 700 people who have “liked” the Alpha Theta Phi page. Your job is to make sure that this Facebook page stays active and up-to-date with current events of PTK. You can post pictures from events (such as induction and volunteer activities), you can post digital copies of flyers that you have created, you can share scholarship opportunities, and you can even share some of the posts of the main PTK page.
With the LaGuardia PTK website, you have to make sure that the events page is constantly updated as new events are scheduled, the officer page is updated at the beginning of the school year with photos and bios of current officers, and the office hours of all the officers are up-to-date each semester on the "Contact" page. Updating the PTK LaGuardia website can be confusing at times, especially for those who are inexperienced. Luckily, you have advisors who are willing to help you if you are having trouble or if you have any questions. Don’t hesitate to contact them and set up a time to meet with them!
All in all, the Media Officer position for PTK is a very rewarding and humbling experience. Criticism will come. Learn from it. Know that becoming a leader is a slow but a fruitful experience. You will become better and working to improve yourself through this position will help you achieve that!

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? Please share your thoughts by posting your comments below and don't forget to write your name when you post your response.

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.
