Duties of the Officer of Programming and Events

Being the VP of Programming and Events for the Alpha Theta Phi chapter has been a wonderful journey. The position requires loads of responsibility and dedication, but the experience is truly rewarding.  It is a great feeling to know that, as an officer, you play meaningful role in the college community, aside from just being a student in your college. I find it rewarding to know that outside of a classroom I am able to connect with my college by being an officer. In addition, not only do I play an active part in my college, but also in my community.
            By organizing volunteer events such as book drives and toy drive for those less fortunate I can give back to my community.  I find it gratifying to be able to help other students succeed; creating these volunteer events enables students to take an active role in their community and college.
            Aside from working with the VP of Recruitment and Retention aspect, to coordinate volunteer events for the members of our chapter, I also oversee other events that our chapter hosts, such as our induction ceremonies that are held in the spring and fall sessions. My duties are to ensure that all things such as food, volunteers, and pamphlets are in place prior to the event. I am in charge of making sure all these things are taken care of in order for these functions to run smoothly without disorder and or confusion.
            Being an officer is a time consuming activity, but if you manage your time wisely then the workload is manageable. I have been able to juggle both my responsibilities as officer and academics by starting projects that are given to me as soon as possible. Even if I am unable to finish the task at hand on the day it is given to me, I merely start the project as soon as I can and taking a few minutes here and there aid me in the process of completing it.
            I believe choosing to become an officer is one of the best decisions I have made while attending LaGuardia Community College. It is a wonderful opportunity to give back to your college and help other students whom, like you, share the same drive and ambition to succeed.

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 advanc...
