Tips for Officers Who Are Going on Vacation During the Summer and Winter Breaks

As officers for PTK, we are allowed to take vacations during the summer and winter breaks. For those who have the opportunity to travel, I definitely recommend doing so because traveling makes you learn about the world around you and it also makes you learn a lot about yourself. That being said, there are a few things that you should remember when taking a vacation.
            The first thing to remember is that you can try to do some of the work beforehand. If you are taking an extended vacation, try to make sure that you do as many of your responsibilities as possible before you leave. This ensures that you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation better without having the need to worry about deadlines.
            The second thing to remember is that you can read the “minutes” of an official meeting in order to understand what happened and be continuously on the loop. The minutes consist of the highlights of the meeting and other essential things that were tackled and talked about.

            Last but not the least, don’t forget that you can still contribute work (for the HIA research during the summer and the Hallmarks Essays during the winter) regardless of where you are in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Your contribution to these components of your position is essential and if it is possible for you to have a reliable internet connection, you should definitely try to set aside some time to work on them.

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.
