Writing the PTK Hallmark Essays

Writing the PTK Hallmark Essays was a long and laborious process. It involved a lot of effort from all of the officers and it required enough time and dedication in order for it to be accomplished. The Hallmark Essays were a culmination of all the work that we’ve done since the beginning of the semester. One of the essays that we wrote was about the process of organizing the Honors in Action project, its outcome, and the data that we were able to crunch and make sense of.
            Starting the essay was no easy task. First, we had officers and members answer each question and then we had to narrow the answers down to a certain amount of words. After that, we had to make sure that the essay flows and is free from errors. By the time we were done with the essay, we had gone through it countless times to make sure that we were submitting the absolute best that we could.
            My experience with writing the Hallmark Essays is that dedication of time and effort is absolutely essential. If you don’t spend enough time contributing work towards the completion of the essay, expect to get a mediocre result, whereas spending more time will lead to a better outcome.
            This year, we accomplished the essay in a rush because we didn’t contribute in a timely manner. I feel like the content was good and we did answer the questions comprehensively, however we could’ve done a better job by spreading the work throughout the few weeks that we had.
            Writing the Hallmark Essays can be a very rewarding experience. However, it is essential to do your absolute best to contribute and to do it in a timely manner.

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.
