I'm honored to join the PTK society, not only because it is a recognition of my academic endeavors, but because it is an excellent avenue for networking. In today’s job market, simply having the know-how is not enough and one needs good connections and networking skills to land a dream position. Joining this society provides me not only the opportunity to learn from peers who are successful in their academics, but also the ability to build a network that can help me reach my career goals in the near future. Being a part of this society will also provide me motivation to perform well throughout my school journey so I can maintain my position in the society. In addition, joining the society provides me access to scholarships to help with the rising cost of tuition, and will help my transfer to a four year school go as smoothly as possible. I am excited to be have these benefits and confident they will go a long way towards enabling me achieve my academic and life goals.

Morality?

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?

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?

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.
