Becoming a Part of PTK

by Dong Ju Lee
My name is Dong Ju Lee, a current student at LaGuardia Community College studying Business Administration. I believe that I am an individual who is driven by motivation and rooted in inspiration. I strive to become a better student every day by putting in my best effort to get closer to achieving my goals. My short term goal is to transfer to Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College for a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, and my long term goal is to attend NYU or Columbia University for an MBA in Finance. With the opportunities that the PTK Honor Society provides, I strongly believe that it will help me to advance myself as a student, and exponentially grow as a person. Two years ago, I was faced with a devastating situation as a student. Financial hardships disallowed me to continue school, and that had only made me want to attend school more. The restrictions to higher my education helped me to work harder as a student, and I now think that was a great learning experience. I always strive to improve myself as a person to become a better fit for the society. I believe that with the benefits such as online courses, scholarship opportunities, and involvement in the community will allow me to achieve all of my goals. I know that the opportunity of becoming a part of PTK is not granted to just anyone but if given the chance, I will put in my best effort in my abilities to be an active member. In the remaining studies I have left at LaGuardia, I would like to devote myself in activities such as food drive, and volunteer events to involve in the community and school to be of help in any way.

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...
