Read the following conversation
between two students:
Man: How did you do in the exam?
Woman: I passed, but I did not do so
well, the essay question was the worst part for me. how about you?
Man: I did all right on everything
except the essay question, I wasn’t really prepared to write about the tribes
in the rainforests of Brazil. We studied the rainforests for only a few days. I
did not think it would be on the test.
Woman: Me either. I thought for sure
he would ask us something about the Incas in Peru or may be the mountain
peoples in Chile. I studied most of the material on these groups and did not
spend much time on the people of the rainforest. Do you know how much the exam
counts towards our final grade?
Man: I think it is 30 percent.
Woman: Thirty percent! Oh no, I’m in
deep trouble this time! That means I’ll have to get A’s on everything else to
get a decent grade.
Man: That may not be too hard. We’ve
already gone through most of the readings the class is supposed to cover. After
next week it will just be review. But then there is the final paper, of course.
Woman: yes, I was hoping to do well
on this test so I could relax when writing my paper, but now it looks like I’ll
have to spend more time preparing to write the paper.
Man: well, I will too. Hey, I’m kind
of hungry. I think I’ll go get some lunch. Do you feel like joining me?
Woman: I’d love to, but I have to go
home and study. I’ll call you later.
Man: OK. See you later.
read the following announcement by a university official:
On behalf of
the university and the town, I would like to welcome all of you to the
University of North Carolina. This is the oldest
public university in the United States, and we are proud to say that we offer one of the best public education opportunities
in the nation. The school started in 1792, and has
been going strong ever since, with the exception of having been closed for two
years because so many young men left to fight in the civil war. Following the war,
the university opened its doors again and has been open ever since. In this
century, the university has expanded its enrollment to induce women and other
minority groups. Now we are looking forward to bright future where students from
all backgrounds attend this university.
There is no
such thing as society:
“I think we
have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to
understand (I have a problem, it is the government's job to cope with it!) Or
(I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!); (I am homeless,
the government must house me!) And so, they are casting their problems on
society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men
and women and there are families, and no government can do anything except
through people and people look to themselves first. "It is our duty to
look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is
a reciprocal business. Thatcher, Margaret. 1987. ‘Interview for “Woman’s Own”.
Identity and
memory
History cannot be reconstructed without memory. A person without memory is a child. The child has two names, a first and a last name. The first belongs to the child, the second to his father. The opposite of remembering is forgetting. Friedrich Nietshe’s aphorism: Healthy is who can’t recall, stands in opposition to the truism that a person who loses his memory loses his identity. Thomas Jefferson, taking the same view of collective memory, wrote at the end of 18 th century that it is unjust for the dead to impose their laws on the living. Today we draw the opposite conclusion: those who repress memories are, or will become, sick.
The art of
money getting
In the United
States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for
persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field, there
are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded,
that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to
engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative
employment. P.T Barnum
Personality
We have already
seen, in general, that what a man is contributes much to his happiness than what
he has, or how he is regarded by others. What a man is, and so what he has in
his own person, is always the chief thing to consider, for his individuality
accompanies him always and everywhere, and gives its color to all his
experiences. In every kind of enjoyment, for instance, the pleasure depends
principally upon the man himself. When we use the English expression “to enjoy
one’s self” we are employing a phrase to say: He enjoys himself in Paris, not
“he enjoys Paris”. Schopenhauer. The wisdom of life.
