Even before you are born your name has been chosen. A name is something you can attach to your identity but it is not everything. A name does not define who you are, it defines who your parents are. Names are used to help make communication a convenience. Without names humans would not be able to communicate with each other. How would we save phone numbers in our phone? Hurricanes are named so we can differentiate one from another. The hurricane’s name does not explain the identity or how strong the hurricane is. Our past, life choices and actions define your identity more than your name.
Our past is more important than our given name. As humans we make many choices, good or bad they define who we are. If we make a good choices then we can be proud of our self but others will be proud of us too. If we make a bad choice others might not want to be around us. Good choices and bad choices make our reputation. A reputation is how others people see others. The way humans see other humans is part of our identity. Identity is something we cannot change very easily. People can create their own perception of others without even asking your name. In high school everyone has a reputation. Even though you’re not in high school forever, you will have a new reputation as your life continues. As Humans we always have a reputation that defines us. As we grow and change our identity but our name stays the same.

Our life choices do not affect our name. Your personal decisions are solely committed by you. Your self-confidence affects many of your choices. Friendship is one of the many life choices humans make and help you grow as a person. Throughout my life friendship has defined me well. If I make a mistake in life my friends are people I can fall back on. When you lose a loose a friend it was your choice to let them go and that defines your identity. You are the only to decide who influences you. Friendship is part of you identity because friends help you

    The unknown project was a very good realization of me and my partner going out by our selves. The very first day of the Unknown project I was acquainted with Denise who was very friendly and was very nice as far as assisting me in the project. The first day we were introduced too various different forms of the unknown such as broth, Blood agar plate, MSA plate, MAC plate, and the EMB plate. Before that we had done the 3 phase isolate which we had a possible of 10 points of achieving. In the isolation plate we had too take the sample of our unknown, which was the letter G. After we had done the 3-phase isolation plate we inoculated half of the plate, which was the S/D media. The Plate’s that we had provided too us were the BAP, MSA, MAC, and EMB. When we were successfully inoculated the S/D media the plates were put in the Incubator at approximated 37 degrees Celsius. The second day we had came into the laboratory we had too read the Nutrient Agar plate that was the one that we had too the 3 phase isolation plate. My results were somewhat correct but I had a lot of backtracking. After that we had too read the S/D Media, which we had, too diagram and describe each of the plates that we had put in the incubator. Once they had come out of the Incubator the results that I had achieved was the MSA plate was yellow, stinky, I did have growth, there were a positive match for small colonies, and was shiny.

    Will Durant, a U.S author and historian, writes, “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.” This means that all the knowledge people once had is misleading to what the truth really is. Similarly, in Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and Frederick Douglass’s “Learning to Read and Write” a painful process of gaining knowledge through all the ignorance is described. Plato describes a prisoner going on a journey to gain knowledge that is behind him, after he was stuck staring at a wall of shadows his whole life. He goes back to tell the other prisoners of his discoveries and they want to kill him. Douglass is a slave who learns to read and write, going through stages to achieve each step. As he begins gaining knowledge he finds the truth about slavery which startles him. Socrates’ idea that gaining knowledge is a difficult journey to undertake because by doing so it changes the way people see the world, as proven by Douglass’ experiences.…

    Power 2

    One’s power and position in a society can give them the “right” or ability to name or un-name a person. Someone can gain this right by his or her status socially, financially, and even racially. If it’s their own child, of course, they have every right in the world to name him or her. But in some cultures, as is evident in “No Name Woman”, they have the right to take away someone’s name if they have disgraced their family and/or community. A name is very significant because it gives a person a sense of who they are, an identity. In “No Name Woman”, Kingston’s aunt had no identity except for the story her mother told her and in “Mary” Marguerite’s new boss, Mrs. Cullinan changed her name to Mary which then, in a way, removed Marguerite’s original identity and gave her a new one, one she didn’t want.…

    english 101 research paper

    What is death penalty? Death penalty is when a state or the government issues the punishment of execution to some one who has committed a crime. It has always been one of the most highly debated issues in the United States. Many Americans are against the capital punishment or commonly knows as the death penalty because they fear its too expensive or there are religious reasons to oppose the death penalty or some other reasons. But my point of view is just like the bible and what it says "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" meaning if you killed some body you ought to be killed also. Most people aren't worried about the life after committing crimes because they know that the laws aren't strict enough to make them to stop committing crimes. To these people, laws don't hold them back from doing what they want to do. Capital punishment is mainly used for murderers and other serious criminals dangerous to our society. People who oppose the capital punishment clearly don't feel the pain and the trouble the victims and their families has gone through. So, is capital punishment necessary? Yes, capital punishment deters crime and gives closure to families of the victim.…

    My Name By Sandra Cisneros Analysis

    After we are born, we receive our own names. Names are chosen not by themselves, but by their family member’s. That is the first gift the baby owns and of course, it is free, but not everybody takes the free gift if they don't like it. Just like me and the girl I had read about in the article, “My Name," by Sandra Cisneros. We both don’t like our names because our names are not English names; indeed, it’s the different culture name.…

    Describe the Agents of Socialization

    Friends or peer groups can have a big influence on our identity as well. Close friends who we see on a daily basis can be just as important to us as family. Other friends that we see in certain social settings such as work or school are considered secondary agents. In the earlier years, parents are careful about who they let their children become friends with because eventually the influence of friends will be stronger than the influence of family as the child grows older. Also as we get older society judges us based on who we are friends with. If we hang out with people who do drugs, other people will think we do drugs when in actuality we may not (Vissing, 2011, Chapter 2.4).…

    uniqueness in names

    Names are the single most important things in a person’s life. They can dictate your whole life, from the relationships you develop to the opportunities in life that you are offered. A person with a unique/different name may not make friends as easily and may not be as social because of the shame of having a different name. The drama that comes with unique names is a lot to handle for some because of how people butcher the pronunciation of your name or maybe even how others might make fun of it. With a name like Anmol I can tell you how both those reasons held me back as a child and made me hate my name. It was hard introducing myself to others because the sounds my name were not natural and I had to pronounce it in a way that didn’t scare the person off. Being such a social and friendly kid I had to resort to my nickname of Mol which has stuck with me for so long that my full name seems like a distant past. My nickname just sounds better and I feel much more confident when introducing myself. This goes to show that names can boost or decrease your confidence and cloud your identity if you don’t know how to make the name your own but if you do and show others that judging you by your name is not the same as knowing you and your personality then anything is possible for you as an individual. Though my nickname makes me feel more comfortable I am coming to the realization that I am the owner of the name and the name does not own me.…

    What Is Individual Worth?

    My identity began from the moment I was named, my parents gave me the name Victoria because I am their victory, their only child. Throughout my life I have competed, whether it be through a sports night or at a dance convention I have always really tried to make my participation in an event something more than just arriving. At times in my life thus far I have realized things don't always happen the way I want them too, and I may not always come out on top but if I have gained experience or learned anything of value from what I've done then I would consider it a success. I feel as though without knowing about my name's meaning and how personal it is to me I am another ordinary person just moving their way through life. With my LDS (Mormon)…

    My name has become a big part of me, even though not many people know how to say it correctly. Sometimes I never really know when someone is actually trying to get my attention or not because they dont say it right. People mis-pronounce my name because it is spelled so differently and it's an Indian cultured name. A lot of people have definitions to their names but if you look mine up, it will tell you it is not defined yet. Which to me that just means i can be whoever i want to be and i dont have to live up to a name i can make it my own.…
