Synthesis Paper
I.
I haven’t heard of FFP during the first semester actually. I just knew that the following semester I would be needing a white book with a flame print on it. I really didn’t care about the subject so much even though I was already attending the classes. To tell you the truth, I thought that FFP would be the simplest subject in my load but as it turns out, it proved to be quite stressful. Not bad stressful but good stressful, okay, maybe sometimes bad stressful. I learned a lot of values from this subject especially about myself and God. I’m sure that my journey in this subject is one to be remembered… forever.
II.
The first module seems to be more focused on the academic side so I learned various things about my life as a student. Competitiveness, leadership, cooperation, punctuality, responsibility, diligence, consideration and more especially about those two famous words an Atenean would know, Cura Personalis, which means caring for the other person. Truth of the matter is, I could care less about other people until came across those sacred words. Well, I’m not gonna lie, I don’t care for others entirely but I consider their feelings and the situation.The module also taught me about handling stress which was very helpful because I get stressed all time not just on school work but also with my personal life. Most importantly, the value of leadership. I was chosen as the leader of my group but sometimes I can’t help to neglect my responsibilities due to laziness but I overcome my tired state and perform the best that I could.
III.
The most significant learning in Module 2 would be the very inspiring man that goes by the name of John Foppe, a man disabled since birth but despite the lack of arms lived a very happy life share with a loving, caring and supporting family and understanding and true friends who according to Mr. Foppe “not laugh at him, laugh with him”. After the film showing of this unsung hero of the lost souls I began reflecting on things

    The topic of Source One is how explorers and colonists of the New World took part in horrific, illegal events to colonize the foreign lands, but yet they were not the ones who suffered from these events. This phenomenon is portrayed in the source through the image of a wanted poster for Christopher Columbus, where Columbus is wanted for several offences including: genocide, racism, initiating the destruction of a culture and rape. The poster also goes on to state that the reward for Columbus is “500 years of tourism”. The reward symbolizes how despite the atrocities that the explorers and colonizers took part in, they would be remembered throughout history for their accomplishments and not the horrendous events that brought them to those successes. The illustrator’s perspective on the source is the idea that colonizers of the New World were…

    Museums bring history and culture to life by allowing individuals to gain unique hands on experience that is different from learning from textbooks or television. One can never know the reality behind certain artifacts and art until they see it for themselves. The perception of viewing a multitude of replicas and pictures such as the Mona Lisa can be dramatically different from witnessing the painting up close. The interactive experience allows one to engage and immerse ourselves back into time to learn about the truth of different cultures and traditions. The intent of museums is not purely to enthrall historians and scholars, but to create an environment which is welcoming to all individuals. While historians argue that museums…

    The focus of this article is the bias found in evolutionary and endocrinological studies. These studies serve the purpose of defining and tracing human nature through evolution and present times. Evolutionary studies address the description of human descent from primates. These studies seek to outline the sequence of changes and mechanisms of action that make up the evolution of humans from primates. The general theory of evolution is used to reconstruct history with facts and evidence from fossils and other remains. Endocrinology is the study of how hormones affect human anatomy and physiology, behavior, and cognition.…

    Compared to the technology we possessed before 1980, Our technology today is significantly more advanced and it is only the beginning. As the use of technology has increased dramatically in our everyday life many argue that it can be very useful, but others can say that technology only seems to be affecting the way Millennials think and process information. Mark Bauerlein is a prime example of this way of thinking, he declares that all of those under 30 years of age, also known as the Millennials, constitute the dumbest generation of modern history; and technology is the main culprit.…

    Moral obligations can be seen a variety of different ways, depending on the person. Some may think it is a person’s moral obligation to submit to a law even if they believe the law is wrong. Others think the opposite, if a person believes something is unjust why would they follow it. Everyone has a different point of view and after reading The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, The Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr., Laws Scarlet Letter by Korobkin and Lyceum Address by Lincoln, it is important to follow ones conscience. This may seem unjust, but is it just to support an unjust law? This is where the controversy comes in, and why after reading these three types of literature, the idea of supporting something unjust is completely wrong and breaks down the justice system.…

    In the face of adversity, the beliefs of an individual may be greatly altered, or even liquidated, leading to the lack of execution or bad behavior. Even if a person with strong beliefs and morals is put into a difficult and unexpected situation, they may completely and unwillingly disregard their beliefs and morals and act accordingly, or not at all. Around lots of people, when bystander apathy or diffusion of responsibility is present, the individual may be affected by it as well. In Night, Elie knew that his father was “on the brink of death, and yet [he] still abandoned him” (Wiesel 11). Elie had prayed to the “God in whom [he] no longer believed” to never abandon his father, yet at such a difficult time, he simply did it (Wiesel 97). In the Perils of Obedience, the subject, Prozi, first “[refused] to take the responsibility” because the subject was in there “hollering” (Milgram 23). Immediately after the Experimenter said that he was “responsible for anything that happens to him”, the Prozi simply said “all right” (Milgram 23). This proves that the majority of people in a difficult situation will simply wait for somebody else to take responsibility for any wrong doings, or lack of action at all. If the experimenter remained silent, Prozi would have immediately stopped, knowing all responsibility lay on him. In the face of adversity, anyone’s beliefs can be changed, either because the individual is dumbfounded and doesn’t know what to do, or because they know that the responsibility of something horrid, is not…
