Week 4 Critique Review
This was a tough one for which there was no easy response. One of the
things I had hoped to bring out was a question… “Why would my
instructor ask us to look at this situation? Isn’t it obvious? It’s
just as bad now as it ever was.” That seems to be the popular opinion,
especially when reading or viewing media reports. While I asked for
perspective and critical thinking, in retrospect, I do not feel I
properly prepared you. Not intentional, but maybe that’s what happened.

Calling
Home, By Jean Brandt
As we all piled into the car, I knew it was going to be a fabulous day.
My grandmother was visiting for the holidays; and she and I, along with
my older brother and sister, Louis and Susan, were setting off for a
day of last-minute Christmas shopping. On the way to the mall, we sang
Christmas carols, chattered, and laughed. With Christmas only two days
away, we were caught up with holiday spirit. I felt light-headed and
full of joy. I loved shopping-especially at Christmas... read

Associates… Defining Values,
Morals, and Ethics, Frank J. Navran
What is the difference between ethics, morals and values? Let me start
by stating that even among those who believe they know the answer to
this question there is not total agreement. For many, the way you
answer the question is a function of the academic discipline which
shaped your thinking and the religious and/or theological underpinnings
of your personal belief system. So... read

The Essential Ethical Exam,
By Peter de Jager
It's difficult to think of a subject touchier than that of what actions
are "Right" and what are "Wrong", especially when we're discussing a
real life situation. Ethics places not only our actions and behavior
under the microscope, but it also scrutinizes our integrity and worth
as a person. Since Ethics is so personal, it is socially unacceptable
to name names when discussing... read

Community College Communications 121… Communication in Marriage, By
Makayla Wilson
For my written term project, I decided to write about communication in
marriage. What a lot of people don’t know about me is that my parents
are divorced. Not many students at my school have experienced this
themselves. They have been divorced for almost four years now. Since my
parents are divorced, I have seen what no communication in a marriage
causes and can lead to. Even though... read

Hitler: Oratory Genius, By Caitlin Grote

1889 to Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. He was the fourth of six
