Today in Class, Mr. Schick gave us notes on how to write notes. He told us about life in college. In college, teachers give lectures. They usually have more than 100+ students. Teachers don’t have time to answer every question. Then Mr. Schick told us about his birth. Apparently, Mr. Schick is the messiah. Then he told us about Illinois. Illinois has more people than every other state in the Midwest. Then I found out that more than half of the population of Illinois lives near or in Chicago. Also, Illinois is full of plains. Mr. Schick was born in Chicago, In December in a unknown city. Just like Jesus Christ??? Then Mr. Schick gave us time in class to work on our blog. I started to work on my blog but I didn’t get to finish. In Conclusion Human Geography is very, fun and I think it’s my favorite class.

Human Geo

Today In Human Geography class we went over how to add gadgets to our blog. I had added a gadget to my blog the night prior. After that Mr. Schick stressed the importance of Wikipedia. Apparently not every random person with an “unknown” agenda can change Wikipedia. That is news to me. Mr. Schick really likes Wikipedia which kind of makes sense. Wiki has a lot of information that other websites don’t have half of. Also Wikipedia is free , which makes it easy to access as long as you have Internet access. That was pretty much how class “went down” today.

Essay #1:  Give your original definition of arête, and describe how Socrates and the ancient Greeks demonstrated this quality.

Arête is the highest state of being a human being can achieve physically, spiritually and emotionally. I believe that Socrates demonstrated this behavior by standing up for what he believed in while in court. Socrates was asked to apologize But, Socrates did not apologize because he knew that he was right. I believe that standing up for what you believe his Arête. Arête is excellence of the highest nature, and fighting for what you believe in (when in the right) is excellent.  

However, I think that the Greek’s exhibited on a day to day basis. For example in Spartan Society, Men and Women strove to be the best they could physically. However in Athens men and Women strove to be the best they could be mentally and physically.  Both city-states had an emphasis on Arête in their cultures. This shows that the Greeks showed Arête in important aspects of life.

Essay #2:  Imagine that Elbert Hubbard and Socrates have time-travelled to the present.  Describe what they would think or say about life.

Elbert Hubbard would be disappointed in life nowadays. He would be heartbroken to find out that almost no one in this world strives for arête on a day to day basis. There are no “hard workers” anymore; people just go to work for money and nothing more. He also would be disappointed in the way “America” does things. America is a Capitalist country (Technically half), but Elbert Hubbard believes in Capitalism. In conclusion Mr. Hubbard would be disappointed with life today.

Socrates would be proud of life today. Imagine a country that is democratic, that everyone has their own say and no voice is ignored (Almost). Socrates would be overjoyed, because in Socrates native Greece you could be killed (like he was) for expressing your thoughts but in America, you can say almost everything. In Conclusion, Socrates would be happy with life today.

Essay #3:  Assuming that you think that excellence is a good thing, write out a five-point action plan that  describes how you are going to approach your career at the John Carroll School over the next four years

• 1.      Pay Attention in All my Classes.                                                                                               I am going to pay attention in all my classes so that I understand everything that is going on in the class, at all times. If I can understand what my teacher teaches me , test’s and quizzes will be a breeze.
• 2.      Homework
• I am going to do all my HW this school year. Regardless of the time or amount I am going to do it. Usually HW is a big problem because I like to wait until the last minute. But this year I will try not to do that.
•  
• 3    Not Quit
• I will try my best not to quit anything at John Carroll unless I have to. Giving up will not be something I do this school year.
• 4    Organization
• I am a very messy person when it comes to keeping a binder. This school I’m using a computer instead of a binder, but that can get messy to. I will try to keep all my files in a organized fashion that way I don’t get unorganized.                                                                                Have Fun
• Sometimes if you Work too hard you forget to have fun.  This is the only time of my life that I get to go through High school, so I should just enjoy the ride. That doesn’t mean that I become a bum and not do any of my assignments. It just means that I don’t stress to hard and I have a good time.

That is my 5 point Action Plan to becoming Successful At JC.

Today In class we finished the movie “God Grew Tired of Us”. I was amazed by what these hard-working Sudanese guys accomplished. John Doe got his high school diploma and his Associative degree. He made an organization for Helping Sudanese lost boys and girls. Also, he was reunited with his mother. Panther got his bachelor’s degree and is stilling looking for his mother and father. He moved back to Sudan temporarily so that he could marry his girlfriend. He also plans to build a school in Sudan. The third Sudanese lost boy is still living in the Job Corps.  I don’t think that the Job Corps was a good idea for john. I feel as if all the other Sudanese youth did better than John because they didn’t join the job corp. Anyway I really enjoyed the movie and in summary every one life was better. That is my summary of today’s class.

Fourth Day Of Class

August 31^st, 2012

As class started we went over Wednesday’s homework. We talked about Greek life, and the start of their 

democracy. I already knew that Greek Philosophers were the founders of Western Civilization, but I didn't 

know about Socrates. Apparently, (According to Mr. Schick) Socrates was an ugly man with many controversial ideas. He questioned mainstream school of thoughts and made his own conclusions about life. He did something that I could never do. I could never go against the world like he did. He was a master debater and teacher. Using his self-titled method, he out-witted common man by allowing them to see contradictions in their argument (I wonder if he instigated a lot of fights).However, I think Socrates is stubborn. When time for his execution he was given a chance to apologize. However he didn’t, because he believed that he was right. That is understandable. But before it was time for him to drink Hemlock, he was given another chance to go in exile, yet he denied it. He was stubborn, he could have escaped with his dignity and life, but he chose the wrong choice. 

But in Conclusion, Socrates was a great philosopher and was one of the minds that developed Western Civilization.
