- 6113: Cheever's "The Nanny Dilemma": Personal Reflection
- Cheever's "The Nanny Dilemma": Personal Reflection After having read the story by Susan Cheever, I am left with many different thoughts and responses.

This is a startling fact, our society is so ... that has been given to us for free-family. Consistently struggling to become bigger and better, we are inadvertently losing sight of the values of family, and in doing so we are promoting our children's kids to act in the same manner. Another interesting point I received from this reading was regarding the nannies themselves. As described in the story, many nannies come from other countries/cultures trying to ...

- ... the New World Order, relatives and friends breathed a sigh of relief when the Iraqi armies were stomped by a margin of about a thousand to one. The troops would come back alive. They wouldn't come back healthy. In the years following, veterans have died or are dying from illnesses known commonly as Gulf War Illness (GWI). Researchers are still trying to pin down the exact causes of Mycoplasma Incognita (GWI), but they aren't getting very far, thanks to military and government denials that there is such a thing as Gulf War Illness.

- 6118: Hamlet
- The reluctant character Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, has become one of the most cited characters in history. Throughout Shakespeare's play Hamlet knows what he must do, but avoids it in his mind. The problem is: why does hamlet delay in avenging his father's death? Hamlet is afraid. He is afraid of failure. Hamlet tries to play off his fear by blaming outside circumstances, like doubting the existence of the ghost when he knows in his heart it is true, and not having the right opportunity to exact revenge. What it all boils down to is a belief in himself, or lack of, that is a lack of self confidence. Hamlet's excuse of doubting the ghost is displayed in his actions when they meet. "Be thou a spirit of health or a goblin damned,/ bring with the airs from heaven of blasts from hell,/ be ...

- 6120: Friendship
- Friendship is a necessary aspect of every human’s life, as we are not self sufficient in and of ourselves (Other Selves, pg. 30). Despite its necessity, in some cases we are either forced or morally required to end these relationships. When the trust between two parties has been broken, the loyalty of the friendship is soiled, and it is therefore a true and just action to end the friendship. First, let’s define what it means to be a friend. Friends can be described as: “an intimate associate, reliable, one who is not an enemy or foe, an ally, etc” (Webster’s, pg. 540). Thus, based upon the definition of a friend, we can assert that friends should not betray one another, regardless of the circumstance. This is true, if and only if, it is in ...
