ASINMENT# 11 carl jung

"We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgment of the intellect is only part of the truth."

This quote speaks realization and awareness to me and can teach a lot to people who are willing to take it in as a part of life. What these words say is that the world is more than what is told. Also that truth is too big to understand or write down on paper. So if you as the reader choose to take this and make it a part of your reality or to discriminate against it and ignore it, it is always your choice but I hope that you will find its true meaning. In the way I see it the universe has no real truth but points of view and that is what makes all the difference.

In many ways some people might see this as nothing but a lie and they might be correct but they would only be enforcing the quote by being correct. In the way I read it this quote it says that there is no actual absolute truth because it is only part of a larger truth and we cannot base our lives on the small portions of reality that are now scientific discoveries. There are many things that science cannot explain by following its own rules.

One way of explaining what I mean is a religious scientist who practices Christianity. In this religion god made everything, while on the other hand science says that both matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed. This is just a contradiction between belief and science. There are some people that will believe nothing but what their religion teaches them and will shun all other ways of explaining event of the world or how it all really works.

In reality there could be a truth. It could be a small and simple one or a colossal complicated fact. But now what was once truth could have turned into myth then into legend and eventually receded into plain and simple stories .But the truth if ever was known by anyone is now lost completely or distorted into rumors or fragments of religion.it is a fact that all folklore has at least some basis of truth, even if it is a completely different event it was or could have been to the person who witnessed it.

            In conclusion this quote is truth or a portion of it at least like it exclaims.

ASINGMENT #9 THE HORROR OF CHILD ABUSE

What is happening to this world that could ever let this terrible sin be committed? I am usually a very open minded person that would attempt to understand all sides of a story but this is a topic I seriously feel that should be dealt with. I will apologize in advance for my harsh language I am very familiar with this topic and my mind will speak freely about this. Child abuse is nothing to joke about. It is an extremely crucial problem that should not be allowed to continue. It already affects millions of people in the United States. Now try to imagine the rest of the world. As human being all who know about an event like this should speak up and seek a solution because it is not you who is being hurt it is another life that Is just starting off in the world and has no way to defend him or herself. You who have been guilty of this terrible crime or even you who have known about this being done somewhere near you and thought it more convenient to stay silent I hope that you try to see your acts in gods eyes and do not start crying in pain and agony begging for mercy when you are forever burning in the deepest pit of hell with the rest of the dammed for eternity.

Why do people do this? Well one of the reasons I have found in my research about its cause is that the adult responsible for this act is usually himself in a mental state of anger or frustration and has no one to blame but him or herself, so he does not accept this fact and takes it out on someone else. Of course that someone being person that cannot defend themselves against what is being done. Who is being targeted by the abuse? Well there are many people who are being hurt by abuse, be it emotional, sexual or physical for example gays are one of the many people that are abused. A person’s sexual orientation should not be a reason to abuse someone. There have been many cases in which someone’s parent show neglect towards a child for being homosexual, that will lead to an increase in the chances of someone committing suicide, using drugs, and doing the things done to him to someone else. Well as it has been proven many times in the past abuse is something that will bring nothing good to the world but more hatred and further abuse. Think about it this way if you are the victim of abuse for several years the result of that would be frustration. Now how would a person who was abused and knows no other ways of releasing stress do to get rid of his own, well the answer is simple, that person would do what he knows which is abuse others to feel better about his own problems.

 So the simple basics of it are that there is no way to solve it except stopping it from starting or intervening before it develops. There are many types of child abuse and many reasons that people try to use to justify their actions but the truth is that no matter what way you want to look at it these actions are just immoral (wrong). It is impossible to pull this problem from the root but it’s not impossible to assure that it won’t happen again. Most of society would like to look the other way to believe that the world s a happy place where all is right only to prevent themselves from feeling guilty about being part of the problem which they are. Their silence will only cost children more pain for they say they are not doing anything to support it, well they aren’t exactly doing anything to stop it.

What some people ignore is the mental physical and emotional toll that it is taking on the actual victim. This victim should be supported or they might believe the whole world is in such lousy shape (and it kind of is), this could lead to things such as trust issues. Well overall the outcome of this is unpredictable and could cause even more troubles like homicide and suicide. Now the child may not do be able to do anything about it witch would lead to “learned helplessness” a mental problem that would lead someone to feel trapped or defenseless at times that may not call for such feelings, this could harshly affect a person’s social life. There are people who have been subjected to these horrors and manage to go on to lead perfectly healthy lives, when in reality no one can ever forgive and forget completely such a memory. In the country there are multiple reports of child abuse, too many to count, but the united states are still admired by some counties for its peace. The united states fails to understand how critical this problem is and chooses not to tell the rest of the world. This being important its not the point, the point is that if the united states a country admired for peace has such a magnitude of this problem the numbers of other counties or even the rest of the world are unimaginable. It may be hard to fully understand but there is almost an entire generation of children suffering from abuse from their parents, friends, relatives and others that may have untold consequences on society. The solution to this problem of suffering is to do our part to stop this horrific menace so that future generations may be free and not the least bit affected by the degusting ways of our time. I do so hope that this blog has made you somewhat more aware of what the next and current generations are going and wil be through and that you will do something to change not only yours but another person’s life in the process, if you wont do anything to stop it who will.

Assignment #10 MY INSIDE WORLD

            As I arise from a deep and dark sleep filled with memories no longer retrievable. I look up to find the first glance of yellow sunlight in a window inserted in the top of my sealing. I see the sky in all of its glory, colored in with the most soothing shade of blue. The sun peeks in through and its shine gives warmth to my heart and soul leaving me to feel in total peace. I wipe my eyes gently with the soft sleeves from my sleeping clothes marked with really complicated shapes that are so intense that you can get lost its color. I move my sheets away from me for the sun’s warmth is all I need I move toward the latter that leads down to the ground floor. I stretched to grab on to the rail around my bead. I stand up to grab the wooden latter carved with small pictures of events that fill the brain with stories of adventure. I go down it to find a couple feet under my bead the small compartment that holds up my morning clothes. I take them as I continue to climb down to the floor level. As I touch the floor covered by a white carpet i take some time to put my morning clothes on.

 I start to walk toward the door on the walls hang posters of people who have made their mark on the world and are always looked up to be it from fiction or reality they will always be there. The wall painted to look like the ocean and all of its wanders, so realistic you could find yourself crashing the wall attempting to reach for the sand or seashells because of its deep detail. The room is wide full of things that I hold dear like a wooden crate full of old toys. I step up to the end of the room to find my enforced metal door so large it could let in the biggest guest. It is cold and well bolted to the walls. It was like the gate of a castle holding everything out. It is kept together by a powerful lock made of nothing but the air. I reached for the key made of nothing but thoughts and creativity, so I proceeded to open the gate. As I tuned the colossal key it made a loud clanking noise, simulating as if a gun had been fired. As soon as I let go I back away and it all stays silent. The lock turns itself into mist taking with it the chain up into the door. The door slowly stars to open allowing a silent but intense force of air into the room.

I start to walk out to the hallway outside the room. The floor is made of stone. It gives of no cold or warmth. Its walls are a void of nothing. A color so black it could lead to madness and depression. It is a path to infinity that leads to nothing. I take steps towards the end of the long hallway where a rectangle shape is shining. Nothing can be seen outside for it is so bright and as I walk through its nearly blinding luster my eyes adjust and I can see. There is a wide room with a bright and cheering wooden floor. Its walls painted in crimson red color and from it hanging on the wall there is katana that has no flaw and its handle is covered by gold and raped in red cloth when its blade is stainless and gives of vibrations so strong it appears to be alive. Its edge glares and cuts the very air without moving. Under the weapon on the head wall there is a fireplace that never dies out. It is overwhelming and its green flowing tails are wonderful to look at, the fire is the very symbol of glory.

 In the center red couches with a white trim are forming a wide circle in the middle there is a stainless glass table, under it there are only three skinny bronze legs that should collapse under its weight or tip over. It was in perfect balance and harmony with in itself. the room has very wide windows witch let in all of the sun's rays witch gently reflect from the floor. There are two ways to leave the room in the first the door's detailed frame made of carved wood. I follow it and open the wooden door to find my orange kitchen filled with many stoves where the scent is of baked bread and exotic spices. to the left is my fridge three meters tall that when opened it holds in it a cold mountain that holds all of my food buried under its blanket of snow that if looked at carefully has a blue tone in it symbolizing it is un touched. I walk to the other door and its frame is pure silver with a gothic theme to it. The door handle is a transparent crystal that is not quartz or diamond but its transparency reflects the sunlight back with a new feeling of renewal. I turn the handle and open the door where you can see the sunlight entering and filling the inside with shine.

 Outside is a stone walk way that is surrounded by grass and flowers. The walk way is leading to a colossal mountain that appears to touch the heavens. Its top can’t be seen for it is covered by a wide cloud disk that appears to hover over it spirally. I approach the mountain that appears miles away but time is not a factor for you could spend hours doing nothing but time won’t pass until you are tired. The mountain is closer as I look to the sides I find animals of many types and species co existing in peace without a sign of fear or hatred in their hearts. Not far from the mountain its stair in sight you stand in a marble slab at the beginning of the stair way with detailed carvings of a man and god reaching towards each other. For five minutes not more not less you pause and feel the soul of the mountain overseeing you with its immense force. You are judged for what you are and nothing else. I proceed to the stairway and it goes around the mountain more times than can be counted a bit closer to the top you find the stone of the mountain covered with yet more carving of pictures of heroes, monsters, gods and structures. The steps you climb start to fade as you reach the great disk turning into mist witch I proceed to go towards. Stepping on the cloud itself I am not scared of falling but exited to get to the other side. With my sight blinded and no sense of direction I do nothing but fallow my instincts and move on forward. The cloud fading I can see the end of the stair way, in its glory and majesty. I take my first step in it to see a great monument to the heavens, a statue of a man and a woman dressed in armor stretching there hands to reach the sky. Beside it a great building witch the mind, body and soul tell is full of wonders. I sprint towards it but I am not able. The marble floor separates from my feet and I start to float away in to the disk again. I try to reach the floor again but I am simply thrown over the edge and as I fall I pray not for myself but for others as I am 5 feet from hitting the ground all turns dark and I find myself rising from sleep once more.

ASINGMENT #7 REPORT CARDS

We have researched many topics about life and our minds. In this blog I will talk about the things that I have learned better my judgment abou this school and its true reality. Is this school meeting all of our needs? Is it being fair to all of the students? And is what the students think about this school true? Well like always I will always try to answer all of these questions by what I know to be true. To the AHA school this is for you and your administration so you may see what we think about this school and what we feel should be changed.

Honestly I do not think that this school is meeting all of our needs. For example there is a weight lifting class that is only available for those who play sports and there are a lot of people that I know including myself that would really enjoy taking it but we are restricted from it and it is not fair to me and those who would enjoy the exercise (which may I remind is very important) and it is being denied, so if we turn out obese you know to blame the school for it

It is not meeting our mental needs. When I come to school I feel like I am in a prison, that I am not safe and that I am not allowed any kind of freedom. If we have to be in a jail we should at least be allowed more time for lunch. I run to the lunch line from the E-building to find myself waiting for a very long time in line to eat which is mandatory. Later I have 10 minutes at most to relax which I can’t even do with all the fun areas of the school restricted. I mean what s the point of having a huge school if can’t even be on the upstairs couches (why do you put them there if no one can use them when we can) or run through the track.

This school does not meet our emotional needs either because the teachers expect an incredible amount of discipline from us and expect us to do a lot of work, which would be fine if we had a study hall but we don’t, and all the work piles up and we have to use our home time to get all the stuff done, as if we did not have problems at home as it is.

So in conclusion I am honestly not one to complain but this seemed like a great idea to let it all out. The school expects too much and offers very little to be accomplished by a regular person. I know plenty of people that are tired of all this and are planning on leaving, I might actually join them unless something is done to keep everyone that attends this school happy and safe or else you might find a very high dropout rate in this school.

ASIGNMENT #6 TEEN RELATIONSHIPS

One of the things that make this world full of joy is the never ending concept of love. In teens especially there have been studies that show how a teen really sees his or her relationship. What is it that makes it so alluring? How is it a problem among teens? What results will it have? People everywhere are always talking about their relationships with someone or how they can’t seem to get one. Why are people always talking about it? And is it really that big of a deal? Well I am definitely not an expert on the subject but I have done my research on it and will attempt to explain how it works and why it even exists. People have asked themselves what is love? No one so far has been able to answer this question with an answer that satisfies everyone that listens but it is fairly simple to be explained by teens or their version. Teens tend to have more troubles with relationships and seem to talk about it all the time. it influences their judgment and makes them think in a different way than a regular adult. What changes the way teens see their relationships?

Well to put it down scientifically teens feeling of love in their relationships is simply hormonal. Them turning sexually active and pairing off with a mate is actually a very normal part of nature that tells a being when to reproduce. The rest of the feeling of love is purely coincidental with the actions that are chosen by both of the mates. It may sound really bad when you want to be so black and white about it but that is basically the way it works. In our society it is something very important that everyone has to have, although it is not absolutely necessary for an individual’s to sustain his life and in some ways will not improve their life quality. One of the only things that teen relationships actually help is a person’s mental and emotional condition. By learning the way the mind works and helping them develop sharper social skills that might help them make their future relationship work better that it did before. This is why people usually get married later in their life because they have best experience at this point and they know what to expect. It is a proven fact that girls are way more emotional than boys. This is known because when a girl is in a relationship she sees the relationship as something more serious than it really is or than the boy of the relationship. If you ask the guy how long he thinks his relationship will last you will hear, “I don’t know, like 3 months”. When in a girl’s case she would say,”forever”.

When I was little I never really learned a lot about girls and relationships. I guess mainly because I never took that much interest in learning about girls. They seemed like really weird aliens of another species that lived on earth, io know it is strange but come on I was like what 7 or 8. But eventually I started to learn things by seeing others like my friends and my family. They taught me that I should always think about the other’s needs before your owns, also that I should always be as nice as I can when I am near a girl. Well back then these things seemed like a formality and something that was expected of you so I followed these strange rules blindly. Never did I question, eve to this day it is as natural to me as breathing. Some girls tell me I am too nice and I always tell them that it is just the way I was razed.

I have experienced this development when I went out with a girl in 9^th grade. Although a lot of people had bad thoughts about her I always thought she was cool. In the end it did not work out because I was too shy around her and she didn’t think I was serious enogh for her so she eventually broke up with me. I felt devastated and sad but as the year went on I reflected on what I did wrong and I knew that I was too shy around girls. So the next time I went out ith some one later that year I tried my best to keep her happy but she was distant towards me and I thought that I must’ve been too shy towards her too so in paranoia I tried to be more enthusiastic about our physical contact. Thinking I had been doing alright with her and making her happy I later discovered from talking in the hallway that she was planning to break up with me at lunch. So I tried to evade her wherever I went. I did not think that I could take another break up so early. But eventually I gave up and faced her and she did as I expected. Later I could not find what I did wrong and eventually I realized that I was being too pushy and she didn’t feel comfortable. I felt like a total idiot for thinking I did right, but I had to know for sure. I went to her later to ask why she broke up with me and yet again my thoughts were right. Eventually I just gave up trying and accepted that I needed to work on my social skills first before I went out with anyone. This experience did help me understand how to act around of people and what I can do to better myself.

So in conclusion relationships are a part of life we could live with out but we prefer not to. The relationship is different on each of the member’s points of view. It can be a painful experience but enjoyable non-the less. And we can always learn from our mistakes in our past relationships to help us with future ones.

ASIGNMENT #5 GANGS ON THE STREET

Gangs have been a part of history since the beginning of mankind. In different ways than now but from a specific point of view every nation is its own gang. Why they are maid is an enigma that has too many factors to count. They have been a very unpleasant problem that seems to be unstoppable and un containable. This blog is to enlighten the reader’s thoughts on this topic. From poverty to boredom the things that bring generations of teens as well as adults in to this way of crime are very hard to stop in time. How many gangs are there? Why did they choose to join? When did they begin? And will they ever end? Or will they be a part of life for as long as people exist? These questions are very serious topics. As such they should be completely understood so that it may better the judgment of whoever is the one that decides is time to change the world for the better. Clearly not every one thing they can make a difference but in reality if all were to come together and find the answers to these question it is not impossible to pull the plug on what we see as crime and they see as their life.

Beginning with one of the reasons people start gangs the basic group of friends may not have bad intentions but they might realize that there is strength in number. So in search of not being a target of people’s discrimination they sometimes seek others to join their “group”. The next step to the formation of a gang would be the beginning of their actual activities that forever label them as a gang such as crime. For some crime is viewed as a police officer chasing a robber who wears striped clothes from jail when in reality it’s a very dangerous activity that can involve mugging, drug dealing and even murder.  Some may realize this too late when they are already involved too deeply to turn back. No one can say exactly what kind of activity gangs perform but they can be as harmless as stealing a candy bar from the neighborhood store to something homicidal like killing people for money or burning down a building. So in definition gangs are a group of people who come together and commit criminal activities to gain money, get a couple of kicks out of it, or for whatever other reason they choose but the fact still remains that they can only blame themselves for what they do and no one else.

Another main reason that leads people to joining a gang is the never ending problem of poverty. People find themselves not gaining enough income from their job and decide that it would be easier to turn to crime. Since crime can make a lot of money people are tempted to commit it for financial purposes. So this problem could probably be fixed by adding those who need help with money. Yet another thing that makes it so easy to be dragged into a gang is the peer pressure that is placed on the person. It could be from friend or total strangers but there are still any people who recruit others and continue to bring the idea forward. I some lived in a gang dominated area it is more likely that their friends join. Some teens don’t fully understand the true danger of gangs so only seeing the possibility of losing their friends they join a well. Perhaps the strangest thing that leads teenagers to join is the simple emotion of boredom. It is a very understandable feeling that could make a person do anything to fill time with some activity. These teens are being entertained by causing mischief. An extremely simple solution to this problem would be to open up sports and cubs that will be fun and keep kids out of trouble by having something to do for the time. The last one is despair. This may cause teens to think bad thoughts about themselves if their families were unfortunate when it came to jobs they may feel like they will have the same luck, so they see a way out. Looking for alternatives is extremely difficult for some people who don’t know what they are doing, and they will look for the first opportunity to do better for themselves and their families (which is perfectly understandable). With a crime money comes in tons so without thinking of the cost they find it a good idea to join a gang.

Let me tell you a story about something that did happen. Once in the 9^th grade I met really cool kid named Alex and we got along pretty well but his family was poor an eventually he told me that he sold drugs to help out his family. Now a regular person would have told on him or tried to talk him out of it but I am not like that I still thought he was cool so I still hung out with him. One day a police officer found him selling at the park near where I live and he got taken to court. After that I never heard from him again. I think now back on that and maybe I could have helped him because he was not a bad person he just needed the money and he couldn’t really get a job at that age. But I will never think less of him because he was my friend.

So in conclusion gangs are a big part of society that must be changed for the better of society. So the best thing to do would be to not tolerate gangs and when there is a showing of gang activity make sure that there will be a very steep price for the members to pay. A message to all those who are thinking crime as a solution remember there is a reason that bad guys never win in movies or cartoons. Just remember that crime doesn’t pay.

ASIGNMENT #3 BULLYS MUST STOP

There is a really big problem facing the entire world that has had its toll on the lives of the people being oppressed by others that try to harm them. Weather you see it or not since the beginning of time man has noticed the valuable fact that there is safety in numbers and will pair off to make a point in an argument like how to run the village or something like that. There is not too much that can really be done about it if you don't know exactly how to deal with it. This problem is the cause of many less than pleasant events. Some worst than others the outcomes of bulling varies from depression to suicide. Who is the one that is hurt by this the most? Why do people feel the need to bully? And what can be done humans do to stop this madness? Well this blog will not give you all of the answers you seek, but I know that it will give you some new found knowledge having something to do with this very important and important subject. This blog is not for someone specific to see but it will concern most parents.

Bullies are almost in every imaginable place on earth, so hiding from them is not the best way to avoid them because they usually tend to find you if they targeted you for whatever reason. In all kinds of shapes and forms bullies have a way of making their victim or victims lose not only confidence but hope. Most of the time a person will make go to incredible lengths to make a point and make everyone else see thing the way he does, why? Maybe for acceptance from the rest of the world, maybe they feel they need to whatever the reason it does not excuse their actions. One of the believed reasons that bully’s un-ethical behavior is that they themselves are feeling bad or are uncomfortable about something, so they use their tormenting as a way to make him or herself feel respected or accepted. Because no one is saying anything to stop them the bully late gains a feeling of acceptance from the others. This is one of the reasons that bullies are sometimes popular among their "friends" or "peeps". Another simple reason that reason that a bully is popular is intimidation cast by the bully, it’s a feeling that sais, “like me or else”. Think back to your childhood, what was it like? Were there bullies there? Did they bully you or someone else?

                                                             

Of course the bully is the one to hold responsible but there are clearly people that are never fully held responsible for what the bullies do. For example the parents are an extremely big influence on the child's way of thinking and future actions, so by simply illustrating harsh behavior towards a specific group of people the child will learn harmful thinking about the group and proceed to duplicate the same behavior. Another group of people who are not recognized for this are the bullies "friends". They give a bully a sense of security that makes him or her even more unaffected by others. By hanging out with him the bully hears nothing but, “hey we accept you for who you are and we love the way you handle your problems”. Yet another factor that changes a person’s life for the worst may be a bad experience that made them see the world differently for example if a child witnesses a robbery committed by blacks then it is very possible that he will grow to hate that specific group and oppress it when he gets an opportunity.

The friends sometimes simply hang out with the character for "protection" or other reasons, unaware that their actions of staying silent are actually supporting the bully and his way of thinking. These people are just as responsible as the bully himself for they illustrate no signs of disapproval of the actions that they clearly see as wrong. This is a simple outcome of being scared themselves of the bully and searching for his good side so that they may be safe from him. For this reason the kids that witnessed this tormenting being preformed rarely ever inform the proper authorities, mainly out of their fear that the bully will find out of their “snitching” and will proceed to make this person it’s new target of torment until he is dealt with or he gets bored of him. Lastly the last thing that will be said of the reasons is that the biggest influence that effects these people, the ones that are to blame is society itself. The ones who do nothing to really stop it, they are the biggest reason for bullies to exist. If they can’t stand up for themselves then the next generation will have to. Literally the people of our world are cowards that will cause the rest of us a lot of pain and suffering.

So in conclusion there are many factors that affect a bully situation like parent, friends, and the victim. A bully will mainly target those who would probably not fight back. You will never see a bully go after a football player because it is easy to see that he will fight back. So I believe that as equals no one should have to suffer these kinds of thing because it's simply not right or convenient for anyone and in no benefits society. The world is full of cowards, there are many things to do to stop it but it is chosen not to. Everything in this world has more than one reasons for its existence and it should be simple. There are plenty of problems in the world that are filling this world with madness and despair, our world is falling apart as it is and people have plenty of pain to deal with we don't need any more problems when we are being overwhelmed by others.
