Spanish is my favorite language to learn because I feel so sassy when I speak it. And the sass is part of my motivation to continue to learn the language and immerse myself in the culture.

Arabic. I love how it sounds and how it is written. I also love the food and culture. I would cry with tears of joy if I woke up speaking the language.

I honestly do not know. I would hope so because it would answer a lot of questions. But I feel like religion is a comfort mechanism in some sort. It gives a comfort in trying times. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And I have accepted the fact that God may just be some figment of...

I am not entirely sure what my purpose is, but I feel like it has something to do with what goes against the grain. My black studies teacher told me that whatever puts a fire in you or does not sit will with you is something that you should do. The things that really do not sit well with me are...

Philosophy seems to consist of unanswered questions that, once answered, become more concrete things like biology or astronomy. Almost every subject was a part of philosophy because it was a question that humans would ponder and examine. Once an answer was found, it would branch off as a...

Immanuel Kant is pretty cool. I learned about him briefly in my philosophy class. And while I do not like how "absolute" the categorical imperative seems to be, I do respect his ethical theory nonetheless.

I still prefer actual books. While there may be no significant difference, I think I like actual books more because I did not grow up with a tablet. Perhaps I would like online books more if I was more accustomed to them.

From what I understand about art, it involves self expression. And since fashion stems from self expression, I would say that it is a form of art. Putting a definition on art is very difficult and maybe I'll go so far as to say purposeless? Anything can be art. Why label it? It doesn't seem to...

Yes, as long as the professor has a predetermined list of books for the students to choose from. Some of my favorite books have been assigned or found by chance. I appreciate a passionate English teacher or professor to offer me a book suggestion. I never finish the book disappointed.

I rely on technology a normal amount. It helps in making things more efficient, for example instead of writing out flashcards, I just use Quizlet. I type most of my notes because I type faster than I write and I can organize them easier. Technology makes it easier for me to focus on studying and...

Exactly! He was practical. I love practical people. Do not give your students a bunch of pointless worksheets. Teach them! They are capable of so much more.

Geography in my school was nonexistent. It's sad. I know all the states in my own country, but I can only point out "famous" areas in other countries. But at this point since I am a freshman in college, maybe I should take my own initiative to learn. I wish things were not half done in schools...

World Religions classes should have a greater presence in schools to make kids more cultured. It seems as though people may be turned off by religious studies because it seems to only entail Christianity, as if that is the only religion ever. I definitely do not agree nor like that that type of...

Radix24, could you give an example of this technique? I am a college student majoring in Computer Information Systems, and finals are in about two weeks so I need all the help I can get. I personally try to meditate at least twice a day, but it usually comes out as 3 times a week. I am working...

I personally feel like the best time for PE classes is the morning. It gets your blood pumping and your brain ready for some cognitive function. But then again considering that most high school and middle school students are expected to sit down everyday with no real activity, it would be nice...
