Qualities of a Good Friend

Qualities of a Good Friend

Having a good friend that is always there for you is a very important requirement in life, especially if that friend has good qualities and traits. I think a friend like that would be loyal and always there for you in your time of need. They would also be helpful whenever you're in trouble and are seeking help. In addition, they would be motivating. Always encouraging of you to do the right thing or to work hard to succeed in life. Also, they would be kind to not only me, but to everyone else around them.

To identify if you have a true friend or not ask yourself if you talk to them openly ,and if you're important to them that they actually take the time and listen to you and advise you on what to do best.
Evaluate how they communicate with you, see if they truly listen to you, decide if your friend is honest, access their actions, decide if you both have the same effort in your friendship, decide if they make you feel better about yourself.There are many other steps or things to look for in your friendship that will help you decide if he/she is true to you and your friendship.

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method?

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method? Socrates was a philosopher known as "the father of philosophy". He was known to teach, yet he only taught 3 students because it was in the old ages. Socrates didn't write anything down and all the information we know now are from the students he taught before. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher, of the Western ethical tradition of thought.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

The Danger of a Single Story This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities. Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

Grit - spoken by Angela Lee Duckworth

Grit Angela Lee talks about something I've always believed in. That is that the students who are doing better in school than others, doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter. I've always believed in that because the students who do better in school are the ones that are only able to memorize, rather than actually understand. They are not trying to better themselves with knowledge that they can seek by themselves. They take the knowledge from their teachers and just apply it on tests. Not that I wasn't one of these students, I very much were. I sued to study just for the sake of passing, nit worrying about if I'll remember the things I've learned after applying it on the tests and quizzes. However, as I've grown and realized that I was passing school in a very wrong way, I changed that habit. A very big part of changing that habit was changing school systems. Everytime I talked with anyone about school systems, th...
