Kobe Bryant Character Analysis

The third president of the United States said that “I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led.” In this class, we did just that. Find the truth. In this essay, I will discuss the flaws and the things we did correctly, the grades and the knowledge, and the play and the work. Since this class’s goal was to turn my views of Sports and Culture upside down. I will work from the bottom by discussing the juxtaposition between play and work first. The Chinese have always had a binary work on work and play, as two different things. There are a lot of basketball players I like to watch, but there are only a few that I respect. Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba. Over Jordan or LeBron, he

Sticking with a team for 20 years, when no NBA player did before, show the compatibility of his work and play. His job is scoring buckets. His passion is scoring buckets. His unification of work and play shows his respect for who he is as a player. I started talking about the Chinese and then quickly and abruptly switched to talking to an American basketball player. We see the Chinese culture move to more of a culture that unifies work and play. Whether “Ball is life” or Education is life, we learn from the progression of Chinese society and Kobe Bryant’s work ethic that play and work are the different sides of the same Yi Yuan coin. Similar to both my examples, my class melted some of the boundaries between work and play that only a few classes before could. I found the fact that we were driven by our own work ethic to be very helpful. In my senior year of high school, I took a class about Matlab, a matrix-based programming language. No matter how much he lectured, we would not be able to learn how to be able to code, so he would just give us something to code, with a hint or two. Similar to this physics class, I liked the

I do want to respect every teacher and they choose they make, but why can a student not turn in an assignment for half credit when it is less than a day late. Personally, the extra credit assignments were justified as my efforts were included on the grades that I would receive. Making everyone’s grades on tests 1 and 2 was rash and unnecessary, but I do not want to focus my concerns on everyone else. If my score was a hundred on the first two tests, the logic follows that I feel my efforts were wasted. The professor does have the say, meaning, he may choose as he wishes. In one of my other classes, SOC 101, I emailed the professors about curving and if he would give me a 90 is I got an 89.7 and he responded a no. Why is it that people would do not show up to class and cheat on homework and tests get an A, but I showed up to every class and did the homework and study for the test and took the tests, just to get a B? I could have to go to any class, asked someone to click in for and asked the person to do my homework for me. By not doing anything, I could get a better grade. Sometimes, the path of least resistance seems like the right one. This class was based on participation on paper and tests on paper, making the discrepancy between the class less likely. I did learn a lot in this class about seeing what others can but do not think
