( long story, I understand if you don't read it ) ✈️➰✌️ - REFLEJOS / REFLECTIONS. - It is Exactly what I think most of us are, as I explained a good friend of mine the other day. - Since the day we were born, our minds were empty as an blank piece of paper, our relatives,teachers,religious mentors,books, Hollywood,personal experiences, friends, etc. etc. And even our parents in the purest of their intentions left written a story , yes they all left a note with all their beliefs and judgements about
Often people wish for world peace, but how often does this wish get granted? Who is willing to answer such a wish? Today the U.N. and political leaders are finding way to secure this wish so that someday we will live in a world that doesn't have war and violence. Others though are studying a much more abstract way of looking at the world that if done by every individual, would create a paradigm shift in the interpretation of the world, the universe, and peace. I believe in taking a realistic approach
like “projects” and “assignments” with different purposes. While we may gain money, most Americans hate their jobs, and to this extent lead miserable lives, gaining escape through sexuality and drugs, much in the same way described by Krishnamurti (Krishnamurti 115-117). It is this sort of drudgery that is my nightmare. Waking up every day to relive the same day, the same moments, the same sensation, and then retire to repeat the process. To live this... ... middle of paper ... ...f music
Esteemed philosopher and writer Jiddu Krishnamurti is quoted saying “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning”. It is my educational philosophy that learning is innate and instinctual. I believe that learning should focus on the whole student and making them a well-rounded individual. I believe in the educational philosophies of existentialism
“Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay”. This powerful quote by philosophical writer, Jiddu Krishnamurti, cultivates what the powerful truth which lies in the speculative fiction short story, “The Lottery”. Shirley Jackson published “The Lottery” in 1948. The time period plays an essential role in understanding the implication of this story. The 1940s is in the prime of societies fight to break immoral traditions. Shirley Jackson herself found it difficult to
Books “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti Not only are books just fun to read, but they are educationally and fundamentally good for someone. They are a process of learning throughout our lives. Sure they’re daunting and adventurous, but books are going to benefit someone so much throughout his or her childhood
Fear is an emotion that most everyone is familiar with. The psychological effects of fear are readily apparent but many people are unaware of the physical effects. Some of these are major; others are so minor they go unnoticed. The philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti who lived during the 20th century said “What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to
Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti once said, "'Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased.'" This is not true because the 'competitive spirit' drives someone to work harder and helps them focus on one idea. Teens and kids alike drive for adrenaline rushes
Albert Einstein once said “Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal”. One of the main problems considering the modern and postmodern periods is the exponential growth in technology thus blinding our appreciation of nature. Modern author Aldous Huxley’s ironic scientific novel Brave New World advises that technological advances can diminish human identity as is evident in the progressive postmodern world. While many will argue when the Modern period had begun,
Bruce Lee and his contribution Bruce Lee was one of the most recognizable names in the world. Many people know Lee as an action movie star, who performed amazing Chinese Kung Fu in the movie. Others recognize Lee for his great foresight and innovative contributions to the martial arts. Although Bruce Lee died almost forty years ago, he is still one of the most popular film stars in the world. The reason is not only that he made tremendous contribution to modern martial arts and to the development
Parsing out the influences of cultural and structural factors leading to differential behaviors among the poor and nonpoor is a difficult challenge for sociologists concerned with stratification and inequality. This is largely due to the fact that they appear to be so heavily intertwined. Structural and cultural factors reinforce each other in complex ways. Pervasive cultural elements such as ideologies and values are used to frame and interpret existing socio-economic structures and their effects
The Meaning Behind Jackson Pollock’s Paintings Paul Jackson Pollock sprung into the world of art in 1936 once he discovered the abstract style of Drip Painting - a technique executed by dripping paints with various viscosities onto a horizontal canvas therefore creating a random, splatter-like pattern. Through this unique style of art, Pollock became popular within a short period of time due to a spread about him and his art in Life magazine featured on August 8th, 1949. Though many people were
The sins of our fathers Todd Marvin grew up on the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach, California. His father, Marv Marinovich, an openly abusive parent, had been a lineman and a captain for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans during the 1962 national championship season, and played in the 1963 Rose Bowl. After harming his own National Football League lineman career by overtraining and focusing too much on weight and bulk, Marv later opened his own athletic research center and applied
