Responsiblity and Ambiguity

     After coming home from a restaurant, person A places their leftovers in the fridge for later. Coming back the next afternoon, person A finds that their food is missing. Person A investigates with the other members of the household and finds out that person B ate person A’s food. Whose fault is it? The leftovers were unlabeled and left out in the open, but yet the food was not for person B to eat. In this case, person A is at fault for not labeling their food. If the food had been labeled, then person B would have been at fault. To be able to determine who has responsibility in a situation that is unsure, it depends on the situation. Every situation is different and cannot be treated equally. If something bad happens and I am trying to figure out if I am to take responsibility or not, I weigh the reasons against me and for me, then I try to calmly decide.

All My Hard Work

          Since my only hobby is art, it is not surprising that the most amount of effort I have ever put into anything was into a drawing. One day I decided I would create some small drawings for practice, and I ended up working on that particular drawing for days. It was simply a picture of a freckled girl facing the observer, but I was so proud of that simple picture that I even entered it into a contest. The most difficulty I had creating that drawing was drawing the nose and mouth. Shading those two parts of the face proved to be a challenge for me. I very much believe that all the effort and time I spent on that drawing was well spent, as it turned out to be, in my opinion, the greatest thing I had ever created. Since I finished that drawing, I have been working to improve my skills and I have been steadily improving. 

Exploration

To explore the unknown, people have traveled to new parts of the world. Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered an entire continent previously nonexistent to the people of the world at that time. Technological advances help mankind explore the unknown as well. As the submarine was invented and developed, humans could dive farther into the depths of the ocean to discover new life living at the bottom of the ocean as well as new territory like trenches.

            Individuals have devoted themselves to a life of exploration and discovery because they want to contribute to mankind and further mankind’s knowledge. These explorers want to make their mark in history so that they will not be forgotten. A goal to reach gives them a purpose in life so that they feel they have meaning.

            With such devotion to discovery and exploration, these people put their relationships on the line. Even their health may suffer from their studies just as Marie Curie did from her studies.
