respected university without having to move too far away from my family. My PLU experience: My PLU experience has been wonderful. Throughout my time at PLU I have gained vast amounts of knowledge and have had invaluable experiences. Such knowledge and experiences primarily regarded nursing and healthcare, however I have been fortunate enough to take other various classes at PLU as well. Although such classes were not in my field of interest, they none the less proved to be interesting, well-designed

Chinese Medicine. Being immersed in different cultures enabled me to question, reflect upon and draw conclusions about myself, my perspectives, the ways in which the world impacts me and my impact on the world. The liberal arts educational foundation I have gained from PLU has fostered growth in my holistic view of nursing, people, environment and health. My education along with my PLU involvements have provided me with the ability to express myself in a clear and professional manner both verbally and

Melodramatic, selfish, pouty Mary Musgrove is the only Persuasion (2022) character who says anything meaningful about Regency womanhood that is congruous with gender expectations today. Her lines in Carrie Cracknell’s adaptation are like Reductress captions, with just a little less of the same satirical punch.…

The film is aware (though perhaps imperfectly so) of gender discrimination in the Regency and its traces in the modern day. But is it aware of racial discrimination? Cracknell’s interview in the LA Times is telling: [Austen’s] time wasn’t about racial issues. Because, of course, there weren’t other races that were involved in the world that she was dealing with, so the idea of colorblind casting [worked

prepare high school students for college. Horn expects to hear back about the opportunity by May 20. In the future, Horn sees himself becoming a teacher. At the moment, his end goal is to teach English and find a way to incorporate literature and film in the classroom. While his time at PLU challenged him, Horn suspects it’s only the beginning.

Originally published in 1991 Tertullian, an African Christian writing in the second century of the Church, is perhaps most famous for his defiant one-liner about the resurrection, “I believe it because it is absurd.” The only trouble is: he never wrote those words, and wouldn’t…
“commitment”. It may be true that unconditional commitment to a given proposition requires not only that one never give it up, but that one never think of doing so. But MacIntyre speaks of decisive adherence being given to God, not to any proposition. The object of faith, in any theistic religion, is not a belief or attitude, but God; it is belief in God, and not (at least primarily) belief that there is a God, which ought to be non-tentative. And we cannot assume that such commitment is only appropriate

busiest months, June, but on average I work 40 hours a week. I report primarily to The Rail/Topman’s manager, Dasha Kuznetsova. What sorts of tasks and projects do you work on at Nordstrom?

perhaps, I will get a degree in international relations…or another subject all together! While working on my capstone (which focuses on modern Korean history) I have only been more drawn to history and more drawn to Korea in particular.
