    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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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

    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. In the more distant and vaguer future I think I would like to work on the international level in some way. but as of right now, I am just gong with the flow and seeing where life takes me.
