8) How do you think others would describe you?
Some adjectives that my friends would use to describe me are: organized, understanding, creative, responsible, calm, positive, and amiable. One of the first things others find striking about me is how neat and organized I always am. My organization in life fuels my responsible and perfectionist personality. I am also known to be a seriously joyful and joyfully serious person. Moreover, others think that I am a good listener; people often tend to share their problems and questions with me.
9) What extra-curricular commitments have been most important to you? What new activities do you hope to explore at Yale?
My commitment to my high school newspaper as its editor-in-chief and my intensive engagement with the visual arts throughout my high school career have been the most important to me. At Yale, I look forward to writing for the Yale Daily News and several other (possibly literary) publications. I am also excited to get involved with the theatre scene at Yale. Alongside watching a myriad of performances, I will also strive to be an assistant director for a show during my freshman year.
10) What do you like to do for fun?
To be honest, reading books means a lot of fun to me. I have always rejoiced in immersing myself in the realm of imaginative literature. I am also an avid listener of indie and alternative rock music and a devoted moviegoer. Usually once in every two weeks I watch a theatrical production with my friends, which is usually preceded by a dinner with them. Spending time with friends at concerts, museums, and similar cultural events and going to new restaurants and cafes with them help me relax.
11) What was your favorite class in high school? Why?
It was a sen...

...t how I will be able to adapt to this new setting. I wish to be a part of a close-knit community of friends who will welcome me and enable me to ease my homesickness. I am also concerned about how to set a balance between my extracurricular involvements and the heavy demand of the Directed Studies program.
17) Is there anything else you would like your advisers to know about you?
Since this is a housing form, I believe I should note that as much as I rejoice in socializing with people and spending time with friends, I also immensely value my daily breaks of occasional solitude, when I engage in an informal introspective meditation. Such “me times” enable me to reduce stress and restore energy. In order to function as a better student and a better friend to others, I wish to find the opportunity to occasionally retreat to my personal realm during my time at Yale.
Plato’s notion of the Forms vs. the physical realm is quite and interesting topic. I believe something very similar to what Plato thinks about the Forms and our physical reality. Plato says that there is nothing that is perfect in this reality that we live in. And the Forms are the perfect ideals or thoughts that we are striving to achieve throughout our lives. Plato says it is impossible to reach the Forms in our current reality and that it is only possible to achieve perfect knowledge and truth
theory of Forms. Aristotle, along with others, cross-examines Plato's proposals. Yet, I happen to see the potential of his point of view and would like to take a deeper look into his theory. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the theory of Plato's Forms from his perspective and that of several others, including Aristotle. Topics The topics in which I will mainly focus on will be Forms as universals, Forms as separate entities (substances), Universe as two realities, and Forms as final
Reciprocity In All Its Forms Reciprocity is symbolic of creating, maintaining, or strengthening social relationships as well as satisfying the material needs and wants of someone in need. It refers to the exchange of objects without the use of money or other media of exchange. It can take the form of sharing, hospitality, gifts, or bartering. Anthropologists identify three forms of reciprocity. One form is generalized reciprocity, which is the giving of goods without expectation of a return
Throughout history art has presented itself in many different forms. Two forms of art are poetry and paintings. William C. Carlos’ poem “The Dance” paints a picture while Pieter Brueghel’s painting “Peasants’ Dance” tell a story. The odd thing is that both the poem and the painting have many similarities as well as many notable differences. Tone, image, and imagination show the many similarities and differences between William C. Williams’ poem “The Dance” and Pieter Brueghel’s painting “Peasants’
Electronic Forms of Expression The confusion of new forms of media can be overwhelming. For those of us who grew up with the Internet, it may not be all that difficult to grasp its concepts and to tackle its nuances; but for those who grew up with print, the transition between the two could be exhausting. The concepts in new forms of electronic expression are in their developmental stages—still trying to find a dynamic equilibrium between mimicking print and inventing new ways of performance
Many different forms of government have existed throughout civilization. Theocracy, dictatorships, democracy, and many others have all had periods of time where they reigned as the government of choice. Arguments could be made in favor of each form of government. The key to finding the most viable form of government is to consider this: which form of government provides the most stability for the state? The stability of the state is based upon the foundation of the government. Shaky foundations
of the acceptance the work has enjoyed for centuries. Three forms of irony may be found in the play, Macbeth: Dramatic irony, being the difference between what the audience knows and what a character knows to be true; Verbal Irony, being a difference between what is said and what is meant; and Situational Irony, a difference between what happens and what is expected to happen. I will attempt to show examples of each of these forms of irony and explain their relevance to the characters and the
Plato on the Existence of Negative Forms The question of the origin and nature of evil in the world has preoccupied philosophers throughout history. The ancient philosopher Plato does not directly address this question in his writings, but it can be argued that the logic of his theory of forms demands the existence of forms that are negative in meaning, such as the evil and the bad. When discussing his theory of imitation, Plato alludes to the principle that whenever there are many things
Use of Signs and Symbols as Important Forms of Communication Signs. They're everywhere. Though this statement is in no way enlightening, it is none the less very true. Within our culture, we are so completely surrounded by signs of all types that they become nearly invisible unless they are looked for. Though this likely seems true to you upon some reflection, it is just as likely that you have only considered "signs" in the most basic literal sense, that is, signs such as those that offer
Plato’s Theory of Forms Plato was born, the son of Ariston and Perictione, in about 428 BC. His family, on both sides, was among the most distinguished in Athens. He was born in Athens into a very wealthy family and as a young man was a student of Socrates. Plato is probably one of the best-known philosophers. Plato embarked on a period of extensive travel, returning to Athens some years later. In 387 BCE he established the Academy, a school devoted to philosophical debate and learning
Intake forms, which are forms that generally ask detailed questions about the subject and subject’s history, are essential when a subject is being evaluated. For example, intake forms are required when becoming a new patient at a doctor’s office, when enrolling in a new school, or when applying for services. The information on the completed intake forms provide a starting point for the evaluator; it informs the evaluator of the subject’s history and present day status. Intake forms are pertinent
The Classical Sonata Form From the Classical period and onwards, sonata form became the basis for most instrumental music. Sonata form became established as the clearly defined structure of the first movement of instrumental compositions. This form consists of three sections: exposition, development, and recapitulation. If you have studied anything about story form, you know a lot about Sonata form, because they are identical in their purpose. The exposition (same word is used in music and literature)
of the system. Governments embody the power by regulating the body, movement,attitude and daily behaviour forms of the people. Governments perform such duties : regulating the population, governing the people, controlling and directing them. Governments think that most of the problems result from such features; population, public health, dwelling, lifetime and fertility. Governments have 3 forms. First one is the sovereignty and the sovereignty seperates the area of the government from the social area
The struggle to create the perfect government has been prevalent throughout human history, and has resulted in significant turbulence and bloodshed for mankind. Despite thousands of years of progress, the challenge to find the ideal government was still prevalent during the Enlightenment period. During the 18th century, numerous philosophers developed various new ideas about how the ideal government should perform its duties. Philosophers like John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau, for example, conceived
Justice often masks an occurrence of injustice in many forms and in the crucible by Arthur Miller, the leaders of Salem, believe that the way that they are dealing with people of strange happenings is right and just but is actually wrong and unjust. Justice can be defined as the right and moral decision and general beliefs. Injustice can be defined as unfairness and a lack of justice. Someone who is done by an injustice may have been judged to harshly. In "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller
