Well, I was a philosophy major in college, so I guess I'm obligated to help.\n\nOur professors always told us that we don't get the answers to any questions as an undergraduate.  We just get to learn a few definitions and maybe formulate a question or two.  You need to be a graduate student to work on the answers.  (Not in Yahoo!)\n\nSo work on one of those slippery definitions, like "moral," or "justice."  You start by gathering a few dictionary definitions, then work with them to see if you can formulate a definition that will do what you want it to do when you use it in a sentence.  Or a question, if possible.  Like we had one course that the title of the course was "Why be moral?"  Obviously, before you can answer a question like that, you need a good definition of moral.  Or more simply, you need to be able to distinguish it from other near-cognates, like "Why be ethical?" or "Why be honorable?" or even "Why be legal?"\n\nGood luck.  If you need more help, you can post a question for me on my Yahoo 360 page, which is also auntb93.

I've attached some websites that give farewell speeches that were actually given, or part of them.  They should give you some ideas.  They include links to speeches given by some very famous people and some by high school students.  I especialy like Oprah Winfrey's speech!!\n\nGood luck with it!

State what your original views were, what they are now, and why they did not change.  I assume the views of different philosophers were discussed in your class. Explain why they either confirmed your beliefs or why you didn't agree with them.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with continuing to believe what you do even after you heard other points of view.  Don't let your professor intimidate you in your beliefs.\n\nMaybe your belief is wrong but it is how you see things at this point in your life.  Don't apologize for it.\n\nWhat do you believe? Do you believe God exist and the professor is wanting you to believe otherwise? Or is it vice versa? Either way, stand your ground and don't let him/her intimidate you.  I kind of sense you feel like you are required to change your position after hearing other points of view.  Teachers who don't agree with a student sometimes wants a student to see things their way because they think they are right and the student is wrong.\n\nIf you want help in writing your paper, e-mail me.  Maybe I can help you.

Is this your own assignment?  What I would do first is see if there is any certain topic you have to find for class.  Let's use English as our subject.  So, find a book that you like and find a long paragraph!  The main idea is the main point that the author is trying to get across.  This is usually in the first or the last sentence.  Then the supporting details are the ones that give more meaning to the main idea.  \n\nAn exmaple:  A main idea would be, "Tom Thumb is a small man."  and your supporting details would be, "He is so small that he is only the size of someone's thumb.  He got lost in my pocket once!  A cat mistook him for a mouse!"\n\nAfter you read the supporting details, you understand exactly how small Tom is.  The next paragraph might have the main idea about how Tom is funny.  The next might be about how Tom eats a lot of food.\n\nThe other post is a good way of showing how when you write an essay or a book that all the main ideas get put together to form one big idea.  All of my examples put together could be an essay with the main idea, or subject, about, "The Man Called Tom Thumb."\n\nHope this illustrates your questtion!  Good luck with main ideas... you are on your way to being a great writer!

Why? \nAre you writing your resume for a teaching job? LOL...\n\nWell, teaching philosophy is about your views and beliefs on teaching. \n1.Knowledge is the most precious thing you gain in this world apart from the materialitic possessions. \nSo, what would you do with the knowelege? \nHow did you first earned the knowledge?\n\n2. You would like to share the knowledge with someone, don't you?\n3. How will you share, you have to teach?. to whom and how?.\n4. Also think about improving the knowedge you obtained from your mentor or teacher.\n\n4. you would like to be a role model to the future young generation, you must be interested in teaching and also you should have certain basic principles that you will adhere while taking on the journey of teaching. \n\nAll these constitutes the principles or philosophy of teaching.\n\nI might not have said all, but a few to start with......

Read about philosophy, psychology, and other interesting topics.  Then you can talk to her about them and sound interesting to her.

Talk about something your are interested in.  Or something you could find out about and feel passionate about e.g. Why donating bone marrow is a good idea (Put Antony Nolan into google and you will find something.); Christians and Conservation (arocha.org); a place I would like to visit (just put in Cambridge or Kenya etc into Google and you will get lots of info.)

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html
