Blog Assignment #7B: Getting Stuff Done on Time

I found this to be a very interesting question. especially since anyone that has gone to school has fallen victim to procrastination. I think that it is some sort of mindset, the majority of the time, the homework that students do not finish are the homework items that take more than ten minutes. On a personal level, I know that many students do not finish their homework because of:  they think that they will be able to finish it very quickly, they dont understand, the homework is a project, they are doing "other thing",  or they forgot. The most prominent reason that they were “doing other things” , tis can stretch into a variety of activities, some of them that you don’t want to know, and others that are surprisingly worth listening to. 

Blog Assignment #6B: The Ship of Theseus

I found this question difficult to answer. But I have decide that ultimately it remains to be more or less Theseus’s ship. Throughout the years of its existence it has remained holding the same presence that it did before: that it is Theseus’s ship. The later generations that replaced parts of the ship did so because the ship held some sort of sentimental value, in their minds when they were repairing the ship they never thought that one day all of the ship’s original pieces would be replaced.  And even after the final original piece of the ship was taken of those descendants recognized that was once Theseus’s ship.  I had gotten a 3,00 year old ship , so I had to think that maybe one day the majority would have to be replaced, since it was already rotting. However if you think about it from the a different point of view: material wise, then it is not Theseus’ ship anymore. By the time that Jon notices that all the original wood has been replaced, in this sense the ship is no longer Theseus’s ship. The only way that the ship is Theseus’s ship is by considering it’s sentimental value over the materialistic aspect.
