How have you taken something that you have learned in the classroom and integrated it into your nonacademic life?

 Everything I have learned in the classroom I have integrated into my nonacademic life. I daily use rhetoric, as well as most of our vocabulary words to improve my was of speaking. I do not use the vocabulary words to seem pedantic, but to improve my way of expressing myself and articulating myself well. English is the subject we mostly use out of all school subjects, because it is the way we speak and express what we think. I apply it by using it when verbalizing my thoughts.

How does competition function in our society?

 Competition in our society takes an extensive part of our lives, we compete against each other every day without even realizing it. If someone you know gets a raise or is given a higher level position at work you will always strive to be superior. I believe that sometimes competition is healthy, but if you exceed the limit  it becomes unhealthy and unsettles your mind. Competition is only healthy when you do it for yourself and not to surpass other people around us. Every day we strive to exceed others expectations or to be more distinguished than those who surround us. Therefore, competition takes a great part of our daily lives and inflicts on our personalities.

Describing a color to a blind person

 What I would do to describe the color red to a blind person is relate it to food, since blind people are familiar with all sorts of food or other thing people associate with daily.
 The color red is known to be an intense, hot, powerful, as well as an aggressive color. It is found in fire as well as flowers, birds, and many other living things. Blood, Apples, cherries, roses and stop signs are also the color red. Red is a color that draws your attention and that can cause many different ways on how you perceive it.
