Thank You!!!!

a) could be fun, since I worked on a farm for my first job and ate the most delicious fruit I can ever remember having...but it can be a slow day at times....however, years from now you willl have nice memories of being outdoors during the summer day,instead of sitting at a desk in artifical light.

b) this is kinda nice if you like your grandmother because you will have the chance to see her on a regular basis and hang out with her, and that will also help you have nice memories in the future. And your summer days can be lazy then, and you can read books and swim instead of working

c) Nah, MacD's will make you smell bad. and be bored. but you will have kids your age around.

d) babysit, pet sit, plant and garden tend for those people going out of town. on vacation...good if you have reliable references.

A). cuz i'd steal some berries.
one for you...5 for me ^_______^

mc donalds
cause you get free food and it'll keep u busy

I would work at McDonald's, because my dad worked there in his early years, and he got discounts.

A :)

mcdonalds, because you might see people you know. or work at a ice cream store.

McDonalds
[sneaking fries lol]

d) Work at a movie theatre! Why? Well u can see a lot of your friends ~maybe even a cute guy or two~ and you can rip tickets! That would be AWESOME!

Uh "A"... Hey being outside picking berries wouldn't be so bad.

Its hard work but at least you don't have to deal with people or go home smelling like burgers... Or have to pull weeds...

c) because it is the easiest job

14 yer old?? are you mentioning yourself?? if so please go to your grandma's...if not go pick berries...it help you understand the value of money

c

i would do.....McDonalds , because then u can earn a little $$
but u could also babysit over the school year or summer, or both, or u can walk dogs anyday that is good for u!

Berry picking, outdoors with fresh air and sunshine. Sounds good to me.

b) I think I would have liked doing the yard work at my grandmother's house because I liked working outside and it would have made me feel good to have helped her.
If you want more hours of work than that, you could always choose another one from your selection or something else, like babysitting.

work at mcdonalds to make some extra money and on the weekends help out grandma, she would really appreciate it.

c

I must say I had been flirting with postmodern philosophy in recent years –with the idea that objective truth is unattainable, that generalizations are impossible, and that all I have is my own perception of reality, which need not, and cannot, match yours. But although it’s a compelling stance in theory (and a cool one, especially when compared to geeky positivist squareness!), I’ve never figured out how to make it work in practice: in its extreme form, it implies that scientific research is worthless, since all its generalizations are fundamentally and inescapably flawed; the physical arguments postmodernists use -such as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle- are, deliberately or not, misunderstood by them; and the scientific results and benefits they show for their efforts are overwhelmingly weak.

So now, after a long inner debate, I’m kissing academic postmodernism goodbye. My disappointment started when I found out about the Sokal Affair (you really need to read that link if you haven’t heard of it), and deepened when I realized postmodernism gives an escape clause to creationists, global warming skeptics, the Bush administration, and yes, Stephen Colbert, to disregard facts and the reality-based community in favour of their own wishful thinking. But the nail in the coffin came recently from two very short, but very powerful and refreshing books: Harry Frankfurt’s “On Bullshit” and “On Truth“, both of them accessible philosophical essays. In the first, Frankfurt explains how bullshitters, so prevalent among marketers and politicians, are not really liars -they simply don’t care about whether their statements are true or false, only about what they make us believe. In the second book, he explains why this disregard for truth is such a big problem –because without a concern for truth there is no progress. “On Truth”, in particular, is very critical of postmodernism, and although the criticism is distilled and simplified, it was the little nudge I needed to make up my mind on the matter.

I’ll keep recognizing that truth is always more nuanced than it appears, and that achieving objectivity and rationality is tremendously hard. I’ll keep reading Foucault, Derrida, and the others, since there’s much to learn from them. I’ll keep making the point that, for any scientific finding, context is essential. But I can’t fool myself –there is a reality and I have the duty and the capability to strive to understand it, however clumsily, and to be objective about it.
