A personal moral theory is a structured set of values and virtues that are used to explain why certain actions are right or wrong. It is the basis for one’s ethical reasoning and provides the framework for the way moral issues are evaluated and processed.

FEELING WEIRD
So, last week I wrote a heart-felt post about how much I love teaching and appreciate the students I have in my class. I’m not one who necessarily enjoys disclosing my thoughts and feelings, so the fact I shared that blog post on Facebook was a big deal to me. I wanted everyone to knowContinue reading “FEELING WEIRD”
TEACHING SURPRISE
The night before my first day of teaching at Southern Utah University, a single thought caused me enormous amounts of anxiety: “What if I don’t like teaching?” Teaching at a university has been my only real plan for the past few years. The opportunity to teach was the main reason why I chose SUU overContinue reading “TEACHING SURPRISE”
Framing Theory
For my thesis I have been studying up on framing theory. It may not be the most exciting blog post you’ve ever read, but…wait…it just might be! No, it really won’t be. But I think it’s cool. What is Framing Theory Framing theory was originally introduced by a renowned sociologist named Erving Goffman. In hisContinue reading “Framing Theory”
MJ’S HOF SPEECH
Originally posted on thelongshorttrader:
Love him or hate him, Michael Jordan’s ethos – his competitive nature, hunger for excellence, and drive to win – seems to capture the love, hunger, hard work, competitive spirit, and sense of calling one needs to survive and thrive in the money management business (beyond the pursuit of making $).…
GOOD TEACHER
It’s been three whole weeks since I started teaching a section of Interpersonal Communications at Southern Utah University. The opportunity to teach as I worked towards earning my master’s degree was one of the biggest reasons why I brought my family to SUU. Upon graduation, I felt that this program would best prepare me forContinue reading “GOOD TEACHER”
GRAD SCHOOL
When Summer and I began looking at graduate programs almost two years ago, we were drawn to three very different programs for three very different reasons. The first was Texas Tech. I met with two professors from their communications program about their (relatively) new Masters of Sports Communication program. Sports are my great passion, andContinue reading “GRAD SCHOOL”
FACULTY TRAINING
Last week I attended my first faculty training. Well, now that I think of it, I have actually attended three or four faculty trainings at BYU-Idaho. But this was my first faculty training where I was actually getting trained, not just taking notes for real faculty members. Anyways, last week I attended my first facultyContinue reading “FACULTY TRAINING”
THE BEST DAY
Summer and I recently learned that some good friends of ours gave birth to a perfectly innocent, stillborn baby. It broke our hearts to hear the news. I can honestly say there is nothing that frightens me more than losing Avery. As we talked, we recalled our first pregnancy, which ended in miscarriage. I knowContinue reading “THE BEST DAY”
WHY DUKE PT. 1
I’m often asked how I became a Duke fan. It’s a valid question. How did a kid from Oregon grow so passionate for a team that plays (literally) on the other side of the country? It has the makings of your typical fair-weather fan. You know, when someone just likes a team because they’re good.Continue reading “WHY DUKE PT. 1”
