: About Me

JASPER P. RANDOLPH IS MY PEN NAME, but my real name also has the initials JPR. And on that note... here's some more interesting facts about me! Enjoy!

ACADEMICS:
College Graduate with a B.A in Criminology and minors in European History, and Political Science. I'm only a 2 courses short of a second history minor, which would be in U.S. History. I'll keep that open as a potential use of my time later on.

POLITICS: I find it deeply disturbing how Civic duty and pride in one's nation has been corrupted by politicians for the self-interest of maintaining their political roles, status and monetary benefits. I have much to say about politics of today and the politicians who say they are working for the people... so, if you care to hear more about it feel free to check out the 3 links in my "My Links" section for insight on the political world of today. And who knows, one day I might just publish a book or two. Enjoy!

GET INVOLVED:
I try to get involved and give back when I can. However, over the last year I've been extra busy, but I still never fail to give my loose change from every shopping errand I go on to the donation cans they have for various charities. Or setting aside $20 minimum a year to buy something from a charity like a Breast Cancer Awareness and Animal Rescue bracelets to hand out as Christmas stocking stuffers to friends, family and co-workers like this past year.

Here's a couple things for you to think bout-

If everyone donates $1 in say a region of 1 million people, that's $1 million raised for charities in that region. Think about it. It doesn't take a lot to have a huge impact. It only takes a small show that you possess some humanity.

Also, If you help someone else now, who know's someday when you're down and out, running low on money, or in need of some serious help, one of those charities, or some random person may be YOUR saving grace as well! Good Actions bestow upon the individual good Karma.

My passion is ...

History, Law & Politics (in an academic/working sense) & Sports, Writing, Music, Art, & more (in a relaxed hobby setting)

I know too much about ...

admitting I don't know TOO much about anything, in fact, I hope to learn more

My parents always told me ...

the right things at the right times.

My childhood ambition ...

From middle school on was to become a Lawyer

My favorite memory ...

would have to be the overnight class trips to Acadia National Park in middle school.

Why I write ...

Because I can.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

currently would be stuff online while hearing the hum of a humidifier.

My first job ...

was working on a dairy farm, unless you count daily chores growing up as a first job, in which case, it'd still have to do with raising animals.

My best moment ...

is the moment I decided that to be a leader you have to be equal in every aspect of your life to those you represent otherwise you will only pursue self-interested and self-indulgent actions.

My inspiration ...

is the world!

Arts & Humanities > Ancient History The trial and death of Socrates

10 of 11

The life of philosophy is always a tough life to partake in, but for some of our greatest philosophers of all time, their lives would end in tragedy, not because they were corrupt, criminal or treasonous, but rather, because certain groups of people would find their charisma and intellect of great threat to their personal standing. It is these groups of people that instead of allying with or learning from, decide to destroy who they see as menaces, in some cases, literally. The relationship between Socrates, who is seen as one of the greatest philosophers of all time, and his accusers can ...
