"Who Will Replace Marcus Mariota?"

"Who will replace Mariota?"  

Who is Marcus Mariota?

     WikipediaMarcus Ardel Taulauniu Mariota, (born 

October 30, 1993) is an American footballquarterback. He 

played college football at the University of Oregon and was 

the Ducks starting quarterback from 2012 to 2014. Mariota 

won the Heisman Trophy as a junior in 2014.  

     Mariota is of Samoan and German descent.[1] He was 


born in Honolulu to Toa Mariota and Alana Deppe-Mariota. He 

grew up admiring the quarterback play of Jeremiah Masoli, a 

fellowSamoan American, who was also a standout 

quarterback at the all-boys Catholic St. Louis Highand 

University of Oregon.[2] Mariota is a Christian.[3]

featured columnist, 
       Mariota, who officially announced Wednesday that he 

would pass up his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL 

draft, will leave school as the most decorated player in 

program history. But beyond being the reigning Heisman 

Trophy winner, Mariota leaves behind a reputation as one of 

the most well-liked athletes in recent memory.

      In addition to pursuing and finishing his general science 



degree during his time at Oregon,Moseley added that outside 


of the football field, Mariota regularly mentored local youth at 


the Boys and Girls Club of Emerald Valley, Ore.

Now back to my original question, "Who will replace Mariota?"  
    
 Let me ask, "Is it possible to replace a person?"   

The Oregon Ducks can replace their open quarterback 


position that was once held by Marcus Mariota but 

they cannot replace the person of Marcus Mariota. Every 


individual is unique.  In addition to the skill set 

that they bring to the role, they also bring their 


personality and God-given gifts that are uniquely their 

own and ARE NOT REPLACEABLE.

Causeability introduced, Theory of Human Motivation by 

Maslow Hierachy

It was in 1943 a Psychologist Mr. Abraham Harold Maslow 

suggested hisTheory of Human Motivation. His theory is 

one popular and extensively cited theory of motivation. 

Maslow's theory is based on the Hierarchy of Human 

Needs. According to Maslow, human behavior is related to 

his needs. It is adjusted as per the nature of needs to be 

satisfied. In hierarchy of needs theory, Maslow identified five 

types / sets of human need arranged in a hierarchy of their 

importance and priority. He concluded that when one set of 

needs is satisfied, it ceases to be a motivating factor. 

Thereafter, the next set of needs in the hierarchy order takes 

its place. These needs in hierarchy can be compared to a 

pyramid. At the lowest level, there will be first set of needs 

which can be described as basic needs and are universal in 

character. This will be followed by other sets of needs.

1.7.2015  "Is it ever okay to kill someone?"

Tim Dees, Retired cop and criminal justice professor, Reno Police Department, Reno Municipal Court, and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department

The question doesn't provide a context for being "OK." There 

is a difference between being legally "okay" and and being 

morally "okay." 

     Legally, the state may execute criminals after due process 

of law. Members of the military may kill adverse combatants 

on the battlefield. Law enforcement officers can use deadly 

force to defend their own lives, to defend the life of another, 

or to apprehend a dangerous fleeing felon (the word 

"dangerous" being an important distinction there). 

     A private citizen's legal ability to use deadly varies with 

the jurisdiction. In some states with so-called "make my day" 

laws, one may use deadly force to protect a dwelling or some 

property. 

     Whether it is morally permissible to kill someone is a 

much more complex question, and has a lot to do with your 

personal views on violence. A strict practitioner of non-

violence might lay down their life before they would rise up 

against another, even to defend themselves or a loved one.

I remember my dad often saying, "If public hangings were still 

allowed the world would be a better place."   What do you think?

1.5.2015  Why I do the things I do?  What is my personal truth?

- Take time to examine my beliefs, personal choices and how I 

    want to learn.

- Learn about different cultures, beliefs, traditions and 

   stereotypical views about such cultures.

- Writing is a craft that takes skill and practice.

- What you see depends on where your standing.

- What you feel depends on where you've been.
