Suicidal Tendencies

They do this to isolate themselves or escape from reality. If this behavior continues over a period of time then it might indicate that this young person is suffering from depression or anxiety, and at worst, might suggest suicidal tendencies.” (Melbourne Newsroom) I mean, this is also part of Dr. Mcferran’s theory on heavy metal. To back up my theory on why this is wrong, have you ever heard an album or just a song that you loved so much and you listen to it over and over until you burn yourself out? For me, this is just an example of the fight against heavy metal music. In my time of listening to the genre, I have not experienced any negative feelings. I have only gained positivity from the music. Even when the music was promoting negative lyrics, but they still somehow connected to how I was feeling at that time and helped me. Another example of the positive effects of metal are when you’re extremely angry, you can turn on an angry song and let it be your way…

In his article “’Clock Boy’ and America’s Suicidal PC Tendencies”, Shapiro discusses his opinion on how the situation was handled. Ben’s biggest thought that he continues to bring up is the fact that all of these safety precautions would not have been taken if Ahmed Mohamed wasn’t Muslim. The decision to follow through with these safety procedures were based off of the Muslim terrorists in charge of 9/11, and the need to protect the country from further incidents. He also goes on to discuss how…

Culture Though Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America and has the highest murder rate in the world, the culture as a whole adopts a laid-back style and has a distinct cultural flavor (CIA World Factbook). Some of the culture of Honduras is found in its Mayan roots, where temples in Tegucigalpa provide a glimpse into the historic past. In terms of common food, tortillas, beans, corn and rice are eaten every day. During lunch time, many businesses close so that a siesta can be…

The summative assignment I reviewed was incredible! I can’t believe a student was able to do that. I guess with a lot of dedication and effective use of class time can do that. For the next two and a half months I will have to use extremely good use of my class time. For this class time to be used effectively, I will have to do multiple things. This includes no distractions. I would need to focus on the work at hand, and not the people around me. I need to focus on myself so that I can strive to…

I have learned that my tendency to stay quiet helps me to play the role of an observant, but at the same it jeopardizes my ability to interact with other people. Thus, I need to be aware about my tendency of drifting away from people in order to connect with others. True Colors. During the true colors activity, learned that as a yellow member, I tend to follow rules, respect authority and remain focus on the task at hand. When I was paired up with other people who were also yellow and asked to…

Test 1: Are you type A? I scored 99 points on the first test, which categorises me as personality type B1. I believe this places me in an area that is not a hard-core type B, and allows me to display some soft type A attributes. I am a punctual person, preferring to be on time and meet deadlines, I do not obsess over time and can take time off for leisurely pursuits without feeling overwhelming guilt. With this, it may mean a tendency to procrastinate, and this tends to shorten the timelines…

For my change project, I have decided to focus on individual change as opposed to organizational change because at this time I am not involved in an organization. After deep consideration and self-reflection, I have decided to write about time/self-management and how it will help me achieve my goal of attaining a business degree by the end of 2018. At the beginning of last year, I decided to dedicate myself to school and learning with the hope of being successful in the business world. To do…

compared to his strengths, but could still be fixed. Once I develop a better relationship with him, I may feel confident enough to mention the flaws I’ve noticed to him. I’m sure he’s already been told once or twice in his military career, but constructive criticism never hurts to be repeated. The one strength to my Shirt’s public speaking that I can relate to the most is the ability to command a room. The few times I have been given the floor to speak in public, I spoke with confidence and kept…

I’d like to begin this reflective essay by airing out that I’ve never had the same affinity for reading and writing that I do for the sciences. Early in my education I struggled with them. However, during my high school experience I believe I’ve developed the requisite talents needed to be – at least somewhat – proficient in the aforementioned areas. With regards to reading, my largest problems have come from my tendency to lose focus, and most of my writing issues were caused by not knowing…

This movie shows how groups vary in communication skills. Larger groups tend to have a more complex way of communicating. Members in larger groups usually have less opportunities to voice their thoughts and opinions. Throughout this movie I observed how a group of jurors, 12 men, communicated with each other to determine the fate of an 18 year old accused young man. This movie perfectly portrayed the different stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, and performing. In the…
