How I Remember My Information Essay

Improved Essays
To being, I obtain my information from my classes, professors, family, friends, movies, and books. If I find something important or useful I will remember it and possibly use the information later. However, this does not mean that I live in an echo chamber, I do not repeat everything said. I reword what was said so that it makes sense to me and so that it is in my own words. Furthermore, I process information by deciding whether or not I find it useful and/or interesting. If I decide that information is not useful I tend to forget the information. But, if I decide that something is worth knowing I try and remember it so that I can refer back to that information at a later time. For the most part, I remember information from my classes and what is said by others. I choose to remember these details in order to do well in my classes, as well as, form bonds with others, which requires memorization of what others like or dislike. I try and process the information that I receive so that I can access needed information later. …show more content…
I believe this because some individuals have an opinion of hatred that could be false. Specifically, some individuals believe that others are less than them if they are of a different ethnicity, gender, status, or sexual orientation. Yet, this is not true, everyone is valuable in their own way. We are humans and we have differences that set us apart from others. In addition, some people’s opinions are not based on facts. Some individuals are uneducated, therefore, when they hold an opinion about a controversial issue it may not have any evidence to support it, which makes it difficult for others to agree with their opinion. In order for an opinion to be valid, it needs to have evidence that supports it so that it is more like a fact, rather than an

    Not every individual will share the same beliefs or opinions. We can also share facts without forcing them on another person. One last word of wisdom to help fight the urge to judge others, when you notice a weakness that a person displays, rather than judge them for their shortfall, stop and recall a weak moment in your own life. Would it have been easier if someone passed judgement on you, or offered you a helping…

    The quote "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn" by Benjamin Franklin tells me that by just telling me without showing me will not let me learn anything. I agree with this quote because when a teacher or someone tells me something about an assignment or homework I will eventually forget about it but if some one teach it to me step by step and I write it down will let me remember. By writing down the notes that the teachers wrote down step by step and write it my own understanding will make me understand more about the lesson because who understands my writing more than myself.…

    People fear what they don’t understand and this fear can lead to an intense hatred that can convince others to believe them. During World War II many people began to believe the wartime propaganda convincing themselves that the Japanese were animals instead of people. The American people began to believe the Japanese race was the “enemy” instead of the Axis powers. They had even convinced our own government to imprison its own citizens because of their race instead of their ideals. The internment of Japanese Americans encouraged racism in the U.S. because the wartime hysteria influenced the American people to think that the Japanese were the “enemy” and the government imprisoned them even though they were innocent.…

    We use the way of knowing (WOK’s) to explain why things are the way they are and how we make sense of everything in the world around us. The Wikipedia article about Scopes, Inherit the Wind and personal experiences can help explain how we see the ways of knowing being used in actuality. Through one of the ways of knowing, physiology, we can prove out existence on earth. We are living humans and we do need certain things to survive. We became the way we are, of course through God, but, speaking more scientifically, though the implantation of the sperm within the female uterus.…

    After watching How reliable is your memory? by Elizabeth Loftus, I believe that to a great extent, memory is not a reliable source of knowledge because it can be distorted, contaminated, and even falsely imagined. Memory decay, distorted memory, hindsight bias, consistency bias, the availability heuristic bias and suggestibility- are all problems that beset our reliance on memory. “I was there. I saw it.”…

    Hate can lead to many problems.

    There is one new understanding covered in class that I struggle with the most. Listening to your personal survival story along with watching the movie We Were Children opened my eyes. Although residential schools were brought up in classes while I was high school we never went into any depth and were only given a general overview of how the schools were ran. My previous understanding of the events that took place in residential schools began and ended with children being forcibly removed from their families to attend the schools. What I found the most surprising is that the last school closed in 1996.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
