As a learning method, I enter each course of an open mind. This learning modality allows me to focus on each objective and its manifestations. I observed this process during my Master’s program and I kept note through discernment and consciousness in my daily journey. During the prelude, the title is what attracted me to apprehend this course had something to do change. When trying to complete and absorb my assignments, I had a bit of trouble, until week three. Throughout this time, a lot of the information that I was registering had to deal with me and looking at myself in the mirror. After taking the time to really reflect, I also started to comprehend the objectives that were timely manifesting throughout society (i.e. killing, racism, systems, etc). …show more content…
Prior to comprehending this knowledge, I have always been analytical. The changing of my world views on this session has enhanced my applications and birthed more of who I am. For many years, I had an opportunity in visualizing events, self-disciplined, and maneuvering through life. I enjoyed reading Mezriow. I started to see how maturity was opening me up in becoming transformative. “As we mature, we improve our ability to anticipate reality by developing and refining our meaning schemes and perspectives so that we use them more effectively to differentiate and integrate experience” (p. 146). I believe that is key. For a while, I have been seeking information that would provide clarity in order to dwell in my purpose; which includes making sense of my

    Funeral Festival In America Summary

    I chose to read the book Funeral Festivals in America: Rituals for the Living by Jacqueline S. Thursby. This work explores numerous aspects of funerals and the customs that surround it. Although some of it was hard to follow and seemed a bit jumbled, I was able to get a sufficient amount of information from it that I believe will help me become a great funeral director in the future. I was able to extract a few great lessons from the work, the first being the fact that all people unconsciously seek a transformative experience. I found that this is an experience that provides deep knowledge but isn’t necessarily accessible to the person until they have that experience.…

    Abst100 Week 1 Reflection

    Until very recently, I have had little to no knowledge or contact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture and heritage. My knowledge came from sections of high school history classes. Before entering ABST100, I had a broad understanding on the history of colonization, Indigenous Australians themselves, and on Indigenous Identity. However, over the duration of both Week 1’s tutorial and lecture, I quickly noticed that the course content for Introducing Indigenous Australia was very different from my other subjects, where it allowed me to gain an exceptional amount of knowledge and broaden my views on Indigenous Australia and Indigenous Australians.…

    Personal Narrative: My Father's Relationship

    As I was observing the relationship between the client and his daughter, it made me recall feelings of my relationship with my father. I found myself creating biases to form connections. Through this experience, I realized that I need to learn specific language skills for counselling in Punjabi as well as learn ways of appropriately showing an understanding without the focus on self-involvement. I also found learning about PTSD in older adults and the effective interventions used, such as CBT very useful for future practices. It is important for workers to acknowledge beliefs and to be sensitive to age-specific issues (Clapp & Beck, 2012).…

    Analysis Of David Schnarch: Becoming A Self

    Schnarch: Becoming a Self As I inquire about what it takes to become a satisfied woman, I am discovering satisfaction comes from within and it requires an individual to have a strong core self. From a developmental perspective, Dr. David Schnarch explores the process of the emerging self in his book Intimacy & Desire. He writes about the importance of developing a solid flexible self rather than relying on others to make you feel okay. He thinks the first emerged self was a “reflected sense of self” meaning a self that is reliant on feedback from others.…

    The Helms White Racial Identity Model

    The self-reflection recording was a long questionnaire that was given in the beginning of this course. The questionnaire involved a range of questions and topics from definitions to how we view our race. This recording gave me a much deeper view of how I felt about my own race, and the way I view the world. The second part of the self-reflection is a way to see the personal growth and change that has occurred within the span of this course. This self-reflection will provide my view and opinion on how I think I have changed, or have not changed, during my time in this course.…

    Concludes That Boy Something Analysis

    Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago. To start off, I have looked at my life in a new light and sees how I should understand others before I judge them, as well as, to understand the importance of morals and values. Everyone has their own values and morals that they believe in to determine what is right and wrong in life, so have I. Not everyone can agree to the same stuff about how one’s should live our life, but instead learn from our value and believe to make our own story in our life.…

    Meaning Therapy

    Meaning Therapy (MT) directly works with clients’ personal meaning of life and experience. Its interventions integrate cognitive approach with existential theory and that they direct clients’ focus on their understanding of the meaning (Wong, 2012a).

Signature Themes are traits that an individual has that tells a lot about their personalities and morals. After taking a short personality assessment, the results are given to you by judging your values and how you tend to do things such as interact with people or what you enjoy doing for fun. These Signature Themes are to help one understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how to properly maximize themselves. My Signature Themes were Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Intellection, and Learner.…

    Aristotle And Aquinas Analysis

    To begin with, purpose has been regarded as the key to decision making, as an evolutionary adaptation, as a means of making sense out of chaos and as an individual’s ultimate goal. Purpose is the inner strength and the responsibility that a man has for his existence. Among our potentials are the ability to seek our own individual good and the ability to seek well of the society. Many philosophers and theologians have tried to explain the ultimate purpose of life and the goals for an individual’s existence.…
