A Few Questions

the small and great things that make people so interesting dissolve in a sea of social values. Ralph ellison's the invisible man shows that a person should not be bound to the images and desires of others, but should instead be the one to form and question their own…

the interview asking everyone in the office how their days were going and telling them to have a good day as I left. I prepared extensively for this interview, but as soon as soon as the questions came I encountered a few different mistakes the biggest one was being noticeably nervous when answering some questions and I began shaking my leg. The easiest way I can…

Overall, this year’s Native Son Mock Trial went very well, even if there are a few growth areas for the lawyers and witnesses. Most of the lawyers did a very good job presenting their ideas and examining witnesses. Growth areas for them would be to be more prepared when going up questioning the witnesses, speaking louder, and actually asking relevant questions that would support their side. Additionally, I think the judge should know her responsibilities better and know when to say what. In…

Dr. Cotton fired question after question, barely letting us finish the answer to the previous one as he asked the next. My frustration was building and I could feel my blood boiling. We could not finish a single answer because it was not the one he wanted. Dr. Cotton would not even listen to Nate’s responses anymore. Finally, it hit me like a brick. He was not trying to be an asshole, we had not answered a question on the paper. I realized we had not addressed our…

Although I have been in the classroom all semester I still wanted to ask her a few basic questions to help me create interesting math problems to use.

accurately answer each question asked. Additionally, I feel that I did a great job deciding on which book to use. This is because Izzy was engaged and ready to read the text. I feel that the only thing I did poorly was skip the “Before Reading” portion of my lesson, which I did unintentionally. Two things that I would change are adding in the questions that I improvised during the read aloud and avoid asking the questions that put us off task. There were moments that I came up with a question…

Doing a 24 hour recall evaluation in class proved to be more challenging than I had originally anticipated. A couple days before conducting the recall in class, I reviewed the instructional material provided in the course documents. After reviewing and analyzing the protocol, I was certain that I would be competent when it came to administering a 24 hour recall during lab and in front of an audience. The day our classmates took on the role of our fictitious patient, I found myself at a lost for…

Is the objectification of women in the media playing a role in gender inequality? Objectification means treating a person as a commodity or an object without regard to their personality or dignity. In today’s society objectification, of women especially, is treated as the norm and accepted as a part of everyday life. This creates a harmful ideology for young girls as they grow…

have developed along my twenty seven years of life. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”, so the question about who I am gives me this great opportunity to distinguish and put into words my true self. Then comes other questions to my mind, such as “am I only a name, profession, values, feelings, education, knowledge?” Do all those words define me? Not…

M said he sees loss as a “silver lining.” I followed up after his response with a question asking him to elaborate more on what he meant by a “silver lining.” He said that with any loss in life, whether it be a death or physical loss, you “will always have something there and always gain something new.” He believes that through our losses…
