Alder

In the words of Shannon L. Alder, “Your perspective of life comes from the cage you were held captive in.” In other words, Alder is saying that the way you view the world is based on the way you grew up. Many aspects that impact the way you see the world include: your family, religion, parents, gender, role in the family, etc. A cultural lens is the way you see life and the world around you. It is what you were taught by your parents/guardians as you were growing up, and it is what decides who…

Though some history says she was won in a game of chance (Alder). He was much older than Sacagewea, being in his forties and he already had a wife and son. He bought Sacajawea to be his second wife from the Hidatsa. Sacagawea lived with her new family in the Hidatsa village. Soon after Sacajawea was sold, the…

best friend at college will have a hard time saying that the experience wasn’t worth it…” (Alder). Students do not have to befriend a person just because they are around them eight hours for five consecutive days. That is how students made friends in grade school. In college, students can befriend whoever they want. “…many people get their first post-college jobs through connections they make in classes” (Alder). Students can connect with their classmates. Their past and present classmates can…

After reading Adler’s book, I found some helpful information about studying or reading different types of materials that can help me become a better reader and learner. Reading has not been one of my strongest points in school. I have not learned how to read the meanings of important words that the other expects the reader to know. I have not mastered picking out the words that are meant to be clues or forshadowing to information the author expects the reader to catch. I try to be an exceptional…

Similarly, numerous empirical studies have debated the issue of appearance selection and whether it constitutes a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Alder & Gilbert, 2006; Hamermesh & Jeff, 1994; Johnson, Podratz, Dipboye, & Gibbons,…

right to this information, but because of the general misconception that GMOs are dangerous and unhealthy, these labels can steer consumers away from buying certain products. In some scenarios, there are people arguing to end use of GMOs in general. Alder (2016), the author of “There is no Consumer Right to Know,” argues that labeling GMOs on food products could potentially be considered unconstitutional. He makes this argument due to the fact that there is a lack of scientific evidence that…

the majority of sightings that claim to spot Nessie in the middle of the loch. Black alder trees are some of the most common species growing around the banks of Loch Ness. This makes sense as, “The occurrence of black alder is closely linked to the availability and abundance of water”(Claessans), and Loch Ness is one of the largest collections of freshwater in the world. An interesting characteristic of black alder trees is that they do not decay in water. In fact, freshwater strengthens the…

“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, "What else could this mean?” ― Shannon L. Alder. “Two Kinds” is about the bond between mother and daughter changing drastically throughout the story, which changes the perspective of freedom the daughter had. In the story “Two Kinds” Amy Tan shows how the character June advances the plot by having June change her views on how her mother treated her, and how the relationship between them fell…

expresses the mindset of a person when making a decision. I totally believe that the right path that ends up for us is the selfless path that benefits others more than yourself. I think that we need to open ourselves to other people just like Shannon L. Alder says, and just because it is what someone thinks, it does not make it correct. I believe that decisions based of selfishness leads us away from God's plan and righteousness. I chose this quote because I think it is very valid and relates to…

The quote by Shannon L. Alder is an accurate analysis of a mental illness. Her quote says, “The true definition of mental illness is when the majority of your time is spent in the past or future, but rarely living in the realism of NOW”. People with a mental illness have no conscience. They do not realize life right in front of them. They prosper in the daydreams of the fruitful past which affects their current situation through loss of focus on the grasp of everyday life. They see only what is…
