Assertiveness

The conflict between Creon and Antigone appears to be two opposing forces that clash against one another. However, the issue, when viewed through a societal perspective, becomes a little more complicated. This is evidenced by one of the points Professor Singer made about Antigone and her role in Ancient Greek society. Through her actions and beliefs in the play, Antigone is forced to play an unnatural role for a woman of her age and status in Ancient Greece. Her natural role would be to mourn…

The ability to listen is a skill that most people do not possess. It is a skill that takes effort in every situation. It is not possible to master the ability to listen and then from that point on, all is well and perfect. In order to listen well, one must actively take in information and process, striving to understand to the best of the listener’s ability so they may respond accordingly. Misunderstandings are probably the most likely cause of any debate, so listening is the best interpersonal…

Judge Taylor argues that, “ People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.” That being so when a person already has a preconceived opinion about something, their vision becomes impaired and their ears deafened. This suggests that they are so narrow-minded that they can only perceive what they are open to believing. Without widening the extent of their black and white minds and discovering the grey side of things. I will be exploring the aspects of, ‘voice’ and ‘place’…

I am not ghetto, or loud. I do not clap my hands, roll my neck or kiss my teeth. Naturally, I am not confrontational or a fighter. I am a sixteen year old East African girl who wants to talk freely like water spilling out of a faucet but is constantly being plugged.

The older I get the more I realize that the blog posts of black women…

Parents are much more experienced than we. However, we seldom pay attention to this fact and assert that they lived in a completely different time compared to the present. We often get irritated when our parents try to reach out by opening conversations about important issues. We used to get the wrong idea and think that parents only attempt to invade our privacy. I agree that as adolescents we usually avoid conversing about topics such as negative life experiences, dating experiences, sexual…

situations is a very difficult task for me. Often I believe that aggressiveness is not the right course of action in an argument. However, there are times and situations in which aggressiveness is the only acceptable reaction. Where non-assertiveness or even simple assertiveness fail, taking an aggressive stance in a conflict is the only option. One situation, in my opinion, where it is best to react aggressively is if the opposing person in the conflict is attacking a very personal belief of…

For example, Donna Beegle in a talk she gave about poverty described when a teacher was complaining about a ten-year-old student because he would always be late to class. The teacher took away the student resources, extra curriculum, and did not let him join in sports. The little boy was being hammered every day for his tardiness, thus Donna Beegle decided to figured out what was going on. She found out that the little boy was living in a back of a pickup truck with his grandpa. The teacher…

Is the glass ceiling a myth or a reality. In this casebook they talk about how women are treating different from men in their jobs even though we are in a century that supposedly accepts women as equals and not like a week and in defense creatures that you have to take care of. I decided to pick this topic because is really interesting to me how the culture is really hypocrite when it comes to women fight for equality. Nowadays you will find people thatbelievee thatwomens just belong in…
