There are two concepts that I feel are more important than the others or are affected by and affect all others we have gone over in this class. The first concept is health as it ties into all these things, for if we are unhealthy it affects our minds and we are unable to learn and put that learning to good use in the future because it is fragmented or skewed. The second one is communication because what good is all the information we gather and learn if we can not effectively communicate with…
career choice of being a teacher and how these concepts will affect the way that I will teacher. Personally, I have learned a lot through this class this semester but I have not experienced any conceptual change. I believe that I am currently in the pre-dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction stages of the concepts discussed. My concepts have not changed, they have just been reinforced. I enjoyed and could relate to the Zirbel article that discussed concept changed. This is the first time I have…
The four skill builder concepts that I feel pertained to my experiences this quarter were other-centered messages, initiating conversation, clarifying supportive intentions, and describing feelings. Starting with other-centered messages I feel that I used this skill throughout this quarter. A particular example that comes to mind with my utilizing of this skill is just recently when I had a conversation with my sister, Danielle. My sister Danielle is currently taking a break from classes from BC…
The importance of cultural concepts in Māori society is evident in the influence they have on governance, social and economic exchange. There are many culture concepts that are important within Māori society, but this essay will analyse three. Firstly, rāhui (restriction).

for this assignment I was able to spend three and a half hours researching critics and other theorists who have written about the impact of bears in Alaska and the changes they face. From studying the different critic approaches to the concepts that I will be writing on, one of the things that I noticed was that while many discuss the lives and habitats of Alaskan brown bears. The critics will often times state that the lives of these bears are changing, one critic that mentioned…
In his book, Blue Chicago, David Grazian defines roles based on interactions that people have in Chicago's Blues clubs. Roles such as these can be assigned to people in any social situation. This principle can be extrapolated to other social contexts such as the expression of gratitude between Oberlin College students and the staff at Stevenson Dining Hall. This is demonstrated through the observation of interactions between students and staff members in three different scenarios: swiping in at…

The song “Loser” conveys precise and a straightforward message through singer’s personal feelings and impressions. The message in conjunction with an unusual way of expressing makes the song amusing to analyze and interpret. Relating to his audience provocatively throughout the piece of art - “Loser”, Beck has emphasizes being “adversely” different to what was perceived a norm at a time.

Like every child, I went through the ubiquitous “why” stage where I posed this question even to the smallest, most mundane events of life. Filled with genuine curiosity and fascination, I desired to understand the ornate workings of the world. Unlike the majority of children, however, I did not lose this fervor and drive to find answers. This inquisitiveness laid the foundation for my interest in research work. Growing up, my family placed a tremendous emphasis on health, fitness, and nutrition…
