IDEO seems to use all four types of creativity discussed in Chapter 3, to approach the methods of creating an improved shopping cart. However, the two specific types of creativity that I feel IDEO spent a reasonable amount of time doing are Incubation and Improvement. The act of Teamwork is highly implemented in IDEO for finding a new design to meet the deadline complete the given task. The group assigned to work on the task of creating a new Shopping cart is led by a team leader, who welcomes…

Penrose changes the subject and asks Paul what his emergency was. Paul tells him he wants to go to the French authorities and that powerful people at Eden-Olympia and the Cannes police are involved. He went to Penrose because he wanted someone who would back him up. Penrose asks him is it had anything to do with Greenwood and Paul tells him that it’s possible. He says he knew what was happening and might have been murdered because he was going to do something about it. Paul wants to report armed…

Chapter eight highlights the importance of student’s prior knowledge, purposes of reading, and provides strategies to be used before, during, and after reading. Students must learn reading comprehension because without it reading does not provide the reader with any information. As a future educator, I will teach reading comprehension so I can help my students develop the knowledge, abilities, and experiences to become enthusiastic readers. Activating and using background knowledge is important…

Roger Crowley’s novel, 1453, is a narrative that lays the groundwork for the Battle of Constantinople. The collapse of the Persian Empire and the schism between the East and the West are also encompassed in this book. The fall of Constantinople signaled a shift in history and the end of the Byzantine Empire. Crowley’s comprehensive account of the battle between Mehmet II, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, and Constantine XI, Byzantium’s emperor, illuminates the period in history that was the…

diseases as cholera, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and diphtheria (p. 234. Chapter introduction). This quote shows how bacteriology was giving a scientific reason for the worst diseases plaguing society. One would think that because “contagion could cross class and race lines” that pre-existing notions about disease in relation to class and race would vanish (p. 234, Chapter introduction). However, the opposite would occur when germ theory actually…

Chapter Six: Socialism The most prevalent antithesis to capitalism is, of course, socialism. While there exist many forms of socialism, economically, they all rely primarily on social ownership and control over capital production and management of the economy to the state, cooperative enterprises, or even a semblance of citizen ownership ( I say semblance because, let’s face it, once the state decides where ownership lies, it’s all over for you). The participating society (again, the semblance…

Frayn structures the novel in short and large chapters to show that his childhood, when compared to the present day, was far more momentous. Frayn presents hostility entering the one sided friendship between Stephen and Keith through the use of different paralinguistic and prosodic features which contradicts that they are friends who play together. The younger Hayward dominates the relationship due to his arrogant ways of feeling superior. In chapter five where the two boys make a pact to…

In this book, the author Crisp attempts to dig deep into the myths surrounding the Alamo - Davy Crockett’s heroic death and the authenticity of the de la Peña diary. In writing this book, Crisp uncovers hidden truths while engaging in contradictions with other historians. Essentially this book seeks not to debunk the myths of the Alamo, but rather to understand them. In my opinion, what David Crockett and the Alamo means is that Davy Crockett is in a sense a representation of Anglo-American…

Chapter 2: The Habit Life sucks! Either you have discipline to work toward your goals or you lack discipline and end up in a life you never wanted to live. Discipline is a funny word. On one hand, it is something you really wish you had a ton of and, on the other hand, it reminds you of a mindless robot and makes you feel like discipline means giving up on your freedom. Some will even say that daily discipline on a subject is a form of obsession. I believe that every individual has…
