Monkey Business Everything has an origin, even us humans, but how, when, and where did we evolve? Steven Pinker’s Revenge of the Nerds contains two parts that. In the first, he identifies and examines the four traits that aid the evolution of human intelligence; this builds a background on the subject at hand. Then, the second, goes on to discuss the evolution of our mind and culture concurrently developing, thus, the standard timetable is inaccurate. Although Pinker does employ the elements of…

to thrive for knowledge and the skills necessary to continue learning. I was surprised to learn that even after college certain skills will still be used in my daily life. So, I am expecting to obtain skills such as time management, study skills, critical thinking, and much more through college. One skill necessary to have is time management, time is a well-known importance because we can only lose time. We can never gain it back. So, knowing how to prioritize from important to less important…

Barbara J. King introduces her argument with a very serious and riveting story about a mother dolphin in distress over the corpse of her baby and uses this anecdote to grab the audience’s attention, appeal to their pathos, and intrigue the audience to continue reading. Her argument is an ambiguous case because even though the two topics of animals and mourning over a loved one would each seem to be honorable, a large portion of the audience she is targeting either doesn’t know or have not…

When asking a group of people whether they prefer reading books or watching movies, the responses will vary. In any case, some people will prefer reading books, and some will prefer watching movies. While reading books and watching movies are both entertaining pastimes, it is certain that they are exceedingly different. Although books and movies have many differences, they have many factors that are alike, as well. In the world today, book reading is not as popular as it once was. Reading an…

learners, you as the teacher need to be flexible. For a gifted student in addition to the simulation, you might have a debriefing to discuss what was found. In addition, you can build on their knowledge but put them in a role that they have more critical thinking skills being applied, thus allowing the “individual’s skills are(being) matched to the challenges being faced” (Sisk, 2009, p. 599). This would allow for everyone to learn the concept but be challenged according to their ability…

I came into this class kind of dreading to take it, for I’m not a fan of writing essays. I’m glad I took this class, though, for a couple of reasons: one it was online, it was in the middle of the summer, and then the course was stretched over an 8-week course. I came in here just trying to get my credit for my major, but I’ve taken into liking of some of the authors we’ve covered and check out some of their works after this course. I would say or like to think, that I’ve become better and…

Little things which did not cause you stress before are now being magnified by the smallest actions of others may be an indicator to re-evaluate where you are and try to become centered once again. When your body, mind, and spirit are no longer in harmony your inner balance will be off as well. It will be difficult to recognize and take responsibility when acting against someone who may be in the line of your unhappiness. Bringing yourself back to basics and reflecting on why you have…

In the military, there are very few decisions that involve groupthink – which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you frame the answer and the overall impact of that decision. However, last summer our organization was presented with a unique situation. The Army built a new set of barracks next to the flight line, where my unit worked on a typical day. Currently, the Soldiers resided in older barracks closer to the headquarters but these barracks were quite a distance from the…

reading. Critical reading is described in the Content Area Reading and Writing textbook as basically being able to look at what we are reading on a deeper level. Being able to construct inquisitive and complex questions that lead to critical thinking. Usually, when students read they just read over the words and that’s it. They don’t stop and analyze the material they are reading. They don’t question why it happened, who did it and the motives they had. Critical reading and critical thinking…
