Plato was a Greek philosopher who is best known for his work, "The Republic". In this work, Plato sets out to demonstrate what would make a just and perfect society. In Plato 's Republic (book V), Socrates claims that "the model of the just city cannot come into being until philosophers rule as kings or kings become philosophers (IEP/Plato). Plato 's ideal society is based on the concept of justice, namely, the natural division of labour. With the natural division of labour there are three…

1. What did you observe about the developmental level of students? During the video I observed many different developmental levels of students. Some students seemed interested and were engaged by raising their hands to answer questions while others did not. Those raising their hand showed they had some background knowledge on Tecumseh. The same students raised their hand time and time again. There were students who were sitting quietly watching the Brain Pop Video while a few other students…

Similar to the other group therapies, there are certain norms and rules established in psychoeducational group therapy. Along with trust there must be respect among the group. Anything that is talked about during a group session should remain within the group, and group members in should refrain from socializing with each other outside of the group ( CIAITION). The psychoeducational group therapy begins with session one; rapport building and trust. In the session group members will establish…

1) Please describe the concept of unfinished business as used in Gestalt Therapy (2 points) a.

In other words, unfinished business can be described as the feelings that are associated with certain memories that the client is not completely aware of. Moreover, Gestalt therapists may use the process of figure formation to better understand how the individual organizes…

All too often, people (especially children) are not taught to properly express their thoughts and emotions. "Children should be seen and not heard" is an all too famous (infamous) motto that has been used for a long time. However, if humans are not supposed to express their thoughts, what happens? We learn to stuff our emotions down and repression becomes second nature after a while. The problem is that thoughts and emotions are meant to be expressed, not repressed. A baby cries, and it does not…

As a teacher the most important thing that I want students to learn is the ability to connect concepts learned in class to real life situations. In this day and age I see an America full of citizens that in my opinion lack the ability to critically think about the problems in this world. My job though, is to generate a new kind of breed that will help students achieve better results that in turn will lead to better decision making. Some of the strategies I have in mind is about looking at issues…

Jovan Lucas-Chamberlain is my full name, but most people call me Jay-voe. Not sure where the nickname originated, but I love it. Before I get into the meat and potatoes, lets dive into my past. In 2010, I attended Georgia Southern University with my best friend. No one made us go to class nor clean our rooms. Eventually, we developed a routine. Our routine was to skip class, get high or drunk, and last but most importantly, get laid. Honestly, I do not think I attended one class my entire tenure…

Self-reflection Currently, the population I am interested in working with is children, especially children in elementary schools. Personally, the elementary school education has a profound impact on children’s future development. In the elementary school, they start developing their self-esteem as learners; they start forming their own value system; they start learning how to communicate with teachers, peers and parents. Children’s social and personal development in elementary school to some…

The lessons the workshop taught the children that went through it was invaluable. We hope that we as adults show our children learn from us the mistakes of the past and treat people equally. A lot of times unfortunately people have stigmata’s either put on them by society because of how they look or they put them on themselves and people treat them differently. The lessons that this workshop teaches are lessons that everyone should have. You can spend our entire life trying to instill the…

The most common indicators of people who suffer dementia are memory loss, deteriorating communication skills and ineffective handling of normal daily activities (Personal Social Services Research Unit, 2007).
