they can't change no matter how hard they try. Charlie Gordon is a full grown man with an IQ of 68 and the only thing he wants is to be smart, but with a score like Charlie's you would be considered mentally inadequate. Charlie cannot change his intelligence because of mental restrictions until he is offered a surgery that can triple his IQ, and when he hears about the opportunity he jumps on it, he is very eager to begin his transformation into becoming smart.There for Charlie should take the…

My path to acquiring intelligence is a testament that disproves the general belief that smart people are innately intelligent. Indeed, there are people who see information once and are able to recall it verbatim, but that is not the case for everyone, not even Asians. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just “brains” that aid a person in academic education. In order to succeed, a person needs have unwavering determination. My life’s story is all about determination, although my academic…

Also, the viewers should be able to understand what results I have…

When considering the factors affecting a child’s socialization, bias and stereotyping are factors that mostly are overlooked but still exist. I come from a minority cultural and ethnic group in the multicultural America. I am a South Asian Muslim and personally, I feel my children are always trying to “fit-in” among their friends at school. For example, my younger child never knew that he is “brown” until he was called brown by kids in kindergarten at school. Before he started pre-school, he was…

Forget it and drive on is a saying that has valuable qualities behind it. The qualities involve patience, forgiveness, and selflessness. We learn these qualities from our own experiences. However, these qualities are not easy to apply in everyday life. It is something we have to consistently remind ourselves to practice. We have to remind ourselves that we are no more important than anyone else. The three articles I read prove the importance of patience, forgiveness, and selflessness. The…

Piaget based his theory around cognitive development and states that the needs of the whole child must satisfied. He focuses on studies of mental processes which include how people perceive, think, learn and remember. He focused on the constructive perspective, in which, he sees learning as a construction (Dahl, 1996, P.2). Piaget saw children as little scientists and he stated that an active child requires knowledge through self-evaluation and they use what they have previously learnt to form…
