Lecture

Inductive coding as described by Thomas (2006) was used to analyze the lecture on racism and antiracism. Thomas (2006) described five steps when using inductive coding with initial reading and reading as the first steps. While reading I was taking notes about my first impression and observations about the text. After the initial reading with note taking, I read through the text again to either confirm, refute and or add more information from my first reading as suggested by Sánchez-algarra and…

The Last Lecture Randy states “We cannot change the the cards we are, dealt just how we play the hand.” Randy really emphasizes this throughout the book. The Last Lecture goes through many stories of how Randy rethought his priorities in life after getting diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This made me also rethink my priorities when I was reading The Last Lecture. Randy always has a different approach on life. He never has a no quit perspective on life and never takes “NO” for an answer. This…

Throughout the book Paush is able to connect with the reader and inspire them to leave behind their own…

In Freud’s First Lecture, he explores the case study of a hysterical patient that was examined by Breuer. Breuer is eager to help his patient, unlike other doctors who are unwilling to help. Similar to the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the narrator’s physician husband saw her mental illness as a natural occurrence and brushed it off. In the end, she did not receive proper treatment and became insane. The circumstance in the short story can further prove Freud's criticism on doctors who are…
