Styles make the fights that is what boxing promoters always say when they choose two fighters to encounter each other in the ring. A boxer's repertoire, speed, ferociousness, capability to yield a punch, and persona determines the style. Boxing styles are more instinct than a learned feature. Once someone boxes more and more they will find themselves suiting into one of the four styles swarmer, slugger, boxer, and a boxer-puncher. First, the swarmer is a relentless aggressor with a strong chin…

Observation of Sydney Donner For the assignment I observed my niece Sydney Donner, however, I took myself out of being a family member and became an individual who was just analyzing her. Sydney is a four year old little girl, who is full of energy which shows in my observation. I observed her quite early, but this did not cease her from being the hyper child I know. I observed her at her house during/after breakfast time. Even though I am the child’s aunt, her mother did not mind me observing…

Transition Theory When examining the theoretical framework of veterans transitioning to higher educations, the theories developed by Schlossberg, Waters, and Goodman (1995) are most appropriate. Specifically, Transition Model (TM) and Integrative Model (IM) of the transitioning process. Prior to covering theoretical models the three types of transitions should be identified. Schlossberg outlines four types of transitions: Anticipated Transitions (AT), Unanticipated Transitions (UT),…

I dont cry anymore. Ive cried too much for my eyes to produce anymore tears of fear or happiness or sadness. But its not my fault. Ravens the reason I lost my tears. Raven has been a curse to my family for a long time. She’ll follow us everywhere. Whether it’s for vacation or school or even work. She’s always there. For us to get rid of her is impossible to even consider(12). We’ve tried priests, mediums, and even so called “Ghost Hunters.” They all say “a great evil is in the house” and yet…

Observing a group was a worthwhile experience for I not only witnessed the concepts explained in the textbook, but also gained additional insight that stretches the scope of what will be covered in class. This assignment was the perfect opportunity to observe a counseling approach that I have little understanding of, in this case auditing a group that focused on intervention. Thus, I wanted to experience a group session that focused on helping individuals overcome a particular maladaptive…

Map analysis is to explain the details and characteristics of the map and tell exactly what type of map it is. There are several different types of maps; the type of map I chosen to analyze is a thematic map of Kentucky. I chose the state of Kentucky because that is half of my heritage. My Momma is from Kentucky and that is where the entire side of my Momma’s family is from and currently live. The map I chose shows in great detail of the highways and interstates. It also shows the boundary of…

A beginner is “one that begins something; especially an inexperienced person” (Merriam-Webster). A beginner has yet to experience many things and would be less knowledgeable about a subject than one who is experienced. Someone who is arrogant can be described as someone who “can’t risk the fragile persona, crumbling in the face of defeat, and run from criticism. They tend to go to extremes of either deflecting blame onto others or condemning themselves for being only human” (Whitney, Derek).…

The theoretical frame for this research is based on the Stress Process Model but extends and elaborates the SPM in order to apply to research aims of the present study (Pearlin, Menaghan, Lieberman, & Mullan, 1981). As shown in Figure 1, the Stress Process Model (SPM) has identified interconnections between stressors and psychological stress outcomes with intervening mediators (Pearlin, 1989; Pearlin et al., 1981). A mediator is a significantly “intervening variable” (p.14) between two variables…

Personal Experience Nathalie Potvin Northern College BN 1206 101 Professor Shelly Hosman Monday, November 3rd, 2014 Personal Experience Within this paper, I will reflect on an experience gained in relation to providing oral care on clinical placement using John’ Model of Structured Reflection (2006). By utilizing the model of reflection I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to the importance of the skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning…

The observational method allowed me to observe a consumer’s actual behaviour rather than the ideal behaviour prescribed by society. The consumers, as a result, were honest in their actions and decisions. The observational method was an ideal way to ease me, a novice in anthropology, into the area of field research. We were instructed to use the non-participant field research method where I was required to observe what consumers did in a natural context without interfering. I felt this was very…
