Guiting Xu ENGL 105 Prof. Murphy Teach Character in School IQ and standardized tests measure students’ cognitive skills. However, test scores and IQ are not predictive of success later in life. I read a book; "How Children Succeed" is written by Paul Tough. Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character.

Students enjoy observing their peers and learning from their actions as to positive ways to advocate for themselves. Adolescents, in particular value their peers’ opinions, gather information from watching their peers and brainstorming with each other as to different ways to approach the same situation.

1. Before the Manhattan Project began, scientists portrayed an urgency in developing a weapon using nuclear fission mainly due to fear, that the German scientists might be able to deliver the nuclear bomb to Hitler before them (Hughes,2002, Chapter 4). As discussed in class, the need to race the Germans in building the bomb can be seen in the letter Leo Szilard wrote to Einstein. Secondly, the project was kept secretive in the beginning with remote locations across the country; where the…

required test to get certified within the State. On my first intent to get certified I didn’t pass it. I encouraged my self to keep trying. I took the required test five more times and I couldn’t get the score I needed. That was my first year of failures. We moved to Houston, and I found another job in another school. After a couple of years, I thought I needed to try again. I took the required test to get certified in Texas and I failed it six times. I found a program that prepared me for the…

In Shakespeare’s King Lear, it can be argued that the impact of self-entitlement is a perceived evil persona that can lead to self-destruction of an individual. King Lear believes he is able to split his kingdom up between all three of his daughters without repercussions. To accomplish this he requests they all confess their love for him and…

"hallucinogenic development." This development depended on medication use, odd music, and sight and sound encounters to rise above reality and convey a higher condition of cognizance to the individuals who took an interest. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is the chronicle of how this development started: with one individual, Ken Kesey, and his band of supporters, the Merry Pranksters. However, how do these pranksters relate to law and punishment as thought out by Foucault 's main observations;…

My individual self-concept is that I am independent, hard-working, organized and conscientious. I think that my upbringing and background have been extremely influential in shaping me into the person I am today. Growing up, my parents both worked full-time and were extremely hard-working and organized, which are definitely characteristics that they instilled in me. I have always been very conscious of other people’s emotions, as well as my own, and always try my best to please others.…

When Grit in case study 3 was used to find out if Grit had relationships with…

typology test to get my opinion on the reliability and validity of the test. The type indicator test I used labeled me as having a slight preference of introversion over extroversion, making up about 19% of my personality. (Humanmetrics.) The first criterion, from my point of view, fits me completely if I had to describe my…

The analysis results from the various self-assessments have afforded me the opportunity to notice hidden aspects about myself. I have been able to perform contemplative and thorough self-examinations of my personality in order to determine viable methods to enrich my overall personality. It has been my experience that organizational behavior in many ways are similar to the institutionalized behaviors exhibited by those in orphanages or prisons. The similarities reside in the fact that the…
