Independence is always a key component to self-learning and a way to become a protagonist. Once something becomes a problem, it is in our mind that we must fix the issue before it becomes even more of an issue. We must learn to overcome any obstacles that may arise when it comes to learning because it is necessary to overcome obstacles in our life as well. If it is hard to deal with stress, then it is most likely going to be hard to be motivated and complacency may settle in as it becomes easy…

The person I chose to interview is my close friend, Jessica, who I view as a sister even. We are very close with one another and we spend a lot of time together and support one another. Process 1. Interview your partner to discover how your words and deeds influence his or her self-concept. Identify specific incidents to illustrate these influences, and discuss which specific parts of the self-concept you have affected. One way that I had an influence on her self-concepts is that I noticed…

Deborah Brandt says sponsors “are any agents, local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, model, as well as recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy—and gain advantage by it in some way” (166). Bob Gibson didn’t become a full-time teacher until he was in his mid-40s, and his experiences on that career path highlight both the benefits and the hindrances a sponsor can provide. Those experiences also demonstrate how integral a mixture of positive and negative…

Intake Form Critique I chose to critique the intake form that is utilized at my current job Third Way Center, as an opportunity to gain a better understanding of my agency’s intake process. Third Way Center is a treatment facility for at-risk youth who experience mental illness, homelessness or have undergone trauma. My position as a mental health counselor does not require me to conduct intake interviews with my clients, so I am very curious about the intake process. Usually it is the…

With today’s society become more and more opinionated on one’s own personal values and morals, it has now caused people to become very ethnocentric. Also, with many things persuading us to stand up and support our personal opinions, we as humans tend to become narrow minded and not welcome anyone else’s views without being judgemental right away. I think I can say that everyone has gone through this at least one time in their lifespan. Sometime in their life where they automatically closed off…

1. Evaluation of jobs, not persons Job evaluation is a systematic way of valuing a job in relation to the other positions in a company. It systematically compares jobs to establish their value for the purposes of determining the rational pay. Job evaluation should not be confused with job appraisal. Job appraisal is documentation and evaluation an employee’s job performance (Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan, 2009). In this case, Ted was justified in insisting that they evaluate the job and not the…

Throughout history, the human species have not always been able to read or write. One thing humans have always understood are pictures. The cavemen painted on walls in order to document and tell the stories of their lives. In the more modern era, books, especially for children, are filled with pictures in order to help convey the ideas of the writer to all who read his books. This idea of pictures to help support book is shown very well in Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s book Days of Destruction…

Ads on Perfection. Ads have been around for many years. Only recently have people noticed the effect that ads have on women and men. Besides their original intention to spread awareness of a product or celebrity, ads also have a hidden message.

Because of this, ads need to change the images and message they are…

FIT’s goals of academic and creative excellence, its innovation center, and its empowering student community would best nurture my skills and allow me to achieve my future goals in the fashion industry. I intend for my brand to become not only a staple in the fashion industry, but the quintessential byproduct of effort, determination, and a “can-do” attitude. In this way and more, I intend to transform the fashion industry, and much of this is conditioned by my commitment to philanthropy. I look…
