The movie I chose for this paper was, The Matrix. While watching this movie not only did the special effects and fight scenes interest me and make me think it was a good movie, but, additionally I noticed a lot of philosophical parallels. It's easy to see that The Matrix is based off of Plato's allegory, the cave. The cave is about a prison that people are trapped in and can't get out, they are seeing these images and shadows in front of them, but they are not aware that the real images are…
The assumptions of andragogy contrast sharply with the assumptions of pedagogy, which are that learners are dependent personalities who bring little or no experience to the educational activity and learners attend to such activities because they have been told they need to do so. The subject matter is sequenced logically and centered on the subject versus personal learner needs, and the motivation to learn the subject matter is mostly external, such as from parents, teachers, or…
Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory and Personalities In order to better understand someone’s personality, we must first take a look at their behaviors, how they react and what is driving those behaviors. According to John B. Watson, the “goal of psychology is the prediction and control of behavior and that goal could best be reached by limiting psychology to an objective study of habits formed through stimulus-response connections” (Feist, G., Feist, J., Roberts, p. 452) (2013). Behavior can be…

successfully pursued his mentor, Socrates, as his dialogues and writings became well known in society today. The cave in this excerpt can be interpreted into many many ideas. Based on “Allegory of the Cave,” the cave in the passage represents lack of knowledge (lecture 2015) since the prisoners believed that the shadows of objects were the true form. Moreover, my cave would be my parents and their perspective on appearance like tattoos, clothing style, etc. and cultural stereotypes on…
The activity that I chose to do with the second grade students was an activity the measured their ability of moderate and vigorous, but also their ability of memorizing the centers they had to chose once they got tag by a classmate. For some, the activity was easy for them because the centers were color coordinated with signs. The students that were not at the second grade level development had challenges remembering the centers. The five students were engaged in the activity and trying their…
Description of the content This course will provide participants with techniques and skills to enhance their knowledge and skillset related to diversity training. Diversity is a topic that is very hard to discuss, and at times individuals are not willing to engage in conversations with others who may have a different culture or background than themselves. I would like to increase participants’ knowledge of cultural competence. What (specifically) do you expect to benefit from redesigning…
After taking the LCI, I've determined I am a "Strong Willed Learner." This means that I use three or more of my patterns at the Use First level. The report states that "I prefer to work alone so that I can control the plan, the ideas, the talk, the decisions, the process and the outcomes." I can see this is my daily routines. I am a prek teacher and with it, I like to do things "my way". I have an assistant and I take in her thoughts and opinions about a certain topic, but I feel I know how each…
