Things She Said

“Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer”, a quote once said by Rich Pitino. This quote is completely true, after reviewing my overall performance I spotted that I do have some improving to do. However, I also have some things that I feel that I did pretty well on. In this self-evaluation, I will be thoroughly discussing and elaborating my performance. As I overlooked the midterm video, I felt like I did well throughout the entire performance. In the tendu sequence, I used my scapular support. Especially when I had to tendu and degage, I made sure that my body was lifted. As I observed myself doing this sequence, I saw that I wasn’t hunched over and my shoulders were squared. In the floor-warm…

decides to help T.J. after all he had done; I believe that she was admirable for everything that she did but this was about friendship and kindness and those are really admirable things. Cassie had trouble in her life, being black, but she stayed strong and held on to what meant most, her feelings. She wasn’t afraid to express herself or her opinion. I learn this from the Strawberry incident when she yelled at Mr. Barnett and got shoved on the sidewalk by Mr. Simms. (Add a few words here to let…

commitment to and excitement for the shared vision (Senge, 2013). Moreover, team learning (Senge) cultivated by an effective leader encourages dialogue within the organization to foster teamwork and create trusting relationships (Tschannen-Moran, 2013) and serves as an opportunity for cooperative learning, which also builds interdependence and trust among all members of the organization (Senge, 2013). Also, an effective leader views reflection as a part of his or her daily and weekly routines…

Compare & Contrast Essay (Rough Draft) To many people, the word “other” means not this one, but that one; or the alternative one not the same one. It also has a much larger definition that can be more relevant to a person or a place. Different or distinct from the one or ones already mentioned or implied, and a group or a member of a group that is perceived as different, foreign, strange, etc. These last two definitions are more accurate definitions of this study.

Major Kenneth Johnson recently took over command of the 10th Logistics Readiness Squadron. Each new commander focuses on bringing something unique to the team and has the ability to guide it effectively towards the realization of its objectives. If a leader lacks that particular uniqueness or extends something valuable to those he leads, then he can only be considered to be a leader on the basis of the position that he or she holds. The concept of leadership has been defined from different…

Along with this, they would help me with the skills that I would personally have trouble with. I strongly believe that humor is also a big part in being a leader as well due to the fact that not everything should be taken too seriously. There should also be fun put into what you are doing because in certain situations, you need to laugh things off so it won’t turn out to be an awkward situation. Humor brings some of the best memories into things and that is what makes tasks and roles to be…

Orientalism is a term which indicates how the West perceives the East as the ‘other’. Edward Said published his controversial book Orientalism in 1978, which talks about how Orientalism forms an inferior Orient, in terms of knowledge and domination.

The Orient played a significant role in the creation of the European culture and it…

The literature(s) of the colonists: In addition to the post-colonial literature of the colonized, there exists as well the postcolonial literature of the colonizers. As people of British heritage moved into new landscapes, established new founding national myths, and struggled to define their own national literature against the force and tradition of the British tradition, they themselves, although of British or European heritage, ultimately encountered the originating traditions as…

Moreover, he lists a number of aims adopted by the postcolonial criticism: initially, to reconsider the perspective of the colonised in the colonial historiography; secondly, to assess the impacts of colonialism political, economical, or cultural, and on the two sides: coloniser and colonised; and principally, to examine the process of decolonisation. Postcolonial criticism’s origins can be traced to Said’s Orientalism according to Milner and Browitt (2002). Said portrays the Eurocentric…

of institutional racism, the subconscious racist nature of the English language and the stains that the time of imperialism has left on the British mentality. To gather Rushdie’s main thesis, one need only to look at the title: “The New Empire within Britain”. Rushdie states: “It sometimes seems that the British authorities, no longer capable of exporting governments, have chosen instead to import a new empire, a new community of subject peoples to whom they think, and with whom they can deal in…
