I am a 21-year-old adult from Chengdu where the Panda comes from. It is located at the middle of China surrounding by mountains. My hometown is a relaxing city where people more value eating tasty foods, having fun and relaxing more than working. You have to go there, but if you have been there, go again. It is beautiful city and inexpensive lifestyle. I have an English name called Jonathan. It comes from my teacher and good friend in high school, Dr. Jonathan Woodward. I worked at China…

Systems thinking (ST) is a concept to understand how a complex system (e.g. health management) functions as a whole by examining how the components (subsystems) of the entire system are connected and interact dynamically instead of as individual stakeholders. Historically, ST was developed and used by various disciplines in the twentieth century to transfer methods across disciplines known as interdisciplinary (Peters, 2014). Multiple disciplines can collaborate about methods and conceptual…

informatics, patient-centered care, and teamwork and collaboration” (Dolansky & Moore, 2013, p. 2). Systems thinking relates to an individual’s environment to his or her behavior (Dolansky & Moore, 2013). Teaching systems thinking to students is advantageous to their success in the program and clinical practice. Critical thinking skills and knowledge are connected to system thinking.

I have a mentor and former professor named Kimberly Mitchell that always reminds her students that in the classroom, whoever is doing the talking is doing the thinking. She runs a start-up that focuses on integrating inquiry into the classroom by looking at the statistics of that same notion; by recording and analyzing the time the teacher and the students spend talking in a classroom, she argues educators can get a better glimpse into how their students are receiving the lessons they plan. My…

the talent of cultural interpretation. Also, I improved my ability of critical thinking and analytical skills in the process of critiquing the artworks. Analytical thoughts involved in critiquing artworks are no less than solving a complex mathematics problem; I must take consideration on the social background of the time period. Studying art history does not confine my career choice to only a few; the analytical thinking and intercultural knowledge are transferable skills that are applicable to…

Module 1 Controversial Topics: Questioning Concepts & Impediments In a supplemental guide to your Nosich text, the critical thinking scholars explain that concepts are “ideas we use in thinking. They enable us to group things in our experience in different categories, classes, or divisions. They are the basis of labels we give things in our minds. They represent our mental map of the world telling us how things operate and what to expect of them. Through our concepts we define situations,…

most positive, life-changing experiences I have ever had. Not only did it give me a profession that I later became obsessed with, but it also served as a strong foundation for my professional and personal growth. I learned creative and innovative thinking from my mentor, whose inventiveness I admire to this day. This experience inspired my recent obsession in culinary art photography. I particularly like the visual impact when all ingredients came together, and food plating reminds me of…

both eyes to see things, so one eye can compensate for the other eye’s blind spot. Usually, the light falls at blind spot of one eye will not fall on blind spot of another. The purpose of this experiment is that it is possible for us to identify and map the blind spot of our eyes. From the demonstrations of the existence of blind spot, we would probably surprise at how large is the blind spot because it covers a large part of the visual field. If we move our head around, our blind spot will…

school I felt like I was not keeping up with the things that were changing around me in the work place and academia. Educational Goals and Career Goals Setting goals are the most important thing that a person can do. I really feel like without a road map or GPS a person cannot reach a destination. Educational goals and Career goals are the same way. The GPS in educational goals are the syllabus and the course curriculum. Me as a student must navigate my way thru the classes to achieve…
