Twin study

Learning something new has always been frightening to me. I’ve only learned in a traditional classroom setting, so I knew online learning would take discipline. Through the years, family and close friends would encourage me to go back to school to finish my degree, but I never could fit school into my hectic schedule. After talking with my classmate, I began to visualize how important it was to finish my four year degree. I decided to submit the application and all the necessary documents to…

In the classroom, you have many things that can help you faster. Such as an instructor/ teacher, other students, and also you can learn from others with the help and different ways of doing and thinking things. Online however, is better to me because you have to force yourself to read, do homework, and make sure you have the right management. Where in school you may not have to work as hard because there are others around and some people like myself can get easily distracted. At home on the…

art practices as reference points, the concepts of ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture and whether they’re culturally constructed will be explored. Context plays a very large part in determining whether something is considered ‘high’ or ‘low’ culture. In a study based in the Papua New Guinean village of Gapun, it was discovered, through the villagers’ interpretation of a Rambo film, that no text has a one universal meaning (Kulick & Willson, 1994). This concept is relevant beyond juxtaposed cultures; it…

My type is ISTJ (introvert, sensor, thinker, and judger). After I completed the verifier at first I felt that the results were accurate, but one or two things were off. As I learned more about my type I realized that they were spot on with the type that they gave me. I am able to relate to the five potential strengths for my type. The first one is being dependable and responsible. I grew up being aware of these two strengths for example, when I lived in Alaska I demonstrated these strengths a…

Atrocities of patriarchy has long been a way of life for many households throughout history, yet in today’s culture, both men and women can become the head of house, so to speak. This has overthrown the patriarchy system into a whirlwind loop since women have become more independent and no longer depend on men to aid them in financial burdens, child raising, and employment ventures. Additionally, the new generation of American society has other factors that play roles in the patriarchy system.…

The fundamental element for any organization is its structure. When an organization lacks an efficient organizational structure, then disarray will be run rampant throughout the organization and the project’s initiated by the members lack adequate quality. KLRN demonstrates these symptoms from their lack of an official practicing organizational structure. The organization practices a lackadaisical procedure without any significant guidelines as to how the organization conducts meetings, projects…

In response to the increase diversity of the student population and the increase of second-language students in writing programs, CCCC urges writing programs and teachers to recognize the increasing presence of these students and “to understand their characteristics, and to develop instructional and administrative…

literature. However, though both men and women have been represented throughout literature there is a clear commentary thread on the roles of women in society. This “thread” has taken a name: feminist criticism. Due to the diverse array of feminist studies, many feminist critics hesitate to propose a general…

Gender is learnt through socialisation as part of the rules and conventions shared by a culture to generate meaning. Many of the rules and conventions that dominate Western society emphasis dichotomies, good or bad, black or white, and gender: masculinity or femininity (Beck, 1998). Masculinity and femininity as separate and distinct gender identities are constructed through the performance of and repetition of ‘gendered’ acts. Over time gendered performances have become embedded in the…

psychology courses that are essential to my graduation. Learning will not take place in the classroom only; Budapest’s history goes back hundreds of years, although often disregarded in the typical history book. This led me to choose Budapest as a study abroad location as it is a city off the beaten path. I have a desire to learn about all cultures, and Central Europe is a region I have yet to explore. A semester long program appealed to me over a full year program because I will be graduating…
