Word of mouth

For this assignment, I interviewed Felicia Low, a Program Advisor at the School of Public Health. This interview taught me a lot about myself and my interpersonal communication skills when it comes to communication on a one-on-one basis. Prior to the interview, I was a bit nervous since I did not know Mrs. Low personally and never communicated with her face-to-face. I prepared to conduct the interview in a way that it would feel like a normal conversation and not a regular interview. For…

question, are we digging deep enough? Jesus says, As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away… As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in…

result, I came to believe that the world is safe and that all people can be trusted. I developed positive thought, emotional (happy and content), and behavioral patterns, such as asking people questions if I ever needed advice, for example. In other words, my thought patterns led me to say, “If I ask for help, I will receive it.” However, I also believe that I’m an unworthy person, for…

overwhelmingly positive or negative reaction to physician-assisted suicide. Out of the 20 people that I surveyed, 75% of them knew what physician-assisted suicide was. When I asked for the first word that came to mind when thinking of physician-assisted suicide I was surprised at the amount of reassuring words I received. Answers were ranging from compassion, relief, and peace, to death being the most common reoccurring negative interpretation. One of the main observations that I made was people…

It is important for a teacher to know their student’s likes and dislikes. This is a tremendous way to help your students grow and reach their full potential. The more educated you are on your students, the easier it is for you as a teacher. During my read aloud, I had a tough time choosing a book for my students because all their genre interest differed. This made it very challenging to choose a book, which complemented all the student’s interest. Ages and stages were my referral resource, in…

Narcissism because it asks questions that have the characteristics of someone with narcissism. For instance, a narcissistic has an inflated perception of themselves, they believe they are better than everyone, others problems do not interest them, in other words they are vain and it is all about them. These questions will be able to demonstrate that. Narcissistic trait best fits with extroversion in the Big 5 because people who are extroverted tend to be more outgoing and when in a group of…

In my last AGPP class on December 13th I co-kept a circle with Professor Lukens. Prof. Lukens and I met twice before the circle to review the opening, questions, and closing of the circle. She had a talking piece picked out and we borrowed a piece of cloth to use as a centerpiece. Using some notes from the training I attended with Kay Pranis, I created a handout with a description of what a balanced circle looks like (i.e. getting acquainted, building relationships, addressing issues, developing…

Every since a very young age, I'll I've ever known is football, more importantly Minnesota Vikings football. My dad is maybe the biggest fan there is, every Sunday, Monday or Thursday game, he's watching. Always cheering or yelling. That’s a big one, he yells like the referees can hear him. I could never have friends over on Sundays because of the yelling. Even though football has been around me for so long I never really understood the game. I tried multiple times to understand, but it just…

It’s amazing how short it took to complete the long-census form. Thirty minutes, one siting and a cup of coffee to stay focus. It’s quiet a simple task to fill out the survey because the questions were straightforward and the examples for each question answered all the misconceptions I had if any about each question; however, what exactly is the long-form census and what is it used for? In my experience the long-form census is a survey used to collect data from the people of the country. The…
