Acquire Knowledge Analysis

The one I identified with the most was the tenth characteristic in which Lake and Baeyer talked about time management. I find that this attribute is valuable to me because of how I have used it in the past. Managing

This characteristic was scored the highest. It is due to Joe Biden. When it comes to Joe Biden, I am interested in his ideas and so am willing to read and listen attentively, even though I tend to disagree with his views. I watch him when ever he comes out on T.V. I suddenly get very interested when he talks about government regulations, So, I researched several videos and read some books on his government views. During lunch, I had several conversations with my friends about him. Ultimately, I realized that he isn't as bad as I thought he was. He actually tries try to do some good stuff for our country. Even though I tend to disagree with him at times, I do respect him and willing to listen to his views.

When society discusses the impact that people have on one another, they generally speak about the conscious decisions that people make to change another’s life. These, like all things, can be good or bad. In the movie Pay it Forward, Trevor made a choice to positively impact the lives of three people. He chose to let a homeless man stay in his house, help two people find love, and stop the abuse of a friend. In all of these actions, Trevor succeeded in making the lives of others better, even when it was to his detriment. This movie has inspired many people to make a difference in the lives of others. Similarly, there has been a story circulating the Internet recently that features a kindergartener who realized that her classmates did not have money to buy milk. She decided that she would use her own allowance to help these kids. She inspired so many that she was able to raise over $9,000 for her cause on GoFundMe. Perhaps her classmates will remember this good deed and will feel motivated to do the same when they are older. As

Politically, socially, environmentally or one person at a time, how will you give back to society? Day in and day out many citizens change the world, or they do just the opposite and make the world a worse place than when they woke up. The article I chose to review is, “Community Service” written by Robert Coles. The article tells a story of college students who make a difference in the world through peer tutoring, an act of community service, and have such an impact that they act as role models for Coles and he begins to do the same. Briefly in the beginning of the article, Coles states that, “students are likely to express their lofty political and social impulses and practical desires to change the world through community service, even if in limited or modest ways.”(Robert Coles, pg.93) We must make an ultimate decision about the world we live in, will we choose to make a difference in the lives of fellow citizens or discriminate and punish not only them but ourselves by not sharing the knowledge we have been taught.

In this portion of Sanders’s Becoming a Learner, he describes the outcomes of becoming a learner. Sanders states four outcomes of becoming a learner: creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and better character. I consider both communication skills and depth of character to be of equal importance, but for the sake of this journal, I believe the development of communication skills is most important and will have a critical impact on my career and my life. First off, let me state that I would like to pursue a career in editing, and to have any business at all, I will need to have good communication skills so I can form a trusting relationship with my clients, otherwise they may take their business elsewhere. More importantly, I intend to become a wife and a mother, and strong relationships are

The “Pay It Forward” concept developed by Trevor required that a person assist someone with a major favor. In return, the person will ask for the recipient of the favor to “pay it forward”. To pay the action forward, the person must assist three more people with a large favor. The theory is that this will cause the movement to grow exponentially and to eventually change the world. This theory is reliant on the fact that everyone who is asked to pay it forward actually

The first area I found characteristic to be important was in an organization inside Boy Scouts. The organization, Order of Arrow, is designed for the Boy Scouts who have shown extraordinary

One morning, 12-year old Craig Kielburger read in the newspaper that a boy his age had been killed for speaking out against child labor. He realized that he could have been that boy, and alerted his brother, Marc, and his classmates and friends about child labor. The brothers invested time, effort, and money to this cause by creating an organization, WE charity (we.org, Our Story). The goal was simple and direct, to help children get out of child labor, so that they can have a normal, happy childhood, and attend school. However, the Kielburger brothers soon realized that just helping kids to be able to attend school was not enough. After the children were taken out of their labor, their families did not have enough money to support themselves. As a result, children had to start working again. Craig and Marc quickly changed their goal to helping communities have easy access to fresh water, food and other necessities, so that children can go to school instead of going to fetch water, or helping to grow crops. According to their website, they also “empower people to change and improve their communities for the long term” (we.org, “Our Impact”). This means that instead of just helping a community once by taking children out of child labor, We Charity teaches members in the community how to help and support children

Society is ever changing and is only as good as the people within it. Therefore, in order to create an accepting and kind society, it’s people must accepting and kind. I contribute to my present society by volunteering in the community. As a member of Key Club, I participate in the annual Special Olympics. This past year I helped take score in the long jump event, and cheered on the Olympians, because for many of them, this one day is their favorite out of the whole year. Also, I participate in many E.A.S.T. projects, notably “The Caveman Closet.” Moreover, the closet is a place for people in the community to donate clothes and other essential items, so that low-income children can anonymously get the items they need. My personal task in the closet was organizing the placement of all the items and clothes.

On Trevor McKinney’s first day of his seventh grade year his social studies teacher, Eugene Simonet, assigned the whole class an assignment that would be something they would try to do during the whole year. The assignment was, “Think of an idea to change our World — and put it into action.” After being assigned the assignment Trevor knew what to do. He then came up with “pay-it-forwardism.” This is when one does a selfless act for three people, and then those people do the same for three more people and so on and so forth.

This public school has two dimensions: (1) educating students and (2) empowering students. Before proceeding with the educational aspect, I will address the notion of empowering. To empower students they must feel important and included in their educational process, thus the name Scholars For Knowledge. Scholar implies that students have expertise to offer that represent a valuable input to their education. For Knowledge shows that scholars are also able to recognize that there is still more to learn. This shows Scholars For Knowledge is meant to empower student and show them that the educational process is collaborative rather than authoritarian. Furthermore, I find that school brochure for high school students tend to be targeting to parent, however, the brochure for Scholar For Knowledge also wants to appeal to students thus I included a list of electives and pictures of school facilities. In following I will address the educational aspect of this school.

Inquisitiveness: I am very curious person and i always eager to understand things going on around me by asking questions, search for solutions to the problem, making inquiries from friends, colleagues, professors, books, internet to acquire knowledge and to explore possible ways of solving issues. Intellectual integrity: I like to be honest and like things to be done the normal or the standard way. I am very consistent in what i do. Intuition: I like to listen to my instinct I am most of the time right. I am also very sensitive to my surroundings and this at times helps me gain insight into problems to solve them. Open-mindedness; I am always ready to listen to others, thinks about how accurate and logical about what

By bequeathing services and assistance to the deprived and penurious individuals all around the world, their necessitous eminence subsequently enriches to more desirable conditions. As a repercussion, the world as a whole, or society will significantly be engulfed in the total quality of evolution. The mere assessment of having society’s unfortunate establish fundamental success paves way for total marginal utilization. By utilizing all of society’s significant resources such as human labor and skills, human kind are able to achieve the unthinkable, something. Moreover, donating my time at the animal shelter significantly entertained me yearning to donate more of my skills and services to other charitable contributors. Through my local church, I began to voluntarily offer a helping hand to essential food drives and retirement homes. By providing the homeless the essential nutrition, clothes and comfort they significantly require to live, the necessities of their requirements are fulfilled and are proficiently stable to enrich the world with additional human resources. As society utilizes the aggregate sources of human power, the world will commence to discover new customs of better resource conservations ultimately instigating the evolvement of human’s influence over the world. Moreover, human’s evolvement would not occur with just my assistance; however, by proving the service and gratitude towards other individuals, I happily initiated a chain reaction. Similar to the domino effect, I helped persuade other individuals to ultimately relinquish their own additional services and gratitude to further unfortunate people. Thus, proving my skills and abilities I consistently engage in with the ones who most fundamentally require, I discovered my duty to incessantly provide

It may seem quite peculiar that the 2007 “Harvard Commencement Speech” was delivered by an individual who once dropped out of the university. However, once it is established that this very individual is “Harvard's most successful dropout,” as well as founder of microsoft computers; Bill Gates certainly constitutes as qualified for the deliverance of this speech. Bill Gates “Harvard Commencement Speech” encourages the new graduates that “humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries— but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity.” Gates asserts this claim by following it with specific examples, such as delivering medicine to countries in poverty. In order to reduce the world’s hardships, Gates poses the question “how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we have.” He addresses the graduating class of Harvard using emotional appeal to ignite compassion within the graduates, logic and reasoning to provide attainable solutions to reduce the world's inequities, and strives to establish his personal credibility in order to support the claim that the purpose of discoveries is not for personal knowledge or self improvement, but rather for the world’s betterment.
