Paper About Being Misunderstood I don’t believe I’ve ever been misunderstood to an abnormal degree. But I do acknowledge the fact that there have been times in my life where I’ve been misunderstood more times than I would like to admit. One of the largest misunderstandings I’ve ever encountered was with a Vietnamese friend of mine. The language barrier between us really causes some issues sometimes, but most of the time he can understand what I’m saying, and I can understand what he’s saying. But we were playing a game together one day, and all of a sudden he’s asking me way too many questions that I can’t keep up with what he’s asking me, so I was trying to explain everything to him just to end up mixing up the answers to his questions in the confusion. Then there was another time when I was at a Sheetz and the lady was asking me about having a card with them or something, well I accidentally said “Yes” and she just went with it, so I’m trying to explain that I messed up, and that I don’t have a Sheetz card and she kept saying that I told her I had one when I really didn’t. …show more content…
But I do believe that if either of the two scenarios were to play out again, I think I’d handle them differently now that I’ve had time to reflect upon how I’d handle them differently than what I originally did. I also think that next time I should ensure that whenever someone is asking me something, I am paying very close attention to what they’re asking me and how I answer will probably determine how they answer my response. So while I do acknowledge that, I don’t believe that I could ever fix this problem one-hundred percent of the time, simply due to the fact that I am human and I will make mistakes and errors in judgement

In the 1943 film “Shadow of a Doubt” by Alfred Hitchcock the action in this movie is more important than any other topic. This film was a mix between action and mystery which grabs the attention of the viewer. Uncle Charlie played a big role in the mystery part of the film by hiding from the police for the kills that he committed. When uncle Charlie went to his sister’s home, no one knew that he was the killer until little charlie figured it out and helped the detectives catch him. Little charlie got her uncle to leave town so that her mother wouldn’t find out about the murders her brother committed. Uncle Charlie thought that hiding at his sister’s house and playing it off as visiting would get him away from the police and no one would know of his crimes. At the beginning of the movie when the detectives outside Charlie’s house I knew that something was going on, so it got me engaged into the movie. When the killing started being said I was sceptical, kind of thinking “no it’s someone else” but later on in the movie when everything was piecing together I knew it was uncle Charlie and it was shocking. There are many things I like about this film, which is the acting in the characters. The acting is amazing, usually in old movies the acting isn’t that great but, I feel like the
Listening to another’s point of view is a grossly under-appreciated skill of which is essential to win arguments and debates. Listening and truly understanding what another has to say allows you to exploit areas of limited knowledge, a bad argument, etc.; whereas, if all you intend to do is spew vacuous grandiloquence, you’ll never touch on their opinion, therefore heavily undermining persuasiveness.
Question 1. In the Newsweek essay “Still Learning from My Mother,” Cliff Schneider talks about life lessons he still learns from his 79-year-old mother. Schneider vividly describes his mother in her youth as being very gracious but also very competitive and great at sports. As the years go by his mom grows old and slowly realizes that she is not as physically young as she once was. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving any type of federal financial aid. The tone of the atmosphere was funny, and inspiring, because no matter how old the lady was she still wanted to tact young.
The main focus of Geoff Colvin’s, “What It Takes to Be Great”, published October 30, 2006, by Fortune, is on the importance that talent is to success. Researches were curious on,”how people were able to go on improving”, or how much is talent needed for success. They studied the best of the best in a variety of fields, such as: Michael Jordan, Winston Churchill, Vladimir Horowitz, Tiger Woods, and many more. Most people believe that talent makes someone great, but Colvin concludes, that people aren’t great through talent, but through deliberate practice. Deliberate practice involves a healthy mindset, consistency, obsessive practice, and discipline. Colvin shares,”The critical reality is that we are not hostage to some naturally given level
If this situation occurred in my future, where I was in the position of my FWE, I would strive to handle it similarly, but with a few changes in my professional reasoning practice. First, I would be more empathetic to the other person in the moment. I would try to not only understand where they are coming from in respect to their personal and professional lenses, but also understand the context of the situation in their perspective. I believe that addressing these help the situation move forward and become productive for both parties involved. I would also like to increase my emotional intelligence and pick up on other’s emotions in a quicker and more accurate manner. I believe by doing this I would be better prepared for the inevitable interpersonal

Imagine this: you are 18 years old; you and your friends are together drinking. Suddenly, one of them passes out. You are too afraid to call the cops for fear of being arrested. Because you told no one, your friend did not get treated in time, and he or she died. This is exactly what happened to Brett Finbloom's friends in "To Tell or Not to Tell". The article, “To Tell or Not to Tell” by Mary Kate Frank, is full of statistics, true stories of people's lives, how they were affected, examples, and advice of why you should tell and what could happen if you don’t. Although some teenagers of “To Tell or Not to Tell” have argued that speaking up when you think you shouldn’t can ruin friendships, closer examination shows that speaking up can save people's lives.

Thank you for allowing me to review your essay “Brilliant Ignorance”. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your essay and while I personally could not find many faults, I do hope you find the following critiques helpful as you complete your revision:
There are 3 different types of Heuristics. I decided to write about the Availability Heuristic. In the book, You Are Not So Smart by, David McRaney he explains how the availability heuristic is making a choice based on an immediate and easy example that comes to mind when evaluating a decision. Usually, this happens when you hear something from a friend or family member and immediately assume it is true without gathering any information, and just stop or continue whatever the problem was. When I was younger, I would always want dark hair. My mom at that time would not let me dye my hair. I remembered my aunt telling me that coffee was a good way to get darker hair. I quickly gathered all the materials and hid
We had to write a paragraph summarizing a situation in which you had a misunderstanding with someone. Speculate on the cause of this misunderstanding. For example, was it due to differences in interpretation of the denotative meaning of a particular word? Was it caused by the emotional impact of a word’s connotation? Or, was the
