Board Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

For chemistry, I choose a argumentative white board because I had to work with a team to succeed it is all a lab analysis and other lab groups made their own critics toward the presentations.I had to acquire information to solve my problem.I over came this assignment by taking many procedures to accomplish and then argued my evidence to argue with other teams.This also helped improve quality of the work that was expected.If I were to redo this assignment,I would put in more in for information on the

Lastly it would be important for me to make sure children can use the materials and resources on their own to encourage independence but also ensure the items can be used in a group. This will encourage children to collaborate

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

Joseph F. Healy in Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class speaks towards the end of the Chapter 5 about institutional discrimination and in turn about affirmative action. Affirmative action being a set of policies and actions which favors certain groups and minorities who have suffered discrimination based on their minority status in the past, this favoritism usually comes into play in relation in employment and education. It is also described in some cases as being “positive discrimination”. Affirmative action was implemented in the 1960’s and 70’s and remains a hot button issue since its implementation and I am personally of the belief that race based affirmative action in university settings in particular is counterproductive and serves no real

I fully understand your schedule is committed with work, the Coordinating Board, Politics and personal. I will keep you updated on how everything is trending, and thank you for the introduction. Texas depends on the work and support from individual like you.

During the first few workstations, I worked with Bridie one-on-one. While I was working with her, she would cough and sneeze without covering her mouth. When this would occur, I would state to Bridie, “Cover your mouth.” Bridie does put her fingers and hands in her mouth and nose, which she is directed to do the following: “Go wash your hands” or “Put on sanitizer”. To prevent other students and staff members from getting sick, Bridie was directed to clean her hands. Sometimes, she would refuse or start to whine, but was redirected to complete the teacher directed task without whining. The health of Birdie, health of the students, and the health of the staff members is imperative and is always a top priority in the classroom. (Standard 4)

I seem to be having issues submitting my revised paper onto Black Board? It seems that since I have already submitted my first book review, Blackboard will not permit another submission? I wanted to thank you for the revisions on my book report. Hopefully, with the corrections made, the final product is what we discussed.

During this week three things I learned were that I learned how to set up the Blackboard Collaborate Discussion, I learned more about certain myths, and I got to learn in depth what this whole class was going to be about.  Even though I took a long while to figure out and download the BB Collaborate Discussion, I managed to get it done and know how to use it. During our class discussion I also got to learn about different myths I didn't know about like the Pandora's Box and  The Willow O' the Wisp. These were two very different myths that I got to learn about and found pretty interesting. Also I was able to hear the recording of the BBC discussion and be able to learn more about Mythology and the five common traits.

What i learned throughout the past weeks about my stocks is I learned that I have to spend my money more wisely throughout the whole entire week that we had this project. I think the most important lesson I learned about these last 8 weeks is that I should have bought and sell more stocks I think if I would have done that I would have gained more money through the long run it would have made it more interesting because if I would have bought and sold more. I would have learned the lesson not to do it again in case I lost a huge profit. What I also learned about this project is that I might go into the stock market one day and see how I do to see if gain actual money or if I lose money because it's actually a good thing to invest in because you could potentially gain profit from it rather than just saving money and you could also double your money from saving and the stock market.

The idea of technology taking over the world has been popular amongst TV shows, including a show called Black Mirror which was released on Netflix in 2011. In the show’s episode, “White Christmas”, two men, who worked together, start to talk about their pasts, specifically their hamartias. One of the men, Matt, shares his story of how he would help males get dates by using technology to see and hear what these men do. He watched one of his “clients” die from a female drugging him. The second job Matt spoke about was of a new technology he placed in homes that allowed a person to take a piece of him/herself and put it into a pod, called a Cookie, that would allow a mental copy of themselves to take care of all of their needs in life. The second man, Joe, told his own story before coming to work with Matt. His story consists of him falling in love with a woman, her getting pregnant, and then she blocks him, which also blocks the baby. He becomes obsessed with trying to see the child. After his ex love interest dies in a fatal accident, he was unblocked from the child, but then later learned the child was not his. In a rage, he killed the child's new caretaker, her grandfather, and left her alone to die. Through telling the story, Joe admits to the crime he committed, and then it is revealed that Matt is using the technology, from his second job, to get Joe to admit to the crime, while Matt also pays for his crime using surveillance and was blocked by everyone in society.

On Friday, September 8th, I attended a violin and piano recital performed by Dr. Khachatryan on piano and his wife, Mrs. Neglia-Khachatryan on violin. Together they performed three pieces, two of which being sonatas and containing individual movements. Violin and Piano Sonata, No. 6 in A Major Op. 30 No. 1, composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven had 4 movements. Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor Op. 108, composed by Johannes Brahms. They finished the recital with a piece by Franz Schubert called Fantasy in C Major for Violin and Piano D. 934.

Everything was progressing smoothly as my fingers traversed the terrain of my upright piano until, inevitably, an all too familiar, jarring chord rang from its core. Although I wanted nothing more than to disregard my repeated blunder and never look back, I knew that this “strategy” would fall short when I performed the piece for my teacher the following day. So with perseverance, focus, and fear of a disapproving glare, I managed to play it through faultlessly. Now all that remained was the small task of playing the piece an additional four times in a row with that same impeccable accuracy. Upon realizing the amount of work ahead of me, I mentally kicked myself for not starting sooner and lengthened my timer from the remaining twelve minutes to another thirty. It was time to woodshed this until I got it right every time.

Four preliminary questions are useful to frame philosophical analysis of introspection. First, in what does introspection consist? In general terms, introspection is a way to recognize, to learn or to be aware of our own current and recently past mental states and processes, and to self-attribute those states and processes. As opposed to retrospection—the reflection of strictly past events and experiences—introspection focuses on concurrent states and processes as they happen in our mind or occur in the stream of consciousness, and enables us to describe and report our thoughts and experiences—it does not imply that some dose of short-term memory is not necessary for introspecting though.
