Character Analysis: The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens

Sean Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is intended as a guide to help teens improve themselves and become successful in life. Its primary focuses are how to take control of your life, set and achieve goals, build friendships, maintain quality relationships, withstand peer pressure, and improve self-image. It consists of seven habits- Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the saw. These habits are each designed to help you lead your best life. From this book, I have learned to take care of and love myself, maintain healthy relationships with others, work towards my goals, and resist anything that could potentially harm me or prevent me from doing these things.

Over the summer, I read a book titled, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Convey. The seven habits described in this book were being proactive, Beginning with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize, and sharpen the saw. The first habit Being proactive means not to make choices on impulse. it means to evaluate the situation before making a desicion. for example, two years ago when i had friends that talked behind my back i just moved on and found better friends rather than be mean to them or excluding them out of my way. The second habit Beginning with the end in mind means to think ahead at what your goals are and start working towards them. My goal for the eight grade year was to recieve a 95% or higher score in all of my classes. in order to realize this goal i worked hard through the year on assignments and and sometimes did more than what was expected of me during projects. in the end, though,

Watson uses the rhetorical appeal of ethos and pathos to convince her audience to fight against gender inequality by joining her campaign, HeForShe.

Watson comes around and alters that mentality that only a man could successfully do this job but also doing the job without the use of tools. Her presence completely alters the order that the men she worked with were used to which only fueled the hatred for her and the discrimination she experienced. During this time period, handywork such as cleaning, cooking, or sewing was considered a woman’s job. When tools or machinery are involved the whole dynamic is changed into a man’s job. There were so many expectations as to how women should act or what jobs they should have. In Jamaica Kincaid’s short story “Girl,” readers are bombarded with a list of demands that are meant for a young woman. “Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; cook pumpkin fritters in very hot sweet oil; this is how to sew on a button; this is how you iron your father’s khaki pants so that they don’t have a crease” (Kincaid 306).  It wasn’t until during/after the first World War that women began getting positions in the workforce due to the lack of men who were not on the battlefield. More and more women would get hired into the workforce because they would get paid lower wages than men. In “Girl,” whenever the young woman did something that the speaker did not approve of she was considered a slut. Just like whenever women tried to take

Feminism, what is it? And how does it affect our society today? Feminist Emma Watson’s moving speech ‘Gender equality is your issue to’ tells us feminism isn't just a thought, it’s a true problem. Feminism is a topic known to many, but rejected by most of society. Watson shows her audience true emotion (Pathos), dedication, and love throughout her speech. She gives a clear aspect of feminism, making her listeners engaged into the topic, wanting to know more (Logos). She invites others into her ideas to ensure that she does not stand alone in this feminist movement (Ethos). Emma Watson is a true feminist trying to make a difference, persuading the audience, pouring her heart out, and believing in the world to join her in her free community.

Women and men are choosing not to be known as a feminist. Women fear of being called a “man hater”, whereas men fear of being called “weak”. Women can easily say they are all for “girl power” and vice versa with men, but can they comprehend why it is so important. Non-feminist and feminist do not understand that women's liberation begins at the acknowledgement of inequality between genders. Emma Watson's speech “he for she”, explains how both genders are fearful of ambition since, ambitions is needed to help fulfill the opportunities of any task. The definition of feminism is explained as “men and woman should have equal rights and opportunities”. Watson explains how the support of men and boys will greatly improve the gender equality dilemma. Women are characterized in the defilement of feminism just as much as men, maybe even more. The male species has had the upper hand for centuries. It may seem different for them to share the “thrown” but in good time it will benefit all. Men will not have to worry about being emotional or strong when need be. They will not be characterized for being a stay at home father for his children. Women will be able to make the same income as men and will be eligible for the same position. In good time all will be equal, all will be

In the month of September a very well know movie star by the name of Emma Watson did something big for all women and girls around the world. She had decided to start a solidarity campaign for gender equality initiated by UN Women. Its goal is to attract men and boys as representative of change for the achievement of gender equality and women's rights, by encouraging them to take action against negative inequalities faced by women and girls. Her first plan of action was to give a speech to get anyones and everyones attention. At the time she actually gave the speech that was called ¨heforshe¨ there was a large amount of misunderstanding and incorrect usage of the word feminism.

When looking Southern’s video the aimed to destroy feminism and the stigma attached to third wave feminism is a clear motive. Southern starts her video with a strong but intimidating rhetorical question “If feminism is a movement for equality why don’t we see squad representation of both genders issues?”. This not only shocks the audience but also intrigues them explore the antifeminist argument. Watson’s transcript explores and expresses the unfair stereotypes that females and males have to endure on a frequent basis. Watson uses rhetorical questions in her speech “In a country that has achieved marriage equality, shouldn’t gender equality be next?’“. As the rhetorical question was stated at the end of the transcript it is a powerful solid

In the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey brings 7 key things teens need to live a productive, open, and successful life to the table. Covey took 7 concepts teens are hesitant to tap into and made them easy to understand and adapt to. He manages to capture his audiences attention by sharing stories of other teens that we could easily relate to. Although each aspect of the habits were relatable to each aspect of my life, I was most engaged with habits 2:Begin with the end in mind, 3:Put First Things First, and Habit 4:Think Win-Win.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a book authored by Sean Covey. It was in the year 2001 the Indonesian version of the book first published in Indonesia. Sean Covey’s father, Stephen Covey, is well-known for authoring his international bestseller book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 8th Habit: from Effectiveness to Greatness, and many other popular self helping books. Sean Covey himself writes other several self helping books as well.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a modified version of his father’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Unlike Stephen Covey, who wrote his book with the audience of adults in mind, his son’s book is targeted towards teens. “ Covey avoids the academic writing style that one will find in Stephen’s and delivers the seven habits model in an easy to read, humorous style that does not lose any of the impact of the seven habits” (Change Management Coach). Being both entertaining and visually appealing, Covey goes deep into the seven habits while adding life experiences of both him and family. Included are also the stories of teens around the country. Each habit builds upon the next; therefore you cannot have habit two and three without habit one. Although together, the habits makeup an effective teen, separately, they each help in different ways, mentally and socially.

Watson recalls a time from when faced the unsatisfactory of assumptions of young women, when she said “at age [fourteen] I started being sexualized by certain elements of the press” also when her peers began to submit towards the societal intimidation which placed upon them saying, according to Watson, “When at [fifteen] my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly.”” Watson shared these illustrations to allow her audience to be familiar with someone who has been a target to gender inequality. Without seeing the matter of gender inequality, the problem can be very blind at times; without actually viewing it through the human experiences, it can be lost to statistics and generalizations. Personifying the matter allows it to strengthen the sympathy and compassion from the audience to be felt for the speaker.

“Procrastination is a common form of self-regulatory failure with substantive connections” where the tendency is to put off tasks. (Steel, Farrari, 2013)

She's a really contemporary female, particularly for the 1950s. She brought her California design to the university and it is incredibly enthusiastic about each arts as well as the pupils of her. Watson thinks which the pupils of her are bright and young and may do a lot with the day of theirs. The cultural conformity they are supposed to be to focuses on after matrimony for females. Although an extremely good connect is produced in between the mentor as well as pupils, Watson's perceptions are actually. very contemporary as well as incompatible together with the primary society of this university.

What mainly gave rise to Watson addressing this topic was her emotions attached to the burdens people have felt because of gender inequality. Watson used pathos, an appeal to emotion, to grasp the audience’s attention. Watson provides examples of events in her own life such as, “When at 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media,” which has helped spark her interest in taking steps to end gender inequality (Watson). Watson provided numerous examples of other women, “When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear muscly,” as well as examples of males (Watson). Watson recognizes the fact that men are typically less likely to join in the fight for gender equality. In order for Watson to later “invite” men to join the
