Egan And Schroeder: Chapter Analysis

Chapter 21 of Everyone's An Author with Readings (Andrea Lunsford et al.) focuses on the synthetization of ideas from the author and the referenced work. The sources should be properly cited and tie into your argument or idea. In research based areas it's important to have sources that are able to support your stance. The sources can be from the same viewpoint or from another view. The origin of the sources should be credible in their area of expertise or from a credible source. By balancing both the stated argument can be improved. The chapter then gives an example of a Synthesis. War, Cartoons, and Society: Changes in Political Cartoons between World War II and the Iraq War by Julia Landauer is an essay from her second year writing course at Stanford University. It first starts by referencing a relative cartoon then tying it into the effects and uses of such cartoons. However, the chapter cuts it off as the essay starts to bring out the main questions it's analyzing.

Gerard Egan’s 3 Stage Skilled Helper Mode 1994, provides a basic guideline on how helping relationships should be carried out. It is important that helpers take into consideration the steps provided in the Egan’s mode as it provides structure and positive support to clients.

Empowering the person to make his own decisions about the strategies he wants to use in order to overcome the obstacles in his life is the core of the final stage of the skilled helping model. In this stage the person should think about setting targets for himself that he is comfortable with. If the counsellor disempower him by setting the targets without consulting the individual that can possess a barrier of resistance and no progress will

By being aware of the essential communication skills, I believe it does not only make me a better helper but also a better friend and listener. In this paper I will discuss about my personal experience as a helper during a counselling session and also reflect on what I have learnt during the previous 10 weeks in the classroom.

In this chapter, Roach thinks of Hugh Patterson, as she also thinks about how Patterson will continue to teach even when dead. Roach supports this idea and wants to be presented for educational purposes once she passes away. She wants to become an educational skeleton and donate her body to be aesthetically pleasing. She calls the University of New Mexico Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, which is a place that accepts donated bodies for educational skeletons. She then is given a choice of watching a "cut down" or a "pour off." A cut down cuts away the flesh and a pour off dissolves flesh by boiling it. Since Roach doesn’t want to live in New Mexico the rest of her life, and because of other reasons, she declines both of these choices and the

We’ve all created many memories with our fellow brothers over the years, and Lee O’Connor ’76 recently shared a few of his favorite ones from his days at Rockledge. Although his initiation to the chapter was certainly not standard, he was welcomed with open arms and quickly bonded with the brothers. “One of the special parts of living at Rockledge was moving into a house with 30 new people, all with very different backgrounds, getting to know them, and building lifelong bonds and memories,” he said. Lee (known to the brothers as Sarge) said that he received a bid to join the Iota chapter when he was a freshman, even though he didn’t really attend any rush events. He never responded to his bid that year, but decided to show up the next fall. “I just

The chapter titled “Every Trip is a Quest” peaked my curiosity, the meaning behind the chapter name led me to a realization which had not occurred in my head before. Foster gives an interesting take on the daily like tasks and issues that we go through every day. He gives a very short, but descriptive made up event, in which a guy named Kip faces his own hardships and accomplishes his true mission. These sample paragraphs were my favorites, in this order

Writing a book about police innovation for various problems, Skolnick and Bayley writes talks about HPD in chapter four. The chapter first introduced to the reader that HPD had a scandalous reputation. After misdeeds after misdeeds, HPD introduced two innovations to solve its problems with the community. From there Skolnick and Bayley detailed HPD’s DART (Directed Area Responsibility Team) program and DART storefronts (community police stations). However, at the end of the chapter, they seemed skeptical when it came to whether or not positive change occurred due to the two initiatives.

Spencer Morgan and Dieter Hedrick, American and German respectively, are both young men that are eager to get into the action of World War II. Hedrick is a member of the Hitler youth movement and had actually met Hitler himself. Now he is more determined than ever to make it to the front lines and defend Germany. Morgan is only 16 and has to convince his father to sign his enlistment forms so he can become a paratrooper, some of the toughest soldiers on either side of the battlefield. He is motivated by trying to prove everyone he is more than just some nerd and wants to see the look on everyone’s face when he returns a paratrooper.

The first section of reading assigned for this reflection was from Difficult Conversations by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen. The first chapter discussed blame and how to avoid it in difficult, or any, conversations. The authors made it very clear that one must be able to differentiate between blame and contribution. The main difference between the two is that blame is judging the other person and their actions and contribution in understanding the impact both parties had on the situation (Stone, Patton, Heen 2010). In a difficult conversation, both people involved have contributed, big or small, to the issue. Identifying your own role can be difficult because that means self-evaluation and accepting responsibility must occur. If the contribution conversation is not had, blame is the first place most go to. This can be very detrimental to a conversation because it does not allow the problem to be solved. One party will become defensive if they feel blamed and they will shut down. The outcome of one party shutting down

In chapter 8 of the McCloud reading, the book discusses the issues that Muslim immigrants deal with when they move to the western world. The first problem they state is the assimilation and how to integrate their cultural traditions in the western society. Since Muslims are a minority in the western society, we see Muslims are unable to embrace their full culture. Also, there are people who do not accept the different traditions of minorities. Unfortunately, these issues can lead to discrimination and abuse which is also known as Islamophobia. Muslims are treated as second-class citizens in the western society which causes daily challenges to Muslim individuals.

The introduction to this chapter was an enjoyable read. When reading the introduction, the reader can visualize everything that is happening in their head. The introduction passage is a story of a teacher, Mrs. Firpo, and how she goes about teaching a phonics lesson. There are even examples that the reader can follow along with throughout the introduction as if they were in the actual class watching Mrs. Firpo teach the lesson.

These stages outlines what the client needs to do in order to manage a problem or develop an opportunity, clients don`t always take one step after another they can move back and forth in the stages. The stages are not always sequential they are stepping stones towards the accomplishment of reaching a goal. Working with Gerald Egan the Skilled Helper Model also allows the client to moves forwards as each stage consist of specific skills that will assist, also it encourages clients to become active interpreters of the world around them, the Skilled Helper Model gives meaning to action, event and situations by facing and overcoming challenges exploring problems seeking new opportunities and establishing goals. Also the Skilled Helper Model will contribute to

The section I chose was the first eight pages of chapter 3. I had chosen this section because it gives us a lot of background information of Chris, Chris and Westerberg’s relationship was interesting to me, and tells us a good reason why Chris chose to go to Alaska. This section gives us a lot of background information on Chris. He was very hard-working and never gave up. Like Westerberg said, “And he never quit in the middle of something. If he started a job, he'd finish it.”(18). The fact that he went to Emory University and read the hard and long book called War and Peace, shows that Chris is intelligent and studious. Another reason why I had chosen this section of the book was because of the strong relationship that Chris and Westerberg
