How Full Is Your Bucket Summary

Good afternoon classmates have been excellent to share are experience and the insight of our weekly discussions this semester. I've increased my knowledge this semester on the explanatory material of understanding that everyone in the community is affected society and through open communication of understanding our social surroundings. When I first took this class, I didn't know the difference between psychology which is the study of behavior versus sociology which is the study of people. Next, I would say I learned the importance of critical thinking and following the steps to research because if you don't come up with the question first your research is doomed. Chapter 2 the Zimbardo’s Experiment: The Individual and the Social Role has stuck

Overall the book was a good read and touched on some various topics that are discussed in our class.

It discussed comments or gushing offered by teachers to a student. Not only are the teachers rewarding the student in front of their peers, but they are also encouraging competition among others. I had never thought about such praise being negative or controlling. I see this all the time in classrooms I observe and even classes I have been in as a college student. However, after reading this chapter it makes sense that it actually is negative and can cause serious problems among the students. I wish more educators understood this idea and did not continue to express such praises and comments to their

            1) One of the aspects I really enjoyed for this chapter is it is all about different ways writing can be used besides writing an essay paper in High school. I remember in high school how if I had to type a paper or write a paper how I hated it because you had to go through the process of writing and analyzing a paper and it always had to be 3 pages long. Chapter 2 is all about taking your students write more, which I thought would be a horrible idea, but have them write different things besides an essay paper.

C. Padmore discussed “Teamwork” was discussed amongst staff. Staff was given a handout on “Teamwork” Staff also offered up a few examples of teamwork.

Wheelan (2013) provides many good examples of what to do in certain circumstances that deal with safety and inclusion, conflict resolution, identifying roles and responsibilities, and fostering esprit de corps during group development. In addition, she identifies the positive traits that should be displayed by both team members and team leaders alike such as involving other members in the leadership of the group and actively participating in achieving objectives.

What I found interesting in this chapter would have to be about Diversity “The New Social Norm " in the chapter it talks about the different cultural backgrounds, opportunity changes, peoples beliefs, and religion. I find this interesting because without social norms there would be chaos in the world. In today's era society is built upon the thought of citizen conformity to a prescribed set of values and norms. In the chapter, it states “The United States is a multicultural society. This is unlike a monocultural society in which everyone looks and acts alike and believes pretty much the same thing. Diversity brings with it both opportunities and challenges; it brings opportunities for people to find commonalities and share unique beliefs and

1. Think of a present/past work environment you have been on (or use and example from your course materials), and then assess organizational behavior practices you observed that fostered the effect of positive changes(s) within the organization. Cite relevant examples from your personal experience and utilize additional relevant examples from outside sources and/or the course materials to complete this question.

The reason for this reflection is to review what has happened in a deeper level than just summarizing what has happened over the course of this project. During the weeks learned some things, not just from the book that I was reading, but also from participating in a group. The lessons I learned led to my group being successful in the few goals that were created. All of the goals were met in different ways whether it would be just finishing the book or us getting up in front of the whole class to present the google slides that we created.

Sawyer speaks a lot of truth in this paragraph about how collaboration is what makes all of the amazing innovative teams spark new ideas. Groups should not be self-centered but they need to be empowered by the whole and not its parts. As

The theory of “how full is your bucket” contains more information about how human being lives a life that portraits the behavior in a way of positive or negative attitudes. My experience I encounter on personal dipping is when I felt depressed and stress concerning my life. I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis last week and am undergoing treatment now. Moreover, I am psychological, emotionally depressed trying to figure out how I can survive with such disease. To make the matters worse, this disease takes much time about six to seven months to get rid of the body. My husband is a person of motivation, caring, and understanding. He fills my bucket by encouraging me to be strong and think positive for what situation am

Overall, I feel I have gained a greater level of understanding others and the importance of working together as a team from working as part of this

The first thing that I found interesting was Sennett's description of how the ideals of "team work" has replaced "supervisors". It might be thought that in team-working, a sense of workplace community would be fostered. However, he explains that no lasting networks are formed. Within teams workers learn to develop a false persona, they fake co-operation, they know how to say the right things so that they can be seen to be ‘team players'. I found this to be very true of how I have acted in certain team situations.

In Chapter one the topic that comes to my first thought is; I feel that I’ve gained a better insight to the various types of economic systems. This is an area that I feel I’ve often struggled with in many aspects. I have traveled to several places outside of the United States and have often heard of people speak of their economic system. I always wanted to understand what they were talking about and how it impacted their countries. In chapter one it gave me that opportunity. I was able to gain a better understanding of the different types of economic systems and how they functioned.

Chapter 7 was enlightening and the chapter I was able to relate with the most thus far. For example, one part of the text stated that educators and families often set low expectations for students with disabilities. I can relate to this personally. When I was in the IDEA program, my classes were rarely challenging and my teachers generally set low expectations for my peers and me. I believe the reason for this was to not stress the students or push them past their limits. However, my best teachers were those who did push me to my limits, so I could set a new limit the following semester.
