How My Group Members And I Worked Together

It taught me a lot on how to really listen to those commercials and ads on tv and better understand them. Before when I was listening to ads I really was just hearing a bunch of words but now that I know what I'm looking for they make so much more sense to me. Also I like the fact that i can pick out all the logical fallacies in the commercials now. When we first started the project i really didn't understand those but as i looked for them i realized how easy it is to see them. I also felt smarter when listening to them because of it haha. This project also made me more aware of other ways to look a subjects. I see it's important to listen to both sides of the story before deciding because everyone is really in it for themselves. It also really showed that if as a country we actually worked together we would do so much better then we

In this section, briefly describe the first concept you chose to analyze. Then, list the first culture you chose to explore and explain, in detail, how the concept is used by members of that culture (incorporate information you gained

The diversity of culture is an incredible notion. It is unfathomable how the anatomy of the human race is so similar, yet so different in the behaviors and ideas that take place. The two primary cultures I am focusing on throughout this essay are the differentiation between popular culture, and indigenous culture. I will also make the point of folk culture, and how it has slowly transformed itself from its self sufficiency, to relying more on the ways of popular culture.

Cultural myths affects how people act and also affects their beliefs. It can also make people not fully understand some things due to being limited by their cultural beliefs. To think more critically a person must look beyond more than cultural myths. The author gives an example which

I have learned how to ask better questions and to talk to my teachers when I need help or do not understand the concept well. I make sure that I have a relationship with my teachers and introduce myself at the beginning of each semester. Learning how to communicate with my teachers

Also I have improved as a self-directed Lifelong learner. A Self-directed lifelong learner demonstrates a capacity for both independent and collaborate work. They also demonstrate knowledge, respect, and appreciation for diverse cultures and finally they demonstrate time management and organization skills. In my Chicano Studies class I have learned so much about another culture and I have more respect for the Chicano culture. They as a nation have done so much and went through a lot to get to what they are now. I have learned about different painters, musicians, leaders and more. It has really been an interesting class to take this semester and I have been enjoying every single moment of it. Similarly in my Chicano studies class for my portfolio I got to learn more about myself and understand what kind of Pendeja (Stupid) am I. It was really interesting I fell under the category “Optimistic Pendeja” I had to research and read and do a lot but overall it was just a fun portfolio to do. In Chemistry I have really became organized because we are required to keep binders and my teacher checks them every month or so and you have to keep them organized and have to make sure, they are up to date if you want to get a good grade on it, and as a person I am not the most organized person but I have accelerated and grown better at it.

One huge impact I learned instantly is how you communicate with your client. I had to strengthen my communication skills because I needed to communicate with my clients in vocabulary that I knew they would understand. Communicating with a fellow peer, who is knowledgeable about taxes, is a different situation that of when you are speaking with a client. A client most likely doesn’t know the exact, in-depth details about taxes, which can lead to complications and confusion, so I had to adjust my lexicon to fit the clients’ needs and understanding. Also, working with partners was great. It gave me an opportunity to work with others and solve problems in a group. Sometimes, when one of us didn’t know the answer, the other one would step in and help. Also, I felt like the class was a gigantic supportive group because we would ask and answer each other questions, when we a confused about a topic or area.

In this paper, I will be exploring and explaining about the culture that I am studying in

I feel like I have had a better understanding of how people really think. I liked being able to go through each assignment and relate them to my own personal life. I have also learned how to manage my time much

I learned how not to paraphrase. this will help me by not copying someone's work and getting in trouble. It will also help me if I become a news reporter. If i become a news reporter and i paraphrase I might get fired. This will help me in a lot of other things to.

I was able to grasp a better understanding of data collection, I used a couple different programs in order to input data and I was able to comprehend how to organise and input various data variables on a large scale. Regarding organization, I was able to learn how important being organised truly is when dealing with clients. When the vistas are organised, it is better for the vistas and the clients as well. They are able to search for services accurately and offer the best solutions on an individual level. Over the years, I have learned many ways to best manage my time, whether it was in college or at my numerous jobs, being on time allows for one to best take care of their responsibilities. This sentiment was perpetuated at the NHC, it was important to be on time because many of the assignments I had were time related, and when you are in the business of helping people, it is important to be prompt, prepared and

I learned that my passions and skills have a place in this world and cannot be dismissed with a puff of smoke. My need to help has contributed to my dream of researching and finding ways to treat mental illnesses, as well as joining the Peace Corps after college.

It made me feel good about myself and showed me that even though I may not feel that I am not performing well, like the mentor role; my peers feel that I am. I tend to be hard on myself and meet or exceed what others may expect of me. This was truly the first time I realized how effective I am in a team environment. I honestly have shied away from group related tasks in the past, it has only been in recent years that I reached out to others and felt we could accomplish so much more as a group. The degree of how well we were doing was only measured by the completion of a task, but this has shown me an in depth view of the dynamic nature of group

During week 9, we posted the articles we thought would be useful to our research, which helped us to get information together without face-to-face meetings. We did not use the online workplace to plan the presentation; we only used it to get an understanding of what the others’ focus was on the topic. After we finished our research, we met at the library to organize the presentation, power point, and plan each other’s section in the presentation. We got everything done in three hours and had some time left over to practice the presentation. I would have taken at least three days to get that amount of work done by myself. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when people work together. Working as a group was an exciting activity; we were able to recognize each other’s strengths, and help each other with our weaknesses. For example, I was better at making the power point, while someone else was much better at organizing information.

I am a person that loves the idea of group work. I love multiple ideas coming together with the same goal to form something great, and have fun along the way. Though, because of experience, I have always been a bit nervous about entering a partner or group project. In many cases, as other have experienced, I would either be completing the project myself or would have my input shut out from the group. We always seemed to lack successful communication skills, which led to fights, unequal work balance, etc. Entering the project with Hannah, I did have some concerns. My first concern was communication. I was worried that only being able to communicate online, since I was in Oregon, would cause some roadblocks. I was also worried about simple goals/personality clashes. I mean this as I was worried that my partner would not have the same drive for success in the project that I did, and that we wouldn’t get along well. Thankfully, none of this was the case at. I was pleasantly surprised by how Hannah and I worked together, and am truly happy with the process of creating our paper.
