Interpretation of Survey Results

It is easy to reject change just because I have grown accustomed to the way the work is being performed. Without examining the new way, I am not giving it a chance. Rejecting change delays progress and wastes time and effort. To overcome this hindrance, reactions should be set aside, and the change should be judged critically based on the idea.

I know that many people struggle with change, including me. Change often comes without a warning and catches you off guard, but it is not always a bad thing. Change can make things exciting and test your limits.

Change is a process that affects individuals and their environments. Some people choose to embrace change, while others resist it. “Macbeth”; the song “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and the episode of the Twilight Zone, “A Stop at Willoughby” all successfully convey the notion of change and demonstrate how individuals and societies can embrace or resist change.

Change can be confronting and because of this we often try to resist it. However, we need change and we must accept it, for without change we cannot grow. This confrontation of change, resistance and final acceptance of change can be seen in the texts, " Drifters", " And a good Friday was held by all" by Bruce Dawe and 10 Things I hate about you" by Gil Junger. All three of these texts examine the process of change and the attitudes towards change.

Starting with the introduction of the survey they seemed to be too specific in their intro of what was going to be in the survey by describing each type of question that would be presented throughout the survey. I feel like this information isn’t necessary and over excessive in an introduction. That part of the introduction should be taken out and instead maybe include something along the lines of “Please read every question carefully and thank you for participating” or something along those lines.

You cannot be considered a green bug on the brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way in which we believe. Changes can make life a hardship on awhile, it might cause stress but it can help us find methods to improve our selves. Change is going to be there forever, we should be vunerable to it.

According to Heraclitus, the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, there was no permanent reality except the reality that change is inevitable, inescapable and immutable (Heraclitus, 2016). So the saying about change being the only constant is very true because things are always evolving and changing. The world revolves, seconds tick away, minutes turn to hours, nothing ever stays the same. In our day to day lives, we face constant changes in our families, jobs, and health (Manning & Curtis, 2012). Whether rational or not, most people fear change. It is important to stop fearing and resisting change because it is only traumatic if you try to resist it. It is important to realize that if things stayed the same, there would be no room for growth or

Changing perspectives…Change is a process, a transition or an alteration that affects different aspects of our life. As a result the forces of change can seriously affect the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of individuals. The affects of change can have a positive or negative outcome. These affects can be viewed in all three of the texts that we have studied for the Area of Study. Change is a part of life and whether or not we like that aftermath of the particular aspect of the change it will happen, you can put it off and put it off but sooner or later it will happen. Change is also unavoidable. To examine change and changing perspectives the following texts will be assessed the core text in the area of study "Looking for Alibrandi" the

Change can be as minimum as changing our body language as Amy Cuddy proclaimed during her presentation in Edinburgh, Scotland in June 2012 (Cuddy, 2012), or as significant as turning our entire life around. Genuine or long lasting change and superficial or temporary change are both extremely important in order for a person to advance through life. While being able to change both for long or short periods of time allow us to adapt to new situations, the time, the effort and the significance are some of the fundamental differences between them. Both long lasting and temporary change have been very evident in my own life.

Change. It is a concept often discussed as being an inevitable part of human life, something people has experienced numerous of times, and will continue to experience throughout their lives. Change comes in many forms and has a range of effects, which are either negative or positive on those who experience it and respond to it. Change, particularly in relation to the topic ¡°Changing perspective creates awakening¡±, is a view that is repeatedly explored and been written in poem/film by thousands of composers.

We are often afraid of change, because of the connotations that surround it: forcing ourselves to be vulnerable or unsure of what to expect, leading us to feel unprepared or unworthy. What many of us fail to realize however, is just how positive change can be.

As stated in my introduction, I perceive transformation to be a period of growth, brought on through an expansion of knowledge and improvement of self. Unique from other types of change, it is not the awareness of the need for change or a plan to change, but rather the action of change; an evolution.

Reading this weeks assignment reminded me of when I was working for a very large bank in the area as a sales and customer service representative and their motto before they roll out a new program was “change is good”. This was imprinted into our brains because all changes were good and beneficial for us until they closed the company and moved to Mumbai, India for much cheaper labor. Everything around us is changeable but not all change is good. Grasping the concept that everything is changeable depends on a person’s mindset. If you are a person who makes lemonade when you get lemons or see the glass as half full (or as Dr. Cedillos said, take the half full glass and pour it into a smaller glass and you will have a full glass to sip and enjoy),

Change surrounds us and is unrelenting. All a person needs to do is walk into an electronics store and survey all the new gadgets available for purchase. We are constantly bombarded by advertising and marketing telling us of the improvements and benefits of new products and services.

When someone or something suggests making different in form, to transform, and to replace or substitute; I can only think of change. Change is all around us and has become a way of life. Understanding the reasons behind the change, for me is the key to managing change. As I reflect over some of the activities of my quick skills text of managing change. I can now see that it has brought me full circle from understanding change, to reacting to change, developing a positive attitude toward change, to anticipate change, to creating change, and keeping
