Labor Studies Course Analysis

I did learn a lot from the classes. Every week, the person who delivered the speech would give really useful information. The lady Veronica from CCO gave us the tips on how to create our resume and what will be useful when you are having an interview. Although I am not going to get a job after graduation, I still got a lot of useful information.

My major is Human Development. I am taking 13 units for this fall 2015, and volunteering at Horizon Cross Cultural Center where I can learn my skills and my experiences. My future plan is graduate in the Spring of 2017. After graduation, I plan to work full-time.

I want to major in “Human Services”. By getting a master’s degree in human services you can become many different things such as a marriage and family therapist, human services educator, a drug and alcohol counselor, a school social worker, and many other things.

I felt this course has become extremely helpful in learning about and understanding United States history and gave me better overviews of all the significant events that shaped the United States into the great country it is today. So many things I have leaned about in this course were quiet magnificent. The most important thing that I noticed about history is that it’s always changing. No matter how much evidence we have of the past, the way we look at the past can be distorted in many different ways.

Satanists are Atheists with humanist philosophies. Members of the Church of Satan believe that all gods were created by man. So their belief is, by worshiping these invented gods, religious folk actually worship human inventors. The Church’s belief is that we, as humans, are responsible for ourselves and not to a god. Members value characteristics such as pride, liberty, and other human traits that some religions consider inappropriate. The Church aims to end the clash between religious policies and natural inclinations so that members can live without guilt for doing these human instincts and desires.

With all of that being said, I am pursuing a Criminal Justice Major. However, this isn’t because I’ll be making extravagant money and be able to throw outrageous parties on yachts. No, it’s not like that at all. But, it will provide a secure income to provide for my future family. Yet, that’s still not the complete reason that I have chosen this major. I chose this major because for my entire 19 years of life I have loved helping anyone and everyone. I see people struggling everyday with all different aspects of life. Whether its money problems, they’re being harassed, they have problems with drugs, or anything else; I am always trying my hardest to turn their life around and just please them.

In the beginning I chose three minors that I felt would be beneficial to many aspects of life and business. The first chosen was communication. Communication is essential in all that we do, both professionally and socially. Without being able to articulate and receive information properly, we would not be able accumulate or disperse knowledge needed to perform to the best of our abilities. For my second minor I chose public relations. Public relations is how the public perceives an individual or organization. And how person or company responds and communicates to situations pertaining to the individuals it serves.

1. Assess proposals to institute pay for performance in federal agencies. What are the consequences of adopting new labor–management procedures at a time when the United States is deeply involved with homeland security and other national security concerns?

Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

My feelings upon the completion of this class is the feeling of accomplishment and motivation. I have learned so much from this course. Information that I never knew that existed in our country’s history. It makes me wonder why there is so much that we are not required to learn in history classes. It makes me proud to be a woman and know how far we have gone to get to where we are at today. We definitely do have a long way to go to have equal rights amongst all. I would take another women’s studies class if I had to take another electives class. This women’s studies class was insightful and kept me intrigued. My questions were answered. I learned much more than I would ever expect. I did have fears that this class was going to get heated,

When I graduated from high school, I was admitted at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I enrolled in the School of Business. My major was Accounting. I did so to please my parents and what I thought would be the best fit. I was not very happy, and I must confess that I was bored to death. After two years of studying something that I did not like, I changed my focus to School of Social Work. I was taking elective classes in Social Work/Mental Health Counseling and realize that this field held my interest and really represented how I viewed myself and the world. I was out from College for 5 years. Working with the Department of Social Services and numerous nonprofit organizations. For the last 5 years I have been working as a Social Worker for Department of Social Service Child Protective Service Investigator. I actual love my job because it is customer (client) oriented and I got to practice my counseling skills indirectly and directly with my clients I encounter on an daily

Employment or labor laws have been developed to facilitate smooth relationship between employers and employees. Employment laws provide rules and regulations that should govern both the employer and the employees in their places of work. Employment laws discuss issues related to child labor, wages and salaries, retirement, working conditions, compensations, incentives and employment benefits among others. The major objective is to ensure the employer does not exploit the employee and on the other hand, the employee honors the terms and conditions of the job as presented by the employer.

I feel like I learned a lot from this course. I think, overall, this course was very eye-opening and made me understand, and want to better understand, issues involving gender and how they effect society. I would say the one of the most important pieces of information I learned was just how much the idea of gender and gender roles influences everyday life. I had never really thought too much about the determents of gender or traditional masculine and feminine ideals before this class, and how we as a society promote and encourage the belief that a person’s gender or sex creates different innate, natural attitudes and attributes. Learning about how important society’s views of gender is, and how it affects the way we learn and think, makes me look at our culture in a different way. For example, before this class I never realized how much women are objectified and put under intense Photoshop in advertisements. This better understanding of the way society is helps me take a step back and look at our culture in a different way, and allows me to become more aware of the issues surrounding gender, sex, and the ideals of masculinity and femininity.

There’s so much opportunity to learn new skills, and information about my professional degree study. With the information that’s taught to me, it will not make me limited on what I could do in the work field. Educational Studies will help support, and get me ready for what I need to know. The study teaches about diversity, multicultural issues, children with learning issues, and so much more.

Having a Bachelor’s, in addition to my years of experience, makes me eligible to be promoted to an Operations Manager, or a Director at my current job. I can also be a Billing Manager at a hospital. All of which are careers I am interested in. The final plan in my academic future is to earn my Master’s Degree in Social Work. After completion of my Master’s, I can pursue the career of my dreams, a Hospice Social Worker.
