According to Bernie Sanders, “It is time to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol. It is time to end the arrest of so many people and the destruction of so many lives for possessing marijuana”. Cannabis is considered to be an illegal drug but is used for medical purpose. 587,700 people were arrested for marijuana in 2016. More people always get arrested for marijuana than other crimes like rape, murder, or robbery.

For the very first outcome, I have chosen major paper 1 since I explore 3 different genres of art that have a same theme, the novel, movie and musicals of Notre-Dame de Paris, and what strategies these three different genres use to attract their audiences in my major paper 1. Thus, I had deeper understanding of different strategies in different contexts. For the second outcome, I think that my annotated bibliography would perfectly illustrate this outcome since I spent hours to read, analyze and refine those resources I cited in my annotated bibliography and synthesize what I need to effectively support my major paper 2. For the third outcome, I used what I have refined and synthesized from my annotated bibliography to create complex but structural and analytic context to make my points convincing. For the fourth outcome, I would like to use my deconstruction paper, which was written in the first month of the fall quarter, because my professor commented that I lacked clear structure in my deconstruction paper and made some confusion. I could prove that I am skillful to use learned writing strategies and skills to rewrite by revising my deconstruction

Source A is an academic abstract of a study comparing the relationship between the legalization of medical marijuana in various states and the increase in abuse, use, and dependence of the substance. There would be a greater number of people who use marijuana recreationally with its increased legalization. Source F is supports Source A in this sense, in that the legalization of the drug will promote the recreational use and therefore an increased social tolerance towards the substance. This allows for there to be more people to accept the use of the drug in society, a negative influence. Source F also directly references studies similar to other sources, such as Source B, claiming that medical marijuana does not magically cure all disorders

The marijuana screening inventory is an individually administered test. It was developed as a psychometrically reliable and valid tool for clinical use in general health and primary care settings. This is a thirty-one question assessment that assess the participant need for marijuana. The assessment is completed with paper and pen and takes approximately ten minutes to complete. Participants have the ability of answering yes or no to each question. After the participant has completed the assessment the scores are added calculating yes as one point and no for zero points. Seven or more “Yes” responses suggest a “High Risk-Problematic” pattern of marijuana use; four to six “Yes” responses suggest a “Moderate Risk” pattern; one to three a “Low

Following the independent learner inventory task I have developed a more enlightened method of thought for how I will approach my future studies. The questionnaire has highlighted that I am strong in terms of motivation and managing my learning, but I need to improve how I reflect on my learning and make changes based on previous learning situations. I believe that I may be too targeted at the questions on the page and focused on achieving completion rather than developing a strategy to employ for how I would better approach the studies to both achieve completion and to also benefit future tasks . Going forward for me to be a more successful learner I will have to better develop skills relating to assignment or essay structures, delivery, learning

Generally, this message was easier for me to understand. In my brainstorming map, I focused on the story, the teacher, and the totem pole. For the second map, I added pictures of Gallaudet and a Deaf person to describe the teacher. My categorized map groups the pictures into the overall message: the story the teacher told about the totem pole; details about the teacher telling the story; and the importance of the totem pole to Native Americans. I changed my abstract for this video multiple times. At first I tried to include that this was the student’s favorite teacher. I had to remind myself to look for the big picture, so I deleted that information from my abstract. I still wonder if this abstract includes too many minor

Task 1 requires you to submit a written piece of work covering all learning outcomes (LO1s, LO2s & LO3s) with a reflective account embedded in the context of work.

Through this course we have gone into depth with various theories and concepts that have resonated with me. I have truly enjoyed this course and getting a greater understanding of the cognitive process of the mind, and having a greater understanding of the complexity of the brain and how learning, and how memories can be altered in our mind. I have decided to go into depth with cognitive process of the brain, the top-down and bottom-up processing, and schemas and how it effects stereotypes and rationalization.

Rankin is using the map to act as a landscape a place where thoughts, memory, experience and place collate to become this practice that is a representational of the past and the present, the past through death and the geological sky which past and present diagrammatically is the same. An artist who has created something similar, creating a textual map from the landscape of the mind is Grayson Perry his piece Map of an Englishman (2004) reflects on a deeper level than Rankin the Individual Psychology of ones mind, stating anxieties, desires, fears and using them to act as place names. Perry’s comments on stereotypes in society and judgemental attitudes, creating a satirical map that reflects his state of mind. Rankin’s words are less specific

I knew from the outset what my personal challenges would be on this journey. The prevalence of theory in this program was a significant concern, as my personal learning style has always centred around visualization. I do not understand new ideas; I see them as structures. With theory, there is nothing to see until the theory is applied to an example, model or system where I can then visualize connections. It is in this area I most wanted to find growth through this course, and have tasked myself with the challenge of thinking about theory differently. Having said that, visualization is one of my greatest strengths, so my intent is not to replace that skill, but to augment it. Finding the sweet spot between understanding the abstract and a building a detailed mind-map has proven to be the most

Marijuana has been in the world for over hundreds of years. It has strength and endurance; it was used to make fibrous products like rope. According to the article “Marijuana”, “Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the United States” (Sego). Due to the wild use of it many people believe the accouterments of the drug are harmless. Currently, it is legal in 4 states for recreational use. There are also other states they approve it’s use for medical reasons. THC a component in Marijuana creates a euphoric feeling, allowing the user to be relaxed because it is distributed to the receptors in the central nervous system.

After watching this video I found a lot of thing and what you can call the tragedy of the Native American that they went through. I think your work is very organized and you addressed all the points required. And how oppression, stereotyping and racism is related to situation of the American Indian group in the Canary

The Landfill Harmonic video was insightful. I enjoyed this video, which reminded me of the value of creativity. A person can open up opportunities through creativity and vision. I will use vision to set goals and plan throughout this course. I plan to focus on the vision to complete all schoolwork on time and with my best effort. Additionally, this video shared the value of taking advantage of opportunities. I will apply opportunities to my daily life by taking advantage of new opportunities. This will begin by opening my mind to new possibilities and stepping out of my comfort.

To be completely honest, I’ve been putting this essay off because I just didn’t know what to write about. Obviously, I have interests and passions, but which ones mean the most to me? Which ones stand out in my mind? Unusually, my answer came while writing a research paper on electroconvulsive therapy. Sounds odd right? When I was asked to write a simple research paper on electroconvulsive therapy for my English class I thought it would be a piece of cake. The paper was to include information about the history, uses, and how it worked. Yet, instead of following these guidelines I found myself writing more about the mentally ill individuals it was being used on. I was writing more about their struggles and the challenges of being mentally
