Mistakes Don T Have To Be Setbacks: Article Analysis

Life is full of challenges to overcome. Whether it be something small like failing a test or something big like losing someone you love, hardship is everywhere. When it comes to honor and certainty, resilience is a key part of obtaining and keeping these attributes. Getting through hard times is what matters most in a world full of sadness.

In order to build up resilience, a student must learn to support themselves and seek support from others. A student that supports themselves can lead themselves into a better future because they are learning through experience. For example, Lori in The Glass Castle wanted to get out of West Virginia and move to New York. She was tired of living in a house that had no food, no running water, and was falling apart. Lori believed that she could save enough money for herself so that she could go live in New York. Unfortunately, her father took the money that they earned to move to New York. An unexpected opportunity opened up for Jeannette that would get her sister out of West Virginia (Walls 218). They both got jobs to support the destination they were planning to go. This shows that when a student supports themselves they can accomplish the goals that they have set for themselves, like how Lori and

During our lives we come across many difficult times in which we learn important skills. However, our actions choose what skills we've gained. For instance, a person who makes rational choices, keeps aware of what these choices do, and never letting the situation over take them have the characteristics of a resilient perosn. People with resilience have a way of dealing with problems in the most effective way possible, like Louie Zamperini, who was lost at sea for months after his plane malfunctioned and crashed. His fight for survival brought forth these traits and caused him to outlive his situation.

The article “The Case for Fitting In” compares to my idea of conformity because I think that it means how you change your opinion due to social pressure. My idea of conformity relates to the article because it was talking about how when people were in a group and someone said the wrong answer they usually went with it. “Each subject saw 18 sets of lines, and the group answer was wrong for 12 of them” this proves that most of the time people went with the group rather than going with their personal opinion. I think that the article really compares with my definition of conformity because I think that it causes you to change your opinion and sometimes causes you to choose wrong answers. I also strongly think that the article agrees with me because

After reading the article, “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way”, by Anna Harrington, I have a better understanding of resilience and how it affects my well-being. Resilience is best described as an attribute that allows me to overcome negative situations in a stronger more knowledgeable manner (Harrington, 2012). If I face these negative situations with positive emotions, strong spiritual principles, and a healthier body I should be able to live “a happier, more fulfilled life”(Harrington, 2012, pg.30). Harrington goes on to say that if I implement these characteristics into my lifestyle, I could experience social benefits, in addition to a more substantial family life (2012). I do strongly believe, that if I keep God first and maintain a resilient demeanor, anything could be obtainable in regards to my family life, my career, and even my education at Bethel.

The main point of the article “Fail Safe Students” by Scott Carlson’s, is how failure is a setback that leads to heroism. We all know that failure is a moment that makes us question ourselves whether we keep moving on and fight for what we want or stay back and suffer the consequences. But nowadays people never want to experience failure as they think it’s the beginning cause of the problems. Where people should experience failure at a young age so they would learn the lesson and be successful throughout their lives. The author has written this article to make people aware that failing and recovering is a privilege where one can hope to experience. But many people don’t get second chances because the way of their lifestyles (poor). Experiencing

I believe that everyone could benefit from reading the two articles if they don’t already know what is going on or what has been going on in the US regarding law enforcement and the prison system. “The Right Choices” article digs fairly deep into the fact that there’s a disproportionate amount of black people in prison compared to other races. I feel as though some people are so quick to come to a conclusion that ‘black people must commit more crime’ when in actuality the systems basically target black people and people of color as a whole.

People have learned to be resilient in order to overcome serious hardships. A person’s resilience can be seen through how they handle bad experiences; to be resilient in the face of adversity.

According to Osgood (2014), in order for youth to become resilient they need help building a support system to fall back on, must learn the problem solving skills necessary to live on their

The article, “Reality Check”, made me think about how much false information we are given. You can’t trust anyone, everyone lies. Even if they think the information is true, their source could be wrong. It’s almost impossible to find reliable facts in our world. I always go on twitter at night, and I’ll read the most unbelievable things on there and still listen to it just because it’s there. I’ll get heated over tweets that have fake information and make a fool of myself. I need to stop looking at twitter and maybe try the news instead. However, Achenbach states that sometimes even reliable sources like news shows give out bad information. So there really is no information show or website out there that you can trust. Even the government gets things wrong and/or lies to us. This article made me sad for the human race. Why do we feel the need to make up fake information and spread it. This is something that has happened a lot in my high school experience. Girls and guys get petty and decide to spread vicious rumors about others. However, the fact that other people believe it and continue to spread it around makes it even worst. “Reality Check” did make great points about false information, but it also confused me. I found this article very hard to follow and comprehend because it was so boring. Some parts in the article just

In 1997, Oregon passed the right-to-die bill. This allowed doctors to provide medication to their patient, that if taken would kill the patient. In the article from the Time Magazine, California’s governor has to decide if he will allow this bill to pass. Since this article has been written California’s governor made the decision to pass to the bill. Caplan, a NYU bioethicist, says, “If California passes it, that’ll be huge

While the development of resilience during the period of adolescence has spawned a multitude of studies, there remains an extremely limited number of papers on its relationship with other psychological variables. Bozkus (2017) aimed to address this gap in the literature through the use of a more complex research model, which yielded the following results: (1) that resilience has a moderately positive correlation with self-determination along with self-efficacy; (2) that self-determination has a weakly positive correlation with self-efficacy; and (3) that resilience fully mediates the relationship between self-determination and self-efficacy. Resilience then eared the recognition of being an "important and valuable skill" that must be focused on if one wishes to increase self-efficacy through self-determination. These backgrounds, findings, and implications are also seen in a variety of pieces on neuro-biological development with regards to
