My Independent Class

The argument states that students should only be required to take classes within the fields that they are intersted in studying. As a student this first sounds like an amazing idea, because I would love to focus only on areas that I enjoy. When I start digging into this arguement I start to see some flaws in it though. First is that an education should not only base off what one is intersted in. For example, an engineer would love to just study engineering. However, when this engineer graduates they will find that many of the skills that are needed in the work force were not taught during their education because they only studied what intersted them. I believe that students should be required to take a broad range of courses that will help equip them for the real world. A student should learn what they are

Years ago, in a classroom with so-called innocent and impressionable minds, the children in Ms. Elliot’s class were exposed to an experiment that forever altered their vision of discrimination. Unbeknownst to them at the time, the outcome of their participation would later become adopted as study material and models for workshops, for future scholars and employees. This brief exercise, originating back to 1968 and titled A Class Divided, demonstrated concepts such as bias within groups, the repercussions of discrimination, how cultural upbringing can play a role in one’s racial perceptions, and that adults can be similarly impacted by intentional bias. Such experimentation naturally brings up the matter of ethics, and begs the question whether or not such a study would be conducted in a classroom today, and if so, would one let their child participate. Controversial research and methods can be eye-opening to read about, but might have nuggets of wisdom for willing scholars.

There is a time in everyone’s lives, when they gain independence. There was a time when I asserted my independence and I broke away from influence and control of some things and my parents. I received my driver's license recently, and also, I got my first car. I gained my independence from this event. I felt I needed to be independent for many reasons. I wanted to become independent because I felt like it would make me become more mature. Driving on your own can be dangerous at times and requires you to have a high level of maturity. If you aren’t mature enough before you start, when you start to drive by yourself, it will shape you into a very mature individual. I also felt that I needed to become independent because I didn’t like relying on my parents every time I wanted to go

The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of

I chose to take LABR 1F99 as one of my elective classes mainly because I think it will help me to get a better understanding of how our world functions. I believe that there is always a reason why people chose to perform a certain work, people choices influence not only their individual lives but the political environment as well. As a future politician I think the knowledge that this class will provide me will shape my mind in way so I can see what has to be changed on a government level in order to create a better, safer living conditions for its citizens.

In the past few decades the global economy has undergone a fundamental shift. The characteristics of the economy have shifted to favor an information-based economy in which technology plays the largest role in the production process. This has come at the expense of the characteristics of the Fordist system, such as a large class of manufacturing workers in the American midwest. The rise of the creative class is part of the same transition that is responsible for the demise of the American worker. The transition from Fordism to knowledge-based capitalism has seen the majority of manufacturing jobs replaced by automation. The displacement stemming from automation as well as resentment for the lucrative creative class sparked the rise of populist candidates in 2016.

“A Class Divided” was an intriguing video that encompasses not only the social aspects of racisms but also psychological factors that contribute to cultural differences. I truly thought that this video was an eye opening experience, which not only served as a simple experiment, but also served as an educational lesson in how simple, not only children, but also grown adults can be consciously or unconsciously taught into discrimination.

When I completed high school, I started a tutoring class in which my friend joined me. There are many children from poor background in the slum near where I live who could not afford holiday tutoring offered in other places. As we were just out of high school our memories and knowledge was still fresh. We initially had a class of just five students but the number grew to over twenty in one and a half weeks. We teach them Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. I take Physics and Chemistry. This was a success and it gave me inspiration and motivation. I felt happy knowing I was changing someone’s life directly by helping them improve their grades. It inspired me and made me want to help as much people as I could. It also helped me in gaining confidence

I believe in order for me to be successful now and in the future, I need to remember the importance of developing a balance between working in complete solitude and working in a social environment that may present frequent distractions. While I believe that I am capable of producing great work during moments of solitude, I also recognize the

Besides, teachers do not spend much time sharing their skills and knowledge with one another. Teachers need a countless amount of autonomy if they are going to be dynamic and independence life long learners, and effective in the classroom. Teachers need to have the freedom to recommend the finest treatment for their students as doctors or lawyers do for their clients.

Individualization is most successful when they are on their own yet are able to see and utilize the unique talents in others (Rath, 2007). This person believes

The materials i used that truly help me finish this project was the internet and google. How i completed my project was simple. First week i did nothing, second week i did a day's worth of research, my third week i did nothing, then the last weeks i did more research and finished my poster board. I think i was in the middle of myself staying on track, because somethings i would brainstorm ideas and not get any major work done, and when i was on task i get lots of my work done. Some of the challenges i ran into during this project was

Independence. This word represents something that Christopher doesn’t get much of. Christopher goes to a school for special students and he is limited on his freedom. All his life he is getting put into a different category just because he is different. I believe that he can be the amazing student he is inside. I think that Christopher should have be given the chance to go to regular school because he has potential to be a focused and brilliant student.

I can also work well independently. This is very true when I make my reaction papers, concept papers and other individual reports. But I am fonder with working with a group.

     Graduating and getting out on your own is a difficult step to make. There are a lot of things that you have to take into perspective. The choices that you make when you get out of highschool believe it or not are crucial and life altering. Decisions that you have to make are ones like what you want your career to be, where you want to live, and a big decision is buying a house. In making these decisions you have to do a lot of research and things to be prepared. I did a lot of research in hopes of finding a career that I would like and three things that I could see myself doing was owning my own spa ($100,000 yearly salary), managing a spa($60,000 yearly salary), or being an
