Pavlina Living Your Values

In this article, I found new key points to support my new claim of what the author 's main point is.  At certain parts in the article, the author explains  how he has learned lessons in the factory which he couldn 't have learned in the classroom.  These lessons allowed him to better his college life, by understanding why it is important to not sack off is one example.  There are many instances in this article that I can use to support my claim.  By showing the specific text in my essay, will further substantiate my claim and allow me to show my audience the author 's key point and enforce my stance.

While reading through your response on the readings assigned for week #2, I felt you did great at explaining the details and examples for the terms that were introduced in week two assignment. For instinct when you gave the example of Ariel Castro and how he was arrested for kidnapping 3 young women in Cleveland while trying to explain teleological being based upon ones goals and consequences. While Deontological theories being more duty based where it was based off of the action instead of the consequence. So it focus on the right or wrong of the action not the right and wrong of the consequences.

That was a beautiful week, I enjoyed reading all of the materials despite my challenge about the electricity issues. I have some concerns because until now due to electricity issues I am unable to participate in the discussion forum. I posted so late in the discussion when the electricity was established I prepared my assignments, I assessed my peers, and I did not find enough time to go in the discussion forum to read and rate my fellow classmates; and I did not grade for my discussion. Then, I will strive to see how I am going to solve this problem quickly.

Good discussion forum, everyone providing excellent tips and information which adds a lot more value to our learning, especially this week that I was not sure what answers were expected for the discussion.

This whole chapter was on how negativity and positivity can affect productivity. It talked in depth of the ways a person may be affected by positivity or negativity in a group. Throughout the chapter I found things that were appealing and stood out to me. One of the things that stood out to me was Ken’s method of bucket filling in his major organization. He really thinks about his workers and how they must feel. He really takes the time to learn about all the good things about his workers and all the productive

4. I thought both sides did an excellent job on using course readings in there speeches. The use of the quote, “a rhetor uses situated ethos to keep character” was really solid, it demonstrated the proposition’s point that situated ethos is need and more important than inventive. Another quote from the reading that was used was, “…speaker has good sense, good will, and good moral…” which I again that was extremely influential because it gave proof that character is influenced by situated ethos. If I had to critique, I would say I wish that the quotes where more center of the debate and also when they were used to be said more than once. However, the last critique is more of a personal want because I’m a slow writer. Overall, I thought the quotes that were used were extremely influential and crucial in this

This week was full of topics that I had not studied before. I enjoyed learning about the Mexican American War. This is a topic I am very unfamiliar with. As a resident of Texas, I was surprised how much I did not know. I had always assumed that Mexico had a weak army so learning that they had a bigger and more powerful army was interesting. I was also unfamiliar with all the figures that played a role in the Mexican American war. I wonder if we could have a president who now who is able to keep his campaign promises now the way James K. Polk did. It was encouraging to me to see that the American soldiers acted appropriately and treated the Spanish priests that they encountered with respect and behaved well. It was fascinating to see Robert

In 1-3 sentences, in your opinion, what was the single most important point of this week's readings, and why do you feel that was the most important point?

Although it is seen that everyone has similar opinions from time to time, not everyone’s opinions correlate. I was able to see this during the discussion of the Weekly News Analysis’. Different students in my class were able to dissect the same article but in different ways. I realized that everyone has lived through different life experiences and have diverse opinions and points of views on various topics. It was amazing for me to realize that if everyone helped one another, we could learn a lot due to the different perspectives and mindsets.

What I found interesting in this chapter would have to be about Diversity “The New Social Norm " in the chapter it talks about the different cultural backgrounds, opportunity changes, peoples beliefs, and religion. I find this interesting because without social norms there would be chaos in the world. In today's era society is built upon the thought of citizen conformity to a prescribed set of values and norms. In the chapter, it states “The United States is a multicultural society. This is unlike a monocultural society in which everyone looks and acts alike and believes pretty much the same thing. Diversity brings with it both opportunities and challenges; it brings opportunities for people to find commonalities and share unique beliefs and

Many of your comments resonated with me, so to wrap up our week, I wanted to share a few of these to summarize our learnings. These are as follows:

I believe a person strength can also be measured by the constructive criticism given, consequently is placed into adherence. Therefore, last week we both made some noticeable errors, however this week we both corrected them accordingly. The reference section of your paper was done, in my opinion studiously perfect. The citations were great references for the paper and there were no unused pronouns. This make it simpler for Jeffery to attach to our final group paper, awesome! Although the post demonstrated complete APA guidelines it did not adhere to the professor’s complete instructions. The professor wants us to use short topics in place of the questions. I am sure this is was an oversite as it happens to me all the time. Lastly, each onlinemate was asked to answer a panel of four question demonstrating engagement with the material again this is well executed. In addition, Chapter 5 was a beast of its own. There are 5 more question needing

I wasn’t able to choose a side between Panglass and Martin because they both made great points in my opinion. Reading why you identified with Pangloss made total scene and it helped me look at his views in a different manner. But I also feel Martin had suffered tough experiences that made him look at the world and people in a different prospective that Pangloss could not see. I love the way you explained college as being an example cultivating our garden.

Although this was probably the most ‘rollercoaster-esk’ conversation that I had ever had regarding my personal spirituality, I’m glad that it happened. I now have a better understanding of the habits that I still need to die to and the kind of mentorship I need to seek out and learn from.

The advice on managing my financial resources was also beneficial because it open my eyes t the pitfalls of credit card debt that I didn’t pay attention to before such as the amount of extra time and interest it would take to pay off a card if I only paid the minimum payment each month. The suggestions for saving money were interesting as well. I learned there are huge advantages to saving early and using the power of compound interest.
