I may didn’t get the answers I wanted, but I still learned so much from this project about our relationship but most importantly myself. One thing I have learn doing this assignment would be no matter how open you are to someone, don’t expect them to be at that same level of vulnerability. There are some discussion points I did not add to some of my journals because it truly was kind of awkward to express yourself whole heartedly and the other person response is “ok” or “oh’. Everyone does not communicate the same way I do, so I definitely was expecting too much from him at times. another thing I have learned is in order to be a great communicator I must first be a great communicator with myself. I monitor my relationship and communication
The sexualization of the female pop celebrity has been a significant point of research for many years. Since the rise of celebrity, scholars have been studying how the roles we place on our notable figures influence the rest of us. In recent history, the landscape of celebrity culture has drastically changed. Now more than ever, social media has allowed us to be connected to the stars that we look up to. Research has increased on the subject since the start of the 21st century. Recent scholarship in gender and media studies has looked at female pop celebrities in particular in relation to the developments in media technology. Particularly, this scholarship focuses on female singers.
When you say sports most people would either think professional or the best moments that occurred but there is also a dark side to sports that no one wants to talk about. Many things happened or are happening in sports such as racism, steroids, betting, sex scandals etc. but a topic that has been going on for a while is whether NCAA players should get paid. People have spoken out against this and even try to fight it but the NCAA won’t budge and says that they want to keep the amateurism and if they switch to paying players they would be buying the best players making it professional.
Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.
I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.
I plan to improve this disposition by having boundaries and limits. It does not matter if the client shares the same cultural beliefs from me, I have a lot of compassion and go an extra mile to help them. I get attach with clients right away because I see a connection with them. I have noticed that clients take advantage of my empathy. I need to work on how to understand my clients but also have limits with them so they will not take advantage of my kindness.
Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.
In this class, I have learned many new skills to improve my writing, and I have also learned new grammar rules. In regards to my writing, I have learned the importance of freewriting when beginning to write a paper. Additionally, I now know to allow ample time for revising and editing because I can look at my work critically for mistakes and make necessary changes. Furthermore, I have learned about grammar rules such as pronoun-antecedent agreement. This rule is something that I know subconsciously, but being made aware of it has allowed me to find mistakes I make more often.
While not a hugely transformative venture, I have found this semester to be a good vehicle for making my writing more accurate to its intended purpose. Prior to taking this class I did have some experience in professional writing for a few of the jobs I've had in the past, but this class organized those thoughts, gave them name, and pointed out where and how to pursue them. Its been an enlightening experience and provided me with tools I hope to use the rest of my life.
Owing to various reasons, I learnt a lot over break. Whether it was through writing these journals, or just through being home for a significant amount of time for the first time since I left for college, I gained a lot of insight about myself that I didn’t have before. I think the biggest realization I made is that I am the only one that can actually spark a change in me. I think most of the things I’ve written about have been in my head but I never took the time to go through them. I knew what I was doing wrong but never thought about how I could fix it and this break allowed me to go the extra step and think about that.
I've loved writing since I was a young child, especially creative writing. It allows me to express myself, and it seems almost magical to be able to create things simply by writing down a few symbols and twenty-six letters in various ways. I've written many fictional stories of various genres over the years. Unfortunately, while I have done a lot of creative writing, I haven't done as much academic writing. I would like this class to help me become the kind of student who earns A's on her papers by assisting me in becoming more efficient in the overall writing process.
According to Granovetter, whether a tie is strong or not is dependent on four factors: amount of time spent together, emotional intensity, intimacy, and reciprocity of services. I tend to define my personal networks as with lots of weak ties, and a few strong ties. Strong ties offer me emotional support and huge favors, and weak ties are good information sources.
1. The 2nd case study made me reflect on my first head coaching job in football. I was hired by a school in south Texas with the help of a friend I coached with in Oklahoma. He had moved back to his hometown and started teaching and coaching at his high school. He contacted me about the opening and two months later I was hired. I hired him to be one of my assistants and even made sure that he was paid well as a thank you. I was very disappointed with the way he coached that year. I had already make arrangements to move him to a non-coaching position for the next season. I realize I never spoke with him about my expectations or made him aware of how I felt during the season. I identity with Dr. Skinner is some regards. I was caught up in the other aspects of teaching, coaching, and AD duties, I neglected to take care of that issue. I understand that it is OK to hire a trusted colleague or friend but the expectations of them should not be any different of anyone else.
I have met many people, but I have not been able to maintain relationships with most of them. It is a very difficult to maintain a relationship, especially if you do not see them on a consistent basis. I have lost touch with multiple people in my life that I really would have loved to have still been friends with. One in particular is Lydia Dixon.
It was finally the end of third period and everyone eagerly left class to go to lunch. I wasn't a big fan of lunch because I had no one to sit with witch made me stand out in a crowed making it easy for my tormentors to track me down. "Hey loser" someone snarls from behind me. I turn around to find myself facing Laurie, she's always picked in me for as long as I can remember no after awhile she someone found herself a boyfriend who started doing the same.
In order to best understand the three primary schools of the International Political Economic (IPE), it’s necessary to analyze the varying views intellects within each school. There are three primary schools, liberalism, Marxism, and economic nationalism, with liberalism being the most accepted in our modern day. It seems that the film Shock Doctrine, which is based off of the book by Naomi Klein utilizes theories of Marxism and Liberalism most heavily. Klein in particular seems to learn more towards Marxist school of thoughts throughout her work, as she focuses on how the United States push for free market capitalism has effected regions dealing with disaster.
