The narrator knew she was depressed because she had awakened everyday for a period of time feeling down, worrying about bills and the man in her life vacationing with his ex. She had consulted with a doctor who wanted to prescribe her medication, which she was not opened to. She knew what would make her “happy” again even if it wasn’t a good idea at the time. She wanted to go winter camping with her dogs in weather that reached almost 40 degrees below zero putting not only herself in harm’s way, but her dogs as well. I feel like she suggests that in order to take the steps to get better or come out of depression you have to work on yourself and do things that make you happy and/or feel good. Everyone does not know how to do this and sometimes medication is needed to avoid any self harm etc. With this being said, I feel her claim does have merit because this method worked for her and possibly thousands of people including myself. I

Hi Barnedia, in your discussion, you mentioned that the way an individual responds to a conflict depends on his or her life experience, personal growth and development, and upbringing. I agree with that statement, however, you point out that all person involves in a conflict do not experience the four stages, to which I will have to disagree. Considering the four stages of a conflict, Frustration, Conceptualization, action, and outcome, everyone passes through these stages. Yoder-wise (2015). In order for a conflict to arise, someone has to be frustrated about something, has his or her conception of the situation. An action will be taken whether it’s by avoidance, accommodation, compromising or cooperating and this depends on they life experience

I find that my desire to avoid can put off the wrong vibe to those under my care. The last thing I want people to think of me when it comes to conflict is that I attempt to avoid it at all cost. That can be casted in a negative light. The greatest room for improvement for me in this area is using this style more out of habit than using it when necessary. Since I scored high, there is a good chance I am overusing this style. I have to be more intentional in how I deal with conflict. Though I tend to see conflict as a disruption in the flow and the work at hand and in my opinion it causes unnecessary stress so I only attempt to address it when it is unavoidable. This can hurt my leadership position in a lot of cases and I must learn to use it

Skills and approaches you will need for resolving conflicts are managing your stress levels, remaining calm in all situations, being aware of both verbal and non-verbal communication, by making sure you do not use any jargon and talking so everyone involved can understand you. Make sure you control your emotions and behaviour towards others, as aggressive behaviour can be intimidating. Avoid threatening others, pay attention to the feelings being expressed as well as the spoken words. Respect the differences of the individual, develop a readiness to forgive and forget. Have the ability to compromise, try and find a way to resolve the situation. Try to avoid making assumptions and accusations, as this can make the situation much worse. You must try not to over generalise and stick to the facts of what went on. Active listening plays a big part in trying to resolve conflict, as the person will feel that you are paying attention to them.

IRTC spoke with Detective Jones who reported that she responded to Montefiore Hospital and was able to observe the subject child. Detective Jones conveyed that ECS also made a visit to the Montefiore Hospital to observe the subject child.

Detective Jones added that when the subject child was observed at the hospital, the injury

In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels examines the class struggle. According to Marx and Engels, the Bourgeoisie are the middle class, the people who are self employed, who own the land, resources, factories and other means of production. The Proletariat are the people who do not own the means of production and work for people who own them. In order for it to succeed, the bourgeoisie must constantly revise and renew the means of production in order to ensure a constant infusion of capital by building larger cities, and securing cheaper commodities. The unfairness in class was shown through the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels and through Animal Farm by George Orwell. These two sources highlight the unfairness in class in which the oppressed fight against their oppressors. My argument in which power destroys both the individual and society because too much power corrupts an individual leading to his downfall and that of society.

On a crisp autumn day in 2016, while hidden away from the cares of my daily routine in my family room, I was called upon to elaborate on an important aspect of my life. It took some time for consideration to determine how to best portray a journey I have taken in managing conflict, as I am not a young woman. Decades filled with the blessings of being the mother of disabled children, years lived as a single parent, as well as the process of maturation, tempered by the fires of adversity, have molded me into who I am today. As I reflected, I wondered if would I know how to deal with conflict as I do now without the life experiences I have had? Certainly not! The following paragraphs will describe my primary conflict style and why I use it, how I have changed constructively in this area, how the other four styles of conflict management may serve me, and where I hope to arrive as I continue to make my way along the journey of my life.

Since I forced myself to stay motivated throughout the unit I was learning, I felt I was improving a lot than before. I knew most things in the unit and would mostly aced every quiz. I study harder each day, eliminating my distraction and thinking about it benefiting my grade. I was still procrastinating throughout my study, but this didn’t stop me for completing my goal which was to ace the test. At the end, I manage to actually get an A- and bring my grade up by a lot.

Political cartoons can be humorous and revealing, but they are also a powerful way to start debates, especially in the rhetorical situation of a presidential election. A cartoon that discusses Trump in a security briefing by Chris Britt, shown in the US News and World Report on August 22, 2016, displays the traits of a political cartoon by creating discussion about the presidential election. This cartoon depicts Trump showing the military generals a list of who he wants to attack, which leads to the generals telling him that he will not have access to the nuclear codes. Britt's cartoon effectively utilizes many of the elements of a cartoon to entertain a broad audience while spurring discussion about whether Trump is fit to be in charge of our nation.

Both activities have shown me that the definition of a complex problem is in itself complex (Funke, 1991) and is subject to many interpretations by different researchers (Gray, 2002 and Wenke et al, 2005). It has also shown me that presenting a problem in a different manner can affect how the solutions are thought about (Gambrill, 2006).

The reason that most people High School don’t have good study skills is because they were not taught proper study habits in Elementary School, where this should be taught.

Since the first days of the beginning of class I have always thought about how I was going to change, whether it would be academically and personally. Let me personally that, I have changed for the better as a student and as a person. I have strengthen many skills such as how to properly complete argumentative and narrative essays. Similarly, I have enhance my abilities on how to use useful words into my papers in order to get the point across to the reader. Likewise, I learned on how to connect similar or contrasting ideas to come up with a new comprehensive idea for the research papers that I have written for the class. In essence, I consider myself as, not only a better writer and student, but also a better person, now I am more capable
