This critical review has evaluated the chapter Attitude: Studying for Knowledge from the book Ready, Study, Go by Khurshed Batliwala and Dinesh Ghodke. The theories put forward by Batliwala and Ghodke are intriguing and they did a good job of illustrating these theories with their personal experiences. Nevertheless, this writing is weakened by the presence of bias, overarching assumptions Ghodke occasionally makes, and sometimes overly technical and verbose
Elizabeth Proctor and I “If you think I am one, then I say there are none”, this quote was said by Elizabeth Proctor. Elizabeth said this when she was accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials. Although Elizabeth was accused of witchcraft she was not hung. Elizabeth and I have very similar personality traits such as honest, unforgiving, and loyal.

Is it socially acceptable behaviour for people to dedicate their lives to an object? Sure, one might say. People have passions and hobbies; these “objects” are worked hard for and should be enjoyed. Although most would say that this type of behaviour is not how normal people should live and that life’s fruition lies in the hands of social interaction; we can only truly enjoy life in the company of other humans, not objects. Where is the line drawn? Is it possible to cling on to a possession so much that it starts to detrimentally affect the person involved? W.D. Valgardson’s short story The Novice demonstrates that this is certainly a possibility. The protagonist undergoes a similar situation; he gets caught up in idealism (glamorizing
King Julien, Bellwether, and Bruce were some of the lower scoring leaders when it came to the trait approach analysis. Transactional Analysis may be another way to measure success in leadership as is trait approach. Animal leaders that tend to shift back and forth between ego states tend to have poor leadership outcomes. If we look again at Dory, Judy, and Skipper we don’t see very many or very dramatic shifts out their adult rational ego state. The traits that correlate with the shifting between ego states are emotional stability, openess, consciousness, and critical thinking. Emotional stability is probably the most significant out of the bunch. When a person is stressed and begins to teeter on his or her threshold of emotional stability
“Not many women got to live out the daydream of women—to have a room, even a section of a room, that only gets messed up when she messes it up herself.”
I don’t know much about Bethune-Cookman University other than it’s a HBCU in Florida. However, the overall premise of this writer’s opinion is that both the university and law school are guiding students too low to no opportunities to practice law and high debt. That’s an issue. I agree with the writer, students need the grids. Information provided early in the students’ college career is imperative. Prepare students academically and they will compete. Both Bethune-Cookman and Arizona Summit need to put the interests of the students first and not see them as revenue for their survival.
In chapter 2 the book takes about how positive emotions can impact positive critical thinking, furthermore positive emotions can also impact relationships and your ability to make reasonable decisions. The chapter also followed up on how negative emotions can lead to negative critical thinking. I agree with this, I've had past experiences were I took a positive approach to the situation and they way I thought affected the situation enormously. In high school my history teacher also told us about how her father had cancer and had at least two years. When he was told that he didn’t take on a negative and sad approach like many people do when they find out something as crucial as having cancer. Unlike others he took on more of a positive approach
HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE INTERVENTION THAT MAY REVERSE THE FACTORS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF BECOMING FRAIL
According to definitions in The Buckingham report (2010), there are similarities and differences between the terms sexual and sexualised. ‘Sexual’ refers to sexual acts and expressions, whereas sexualised is defined as the construction of these sexual behaviours and displays. This is usually obtained by being objective as a sexual being instead of being viewed as a person with equal rights and feelings towards sex. This definition highlights the term sexual as a representation to healthy sex for the appropriate person and sexualisation as being damaging to those how are both physically and mentally not equipped to understand it or stand against it (DCSF, 2009 cited in Kehily, M.J., 2014. p 239). The growing concerns of both parents and organisations, including government ones are thought to have been on the rise for some time now. They are concerned with the sexualised portrayal of children much too young to comprehend its meaning and also claim this has led to the increased rate of mental health issues over the years and is all due to the modern age of media, commercialisation and internet. This essay will attempt to answer the following questions; Is early sexualisation on the rise? What evidence is there to suggest this? What evidence is there to refute these claims? What are the implications of the early sexualisation of children? It will conclude with a statement on whether the fears of early sexualisation are justified or purely a case of widespread panic in a modern
My thinking about living with an open and critical mind has definitely both been challenged and changed through this experience. During this experience I gave up drinking soda and only replaced it with water. I took a personality test and learned a lot about why I am the way that I am. Also, I started journaling for my emotional health and well being.
Legal Analysis and Critique Essay An understanding of different legal theories and relevant historical context can assist in the development of a critical analysis of case decisions. Critical analysis on court decisions can be formulated on legal theories that were present and relevant historical context that could have impacted the final decision made by the judges of the court. With the use of legal theories such as legal positivism and legal formalist and historical context such as constitutional rights Indigenous Australians possessed and recent developments like Mabo and Native Title Act, a critical analysis can be formed for the decision in Walker v New South Wales (1994) 182 CLR 45.
Cleaning up down South: supermarkets, ethical trade and African horticulture is a piece by Susanne Freidberg published in Social and Cultural Geography journal in 2003 (Freidberg, 2003). Susanne Friedberg holds PhD from UC Berkely and is a Professor of Geography in Darmouth College, New Hampshire (“Susanne Freidberg,” n.d.). In the article the author argues that the ethical standards have become fetishised. The UK supermarkets compliance with such standards edges on paranoia. It does not mean that the supermarkets care about these standards from moral point of view but that the compliance is driven by fear of bad
I was most embarrassed when I I tend to get embarrassed when I make mistakes especially publicly. But I would say failure is my biggest embarrassment, not that I get embarrassed about failing someone else. I get embarrassed when I fail myself, I don’t ever like to be second best or be less than what I think I’m worth. I’ve always strived for perfection, even though I know this isn't attainable I try to get as closely as possible to it. Failure embarrasses me because I feel like I let myself down, even though I’m not disappointing anyone else, disappointing myself is just as bad. Nobody likes to fail, even worse yet nobody likes to be embarrassed. I need to accept that I can’t do everything right all the time and try not to be embarrassed.
