Reflection On Civic Mirror

An average citizen can engage in civic life many ways. The ways are important even though that individual participates in that activity only once. One of the ways is to start where they are. This means that the person does not need to know everything. They are bound to make mistakes simply because they are not perfect and it is through those mistakes that they going to learn and get better. The second is to take things step by step. In everything there is a process and there is an order to doing it therefore it is important to take thing one-step at a time. The

When learning information about important facts, dates, and the influential people who made up U.S. history, I do not remember learning much of anything regarding the Irish, Chinese, or Japanese. Well, except for Pearl Harbor and the U.S. retaliating against Japan by dropping atomic bombs. I definitely learned that people from around the world immigrated by boat across vast amounts of ocean for a chance to thrive in the land of freedom called America. I learned that millions of people entered through Ellis Island in the late nineteenth century, looking upon the Statue of Liberty, in hopes of finding their right to life, liberty, and happiness. I learned that the majority of these people were stricken of their identities and provided new American names that were easier to pronounce. I did not however, learn about the great discrimination and hardship that these people suffered at the hands of white Americans. The major theme presented is labor discrimination, unequal and unfair pay, long hours, and harsh working and living environments in regards to the Mexican Americans, Chinese, and Japanese. Takaki (2008) paints a vivid picture of discrimination and suffering of the people known as the “others” living and working in the multicultural “melting pot” United States, in his book A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America.

I entered the field with an interest in fluency and participated in the National Stuttering Association in Queens, New York. The stutter started in my teens and faded away in my early adulthood.  I researched speech language pathology and came upon all the different aspects of this field since the definition of speech pathology is broad. I knew I wanted to specialize in stuttering when I was a teenager. This changed when I was in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program in my undergrad. This program exposed me to different classes and observations of communication disorders in a variety of age ranges. This exposed me to adult population as well in which I gained an interest because of their lack of tantrums and willingness to gain back

1) What are the three (3) biggest lessons you learned from your experience in The Civic Mirror?

Windshield surveys are the motorized equivalent of simple observation. They involve the generation of data that helps to define the community, the trends, stability, and changes that all serve to define the health of the community (Stanhope, 2012, p. 409-410). I choose to use the Pilgrim Park neighborhood for my windshield Survey which I conducted on November 1st, 2017 around 11 o 'clock am.

Authorization is an imperative component for any society. Civic Mirror taught our class the necessity for bureaucracy in today’s life. Government enforces correct behavior in organizing every individual for further equality. In civic mirror, Congress composed laws to reinforce civility. If citizens acted against this reinforcement, a trial would be held. In addition to emphasized legislation, administration of necessary goods also justifies the importance for government. The provided prices for essentials were very inexpensive compared to the private marketers. The primary action the authority takes is implementing God-given rights. In the taught simulation, every individual was granted the right to a fair trial, for every case required an impartial jury. The importance of government is integral in the provision of necessary guidance to its citizens as shown through Civic Mirror.

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

While it’s true—I had a blast using the Civic Mirror, and as much as it taught me about how Parliament passes laws and the political process, it has some serious omissions: there is no Governor General, there is only one level of government, and there is no Senate.

In conclusion, Tell It Slant is a great resource for students when they are developing new technques in their writing.Furthermore, after examine this edition I felt that by adding these additional pieces students we will be well prepared to write any form of literature. In fact, I sternly believe these pieces will encourage students to find a voice in their writing. In addition, this edition also offers the differnt types of writing and how one should incorporate their ideas with creativity. Subsequently, the literature discussed above will not only add a wider variety for students to study, but it will also encourage them to make the piece their own by adding different components like these authors have.

I have a lot of lenses I believe. Four of them I think are, first I am Mexican, second my mission, third I am very loving because I am the only girl in the family, and fourth I am a person who knows how to value.

This book has most definitely left a lasting impression on me and I am glad I had the opportunity to read it. I enjoyed it because although I’m not one who usually enjoys reading books, this was told in a different way and was very interesting to me.

Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with a mental illness called bipolar disorder. It wasn’t as much as a shock when they explained it to me, for I always had that slight suspicion that I might be bipolar. Although the condition has always been there with me, the symptoms were more apparent to me after that day. This condition has made it really hard for me to function in school and at home. For a while now, I’ve let it completely take me over because I didn’t want to bother fighting something that felt stronger than me. I don’t think people truly understand how this affects me. Especially my parents, they’d refuse to accept that I have bipolar disorder. Trust me, I wouldn’t want it either but it isn’t something I can ignore. For years, I’ve made various attempts at guiding my parent’s attention to this. What finally made them realize how serious this was to me was my art. Art has helped me through a lot ever since I started getting depressed, so I see it fit to make my concept based on I feel.

Day 1: We left the College on Saturday, the 6th of May. The flight departed at 11:45 and we didn’t arrive at Biarritz until 2:50. Then we got a bus from the airport to St Jean Pied de Port, a small village at the base of the Pyrenees Mountains. When we got to St Jean, I was taken aback by the town. It was a mixture of old streets and building from centuries ago and modern roads and shops. We had a mass in the local parish before we got to explore the town. It was late by then so most of the shops were closed, but you still got a feel for the town as we strolled down the narrow streets. A parade was commencing when we were wandering around that was celebrating the Basque Region’s heritage. They were dressed in their traditional clothes and were waving the Basque flag. I didn’t know about the Basque Region’s fight for independence before then but Mr. Mccormack explained it to me. To greatly simplify it, the citizens of the Basque Region believe they shouldn’t be members of France and Spain because they have their own traditions, customs and lifestyles that oppose those of the French and Spanish. After exploring the town we returned to the hotel, reflected on the day, ate dinner, and then went to bed.
