Reflection On The Environment

The aim of this essay is to highlight the importance of reflection. Initially by breaking down individual skills including curriculum vitae (CV) writing, book and journal evaluation and self-evaluation through sources such as the initial skills identification tasks and evaluation workbook (InSITE).

While I started my volunteer educational program, another man was well ensconced in his own. Al Gore took up a cause that many people seemed to be ignoring, our environment. The issues of climate change and general environmentalism are very important to me. I see similarities between the challenges of managing a clean environment for our globe and the challenges of managing good health to me. Through concerted efforts to make routine changes we have the capacity to live more ecologically friendly, and often healthier lives. I have seen that with just a few adjustments, I can control my diabetes to the point where most people do not even know I have it. Likewise, I believe that if we commit to making fundamental changes in the way we go about our lives, we can easily remedy several environmental issues we face today. By going to Berkeley Law School and focusing on Environmental Law, I can apply my own life’s lessons

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

Teaching environmental responsibility is an important aspect of students’ education. The lesson will focus on studying the consequences of the Dust Bowl and the Chernobyl Disaster on the U.S. and the Eastern Europe. Discovering reasons and analyzing impacts of these catastrophic disasters will help raise students’ awareness and understanding of the importance of making responsible environmental decisions. By instilling in students environmental awareness, the lesson also contributes to building lifelong habits and developing necessary skills which will allow students to make informed decisions and consequently responsible choices. Such choices have a positive impact on a community, society, nation and potentially the world.

Earth Conservation, Global Warming, and climate change has an impact on the entire world; however, this impact will be felt at various levels throughout the world. This is how my service-learning project can be tied into our course, because throughout this course we have learned that individuals have different privileges and are treated differently based on their identity, gender, race, ethnicity, and sex. Earth conservation in the same retrospect is also treated differently around, and will ultimately have different impacts as

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.

Everyone in my generation has probably grown up seeing ads or watching videos about pollution or about the environment in general, so much, to the point that these constant reminders about protecting our planet are already part of the norm for us. While these reminders have had positive effects, like how more and more people have become informed of the Earth’s condition, many people, myself included, still remain indifferent to the threats our environment faces. I won’t lie; I’m no saint or crusader for the cause, but every now and then certain videos or articles strike a chord within me and makes me reflect on the way how I’ve been living affects the environment. One such article was the one we read last week in class, “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert in the Upfront magazine.

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

Along with my love for the environment came a pain in watching it suffer around the world as human development encroached onto once untouched regions. I felt powerless and desperate to somehow use my individual influence, no matter how small, to slow the damage to the planet and lessen the impact a growing population was having as we dive deeper for resources.

I really enjoyed listening to Jim Belcher talk about the environment in class. His approaches to teaching awareness about environmental issues is new and unique and I really think that others will get more involved in protecting our environment if they listened to Mr. Belcher’s presentation. For so long we have fought arguments with anger and frustration and somethings have improved over time, but overall anger has not been the answer to everything. Anger does not solve the problem fully or at all and it tends to leads towards more problems. Mr. Belcher focuses on trying to solve the problems with the environment by using emotions, feelings, and images. His presentation really touched home for me and I felt more connected to the environment

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

Some things I learned about global warming was that global warming is not just affecting the Earth's temperature but also the sea levels. The sea Levels are rising which is causing there to be more frequent floods. Some pieces of land have even started to disappear. It was calculated that the sea level rise an average of 1.7 millimeters a year. I also got to research how Australia has been affected by droughts recently. I got to look at different maps that show how the drought has changed through the years. The drought that is going on in Australia is related to the main theme of this project, Global Warming, because the rising temperatures are evaporating the water used in the water cycle causing there to be less rain. For this project we also had to use comics to create a picture that shows global warming somehow. I got to learn how different shapes can be used or seen in different animals or objects in the world. The comics I used were hyperbolas, circles, ellipses, and parabolas. I learned how to really draw each of these shapes and write a proper equation for each shape I made. It is cool to see how all these comics can be used in real world

Thousands of climbers have reached the highest point on Earth, hundreds have left our planet 2 and ventured into space, but only two people have descended to the deepest point in the ocean. 3 Scientists are looking to discover water on other planets without fully knowing what is in our 4 own oceans. Bearing in mind the planet is over 70% water, no more than 5% of that has been 5 explored. I want to study Marine Biology because I want to understand the most fundamental 6 feature of our existence.

In Professor Monger’s class, we discuss not only climate change, but also a plethora of other topics that are of concern to the world around us. For example, class topics cover whale population, coral bleaching, sustainability, ocean conservation and many other matters in addition to climate change. What I have come to realize throughout the semester is that even the smallest changes make a positive impact on our environment. Over the

For our first big project of Semester Two in Geoscience Honors we had a fun assignment, we had to make an edible solar system. The first thing I did upon receiving this project was to think of what ingredients I could use to represent the planets, Sun, asteroids, stars, and poor, little Pluto. My initial idea was to use berries and others small fruits to represent objects in the solar system. However, most fruits are not the right shape, size, or mix of colors to perform the galactic roles I needed them to. I was inspired by a cake pop set I had and the cooking show Cake Boss to use dyed fondant and cake pops to represent the planets on top of a dark chocolate cake.
