Self Analyzation Throughout this semester I have learned an abundance of knowledge. I have learned a lot about assignments and things that I can do better to benefit me.One thing I have learned I need to improve is my ability to follow directions. Another thing I have learned I can work on is my ability to plan out the task I have at hand. The third aspect I have learned that I need to improve my abilities on is my researching skills. There is never a point where you can't improve something. Following directions is an area that I feel I lack abilities in. I feel that it is one of the many reasons my grades suffer as they did. I would just listen to the teacher and that would be all. I never looked on canvas and paid close attention
In C.D. Wright’s complex investigation called One Big Self, the author twists around different views and social norms of convicts by exposing the side of prisoners that not many think about. This piece proves to be a culture shock, because of the twisted message of prisoners having a soft side, along with the unique style and conventions that the writing is delivered through with the odd layout of stanzas, fragmented quotes, and different fonts. The bizarre environment of the prison from which C.D. Wright finds her information proves to be rare and original because she uses her book as a metaphor to relate to the prisoners, which no other author has completed before. When reading One Big Self, readers feel that the book is hard to approach and not easy to understand because the tone is not accessible. By using this type of style, the author relates her writing to how people identify and relate with criminals, like those in
I have titled this document with consideration of the audience I am writing to. They would not be too familiar with any particular discipline
One area I have improved on throughout this semester is my thinking and writing process. Before this semester, my thinking process was to wait until the end of
During my first semester, I have taken a lot from Composition and Speech. I wrote four essays and gave five speeches. I feel like my writing has improved a lot in the past four months and I have gained a lot of knowledge that will serve me well in the future.
The biggest thing I learned this semester is where to appropriately place commas and how parallel structure is really important. I never really noticed how much simple commas could change a whole story. Parallel structure is probably going to help me out a lot later in life especially in college because it just sounds better. It sounds more professional when you write things and the flow goes along with it. I learned that having people read over your work is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. It helps a lot when other people can help you see the mistakes you may have missed a thousand times before.
Throughout one’s lifetime changes in a person’s views toward life are inevitable. Those changes can be seen as either positive or negative based on the experiences a person goes through. Some changes are seen as internal while others are seen as external. For instance, in Monkey by Wu Cheng-en and Candide by Francois-Marie Arouet De Voltaire, both authors are using their characters to portray self-discovery by having them go through a series of obstacles. As a result the characters changed their attitude toward life through the many obstacles that they had to undergo. Self-discovery is an essential part of a person’s life which can be seen internally or externally through a person’s characteristics and
The knowledge in The Divided Self is acquired by an empirical phenomenological method. After setting all theories and knowledge methodically aside, Laing shared patients’ lived experiences and reflectively described what is essential to these individuals’ psychology. Although it is often naively presumed that case studies can provide only idiographic knowledge, Laing found many commonalities, enabling him to describe one general path to schizophrenia.
Looking at the various options from Thursday's readings, I would like to recant my previous opinion for the soul to be the enduring self. Looking at the course material, I would still agree with this. To add in this weeks readings I think Hegel is onto something with the power struggle and the heading of the Relational self.
I am a fast worker; I easily find ways on how to get things done. Basing from the comments I have earned from my supervisor during my On-the-job training, she said that I am an accurate and fast worker.
One of the hardest things to do is to figure out who you are as a person. For a long time I thought I knew who I was. My parents taught me to be selfless and kind despite what others do to me. I lived a life sheltered from the harsh truth that sometimes being kind all the time leaves the door open for someone to walk all over you. The people that showed me this side of the world were none other than the girls I called my best friends. After that, I learned a little something about myself and something that I could teach other people. I learned about being confident in myself and that standing up for yourself makes you a stronger person,
Each person possess a series of strengths and weaknesses that compile their persona. After an analysis of my traits and abilities, I conclude I show strength in cooperating with people, and in communication. When working with other people, I believe everyone has the same potential and capabilities. I do not rank or judge anybody on the level of their intelligence or additional factors. Each and every person had amazing capabilities, and that is why I also attempt to listen to everybody’s thoughts and ideas, and see through their eyes. For instance, in science class, we were supposed to get into groups of five and create an experiment. To come up with an experiment, my group had decided to pick a topic we all found interesting and to formulate
In an attempt to find self-validation and because of the need to understand my own existence, I made a deep analysis of my ancestral
At the beginning of the semester we were asked to review our strengths and weaknesses as writers. In the first discussion post I stated, “My first weakness [is that] I have trouble concluding thoughts and, upon review, often have a rambling mess on my hands” (Multani). Although my first project was to the point and concise, most likely due to the brevity of the project, with the greater word limit for the second project, it was something I, again, struggled with. For example in my first draft, I often caught myself repeating things for two sentences in a row, or restating something I had already stated. From a rhetorical standpoint, I think it weakens the impact of the argument made if each sentence’s core idea is a repetition of stated information.
This last semester, Fall, has been really beneficial to me. During this semester, I worked in many projects including four essays, grammar exercises, and other group activities. Although in the beginning of the semester I had some problems drafting and mainly revising my essays, now I feel more prepared to deal with all of these.
I did learn a lot at first semester. First and the most important things that I think I learned is that time-planning which helped me organized the time well which dragged me out of the mass life, at least I know what I need to do and never forget and late for the homework. In my opinion, organized time well is important no matter on study or in lives which can always inform us what we need to do and what time is available for us to do other things that make life more orderly. Besides, I also learned how to use resource that afford by school. Before the facilitator told me those resources, there had so many things that I have no idea who could help me. After knowing this, I felt like open a door that to a continent life for me. I have to say that there have so many resources for me in school, I can do anything with the help of them and which really makes me feel easy
