All of us have formed habits in our daily life. Even though some of these habits only exist in our subconscious and we cannot actually make sure whether they are real or only the conjectures. But it is undoubted that all of our behaviors are influenced by our desires on specific objectives. In the book, the power of habit, Charles Duhigg explained the definition of a habit as an effort-saving instinct. “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making” (20). To support his opinions on habits, he introduced the three-step model of a habit loop, the theory of golden rule of habit, and the role of a craving brain and belief in the process of a habit changing.

“Hello mother, father, this is your Louie talking. This will be the first time in two years that you’ve heard my voice. I am now interned at a Tokyo prisoner of war camp and I’m being treated as well as can be expected under wartime conditions.” As a viewer we can see the look of pure disgust and longing upon Louie’s face. It was evident that he wasn’t eager to read what was prepared for him as it depicted a false perception of what his wartime conditions were truly like. The fact that he had to make it seem like he was well when in fact he was anything but. I am now able to understand that what those in society often herd about their captured soldiers was quite often incorrect. The enemy wanted to portray an image that hid the true conditions and circumstances the American soldiers were subject to. I not only found this film inspiring as it showed the resilience American soldiers had whilst confined in the prisoner of war camps but also found it interesting as it showed the truths of war so vividly in way that could never be achieved through the use of written words. As a result of this film I am able to see how much we owe these men for our freedom, we were never truly able to appreciate the sacrifice made by those men and women until viewing this incredible film. They went through so much to ensure the freedom of many generations to come and if it wasn’t for these men who knows what our lives would be like today.

Chapter 1 of your textbook includes, on page 9, Table 1.1, “Managing Change: Some Lessons from the Four Stories.” Review the four “lessons” (bullet points) on the table, and think about what some of the key “learning points” you gleaned about change from these stories. Then, do one of two things:1. Post the top three learning points you gleaned from the stories, and include how the stories for change helped you learn these points, or2. Research one of the four companies and see how or if that company has since changed (yet more) since the time of the book’s publication. How did that recent change fit with or not fit in with the “lessons” that the textbook mentions the company “learned” from their original set of changes? Explain what you

The reason this distinction is important is in the scenario where a loss may be incurred. If this activity is classified as a business any losses may be deducted whereas if it were classified as a hobby, the losses would not be able to be deducted. Also, when classified as a business she is allowed more deductions such as first year expenses and auto expenses. As a hobby she may only deduct expenses up to as much as her income. Expenses in excess of hobby income are considered personal losses.

Students do not all learn the same, some students learn by seeing, others by hearing, and others through hands on experiences. As a future educator, it is important that I have flexibility in my teaching methods to ensure that I am able to accommodate unique learning styles of my students. I also feel that I need to remember how I was as a young student and the difficulties I experienced trying to understand simple math and reading simple passages. Additionally, I need to remember how my adolescent patients at the hospital described their experiences with teachers and school counselors and their lack of understanding of their mental health issues they were facing at the time. I feel that as a future educator, I need to inspire, encourage, and promote the healthy development in the personal/social, career, and educational domains of my students through enthusiasm, advocacy, and collaboration. I believe that all students are capable of being successful through appropriate support and differentiated instruction.
