Transformative Learning Following the ONE Decision seminar, a transformative learning shift resonated with me. Jack Mezirow, professor and leading Transformative Learning thinker describes, “Transformative learning refers to the process by which we transform our taken-for-granted frames of reference (meaning perspectives, habits of mind, mind-sets) to make them more inclusive, discriminating, open, emotionally capable of change, and reflective so that they may generate beliefs and opinions that

comes to mind when it comes to aviation are Wilburn and Orville; the wright brothers; Kitty Hawk North Carolina, when the Wright brothers made the first heavier-than-air, machine powered flight which lasted 12 seconds. Before those guys, many studies by brilliant minds, such as De Rozier, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton has been set in place which lead to this 12 second flight by the wright brothers in 1903. It was the matter of time after the first power aircraft

Assumptions are necessary for us to function as humans, if we did not make assumptions we would have died out as a species long ago. In the film "Atonement", director Joe Wright tells the story of a young Briony who has chosen to tell a terrible lie, one that will forever disconnect her from her sister, her happiness, and herself. This text begs the question of assumptions; why we need to understand them, why we need to know when to admit they are wrong, and why we need to be able to accept the

Have you ever had a life changing moment? Many individuals have faced life changing experiences like Feng Ru in the “Father of Chinese Aviation”, like Jackie Robinson in ‘I Never Had It Made’, and like Melba Pattillo Beals in ‘Warriors Don’t Cry.’ Jackie Robinson was a very important man to American history because he was the first black major league baseball player. Some might think it was easy for Jackie Robinson, but it was quite the opposite. He received stacks of hate mail, threats to his

If companies or people wish to donate money, all checks or money orders would need to be payable to SEICAA. If money is donated, a log would need to be kept indicating the donator’s name and the amount that they donated. Aside from that, supplies or clothing can be bought but all receipts would have to be put with the log to keep track of what was bought. Each person will have roles and responsibly for five boxes. Klea and Blythe will be responsible for the Pocatello area, Ariana will be responsible

Many years ago, the term "American Dream" can be defined as the hope that anyone no matter their religion, race, ethnicity can be successful, as long as there is hard work and dedication. Many people across the United States think that if they're rich than they're already successful in life even if they haven't worked a day in their lives. Does the American Dream still exist? Yes, the American Dream still exist, because everyone has an equal amount of opportunity and has an equal amount hard work

I was hesitant to watch “Baby Driver,” despite liking the trailers and talent involved, because I have yet to see a full Edgar Wright film. I’ve seen parts of “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” I liked what I saw, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to have my introduction to Wright be his fifth film. Well, my willpower broke and I’m happier for it. “Baby Driver” focuses on the eponymous Baby (Ansel Elgort), a getaway driver working for a crime boss (the now disgraced Kevin

had clutched at books...” ― Richard Wright, Black Boy this is a quote from the famous Richard Wright an African American author. This quote means that no matter what was placed in his way or what he lacked that others had he hung on to what he had and did what he could. And the more he read about the world, the more he longed to see it and make a permanent break from the Jim Crow South. "I want my life to count for something," he told a friend. Richard Wright wanted to make a difference in the world

In the late 1890s they would begin to experiment with gliders of their own. They knew they had to master the art of controlling flight before they could invent this mechanical flyer. Much of their early ideas with gliders would be derived from bicycles as they felt bicycles and flyers were not as different as they seemed. The bicycle required stability and they compared it to the need for lateral balance in a flyer. Orville thought this problem could be solved with the wings. He figured if they pilot

Orville and Wilbur Wright were no exceptions to this. In their quest for manned mechanical flight these two men would shock the world of flight with their new provoking ideas. The wright brothers would go on to design the first sustainable automated craft. The Wright brothers were arguably the greatest innovators of the 20th century and would go on to transform man’s dream of flying and have a long-lasting effect on flying machines a In 1867 Wilbur wright was born the third of seven wright children.
