Making sense of Creativity and Conceptual Performance In this first summary paper I will focus on the article called “Looking Inside the Fishbowl of Creativity: Verbal and Behavioral Predictors of Creative Performance,” written by John Ruscio, Dean M. Whitney, and Teresa M. Amabile. I will break this summary paper to three headings focused first on the preliminary of the research based upon educated guesses by the researching authors, second the research conducted to answer the questions pertaining

: Chapter 1, Making Sense of the World Differently, was extremely stimulating and eye-opening. It made me sit back and reflect on some things in my life. The parts that captivated me the most, was the sections on The Rarity of Sociological Mindfulness and Continuing Conversation. I agree with Schwalbe’s points that society values money and status, while issues with society are sort of swept under the rug. We live in the United States of America, one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the

Rhetorical Analysis of The Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime” Kenneth Burke’s Five Master Terms exist to bring to light the motivation behind, theoretically, any bit of text to which we care to apply them. The beauty of this Pentad is its fundamentality in regards to the motivations humans have in creating words and meaning using the tools of language available. This doesn’t just apply to long-winded theses regarding the nature of dramatistic meaning, though perhaps something

The physical world is all that exists. In their book, Making Sense of Your World: A Biblical Worldview, Phillips, Brown, and Stonestreet (2008), state that atheists believe the world is “governed by purely natural causes and processes, without any supernatural intervention or oversight” (p. 151). To the atheist

Rollo May once said, “A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence (“Rollo May Quotes”). In most ancient cultures, mythology served the purpose of explaining unknown information about natural disasters, origins of the world, among others. Many religions worshiped various deities and, occasionally, each deity played an important role in one or more specific part of an individual’s life; for example, some religions worshiped

Making Sense of the US Labour Market The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) makes no secret that it attaches a higher policy weight to seemingly tight labour market conditions vis-à-vis low inflation readings. Given this bias, therefore, it is essential that the FOMC accurately assesses whether the economy is indeed at full employment. The Fed’s econometric of the US economy embraces the so-called Phillips Curve, a statistical relationship that depicts an inverse relationship between the unemployment

The main part of this song is talking about disregarding everything and making my own way through life, which I also do, especially the disregard everything part. This song very accurately represents me as a person, and I can also use it to talk about some things that I experienced in 8th grade. A lot of stuff happened, good

responding respectfully to what they have to say. When entering into a conversation that encompasses different perspectives, I keep in the back of my mind different categories that test worldviews. Phillips, Brown, and Stonestreet (2008) in their book, Making Sense of Your World: A Biblical Worldview, present three main categories. The first category is that of reason.

Cynthia Enloe’s book titled Nimo’s War, Emma’s War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War allows readers to enter the lives of eight women; four American and four Iraqi, in order to better understand the everyday lives of people, their struggles, and the outcomes of war by using particular stories of women to bring together issues present globally.
