Retrospectives I selected three autobiographical pieces and one analytical for the portfolio. The order is: "Multi-Threaded ThingTM," an autobiographical paper which took inspiration from the form of Susan Griffin's "Our Secrets," and represented my life by pseudocode written in different computer programming languages; "Autobiographical Comparison," which was a partially successful attempt to compare and contrast my beliefs with those of James Baldwin; "Virginia Woolf: Assertive or Introspective

that allow us to remember past information (retrospective memory) and future obligations (prospective memory) so we can navigate our lives. The strength of our memory can be influenced by the connections we make through different cognitive faculties as well as by the amount of time we spend devoting to learning specific material across different points in time. New memories are created every time we remember specific event, which results in retrospective memories changing over time. Memory recall

Socialization is a learning process that begins after birth. People act in accordance to the feedback and reactions they get from others. We learn who we are by family, friends, and the people around us. Socialization is an important process of our personality, language and behavior. It is not always a conscious or an intentional transference, and people are not always aware that they might be influencing someone in a social situation.

In this retrospective cohort study, data was taken from the 2009 National Survey of Reproductive and Contraceptive Knowledge to assess attitudes towards contraceptive use. Research shows that half of pregnancies in the US are unintended. In addition, African American and Hispanic females are less likely to use contraception compared to Caucasian females.

Given this fact and because of previous research, researchers of this study were interested in examining not only one, but both PM and RM in normal aging and dementia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of

Anthropological analyses always starts with a question, and, in regards to Mythology, majority of the questions are asked in retrospect. This “retrospective analysis” is a very scientific and alienating way of approaching myth- a cultural component who’s roots are planted in a deeply social and emotional practices. Years of inquiry and speculation have resulted in anthropologists coming up with numerous methodologies and practices to explain exactly how one needs to approach the study of myth thats

Retrospective Analysis of Personality Intro to Psychology August 31, 2014 I found doing this paper quite exciting to a certain point, until I really took a moment to glance back into my life and see the changes that have taken place. Through the years I have wondered what made me change my personality towards the way I look at things but now I see why. I drastically made those changes due to the different people and environments I have been. My personality started out as helping anyone I could

The retrospective study conducted by Hwang, et al, included 15 ALD patients who underwent LDLT from February 1997 to December 2003. The mean pre-transplant abstinence period was 15 ± 13 months, with 11 (73.3%) patients being abstinent for at least 6 months. Three patients showed a relapse to alcohol drinking. The relapse rates in patients who did and did not maintain 6 months of abstinence were 9.1% and 50%. The study found that pre-transplant abstinence of 6 months seemed to be beneficial and a

Retrospective Evaluation Looking at the first issue I listed above, unionizing the new positions can be beneficial to some and possibly detrimental to others. Understanding that this is an experimental after school program, the “teachers” which are supplied might possibly be paid, but they should be acting on their own behalf and not necessarily as employees of the school anymore. The benefit would simply be having a certified teacher helping out with the children. Allowing them to become a union
