Essays on Personal Experience

- The introduction of the essay seems too rhetorical to be interesting. It is also too wordy at the expense of clarity. The author should consider using simpler language that readers will be able to relate to. - The thesis statement is quite clear – the youngest child is ‘luckier’ than the oldest in a family’. The author has repeated it twice within the paragraph. However, the introduction does not include a summary of supporting facts, other than the author’s personal experience, to back the thesis. - Although the author does not explicitly state the purpose of the essay, ...

According to Lance Ulanoff, using Wikipedia as a source for writing any academic paper is not advisable. According to his article Wikipedia: You still can’t trust it, he expresses his feeling about Wikipedia saying that it should not be trusted to give any proper academic information. He had several arguments to support his claim why Wikipedia should not be trusted whatsoever. His main argument as to why we should not trust Wikipedia is that anyone can get access to a Wikipedia page and put any information they feel like without verifying whether the informat6ion is right or wrong. ...

Paul Roberts’ use of the college experience is different as compared to Eggers' use of the college experience. The reason for this is that in Roberts’ case he does not give college examples from his own experience. Rather, in his essay he makes up a fictional situation where students are required to write a 500-word essay over the weekend. Eggers uses examples drawn from his own personal experience while at college. He discusses how he was able to utilize his free time volunteering. Another difference in the use of the college experience is how easy college students can relate ...

Observation is the first possible way for each and every of us to learn something about the outside world in our lives. Children are copycatting the things like language, manners or the role models from parents and family. It is the initial method of acquiring information for every human being. But does it mean that this way of learning is the ultimate method of learning? In this paper, I will define this issue in the case of my personal experience. On the contrary, such way of perception of information can harm a student`s learning. Firstly, this method had ...

I can see several interesting ideas in this paper, and I like how the personal experience is included in it and analyzed in the theme’s perspective. In my viewpoint, the traits of the people are well-described and grounded, as well as a personal example. Different sides of leadership receive their proper attention, and the areas, in which personal work is needed are also identified. However, I should say that it is difficult to catch the ideas of the paper as a logical flow is not very good, and I think that if it were improved, the paper would ...

Essay Review – Dug Your Own Hole

- The introductory paragraph of the essay manages to hold the attention of the reader with its strong direct message, enhanced by the personal experience of the writer. The writer manages to familiarize himself to the reader right at the beginning of the essay but he might need to tone down the subjective tone of the essay in future since not every reader may be able to relate to his experiences. - A distinct thesis statement is present right at the start of the introduction which helps the reader to grasp the overall concept of the essay without putting ...

The main objective of the workshop was to evaluate the role of women in the accounting profession and to explore strategies that could help women to succeed in their careers. Michelle Bigley, the speaker, sets the framework for further discussion already in the very beginning of her speech by suggesting that accounting is dominated by men. Based on this premise, she continues the speech by recommending some strategies that could help women to succeed in their careers. She discusses the right attitude to work, suggests ways to interact with colleagues and elaborates on building relationships with the boss. While ...

Week One

This week, we examined the definitions of key terms which are pertinent to the course. I personally felt that this week’s study was crucial to furthering my understanding of the overall subject: this week provided a foundation on which all other knowledge could be built. In particular, the discussion of the definitions of ‘power’ was of interest to me as I find it to be such an ambiguous term which many misconstrue as being associated with tyranny, evil and social discontent. However, I have realised that this is only one form of power and ...

PERSONAL ASSESSMENT

For all the students in any learning institution there is always one suitable way in which learning appears easier. Among the styles used I found auditory the most suitable method as I got to understand whatever I was taught. Any explanations the teacher made on the course work in graphs, handouts and other notes given by the teacher, I realized it was easy to remember than when I read for myself. Moreover the teacher gave practical examples that are easier to relate to unlike those given in the books that are hypothetical. This way it ...

As far as I remember myself, I have always been fascinated by the things that seem too usual and mundane for the majority of people, so they tend to overlook them – I mean the houses we live in, how they are constructed, how they look, how the skills of building them developed over time. After graduating from high school, I decided to further develop my connection with this subject by applying to an architecture department of a community college, where I managed to expand my knowledge and place it on a specialized theoretical foundation. ...

Getting engaged is not as simple, it seems, as it used to be--the moment the question is posed, (Will you marry me?) the hoped-for response stated, (Oh, yes! Yes! Of course I will marry you!) and the ring is revealed from a hidden pocket or jewelry store box, applied onto the left hand ring finger with somewhat unsteady hands, (a diamond is traditional but a quality birthstone or other gemstone is quite acceptable) the veritable parade of emotions, events, conversations, purchases, and actions are already marching through the couples‘ lives. Getting engaged is complicated, especially at this time in our American society, and the dichotomy is that because of our penchant for providing and exploring choices, decisions that must be made are nothing but complex. ...

Personal Statement

My greatest wish has been to be part of UCLA and later become a nurse. Nursing falls in line with my intellectual interests and I have always been fascinated by the human body and all its intricacies, how it functions, what happens when it malfunctions, and what is done to restore its health. I majored in neuroscience because it contributes to my understanding of the human body and feeds my interest (Huber 21). This interest also extends outside school. On a monthly basis I read through the American Journal of Nursing, American Journal of Critical Care, and Critical Care Nursing. I have also gained much knowledge through volunteering and tutoring experience and the reason I now feel it is the time to chase my nursing dream. ...

The Admissions and Standards Committee reviews applications from many applicants with strong academic backgrounds and experiences. However, when recruiting people for a given position or duty, it is mandatory that a number of personal characteristics are taken into consideration. It is therefore necessary to combine both the academic and professional qualifications together with the personal attributes of an individual. Every person has a number of outstanding characteristics that are worth considering when recruiting the person for a given exercise or duty. ...

I was playing second base for the first in a game. This was my time to prove myself to others of what I am capable of. I searched for my parents in the bleachers, but they were nowhere to be found. “It wouldn’t be the first time that they didn’t show up. Concentrate”, I told myself. First pitch was already thrown, and it was a foul. I could feel the adrenaline pumping as I saw the batter get into position. I had to win this, not only for the team, but for myself. It was a fast pitch, but she hit it, straight to me. Out! I had caught the hit and everyone started cheering. I couldn’t believe what had happened. ...

Interpersonal Communication

Interpersonal Communication in Relationships Abstract Interpersonal communication is believed to be present since the beginning of human life on earth. However, it has always been marked with certain issues such as ineffective communication, wrongfully used communicational tools, and its detrimental impact on relations.

In her essay, Jo Goodwin Parker describes the situation of an unnamed poor woman, the single mother of three children, using first person narration. The woman’s extreme poverty and her desperate situation are described in great detail in order for the audience to be able to understand it. The essay was written for the American public, and specifically, for middle and high class citizens, who have no idea what poverty is, and who despise poor people believing that they are unwilling to change their situation. In addition, they ignore people who ask for help, and they care little ...

Mental Model/ Mindsets and their Impact on Employees

Mental models influence the decision-making abilities and performance at workplaces. The common type of mental mindset is the preconceived perception a worker develops through experiences. The effect that the mental models have on employees and human resource managers is preventing the achievement of their full potential. The perceptions filter out most presented observations as threats (Kohl, 2006). If a worker recognizes such a limited mindset, they can work toward viewing issues from logical and unbiased viewpoints. Some mindsets work against strategic changes in companies and proposed projects. As such, it is important that the managers of the company breakdown ...

Sociological imagination connects an individual’s imagination to events and other people in the society. There are three key principles in sociological imagination; history, social structure and biography. Mills’ hypothesis states that people are able to understand themselves and the reality around them by linking their personal experience with structural and historical forces (Mitra&Sarabia, 2005). In this paper, I will correlate my personal experience from events that have happened around and how they have influenced my decisions. This concept needs to be applied carefully since it attempts to create a connection between public issues and my personal experience (Schudson, ...

Chapter 9: Descartes

1. "I find here that thought is an attribute that belongs to me; it cannot be separated from me. I am, I exist, that is certain" (Descartes qtd. in Soccio 260). What does Descartes mean by this statement and why is it so important? Descartes claims that there is no ego without a thought (mind) and this ego does not exist in a thoughtless state. That is one of his most important ideas, which led to a well-known statement - “I think therefore I am”. 2. What is meant to be proven by the wax example? How does Descartes ...

Decision-making Theories

Decision-making can be considered the result of cognitive processes that lead to the selection of a course of action from various alternatives (Gori et al. 2011). In this regard, this paper provides examples of decision-making processes based on the hypothetico-deductive theory, the psychoanalytic theory, and social identity theory (cite textbook). These examples will also be based on personal experiences.

Hypothetico-deductive Theory/ Rationalism

The hypothetico-deductive theory uses the scientific approach to decision-making, that is, the decision is based on logically developed theoretical knowledge (Jefford, Fahy and Sundin 2011). This is based on the philosophical schools of empiricism (i.e. trust in the five senses) ...

“Be quiet! Do this! Don’t do that!” We come across or hear commands, directions, instructions and orders almost every day. So many people obey orders on a daily basis and most of the people who obey orders usually feel coerced. Apparently, people obey orders to cooperate or because they are afraid. In fact, often people obey orders against their own desires and better judgment (Milgram). So is it possible that people are prone to unjust authority? Many people might disagree. Many might claim that examples such as Nazi Germany and Abu Ghraib are simply “extreme” examples of the ...

Globalization can be defined as the increasing relationships in the globe concerning culture, economical activities and political influences. In economics, economic globalization refers to the unrestricted movement of goods and services across the national borders with little or no barriers. It has been argued that economic globalization can result in economic growth in developing and developed countries through specialization, reduced labor and technology importation and comparative advantage. Critics have challenged the idea of globalization by claiming that the people encouraging globalization only looks exaggerates the advantages and underestimates the costs of globalization. It is in this perspective that we ...

Teaching is a more an art than a skill, and any good teacher would agree to that point. A good teacher not only spreads knowledge, but also creates an environment that is conducive to learning, promoting the spread of knowledge. However, the modern day teacher faces many issues; issues that inhibit learning and the spread of knowledge. Knowing all too well about the myriad of issues that college teachers face, Stephen Brookfield, in his book 'The Skillful Teacher', aims to provide a guide for experienced and novice teachers alike. In the first chapter of the book, the author states ...

Scenario 1: Teaching a newly diagnosed type II diabetic patient the importance of monitoring his/her blood glucose level.

This scenario will require applying connectivism theory of learning to help the patient effectively comprehend the importance of monitoring blood glucose level in the body. Connectivism theory is relevant in this scenario since it requires that the patient needs knowledge to assimilate the importance of monitoring his or her blood glucose level. The patient has to be active and learn as the process of learning is carried on. James states that, “Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning” ( ...

Life is a process that entails continuous learning not only through difficult and horrifying moments but also through continued our past successes.

The use of language refers to the cognitive abilities of non-human animals. The study of cognition is one of the urgent problems of modern science of animal behavior, since it only serves as a source of data for the reconstruction of the emergence and development of the cognitive functions in the early stages of the anthropogenesis. Many non-human animals found very complex communication systems, but can we say that they have language similar to the one, used by the people? The problem here is in the deciphering of the natural animal communication. The point, however, is that, with specific ...

Most writers ensure that they convince their target audience to agree with their ideas as the right conceptions. They use different appeals such as logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to drive their point home. Through such appeals, the target audience better understands the intentions of the authors and assumes the latter’s position, thereby agreeing or conflicting the given information. An appeal to logos (logical) uses reasoning to convince the target audience. On the other hand, pathos (emotional) persuades the readers through appealing to their emotions. An appeal to ethos however convinces these audiences through the author’s character ...

Background of the Study

A useful lesson to illustrate a major pedagogical theory in education involves a close reading lesson given in the ninth grade English class. Many high schools English teachers report that their students lack the skill of reading a passage, whether fiction or non-fiction, and successfully draw inferences and figurative meanings or even critically analyze the readings. These figurative meanings are crucial to understanding the rhetorical argument of the piece, making this a vital skill. Furthermore, writing is also as complex a learning activity as reading that fosters the act of critically arranging the words to make perfect ...

Who has ever thought of applying cognitive dissonance in the field of advertising? Is it a challenging ordeal? Holding more disagreeing cognition based on ideas, believes or values can sometime be confusing. While considering a state of dissonance, individuals seem to feel disequilibrium, anxiety, and guilt, embarrassed among other forms. Individuals should have a motivational determination to lessen dissonance by altering the existent cognitions. This approach has been identified to work in diverse fields in influencing or engaging individuals in diverse perspectives. For instance, cognitive dissonance theory has been identified to play an essential role in the advertising field. ...

Rationalism is the major developed concept during the time of John Locke. His goal in his works is to build a more sophisticated foundation for information and science. The method he proposed is to evaluate the scope, limitation and reliability of the knowledge of humans and to differentiate it to the irrational concepts and ideas. He started to investigate the ability of the human mind by analysing the origin of our ideas. Locke believed that in order to understand the human mind, one should trace the origin of the idea from the individual’s experience (Kaijo, np). John Locke’ ...

He could never get over the trauma and tragedy of warfare and his poems are among the most emphatic piece of literary works which denounce warfare and exemplify the brutalities of violence and the ultimate futility which leads to irreplaceable loss of lives and psychological strain. The poem is a first-hand account of the mental effect of war on ...

They feel recess is the primary cause of the poor performance that differentiates the united states from the rest of the first world. ...

Abstract

In second language acquisition, the teaching methods are primarily meant to contribute to learner’s acquisition of the language, not learning of the targeted foreign language. This implies focusing on communication (enhancing the vocabulary) and on process rather than on grammar and on product (learning the language). In this context, for stimulating the communication, teachers need to create relaxed environments for the learners to feel comfortable in communicating and interacting among themselves, sharing their experience with others and in the same time learning from various strategies or language acquisition methods. Such language acquisition methods are presented in the current ...

With Religion as Defined by Catherine Albanese

Often people confuse the concept of faith in God with religion. While religion remains a fundamental underpinning of the belief in God according to Judeo, Christian, and Islam nonetheless within the precepts of these three, there exists the idea of faith as the glue that binds belief. Comparing Terrence Tilley's definition of faith with Catherine Albanese's definition of religion provides the fodder fueling the debate of how these two concepts derive from belief in God and allows subjective consideration of how either of these author's views fit personal experience. Tilley provides a broad perspective in his book with chapters ...

What is the problem of evil? Theodicy (the problem of evil) continues to raise jitters among individuals. This is because it tries to proof and support the presence, love and the reality that lies in evil without ant contradiction. The irony is that for one to believe in the problem of evil, he must sacrifice either the presence or the love of God. This leads to a dilemma that cannot be solved. If an individual sacrifices God’s omnipotence or love, this will mean that the Supreme Being will not prevent or overcome evil by any deeds. Theodicy will ...

1. Gender Identity As far as one remembers, one got to learn about gender identity from parents and grandparents, specifically through distinguishing toys and clothes between siblings. For instance, one was made aware that girls are provided with toys that focus on aesthetic value through playing with dolls, miniature houses with different parts and accessories of the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. From this alone, it could be understood that girls are expected to conform to activities in the house and also to focus on oneself through emulating the physical traits and characteristics embodied in dolls and how they ...
