Life is all about overcoming obstacles. Sometimes, one has to face unexpected events that complicate one’s journey. Nevertheless, what is important is that one rises up to the challenge, so as to be greater than the hardships they propose.

However, this definition has been met with various contradictions due to the fact that this definition may incorporate various conditions such as hibernation or instances that the person may be in a coma whether it is medically induced or brought ...

I have learned and developed my skills extensively through the course work’s writing exercises. The exercise demanded to write various papers and projects that were assigned by the lecturers.

Therefore, I did not satisfy most of the deadlines and ended up ...

Part 1: Reflections

During my previous semester, I had a Chinese roommate. As we were good friends, she took me to meet her father in a restaurant for lunch.

In Chinese Culture, maintaining eye contact with the elderly is considered rude and disrespectful. Also, touching with strangers, in any way is considered overly intimate and wrong. Pointing towards a Chinese is also viewed as a rude behavior, which is why they nod to show acknowledgement. On the contrary, the American culture views the same ...

The most important concepts I have learned this semester about sexual identities and communication are from Jonathan Katz. In his book, The Invention of Heterosexuality, Katz delves into the topic of heterosexuality and argues that it was invented, rather it being something natural. He views heterosexuality as a new concept that has its own codes of conduct, not to mention cultural distinctions with a strong historical background. The bottom-line is that communication played a significant role in making heterosexuality appear as a normal occurrence in the society. What is new to me is that in the past, there were ...

There has been a societal shift in how we deal with children and failure. From every participant in sport getting a trophy no matter what, to schools implementing a no fail policy, children are now cushioned from failure in a way that previous generations have not been.

In fact, it would be for the students benefit to do away with no-fail policies within the school system. Ultimately, ...

Abstract

Educational psychologists are concerned with understanding the factors that predict academic performance. Among others, self-regulated learning has been found to significantly predict academic performance. Self-regulated learners play an active role in the construction of knowledge, control, and regulation of their academic work. Currently, self-regulated learning is viewed as a process rather than a learner characteristic. In all the process-oriented models of self-regulating learning, the student’s ability to control their learning is the key. Time spent studying outside classroom as an aspect of self-regulated learning does not seem to have received much attention from educational psychologists. Therefore, the current ...

As an American and who had never travelled to a foreign country, I would be excited by the opportunity to travel outside the borders of the country for a semester. This would give me a chance to do a reality check on the views of Greece and Germany that I had developed over time.

Visiting these nations on a voyage would definitely let me get immersed in their cultures, get a first-hand knowledge about ...

Introduction and Perspectives

As a post-positivist, I believe in the idea that knowledge, values, and the background of the research can control the phenomena that is being observed. The objective truth can be attained through considering the probable effects of the biases on the phenomenon.

In addition, the phenomenological research methodology centers on the return to the experiential meaning (being experiences) and personal meanings because its main objectives are to capture the complex, rich, new descriptions of the phenomenon that is being experienced by the researched. ...

The financial struggles my parents faced never discouraged their commitment to provide me with the best possible education.
