Personal Statement

I am a dentist committed to the health and happiness of the people that I serve. When I was a teenager, I got interested in health and served people since the biology and health courses in school. I learn from that moment the complexity of the human body and the required knowledge and effort to learn the body parts, how to treat them and how to involve with the human being and make him feel comfortable. Secondary school was the determinant moment to define that the health sciences will be my vocation. My vocation for health sciences was not ...

Differences between a causal and a correlation Causation refers to the cause of something to happen. A causal claim shows that the two events are related to each other in such a way that one event is the effect of the other. Suppose there are two events; b and c, then a causal claim can take the form of “b causes c” in which b refers to the cause and c refers to the effect. On the other hand, correlation shows that the two variables (events) are related to each other in such a way that ...

Having worked in a leadership position for fifteen years, I have a strong feeling that I still have a long journey to go.

Description

The article at hand refers to the thoughts and ideas of scholars who observed the process of analytical reasoning and found some useful tips and suggestions for making it effective. The first thing that the article pays attention to is that it is better to find approximate answer to the correct question than completely correct answer to the wrong one. The degree of information loss and misleading is far much in the last case. The choice of the problem is crucially important for the effective reasoning and qualitative analytical work. Another striking point is that evidence is crucially important ...

In Conrad’s book, ‘Heart of Darkness’ Marlow can be viewed as a protagonist as he appears in various scenes. He is a character, who cannot be defined easily. For instance, he foresees records of great originality when echoing his Victorian forerunners. Marlow outstands as a strong hero, self-determined and creative thinker, an able and candid man. The writer echoes the words about Marlow by saying that, “Marlow was not typical (if his propensity to spin yarns be excepted), and to him, the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside, enveloping the tale. It ...

Throughout history, there have been many great thinkers. They have sprawled among many disciplines, from philosophy to physics. Nevertheless, some of these have made important contributions to many fields at the same time. One of these cases is that of Blaise Pascal, who was deeply influential in mathematics, philosophy and theology. In a sense, one could say that these three disciplines were intertwined in his work. By studying the loftier aspects of the human experience, Pascal was able to bring together probability theory and his worries about the existence of God. As such, his notorious wager was a turning ...

Ideology in Allen Ginsberg’s “America” and “Sunflower Sutra”

Ideology is a very important topic as it relates to literature. Literature is one of the primary methods in which people that perhaps are not within the mainstream of culture, politics and society employ to question hegemonic power structures. Dominant power structures are often posed primarily as the synthesis of modernity, objective reality, logocentrism, patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism, which are often cited in shorthand as “imperialism.” The United States, after the Second World War the period in which Allen Ginsberg and the other beat generation writers were most active was arguably the point in world history in which ...

Strategic thinking is a key goal needed for exceeding leadership. The process of strategic thinking is to analyze what a business needs and how to improve the business. The plan could consist of attracting more customers, increasing profit, and decrease loss prevention. A good strategic thinker will involve every aspect of the issue and puts a goal-oriented plan into motion. The main words for a great strategic thinker are the how and when. How will this plan help the business and when can we see an increase in business from this plan? These two questions need to be answered ...

One of the most important or interesting ideas I gathered from the article is that there is a difference between being a fair-minded thinker and a thinker. I have learnt that many thinkers tend to pursue selfish goals while fair-minded thinkers are individuals who are not driven by the desire to manipulate other people for their personal interest. I think this is an interesting concept in the sense that fair-minded thinkers are rare in the contemporary society while many politicians fall in the category of thinker who manipulates other people’s thinking for personal gains. The other most interesting ...

Screening Reflection

Ride with the Devil, upon first glance, may seem like a movie that doesn’t deserve significant attention. In reality however, it relates to a deeper level with several of the other films that we viewed in class. For me personally, this film was able to relate to all of the other films we viewed in class on multiple levels. Ang Lee’s films have dealt with a variety of topics in the past. Some of his earlier works that we watched, like Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman, deal with the relationship between tradition and modern ways ...

I firmly believe in leading by example; most of us blame the system for structural and economic problems. According to me, to change the system one needs to be part of it; blaming will not solve the issues. I hold a Masters of Arts Degree in Counselling and have observed this sector very closely. Many times I have felt that a particular policy would have benefited the public at large as I saw it by working at the grass root level. My past academic endeavor and professional experiences motivated me to take up Public Administration and pursue a formal ...

Negotiation has been defined as the act of discussing or conferring with another with the objective of arriving at an agreement where some interests may be opposed, and some may be shared. Negotiation is a useful way of resolving a disagreement, a conflict, or a problem. The objective of the negotiation is to reach a middle ground where each party is satisfied. However, this is not usually the case. I have been involved in negotiation on various issues in the past. During the negotiations, I employed various tactics. In the past I have employed tactics such as listening ...

Islam is a religion, which started in the 7th century in the Arabian Peninsula, precisely in Mecca. Its believers trust in the existence of Mohammad. It is believed to have originated from Prophet Mohammad, who was visited by Angel Gabriel for about 23 years. In this period, he received revelations with which the Quran is composed. In general, the Islam religion is revealed to mean ‘the one who submits to Allah' (“What Is Islam? - Political Islam”). Most importantly, they believe in the five pillars of faith, prayer, giving, fasting and pilgrimage. It is also a monotheistic religion, but ...

A Research Proposal First Draft

Abstract While many researchers and practitioners alike are still finding that it is possible to help children develop creative thinking skills, we are also finding that this practice isn't being incorporated for all our kindergarten and pre-school children. The purpose of this paper will therefore be to investigate the ways in which children at the preschool/kindergarten level are being supported in the development of creative thinking skills, as well as the particular role this has played in helping kindergarten students. After initiating a review of the literature to guide the study, the methodology will involve data collection—interviews with ...

Research Purpose/Introduction

In a paper presented at a symposium on teaching children to think creatively, child psychologist E. Paul Torrance (1972), creator of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (Torrance, 1980, 1966) says, I know that it is possible to teach children to think creatively and that it can be done in a variety of ways. I have done it. I have seen my wife do it. I have seen other excellent teachers do it. I have seen children who demonstrated a disability for thinking creatively learn to think creatively. I have seen them continuing for years thereafter to ...

Term renaissance (French for rebirth) is known to most people. We are familiar with the heritage of the epoch – paintings, literature, music and know a lot about philosophical course of the time. However, I would like to focus on the very first accords of the period, looking at what led to it and who stood at its origins. Renaissance is a transitional era; from the mediaeval to the modern world (Sanford). During Renaissance no great philosophical systems are built - this time is for experimenting, trying different possibilities reorientation. At the same time, Renaissance may be referred to as ...

For instance when formulating a workable solution towards a personal problem and teaming ...

Most of us are less than what we could be. Great capacity exists within us but most of it is undeveloped and dormant. Improving in thinking is just like any other improvement, for instance improvement in ballet, in basketball or even in playing of the saxophone. Development of thinking is unlikely to take place in the absence of unconscious commitment to learn. We really don’t do the work required to help us in the improvement of thinking if we take thinking for granted. A gradual process is required in the development of our thinking, calling for plateaus of ...
