In a 2006 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he stated "My mom was an illegal immigrant. She wanted me to have a better future," (Johnson 1)
Still, there is intense prejudice within the bulk of the American population which is influencing policies to hinder immigrants and their goal of reaching American citizenship. There is the obvious case of the controversial Arizona immigration laws, which makes it a criminal offense to be an illegal immigrant in the state (Unger 1)
Student-centered learning has made significant gains over the past decade in nursing programs (as it also has in other professional programs). Some of the ways in which students have become more responsible for their own education as well as more influential in it are the ways that credentialing of nursing (as well as pre-nursing) programs is carried out (Keating, 2010, p
My patients can still attest to my skills and strengths as a service provider both to them in the community and to them individually. How did you make the transition from simply being a nurse and a giver of information as all nurses are, to someone who facilitates the learning process (Bastable, 2008)? The transition was truly made in my training
Their care will be so much more effective and your time at work will be all the more richer. How do you build awareness of the personal attributes of your students (Clark, 2008)? I try and see my students outside the classroom to get to know them
This activity would be designed to address the gap the students have in ethical decision-making. This activity taught me to think outside the box when it comes to engaging my students (Utley, 2011)
However, I realized that to do this would compromise the results of the Inventory itself, since I am supposed to be taking the test rather than analyzing it. After completing the inventory, the results showed the following scores per section/intelligence category: Naturalist Musical Section III- Logical Existential Section V -- Interpersonal Section VI -- Kinesthetic Section VII -- Verbal Section VIII -- Intrapersonal Section IX -- Visual The results showed that my strength lies in my intrapersonal intelligence, which, according to the theory's proponent Howard Gardner, is the "ability to understand and to have an effective working model of oneself… awareness of one's own desires, fears, and abilities, and also using this information to make sound life decisions" (Visser, 2006:490)
6. Reflection activity: Narrative What sculptural conventions were adopted by Indian artists in order to clearly convey the narrative? There were seven distinct modes of narration in Indian monuments that portrayed the life and legend of Buddha and many of the styles are portrayed in a similar fashion on various monuments (Dhejia, 1990)
These biases are at the very core of feminist study and often are difficult to surface when informed consent is utilized. The reason is that once a subject becomes aware the researcher's acceptable and unacceptable practices, their behavior changes in response to this understanding (Bhattacharya 1103)
As was stated in the reading Qualitative Inquiry, "The failure to know and extract certain information can be an indication of the limits of a framework, methodology, or epistemology" In other words, if the research subject senses limitations within the research model, often presented in the informed consent form, they are less likely to respond in the desired means. An additional factor within feminist study is that of modern social expectations to avoid sexist preferences due to pressure from the feminist media and movement (Butler 12)
In my personal study, this holds especially true. In my study, I am seeking to extract from participants a theoretical bias that results from the sexist reporting of political figures in part due to the power of the media in determining political outcomes (Gunther) along with the severely detrimental effect that the media has on women in particular in the political arena (Norris)
Without ethics in the research, subjects can be improperly used and results manipulated in ways that result in wasted research time and resources. This holds especially true in feminist research where stereotypes of the woman are already impressed upon the minds of the participants (Mohanty)
In my personal study, this holds especially true. In my study, I am seeking to extract from participants a theoretical bias that results from the sexist reporting of political figures in part due to the power of the media in determining political outcomes (Gunther) along with the severely detrimental effect that the media has on women in particular in the political arena (Norris)
However, in a group setting in which everyone has such a proclivity, someone has got to listen. Therefore, in this initial step I had the opportunity to practice active listening and "respond appropriately" (Cortright, 2012)
In this initial step, the various intricacies associated with working with others were unveiled. The first of these was communicating ideas to others in a respectful way -- in an efficient and effective manner (Harper, 2011) -- in which no one would take anything personally and get offended
On the one hand, autonomy, independence, and self-motivation are vital prerequisites for working alone, and are desirable qualities as such. On the other hand, these qualities are useless if an individual is not adroit at communicating, resolving conflict by considering different perspectives (Melamed and Reiman, 2006), and working well with others
As such, some people are better at other things than others are. Working in a group presents the opportunity for individuals to utilize their strengths while minimizing their weaknesses, which might require a degree of emotional intelligence to discern (Skiffington and Zeus, 2010)
For me, at that age, two boys should be out shooting baskets, or tossing a football around, or even heading to the lake to go swimming and maybe meet new kids -- even girls! Once a young girl gets a smartphone, no matter what her parents think, in time she will have access to online places where she shouldn't go. In the book Digital Youth, Innovation, and the Unexpected, Justine Cassell and Meg Cramer present an essay that features a scary public service announcement (PSA) that shows a hideous person, purportedly one of the "50,000 predators" that are online "at any given moment" (Cassell, et al
Not every parent in every country is clueless when it comes to what their children are doing online. In the book Kids Online: Opportunities and Risks for Children, the authors point out that parents are "well acquainted with the Internet" in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Iceland and Denmark (Livingstone, et al
" The concern should be raised because 90% of children between the ages of 5 to 14 used the Internet in the previous year; that 90% is up from 65% just eight years ago, which is a startling jump in numbers. Still, that having been said, much of the texting between adolescent girls is innocent, just "a means of constructing a social world…using words to construct identity and make social plans… [and] using silence…and sometimes manipulative forms of mass and interpersonal communication" (Stern, 2007)
