...Enlightenment • Phillis Wheatley, “To S.M., a Young African Painter, on Seeing his Works.” 1773 (poem) Requirements: * Record your initial reaction to the work (suggested length of 1 paragraph or half a page) by doing the following: 1. Describe your initial thoughts and/or feelings about the work. 2. Describe in detail at least one aspect of the work that most interests you. A. In this poem, Ms. Wheatley conveys that an artist’s pencil transfers words to life. Imagination is very dynamic, it allows the poet to go above their limits, to the mark where circumspection vanishes. Wheatley then depicts the writer's and craftsman's will as "flame," which helps them to keep on composing verses or paint sketches. She then proceeds with "However when these shades of time are chas'd away, and haziness closes in everlasting day," (Wheatley, 1753) which I think she implies that when this time of bigotry has passed, the dimness (difficult times) closes and rather comes endless light (great times). Analyze the work (suggested length of 2–4 pages) by doing the following: 1. Describe the historical context of the period in which the work was written. 2. Discuss insights into the work that can be gained from the author’s biography. 3. Analyze how this work explores a particular theme and/or stylistic characteristic from its period. 4. Explain the relevance of this work for today’s audiences. B1. This poem was written during the pre-Revolutionary War period. At this time, the world...

... August 10, 2014 Describe a situation in which critical and creative thought could have been used for a better outcome. Describe why it is important to think critically and creatively in similar situations. A situation, in which critical and creative thought could have been used for a better outcome, is when investors were making decisions about the purchase of real estate. In 2006 the real estate market was giving signs of weakening where prior to that year it was booming, but investors were not thinking critically and creatively instead, they were greedy and they let greed make decisions for them. To make matters worse lenders where very aggressive in their lending protocols while no one in the government was watching. Investors continue to buy in frenzy at high prices, even paying over the listed prices for properties. Then came the market went bust and investors were stuck with nearly worthless pieces of properties. Had the investors even consider one or two worse case scenarios, their net worth could have been preserved, instead we saw how thousands of properties started going into foreclosure. This was a hard lesson to learn but today the lending rules have changed thanks to a revamp of the lending practices. By thinking critically and creatively the government has tighten the screws on a much-unsupervised system. Define free will, truth, knowledge, and opinion. Explain how we use them to form thoughts. Free will: The moderate definition of free...

...outperforming the notion of the war that was the concept of the initial World war. With the application of various techniques applied in the contextualization applied in the work of Charles Hamilton, the poem is able to clearly depict the portrayal of the author’s perception of war. The author, Charles Hamilton wrote about the First World War which appears through the whole of his poem. The relevance of the poem to the society and those affected by war is both encouraging and its emphasis is defined by the imagery and thoughtfulness of character envisioned in the overall fundamental analysis of the poem. There is evidenced array of character, politeness and distinct humbleness, a denser factor within a more serene environment that is later epitomized by fundamental thought of people feelings. It is thought in various historical backgrounds that war brought death, suffering and separations. Nonetheless, in this poem, this perspective is being erased as the poet brings in a renewed faced, hopefulness and most importantly, a sense of forgiveness. According to research conducted by various authors the literary skill used by the author Imagery, among other literary techniques has been depicted in the poem. The main purpose of the literary works is applied in the reinforcement of the message that war will remain amidst men as long as there is no solution without unity. Imagery is a powerful tool in the poem and a greater hand of real thought and capitalized proportionally throughout the poem....

As part of that, we discussed ways to resolve impossible many to many relationships and further developed our library database by creating an entity relationship diagram with it. 2.

I had actually inadvertently learned some of this during the first unit when I was trying to figure out a way to display the various relation attributes for our library assignment.

...1. Describe your initial contact/connection with the agency. a. Was is smooth or was it difficult? Why? It was not difficult for me to initiate contact with Food Recovery Network. The Food Recovery Network at Calvin College was well managed by the students.

They helped develop a good relationship to make you feel welcome. b. What is it about this agency that made it smooth/difficult? The agency...

...In direct contrast to what most of us have been told, he pushes us towards quick thinking as a profitable and easy option – to pay attention to one's subconscious is to harness the power of thoughts you did not know you were having. If you pay attention to your “gut feeling”, your decisions will take less time and may be more accurate. This is exactly the idea of thin slicing, a concept that many of us utilize in our daily lives. I have had a handful of situations where I immediately noticed and decided upon something, then thought it through and came to a completely different answer with what I thought was logical and sensible reasoning. This is exactly what Gladwall is arguing against-- he says that we should lean towards trusting our snap judgements. Once in tune with this concept, I realized that I use this tool already-- with friends, judging couples, for instance, or comparing people I barely knew and making assumptions based off what I could observe about their behavior. To assume is a natural human response which keeps us safe and gives us broader information to analyze and work with, and it can sometimes lead to accurate and interesting conclusions. One of the first examples of rapid cognition that Gladwell uses is the story of a historical statue collector and his uncertainty about an item he had just recently purchased....

Describe the process you went through to identify the need for change and manage the process of implementing change. What were the results? — Kelley Describe your greatest professional achievement and how you were able to add value to your organization. — Johnson The goal in answering this kind of question is to analyze, rather than summarize, an achievement. This advice is particularly true if you're discussing an accomplishment that is listed elsewhere on the application. Your readers want to gain insight into your character, not read a factual summary of what occurred. Here are some guiding principles to use in constructing your answer: (1) Choose something that's meaningful to you. Some applicants feel obligated to choose the most objectively impressive accomplishments. You should write about something that has personal significance, even if you weren't formally recognized for it. What matters is that you write passionately and insightfully about your subject. Unless otherwise specified, you should feel free to draw on academic, personal, or professional successes. (2) Focus on details about the process. Show the reader through...

... In this essay I will be exploring the issues raised in the case study provided which is about a 45 year old man named 'Mr. X'. I shall be explaining the issues Mr. X has expressed as I have understood them. To be in a position to help Mr X I need to identify issues that arise from the initial interview and produce a course of treatment that I feel would enable Mr X to meet his identified goals. I will be taking in consideration any ethical issues that need to be accounted for. Mr. X is a 45 year old man who has worked at the same Estate Agency for 18 years. He has presented to me the issue that he would like to apply for the manager’s position at his branch but his lack of confidence is holding him back. Mr. X has stood in for the current manager on many occasions so he knows that he is capable of doing the job but has reservations as he doesn’t want to cause any upset amongst the other staff or management if he is not successful. Further discussion with Mr. X revealed that one of the reasons he would like the job as manager is so that his mother would be proud of him and show him a little more respect. She is currently living in a home and he visits her regularly every Friday night although he says she tends to pick on him. Mr. X isn’t clear how or why his mother picks on him, just that she does. It also transpires that Mr. X’s colleagues tend to go out for a drink after work on a Friday night on a fairly regular basis but because of his commitment to visiting his mother...

...Describe a setting in which you have collaborated or interacted with people whose experiences and/or beliefs differ from yours. Address your initial feelings, and how those feelings were or were not changed by this experience. The top 25 students in Texas that were not just invited here, but selected for their involvement with horses. Are to be gathered in this resort in Gainesville to become advocates for the equine industry. I couldn't help but be a bit nervous when I entered the meeting room. Luckily, they were just as ruffled as I was. A man dressed in professional attire asked us to be seated ironically in a horseshoe formation of tables and chairs. We gave him our full on attention. He then interrupted the silence by booming the statement, " you are not important." Tense and speechless we stared at each other with blank expressions. Suddenly his PowerPoint slide moved to the next slide, "why do we need horses," he finally was open for our thoughts. Answers ranged from outrageous Armageddon and overly attached reasons to therapeutic benefits. With my answer of how horses are of cultural and financial importance that they to my family. The different perspectives made me realize, I am surrounded by people that have strong passions for horses. When it came time for us to converse with each other. Conversations included barrel racing times, equitation riding, and then there was me, who have worked with my dad at feed yards checking and shipping cattle. Most of them were unknowledgeable...

...communication methods and language because it’s their major way of communicating their needs and preferences. Communication is a basic human right. Without communication the individual is unable to realise or exercise their rights. Under the Human Rights Act 1998 all individuals have the right to ‘freedom of expression’. If unable to communicate they would be denied these rights. 1:2 Explain how own role and practice can impact on communication with an individual who has specific communication needs. As a carer it is your role and responsibility to support individuals to express themselves. The way in which you can do this is by assessing their needs, access information regarding their communication needs, providing the appropriate support, aids or equipment, encouraging and motivating communication, working with others and by monitoring the effectiveness of that support. Without the appropriate support the individual would be unable to express their needs or how they are feeling which can lead to both emotional and physical difficulties. By fully supporting individuals with specific communication needs you are able to support their rights. 1:3 Analyse features of the environment that may help or hinder communication It is difficult and frustrating to communicate effectively when there is background noise,...

...interpersonal communication styles. The model is a quad-chart with each square representing a specific area of knowledge about oneself. The first area of the model is the public area. This area is a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are known to others. This is what we think of as our public image or persona. Brown suggests that the larger that this area is for a person, then the more effective communication will be. The second area of the model is what is referred to as the blind area. These are the behaviors, thoughts and feelings that characterize a person that are not known to the person, but are generally thought of by others. These are the mannerisms and habits exhibited by someone that the person is unaware of. The third area of the model is the closed area. The closed area is the thoughts, feelings, and other characteristics known only to the person who possesses them. These are characteristics that are only apparent to others if they are disclosed. People go to great lengths to broaden their closed area in order to what they perceive as protect themselves. The fourth and final area of the model is the unknown area. This area is characterized as the thoughts, feelings, and characteristics that are hidden to the individual and others around them. These are psychologists refer to as deeply repressed or unconscious behaviors and feelings. We may gradually become more aware of this area within ourselves as time goes on. Chapter...

...to disguise its true meaning. Freud called the censorship process the dreamwork. There is five processes brought into play during dream-work: displacement, condensation, symbolization, projection, and secondary revision. Did you ever awaken from a particularly vivid dream to find yourself having trouble, shaking the eerie, feeling it left behind? Was the dream simply the residue of your hectic day or something far more significant? Dream has always been a fascinating topic. I chose to know more about it because we are living in a world where our mind is a crucial part of our body. At night, we do not really comprehend how our mind works. When we are sleeping, we see images in our dreams sometimes stories or even the future. How does it all work? Where are those images coming from? Sigmund Freud in his book “ Interpretation of Dreams”, states that the dream is composed of two parts; the manifest and the latent content. The manifest content can be thought of as what a person would remember as soon as they wake what they would consciously describe to someone else when recalling the dream. Freud suggested that the manifest content possessed no meaning whatsoever because it was a disguised representation of the true thought underlying the dream. On the other hand, the latent content holds the true meaning of the dream, the forbidden thoughts and the unconscious desires. These appear in the...
