The real situation in a classroom can never be predicted. Problems may arise any time of the learning and testing process. In this everyday learning process the students together with their teacher learn things together. Not everyone in that room is the same, especially the students. Most of them may be able to cope up with their teacher’s strategy of teaching but some cannot. Not all of them may lend their full attention with regards to listening to every instruction their teacher say. I can say that being in the real situation like being in a classroom as someone else (not a student but an observer) sometimes worries me. Because I may be able to cause the learning interference in that conducive learning environment. At first I may feel to be very conscious about what would I do next, what would I say if someone asked me this thing or that, how would I act for me to be more professional with this study I am conducting and other more uncertainties. But nevertheless my gratitude being there in that room is incomparable with my other first hand experiences in life as an education student. I am very thankful for the opportunity...

...COMM 89 Theory Paper Purpose: Evaluate the utility of an academic theory by examining its applications to everyday life. Enhance your ability to understand academic theory as explained by an outside source and to apply theoretical concepts with organization and clarity. Demonstrate original thought in analysis of utility. Preparation: 1. Choose an episode from your life. Choose one of the two following types of brief (1-3 minutes) real life communicative episodes (any communication interaction between 2 or more individuals). Do NOT attempt to use a movie scene. a) First-hand experience: an incident in which you met and/or communicated with someone. b) Observed episode: an incident in which you witnessed 2 or more others communicating. 2. Select a theory from those on the schedule prior to the midterm. Choose one that will help you understand your communicative episode and that might also be beneficial for understanding your future communication interaction. 3. Find at least one main academic source (NOT your textbook or lecture notes) that explains the theory. This main source must be published and will most likely to be either a chapter in an edited book or a journal article that provides a thorough explanation of the theory. A journal article with an experimental study is unlikely to provide a thorough explanation of the theory, but is a very useful additional source for discussing the utility of the theory. (Use these in your utility section.) Your textbook and...

...Abstract This paper is a research I conducted on the representations of intimacy on gay couples in television, especially in comparison to the intimacy shown in cases of straight couples. I was also interested in understanding how audiences feel about such representations. I decided to focus my research on the TV sitcom Modern Family. To gather and analyze in an appropriate manner, I conducted a content analysis of the show’s episode in terms of intimacy shown whether it was physical, emotional or intellectual. To study the impact of the representations on the audiences, I conducted a mini survey using questionnaires. I expected my findings to be a lot more controversial. In fact, people are not bothered by the depiction of intimacy among gay couples. They think it’s natural when telling a couple’s tale to have moments of intimacy. Thus, they were troubled by the fact that even though Modern Family involves a same-sex family, it almost disregards the natural need for intimacy that characterizes all personal relationships. I came to the conclusion that, even though television seems to have progressed and removed taboos, in reality it is as conservative as ever and most of the LGBT portrayals are just an excuse for diversity. Intimacy in televised portrayals of homosexual couples: Modern Family When watching a movie or a TV show that has any kind of a romantic plot, we naturally expect to see intimacy between the couple. Intimacy is crucial in close relationships. Actually...

...he episode opens with Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the deputy director of the Department of Parks and Recreation with six years of experience in the town of Pawnee, Indiana, discussing with a documentary crew her strong belief in the power of government to help other people. Later, Leslie hosts a community outreach public forum at an elementary school along with her jaded colleague Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari). Leslie is enthusiastic despite the low turnout and angry complaints, which she describes as "people caring loudly at me". Local nurse Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) complains about a giant pit near her house, which was dug out by a condominium developer that went bankrupt in the middle of the construction project. Ann says that her boyfriend Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) broke both his legs after falling into the pit, and she demands something be done about it. Leslie is inspired by the challenge and makes a "pinky promise" that she will fill in the pit and build a park on the land.[1][2] Leslie seeks advice from city planner Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider), who feels the project would prove practically impossible due to the logistics and bureaucratic red tape, but Leslie is undeterred.[3][4] Leslie later fondly tells the documentary crew that she and Mark made love five years ago, but Mark only vaguely recalls the encounter.[5][6] Leslie, Tom and uninterested intern April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) visit Ann and meet Andy, a lazy and demanding musician whom she is forced to wait...

Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff Authorized for distribution by Stijn Claessens December 2013 This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF. The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. Abstract Even after one of the most severe multi-year crises on record in the advanced economies, the received wisdom in policy circles clings to the notion that high-income countries are completely different from their emerging market counterparts. The current phase of the official policy approach is predicated on the assumption that debt sustainability can be achieved through a mix of austerity, forbearance and growth. The claim is that advanced countries do not need to resort to the standard toolkit of emerging markets, including debt restructurings and conversions, higher inflation, capital controls and other forms of financial repression. As we document, this claim is at odds with the historical track record of...

...Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a number of symptoms including but not limited to: psychotic episodes, impaired social cognitive ability and varied levels of depression and withdrawal, can greatly impair. Therefore, it not only can cause a person to limit interaction with family and friends, but also significantly impacts social interaction with his or her peers, fellow workers, and/or people within general society. It is therefore understandable that people who experience schizophrenia often lack adaptation skills, suffer from cognitive deficits and also encounter the criminal justice system more frequently (BioMed central, 2010). However, several studies and hypotheses indicate a relationship between human development, family environment and relationships and the propensity for psychotic episodes and/or deficient levels of self-care and functionality within the social sphere of participation. Accordingly, this paper will examine schizophrenia, its definition and parameters, how child development influences its outcomes and how deficient socialization and cognitive abilities play key roles regarding outcomes. According to the DSM-IV-TR criteria; a schizophrenia diagnosis requires the patient to have at least two of the following symptoms for at least a one month period these symptoms include, “Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, catatonia or disorganized behavior and/or other negative symptoms including the blunting of affect,” (Kalapatupa and...
