...Name: Lisa Reviewer: Edith Group: E School: Seattle Institute School of Massage Professional Ethics In this scenario, the practitioner had a client that had injured his foot while on vacation. While the therapist was interviewing his client through his in-take process, the client had requested that the therapist use an electric stimulation unit on the muscles of his injured leg. The therapist had acted ethically when he had politely informed his client that due to state laws he could not legally administer such treatment. By keeping his client informed, and not trying to administer what was out of his practice, he built the trust that he was with his client, and can continue building on their therapeutic relationship. Had the therapist decided to perform the stimulation on his client anyway, it could have resulted in serious consequences. Results could have been as bad as making the clients pain to his injury worse, to even losing his license. Unprofessional While the therapist was treating the client, the client began being intrusive. He started to ask the therapist all sorts of personal questions, causing the therapist to lose focus in what he was doing, and making it difficult for the therapist to maintain his professionalism. Because of this lack of focus it made the therapist distracted and he would forget to explain his treatment to the client and to be sure to communicate and get client consent. The distraction to the therapist had even caused...

...Topic Sentence and Informal Outline Sean Heffernan GEN/195 March 06, 2012 John Borio Topic Sentence and Informal Outline It is essential to know how to write a topic sentence properly.

...with public speaking in a relatively informal context. The instructor will assign one of your classmates to be your partner, and you will develop a speech designed to introduce your partner to the rest of the class. How to construct your speech: 1. First, get to know your partner! Ask lots of questions about your partner’s background and their interests. Look for major points of interest—such as hobbies, life events, or unique experiences—and ask your partner to provide you with more detailed information about them. These major points of interest will become the main points of your speech. And of course, you should be sure to return the favor by answering all of your partner’s questions about you. 2. Once you think you have enough material to work with, start outlining your speech. Use brief sentences to write out an introduction, a thesis, two main points, and a conclusion. Your thesis (and therefore, your speech) should address the following question: what kind of person is my classmate? Think about two qualities or attributes that describe your partner. Your classmate could be someone like: a sports fan, a musical talent, an outdoorsman, a car enthusiast, a spontaneous free spirit, or anything else that comes to mind. Be creative! 3. Once your full-sentence outline is completed, you can start rehearsing your speech. Be sure that your speech is not written out word-for-word; for extemporaneous speaking, you want your outline to be as concise as possible so that...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...

...PROCEDURE FOR WRITING A TERM PAPE A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Gathering the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think...

Within my freshman year, I realized didn’t take the time to actually analyze my topic to where I could have understand it more. Therefore, it didn’t come out the way that I’ve envisioned it to be. The topic of evil is a widespread and extensive topic. If I was to approach this topic now, I would have done more extensive research on the nature of evil. This would have made me more knowledgeable about the topic at hand and helped me determine how to start this paper. In addition, before beginning this essay, I should have created an outline to help guide me throughout my paper. The outline would have given me the opportunity go through the research that I’ve gathered and helped to be more critical on how I wanted to present evil and it’s different levels.

While reading my freshman essay, I find myself coming up with more ideas of how I could have develop my point of view of the branches of evil, hence making an stronger argument.
