...The Johari Window is a model shaped as a four paned window with four quadrants designed to be informative on how to have successful relationships within a group in terms of understanding the sections. It is easy to imagine what is in each quadrant and what each represents. An individual such as myself is able to view what is known to self and others and what is not known to self and others, by observing how one presents and receives information through the panes. The Johari Window enables an individual to describe, evaluate, and predict the aspects of interpersonal communication in their own life by exploring what is seen in each window. The information is portrayed in many different forms including verbal and nonverbal, fact and opinion, feelings and thoughts, as well as perceptions. The model addresses a real life situation that enables an individual to improve communication skills, build trust within a group, and develop self-esteem. The framework of the Johari Window enables people to see themselves as others see them, and is a very unique way of looking at relationships and the communication process. The first pane in the Johari Window is known as the Arena and represents the degree of self-disclosure in relationships. It contains personal information that is known to others and ourselves. Increasing self-disclosure implies trust in others, self-acceptance, and reduces the need for defensiveness. By revealing something about you encourages others to reveal something about...

...Johari Window Model Results Explained Upon completing the Johari Model exercise, I became more aware of my strengths and weaknesses in relation to my interpersonal skills and communication style, and realized how much understanding the model could add to my personal development. Discovered in the 1950’s by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham the model is a tool used to provide disclosure, feedback, and self-awareness. The open area revealed how evident certain aspects of my behavior, attitude, and feelings were to others. As an outspoken person, I do not hesitate to speak my opinion and will often do so freely. The exception to this is when I am not familiar with the individuals I’m involved with. In this case, my feelings are more reserved in nature and my voice reflects a polite, cordial tone so as to not offend anyone. I understand how this open area fluctuates depending on how close the relationship is with my peers, and how the area can be widened as everyone begins disclosing more of themselves. One particular example where I realized how the “open” area began expanding was through my relationship with my close friend. Upon first meeting him, the area was limited. The conversations were shallow and I noticed how closed off I was to being receptive. As the conversation steered into a better understanding of each other, however, the body language changed between us and the feelings and attitudes became spontaneous and affectionate. In the course of the following...

...Dimensions of Latino Experience In the United States there are foreign and domestic born Latino groups. The Latino population is growing at a high rate in the United States. There are eight different Latino groups, which are Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Colombian, Ecuadorian Salvadoran Peruvian and Guatemalan. In regards to the literature review on Latino experience I have gathered in the semester is that. Puerto Ricans historically have been the 2nd largest Latino population in the New York City. I know from personal knowledge that the Cubans that are domestic born are the richest among all the Hispanic groups right now in 2015. Cuban’s Latino group is at the top in regards to socio economic and educational attainment. In Latino studies and survey’s focuses on comparing socio economic conditions and cultural conditions and problems found within in each primary Latino group. Latino group on the whole still control a small portion of wealth in New York City compared to non Hispanic White, Black, and Asian city residents. The socio economic lower income levels among Latinos maybe at least partially because of lower education attainment compared with Asian, Black and non Hispanic whites. Approximately two thirds of New York City Latinos over the age of 25 reported having no college education, which is higher than Asian, Black and non Hispanic. Puerto Ricans are also the only national group in the Latino population where the majority of respondents were born in the United...

...Description Of How Your Personality Was Formed Application of theories of personality development: This paper addresses two theories that present contrasting views of my own personality which is influenced not only by my parents but other family members, friends and the world around me. Therefore these are the trait and phenomenological theories of personality. In the trait theories, the basic variables of the theory are people’s traits, that is, their “broad predispositions to respond in particular ways” (Pervin & John, 2001, p. 226). Most trait theories try to identify a common set of traits that can be used to describe the personality of any individual. These “nomothetic” trait theories rely on the statistical procedure of factor analysis to identify dimensions that can be used summarize individual differences in personality traits. Researchers using this technique commonly identify a set of five trait dimensions. These Big Five personality traits include extroversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience (Pervin & John, 2001). which I found out that I’m marginal or no preference of Extraversion over Introversion is (1%), slight preference of Intuition over Sensing is (12%), moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking is (25%) and slight preference of Judging over Perceiving is (6%) after taking the big five test online. Therefore once one identifies a set of basic traits in this manner, a primary question is to identify...

...With a ragged diamond of plate glass.” The first two lines of the poem appeals to the reader a metaphor “ragged diamond.” The use of the word ragged to describe the glass suggests something broken or torn. The second image is of “a young man and his girl falling backwards into a shop-window.” This is written in the present tense. The reason for this is to create a sense of immediacy. This gives the reader a sense of almost being a witness to this event. The next image in the poem is a violent one “The young man’s face is bristling with fragments of glass” it is as if the man has a beard made of glass. The use of the word “bristling” shows us that the man has fragments of glass puncturing his face. The reader is then left to wonder how the glass came to be stuck to his face. The comparison with a beard is deliberately ironic and shocking. “and the girl’s leg has caught on the broken window” The poet’s choice of words is very important here. “Caught” suggests something that has trapped the girls leg is trapped by the shattered plate glass and she is probably seriously injured. The poet draws even more attention to the violent detail, “And spurts arterial blood over her wet-look white coat. The poet used both sound imagery “spurts”, and visual imagery. The implication of the bloods colour is suggested by the word arterial. Clearly an artery has been cut which puts the girl in grave danger. “ This contrast with the white coat again drawing attention the blood...

...You're special Sad music flooded through the room as tears dribbled down from a pair of sparkling green eyes. The moonlight that shone in from the opened window made those eyes sparkled in beauty. A girl sat on a old rocking chair, crying softly as she rocked back and forth, letting the creaking sound on the chair hitting the wooden floor soothed her. " It won't work between us, Aries..." new tears came as she remember the broke up scene between her and Brian. It was cruel of him to broke up with her on Valentine's Day, which also happens to be her birthday. She couldn't take the news and was so shocked that she has not been herself for the past two days. "Aries..." her mother's voice from the other side of the door pull her back from her thoughts. "Sweetheart, please come out... Brian isn't worth your tears." her mom said softly and rapped on the door a few times. Aries quickly wiped her tears away as she dragged herself to open the door. Her mom was carrying a tray with a bowl of porridge and a a cup of fruit juice. As soon as the door was wide enough, her mom walked in and put the tray on her reading table. "Oh...sweetheart!" she sighed and hugged Aries tightly. Aries didn't want to cry but she couldn't help it. She started crying into those comforting arms that have been there for her as long as she knew. Her mom consoled her with soft whispers as she cried her heart out. Her mother left after a while to give her daughter some space to calm herself after...

...these solar windows from Hua Qin we were giddy with excitement. These window panes, which were unveiled at Taipei’s International Optoelectronics Week, do double duty to block out the elements and create energy for your home. They are slightly foggy and can seemingly replace home or commercial windows. The windows can come in slightly hazy to really hazy opacities – the more opaque the window, the more energy it produces. It’s unclear when these windows will hit the market, but they do bring up the idea of solar mapping, which we recently reported on. People can now map their buildings to see where the most sunlight hits, and install very opaque solar windows on those sections of the building in order to optimize the sun’s rays. This great green invention could open up the door to all kinds of renewable energy production for all kinds of environments. With solar panels, or even with solar paper — which we recently reported on — it is neccessary to put aside a surface for solar production that will serve no other purpose other than to produce power. With these solar windows one could generate electricity not on the roof of an electric car, but through the sun roof or the window pane. This solar glass would be perfect for greenhouses, capturing light from panes of glass that already magnify the sun. The opportunities with solar glass are endless, let’s hope Hua Qin sets to work manufacturing them soon. Read more: Solar Glass Generates Power Through Your Windows | Inhabitat...
