...Emelie McKeown September 9, 2013 Comm. 101 Bene Role (n); the rights, obligations, and expected behavior patterns associated with a particular social status. Each person in society has a different role, whether you’re a student, teacher, child, parent or even president of the United States. In this essay, I chose to discuss my roles as a student, restaurant server and daughter. In every role I learn so much every day and builds me up to becoming more of an adult. Within each role I change as a person, inside and out. I have to mold my actions and speech that would work well and agree with my surroundings I’m in. With each role I have a lot of likes and dislikes, ups and downs. It’s apart of life. Each character I partake myself as helps me later in life. I feel like each role is equally important to me. Being a student, even though most of the time its stressful and aggravating, is teaching me values that I’ll use later in life. It’s also preparing me for my career, Criminal Justice as a Victims Advocate. As a student I’m very quiet. Since college started, I haven’t made many friends, I’m there to learn and I’m in and out when I need to be. My mind is focused on what I need to know and learn. In high school I cared about what I looked like, since college has begun not so much. I honestly have a hard time getting up in the morning so I usually just throw on some clothes and add a touch of makeup. I usually have the same attitude at home as well. At home is where I can...

...1.1 The role and responsibilities of a teacher /trainer can be identified by looking at the teaching and learning cycle. The main points that make up this cycle are: • Identify learner needs • Planning and preparing sessions • Delivering sessions • Assessing learning • Evaluation Taking each of these points into consideration in one’s teaching is vital and essential for effective teaching and learning. For example identifying learner needs before the start of any course or session is important because each learner is different. The latter can be done by variety of methods such as asking questions (application form, interview), review any previous reports/results. Also it is vital to determine whether the learner has any additional needs or if there are any language needs as well. Each of the points in the teaching and learning cycle impacts on one another and not to include any would mean that you are not carrying out your role to the best of your ability. As a teacher/trainer you have to be professional in your role, be prepared, be firm but fair, engage your learners, provide resources, complete and maintain documentation and understand your duty of care to your learners. For me one of the most important roles of a teacher is to evaluate and reflect on your teaching by continuously assessing the learners and asking for their feedback during or after each session. In my work we do this via a plenary after a session and though anonymous feedback evaluation sheets...

...for me. MDE- What struck me most in researching this topic was the relative ease with which someone could find themselves diagnosed with MDE under current DSM-IV guidelines. Possibly without them having awareness of their impending path and journey into mental health difficulties. I was impacted by BPD in regards to its more challenging behaviours to the therapist, who may be dealing with a client existing between borderline and psychotic worlds. I will explore the application of two theoretical approaches, namely humanistic and cognitive behavioural in relation to these mental health disorders. I will also demonstrate the importance of cultural difference in relation to understanding mental health issues and I will highlight the role risk assessment plays in the provision of supports for clients and the therapists. I will also demonstrate the importance of supervision and record keeping and I will conclude the essay with a brief summary of my key learning, including my understanding of limitations and challenges facing me within the psychotherapeutic relationship. PSYCHOPATHOLOGY A helpful understanding of what pathology is and one that I agree with was suggested by Stirling, who contributed that psychopathology is, ‘The scientific study of abnormal behaviour. As such it differs from both...

When being a manager who has very good leadership skill can invoke employees to want to a job well done. When, there is a leader that is will have more of understanding that not all of the employees are the same person, so there could have some criticism, and that some of the employees use might need an extra push, so he or she could meet the goal of a team.

...The comprehensive roles of crime and intelligence analysis they relate to the future of policing and homeland security. The role of the criminal intelligence analyst is to help predict and prevent crimes and also monitor ongoing criminal activity. Analysts do this by gathering information from surveillance, databases, technology (such as GIS geographic information systems), informants, financial records, telephone and other communication records and public information sources. A criminal intelligence analyst takes all of this information, evaluates it, verifies its accuracy and transforms it into viable intelligence to assist law enforcement officers in preventing crime, making arrests or gathering essential evidence for prosecution down the road. Law enforcement intelligence analysts must be capable of finding relationships among the information they are analyzing; at the same time they must understand the criminal mind to create suspect profiles and also discover connections between several suspects. Thus criminal intelligence analysts must have logical, technical, investigative and criminology skills.

...The Role of Social Media In Public Relations Technology in this age is putting a spin on how an organization establishes and cultivates an ongoing mutually beneficial relationship with its publics. Social media is an evolving, ever present catalyst in the communication realm of public relations. Public Relations in its earliest years, the era of Antiquity, acknowledged the importance of public opinion, but their scope was limited to an arm's reach of their publics. Social media has become both a window and a bridge to the public relations practitioners', by enabling them to interconnect the internal objectives of the organization with the constant changing externalities. In the arena of public relations, an array of hats is essential to effectively carry the overall message of an organization into a stage of visible outcome. An organization's public relations department amongst many other tasks must build awareness, research and analyze public attitudes and perceptions, strategize, and implement crisis plans. Social media provides a way for organizations to do these things on a scale not known in earlier times when messages had to first bypass the filter of the media "gatekeepers". As stated by Rupert Murdoch, "Technology is shifting the power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, and the media elite. Now it's the people who are in control" (p. 1). Social media as defined by Wikipedia is "an umbrella term for the various activities that integrate technology...

Some of the different roles are, The Joker or the class clown, they tend to keep the mood light and jokes flowing, even sometimes when they really shouldn’t. The devil’s advocate or instigator which can sometimes be similar to the Joker but tends to create problems in the good setting just to get a rise out of people. The Critic or backseat driver is always the first one to point out the issues going on or to say his or her own negative opinion but never offers a good suggestion on how to fix the problem. There’s always the cheerleader or supporter that will just cheer about anything in general it might not even be good process being made but something is going on so the cheerleader is cheering. The outsider or rebel typically sits there alone not joining in, doesn’t try to fit in to the group or conversation. The leader or Alpha is the one the final decision has to be approved by. They might not always be the spear head of the situation but before anything gets decide they need to give their approval for it to happen.
