...”How much we know and understand ourselves is critically important, but there is something that is even more essential to living a wholehearted life: loving ourselves.”- Brene Brown At the surface of this statement I hear that we must love ourselves for ourselves. Digging a little deeper into this quote and I also am feeling that we have to first love ourselves in order to love others. Living a wholehearted life means to access your whole ‘loving’ heart in everything you say or do; using your heart for genuine good. Loving ourselves for who we are and not waiting on who we want to become. Loving yourself allows you to show that love to others. Showing gratitude and joy as we go about our daily routines makes life worth living. If it is the connection that defines our purpose we should stay positively connected for life. For life…in order to live. As we need air to breathe we need connections to love. Again loving ourselves first and allowing that love to radiate through and around our being, making connections along the way. In the field as a youth worker this can be transferred by bringing your highest self to the experience when working with the youth. As a youth worker our job is to facilitate the growth and development of the youth. In doing so we have to make sure all our actions are intentional and within that intent filled with love. To truly make a difference in this field of youth work we must continue to bring our wholehearted living to the forefront...

...Character Sketch: Tobias Eaton In Veronica Roth’s Insurgent, Tobias Eaton or “Four”, as he is otherwise referred to, is intelligent, loving and strong. He is intelligent both in love and in warfare. Tobias proves his intelligence when he gives Tris, his girlfriend, an ultimatum. She continuously throws herself into situations where she acts recklessly by risking her life and Tobias will have none of it. He grows so tired of her behaviour that he says to her, “You are a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn’t understand that the value of a sacrifice lies in its necessity, not in throwing your life away! And if you do that again, you and I are done” (260). Tobias is able to identify the signs of someone who can potentially hurt him. He knows that if something awful happens to Tris, he will be affected as well, so in order to prevent himself from possible heartbreak, he warns his girlfriend. The fact that he sees value in life shows his intelligence. Tobias’ actions toward his partner also exhibit that he has an affectionate side. He cares enough about her that he is willing to subtly threaten her if she does not stop trying to destroy herself. Tobias constantly tells Tris how much she means to him and performs a series of romantic gestures. As the two of them get ready for combat, Tris tells Tobias that she is unable to fire a weapon, but all he says back to her is, “Hey. You have done more for this faction than any other person. You...you’re the bravest person I’ve ever met. Stay here. Let...

...EMAIL TO FRIEND Hi, thank you for the email. I had a lot of fun doing the research on the campaign. At times it was difficult to decipher what was true and balanced. Politicians have a way or skewing the truth and making in look better than it is, or that their ideals and motives are to help the people. With all the media out there I have learned we all need to dig a little deeper into the issue and find a common ground. Being fair and honest is critically important to the out come of any situation and especially in politics. I visited some websites like Drudge Report and Daily Kos and what I found was not surprising. There was so much negative information on politicians. Don’t get me wrong there was some good stuff but the majority was on information of one sound bite, or one short comment and journalists blew it up into a huge scandal. It is these kinds of things that make all journalists and reporters look bad. The old saying is true “diet sells” and that’s never been more true than in politics. Looking back on all the situations I have been in and all the reading I have done, I don’t know whether I am shocked or not at the nasty games politicians play all to get an edge on their opponent. Politics currently is a nasty game but it wasn’t always like this. When media took over the scene things changed. Now the first to report a scandal and break the news was getting the ratings but the second to report had more facts but it wasn’t juicy enough and considered old news...

...Reflection on the Film “Tuesdays with Morrie” The first time I watched Tuesdays with Morrie back then last semester, my usual nonchalant and stone-hearted self broke down in tears. I couldn’t explain why, but I just involuntarily cried. Perhaps it was just pent-up emotion. But on a deeper level, I knew the reason: I could relate to so many things in the film. When I saw it for the third time in our Philosophy class, I tried to view it on a slightly more analytical and less affected manner (even though I couldn’t stop sudden hidden bursts of emotion) since I knew there were topics discussed by Morrie to Mitch which were covered by our discussions in Philosophy of the Human Person I. The last lessons taught by Morrie dealt with the fundamental yet often misunderstood or even feared things in life. One interesting thing in his discussions with Mitch was the line he repeatedly said: “If you know how to die, you’ll know how to live.” At first, it seemed to me as though it were contradictory to the phenomenological way of describing things – for how can one ever know how to die if he hasn’t experienced it yet? But after some reflection, I thought that perhaps Morrie, by saying “know how to die” meant that if we know that all our possibilities will end in the great even that death is (“know[ing] how to die”), we will strive to do our best daily – as if it were our last, as if we could hear that “bird on our shoulder.” I also liked Morrie’s emphasis on the...

...in the exercise majority of the similarities as well as differences focused majority on good things. I saw little to no negative words about the individuals. It seems that I see the good in people before I would see the bad in them. I think with my current situation I am taught to hunt the good stuff in everything I do. What is effective communication? “Effective communication is transmitted content received and understood by someone in the way it was intended” (Brown, 2015.) How do the constructs chosen in the exercise effect how I communicate? For starters, I am most comfortable with the people I have chosen in the exercise. Being that I know them, I am comfortable talking with them. This exercise did help with evaluating them a little deeper.

...Reason. July 2013, Vol. 44 Issue 3, p70-71. 2p. In the magazine article, “The Shame of Public Shaming”, writer Greg Beato also dives into the pros and cons of shaming in public instead of using traditional sentencing, as well as Kahan does. He discusses how most bland, black uniform bureaucrats use the detailed guidelines to ensure punishment in the sentencing phase which is designed to be slow, repetitive, and boring. He also gives examples such as, if your in Ohio and are caught with a DUI, you might be required to place a bright yellow license plate on your car. “Those in favor of the bill say people with DUI’s need to be put on display so they can be embarrassed of their crime.” But Beato dives a little deeper into the viral aspect of public shaming. The judge sentencing you to wear a sandwich board and standing outside for a few hours makes the public not only aware of your offense, but gives them a chance to take photos or videos and upload them on You Tube, or other such social networks not only shaming you possibly in your own neighborhood, but all over the world. Greg Beato is a contributing editor for the San Francisco Chronicle, but has also written dozen of publications including Spin, Wired, and Business 2.0 magazines. Beato, unlike Kahan might not be in favor of shaming as a form of punishment. He does express. “In addition ...

...Residents of the community, I would like to inform you of some information that I have found that can be the cause of why so many of us are getting sick. I started out my research with trying to figure out what type of problem is this and what the solution may be. I asked questions like, what is distributed to the whole city? What does the community have access to? What type of sources can create an illness or carry an illness in them? Once I narrowed down my questions I was able to direct my research to power lines, water sources and gas sources. I then began to think about the previous questions I have asked myself and found that it was one of those sources. After finding out the information that I did, I then had to dig a little deeper. I had to think about how the companies will try to hide any information that could have caused any damage. I had to think about what the records would be called and how they would conceal it. I found out that the gas company was the cause for why the community was starting to get sick. Although the gas company as at fault we may not want to stop using their services, but merely let them know that the practices of their company is hurting our community. I think if we get together and ask the right questions we will be able to figure out a solution for this problem. I’m pretty sure that the gas company doesn’t want to cause anyone any harm, so confronting them and letting them aware of the dangers they are causing should not be an issue...

...effective way to initiate and retain a smoke-free campus. Within this pool of knowledge, it will show some of the main reasoning behind why people that smoke want to keep a campus from becoming smoke-free and will also show people urges behind wanting a campus to become smoke-free. This will give two fully biased views from both complete opposites (a smoke-free campus versus a smoking campus.) Some of the bigger issues that Cho and DeVaney wanted to evaluate the motives behind the college students. This includes the variety of thinking and learning methods, reasons behind their actions, and meanings that give the students their urges towards these actions. By doing so, it will assist in understanding the motives, attitudes, and urges on a deeper level by evaluating “why” they want what they want, and “why” they did what they did. Another issue that the authors wanted to acknowledge is the college students’ reactions as well as their actions. They wanted to understand how the students would react to a change in the smoking policy at their college and what they would do to fix it if they did not like it or how they would help enforce the policy if they did like it. Cho and DeVaney conducted their research in two types of methods: field observation and semi-structured one-on-one interviews. Within the field observation, the authors watched about 65 smokers throughout a 7-day period. This included which times they smoked, what occurred or any events that happened while they were smoking...

...It should come as no surprise that most applicants do not enjoy drafting their graduate admissions essay. Writing a statement that tells a graduate admissions committee all about you and can potentially make or break your application is stressful. Take a different perspective, however, and you will find that your admissions essay is what ensures that you match up with a graduate program that will offer you the training you need for the career you desire. Let's take a closer look at the graduate admissions essay. What is its Purpose? Your graduate school application provides the admissions committee with a great deal of information about you that cannot be found elsewhere in your graduate application. The other parts of your graduate school application tell the admissions committee about your grades (i.e., transcript), your academic promise (i.e., GRE scores), and what your professors think of you (i.e., recommendation letters). Despite all of this information, the admissions committee does not learn much about you as an individual. What are your goals? Why are you applying to graduate school? With so many applicants and so few slots it's critical that graduate admissions committees learn as much as possible about applicants so as to ensure that they choose students who best fit their program and are most likely to succeed and complete a graduate degree. Your admissions essay explains who you are, your goals, and the ways in which you match the graduate program to which you...

...How to Succeed in Graduate School: A Guide for Students and Advisors Submitted to Crossroads, October 1994 Marie desJardins marie@erg.sri.com Abstract This paper attempts to raise some issues that are important for graduate students to be suc¬cessful and to get as much out of the process as possible, and for advisors who wish to help their students be successful. The intent is not to provide prescriptive advice – no formulas for finishing a thesis or twelve-step programs for be¬coming a better advisor are given – but to raise awareness on both sides of the advisor-student relationship as to what the expectations are and should be for this relationship, what a graduate student should expect to accomplish, common problems, and where to go if the advisor is not forthcoming. Introduction This article originated with a discussion I had with several women professors about the prob¬lems women face in graduate school, and how more women could be encouraged to go to grad¬uate school in computer science. Eventually, the conversation turned to the question of what these women could do in their interactions with women students to support and encourage them. I volunteered that over the course of my gradu¬ate career I had collected a variety of papers and e-mail discussions about how to be a good ad-visor, how to get through graduate school, and issues facing women. They were eager to get this material, and I told them I would sort through it when I got a chance. After mentioning...
