Maggie and Victor, a couple in their mid-fifties who were contemplating divorce after twenty-nine years of marriage, told me this story: "We met in graduate school," Maggie recalled. "We were renting rooms in a big house with a shared kitchen. I was cooking breakfast when I looked up and saw this man-Victor- walk into the room. I had the strangest reaction. My legs wanted to carry me to him, but my head was telling me to stay away. The feelings were so strong that I felt faint and had to sit down." Once Maggie recovered from shock, she introduced herself to Victor, and the two of them spent half the morning talking. "That was it," said Victor. "We were together every possible moment for the next two months, and then we eloped." Page 4 q Getting the Love You Want "If those had been more sexually liberated times," added Maggie, "I'm sure we would have been lovers from that very first week. I've never felt so intensely about anyone in my entire life." Not all first encounters...

...this assignment, you will choose a topic, narrow it, research different points of view about it, and identify your audience in order to develop your angle on the topic. After looking at the list of topics below, which was shared in Week 1’s lecture, choose a topic in which you have more than just a passing interest. The best topic to choose is one which impacts you in some way. Having personal experience with the topic will probably lend some perspective on it and may get you closer to an angle on it. Also, sometimes research can be daunting, but if you have personal experience with the topic, or are even passionate about it, you will probably be more motivated to keep working when the “going gets tough.” Thus, while “interest” in a topic is important, mere interest will probably not sustain you through this project. You might ask yourself, “What is it about this topic that sparks my interest enough to write a ten page paper about it?” Once you choose the topic, please respond to the five questions below. Each of your responses should be approximately two paragraphs in length. This assignment will be graded using the Week 1 Assignment Rubric available in Doc Sharing. Education | Technology | Family | Health and Wellness | School Bullies | Multitasking and Technology | Sexualization of Girls | College Students and Weight Issues | No Child Left Behind Act/Race to the Top | Technology and Social Isolation | Gender Discrimination | Childhood Obesity | Grade...

...that I was assigned for class, my family, school, church, and social experiences also played a huge part in helping me construct it. In addition, those experiences not only gave me further knowledge, but skills to help me facilitate and accomplish group work tasks. As a facilitator and as a future social worker, my idea of a successful/effective group would be a group with a positive dynamic; where each individual in the group are able to open up, share and embrace their culture, interests, stories, and backgrounds. That way the group is able to trust and support each other and respect each other based on their values and ideas. Moreover, many people benefit from group work; a few are domestic violence, sexual abuse, anger management, etc. Groups like these and countless more are very crucial in our society because it provides structure for our communities to build on, as well as, meeting the individuals own socio-economical needs and/or accomplishing a goal that is set. Not to mention, improving yours and your group’s ideas so that the task becomes more efficient/successful. Lastly, groups help bring people together who feel alone in their struggle, to be able to build a healthy relationship, and help educate each other and our youth to participate in this impenetrable social system. Values Although a lot of treatment/task groups are mandated and a lot of others are voluntary, growing up I learned that if you accomplish certain...

...My family means the world to me. I do not care of others talking about my family because I am honestly proud to be in it and to be inherited all the characteristics from my parents. According to my neighbors, I got my personalities and my appearance looking from my father’s side. From my round face to my chubby body, it is all from my grandmother passing to my father then to me. Growing as a child, I spent my time in my old little house with my best friend, as know as my grandmother. However, it got replaced by a brand new house and she passed away due to cancer; therefore, most of my childhood memories got forgotten day by day. We used to go to the supermarket every weekend by public bus in Vietnam. Since she is not here with me anymore, I...

...1. Complex question but simple understanding. My daughter has a way of coming up with awkward question and at times you are baffled with their unexpected questions. One such thing happens to me sometimes back. The T.V was on but I wasn’t really watching, my mind was plastered on the meeting that I was going to be held tomorrow, but my daughter’s curiosity had the better of me. It was 19:30 and during the news report it was inevitable that the PM had to be mentioned. My daughter precipitously looked at me with a puzzle face and asked “Dad, what is a Prime Minister.” It took me sometimes before I could response; my daughter was only nine years old. I tried to explain that a Prime Minister is a leader of a group of individuals who takes decision for all people in a country and ensure people live in peace, harmony and gets all the need we require. My daughter looked at me and said “So you are the Prime Minister” Great thinking. Yes as a matter of fact I am the Prime Minister of my house; I ensure peace, harmony and get all the needs for my family. From there on it was much easier to carry on the explanation. I am the Prime Minster of my house and there is another Prime Minster of the country in which there are many, many houses. Simple understanding for a complex question. Progressively when we grow up we are surrounded with sophisticated and contemporary thinking. With the passage of time unknowingly we lose our creativity and simplicity. In our complicated...

...writing a paper about myself all thoughts that come to my mind are totally vain. I want to use all the descriptive adjectives that I can possibly thank of, and embellish on any good features that I have. I thought about all the awards that I had won in high school and gotten at church and thought surely I must let everyone know about these. I pondered how well I dress and thought this is a must read issue. I gave a lot of thought to my good looks and thought I certainly can incorporate this in my paper. Then I looked into the mirror and asked myself, who are you, really and the answer came back to me. I am someone that wears many different hats. Some are quite perplexed but most are just that of the average guy, Average, that’s one word I never use in describing myself, for I always think of me as very extraordinary. So I decided to share with the world who I really am. It is amazing that when asked, “who am I” the first thing that comes to mind is “what am I”. So often we define ourselves by the “what’s” (job title, social status, degrees and accolades, etc.) rather than the “who’s” (believer in Jesus Christ, loving mother, dedicated to meeting the needs of friends and love ones). When beginning this assinment the major things that came to mind were the what’s rather than who and what are my worldviews? For me it took a lot of thought and examination to really determine “Who Am I”. This paper will demonstrate who I am from creation, early childhood, teen years, early...

...growth. I first heard about it from Brian Tracy. He cited Seven Habits and The Success Principles as two books he would highly recommend from beyond his own books. When I later saw some promotional material from Jack Canfield himself, I took a look. He provides a series of short lessons based on the book, and I took those combination of written and audio lessons and decided on the book. I also ordered and read the teen version of the book as a sort of primer for this book. The book is 473 pages including the index, plus an additional thirty or so pages in the introduction. Once you get into the meat of the book, there are 64 Principles covered in a relatively short chapters (some really short, some a little longer than others). All in all, it takes only a few minutes to read a given chapter. I think this would make a really good study for a group for more than a year – with weekly meetings. There is also a teen version of the book that only deals with versions of the first 21 principles. I. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SUCCESS 1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life This is the only way to have power: be 100% responsible for your own life. This does not mean you always have control over outside circumstances, but you take full responsibility to take control of yourself in those situations. You have to give up all your excuses. E+R=O.
