This week was challenging, and I enjoyed it. I had the opportunity to read some amazing papers, and to participate in an ethical math discussion. I feel that I'm learning more about myself by interacting with my classmates I never thought that I’d learn so much in so little time. Reading about wonderful organizations, and seeing the impact that they’re having on the community gives me hope for the future. I’m no longer surprised by the things that I’m learning, and reading about similar situations that I’ve encountered is refreshing. I’ve been able to share my stories with others, and it’s been amazing. The course outcomes have been a driving force for my final paper. I’ve used the information that has been presented to enhance my learning
I have enjoyed meeting new people and have enjoyed the open day in Cardiff this week. This has helped me gain confidence on studying again.
Abortion has been a political, social, and personal topic for many years now. The woman’s right to choose has become a law that is still debated, argued and fought over, even though it has been passed. This paper will examine a specific example where abortion is encouraged, identify the Christian world views beliefs and resolution as well as the consequences of such, and compare them with another option.
Orientation, introduction, moving in classes, fraternity exams midterm finals, all flying by with the roar of drag car screaming past you on the side. That is how this past semester has felt like. So far everything has been a blur, "tunnel visioned" towards the end that is now wider as I start to comprehend all of the emotions and information from this past semester. Sitting here in front of my computer finishing on of the last essays I will write this semester about the thing that I have done this semester. Tired, hungry and wanting to go home have been the reoccurring themes so far in my college career.
I have learned many valuable things in contemporary American culture, and this class has enabled me to view our world in a different light. I now know that advertisements try to make me believe they can sell me love and happiness. I now understand that a simpler life can bring me far greater joy than any item I buy in a store. Americans should not be ignorant to factors that affect their daily lives. Over the Thanksgiving holiday break I thought about what was really important in my life surrounded by friends and family, and I truly believe that nothing else in this world could compare with my relationship with my family.
This week was very exciting in terms of my informational interviews and being able to work security at a music event. The informational interviews not only helped being the classroom to the real world but also provided me with real examples to better strengthen the connection. I also learned a lot in terms of dealing with the public in a busy environment and how to most successfully defuse a situation in which alcohol and attitudes are involved.
In this assignment we will be identifying an ethical dilemma an individual has experienced. We will begin with a short introduction of what an ethical dilemma is, moving on to providing brief details of the dilemma an individual has experienced. We will then go on to selecting one ethical theory, to show how it can help an individual understand and deal with the situation when placed within, followed by a conclusion.
Title: Ethical Dilemmas in Reporting Suspected Child Abuse: A Case Study Analysis. Abstract: This research essay explores the ethical issues surrounding the case of a young girl suspected of abuse by her father, as described by her concerned sibling. Using Rae's methodology for ethical decision-making, the essay examines the various considerations involved in reporting such abuse, including the potential consequences for the family, the credibility of the accuser, and the duty to protect the vulnerable. The essay also considers the role of institutions, such as the church and Child Line, in addressing cases of suspected abuse.
Last but not least, the challenging part of this week’s assignments was the discussion forum. First I struggled to comprehend the questions, but after reading it over and over and searching on the internet for similar questions, I somewhat understood the questions. Then I drafted the answer and posted, and I was also excited to see others posts too. By going through my peer’s posts, I learned a great deal in approaches to the questions. Some of the answers were very interesting and detailed. The feedback that I received from my peers made me think about the questions as well which was
As I ponder over this semester, I think of what I had learned and retained. Professor Brell brought many interesting topics to discuss in class, many of which I have never discussed before in a class. The reading assignments were great as well, as they broadened my knowledge on many issues schools and societies have faced, or are currently facing. I also enjoyed my interview with Rayan, in which I gained an appreciation for a religion that is completely different from my own. Lastly, I participated as a tutor in a kindergarten class located at the Asa Messa School, the students really opened my eyes on many issues we as teachers face, as well as an urge to help and educate these students to the best of our ability. Tutoring with Inspiring Minds at an urban school, allowed me to dig deeper in the issues students face with ESL. This experience has helped me with my presentation and solidified my decision to teach ESL in the near future.
Today, as we graduate, with degree nearly in hand, I challenge each of you to make a difference in whatever you do. Remember that life didn't end when we re-entered school. Life continued throughout our program. Even when stretched to the limit, life only got more challenging. And now, graduating, life only changes pace. Our degree completion is not really an ending as much as a new beginning as we re-enter our lives of work and home. We thank all of our family, friends, instructors and co-workers who helped see us through this process. Thank you for this opportunity and good luck to you all.
This semester has changed my life. I gained the courage to go work with Mrs. Golden at Wasatch Elementary because I wanted more experience by watching others! I loved pushing myself and learning about new limits I never knew existed. Every lesson, every observation piqued my interest and pushed me further down the road to become a permanent teacher and
It is hard to believe that one-eighth of my bachelor’s degree is coming to a close. Fortunately it can be said that these past 15 weeks were not at a loss for growth. In my objective opinion, I have grown intellectually, psychologically, socially and professionally, allowing me to become an overall better individual and student here at Marywood University.
When I was in my 1st year of high school, I decided to join the Debate Team of my school because it was one of the extra-curricular activities that really intrigued me. Being a new member, a lot of the methods the veterans of the team used in their speeches surprised me. Before, I thought that debate mostly involved insulting one’s opponent and making him seem stupid. However, I was proven very wrong as that not only fail to provide any substantial argument that would prove any point, but was also banned and could lead to a loss. Most of the topics, which were called motions, were ethical in nature, and through the use of rational premises and arguments, each team should support a side to prove their point. It resembled how we proved certain propositions in Math class when we used postulates and theories. The similarity led me to wonder if the step-by-step method we use to reach a conclusion in math can be used in the topics we discuss in the Debate Team. This leads me to my thesis statement: the nature of Ethics and Mathematics must be changed for both to be compatible.
Through the last 13 weeks I have learned about whom I am and what makes me who I am. I have made some great friends not only my age but also older and younger than me. I have realized many things about myself that I never would have realized if I wouldn’t have came here. College is a whole new experience that you could never imagine unless you are there. It is nothing like you read or even that you watch on TV. It is completely different and you learn a lot about yourself as a person.
The 7th grade class was awesome and totally exceeded my expectations. They were social, well behaved, participated, and were genuinely interested in what we had to say and interested in us and what we had planned for our own future. I have to say that this wasn’t what I was expecting at all. This was a great experience and I’m so happy that we had to participate in this program because I learned so much about the students and what they wanted to do in their future from where they want to attend high school, college, and what they want their future career to be and I hope they all come true for them. I hope they learned so things from my group too that will help them with their future
