Dare has been a very entertaining and informational class. In this paper I will explain what I have learned in Dare, how I have used the information from Dare, and how I plan to use the information from Dare. I think that the facts that I have learned from Dare will change people's thoughts and lives. A couple facts I have learned from Dare are that there are 75,000 alcohol related deaths each year in the U.S. Alcohol slows down the brain and body. There are 200 harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke and smokers have more colds and upper-respiratory problems. I have learned a ton from Dare, such as how to make safe and responsible choices. You can do that by first defining the situation then assessing it. Also you could think about the consequences

  • Project Classroom Makeover By Cathy Davidson Analysis

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    In earlier times, the acquisition and spreading of knowledge was not used to improve society. Instead it was used to have control and to exclude certain groups. As one could imagine, there needed to be a change in the way that the education system was set up. In her essay, “Project Classroom Makeover”, Cathy Davidson discusses how the “one size fits all” model of learning hinders students from learning in a new and modernized way. She suggests the notion that using technology to teach and learn can be effective in many ways. Davidson shows that using technology presents the opportunity for a traditional classroom to become more inclusive and creative. The “democratization of knowledge” is the improvement and modernization of how information is taught and learned. Having a modernized and advanced learning system is a vital point for students because they gain insight and experience with what is considered a society dominated by advanced technology. Technology has become a dominant resource in the 21st century which makes it a relevant and essential factor needed to succeed in the world of education and

  • Underage Drinking Research Paper

    721 Words  | 2 Pages

    A lot of the time, teens think it is ‘cool’ to drink because everyone else does it. Almost every television show that young people watch have some underage substance abuse, leading adolescents to believe that it can’t be that bad. While society plays a big part in this huge problem, both teens and parents need to learn that there can be severe consequences from as little as one drink. Allowing them to think this kind of behavior is acceptable will haunt them for the rest of their lives, even if they are not alcohol related. Believing that such behavior is acceptable now will lead them to bad decision-making skills in the future when faced with an ethical decision. Teens need to know the major effects can come from underage drinking before going to that party or when being pressured into something they may not be willing to participate in. It is obvious that the long and short-term effects of alcohol abuse can be easily avoided by getting educated and thinking before engaging in any self-destructive

  • Effectiveness of Evidence-Based Alcohol Counseling

    The EBP that I chose is BASICS it is designed to help students make better alcohol-use decisions.” Students often conform to patterns of heavy drinking they see as acceptable while holding false beliefs about alcohol's effects or actual alcohol-use norms. “The program's style is empathetic, not confrontational or judgmental, and 1) reduces alcohol consumption and its adverse consequences; 2) promotes healthier choices among young adults; and, 3) provides important information and coping skills for risk reduction. BASICS is an alcohol skills training program (ASTP) that aims to reduce harmful consumption and associated problems in students who drink alcohol. The key elements underlying the ASTP approach include 1) the application of cognitive-behavioral self-management strategies 2) the use of motivational enhancement techniques; and, 3) the use of harm reduction

    ...Our ability to be flexible in our thought and adapt them to new situations is how we change in modern society. Changes in thoughts and action creates solution, it makes a difference to other individuals and society. Thought alone cannot make any progress but if you apply thought and action to solve problems then you can produce a change. The experimental method teaches people how to use science and relate it to facts and values, as a method of reaching solutions to problems. Also the action of talking, thinking and drawing inferences, responding and providing feedback improves the relationship. This method works in every aspect of our lives; we use this method when forming relationships with others. When we learn from past experiences and work together with each other, we can relate with each other, we can learn from each other and better our understanding.

  • Binge Drinking Essay

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    Binge drinking have caused safety risks in motor vehicle crashes, drunk-driving arrests, sexual assaults, and injuries as National Institute on Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism presents it. In addition, Dr. Iconis (2014) states that students who are under the influence of alcohol are most likely to be arrested by policies that a student does not binge drink or does not drink at all. College students who binge drink are usually unable to control their own actions in just a few hours and can cause a lot of problems for themselves and to their peers. Considering these students can’t even control their own actions, how could they be expected to drive home safely? The answer is simple; many of them don’t. Furthermore, many students are either caught for DUI (drunk driving) or they get into car accidents. These accidents can cause many different injuries or even death. So, it is not only dangerous for the person who binge drink but also for the society and the people around

  • Summary On Dare The School Build A New Social Order

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book, Dare The School Build a New Social Order by George Counts, is an examination of teachers, the Progressive Education Movement, democracy and his idea on how to reform the American economy. The book is divided into 5 different sections. The first section is all about the Progressive Education Movement. Through this, George Counts points out many downsides and weaknesses of this ideal. He also talks about how he wants teachers to lead society instead of following it. In the second section, he examines 10 widespread fallacies. These fallacies were that man is born free, that children are born free, they live in a separate world of their own, education remains unchanged, education should have no bias, the object of education is to produce professors, school is an all-powerful educational agency, ignorance rather than knowledge is the way of wisdom, and education is made to prepare an individual for social change.

  • Lessons Learned the Hard Way

    1090 Words  | 3 Pages

    Life is filled with lessons, and often times there are little reminders to keep those lessons in our minds for later use. Sometimes lessons learned in life are learned the hard way, like in Cole’s instance. One of the lessons Cole learned is in order to heal he must first right his wrongs; stop blaming those around him for his problems, and to forgive. To Cole, these were just cliché sayings repeated on and on by others around him who didn’t trust. He always brushed these words aside thinking he could do everything on his own and life only revolved around him. After being mauled by the Spirit Bear and having to survive on his own, he began to open his eyes for the first time. He began to grasp it was not anyone’s fault but his own he was stuck in his position. Cole finally started to recognize if he held on to his grudge against his father he would never be able to let go of his horrible past and start living again. Most importantly, Cole learned he could never live with himself if he did not help Peter Driscal. I think this life lesson Cole learned will forever be symbolized by the Spirit Bear. Without the bear, Cole would have never learned integrity and being trusted is real power, not the fake power of freighting people into doing what he says.

    Alcohol is a very serious and dangerous drug, although it is not treated this way anymore. College students have taken drinking to a new level in which, for many, is very scary. Alcohol is much more dangerous than many would think. Kids see a night of drinking as a great way to have fun and party but do not see the consequences. Getting drunk and even blacking out can lead to many problems. When alcohol is consumed in unhealthy amounts, it can lead to not only short-term effects, but long-term ones as well.

  • Reflection on the Use and Abuse of Alcohol

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most people do not realize that alcohol is a drug that claims the lives of youth in college campuses across the world. In my case, it took the encounter with the ORL staff at UCLA for me to come to understanding that I am putting myself and those around me in danger through my risky drinking habits. With hours of self-reflection and the help of a cosmopolitan article called The Deadly Drinking Mistakes Smart Girls Make, I have found that there are several risks associated with alcohol that can put me at a quarrel with death. Even so, drinking does not always need to be deadly, and by keeping in mind the well-being of my fellow bruins and the skills mentioned in the article, I can find a balance between drinking for fun and drinking till death.

  • Reflection Of The Syllabus

    1736 Words  | 4 Pages

    The inclusion of engaging activities in this course is not completely clear from the information provided in the syllabus. While details about the texts that will be covered throughout the tentative course outline are shared, there is very little information on the actual learning activities that will be completed by students. In several areas of the syllabus, lists of activity types are given without description. It is stated that students will conduct research, work in groups, keep journals, and take quizzes, but there is no additional information about the expectations or format these assignments will take. The depth of knowledge on these activities is unclear, but may be an area of concern. Rigor is mentioned, but not substantiated with examples or evidence. While this may not be indicative of the actual learning experiences that students complete in class, the actual information on the syllabus guides the reader to the conclusion that students will primarily remain in the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, for example remembering and understanding, in regards to thinking skills accessed (Ainsworth, 2010, Reeves, 2006). With additional explanation, any confusion or doubt about the focus and purpose of the assignments for this course would be
