Recommended: Challenges of effective interpersonal communication

For this final role play I felt very confident in my ability to have a successful conversation. Looking back to my very first experience, I can see where I have grown, and where I still need to improve. I was surprised from the very beginning to see how easy it was to stay in character when I was acting out something I was experiencing in my everyday life. After going through a couple of these I felt I could deal with the actual problem in my life without it going wrong. I do not think that I will be quite as assertive in real life, as I was in my role play, but I still think I gave me a good place to start. For this role play I chose to create a situation where I had to tell my best friend that I was not going to be rooming with her next year. This is something that I am struggling with because I do not want to hurt her feeling, but rooming with her is really hard for me. I feel like if I tell her that I don’t want to room with her, it might ruin our friendship, but I know if we keep rooming together it will ruin our friendship because we are so different. While I was acting this out with my listener I notice that I would have a hard time finding the words I need to say in response to hard questions she gives me. When my listener asked me if she had done anything in particular that …show more content…

I feel that from the first role play I have definitely gotten better at having difficult conversations that I will probably have to be a part of in my real life. I still feel like there are things I say during role plays that I would have a hard time saying in a real conversation because there is so much more at stake in a real conversation. None the less, having these experiences have given me something to go off of when I do have to be in these conversations. By the time I have to confront my roommate about the issues I am having with our situation I think that I will be much more prepared for the

  • Catalina de Erauso: On Playing Gender Roles

    1469 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Spain and the Spanish colonies in South America in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, gender roles were distinct and the opportunity gap was enormous. Catalina de Erauso compares the two roles through her memoir, “Lieutenant Nun,” where she recounts her life as a transvestite in both the new and old world. Through having experienced the structured life of a woman as well as the freedom involved in being a man, de Erauso formed an identity for herself that crossed the boundaries of both genders. Catalina de Erauso’s life demonstrates the gap in freedom and opportunity for women, as compared to men, in the areas of culture, politics and economy, and religion.

  • The Road to Escape: An Analysis of Acting and Role Playing

    932 Words  | 2 Pages

    Acting is the performing of a position or the role of a character for a temporary amount of time. Richard Yates’ Revolutionary Road, a tragic novel, challenges the preconceived notion that the 1950’s was a cheerful time where everyone had the perfect lifestyle in the Suburbs by introducing his readers to three distinct characters who are anything but pleased with their life. Yates proposes the idea of escape as a common thread in society of which everyone dreams, but no one can capture. Due to their desire to escape reality, April, Frank, and Helen turn to acting and role playing to change their personalities through hiding flaws, putting on a happy façade, and playing house.

Play is also important in fostering cognitive development, social development, language and communication, moral development, self-regulation, and sense identity.

Family, Media and Peers are said to have influenced my views concerning the role I am to play society. All of these factors had one thing in common. They all were influencing me to behave according to my gender. Everything from the clothes I wore to the toys I played with contributed to this. Even now as a young adult my dreams and aspirations are built around the gender roles that were placed on me.

  • Self-reflection: An interviewing style evaluation

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    In conclusion, the role-play interview helped me have a better view of my interview skills, including skills that I am able to apply appropriately and those that I have to keep practising. Through this session, I came to know that I am good at using questions to know more about my clients. However, I need to improve my listening skill in order to understand my clients’ points of view. This may also help me to respect their values after learning more about the situations. Therefore, I will be less led by my biases after understanding my clients’ perspectives. Hence, I believe that self-reflections help counsellors to be aware of their strengths and improve their counselling skills in order to help others.

  • Acting: The Art of Becoming All Characters Inside One Body

    1475 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to “The Art of the Actor: The Essential History of Acting, from Classical Times to the Present Day” by Jean Benedetti, “Acting is a way of showing our understanding of the world and passing it on to other people” (1). Such affirmation has proven itself to be true if history is taken into consideration. One of the oldest forms of art and career throughout history, acting has established itself as one of the most prominent and yet unstable careers of all times. Its vast history provides anyone who dares to become an actor with a great understanding of the different societies throughout the years and profound meaning to why, despite all adversities, it is still one of the most wanted careers. More than only a job, and differently from many work fields, acting is about passion and the ability to transmit reality within fantasy. But why acting? Because it is a career related to every other existing one; and being successful in it requires more than what one would think.

  • Play Stage: Genesis of the Self

    438 Words  | 1 Pages

    George Herbert Mead is a philosopher who coined the theory Genesis of the self. Mead, believes " the self develops through contact with others." Play Stage, as defined by George Ritzer is, "the first stage in the genesis of the self in which a child plays at being someone else." In play a child is acting out that of a role model in their life. Such example may include dressing up as parents, teachers, doctors, construction workers, police officers and so on. In an article called Genesis of the Self and Social Control by George Herbert Mead, it states "the child is acquiring the roles of those who belong to his society." This simply means, the child is imitating the roles of people around him/her in society and is putting themselves in place of those who fulfill this role hoping to imagine, and achieve them. According to the genesis of the self, play stage begins with simple gestures and gradually moves up in difficulty to running away when being chased or using symbols to interact. The different role playing a child goes through is what I am trying to symbolize with these pictures. Children learn, grow, act, and communicate through play. A child learns the way the world operates, by attempting to assume a role of an adult. Such examples may include play with a doll and dress up, which demonstrates a motherly roll. This involves taking care of the "baby, and feeding them, in addition to them looking the part.

I was completely touched by her passion on pursuing the principles of education and engaging the most fundamental and core values of education. I would like to say that the educator Chen Xueqin is a pioneer in the early childhood education field and is my personal hero. Anji play is a brilliant workshop that every educator should attend. This workshop encompasses so much of what I could try to develop in relation to education and young children.
