This Monday, I ventured to the nearby Child Daycare center, Bright Beginnings, in an attempt to analyze the behavior of children. Upon arriving, I was greeted with what I expected before I set foot on the premise: chaos. As an adult, kids are drawn to you for some odd reason, mostly because they look up to you, figuratively and literally. As time passed, I screened out the kids and chose 2 which particularly caught my attention. Child one was a big 5 year old kid that seemed extremely introverted by nature. Child two was diminutive in stature but not lacking in personality. Through observing these kids, I gained a greater grasp on kids’ behavior, and why they behave the way they do.…
While researching information on colonization I have found the inhumane treatment of natives appalling. Queen Elizabeth granted Sir Walter Raleigh money to send colonists to implement her rules and religion upon the natives in Ireland, Newfoundland, and Virginia. Sir Humphrey Gilbert made several trips in these efforts but was lost at sea. Several more voyages were made to the New Lands in efforts to colonize but failed. Jamestown was the first successful colony.…

He misses being able to play golf and go dancing weekly, so now he has to resort to just watching these on television. In addition, he is very anxious about falling down and being forced to live in a nursing home where he would lose his independence. He has to climb stairs in order to get to his apartment and the elevator is far away, so this is a major concern for him. In addition, it has become increasingly difficult to be able to clean his own living space, but he does not want to have to spend the money on a maid service. However, he mentioned that all things considered, he feels he is very lucky health-wise compared to other people his age. Although he can no longer drive at night, he still travels to the grocery store, local family members’ homes, and the bike path. Also, A.R. is able to go for half-mile walks on the path four to five times per week, which he feels is rather impressive for a man in his…
According to Piaget’s stages Diana is in preoperational stage because for example, she played with her friends building a sturdy house of plants’ leaves acting as if it was a princess castle. Also she used branches of the trees as if they were magic wands, so I realized that Diana is in the section of mental representation (Make-believe-play). Another example that I realized was that Diana’s mother offered a juice, and gave her a choice of a bottle or a glass and she chose the bottle allowed more amount than the glass.…
In “Dealing with Feelings,” an article excerpted from a college textbook “Communicate!,” the author Rudolph F. Verderber indicates the best way to deal with feelings is by describing them rather than withholding or displaying them. The author explains, first, withholding feelings, hiding them inside and not giving any clue to their existence, is an inappropriate way of dealing with feelings. Psychologists believe that when people withhold feelings, they can cause physical problems as well as psychological problems. However, when facing an inconsequential situation like being bothered by a stranger at a party, withholding feelings can be considered appropriate way. Second, displaying feelings – that is, expressing feelings with physical reaction, considered an appropriate way when the feelings you experience are positive. On the other hand, displays can be disadvantageous to communication when the feelings are negative although it may be good for you physically. The last one, describing feelings, which is considered the best way to manage the feelings, is putting your feeling into words in a moderate way. Thus, people can be taught to how to treat you in a right way. Besides, it increases positive communications when you interpret the feelings by words. For instance, if you tell Paul that you are flattered by his visiting, you are encouraging Paul to come visit you again; likewise, if you tell Cliff you are angry when he borrows your jacket without permission, Cliff is more likely to ask for the next time. Even though describing feelings is important, the author mentions that more and more people nowadays don’t describe their feelings and gives several reasons for that. The author also gives the steps to describing feelings; first, interpret your feelings properly and accurately by words, then state what triggered the feelings, and then make sure you indicate that the feelings are yours. It is easier to start by describing positive feelings, then negative…
I was able to observe the members of the Oklahoma International Seventh-day Adventist Church during three church services and fellowships for my observation project. During this time, I focused on three main points: their justification for their particular set of beliefs, what they believe sets them apart from the beliefs of other denominations, and if there are any old belief systems that no longer apply to the modern world. Seventh-day Adventists are a group of Christians that worship on the Saturday, the seventh day. They believe that their day of worship is correct due to the fourth commandment in the Bible. The fourth commandment commands people to keep the seventh day, Sabbath holy and to honor it. It is a day set aside to focus completely on God. During this observation I was introduced to a new concept of "righteousness by faith". Seventh-day Adventists believe this distinguishes them from all other religions and denominations. Righteousness by Faith consists of three parts: repentance, faith in God for atonement of sins, and grace that allows people to obey the laws of God. When I asked if…

The purpose of this study was to conduct observations, using two different methods, on children, between the ages of 4-5, to understand their emotional behaviors in a social and learning environment as well as determining which method of observation was more reliable. There are different methods of conducting observations, but two main ones include naturalistic observation and experimental observation. A naturalistic observation method is when a researcher studies a person or group in their natural environment or setting; the behavior that is observed is one that occurs in a person’s everyday life. In contrast, an experimental observation method is when a researcher is studying a specific behavior in a laboratory-like environment.…
To fully understand the law with respect to business, you need to be able to read and understand court decisions. To make this task easier, you can use a method of case analysis that is called briefing. There is a fairly standard procedure that you can follow when you “brief” any court case. You must first read the case opinion carefully. When you feel you understand the case, you can prepare a brief of it. Although the format of the brief may vary, typically it will present the essentials of the case under headings such as those listed below.…
