    Inside Rikers Summary

    His newly acquired skills led him to create massive database for the newsletter company and designed an award-winning website. He also trained other Fresh Start graduates to resolve their issues. Thus, it is evident that the rehabilitation program turned him from a drug dealer to a decent web-designer (Wynn, pg. 151). Likewise, Lenny received a job in a telemarketing company, which not only gave him the sense of accomplishment, but also made him realize that he can earn money by engaging in legal activities. I also liked how he became an inspiring figure to other inmates enrolled in the Fresh Start program, by telling them about how he has overcome his hardships after he was released from Rikers Island. Thus, these living proofs made me realize how important rehabilitation is. We, as a society, are busy blaming criminals for the crimes they commit, but we do not spend much time trying to help them live a straight, legitimate life (Wynn,…

    Com/156 Week 6 Assignment

    Let us look in on Marley and see the work that he is doing for his people. Marley is a happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever. Marley is a therapy dog that belongs to Melissa, an occupational therapist who works for the Program for Students with Physical Disabilities in a local school district where she lives. She and Marley start their day in the classroom. Jaison, a student, cannot talk, and most of his reactions to his surroundings are either laughing or crying. He is very hesitant to work with Melissa, but with the help of Marley, has been able to come around. Jaison would brush Marley and pet him like they were old buddies. As a matter of fact, after a year of working with Melissa and Marley, Jaison began to utter short words like hello, bye, mommy, yes, and no. As Melissa continues to work with Jaison, you can hear Jaison giving short commands to Marley (sit, down, and catch ball). Melissa is amazed as Jaison is even calling Marley, giving him a treat, and calling him “good boy”. Since Melissa and Marley began working together as a team, there have been many more kids that have accomplished more than they would have accomplished without the use of a therapy…

    Small Groups

    In the essays, “Committees, Juries, and Teams: The Columbia Disaster and How Small Groups Can Be Made to Work,” and “The Hive” shows the ways to properly run a small group and how to get the correct and best results. The two essays also say what to avoid when working in a small group; for example how to avoid group polarization and why that is detrimental to small groups. The essay by James Surowiecki also explains to avoid a type of dictator in the small group, someone who is the main mouthpiece to the group and why that is a negative aspect to have in a small group. The two essays show the pros and cons of working in small groups, both authors show that if the people with in the group do not work properly together the outcome the group is working towards can be deficient. Both authors also show that if the small group works well together and abides by certain rules, the group can have a positive and efficient effect on the problem the group is working towards, like having cognitive diversity in a group. Or another positive thing to have in a small group is equality. The authors touch on the dos and don’ts of a small group environment, when following closely to these suggestions small groups can do the job they were meant to do correctly.…

    The Power Of Group Mentality

    Gender discrimination can be directed towards someone women, men, homosexuals, or drag queens alike. In Susan Faludi’s “The Naked Citadel,” the men of the citadel are naughtily taught to discriminate against women and homosexuals. The men see women as unequal subjects and believe that they should never be granted the opportunity to attend The Citadel. Similarly, homosexuality is looked upon as being abnormal and wrong and anyone who is homosexual is not considered a “real man.” Likewise, in Beth Loffreda’s “Losing Matt Shepard,” the gay men and women are fiercely ostracized. Group mentality plays a huge role in the reason why different groups of people are discriminated against. Large groups have the ability to influence and persuade people into mimicking the way the group thinks and acts. Some individuals oppress their opinions to fit in with a group while others simply abandon their old opinions and adopt new ones as a result of being heavily influenced. Either way, gender discrimination occurs. When one joins a group one understands that he or she has to conform to the group in order to be accepted. The need to be accepted causes one to either oppress one’s opinions or change them altogether. However, when one chooses to oppress his or her opinions, eventually one will act out against the group.…

    Small Groups

    The teaching approach chosen for this assignment is small group teaching. Small group teaching is defined by group size and is usually six to ten participants. I selected small group work as it is an “ideal approach for the development of the social and interpersonal skills necessary for good communication and teamwork that supports a trusting environment” (Denrick, &, Exley, 1988, p111). The main role as leader of a small group is a facilitator. The teaching structure in the learning environment is providing guidance and reinforcement to correct difficulties with learning. It also provides further education to correct knowledge gaps in regards to the learners needs. The authors added that as a facilitator, staying engaged with the students and giving the students the skills to work independently provides a teaching structure to improve learning skills.…
