EDUCATING RITA

At the very beginning of the movie it seem like Dr. Bryant did really want to teach any one.

Because he told his literature class that the sun was shining and they should be making love.

But if you’ll a professor its your job to teach your students regardless if you want to or not. You cant let your personal problems affect your job.

Dr. Bryant didn’t want to teach at the begining . He said it was because of the hours of the university.

But Rita demanded that he tutor her in literature.

Well I guess she won because he started teaching her literature.

Rita had a low self-esteem when first started her tutoring,

She didn’t think that she could as smart as the students at the university.

As time went by rita became more confident in her self and her self-esteem went through the roof.

She soon found out that she could have a conversation with the students,;

She knew things that they didn’t know and I believe that made her feel very smart.

Soon the students wanted susan to hang out with them and talk literature.

She reminds me of my self in a lot of way , I never really feel smart until I came here to the college of new Rochelle.

I do believe anyone can learn ,there isn’t any such thing of stupid people , I just think some people learn quicker than others like my self

It took me to come to college to realize that I do have a brain. That I was smarter than I ever thought.

If a person is confident than they know they will achieve everything they want in

    I thought that I had a certain amount of intelligence and I cannot improve it by practice or by anything. How funny is it because currently I am a biological science major at UC Irvine and my grades in the sciences courses are high? All this variation happened when I started going to American high school at the age of 14 years old. My high school teachers influenced me to stay resilient and keep practicing until I get the thing I want despite all the challenges. Thus, I started to modify my mindset from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. As a high school student, I had desire to absorb and aim to survive through difficulties, learn from criticism, and be inspired by other successful individuals. Referring to Carol Dweck in her book Mindset: The New Psychology Of Success “Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep on going.” Carol argues that mind develops and became smarter each time you challenge it. Also people should imagine how minds works overtime and system new networks, minds can be trained. My high school teachers trained me that making mistakes is fine because if you do not make faults in your life you do not attempt hard sufficient. And the significant thing is to pay attention to…

    Two men who had a big influence on civil rights were Henry David Thoreau, and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. They both believed in standing up for what they believed in, and disobeying unjust laws. Although they were disobeying unjust laws, they still were disobeying Laws, which is why both men suffered consequences from the law. Thoreau spent a night in jail for not paying a poll tax, which he didn’t pay because of his opposition to the Mexican –American War. Meanwhile, Dr.MLK was arrested for “marching without a permit”. He was charged with that because the police couldn’t arrest him for anything else. He created a peaceful protest so it was very hard to charge him with anything more than that. Although they didn’t go to jail for the exact same reason, I believe that that they were portraying the same general message.…

    In a democracy we have a moral duty in general to obey the laws or to attempt altering laws we don’t like through the electoral process. In America civil disobedience cannot be justified since it goes against the ideals of democracy. Living in a country where there are legal solutions to a problem that can take months or years to solve, people must voice their concerns and rebel against the government through grassroots movements and protests. Breaking laws that were created to protect the government and its citizens does not have to involve violence. Sometimes we have to break unjust laws that only benefit certain groups and burden others.…

    The United States is homeland for millions of immigrants who risk their lives for a better existence. In Jefferson’s words, it is a nation in which “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is a country in which equal opportunity if provided for those in search of a better life and our law is meant to apply evenly to citizens and non-citizens alike.

    Throughout our daily lives, everyone needs some sort of certainty in order to build up one’s self esteem. However, the certainty should be to an extent. Living in a world full of confidence is not always the right decision thus it can guide into failure. Although, strong beliefs, or a set of mind that leads to certainty is not wrong at all, especially in today’s society, it has been proven that one’s visualization of things is the dependable factor of the outcome of the activity one is about to do. It develops a confident and certain mentality. This way, one is able to give out positive vibes and inspire others to be the best of themselves ad eventually achieve “virtually anything” even that that seems “impossible” ().The mindset of believing in achieving the impossible is motivation everyone needs to develop a strong character. Relying too much of certainty may not be so good, since it makes you close minded. This is because you are certain of what you say is right, you don’t even listen to other people’s opinion, which brings tension around you. Over analyzing things and always going for what’s right won’t necessarily make you perfect or certain, instead it could guide you…
