1. Title of the Article:
Taking Responsibility
2. Author:
Patrick Guntensperger
3. Explain in two or three sentences why you have chosen this article.
I have chosen this article because I concerned about the environment. Not everybody can have a good way on taking responsibility to the environment; and this article shows us how to do it. Therefore, I want to know what I have to do as my planetary liabilities.
4. Explain briefly in four or five sentences what the article is about.
This article tells us that nowadays, people and industries do not really care about the sustainability of the resources they have exploited. The profit to be made is comes first. There are three types of resources; they are renewable resources, partially renewable resources, and nonrenewable resource. Regardless the types of resources, the exploiting agents have their own obligation. Industries may get an enormous profit by exploiting the fossil fuels; but, it is killing softly the environment of our planet.
5. What is the writer’s message or purpose in writing this article?
Based on my analysis, what the writer tried to say is that human, as the actor behind the exploitation of natural resources, is actually attached responsibility. If people want to take something from the environment, it means that they also have

to do the planetary liabilities. For example, for those who make their living from theoretically renewable resources, they have to ensure that the resource is actually renewed. 6. Give your personal comment on the article as a conclusion of your article review. Now, I already know how to have a good way on taking responsibility to the environment. I think this article is clearly described what we have to do to the environment as our planetary liabilities. We are not allowed to exploiting the natural resources without keeping the balance of the ecosystem.

1. Title of the Article:
Emotional Intelligence
2. Author:
Patricia Holt
3. Explain in two or three sentences why you have chosen this article.
I have chosen this article because the topic of the article is interesting me. I like topic about psychological research like what this article is talking about. I also interested with the statement of this article which says: emotional ability is more important than IQ in determining an individual’s success in life.
4. Explain briefly in four or five sentences what the article is about.
This article explains about the famous ‘impulse control’ test at a San Fransisco lecture by Daniel Goleman, called “The Marshmallow Challenge”. He did an experiment that involves a kind man, four-year-children, and some marshmallow during the 1960s. The experiment was continuing dozen years later and he got a result: some children who had resisted eating the marshmallow and waited for the promised double prize were clearly more socially competent than the others. He also stated that if the emotions stored in the brain are those of restraint, selfawareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, empathy, hope, and optimism, then we become endowed with an ‘emotional intelligence’ which is good.

5. What is the writer’s message or purpose in writing this article?
Based on my analysis, the writer of this article tried to explain about recent discoveries in brain research that prove emotional stability is more important than
IQ in determining an individual’s success in life, as stated early on this article.
People who are better in emotional intelligence are more sociable, confident, and have a better strength on facing difficulty.
6. Give your personal comment on the article as a conclusion of your article review. I think this article gives us a very important fact that maybe not everybody knew.
Now, after read this article, I guess we have to develop our emotional intelligence more than before in order to get a successful life. But still, we need to also sharpen our intelligence quotient (IQ) for balancing our mind.
