Character Strengths
The topics presented in the media from Character Strengths and Virtues is very important and will definitely impact my behavior when I work with the LEGO kits. The media provided proved to be very useful, but there were several points with which made me realize just how important it was to follow the guidelines that the lectures and and book provided. Patience and taking responsibility for one’s actions are points continuously made. It is important to practice both of these behaviors in order to succeed in life. For example, in the Marshmallow Challenge, young children were given a marshmallow and told that they could eat it, but if they held off for a little while, then they would another. Many of the toddlers took the high road and waited,

    Strengths And Weaknesses

    I find writing a very neutral subject because I am not terrible nor excellent at it. I have always written enough for it to be satisfactory. Therefore, I believe that one of my strengths as a writer is being able to understand what I have to write about and knowing what I want to say. I question myself every step of the way, asking myself “ Is what I am writing, answering the topic that I am addressing?” However, with that said, I believe that my weakness lies in that fact that I cannot put my thoughts into words. I have a vast amount of ideas that never get a chance to come alive on paper. I feel that I am not very good at transitions and sentence structures. Another weakness is that it takes me an awful long…

    That Hideous Strength Character Analysis

    In the world, there is a constant battle between good and evil. It is a choice that all men and women have to make at some point in life. This is demonstrated in “That Hideous Strength,” as the main characters, Mark and Jane, are in a state of dissatisfaction and must simultaneously make a decision. Jane is displayed as choosing the good side. However, the choice was not always easy and sometimes frightening. As truth of the world was revealed to her, she had to learn to trust the gift she had been given and use it to draw closer to the good. At the same time, Mark chooses a different path. As he chooses evil, he falls victim and swiftly reaches a desperate point of no escape. Mark may not have realized it at first, but it did not take long…

    The Strengths Quest Analysis

    We tend to obsess over our weaknesses rather than recognizing our strengths, but the strengths quest introduced us to a different philosophy. Instead of dwelling on our weaknesses or desperately trying to turn them into strengths, we should focus on the strengths we already have and built upon them to succeed. The Strengths Quest presentation was my favorite part of the course. The Strengths Quest is a 30-minute online assessment that asks us a series of questions and determines what our five top strengths are based on our choices. The presentation helped us gain insights on how to use our strengths to our advantage. We learned about each of our strengths and how they can help us succeed in academics, work, relationships, and choosing a career.…

    I am really good at playing basketball with my friends and I also like to spend time with my family. I am also good at playing football and other sports but basketball and football are my main ones. One of my strengths is that I am good with what I say and meaning it.

    Lego My Lego

    I agree with Brown when he says “kids are cheated of an opportunity” because Lego comes with instructions because Lego is mean to expand children’s imagination. Lego is a bunch of colourful blocks and when kids sit in front of it, they may put a few pieces together and then realize it looks like something, like a dragon, or a sword or a ship, and they may use their imagination to create objects from the Lego blocks. The kids are cheated of an opportunity to expand their minds. If Lego comes with instructions, there’s no fun or outside the box thinking going on. Kids would follow the instructions and build for example a ship, but if they built it wrong or found it hard to put together, they may feel stressed or feel like if they make anything but a ship, then what they are doing is wrong because it’s not in the instructions. I strongly agree with Brown, kids are cheated of an opportunity. When we our young, is mind is still growing, and there may be a lot more going on in a kids mind then someone might think, and unstructured play would help kids express their feelings through building and playing on their own. With instructions to Lego they will not have an opportunity to express themselves, even if kids don’t follow instructions, they will feel as if there needs to be a right way to play, and that can’t be healthy for kids. Kids need to use their imagination and be as stress free as possible. Lego without instructions is like the building blocks of a child’s mind, they can use the blocks to build up their feelings and thoughts and create their own world where there are no rules and anything is possible. In the end it can help them grow and figure themselves out by seeing how creative they can really be and how much happier they will be by living out their own imagination. With instructions, kids are being cheated of this…

    Heroism Strengths And Weaknesses

    Heroism is something that has been greatly admired across numerous cultures around the world yet defining what it truly means to be a hero has been the cause of debate for centuries. The measure of a true hero and the definition of the word has evolved over time and varies among different cultures and so their concept of a hero often contradicts that of the one we know today. Many have sought out to define the meaning of the word hero and although the Raglan Hero Pattern remains amongst the most popular systems to assess these heroic individuals, it does in fact have its limitations. As the scoring system was essentially designed in an effort to discredit the historicity of Jesus Christ, there are many weaknesses within the system when interpreting…

    The Six Pillars Of Character Analysis

    Hypothetically, I am applying at local police after completing the police academy. One friend of mine from college actually work for the same department. However, she decided not to mention the fact that we were arrested for marijuana our freshman year, reason being is that the charges were dropped because the search the officers ducted was illegal. She also advised me that the department does not conduct polygraph as part of the hiring process. I now have the decision to either lie on the form or tell the truth about the incident. I know if that if I lie eventually I will be found out, but I believe that the long-ago arrest will never become known. If I don’t lie, I will be asked to explain the situation of the arrest and my friend will be implicated in the story.…

    Strengths and Weaknesses

    My strengths and weaknesses define who I am. My strengths help me become a better person and my weaknesses keep me fighting to be that better person. Recognizing my own personal strengths I am able to build on them and use them towards my advantage. I believe these attributes make you who you are and show your true abilities as a person. The famous quote, “My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength”, by Michael Jordan, are wise words spoken to motivate one into thinking about the way they choose to life their life and how they go about it. Everyone has his or her own weaknesses; it is what you do with it that makes you who you are.…
