While designing any lesson plan, it is important to keep in mind that what is being done in the classroom affects students when they get out into the real world. Thus educators must prepare students to not only be able to learn on their own but also to feel empowered to do so. Hence, it is important to take into consideration the sociocultural perspectives in order to ensure one is not simply domesticating students for a job. Further, when specifically teaching about comprehension, as with anything, it must not be assumed that students know how to complete a task. Rather educators must focus assignments around comprehensions skills as well as content in order to appropriately teach students the discourse of a particular subject.…
“[On one view of proprietary estoppel] ‘unconscionaibility has no independent existence for it is defined purely in terms of three factual requirements. The corollary is, of course, that unconscionability exists by definition whenever there is an assurance, reliance and detriment, because non-performance of the assurance after the detriment will always be unconscionable. Such a view is at odds with those who view unconscionability as at the heart of the doctrine – in the sense of providing its underlying rationale – because, quite simply, it denies the concept of any discernable meaning.”…

Do not give students the answers. Have students come up with the answers on their own, then they could discuss with a classmate, then the whole class would discuss the correct answer and why. While students are working in groups, the teacher would be walking around and looking at student’s notes to see their understanding. If you see that there is more than one approach to the answer, then call on the different students with the different approaches so there could be variety.…
Diffusion of responsibility is a sociopsychological phenomenon whereby a person is less likely to take responsibility for action or inaction when others are present. Pluralistic ignorance is a situation in which a majority of group members privately reject a norm, but incorrectly assume that most others accept it, and therefore go along with it. My example represents more of the diffusion of responsibility. The one that best represents my video is pluralistic ignorance. People at the mall would look everyone else acting like they would help and if no one was helping her then there wasn’t an emergency. Even the people that went up to check on her, they looked around to see if anyone else was reacting to it and if they weren’t they just walked…
Set up against the rampant industrialization of the 18th century, Charles Dickens classic novella “A Christmas Carol” endorses the notion that all people have a responsibility to ensure the safety and welfare of every member of society. By taking his seemingly irredeemable protagonist Ebenezer Scrooge on an other worldly journey. Dickens intends to convey to the complacent classes of the age, the necessity of various traits that are essential in life, such as the responsibility for those whom are less fortunate and other vital traits such as charity, generosity and simply caring for others. Dickens warns the reader of the consequences that will follow if these lessons are not taken into consideration.…
Grasping the idea of sexual assault and rape can be a difficult task. We know of it within our world, but it may not effect us in our own lives. Vulnerability is a more comprehensible feeling.

Her longing for acknowledgement leads to the extremely unfortunate event, meeting Arnold Friend. Connie’s low self-esteem, constant need for male attention, and lack of judgment force her to be helpless to the manipulative people she attracts.…
The debate over mental illness and homelessness has been around for years. Everyone has a view or an opinion about whether or not mental illness is related to homelessness. The fact is that most people who are mentally ill cannot do the basic things that are needed to be able to maintain a balanced life, therefore they find themselves out on the streets. Statistics show that most people who are living on the streets suffer from some type of mental illness. Some people may say that this is a life that they chose for themselves and some people may say that the mentally ill have no choice. And this is why we must do something about the problem because whether you agree or disagree the fact is every time you drive down the street or go into a store the face of the homeless is there.…

Generally speaking, a lack of hope can push an individual down a dark path of risk-taking, deviant, or even criminal behavior. Hope is a critically important positive mind set for people to possess. When one lacks hope, he or she does not care about much in life. If that type of attitude exists, then what stops this individual from doing things that are immoral and criminal? In addition, not being able to hope for or look forward to particular events in the future might lead an individual to act out against others. Again such behaviors are criminal in nature. And finally, the negativity that is associated with a lack of hope in one’s life may lead this person to act out against others who are seen as the cause of it. Unfortunately, a lack of hope just contributes to the increase in crime in America.…

The role of ignorance in the novel, The Things They Carried, pertains around the idea of life and death and the way the soldiers become affected by certain events. Most notably, Azar is ignorant of his surroundings. He views Vietnam as a game, as he is always messing around and being immature. For example, “Azar shrugged. After a second he reached out and clapped [Tim] on the shoulder, not roughly but not gently either. ‘What’s real?’ he said. ‘Eight months in fantasyland, it tends to blur the line. Honest to god, I sometimes can’t remember what real is’”(O’Brien 204). Mentioned in the chapter, “Ghost Soldiers”, Azar explains to Tim why he justifies the two of them scaring Jorgensen. Through this quote, we are able to see the “positive” ignorance that is displayed.…
