1. A scotoma is a blind spot in your mind that prevents you from seeing other information, facts, or ideas, which comes from the way you were raised, the beliefs that you have, or the culture you grew up in. one scotoma I have is that I will fail in the math class , I have always hated math even in elementary school., growing up quickly and becoming a mother at such a young age I dropped out of school early, and when I did return I felt really behind and could not really grasp the concepts in advance math so I would quit.

2. The "cognitive dissonance" principle states that you cannot have two opposing thoughts at the same time. It cannot be both black & white. Negative self-talk has hindered my performance in school. I would tell myself that I couldn't do it after the first week or so and drop out or give up ,for example I started my own business and when it started to pick up I started telling myself I could not do it and backed out . I had really allowed the past experiences and things that I was taught to stop me from succeeding. …show more content…
Two positive habits I have locked on to are: determination and effort I am truly determined to complete school and receive my degree in business, and have also locked on to making the effort so that I could.

    The first “safe harbor” available to an individual taxpayer to avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax would be if the payments of estimated tax are at least as large as 90 % of the tax shown on the return or 100% (110% if adjusted gross income for 2002 and later exceeds 150k) of the tax shown on the return of the preceding taxable year (assuming it showed a tax liability and covered a taxable year of 12 months.) The second “safe harbor” would be if the payments of estimated tax are at least as large as an amount equal to 90% of the tax for the taxable year computed by annualizing the taxable income received for the months in the taxable year ending before the month in which the installment is required to be paid.…

    From the perspective of six pillars of character, if I were Cindie, I would be honest with Lyndell and tell him what’s been bothering me. Hopefully, by keeping quiet about him leaving early, he will feel that I’m trustworthy enough to tell me his problems, whether it’s drinking or any other problems he is facing in his life. I might be able to help him or at least come up with some ideas to help him. I will also respect him more if he can open up to me and is willing to fix his problems. If he continues to leave early, I would have no choice but to report this situation to the store manager because I would feel responsible if something bad happens to the store while I was on duty alone. Apparently, Lyndell is not a responsible person because he leaves work early and makes Cindie do part of his job. Cindie is responsible because even though it got really busy when 10 Japanese customers came in at the same time one night, she rushed through and was able to satisfy the customers’ needs. It is not fair to Cindie that she has to close up by herself and often work the late shift just because she is the “new kid on the block” (Mintz & Morris, 2011). Everybody should be treated equally (Mintz & Morris, 2011).…

    When you establish a functional organizational structure, you are building a hierarchy based on the job role of each employee. Functional organizational structure groups together employees who work toward a common goal. For example, all of your marketing employees would be in the same group. Even if you only have two or three employees who fulfill the marketing role of your small business, you would structure it so one person is in charge, such as the vice president of marketing. His team would consist of a marketing manager and a public relations manager. The functional structure provides focus to the employees, because they know they are working toward a common goal. In this example, the common goal is marketing and promoting the business.…

    Autism Spectrum Disorder is a diagnoses for individual with a group of complex disorders of brain development. This disorder is characterized in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 68 children are diagnosed as being on the spectrum, with boys being four to five times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. As there is no cure for autism, research is on-going to help children and families to decrease the negative effects autism has on those with the diagnoses and this includes studies on medications. In the article, Cognitive Effects of Risperidone in Children with Autism and Irritable Behavior, the effects of the popular drug Risperidone is tested on children on the autism spectrum who also have irritable behaviors, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or disruptive behavior disorders. The focus is on what question the authors are trying to answer by doing this research and what hypothesis is being tested and the concepts that were applied in this process. Other important aspects of this study include the statistical analysis employed in this studies, the variables used and the possibility more and/or different variables may have been used to enhance the outcome of the study. As with any statistical research study, there are going to be limitations. The fact that autism affects so many people, the better understanding we can gain about possible medications and therapies will be helpful to families and educators of people on the autism spectrum.…
