Educational Philosophy When I was younger, all my friends wanted to be teachers. So, I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher too. As the years went on, I got more serious about actually being a teacher. Many people in my family have been teachers and I always thought it was something I would enjoy. Through being a junior leader in 4-H, I have had the opportunity to work with many young children. Every year at 4-H camp, I come home with a new little brother or sister. When I first wanted to be a teacher, I didn’t really think about what kind of teacher I wanted to be. Through many years of deliberation, deep thought, and exploring my options, I have narrowed down my profession to elementary education. I think that by being an elementary education teacher I will be living a fulfilling and worthwhile life. I feel that I can make a difference and help shape the lives of our youth. It never occurred to me how extensive the teacher’s education program really was until I started taking my first education class. I thought that my love for children and excitement of working with them was all that I needed to be a successful teacher. While I know those are both still very important, I have learned that I also need much more knowledge about children and teaching. Throughout the course of the year, I have learned a lot about the teaching profession, not only through class discussions. I have also learned a great deal through my observation. I always look forward to observing. It is very interesting to actually be out in the field. This year I have learned of the different teaching methods and many philosophies of education. I have decided that for my future classroom, my philosop... ... middle of paper ... ...I will work towards my master’s right after I obtain my bachelor’s degree or if I will instead work through my master’s while I am teaching. These are decisions that I will be better able to make upon graduation from the bachelor’s program at Concord College. That is my eclectic philosophy that I plan to use in my future classroom, as well as my future plans. I feel that each educational philosophy and teaching method has its own importance in today’s society as well as in my future classroom. I am very excited about teaching. And while I know that is still some time from now I am confident that I can use these years of preparation here at Concord to gain the knowledge and experience that I will need to teach my future classroom using my philosophy. My main goal is to be an effective, compassionate, and caring teacher that can make a difference.
A juror of reason would use facts and evidence; instead juror three leaned on stereotypes and prejudices to obscure the truth. He leaned on the fact that the boy was from the slums and the stereotype that he must be up to no good to convince other members that the defendant was just young trash and could not be innocent because of his upbringing. Juror three’s prejudices come from the fact that it is a case involving a young boy who is defying his father. Juror three already has a strong prejudice against children. His son has grown up, challenged his authority and rejected his values. This is why he is so quick to judge the boy on
... I've lived among them all my life. You can't believe a word they say. You know that. I mean, they're born liars.” In this statement you can clearly tell his prejudice against the kid, just because of where he was raised. Juror # 10 and juror # 3 has prejudice against the kid. Juror # 3 has personal experience with a kid like the accused. “Reminded of his own family's personal crisis, Juror # 3 tells the jurors of his own disrespectful, teen aged boy who hit him on the jaw when he was 16. Now 22 years old, the boy hasn't been seen for two years, and the juror is embittered: "Kids! Ya work your heart out."” This is a direct example of juror # 3’s prejudice against the accused. When prejudice was in effect in the movie, it clouded the judgments of the jurors that were prejudice against the boy just because he was raised in the slums.
The book gives a general overview of the field of forensic science. The sections of the book include “The Scene of the Crime; Working the Scene--The Evidence; Working the Scene of the Body Human; Working the Scene--Different Stages; and Working the Scene--Different Skills (Genge vii-viii). Included are instructions on what professionals should do upon arriving at a crime scene, what items to bring with them, how to protect the crime scene, and how to protect the evidence from contamination. In addition to writing about the subject of forensic science, the author also included several appendixes and suggested readings to help the reader learn even more information about the subject. In addition, the author included a list of colleges that offer programs in the field of forensic science.
My next claim is in regards to the “old man” juror. If it were not for him voting not guilty the second time, the boy would have been found guilty. He said the reason he voted that way was because of that one juror standing up to the other 11 jurors. He felt that everyone needed to hear all of the arguments because they were dealing with a man’s life. Thanks to that man, the boy was saved.
Brief history of Forensic, it surfaced in the state of San Francisco in the 1850’s systematic photography was being used to obtain criminal identification. Later on in the 1920’s “Los Angeles Police Department established the first police department crime laboratory in the United States (Forensic science timeline (n.d). Forensic continued to progress over the years to became one of the most innovating fields in the criminal justice system. Forensic help in the prosecution of many cases as well as exclusion of the wrongfully accused (Forensic science timeline (n.d). Forensic tech work primarily for local governments and state in police departments, coroner offices, and crime laboratories. This field is a combination of lab and field work the best of both worlds (Career guide for forensic science technician (n.d). This is what makes Forensic Science Technician the field of interest; the customary duties of a forensic science technician consist of gathering evidence, investigation of evidence collected, and reporting their discoveries in writing and may also be called into a court of law (criminal or civil laws) to present their finding before a judge (Career guide for forensic science technician (n.d).. There are several different areas of expertise in the field of a forensic technicians are often responsible or specialize in particular types of evidence such as biochemistry, ballistics, fingerprinting, and handwriting analysis. It has been said that forensic science technicians are mostly call upon to assist in two places on crime scenes and in crime labs (Dillon .H, 1999). Crime scenes contains that valuable evident that must be careful collected and preserved to help with the reconstruction of crimes by theorizing the events ...
...re merriment to an unremittingly nihilsm vision of humanity”. (Death). This comparison to cannabalism helps us understand capitalism in its cruelest form. Throughout the film, we see that Sweeney Todd has an aversion to London, which the privileged few ruled. In comparison, Sweeney thought that in order to get back at the rich then one must be able to fight back and resist their power.
Fingerprints are very important evidence for detective work, or for solving crimes, because each person’s fingerprints are unique, as well as each finger’s print is unique. This means that you and your parents all have different fingerprints, and each of your fingers has its own, special print. Fingerprints will never change.
Forensic Science, recognized as Forensics, is the solicitation of science to law to understand evidences for crime investigation. Forensic scientists are investigators that collect evidences at the crime scene and analyse it uses technology to reveal scientific evidence in a range of fields. Physical evidence are included things that can be seen, whether with the naked eye or through the use of magnification or other analytical tools. Some of this evidence is categorized as impression evidence2.In this report I’ll determine the areas of forensic science that are relevant to particular investigation and setting out in what method the forensic science procedures I have recognized that would be useful for the particular crime scene.
Juror #3 is very biased against the 19-year-old boy that is being tried, and this affects all of his thoughts and actions regarding the case. He has this bias because his own son hit him in the jaw and ran away from home at the age of 15: “I’ve got a kid…when he was fifteen he hit me in the face…I haven’t seen him in three years. Rotten kid! I hate tough kids! You work your heart out [but it’s no use] (21).”According to this quote from the text, this juror condemns all teenagers and feels resentment towards them. He especially feels strongly about the boy being tried, because the boy grew up in the slums, and this juror is also biased against these people who grew up there. It is because of these feelings that he is strongly cemented in his vote of guilty.
...ve the patience and responsibility that is required when taking care of other people’s children and making sure that they leave in one piece day after day. Elementary school teachers aren’t given nearly as much credit as they deserve because they do have a lot on their plate. Middle school and high school teachers do have a lot more work to grade and in greater detail, but they also teach students that are capable of taking care of themselves whereas students in elementary school are not and need to be guided and taught in a way that will launch them on a good path when leaving elementary school. I want to be the one who creates curriculums, gives them time to play, organizes fun activities, and teaches reading and writing basics to the new generations. Being an elementary school teacher is not just a job, it is a duty, responsibility, and in my eyes, a luxury.
The past few decades, Forensic Science has been the “new” vocation that everyone is intrigued about, whether they have seen it on CSI shows, online, or on television it’s the topic of our society. It is easily portrayed that all crimes are solved and analyzed within twenty-four hours. In reality, forensic science crimes could take anywhere from a week to several months before results are even reached. In the past few decades’ forensic science has evolved tremendously. Technologies, instrumentations, training and protocols are not the same they continue to change. Scientific research, study are also becoming highly revolved around concepts and improvement in daily performance. Forensic can be said to be the new trend, due to being heavily
The transitional growth in the forensic science sector has not been without challenges. Though the world has experienced increased capabilities and scientific knowledge, which has led to faster investigations and results, many forensic experts have argued that forensic laboratory testing, in the light of 21st century technological advancements, is yet to meet the expected rate in quick available testing and analysis (Mennell & Shaw, 2006). This is with respect to the growing rate of crime and the high demand of quick crime scene testing and analysis. In the science of crime scene, analysis and interpretation of evidence is majorly dependent on forensic science, highlighting the change in the role of forensic sciences (Tjin-A-Tsoi, 2013). In the business of forensic science, time is beginning to play important role in the evidence testing and analysis which is becoming crucial in reducing ...
The job of Criminal Investigator has varying working conditions. Some days require long shifts that can fall on weekends, during the day, at night, even on holidays (“Become a Criminal Investigator”). In some cases a Criminal Investigator can be on call twenty four hours a day (“Crime Scene Investigator”). There are also days spent strictly in the lab running numerous tests and experiments. The days spent in the lab require patience because most of the testing and e...
At the beginning of the Twenty-First century we are experiencing an informational revolution. The whole business world is changing as a result of new technology, including new ways of entering data into computer systems. Gone are the days of spending long hours in front of a computer typing word processing documents and emails or punching numbers into a phone. Voice recognitions systems are at the forefront of data-entry technology. Through voice recognition systems and voice interfaces, users can input data into a computer, retrieve data from a computer, and direct the processing of computers simply by speaking a few simple commands. The systems then use speech synthesis, or the computerized deconstruction of words based on common language patterns, to encode and decode the instructions before routing them to the computers. Telephony systems are one type of voice recognition system that incorporate the telephone as some part of the system (voicewizard.com). The dawn of the voice recognition systems era promises to make life easier for users in the future.
Upon entering the field of education, I am faced with many questions. Will the students like me? Will I have a large class? Will I be a good teacher? A few of the questions that definitely need to be answered before I enter the classroom, are what methods should I use to teach? What aspects of which methods will work best for me? What philosophy best exemplifies the way I want to bestow the learning process to my students? In my quest to become an elementary teacher I shall use a variety of aspects from past philosophers of education. As long as each child is learning, I feel that I am fulfilling my goal, and a difference is being made, I am on my way to a successful classroom.
