While considering this question, "How do I want to contribute", it brings me to a couple situations I recently went through and am still dealing with today. I noticed that while dealing with the quandaries that have risen up in my path, I have issues with patience and vexation. I do not have so much of a problem with having an outright temper, but I have found I do become easily exasperated with imbecilic idiocy. Now, I have been told that I do well in keeping my composure and seem to deal with people well. To be veracious what people may see on the outside as composure deep down it eats me up mentally and I feel the exasperation elevating and burn with rage inside that unless the outside person were to be me, they would never see or know authentically
Not just as a frolicsome thing to do, but as a way to interact more with others, assist those who may attend the functions, comix and mingle with those around me, lend a helping hand, study and assist with others who may need help with understanding the homework or the information provided by the professors which may already come easily for me, and much more. By doing this I will learn to have a servitude type posture, learn and understand other 's personalities and realize they are their own, learn and recognize others for their strengths as well as for their disabilities and then learn together how we can transmute the perception of their incapacitation to a positive, understand others wants and needs and possibly assist them in achieving either or, and maybe both, but mainly to learn to understand people on their own mental level and accept them that they are doing the best they can at being who they are at their categorical level whether it is an A, B, C, or D level. If I can learn to master this adeptness, it will lead to fewer vexations, fewer misunderstandings, less dissension, as well as it can help diminish the furthering of stress and
I come from a background that is very disciplined and virtually militant as well as stringent. I was trained to only rely on my partner and teammates on cases we worked on together in investigations. Also, to only rely on facts. I remember one of my past trainers used to state, "Never assume anything because the word assumes just means ‘ASS-U-ME ', designating it would make an A** OUT OF YOU AND ME," by making assumptions. So, I learned to only see black and white with no gray area. Some cases could be so deep a person authentically didn 't authentically share information at all with outsiders or what one would call civilians. There were even those times we almost were not sure if you could even trust one another. Some cases were so hazardous that my life was nearly taken from me more than once or twice, and this caused me to be closed off and maybe at times even a little cold. Not always sure but very observant of my surroundings and watchful for the faults in people. This has been drilled, trained, and bred into me for more than fifteen years. All of this while keeping a composed front and appearance. Once getting into Forensic Science, things authentically took another turn for me regarding how I perceived the world through a lens of a camera, the studying of murdered victims, blood spatter, and trace evidence. This is actually my first semester being in the middle of crowds of civilians
Disability is a ‘complex issue’ (Alperstein, M., Atkins, S., Bately, K., Coetzee, D., Duncan, M., Ferguson, G., Geiger, M. Hewett, G., et al.., 2009: 239) which affects a large percentage of the world’s population. Due to it being complex, one can say that disability depends on one’s perspective (Alperstein et al., 2009: 239). In this essay, I will draw on Dylan Alcott’s disability and use his story to further explain the four models of disability being The Traditional Model, The Medical Model, The Social Model and The Integrated Model of Disability. Through this, I will reflect on my thoughts and feelings in response to Dylan’s story as well as to draw on this task and my new found knowledge of disability in aiding me to become
Previous experience of working in the care industry, with adults with a wide range of needs and disabilities, has given me the experience of working with a diverse range of people. I am currently an administrator for a charity whose service users are adults with learning disabilities. Being caring and compassionate has helped build up a strong relationship with the service users, which in turn has helped me gain their trust. This has helped me to be able to develop a better relationship
What comes into one’s mind when they are asked to consider physical disabilities? Pity and embarrassment, or hope and encouragement? Perhaps a mix between the two contrasting emotions? The average, able-bodied person must have a different perspective than a handicapped person, on the quality of life of a physically disabled person. Nancy Mairs, Andre Dubus, and Harriet McBryde Johnson are three authors who shared their experiences as physically handicapped adults. Although the three authors wrote different pieces, all three essays demonstrate the frustrations, struggles, contemplations, and triumphs from a disabled person’s point of view and are aimed at a reader with no physical disability.
By know the other people disabilities you will interact better and will help the disable student better transition to blend in the community. Not be afraid of the unknown. As much knowledge you have on the different types of disabilities, the better person you become and more effective
The optimal mindset of an investigator is to look for possible motives while remain open to all possibilities while focusing on the easiest evidence that can be gathered from the scene (Osterburg 2010). An investigator also has to be willing to keep an open mind and be able to change and adapt to the different evidence that might present itself. An investigator cannot be dead set on something or a certain way they conduct work, they must also be unwilling to change their approach. It is important to avoid tunnel vision while investigating a crime scene. I think that an optimal mindset is where the investigator can make the best of their job and help them process all the evidence possible, it might help them come to a conclusion of what happened. I also feel that the state of mind that is required to be a successful investigator can be taught through training and experience.

I was always the person to shy away from a disabled person because I didn’t know how to handle it. I always thought if I avoided them I wouldn’t have to face the truth, which is I was very uncomfortable with disabled people. However, since our discussions in class, reading the book, and going to the event my views on the disabled have changed drastically since then. I learned that people with disabilities can do the same things, if not more, that a person without disabilities can do. I realized that I need to treat people with disabilities just like any other person, like an equal. People shouldn’t be ostracized for something that they cannot control. Everyone should treat disabled individuals with respect, dignity, and concern. This is why from now on I will not shy away from a disabled person I will welcome them with open arms because they are no different than
I realize that I didn't get the real in-depth experience that was envisioned for this assignment but I did find what I saw really interesting. I know that just four short years ago they didn't have the buddy program at that school. And they still have nothing at my old Catholic high school. After learning more about the benefits of inclusion during the semester, it was encouraging to see that those benefits were being experienced by students from my hometown, if not my alma-mater. I wonder how my knowledge and perceptions of the handicapped would be different if there had been programs like that when I was in high school. At least I can rest assure that future students at SHS will not go through school as ignorant about handicapped students as I did.
The acquisition of an education can be classified as a rarity in some countries as certain groups of people are forbidden from attaining one. However, the act of completing a regulated school curriculum along with the completion of high school can be personally beneficial and gratifying. As founding figure, Brigham Young once stated, “Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world 's work, and the power to appreciate life.” Regarding a personal curriculum, various obligations from community service and Individual Learning Plans to passing specific courses and common core skills had to be met and or completed. The accomplished goals and standards that were set for me as a student provide a concrete background in
Chapter 10 is entitled Conflict Management in Groups. This is a very essential chapter for all members of a group to read and understand. Fortunately, my group members and I have not had a problem with getting along. It just so happened that four members of my group already know each other from another class they are in together. So, they already got along and had some connection with one another. I think we all have good personalities and we enjoy working with each other. The characteristics of our group allow us to be a successful group. The semester is coming to an end, and we have worked hard together to perform all tasks and accomplish all our goals. Getting to the stage where we are now involved a lot of comprimising and negotiating. So, the two terms I would like to concentrate on from Chapter 10 is comprimise and negotiation. To me, comprimise is meeting someone half way. You may have to adjust some of your beliefs or ideas to fit the beliefs or ideas of another group member. the book defines comprimise as a middle ground. You show a moderate concern for both task and social relationships in groups. The next term I would like to look at is negotiation. I would define negotiation as giving and taking to reach a common goal. The book’s definition of negotiation is a process by which a joint decision is made by two or more parties. After researching information for my group project and listening to another group’s presentation, it is evident that everyone thinks comprimise and negotiation are very important. There was a strong emphasis on avoiding conflict in the group
As a current college student and future educator, remaining open-minded is a goal I strive towards. There are many times where I am close-minded and can not understand the "diversity" within an area. Rider campus is my biggest example because when I first stepped onto it, I felt alone and isolated. Due to class discussion and experience, I realized diversity could apply to everything that makes a person unique. With this knowledge I looked at my fellow students and friends in a new light, with not one person being exactly like the other even if they share the same ethnicity, religion, or gender. After learning this, I forced myself to push my negative feelings towards religion away and attend St. Francis Catholic church. This church is in my hometown of Hoboken, NJ and I visited an early Sunday mass on the 7th of February. I used to attend the
The first commandment, be nonjudgmental, may seem obvious by is very hard to execute. When exposed to a situation out of the ordinary of your life, it is often natural as human beings to think about the strangeness or oddness of the person you are helping. With that said one needs to examine one own attitudes about the problem at hand and make himself or herself aware of personal biases that may affect your ability to be objective. The
My RIP companion essay was a complete mess with no structure in the first draft. I believe it was because I had procrastinated to complete both the first drafts for the RIP project and essay. I finished my RIP project then moved on to my companion essay, and the transition was vastly different because in the RIP project I was writing for a different audience than in the companion essay, which was an academic audience. In addition, I forgot that we had been given a prompt with specific instructions and guidelines for the companion essay, which gave the structure for the essay. My professor, Delany-Ullman also points out that “For most essays, you should NOT include your textual evidence in your topic sentence. Your topic sentence should make
Over the course of the semester, I feel that I have grown as a writer in many ways. When I came into the class, there were skills I had that I already excelled at. During my time in class, I have come to improve on those skills even more. Before I took this class I didn’t even realise what I was good at. This is the first class where I felt I received feedback on my writing that helped me to actually review my work in see what areas I lacked in and where I succeeded. Some of the skills I had shocked me as I didn’t think I had those capabilities in me.
Much like Benjamin Franklin believed, I feel that a person should take advantage of the time the person has in life with activities a person wants to do or needs to do. A person should not spend much time on activities the person does not want to do. Life is way too short to concern oneself with work or other activities one wants nothing to do with all the time. When possible, I try to forget about my responsibility and just let go of the ‘things’ that do not matter to me. I think a person should try to occupy oneself with something productive, worthwhile, or necessary at all times. Even though a person’s life is left up to a person to live, I cannot imagine thinking that I owe my time to society through working a job that I simply despise. I am a compassionate person, but I do not owe anyone anything regarding my time.
