This is the most challenging course I’ve taken so far. I think it’s a combination of just the subject in general (something I’ve never really explored before) and the materials we’re using to learn from. Some of them are fairly extensive and yet I don’t come away feeling like I really learned anything from them.…
In the summer of 2016, I decided to enter the Luzerne County Fair guide cover contest, but there was a problem, I had missed the deadline and would have to wait till next year. When the fair came around in September, the winning cover was better than what I could do. I was upset because I thought maybe I would never be good enough to win anything, especially not something…
Discuss Bauman’s argument about the seduced and repressed and how this is a part of the supermarket power. Seduced, being able to take part in consumer society and repressed is seen as not able to. Supermarket power allows the repressed to take part.…
In the film The Scarlet and the Black, we see a different kind of priest portrayed. Fr. Hugh O’Flaherty is not your everyday pastor. After seeing what type of life he has lived, the priesthood may look appealing to many. He is constantly helping people and getting in and out of trouble. The situations he finds himself in may not necessarily be because he is a priest, but rather because of the type of person he is. Fr. O’Flaherty’s drive and desire to help people makes him a saint to many people. Many priests probably would not have gone to the extent that Fr. O’Flaherty went to in helping the soldiers. He was close to death many times, but continued to fight for freedom. Some parts of this film, to me, seemed over done in the idea that Fr. O’Flaherty was some type of superhero. There is no doubt in my mind that he was an awesome person and helped many people, but do I believe that he fought evil ninja priests? Not necessarily.…

My conclusion, as I took this class my understanding of Christians has being a good outlook for me, in the way that God wants us to live. As I have outline about Jesus did not claim to be God, but he did state that I am the Fathers and Son. And if a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life, yes it does because they are suppose to be God leader in order to help others come to God. The local church can communicate God’s love to the community by going out and taking time to help the community understand the meaning of God.…
This course has helped me professionally develop skills that I have had hidden. I, at times am afraid to take the next step because of what I am afraid may be the outcome, but seeing these assignments week by week and being able to achieve these challenges has really made me a more confident person and has given me the push I need to be able to begin working on opening my own business which is to open a Laundromat. I look so…
Critical Self-reflection should be an integral part of any practice, not only Social Work. As it is important for one to reflection on one’s own self. The Client Peter Niko in the simulation, had visit our agency after a police officer suggested it would be within his best interest. My preconceived notions of the client and the reality was so different, that I had to reflect on my own bias and assumptions. Lishman (2002) Stated “We need to develop our self-awareness and capacity for critical reflection . . . to ensure that our motivation and ‘experience’ are used to enhance our practice” (P. 4). After the simulation reflecting on power, privilege, oppression, and intersectionality…
Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module. I have made continues effort in building my confidence in situations that I have felt uncomfortable in.…

My hub placement for "Ongoing Healthcare Needs" was with an elderly female rehabilitation ward. For this reflective piece I am going to write about a situation I encountered on that ward. I will be following "John's model of structured reflection" as a basis to structure this document.…
Another blow to character education was the postmodern thinking. Postmodern theory is based on the idea that reality is not reflected in human understanding. Reality is constructed as the person tries to interpret their own reality, (Aylesworth, 2012). According to Wilhelm and Firmin, the “backlash of postmodernism asserts that Christian virtue and absolute truth cannot be held as exclusive morality,” (Welhelm & Welhelm, 2008, p.190). Teachers became concerned with forcing any absolutes or morality. In the absence of absolutes or morality…
Many people engage in community service project because they are either forced as a punishment or sentence. Others engage in community service out of Spirit of unselfishness, or a desire to connect with their communities by helping out. For me, it brings a sense of completeness. During the past few semester my team members and I have engage in different projects, Collecting food, clothes and donating to the homeless. In a way I’ve experience working the different organizations and helping the community. But with this particular project, it meant much more then collecting for the disadvantaged, It was about lending a hand and your heart to a community in need.. During my involvement in this fieldwork project I got the opportunity to offer my unconditional assistance for one day in a non-profit making community based project. The name of the project was Liberty City Construction, which is being undertaken by a Christian ministry organization whose aim is to improve the livelihood of low-income families through building affordable and decent houses at a 0% interest rate. The organization founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda fuller has built and rehabilitated more then 100,000 families in need, becoming the world leader in addressing the issues if poverty housing. They work in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all social, economic, and ethic group to expand communities with people in need by building an renovating houses so that everyone can experience God’s love and can live and grow in to all the God intends. For that particular day, three of my group members and I…
The assignments we are challenging in their own different way. For the rhetorical analysis, finding a technical document for actuarial science was extremely challenging. Outside of finding it, writing was straightforward. For the resume assignment, adjusting it for specific jobs will definitely help next year when looking for jobs and adjusting my resume for specific companies. The teamwork projects including the instruction set and recommendation report helped me learn how to communicate with team members much more effectively and setting up meetings better. I really enjoyed working with my team members and learning how to work on a paper collaboratively and make sure everyone is on the same page writing in the same style producing the same message. It was also a challenge to figure out how to present our reports as we all had different ideas. Trying to decide which would be the best was a big challenge, but voting seemed to be the best way to go about it.…
As a photographer trying to create light paintings, I found that the more challenging aspects of the piece were to create the light painting itself. To get the image that I wanted the space, focus of camera, amount of light, as well as shape/form had to be fairly precise to get a clear image. The initial images did not work properly or did not come out clear, what-so-ever; the image drawn appeared backwards and very close together making them un-readable. After making adjustments to the spacing of the individual letters written, the image appeared clearer. To fix the issue of the words being backwards, instead of facing the camera while writing the words I faced the opposite direction and wrote left to right while using the appropriate spacing between letters. Another issue I experienced was the automatic focus did not always catch an image or take the picture at all. To fix this problem I changed the camera to a manual focus and adjusted it to find the perfect picture, allowing the sharpness and shape of light formed to be captured clearly. When the camera did not capture the full image that I was trying to create, I adjusted the shutter speed so that it would remain open longer to capture the image I was trying to create, so I did not have to rush making the strokes of writing sloppy and unclear, I also had enough to move out of the picture so it appeared to be just the word. The shutter speed is essential in creating a clear and crisp image.…
