Case AnalysisAngela RosadoProfessional & Ethical Issues in Forensic PsychOctober 15, 2014Mary McGreevyCase Analysis “In Vignette 3, an inmate is incarcerated due to a history of violent behavior(s). While in prison the inmate was known as being a “model prisoner”. Now that the inmate is scheduled for a parole hearing, the warden believes the inmate possesses the propensity to commit a violent crime if released, and “requests that a psychologists/psychiatrist evaluate the inmate using psychological tests”. The warden has requested that the evaluator commit a known Ethical and Statutory violations, so that he may keep the inmate in prison and that the inmate’s parole request be denied”…
I approach everything step by step....I had always set short-term goals. As I look back, each one of the steps or successes led to the next one. When I got cut from the varsity team as a sophomore in high school, I learned something. I knew I never wanted to feel that bad again....So I set a goal of becoming a starter on the varsity. That’s what I focused on all summer. When I worked on my game, that’s what I thought about. When it happened, I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough....I guess I approached it with the end in mind. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I focused on getting there. As I reached those goals, they built on one another. I gained a little confidence every time I came through.…
[A] Countless psychological studies show the truth: hope, dreams, and goals are the psychological vehicles driving success. [B] In Of Mice and Men, the dream is to leave the life of work and travel behind and live on a ranch, in War Dance, the goal is to do well at the national music competition, and in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter Mitty hopes for a more interesting life in a series of daydreams, to ultimately find that he has been living the true daydream. [C] Hope, dreams, and goals allowed the people portrayed, fictional or not, to strive for more. [D] Hopes, dreams, and goals allow people to increase their motivation, perform better, and seek new concepts.…
If I was given the opportunity to speak in front of a crowd I would talk about the importance of setting goals in your life. I believe success comes from meeting the goals you have strived to obtain. When I was younger and just starting to grasp the concept of doing things on my own, the word success was very forbidding to me. I wanted to be successful and to make people around me proud, but I wasn’t sure how to go about achieving such things. I never just sat down and thought about what exactly I needed to do to make me successful, I just knew I wanted success out of life. If I had the chance to talk to a younger generation, or maybe even older people who are still struggling, I would tell them to take some time, sit down, and seriously think about what specific things they needed to do that would make them successful in life. The things they would write would ultimately become the small goals that would help them achieve their \\\\\\\larger goal. When you have goals set in your life, the only thing left to do is go get them done! Yes, I know this is the hard part, but when you actually have goals defined in your life, you wake up every morning knowing exactly what you’re working towards. You strive for specific opportunities or instances that someday make you successful. You go after your…
In life, to successfully move forward I need to establish goals. “The tragedy in life is not reaching your goal, but having no goal to reach” (Leadership for Student Activities, 2005). I must have a plan of how I will achieve my goals and be able to identify when an important element of that goal is reached. Possible setbacks must be considered and purposeful schemes arranged for when the unexpected shows up. According to Deci and Ryan (1984), “Goals, whether trivial, routine, significant or life altering, are part of peoples everyday lives”.…
Success is one of the most important things in life. Many people need to remember that you can't succeed until you try. without trying you never have a chance to succeed. You should never give up on your goal. I believe that you were made to achieve that goal you just have to keep trying.…
“What Drives Success?” is an article written by Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld that uses facts to determine the simple question of what drives success. As the two authors dig into this subject they determine that other ethnic and religious groups are doing better than white Americans. Indian-Americans make almost double of what white-Americans are making (1). People of the Jewish religion only make up two percent of America’s population, yet they make up a third of the current Supreme Court (1). There are also many black and Hispanic groups that outperform some white groups that are climbing America’s higher education ladder (2). All statements provided are factual and are backed up with statistics. Chua and Rubenfeld are very detailed on…

How can we help students to move from a failure to a success mindset? We must help them to change their limiting beliefs so that they are willing to allow themselves to succeed. For this to occur there needs to be more pain associated with failure than with success and more pleasure linked with success than with failure.…
If you think positive that you will succeed you will end up having to reach your goal. In the Infographic: ‘Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset’ under the Frustrated section, it states, “My abilities affect everything.” This would cause you to be nervous and then give up. On the other hand, if you think that your effort and attitude affect everything you will want to put in more effort and you would want to learn more in order to reach the goal of your task. This would show that if you have a fixed mindset and say that something is impossible you will never achieve it. If you believe that you can achieve your goal then most chances are that you…
2 Learn to take pleasure in the process of reaching your goals, not only the end goal. Set milestones and allow yourself to take credit for reaching them.…
Success to me is setting personal goals, and following through with them. Whether you achieve your desired result or not, you have succeeded just by trying. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who's face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew…
Successful people believe that there is a purpose behind every event or situation. Whether it’s a lesson to be learned or a change in your life’s direction, they believe that whatever happens was meant to happen. Thus, they make lemonade out of a lemon. Instead of beating yourself down if something does not go your way, focus on the good that can come out of it. Yes, certain events are difficult to see a positive outcome, but you owe it to yourself and to your success to try your best to make the most out of any situation. There are many people that lost a loved one to a disease, only to become advocates for research to cure such a disease, as well as many victims of accidents that have not let their shortcomings in the aftermath get in the way of whatever they wanted to accomplish. Sometimes life does not go as planned, but knowing that everything happens for a reason can help you carve a new path towards a new life with new goals.…
