Assignment 4: “Changing Our Lives” Thesis Statement Adaliza Rodriguez ENG 090- Writing Fundamentals Charlotte Walker August 13, 2016 Think about this: a young innocent girl from a small neighborhood in Puerto Rico sitting at the dining table trying to work on her math homework. Her younger siblings are playing in the living room, as her mother is busy preparing dinner. Her father, because of irreconcilable differences, separated from the family and she is wondering if she will indeed manage to make it thru high school with all these emotional and psychological interference. That young girl is me. I did not make it pass high school. Thankfully, I managed to pass my GED when I moved to NJ with my aunt, and continue to pursue in further education. Acquiring a college degree is undoubtedly a significant step in an individual’s life that it now one of the core components of the American dream. Earn a degree, get a job, start a family and buy a house. Ordinarily, it is challenging but it begins with a college degree. Many first generation university and college students experience wide range of feelings, such as being the first child in their family to attain a college degree. I also want to experience the same feelings. I was overwhelmed with pride for being the first in my family to attend college, It’s a dream come true. Normally, those in possession of a college degree enjoy numerous opportunities. Thus, it is a significant accomplishment that I will one day also receive. Many students, particularly the first generation university or college students, encounter enormous challenges in finding the courage to face the college life. This is because of the changing lifestyle as well as the fear of adjusting to a new and different schedule. For me, college presented an opportunity to continue progressing in my career, and that motivated me. It is true that new students are normally worried about learning and understanding new technology and how it works. For this reason, I spent much of my time on the computer and learning how beneficial it is to take courses online when it is convenient for myself and family. Thus, I was able to pick up on the blackboard and follow along with the instructions, that proved to be helpful. College life provides students with an opportunity to build up their self confidence. Many use the opportunity to show pride in their academic success and build up their self esteem. College and university students are exposed to people from various backgrounds as well as expectations. An individual encounters some experiences that may make him or her feel socially, emotionally as well as physically uncomfortable. I used the new exposure to expand myself awareness and in understanding the world beyond student life. Before getting into work environment, it is better to earn a college or university degree to enhance financial, social and career g.

Assignment 3: Gender Identity We are socialized at every stage in life to conform to our gender identity. Societal reinforcement of tendencies of gender identity is relentless. For example, in hospitals, little girls are wrapped in pink and little boys in blue. This difference in colors influences how we learn and how we internalize our role in our society. Girls tend to grow up to play feminine roles and boys tend to grow up to play masculine roles. This differentiation of gender identity has implications in social stratification. The videos given below will provide you with a better understanding of the differentiation of sexual identity from an earlier generation. Search for and watch an episode of at least one of the following shows. You may find these videos using a variety of search methods including visiting your local library, using Netflix or your local video store, or searching on YouTube. If you have difficulty locating an episode of one of the following shows, contact your instructor for assistance in finding an alternative. I Love Lucy All in the Family The Mickey Mouse Club The Honeymooners Leave it to Beaver Father Knows Best Gilligan’s Island The Brady Bunch I Dream of Jeannie As you watch the video, ask yourself the following questions: To what extent have things changed and to what extent have they remained the same in regards to gender roles, expectations, division, and identity from the time this show was originally popular and today? How conscious and sensitive are the characters regarding gender prejudice, power inequality, and subordination? Did they take inequality of the sexes for granted? Based on your readings and understanding that you have gathered after watching the above-noted video, write a short biographical description of your life if you were to wake up tomorrow morning in the time period of the video you watched and find you have a different gender identity. Write a description of how you lived your life a day after your hypothetical change in gender as you answer the following questions: Discuss how you would react on finding out that your sex is opposite. Would you feel a sense of relief, indifference, or elation? Why? Discuss three ways your attitude towards the opposite sex was enlightened or would change as a result of what you learned from this project. If you would not change your attitude, why? Write down the ideas and attitudes you have taken for granted a member of your actual gender. Consider how your roles at home and in the office would change if you were a member of the opposite gender. Relate the ideas of sexism and racism to the videos. How do you think sexism and racism have changed since the 1950s? Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc.

Assignment 3: Critical Thinking in Action Assignments Critical Thinking in Action Background What is Critical Thinking? The head of your organization pulled you aside and asked you to review a workplace dispute. She said, “Apply your best critical thinking to figure out what happened and what decision can best remedy this situation.” She wants your analysis in two weeks. To begin, let’s consider what it means to engage in critical thinking. While the application of critical thinking may vary across disciplines, the steps are universal. Adapted from the writings of Bassham, Irwin, Nardone, and Wallace (2011); Lau (2011); and Lau and Chan (2015), critical thinking involves thinking clearly and systematically, and encompasses Formulating ideas succinctly and precisely Identifying the relevance and importance of ideas Understanding the logical connections between ideas Identifying, constructing and evaluating arguments, claims, and evidence Recognizing explicit and implicit assumptions, arguments, and biases Detecting inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning Formulating clear defensible ideas and conclusions Evaluating the pros and cons of decisions Reflecting on one’s own beliefs and values Applying ethical decision making The steps involved in critical thinking can be employed universally, in the analysis of all thoughts and actions —whether you are analyzing documents, ideas, assertions, or the quality of decisions/solutions. Most importantly, critical thinking is purposeful. It is not restricted solely to information gathering, nor is it about being “negative and fault-finding” (Bassham et. al., 2011 p. 1). As Lau and Chan write, “A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what he knows, and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems, and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself” (2015, para 1). While the process of critical thinking may involve exposing untruths and poor reasoning, it also involves engaging in cooperative reasoning for the purposes of shared goals and decision making. We engage in the steps of critical thinking to learn deeply, to improve our ideas, to strengthen arguments and to “enhance work processes and improve social institutions” (Lau and Chan, 2015 para 2). Critical thinking aligns with and informs ethical reasoning and decision-making. Internet marketing expert Nick Melillo (2010) writes Critical thinking plays a large role in ethics because it is the process by which we determine for ourselves whether or not something is right or wrong. In a sense, critical thinking is a form of analysis and determination of fact vs. fiction, identifying the unknown, coming to an understanding, etc… By taking the path of a critical thinker, a person develops a mental process of evaluation which helps to determine their ethical standards. (p. 1) The process of critical thinking helps us weigh and verify information, assess intent, and consider consequences, thereby e.

Assignment 3: Concerns for Corrections Staff and Inmates Due Week 7 and worth 150 points Use your state's Department of Corrections Website, as well as the Strayer Library, to research the roles of correctional staff within the correctional organization. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: Distinguish between administrative staff, program staff, and custodial staff; and discuss the importance of each. Rank the four (4) types of power available to correctional staff in order of importance (one [1] being the most important, four [4] being the least important). Provide a rationale for your ranking. Prioritize the following corrections staff concerns, with one (1) being the most important and four (4), the least important: funding, radical inmates, multi-generations, and mental health issues in order of importance. Speculate on the major impact, whether negative or positive, that each concern will have on corrections staff overall. Justify your response. It is widely known that corrections personnel often experience “compassion fatigue” or the reduced capacity to be empathetic of an offender’s circumstance.

Assignment 3: Cultural Activity Report As a way of experiencing the Humanities beyond your classroom, computer, and textbook, you are asked to do a certain type of “cultural activity” that fits well with our course and then report on your experience. Your instructor will require you to propose an activity and get instructor approval before you do it and report on it (students should look for any instructions in that respect). Every effort should be made to ensure that this is a hands-on experience (not a virtual one), that this activity fits the HUM 111 class well, and that the activity is of sufficient quality for this university course. The two (2) key types of activities are a museum visit or a performance. Note: This must not be a report on the same activity (and certainly not the same report) as done for another class, like HUM 112. For instance, one might go to the same museum as done for HUM 112, but this HUM 111 report will focus on entirely different works and displays. Visit a museum or gallery exhibition or attend a theater or musical performance before the end of Week 10. The activity (museum or performance) should have content that fits our course well. Have fun doing this. Write a two to three (2-3) page report (500-750 words) that describes your experience. Clearly identify the event location, date attended, the attendees, and your initial reaction upon arriving at the event. Provide specific information and a description of at least two (2) pieces (e.g., art, exhibits, music, etc.). Provide a summary of the event and describe your overall reaction after attending the event. Use at least the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine, not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text. Note: Submit your cultural activity choice to the instructor for approval before the end of Week 5 (earlier is even better). Look for guidance from the instructor for how or where to make your proposal. You may also seek advice from your instructor (provide your town/state or zip code) for a good activity in your general area. Visiting a Museum It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what there is available to see. In the museum, find out what sort of exhibitions are currently housed in the museum and start with the exhibits that interest you. If there is a travelling exhibition, it’s always a good idea to see it while you have the chance. Then, if you have time, you can look at other things in the museum. Every effort should be made ahead of time to identify a museum that has items and works one can easily connect to our HUM 111 class and book. Since HUM 111 covers from ancient times to the 1500s AD, it makes more sense to focus on items from that time frame. In general, museums with artistic cultural artifacts and fine arts.
