Nt1310 Unit 6 Exercise 1
Premise: A team of three contestants answer a series seven questions by attempting to diffuse seven bombs before they explode. On each question,
one contestant will have a certain amount of time to clip the wires that lead to the correct answers on each bomb. Each teammate must answer at
least one question in the game. Successfully diffusing a bomb adds the money at stake for the question to the team bank. If a contestant clips a wire
which leads to an incorrect answer or if time expires, the bomb explodes, sliming the contestant with a mystery substance (maple syrup, pesto, tomato
sauce, etc.), and eliminates them from the game without adding any money to the team bank. Here's how the game is structured for each bomb: #1:
$5,000; 30 seconds to get 3 right answers (4 possible answers) #2: $10,000; 30 seconds to get 3 right answers (4 possible answers) #3: $15,000;... Show

The gameplay is well constructed with the rising levels of difficulty, big risk/big reward end game, the absence of frivolous elements including
"lifelines" and challenging trivia questions. BOOM! successfully challenges each team's speed, strategy, and the ability to think and move quickly
under pressure. The physical aspect of the show with the contestants manually clipping the wires under the pressures of time and cash at stake gives
you exhilarating feeling as if they are diffusing an actual bomb in a spy movie. From the hundredth–second countdown clock to the five–second pauses
between contestants clipping wires to abruptly cutting to commercial breaks during tense moments, the producers of the FOX version did an
wonderful job creating the suspenseful atmosphere on BOOM!. The impromptu commercial breaks would normally annoy me, but it's far from a
deal–breaker on this show considering no gimmicky teasers are added to allow viewers to enjoy each episode without being annoyed by

Info Snap Persuasive Speech
Hello Dr. Gerhard, Recently you challenged Lisa and me with the task of increasing the number of families that have completed the Info–snap process.
Although there is definitely a friendly but high level of competitiveness between us, we have developed a habit of addressing building needs
together in a more team oriented approach. Although we each think we would have won the challenge, we recognize that we are a power house when
we work together and although it was very tempting to compete we knew that we would come up with the best solutions if we shared our ideas. That
being said, below you will note the ideas that we have come up with. We categorized them into ideas that we can implement immediately and ideas that
we may want to consider for next year's Info–snap roll out. Let us know if you have any suggestions to add and/or comments that would improve th
entire process. We also cc'd Melissa Fullerton in the hopes that she... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
(I think this may already be in place.) –We can create grade level competitions and have positive reinforces for the grade level that completes the
process or has the most people signed up by a certain due date. –The buildings Principal can make a school wide connect–ed call in early August as a
reminder to complete Info–snap. He could reinforce some of the incentives, present how it is going to be used, and the importance of the District having
that information on file (i.e. emergencies, allows parents the access to check grades, it's how we communicate with them about attendance, etc.) –Do
whatever we can to send the information out sooner. As a resident of the District I did not receive my Info snap information until around August 12th.
That was less than 5 business days from when you asked us to work on increasing the completion rate. Many families may have still been on vacation,

Rules And Order In William Golding's Lord Of The Flies
Rules and order support a society by preventing it from becoming corrupted. Having organization and structure is very important in order to maintain
a successful and civilized community. During the Cold War, a school for boys are sent out on a plane to avoid the atomic bombs. While being
transported to safety, the plane crashes and the boys become trapped on a mysterious island. After the crash, the boys gather everyone together and
elect a chief to lead the group. The two candidates running for chief are Ralph, a rational and kind hearted boy, and Jack, a determined, arrogant, and
aggressive figure. One of the other boys known as Piggy helps Ralph to give him logical advice to help the group of boys get rescued. It is their job to
form a society ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
After the plane crashes, Ralph and Piggy stumble upon a conch shell and use it to call an assembly to gather all the boys up. When blown
through, the conch creates a roaring blare that allows everyone to hear it. This conch becomes the most important motif since it keeps the boys
organized. This conch is also used to create order among the boys to signify who has the right to talk, that way everyone has a chance to be heard
without being interrupted. This is apparent when Ralph says, "'And another thing. We can't have everybody talking at once. We'll have to have
'Hands up' like at school'... 'And he won't be interrupted. Except by me.' Jack was on his feet. 'We'll have rules!' he cried excitedly. 'Lots of rules!'"
(Golding 33). This rule associated with the conch helps the boys to maintain a civilized structure by demanding the boys to give respect. Every
time the conch is blown, the boys gather and anytime anyone wants to speak during these assemblies, they hold the shell. By instilling these 2
guidelines, all the boys have the opportunity to accept power and respect. To keep control in the group, the boys decide to run their society similar
to an autocracy. All the boys agree electing a chief to lead the group will be the most effective way to stay organized and civilized until they are
rescued. This is evident when Jack says, "' We've got to decide about being rescued'... 'seems we ought to have a chief to decide things'"(22). By
appointing a leader to guide the boys it will keep the chaos contained and encourage the boys to remain cordial towards each other and avoid barbaric
behavior. Ralph and Jack both want the title of chief, however, when all the boys vote, Ralph is the clear cut winner. Electing a leader and using the
conch to summon the group together are very important if the boys want to protect their civilized life

Dr. Bruce Tuckman's Model Of Group Work
Our group was brought together for a purpose of making a presentation. We were strangers to each other but expected commitment in terms of
attendance, communication, meetings and quality of work. It can be argued that individuals can be demotivated by group project if they feel their
success depends on others who do not share this views and which might lead to discrimination and oppression (CMU, 2015). However this might be
resolved by a professional organisation of working process, high motivation and personal responsibility of each group member indicating a successful
group development. This project was a valuable experience for developing our teamwork skills and in this essay, I will discuss our group process and
theories which can apply ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
By projecting the JOHARI window (West, R. and Turner, L., 2009) on our group at the first stage when we met it can be said that the Arena
window representing facts about the members, their feelings, desires, and emotions was very small. We had personal awareness towards each
other and probably unconsciously we behaved in a discriminatory way towards assessing each other as we did not know professional qualities and
how far we can trust each other in completing a reliable presentation. As suggested by some research that group members can project their
experience of oppression and feeling of mistrust from their previous life experience (Lindsay and Orton, 2009). This probably was the case with our
group at the beginning of our project as we all wanted to achieve good outcomes but had some mistrust in group work as a result of stereotyping the
low level of the communal responsibility. With time the Arena windows (West, R. and Turner, L., 2009) of our group members expanded as we
explored each other's ability to concentrate on the task, meet a deadline and by giving each other feedback which was appreciated and increased our
trust in each other. The group members admitted that the turning point was a self–disclosing process as described by Whitaker's group focal conflict
theory. There were only four group members out of five present at this time and through

Soccer Team Reflection Paper
In the beginning of class, we watched a film that reminded me of high school varsity soccer because some of my coaches were both theory Y and
theory X. My coaches would act in a very direct and negative form which made us not want to continue being in the team but in the end, the
coaches taught us many leadership skills and also discipline which was key in a sports team. I personally felt like I was both theories because I
was the team captain so the ways I was communicate with my players made me feel like I am a very mean person but I wanted my team mates to
know the expectations in order to be in a very competitive soccer team. I felt like I had to be both theories in order to get my message across in the
best form as possible. I had to be harsh in order to show that my coaches and I were not just playing around, we were dedicating our time into make
the best soccer team in the USD 500 district. Towards the end of the soccer season I was seeing positive results from each and every one of the players.
It made me very happy that I got my message across even though I wasn't naturally a theory X but I had to put myself in the players position. I felt like
if I was only a theory Y, half of the team wouldn't take me serious. The coaches in the film were a great example of how both theories could have a
good result when it comes to forming a team. Having diversity among the team makes a leader think about every angle of how to approach the whole
team because having diversity means that individuals have different backgrounds. It can be difficult to address the whole team on what's expected and
the standards that they should be aiming for in order to continue being in the soccer team. As a leader of the soccer team, it was very challenging at
some situations because all my teammates were depending on me in order to have positive results.
The team builder activity that we did in class was very interesting to do because every person in the group had restrictions and limitations on what they
could contribute in the group which made me a bit challenging especially because time was against our favor. This activity made me realize that every
person can make a difference based on what capabilities they have and this

The Importance Of Multiplicative Thinking
Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are important aspects of mathematics required for a deep conceptual understanding. The following
portfolio will discuss the key ideas of each and the strategies to enable positive teaching. It will highlight certain difficulties and misconceptions that
children face and discuss resources and activities to help alleviate these. It will also acknowledge the connections between the areas of mathematics and
discuss the need for succinct teaching instead of an isolated approach. Multiplicative Thinking Multiplicative thinking is imperative to a child's
understanding of important mathematical concepts and is seen as the 'big idea' in number that links multiple key ideas and strategies (Vergnaud, as
cited in Siemon, 2011). Commonly, children have a procedural based view of multiplicative thinking which can hinder progress, as opposed to a more
conceptual view which is a far better learning framework (Hurst & Hurrell, 2016). If teachers are to maximise a child's learning, they must acknowledge
this and help children maintain a conceptual understanding of multiplicative thinking and emphasise this much more so than procedural rules. Several
key ideas and strategies underpin the success of multiplicative thinking and a greater conceptual understanding. Hurst and Hurrell (2014) explain that
children need to be acutely aware of the ten times multiplicative relationship between places and how this effects many aspects of mathematics.

Group Observation
Our topic of this presentation is introducing a non–profit organization and we choose to run an organization which is helping the underprivileged
children. Our organization is called Shield for Children. We worked as a team and finished this presentation together. We had a lot of troubles at the
beginning. For example, we have different opinions on the meeting time since we both had our own busy schedule. As a result, we couldn't group
together and discussed about the presentation. However, we opened a What's app Group and we could communicate with each other easier inside that
application. So we could able to finish the presentation at the end. Other than that, some people in our group are not willing to work at first since they

Some people are the informative giver, they provide extra information during the group discussions. They helped our group discussion become
more informative. Some people are the Administrator, always lists out a content which makes sure our discussion is on track. Sometimes we
might play more than one role at the same time. For example, Maggie is an administrator and information giver. She kept our discussion on track
and provided different information which help us to prepare the presentation. John is an elaborator and sensor, he elaborated our point and present
it on the PowerPoint. When we worked so hard and our productivity were too low, he will ask for a break. So that we can take a rest and have a
great performance after that. Enson is an initiator, he always gives some new ideas that helped us to solve different kinds of problems such as he
suggests us to provide learning chances and materials instead of playing to the underprivileged children. Alex is a gatekeeper, he makes sure
everyone in the group have the chance to speak and present their idea about the underprivileged children. For me, I think I am an initiator. It is
because I suggest some ways to advertise our organization like the Facebook page and the website. However, I am an avoider at the same time since
sometimes I didn't take the presentation very

Group Project Reflection
Throughout my years in graduate school, I found myself with many opportunities to work on group projects. I always found these projects to be a
rewarding experience because it was not only an opportunity to contribute my experience and ideas to the project but also listen to experience and
ideas of my teammates. However, working on a group project also meant making sure to examine the work of my teammates and vice–versa. So for
each group assignment, I always made sure to follow certain guidelines I laid out for myself in order to get the assignment completed.
1. Ask questions – especially if I needed a teammate to clarify what they needed from me or if I not sure about what they wrote.
2. Provide thoughtful suggestions on the work of my

Group Identification Definition
Per Anthony & Mullen (2016) in group dynamics, norming is part of the group counseling stage where problems are solved, and group members began
to understand the group and respect the group leader. Using identification and hope in a domestic violence group can have a positive change on peer
relationships within the group (Gladding, 2016). Identification occurs when group members can relate to another member and hope is thoughts that
the future and possibilities will be better (Gladding, 2016). In a group setting, identification is essential to have cohesion among the members
(Gladding, 2016). Moreover, I believe that if I know others in the group share my experience, I would feel more at ease. When I think about the
instillation of hope, I

Introduction
In this forum, will be addressing the important concepts learned about groups. Will be describing my personal experience working with my assigned

tribulation, integrity, and team.
Group
"Group work is a teaching strategy that promotes academic achievement and socialization"(Frykedal, Chiriac, 2011). This method is often used since

39). Part of the role of an efficient leader is to recognize that conflicts and unexpected situations will be presented in any type of organization. Leaders
will have to make critical and tough decisions that might bring tribulation. A leader should be able to take control of the situation and provide
guidance, always taking in consideration the safety and well being of those who follow. It is important that leaders make choices that "protects the
organization and others from undue distraction to the mission" (Dees, 2013, p. 44).
Integrity
"Integrity is simply telling the truth or staying true to a set of values" (Dees, 2013, p80). Integrity is essential in the effectiveness of a leader.
"Integrity is often cited as a critical component of leadership"(Palanski, Simons, & TreviГ±o, 2011). An effective leader understands the need to be an
example of honesty and truthfulness." While leaders may wholeheartedly agree with the concept for a subordinate to fully embrace effective
followership, he or she must trust in the leader/follower relationship"(Satterlee, 2013, p. 7). Followers will place their trust in a leader that act upon
values, moral principles and beliefs. Leaders should understand that every decision would have an effect on those around themselves. "The more
choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and finally, the
fundamental acceptance of yourself"(Dees, 2013, p.

Leading In The Here And Now: Video Analysis
During the "Part III: Conflict and Summation" in the video Group Work: Leading in the Here and Now (Association for Specialists in Group Work,
n.d.), the group worked through a tremendous amount of conflict. The main driving force for the conflict was based on self–disclosure that group
member Jean offered to the group, surrounding her feelings of anger and distrust with the other members. Her comments sparked the group to
investigate and explore their own feelings and emotions not only towards Jean, but the group itself. Corey, Corey, and Corey (2010) noted that, "by
taking risks in disclosing here–and–now observations and reactions, members are actively creating trust and making it possible to engage in deeper
self–exploration," (p. 253). While Jean's comments upset some individuals in the group, it initiated open and honest responses from the rest of the
group. Even though Jean was the primary driver of the conflict during this session, I was particularly interested in Art's feedback and experience during
the video. His personal self–disclosure and involvement within the group conflict hit on the key points of this discussion post: personal awareness and
successful resolution ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
During the course of the video, as with all of the video's, I thought that Dr. Carroll was extremely hands–off. While Art's observation was real for him,
and the conflict itself eventually helped him resolve his own issues within the group (authority), I did not see Dr. Carroll using Jean as a means to
engage the group in discussion. She was rather inactive during all of the videos, and allowed the group to work out their differences amongst
themselves. Her almost silent–observer role was extremely non–confrontational, yet Art challenged her directly, addressing her authority (Association

Working In A Group Analysis
Working in a group was a great way to get to know my classmates. Despite our differences, we worked together and completed the assignment. I like
working in a group, but sometimes I would rather do the assignment on my own. Group work has its good and bad effects. Group work allows a big
assignment to be completed at a faster pace than working alone. I did not know much about zombies, but some of my other group members did. Each
individual has different viewpoints; therefore, it helped us accomplish our ten–paragraph essay in a small amount of time. My group as a whole was
assigned the role of public health. Haley was the leader, and she assigned each group member a specific task that we were responsible for. Each of
us had to write two paragraphs about a specific situation that was given to us. We worked together and wrote the introduction and conclusion. I did
not like the fact that my grade relied on other people. On the other hand, I had some control over that by telling them how I felt about what was going
on. None of my group members was a total slacker. Although, I did not know my group members personally, so I was not sure whether or not they
would take responsibility and complete what was assigned to them. They all pulled through and we achieved our goal of completing the assignment.
We each worked... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I liked having my peers there to help me with my writing. They let me know if I needed to make any changes to my paragraphs. I was there to help
them with their writing also. I liked that we broke up a big task into little ones for each member. If I had to write the essay about zombies by
myself, I would have been lost. I would not have known where to even begin. Being in a group allows you to throw your ideas out there, and
combine them and come up with something great. I do not know what the grade of our paper is, but I think we did a good job working

Groan Group Observation
Through the observation, I hardly saw any progression through the Groan Zone and I assume that is because this group has been meeting once a week
for about 10 years and while they may face misunderstanding or miscommunication they have worked though enough of it that they have a solid
foundation of shared understanding and the collective thought processes of their teammates. The group did in fact progress through the Divergent and
Convergent Zones. At some points, they seemed to work through both zones at the same time. For example, while generating a list of ideas they made
sure to summarize the key points of their ideas. After this step they not only looked for the conflicting issues between their ideas but they could come
to agreement on which brainstormed ideas would work and which ones were forgettable. Finally, the last point that they processed through was
exercising judgment. This process was interesting to observe. First off, it was difficult to observe and not comment on their ideas and secondly, I could
notice the sensitivity when giving the judgment. No one wanted to sound harsh when giving their feedback. Which I found was a smart option since
they work together daily. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
First, I noticed the paraphrasing that was done by the facilitator. If anything, this was one of the most used techniques. I think it was the dominate
approach because she could create a new conversation through paraphrasing and it stopped her from giving her input, while also giving her
clarification on an idea she might have been questionable about. Secondly, I noticed the facilitator using the drawing out method. She realized my
director was being silent and she managed to draw her out and add her into the discussion

Ch-5 Stress Team Work
During my time working on the CH–47 structures stress team work usually came in waves. There were only two of us working on the team, but
since work had ebbed for the time being my lead felt comfortable taking a medical leave. This effectively made me take the "lead" of our group
while he was away. I completed the usual lead rolls, gave updates to our manager and second level manager. Working to keep tasks on track was
both fun and challenging for me, and I liked the responsibility. Due to the fast paced nature of our program stress often only had time to provide
initial sizing and the part would be released before we had the opportunity to complete a full stress analysis (this wasn't the best way to design/size
parts, but the method worked well most of the time). Since our slow time often involved catching up on analysis, I was working on the formal
documentation for a complex installation when I realized the designer had made a mistake on the thickness of a critical part. To make matters worse the

I organized a meeting across the functional groups required to redesign and sign off the part. Together we set an aggressive schedule and found the
necessary approvals to work overtime. In order to push the installation out in as little time as possible I set a goal for the group to not make any part
changes requiring more than a numerical change to the stress analysis. This was a tough task for me because as a young engineering I didn't have
the knowledge to guide the designers at times. When needed, I brought in a stress tech fellow from another group. I worked with each designer
individually to make sure the new design followed the sizing my analysis had set forth. Also, I organized a daily meeting to gather all the designers
together so we could make sure all the parts fit into the

Have you ever been tapped to make an impromptu group presentation with a half hour's notice?
When is the last time someone asked you for a "brief update" on the status of an upcoming project in "about an hour"?

You can apply the same mantra to impromptu presentations. Sear the basic structure of a presentation into your memory and volunteer to give speeches
on the spot. The more you practice giving impromptu presentations, the more comfortable you become doing so. Just as people trained to respond to
emergencies at a moment's notice, you will be able to respond with a solid presentation at a moment's notice.
Consider the following key points as well as how to best communicate the content that is necessary for the requested presentation.
Please With Threes
A lesson I teach early in my presentation skills workshops, and that I learned in school and in Toastmasters clubs, is to "please with threes". Otherwise
called the rule of threes, this means that you create a presentation using a speech structure that consists of three main components: an opening, a body,
and a closing. Manage these three major parts of a presentation and your speech will be organized every time.
Get Off on the Right Foot
Develop an attention–grabbing opening. On short notice, few people expect you to be witty or humorous. Typically, last–minute presenters are
expected to address a specific issue or concern. Implement the following techniques, however, and you just might come across as witty and instantly

The History Of Algebra, How It Started, The Most Study...
This paper will show the history of algebra, how it started, and how it grew to be what it is today. It will show that it started it developments from the
basic arithmetic operations that first were used to solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and how it went incorporating more
operations that permitted it to solve problems that involve abstract concepts. It will show that the recorded history begins mostly with the Egyptian
papyrus, and how it went passing from one civilization. Moreover; it will show how each civilization contributed with something that at the end helped
it to become what it is today, the most study mathematical subject around the world.
1.Introductions
However; the recorded history begins with the Rhind Papyrus from Egypt and clay tablets from Babylon, which describe the basic mathematical
operations that include an unknown variable, then it passed to India where written records in Sanskrit show that the Indian were already describing
verbally what seems to be the description of unknown variables. Next the recorded history passed to the Greeks, where Diophantus published the b
books that describe the syncopated algebra which are considered to be the basis of all algebra used and studied by European mathematician.
Moreover; it was in Europe where the recorded history of the algebra really was taken to the next level. The lead was taken by Fibonacci with is book

The reason why I choose to present this topic was because neuro disorders are hard to understand, and I wanted to take the opportunity to teach my
classmates useful information for the following exam. Through the development and presentation of this project, the student teacher will discuss the
differences in seizures, safety precautions and nursing interventions. Before initiating presentation, I provided 4 NCLEX style questions for pre–test
and a handout. In the packet, information regarding etiology, manifestations of the 6 types of seizures and nursing interventions where provided. At the
completion of the presentation classmates will know the different types of seizures, precautions during and after a seizures and a score improvement of
4/4 on post–test by the end of post conference. The presentation duration was of 15 minutes and additional time to complete the pre/post–test. After
reviewing the post–test results, I saw an increase scores of 50%. Reviewing scores, I feel pleased with my presentation, with evidence that my
classmates did learn the material by improving post–test scores. Evaluation papers had constructive criticism, regarding speaking louder and having a
clear tone of voice. The comments indeed reflected my weakness, during the presentation I do tend to get quiet and hold back a lot. The more practice
I get with presentations, I believe will help me grow

Laura Ashley Holdings Plc
Laura Ashley Holdings plc: The Battle for Survival The principal activities of the Laura Ashley Holding Group are the design, manufacturing, sourcing,
distribution and sale of clothing, accessories and home furnishings. The Group acts through tow divisions: Retail, which reflects sales through Laura
Ashley managed stores, Mail Order and Internet, and Non–retail, which includes licensing, and franchising, although the retail sector represents the
bigger one. The company operates in the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe and to some extent in the US market. Although the former CEOs of Laura

This market may provide quite a lot of potentials and profit for the company, but it has suffered a lot in exploiting the market efficiently. Moreover, the
closure of small retail shops, the opening of larger shops and the closure of inefficient large shops may not only provoke increasing costs but also makes
employees afraid of losing their jobs, which creates an overall bad reputation of the company and thus an possible reduction of sales. Another matter
that should be analyzed and improved is the supply chain. Solution to the mentioned problems The company should conduct a consumer survey among
its key/traditional/principal/loyal customers to meet their needs. It should focus on their core competences, which is the design, manufacturing and
retail of traditional clothes, accessories and home furnishings and franchising and licensing. Thus they are able to formulate a mission which signals a
clear and straight message towards traditional design. In this way the loyal customers but also new customers may have more trust in the product and
(continue) buying from the company, which would provoke an increase in sales. Maybe it would be wise to outsource some of the clothing
manufacturing to a subcontracting firm to save costs but to keep control over this subcontracting firm. Furthermore, an orientation towards the
traditional AND the youth/modern market, in this way a diversification through an expansion towards a new market (the youth market), would be

A Critical Reflection Of Walmart
Practice makes perfect. We came into this project knowing we can improve from our first presentation. We knew what areas we had to focus on this
time around. We became more comfortable around each other, allowing us to be more expressive without fearing judgment from each other, at least
in my point of view. At first, we were a little upset, since we did not want to do a presentation on Walmart. Walmart had a negative connotation to
them based on their business practices towards their employees, which pushes me away from their company. Instead, we were hoping to base our
project on a sustainable company we, as college students, are closer to, such as New Belgium Brewing. It's funny, but I believe that somewhat make
us more close and unified to one another, being able to rally around a common source of frustration. But in the end, we were good.
In this project we had to complete for our sustainable company, Walmart, we knew we were being asked to create a creative presentation, to use our
imagination to transform the classroom into another world. Creativity is the generation, application, combination, and extension of new ideas. In the
context of groups and teams, creativity is inventing or creating a new idea, strategy, principle, or approach to solving a problem (Beebe and Masterson
302). A technique we used to enhance our team creativity wasgroup brainstorming. Brainstorming is a creative problem–solving method, developed by
Alex Osborn, designed to help a group

Yalom: Group Scenarios
In the small clip, from the beginning, Yalom is observed activating the focus on the here–and–now. He discusses in chapter six that he would begin this
process in the first group session, after all members discuss their reason for joining the group. He would highlight that all members have likely made
impressions of each other, and then invites them to talk about what they came up with. In the group video, this intervention stirred a conversation that
provided the opportunity for members to enact their styles of relating to others with members of the group, Alice became quiet, Alan rescued her, etc. I
think the process became evident as the first comment made was that Alice was quiet. It seems that meanwhile she asserts that she tries to ... Show more

He believes that therapist transparency can lead to "here–and–now activation and process illumination" (p. 218). In addition, it seems that Yalom
believes that by being authentic the therapist can decentralize her role, and can "foster a deeper exploration on the client's part" (p. 218). Meanwhile
mixed results have been reported regarding self–disclosure (Audet, 2011), I find Yalom's argument compelling as he asserts the following: "I am
advocating that therapists relate authentically to clients in the here–and–now of the therapy hour, not that they reveal their past and present in a
detailed manner" (p. 223). He goes on to explain that he doesn't believe it is helpful when therapists talk about ways they have overcome personal
challenges, indicating appropriate boundaries when it comes to transparency, and clients' wellbeing in mind. I agree that certain forms of
self–disclosure can pose ethical concerns, as Epstein (1994) indicates; however, some clients will benefit from the therapist's disclosure (Audet &
Everall, 2003), and their curiosity does not come from intentionally breaking boundaries, and a therapist's rigid standpoint could hinder the relationship.
I have seen therapists have a strong reaction when clients asked a personal question, however, I believe that it makes sense that some clients would
need to feel connected by knowing something about the therapist for their comfort level to

Reflective Learning Journal Analysis
Reflective Learning Journal
At the beginning of this course, students were made to understand the importance and benefits of working in groups and by week 3 of the semester, 2
groups were formed and my group consists of 6 members with different nationalities. We have 3 Germans, 1 Nigerian, 1 from PNG and 1 Chinese
showing the diversity in the group, although we had more Germans in the group. The group members and their nationalities are as follows:
Idris: Nigeria

In solving this issue, the group should be more open to new ideas. My initial motivation towards the group was purely intrinsic but on the long run
it became extrinsic (became all about results.) as I did not see the need to be intrinsically motivated when my contribution to the group during the
first presentation was totally discarded. The need theory wasn't properly taken into consideration in my group as some people didn't care to know
about what motivates others in the group. There were some elements of the free rider effect because of some people feeling that their input to the
group was the best and no order input can be better than what they have offered. Carrying fellow group members along, making them have a sense
of responsibility and not always treating their contribution as not worthy will solve the issue of the free rider effect in the group. As the expectancy
theory suggests that people will expend energy if they think it will pay off so despite all my negative observations about the group, I was able to put
all behind me because I wanted a very good outcome for the group. The end goal of achieving excellence in the project was also a motivating factor
within the group which meant compromises had to be made to achieve

Number Talks Summary
Chapter one in the book Number Talks introduces the rationale for number talks and gives an overview of the basis of what a number talk would look
like in a classroom. Number talks can be conducted in a small group or whole group setting. It is used to help children develop strategies for solving
math problems and to deepen their understanding of numerical relationships. The three main goals of teaching through number talk sessions are to help
students compute with accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility (5). Chapter one gives examples of how to highlight different strategies. For example, it was
helpful to me to see the adding–up strategy highlighted by a number line. I often use this strategy myself with subtraction (only because I took MA
316). I believe there is a great need in every elementary class for number talks. I took MA 316 and in doing so it was very eye opening. Growing
up, I was taught math through standard algorithms. I was always amazed how other people just seemed to be good at computing numbers in their
head. If I tried, I would visualize the problem vertically and try to solve it by the algorithm that I had been taught. I did not have an understanding of
the number relationships in depth. I have a daughter in the second grade. I know by observing her ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In chapter two, it stated how important errors are in helping to clear up misconceptions One rule in math that I have learned and love is that it is
always okay to change your mind. As a student thinks through a problem and self–corrects then learning is taking place. In addition, number talks is
invaluable in teaching children how to articulate their thinking while they defend their answer. In addition, it is important that children have time to
turn and talk to their partner to share their thinking process. This will help students who are reluctant to share with the whole

My Failures During My Group Project
Another failure that I faced during this class was working with my group project. I am not used to having group projects but whenever I did have
them, I always worked with people I knew well. I knew I had to try my best and put effort in communicating more with my group members. Although,
I tried my best to communicate with others, despite a prolonged or no response. I still failed in asking questions or clarifying information I was not
certain about with my group, during the meetings. Therefore, causing me to lose time with my work and stressing about my uncertainties. I did not take
the time to think about any questions or comments before group meetings, as well as ask for help. I thought that communicating over text messages
would be easy,

Instruction Methods For Teaching Decisions
I honestly thought that this lesson was going to be taught to teach to the class. I spent countless hours reading the information in the curriculum
handbook and even collaborating with other teachers just to understand the material properly. I was thoroughly surprised at how well the lesson was
received and it greatly boosted my self confidence in my planning and teaching decisions. This lesson was all about symmetry and dividing "crazy
cakes" evenly between two people by looking for smaller shapes within the larger shape. The shapes of the cakes literally were crazy because they were
not shaped like your normal cake. There were many different angles and sides, because of this each student had to really sit and visualize what other
shapes were inside the cake. I feel that my instruction methods worked great for this lesson. I followed the plan given to me by the curriculum book by
talking about the activity first then letting the students work together in groups to divide the cakes as best as possible. I thought it would be beneficial to
let students come up to the board and practice with dividing the cakes before letting them work with their groups. I think that by allowing a few of
them to show their initial thought process allowed others to see how they could divide their cakes as well. I then gave direct instructions on how we
were to transition to our tables and begin working on their crazy cakes. The classroom has been struggling lately with transitions, so I was very

Why Groups Experience Conflict Within The Organization
In today's complex business environment managers and employees face many obstacles relating to working in groups on assigned projects in order to
complete those projects that ultimately contribute to the bottom line, or enables the company to remain a competitive force within their assigned
industry. There are many reasons as to why groups experience conflict but one business Iwant to highlight refers to conflict within the organizational
structure.
Organizational Structure
According to Robbins and Judge (2009), organizational structure explains how job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated (pg. 519).
When we take a look at this definition we can all assume that structure brings order and discipline within the company and informs all employees on
what tasks they are expected to perform on a daily basis that contributes to the organization's success. However, one main issue that arises from
organizational structure and working in groups stems from when an organizational structure has an abusive leader or manager. When agroup or an
organization experiences an abusive leader or manager conflict can arise within the organization whereby many employees will not respond
effectively to the orders given by the leader and could result in a degradation of job performance. Many employees would be scared to question
immoral tasks in fear of getting fired or many employees would simply quit performing within their designated job or tasks that begins a domino

The Career Leadership As A Foundation For One 's Leadership
The Career Leadership Academy (CLA) undoubtedly provides practical, real–world knowledge that can be applied to an extensive range of
circumstances. Implementing the lessons taught in the class can enable students to successfully build and strengthen relationships in the classroom, on
the job, and with friends and family. Not one of the class's concepts is more important than another, which pushes students to combine what they have
learned to better themselves as individuals, leaders, and team members. Perhaps the most important fact is that CLA's concepts can serve as a
foundation for one's leadership philosophy.

Many philosophies are established during our upbringings, and personal experiences. A family, for instance, is like a team in many ways. We have to
collaborate, encourage, and motivate one another to strengthen our cohesiveness. The unbelievable bonds formed within a family are naturally created
during a process. As stated from Leadership and Professionalism, collaboration's purpose is to "create a shared vision and joint strategies to address
concerns that go beyond the purview of any particular party (Anderson and Bolt, 2013, p.36)." I have found that my experiences with CLA correlate
with this idea. As time progressed, our group began to understand each other, and utilize our strengths to maximize efficiency. This is because we
became more comfortable with each other, learned how to constructively criticize one another, and developed a productive system. My views on the
"process" obviously go far beyond my experiences in this class, but the experiences have undoubtedly reassured my philosophy. The Relational
Leadership Model provides many ideas that can guide one's philosophy about leadership, but there are many other concepts that can equally contribute.
At the beginning of the semester, we took the Clifton's Strength Assessment. Knowing one's strengths can be very beneficial, especially in a group
setting. In my signature themes report, it noted that my five strengths are: futuristic, includer, communication,

Comparison Between Group D And Group C
What is seen in the data is that there is not a steady decline in the reaction time when you compare each column to the previous or next respectively.
The time increases when comparing Group A to Group B, but not Group B to Group C. The same also applies to Group C to Group D and then a
decrease from Group D to Group E. Figure 1 shows a clearer picture of the RT when compared to all of the reaction time. Even though the time
decreases in some areas, there is clear increase or RT when looking from the youngest to olderst. When looking at the graph, there isstatistical
significance in some of the areas and not in others. All data was calculated at a 95% confidence level. The difference from Group A to Group B is only
0.2538 seconds, but when the data is compared to each other, the probability (P–Value) is 0.000287. This is a significant difference between the two.
From Group B to Group C, there is a 0.01 second decrease in time, which has a P–Value of 0.4698. This is not a statistical difference and leaves room
for this time to not be a normal outcome. Group C and Group D has a 0.2289 seconds increase, but when calculated with the raw data, there is no
significant difference with a P–Value of 0.0833. Group D to Group E is a 0.1252 decrease with a P–Value of 0.3719 making it not significant. Group E
to Group F has a 0.6351 second increase with a P–Value of 0.0535 also not making it significant. The last groups, Group F and Group H has a 0.7647
increase but is also

Personal Narrative: The Epic Tale Of Beowulf
This story begins with me stumbling into my High School senior English course, Senior English B. It was the first class of the day, starting roughly
at 8:00 am, I was never too thrilled to be up around this time, even to this day. The day was hot and sunny, as per usual in the sunny vista that is
Phoenix, Arizona. At this point and time in my life, I was just waiting for High School to end; moving on to larger avenues was the most important
thing on my mind. Every day I had these thoughts in my mind, and today was no different. As I took my seat in the back of the musty and old
classroom that was barely maintained over the years, our teacher, Mr. Burns began telling us about our next assignment. Everyone groaned, just
wanting the onslaught of work to finally come to an end. In retrospect, the work was only truly just beginning. The assignment was to be a group
effort, each group to contain five people. As a class, we had just finished reading the epic tale of Beowulf, and for our group assignment we had to
present a section of the story to the class in a fun and more enjoyable format. Mr. Burns had listed some possible choices: Jeopardy, board games,
replaying the section in a theatre format. Dread was all I could feel at this point. Seventeen–year–old me just despised the idea of forced group projects,

a few good laughs. I have been able to successfully extrapolate the areas where I went wrong with communicating with groups in the past, and have

Case Study : Procter And Gamble Essay
What began as a small, family–operated soap and candle company now provides products and services of superior quality and value to consumers in
over 180 countries. However, with the implementation of the restructuring program, Organization 2005, Procter and Gamble is sent on slipper slop.
Will they be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Follow me on the journey leading up to the reconstruction and to the newfound leadership of
A.G. Lafley. Many changes in Procter & Gamble took place within the decades prior to the reconstruction of 1998. One was the shift of the US
organizational structure from product grouping in the 1950s to a matrix model in the 1990s. Product grouping was quick and more consumer focused
business decisions could be made by brand managers at lower levels in the corporate hierarchy. Brand managers held responsibility for profitability and
could focus on matching company strategy with product– category dynamics. The company shifted to a matrix model where structure was broken up
by business units and centralized functions. Functional leaders reported directly to their business leadership and also had a dotted–line reporting
relationship to their functional leadership. This shift was made because the US was a homogenous market focused on brand and functions. Centralizing
the structure would give more condensed focus on both function and brand. Whereas the US shifted from product grouping to a matrix structure from
the 1950s to the 1980s, the

In The Knight's Tale, symmetry provides balance to stories by highlighting critical aspects for understanding. The balance of conflict and resolution

Chaucer uses symmetry to creatively conclude the driving conflict of the poem, Arcite and Palamon's conflicting mutual love for Emily. The
conflict between the two lovers begins during their exile in Theseus' prison after being defeated in battle. Palamon is upset by his cousin's
admiration of Emily when he expressed his love interest first; he exclaims, "Yet you would treacherously go about / To love my lady, whom I love
and serve / And ever shall, till death cut my heart's nerve" (34). He expresses his deep love for Emily and anger that his own cousin does not
support him, but loves the same lady. The conflict over their love of Emily forms a deep rift between the two men for the length of the poem. The
rift is mended at Arcite's request to Emily after he is fatally injured in celebration of his victory in the tournament: "Who serves you and will serve
you all his life. / And should you ever choose to be a wife, / Forget not Palamon, that great–hearted man" (78). Chaucer uses symmetry to bring about
an end to the violent tournament devised by Theseus, so that he could determine who would marry Emily. Theseus orders Palamon and Arcite to each
gather an army so that they could fight to the death to win Emily: "To Emily. To this I give my name, / My faith and honour, as I am a knight.
/ Whichever of you proves of greater might" (52–53). The

Personal Narrative: Changing The Theme Of Stagecoach
My experience with my group could be considered a bit of a wild ride. At the beigining there was trouble contacting everyone and getting a
messaging group formed. It's understandable that not everyone could have seen the email right away, being busy college students and everything. As
time went on and the deadline got closer eventually responded and stepped forward to see what they could help with on the project. Because I was a
over worried that no one would respond at first, I had already done essays on cinematography and changing the theme of "Stagecoach" ahead of time,
so everything was going smoothly. The last night before the project was due I was putting the finishing touches on my two word docs for the project
when disaster struck.

Review Of ' Biosemantics ' Millikan 's Goal For ``...
Jessica Scruggs Phil 307 Response Paper #3 11/11/16 Millikan's "Biosemantics" Millikan's goal for "Biosementaics" is to explain what connects a
representation with the thing it represents. To reach this goal, Millikan has to explain that there are special conditions that need to be met to form a
connection between a representation and its object. These "content–fixing" conditions cannot be statistically normal conditions, because normal is a
relative term. An example Millikan gives is that of a red face. Is it a sign of sunburn? Exertion? Overheating? Embarrassment? Or, often times in my
case, alcohol flush? There are numerous views that focus on the idea that what produces a representation is what makes it what it is. Millikan brings up
views by Fodor, Stampe, Matthen, and Dretske. Millikan dismisses Fodor's idea that content is fixed by a causal connection, but the representation's
role in a functional system is what, in the end, determines how the content is fixed. She dismisses it because having fixed content means to "act like a
representation." Stampe, Matthen, and Dretske say that the representations have a detecting or indicating role, but Millikan also dismisses this as
unenlightening, because the terms "detect" and "indicate" basically mean to represent. Millikan refutes all of these notions so that she can explain that
the way a representation is used is what fixes the content, not how it was made. The object of representation stands for something because there is
