expression

choice and integration
Gestalt therapy is concerned with how a client is experiencing life at the present point in time, and will have this as the basis of the therapeutic work.
A Gestalt therapist, then, would help the client move into those feelings
(or thoughts) in a way that allows a deep immersion into those experiences and the
freedom to express what the client has previously feared to release. Once the client
has moved through the impasse and experienced and expressed what was lying
underneath, an insight usually occurs that helps the client understand what has kept
him or her stuck
Gestalt therapy is helping individuals assume responsibility for themselves rather than relying on others to make decisions for them
Gestalt therapy aims to challenge its clients to move from “environmental support” to “self-support,” in order to mobilize their own resources for dealing with the environment effectively and to make creative adjustments that permit the self to respond to environmental pressures and to inner needs.
expression clients are encouraged to tell who they are as fully as possible, even becoming aware of gestures, breathing, voice tone, and facial expressions. In order to keep them in the “now” and maintain responsibility, clients are urged to preface their expressions with the phrase, “Now I am aware. . . .”
differentiation, so that clients can differentiate among the parts of their inner conflict. They might be encouraged, for example, to exaggerate their facial expression and in so doing, they may become more aware of their “angry part.”
affirmation, occurs when the client is encouraged to identify with “all the parts” that are emerging into awareness. It is here that the Gestalt therapist will allow clients to fully express their pent-up emotions.
choice and integration, the client comes to say, “I am responsible for my frustration and resentment.” “responsibility is really response-ability, the ability to choose one’s reactions,” and it comes about only when we relinquish our defenses and allow ourselves to become aware of our true feelings and motivations. In this stage an internal integration brings a sense of peace and is a sign of a “completed gestalt.”

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

And knowing this, now you have to take this knowledge and apply to marketing and answer the questions whether it's difficult to adopt to foreign culture if it's difficult for people it's probably will be very difficult to also introduce those products and adopt those products to foreign culture.

Research Activity
Sustainable supply chain can be viewed as Management of raw materials and services from suppliers to manufacturers/ service provider to customer - with improvement of the social and environmental impacts explicitly considered.
Carry out a literature review on sustainable / green supply chain and prepare:
·
A report (provide an example) -2500-3000 words approximately and
Issues/topics that
you may like
to address/consider are:
1.
Drivers for Sustainable SCM
2.
Analysing the impact of carbon emissions on manufacturing operation, cost and profit by focusing on product life cycle analysis.
Analyse aspects of the product life cycle in terms of; Outlining CO2 emission points and scope, defining CO2 baseline, prioritising measures to reduce or off set emissions and finally planning and initiating actions.
3.
New ways of thinking/information sharing
Seven key solution areas were identified:
·
In- store logistics: includes in-store visibility, shelf-ready products, shopper interaction
·
Collaborative physical logistics: shared transport, shared warehouse, shared infrastructure
·
Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers
·
Efficient assets: alternative forms of energy, efficient/aerodynamic vehicles, switching modes, green buildings
·
Joint scorecard and business plan: this solution consists of a suite of industry-relevant measurement tools falling into two broad categories: qualitative tools, which are a set of capability metrics designed to measure the extent to which the trading partners (supplier, service provider and retailer) are working collaboratively; and quantitative tools, which include business metrics aimed at measuring the impact of collaboration

to SC, SCOR,GSCF Models
Wal-Mart
may be a good example to look at: when you burn less, you pay less and emit less, and the benefits can ripple further. The big advantages for organisations in becoming sustainable are reducing costs and helping the environment. For example: Wal-Mart sells 25% of detergent sold in the United States, by replacing regular washing detergent with concentrate they will save: 400 million gallons of water, 125 million pounds of cardboard and packaging, 95 million pounds of plastic.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

Based on what you learn those people, you will learn about feelings and their problems and difficulties when they first arrived in foreign countries. And knowing this, now you have to take this knowledge and apply to marketing and answer the questions whether it's difficult to adopt to foreign culture if it's difficult for people it's probably will be very difficult to also introduce those products and adopt those products to foreign culture.

New ways of thinking/information sharing
Seven key solution areas were identified:
·
In- store logistics: includes in-store visibility, shelf-ready products, shopper interaction
·
Collaborative physical logistics: shared transport, shared warehouse, shared infrastructure
·
Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers
·
Efficient assets: alternative forms of energy, efficient/aerodynamic vehicles, switching modes, green buildings
·
Joint scorecard and business plan: this solution consists of a suite of industry-relevant measurement tools falling into two broad categories: qualitative tools, which are a set of capability metrics designed to measure the extent to which the trading partners (supplier, service provider and retailer) are working collaboratively; and quantitative tools, which include business metrics aimed at measuring the impact of collaboration

Wal-Mart
may be a good example to look at: when you burn less, you pay less and emit less, and the benefits can ripple further. The big advantages for organisations in becoming sustainable are reducing costs and helping the environment. For example: Wal-Mart sells 25% of detergent sold in the United States, by replacing regular washing detergent with concentrate they will save: 400 million gallons of water, 125 million pounds of cardboard and packaging, 95 million pounds of plastic.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Fourfold
expression
differentiation
affirmation
choice and integration
Gestalt therapy is concerned with how a client is
2. experiencing life at the present point in time, and will have this
as the basis of the therapeutic work.
A Gestalt therapist, then, would help the client move into those
feelings
(or thoughts) in a way that allows a deep immersion into those
experiences and the
freedom to express what the client has previously feared to
release. Once the client
has moved through the impasse and experienced and expressed
what was lying
underneath, an insight usually occurs that helps the client
understand what has kept
him or her stuck
Gestalt therapy is helping individuals assume responsibility for
themselves rather than relying on others to make decisions for
them
Gestalt therapy aims to challenge its clients to move from
“environmental support” to “self-support,” in order to mobilize
their own resources for dealing with the environment effectively
and to make creative adjustments that permit the self to respond
to environmental pressures and to inner needs.
expression clients are encouraged to tell who they are as fully
as possible, even becoming aware of gestures, breathing, voice
tone, and facial expressions. In order to keep them in the “now”
and maintain responsibility, clients are urged to preface their
expressions with the phrase, “Now I am aware. . . .”
differentiation, so that clients can differentiate among the parts
of their inner conflict. They might be encouraged, for example,
to exaggerate their facial expression and in so doing, they may
become more aware of their “angry part.”
affirmation, occurs when the client is encouraged to identify
with “all the parts” that are emerging into awareness. It is here
3. that the Gestalt therapist will allow clients to fully express their
pent-up emotions.
choice and integration, the client comes to say, “I am
responsible for my frustration and resentment.” “responsibility
is really response-ability, the ability to choose one’s reactions,”
and it comes about only when we relinquish our defenses and
allow ourselves to become aware of our true feelings and
motivations. In this stage an internal integration brings a sense
of peace and is a sign of a “completed gestalt.”

Challenge
a therapist is not objective or neutral, and does not
take a detached, or analytical approach, but invests herself in a
relationship with the client - interacting rather as equals. A
Gestalt therapist will typically have empathy and understanding
and respect for the client's situation, but will also be able
to challenge the client's thoughts and feelings so that the
4. client can gain new insights to what he or she is
struggling with.

Kinds of problems addressed
Identifying the client’s behavior
The environment
Offer a solution
Rewards
The behavioral theory of helping others addresses issues such as
identifying the client’s behavior, in most cases the bad
behavior. Apart from identifying the bad behavior, the root
cause of the behavior is established so as to offer a solution. Of
paramount importance in this theory is that all behavior is
learned and that no one just naturally behaves the way they do;
they must have learned it from somewhere. There are many
areas one can learn behavior. The environment around a person
influences their behavior and the people whom one interacts
with. Behavior is also influenced by the childhood that someone
had.
Rewards are set to enhance good behavior while punishments
are stipulated for bad behavior. It is human nature to react
towards rewards; rewards tend to make people work hard or
behave in a certain way so as to get them. The behaviors to be
observed should be measurable so that one can be helped. For
instance if one is consuming alcohol on average how many
bottles do they consume daily? The behavioral theory of helping
therefore focuses on reinforcement, both positive and negative
reinforcement.
6
5. The populations on the techniques
Counseling
rehabilitated through punishments
is only limited to
The behavioral theory is very appropriate in counseling and
helping children, and in particular juvenile delinquents. This is
because juvenile delinquents need to be rehabilitated through
punishments of bad behavior and be taught good behavior. In
other words, juvenile delinquents need to unlearn the bad
behavior say stealing, and relearn a good behavior that they
violated e.g. obeying the law. According to Sage Publishers,
behavioral theory; “positively reinforces desired behaviors and
negatively reinforce undesired behaviors”.
However, it would be wrong to assume that behavioral
theory is only limited to juvenile delinquents. Adult offenders,
addicts, and others struggling with bad behavior can be
counseled using the same theory. In adults, the rewards and
punishments of behaving in a certain way are put on the table so
as to lure the client adopt good behavior. For instance a client
who is an alcoholic is told the benefits of quitting alcohol
against the negative effects of alcoholism; using practical
examples will be good to provide emphasize of points. Based on
the undesirable effects of alcohol, the client will chose to adapt
an alcohol-free behavior. This is because behavioral theory;
“applies principles of learning to resolution of specific
behavioral disorder (alcoholism”) (Grant, CSUN).

Multicultural issues
6. Freudian’s psychoanalytic theory
The behavioral theory is a constructed from Freudian’s
psychoanalytic theory, a theory that was developed based on the
European culture of the theorist. As such the behavioral theory
poses cultural insensitivity to clients from other cultures, and
ethnicities. For example inhabitation of sexuality was greatly
valued during Freudian’s time (Victorian era); as such it would
not be very fit in a revolutionized era like ours where we have
cultures that oppose certain behaviors. In addition, “many of the
classical theories may fit privileged individuals—or at least
middle-class individuals who are from the dominant
American/Western European culture—very well, especially
men.” Where does that leave the other cultures? it is difficult to
come up with a theory that would be effective for every
individual.

Helper v. Client
Client
Awareness (insight)
What they are doing
How
Self examine
Raise clients awareness on how they are functioning in their
7. own environment, Initial goal is for clients to gain awareness of
what they are experiencing & doing now,
– Promotes direct experiencing rather than the abstractness of
talking about situations
– Rather than talk about a childhood trauma the client is
encouraged to become the hurt child
clients become aware of what they are doing, how they are
doing it, and how they change themselves, and at the same time,
learn to accept and value themselves.
Clients are expected to do their own seeing, feeling, sensing, &
interpreting
Individuals, according to this approach, define, develop, and
learn about themselves in relationship to others, and that they
are constantly changing.

Empty-Chair Technique
Gestalt therapy is not verbal, but primarily experiential; it is
about doing rather than saying. Because the focus is on the here

The Impact of Culture on Education
Nowadays the opportunity to get a valuable education is an
important issue in people's life studies. However, whether you
are disabled, normal or having a limited language, everyone
should get the opportunity in having a valuable education. In
addition, we all know that without education, a person will not
get the chance to live a proper life that will suit him in living a
good life and finding a better future job to support his needs.
Therefore, people with disabilities should live a normal life as a
normal person and that is usually depends on their culture.
Therefore, the way a culture behaves and responds to people
with disabilities can have a huge impact on their ability to gain
a valuable education. I will discuss the differences between the
ways American society and Kuwaiti society responded to
disabilities such as deafness, limited language, and blindness.
The more Kuwaiti and American culture shows respect and
appreciation, the more people with hearing impaired feel
comfortable and earn an education easily. Since I was studying
in Kuwait high school, I had never seen disabilities such as
hearing impaired student. Somehow, later I figured that Kuwaiti
culture offers a special deafness high school and it is a private
school where all students with disability studies together. I was
wondering why they were having their own school and could not
get the opportunity to study with us as any normal student in
public high school. In addition, the way Kuwaiti culture offers a
private school for the hearing impaired student is actually not a
good idea, which I completely disagree with. From my own
perspective, this because it will let normal people feel that they
are different than the hearing impaired students and that is the
way I felt from the beginning, until I meet my friend Talya who
lives in the United State. She was a senior who soon graduate
from high school, she was talking about her deaf friend who was
studying with her, and how they were in a good relationship.
10. Actually, I was shocked the way Talya talked about her friend
who was hearing impaired maybe because in my home country I
have never gotten the chance to meet people with disabilities
such as Talya's friend. Moreover, Talya has changed my mind
about disabled people and suddenly let me reconsider their
situation. Moreover, I like the way of United States culture and
how people in society deal with hearing impaired people in a
respectful and a behavioral way. In addition, I think that the
American society has given the chance for disabled people to
feel comfortable to study with others as normal people, which
will not let them feel different and can help both normal and
disabled people in education for example, they can exchange
ideas and opinions about their life studies which could help
improve both sides education.
Language is one of the important aspects of one's life, therefore
Kuwaiti and American society has to deal with people who do
not have the opportunity to get a higher education in their
language skill in order to push them forward toward their life
studies. For instance, in the Article "Mother Tongue", Tan
illustrates how her mother was suffering from her limited
language and how people treated her. We can see that when Tan
mentioned that the people "at banks, and at restaurants did not
take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not
to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her"
(257). This shows us how people can treat those who do not
have the opportunity to have an excellent language in an
impolite way that might make them feel unexpected in their
society. Also, it will not only make them unfortunately feel
disappointed but will not motivate them to study and improve
their language skills. I disagree with people who treated Tan's
mother while she was trying to communicate with them and
express her needs. From my own personal experience, when I
used to study in Boulder, Colorado at the International English
Center, I noticed that some people in class usually laughed at
the Chinese and Japanese who were coming to study English
and that is because of their limited English language.
11. Back then, I used to have a Chinese classmate who left the class
because of those students who laughed at her; therefore, she was
not having a motivation for people to complete her study and to
improve her language skill, which affects her education. The
difference between Kuwaiti and the United State society dealing
with peoples such as Tan's mother and my Chinese classmate is
that Kuwait gains people who have a limited language with
motivation so that they can feel that they are accepted in their
culture and they are free to participate in their society.
In addition, Kuwait offers a special school for those who need
help to improve their language and it doesn't matter whether
their old age or citizens from other countries. On the other
hand, some people do not have the opportunity to get a chance
to attend school and get a valuable education, and improve their
language. In fact, it was not a big deal for them for example, I
was with my mother in the mall back then in Kuwait, and I saw
a woman in the restaurant. She was trying to talk with the server
and express her need and the server was trying to understand
what she wants add to that he was so helpful to her, which is
opposite to way, that Tan's mother got treat. This can show that
even though people with limited language does not have the
chance to improve their language skill, dealing with people in
their society can help them to gain language.
In my opinion, Kuwaiti society has gained those people the
feeling of being as normal and got their need as everyone else
in the country. This shows culture respect and behaviors for one
with limited language and without culture appreciation those
people will never get the chance to feel free to express their
needs or even to feel comfortable, get accepted in their society
and help them to succeed with their education. However, the
more they talk to others in society the more they will gain
language and get the chance to let their limited English to grow
and improve.
Visually impaired has their own life and the way of
communication with each other, and culture as Kuwaiti and
American has to deal with those people. In Kuwait I used to see
12. in malls, cafes, and gardens blind people with others who might
be their friends or relatives or family helping and guiding them
around. Since I was born until I graduated from high school, I
did not know that visually impaired people have their own
language. Later on, my personal experience in the United State
has changed my mind about them. One of those incidents was
when I was standing with people and we were waiting for the
traffic light to light so we could cross the street and I was
heading to the university then I saw a visually impaired man
alone was holding a long stick. He wanted to cross the street
and I was wondering how he could do this if he could not see
the traffic light. Suddenly, the traffic light made a sound. At
first. I didn’t know why it made that sound, but then I found out
that it was built that way especially for visually impaired people
to help them navigate through the streets by hearing that sound
and by following it. Also, in my complex's hallway I saw an
unfamiliar shape written on my door where the apartment's
number is. However, I asked the office of the building about it
and they told me that it is Braille language, written for those
who are visually impaired. The difference between both
American and Kuwaiti society is that American society has let
those people walk individually which will give them more self-
dependence in their life and that shows the culture respect and
behaves toward people with visually impaired which will help
them reach success in their education.
In conclusion, behaviors and respectfulness are very important
aspects of culture and society. Somehow, it does not only
improves and motivates people's studies, but also provides
success in both Kuwaiti and American societies. For instance,
those manners in both Kuwaiti and United State culture can
show other people from different countries how they see that
even though you have a disability it doesn't mean that the world
is going to end or you don't have a goal in life, but by helping
them and motivating them, they could get over these thoughts
and live a happy normal life, just like normal people. Also, it
will help other societies and open their eyes more about these
13. people and could help build a better developed country with an
amazing culture and society, which will help these people
achieve their dreams and reach successes after having a better
education. Also, it might let other society and countries get
benefits from these learnings, get new ideas, and opinions that
can help visually impaired, hearing impaired and those who
have a limited language to gain a valuable education in different
cultures.
