...The Responsibility Project Lorraine A. Garcia ETH/316 May 20, 2013 Glenn H. DeAtley, J.D. The Responsibility Project “The Home Team” is a great short film reflecting the team comradery of the Murray State Racers basketball team. This film reflects the coaches and players perspective, as well as, the community’s love of the game, players, and traditions. This is not only just an extra curriculum event for these people this is an event that brings out families across all areas in the city. They have had a very successful team over they years and when entering the gym and the many banners reflecting their championships are a reflection of that. One of the issues that was brought up in the field was that of the importance of the game. Restaurants and people reflecting the school colors, signs being changed to show the support that they have for the team and the town almost completely shutting down in order to attend home games were expressed and shown. These are sure signs that the support that they have for the team is huge. Being a small town, Murray thrives on talking and living and breathing basketball and it was actually stated on the film that it is what Murray, Kentucky on the map. The players spoke about how when they came into the school their freshman year they were treated as family from everyone and feel that everyone in the town are friends. Coach Steve Proham said that he witnessed that the players, as well as him, are in embraced as family...

...Stranger, is an existential anti-hero. Locked into the routine of daily existence, his life is a shapeless void without ideas, preferences, goals, or emotions. Like a robot, Meursault responds to everything automatically, neither feeling nor caring. When he is offered a job transfer to Paris, Meursault says he does not care where he works; yet he does not go because moving would be too much trouble. His mother’s death is met with similar lack of response: he feels no despair or grief. Occasionally, Meursault lacks motivation to do anything, so he spends the day sitting at his bedroom window, smoking cigarettes more out of habit than desire. Meursault utilizes all of the six existential themes: Freedom, Contingency, Individuality, Existence, Reflection, and Nihilism. The first existential theme is freedom. Freedom means that whatever happened prior to now does not influence what your next choice in life will be, we are free to make any choice we want. Meursault displays Freedom by just doing as he wishes to do. Meursault’s mother dies so he attends the funeral. While at his mother's funeral, Meursault decides to smoke cigarettes, drink a cup of coffee, and also he fails to cry. This just shows how Meursault is displaying his free will, he does not let the influence of his mother dying effect what he...

... The character is shown via a mirrors reflection as she looks up at the ceiling, speculating on human behaviour. It’s interesting to note that the subject has been shot from above. Not only does this reiterate her position of vulnerability, make us focus on the dialogue but also gives us the impression that in her state of depression she will be swallowed up by the frenetic pace and lifestyle of Hong Kong. While Blondie is narrating, the camera slowly eases into the subject, but comes to a halt before we get a clear close-up shot of her face. It’s almost as if the director has nearly allowed us to finally connect with this recluse but then terminates the intimacy. It reveals a lot about her character. She is cold, aloof and taciturn. This is the point where she exhibits some of her opinions and feelings which is why we get the zoom up. She is in her most vulnerable state of the film. The fact that she is so prominent within the frame demonstrates that this is the closest we have been to Blondie. However, the cameras movement ceases before a more detailed shot is included which is frustrating for the audience, as we feel that we can never be truly intimate with this character. If the film is fundamentally about connection, then this character personifies someone who doesn’t want to be connected with and perhaps would rather be alone than extend herself. ‘You’ll never know me’ is a perfect example of this; inviting no one to witness her rawest form. This would then explain...

...Four/Term Three: Applied Psychodynamics Module code: FFCS403S4 ASC Final Project Final Essay: The project Conflict: productive and destructive dynamics in the work place. Conflict is a recurrent phenomenon in the workplace, its impact can have reverse effects and push people to either surpass themselves, or the contrary deteriorate. When you have individuals coming from all different backgrounds and beliefs merging together in the workplace, conflict is inevitable. There are the work-specific problems related to promotions, salary disparity, lack of recognition for achievement, or shared responsibility among a team. There are also more general issues with personal space and privacy; and then there are plain old personality conflicts.” In this reflective, observational and theory piece of essay, I will explore the topic of ‘Conflict’, as it is relevant to the organization in which I am working. I will include observations drawn from a fellow student’s workplace, and reflections on the process of undertaking the project. Also integrating the different aspects of my learning by adding relevant psychodynamic theory, to try and clarify my reflections and to make sense of this piece of work. Naturally, I will disguise the names of individuals and organizations for the purpose of confidentiality. Let me also add a little note to declare that English is not my first language. The process of undertaking the project was not an easy task. What was required for this compelling work was to...

...feedback to students and instructors at short-term intervals (e.g., during a class or on a weekly basis) * Summative assessment provides a description of students' level of attainment upon completion of an activity, module, or course * Evaluative assessment provides instructors with curricular feedback (e.g., the value of a field trip or oral presentation technique) * Educative assessment Integrated within learning activities themselves, educative assessment builds student (and faculty) insight and understandings about their own learning and teaching. In short, assessment IS a form of learning. At its most useful, educative assessment (sometimes termed active assessment) is an episode in the learning process; part of reflection and autobiographical understanding of student progress. Diagnostic and Formative Assessment Diagnostic Pre-Assessments Diagnostic assessments (also known as pre-assessments) provide instructors with information about student's prior knowledge and misconceptions before beginning a learning activity. They also provide a baseline for understanding how much learning has taken place after the learning activity is completed. Instructors usually build...

...UNIVERSITY OF THE EAST Recto, Manila NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM NARRATIVE REPORT BANDOY, Mary Aldzel B. September 19, 2015 Prof. MIRANDA, Perla F. STC 112 – 11M NARRATION OF NSTP CLASSROOM AND BARANGAY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES June 13 (NSTP classroom) The class was held in room EN 500 and was headed by professor Ma’am Perla F. Miranda. New faces, new friends, new environment. At first, I was hesitant to be in this class because I thought that I won’t feel the belongingness I yearn for in a group. But it turns out that I have enjoyed the company of my professor and some of my block mates. We were instructed to make ourselves known in front of the class and were tasked to memorize at least 20 names of our block mates. It was very exciting for me because I were able to know the names of these people in my class and they were able to know my name. It was a great day because I get to bond with some of them even if it’s just for a little time. June 20 (NSTP classroom) NSTP Core Values: Maka-Diyos, Makakalikasan, Makabayan, Makatao. These core values taught in STC 111 were reviewed and role played by us. The class was divided into four groups and each group was assigned to present their understandings on the assigned core value by role playing which was graded by the other group. We were third to present and impart our own ideas in front of the class about makabayan. Somehow the performance was not quite good enough for the other group so we were graded...

...supervisor. This did not come as a surprise to me as I felt from the beginning I would be around half and half of each general area. In driving to lead and create an environment where all respect each other and grow together, I find that even not being in a supervisory position, I still bring people together. There are a lot of things that go into being a good supervisor, one of the most prominent being improving employee relations. The reason for this is many reasons. Developing employee relations requires the respect of your employees. In order to promote these relations you need to also be positive and I feel a perfect mix of leadership and supervisory attributes help this. I believe that being split almost down the middle is a direct reflection of how I see myself in leadership as well. I would promote good employee or relations by first earning respect. No leader in the world can promote a happy and healthy work environment if they do not first have the respect of those employed under him. This is true in every leadership role anywhere you go though. In a church with a crooked pastor without respect of the congregation, the church would eventually fall as you look to the pastor for guidance. In a home without respect for the parent, how would you expect your children to do well and how would you raise them if nothing you say is correct in their eyes. In school, without a respected facilitator, how would one expect any effective learning if the teacher has not earned the...

...disaster response, emigration and immigration, policy and decision making, health care, poverty and economic justice, and environmental conservation (Gibbons, 2012). There are many aspects of the environment that affect our global society. It is crucial for organizations of all types to understand their role in environmental issues. Although, there are groups of individuals taking steps to improve these issues, these efforts will not be successful until everyone works together on a common goal of environmental sustainability. Boyd and Osbahr assess international organizations that are addressing concerns related to climate change (2010, p.629). The authors stressed the need for action in the area of the environment. The goal of this project is to gain a greater understanding of how three different organizations have taken measures to address climate change. There are many aspects of the environment that affect our global society. As globalization progresses, the earth’s natural systems will change local environmental issues into global problems. Nations all over the planet will be affected by all environmental problems including acid rain, air pollution, climate change, ozone depletion, smog, water pollution, production of food, overpopulation, and rain forest destruction. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change stated that people are experiencing changing weather...

...The Story of My Search When assigned this project, I did not know much of my name. So I thought, what does my name mean, and I began searching. Although finding little information, I found some. By using the Internet, a personal interview, and a book, I discovered riveting facts about my first, middle, and last name. To start off this process, I started thinking about my first name. I knew a little of what my first name meant, but not much. When actually searching my name with (www.thinkbabynames.com), the name Kai’Lyn means keeper of the keys and pure. Not many people have my name, but it was one person that I came across from, and see was from the reality show “Teen Mom 2,” Kailyn Lowry. I also found out that Kailyn is not a female name, it is most commonly in male population. I also interviewed my mom about my first name, and she said, “I wanted you to have a white...

...societies”. This essay will discuss Conrad’s distain for imperialistic societies as seen in “Heart of Darkness”, and how these criticisms are relevant in contemporary societies. The story “Heart of Darkness” explores the issues and hypocrisy surrounding imperialism in convoluted ways. The story plays out through Marlow, as he travels from the Outer Station inland to the Central Station and finally up to the Inner Station. During this trip to the Inner Station he is witness to the atrocities endured by the labor’s. Marlow describes scenes of torture, inhuman cruelty and slaver imposed on the natives, as they are forced to work. The scenery of the trip up river is an incidental look into the harsh colonial operation in foreign lands. The catalyst for Marlow’s adventure has to do with the bigotry inherent in the rhetoric used to condone imperialism. The men that work for the Company use words like “trade” to describe what they are doing, and the manipulation of the native Africans is part of a philanthropic project of “civilization”. Kurtz, on the other hand, is open about the fact that he does not trade, but rather takes ivory by sheer force. Kurtz’s self-described treatment of the native peoples include word like “suppression” and “extermination” (Conrad, 1899) do not attempt to hide the fact that he rules through brutality and coercion. This contemptuous honesty eventually leads to his ultimate destruction, due to the fact that his overwhelming success threatens to expose the...
