...Game Journal 6 The school of criticism that made the most sense to me was by far the biographical critique. In my opinion the vast majority of the other critiques read as though the author was simply trying to find examples for that particular type of critique where there was probably very little intentioned meaning behind it. Some of the meaning behind the game that was analyzed seemed as though it was forced. The biographical critique, however, analyzes the author’s intent behind the game using quotes from the author himself. This lends more authority to the critique and prevented it from feeling as though meaningless aspects of the game were being critiqued. In the biographical critique for Katamari Damacy the critic uses the author’s own words to describe how the author intended the game to affect his audience. This is information straight from the source and thus allows for the game to be looked at in a new light. The author intended the game’s peaceful, fun, game that is almost devoid of conflict to brighten the lives of everyone that played it and thus make the world better. The critic in a more thorough analysis could then have described whether the game is successful in doing that, and if so by how much. The biographical critique provided the author’s motivations behind making the game. This is a strong basis on which to critique the game. Analyze the author’s intent behind making the game along with how well the game imparts the author’s message. By doing this...

...be wrong but my opinion on “Young people need models not critics” still holds. I do however slightly understand when adults want us to know right from wrong, and know to do the right thing. My problem with this is after or in some occasions before they preach to us about being the best we can be, they demonstrate the total opposite. Being part of the younger generation I’m not sure if I’m speaking for myself when I say we don’t need a how to. What we need are people who understand us and who demonstrate the things that they speak upon, rather than pointing fingers and demonstrating the opposite of which they speak. Adults aren’t perfect but if they’re able to critique the actions of the younger generation, they should be able to perform those same things they advised us to do better. Maybe its even better to not critique us, and once we...

...Critique of Research Article Name Instructor Unit Date Medical articles can be well analyzed based on the content, the reputation of the authors among other useful information. However, it is paramount that evidence based practice (EBP) be adopted when analyzing an article. According to Sackett et al (1996, pg 71-72) “Evidence based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients”. The best available and current research is utilized in making a judgment about the article in question (Drisko and Grady2012). The research article, Healthcare Providers’ Intentions to Engage in an Interprofessional Approach to Shared Decision-Making in Home Care Programs: A Mixed Methods Study by Legare et al., presents views of the healthcare providers in the implementation of the interprofessional approach to shared decision-making (IP-SDM). In addition, it evaluates their intention for engaging in the program. The IP-SDM program has been gaining popularity in Canada but it is yet to be incorporated into the healthcare system (Reeves et al., 2008) Interprofessional approach entails the engagement of different professionals within the healthcare system, where all contribute towards the achievement of a common method of patient care. In addition, the aspect of shared decision-making entails the development of a system that involves the patients in determining the type of treatment that is given...

...Mobile health or mHealth is a technology that concerns about health objective. It is a health service delivery in mobile phone. Most people usually have their own phone. They use their phone to play game, send message, call someone or use their phone for their health. This essay is a critique to “Mobile technology is changing healthcare in developing nations” by Puddak Thomas published in Berkeley Science Digest on December 23, 2012. This paper criticize the weakness of the essay, which is the usage of SANA, and the two fallacies, which are appeal to the crowd in paragraph two and non-sequitur in paragraph five. Firstly, the omission of this article is the writer did not show a method of SANA. It is a tool that uses video, image and text for helping people, and people are able to download it for their health. Sana is a cell phone facilitated clinical information system that connects community health workers and medical specialists (Behar, 2012). Author wants to demonstrate that SANA helps people, but he did not tell the readers how SANA saves people life. One study shows that SANA collects data and interviews the patient through the clinical protocol by healthcare workers. When the data is collected and uploaded, the partner hospital’s doctors will read the information about the patients and make an effective diagnosis recommendation for the patients. If the doctors has a question, they are able to ask the patients by using SANA application (Dmjue, 2014). According to...

...CRITIQUE The following is a critique of the Joomla! User Manual 1.0. The URL of the page is as follows http://help.joomla.org/images/User_manual/user_manual_v1%200%201_10%2021%2006.pdf. This a critique of the installation portion. It also covers some features of the Joomla! Installer that is based on browser and the Manual Installation. The links for these are http://help.joomla.org/content/view/39/165/ and http://help.joomla.org/content/view/40/132/ respectively. Only recently, I installed the software Joomla!. At first I tried the “easy browser install”. But I couldn’t do it and I failed. I then tried using the manual for instructions to help me to install the software. But, the installation procedure through the user manual took me over 15 hours. I later realized, it was not entirely the mistakes of the install process of the software due to which I consumed so much time, but rather the user manual was fairly out-of-date, deceptive and deficient. Overview: • The first and major fault with the document was that it was a “fair weather friend”. If everything operates smoothly, then you rarely need to consult the installation portion. But if some trouble arises, the user manual is ill-equipped to handle it. A quick scan of the Installation part of this manual gives the idea of many users who are having trouble installing the software because they have broken and incomplete installs. • The attempt of the manual to make itself user friendly is actually a drawback for it. It...

...Final Paper Today I will discuss my final peer critique of Aaron, as written and evaluated by me,. As I set and prepared for Aaron’s speech, I notice his dress and demeanor. He appeared well to do with his jacket and slacks. As I further examined him I couldn’t help but notice that he was wearing a pair of work boots. I took this as to be the way Aaron is and nothing else. For if you know Aaron, you know he has a casual attitude and always ready with a smile. Before the class started that day we talked about our speeches and if we could convince ourselves of the topics we had decided on. He seemed a little nervous about his topic because he did not fully agree or disagree with the appearance of tattoos. We talked about both pros and cons of this idea but could not agree on one side. He told me that he had chosen the topic and was going to do what he could to convince us, though you could tell he was nervous. As Aaron stepped up to do his speech, that’s when I noticed his nerves set in on him. He didn’t seem as if he could loosen up and I believe the main reason why was because he wasn’t too sure of his topic. I do believe if he was convinced about it himself, he would have delivered a much better speech. His speech was well organized and prepared and followed the main ideas of what a speech should be, yet he was allowing his nerves to make him loose eye contact. As his speech proceeded Aaron settled down enough to allow his words to flow better. Here is where...

...Article Critique: Stress and Coping Responses to Proficiency Testing in School-Age Children Brea Brewer Indiana University Since the inception of the “No Child Left Behind” Act, proficiency testing of school children has increased greatly. This type of testing helps determine educational outcomes in students, evaluate teachers’ performance, as well as rate schools’ performance. Due to an increased pressure to achieve a certain academic level, students often exhibit stress-related biophysical symptoms especially when their coping strategies are inadequate. The article, Stress and Coping Responses to Proficiency Testing in School-Age Children by Theresa Skybo and Jacalyn Buck, assesses 53 forth grade students’ appraisals of their specific proficiency tests and concurrent stressors, as well as their stress symptoms and coping strategies used. Nurses frequently encounter school-age children both in the school setting as well as the clinical setting. Therefore, knowledge obtained from this study, could be used to help nurses educate parents and teachers how to identify students with test anxiety, and how to help them improve their coping strategies. The purpose of this study was very well defined, easily identifiable, and also met. When trying to decide the type of research leveling, I first looked for the type of design. This study falls within the quasi-experimental design description, and more specifically the time-series design. Since this study was conducted...

...Critique writing - The Visitor This essay will provide a critical view of Patricia Cresswell’s “The Visitor”. It will look at the use of language, point of view, use of imagery, characterisation and setting to name but a few. I will provide my opinions on the piece of writing and explain my reasoning behind this. Cresswell’s use of language in The Visitor strongly suggests to me that McGill is isolated and lonely. The use of the word “frosted” when describing the outside of McGill’s home could be seen as a metaphor for his personality. The writer also states that the “frosted grass” could be “anticipating the approach of an intruder”. The word intruder is a strong choice of word, as opposed to guest or visitor, suggesting that the idea of a visitor is baffling. Another example is shown on line four where the text states McGill’s home is “the only sign of civilization for miles around” and “it occurred to him someone might be outside”. This immediately confirms to the reader that McGill has been alone for quite some time and would not usually expect any visitors. I also feel that the writer’s use of the words “ice cold lips” and “cold as marble” when describing the young girl connects her to McGill as this suggests that she may be lonely too. Cresswell is careful when characterising McGill, I believe he is shown to be a simple man with the best intentions but lacking in social skills due to his environment. This is backed up within the text “she was small and frail… he was...

Costumes: Correct for the play? Correct for the character, place, and period? 3. Lighting: Emphasis, color, movement, and mood. 4. Music and/or sound: Correct for the play? Correct for the character, place, and period? How Do I Critique? Here are two approaches you can take. Each represents a different way to achieve the same goal: Method 1 1. Start with the play: Define the basic theme or idea. (e.g. “This play is about [greed, romance, politics, etc.]) If the play is a well-known classic, what new insight does this production present? If it is a new play, what, if anything makes it unique? 2.

...Critique of a journal article: The Black Family during Slavery: Addressing Stereotypes Restoring Truth In the article “ The Black Family during Slavery”, the author Verene Shepherd put into context the black family during slavery and tries to lay to rest some of the myths that still exist to this day about the black man and woman of slavery. In doing this she explore two schools of research into enslave people’s family, these are: the structuralist and class theorist. The structuralist believes that the system of slavery constraints cultural expressions including family formation. This means that slaves were unable to maintain proper familial structure base on their very way of life, because they were restricted to what their owners would permit. The class theorist argues that slavery allows those enslave some autonomy in constructing kinship and other forms of culture. It means then that this system allows slave to explore other cultures and choose their own partner and also develop familiar familial structures similar to present day realities. Shepherd posits that the stereotypes that were created about black families during slavery are to be cleared up because these were not the truth. She then tries to present the points that were not considered by the structuralist. To extricate the points that were presented, shepherd present research evidence that contradicts the structuralist arguments about black family’s and how they exist during slavery. These are: * The...
