...How I feel about people who copy my concepts, ideas, and even content How do you feel when people copy your ideas, concepts, and content? I know this question evokes mixed reactions. For instance, some people are proud to have their intellectual information copied even though such copying does not credit them. Such people are proud because they like helping people. On the other hand, there are those that are extremely jealous when people copy their ideas, concepts, and contents. To be honest with you, I happen to be in this category. I hate it when people copy my intellectual ideas without seeking my consent. I consider copying my intellectual property as theft. I never come to terms with whatever reason a person can claim for copying my work. I detest when people copy my ideas, concepts and content such that if I were the jury in a suit against them, I consider hanging as the most appropriate judgment. I hate people who copy my intellectual ideas and concepts because they put your ideas as if they are the original people behind the idea. These people who nothing else than to copy paste kill my morale. They kill my enthusiasm to generate new ideas because I know they will copy any new idea I develop and they will not mind passing credit where it is due. However, coming up with new ideas is what I do best. I generate new ideas by default and it is only a matter of time before I come up with a way of catching these thieves. Once is find my ideas copied, I wonder when will there...

...been straight to the point. I have not learned how to elaborate on what it is that I am trying to say. It is hard for me to write my ideas down and make them make sense. Another goal is to help me learn how to read more and enjoy it. Reading helps you learn how to write and reading is not my best subject. For some reason it just never sunk into my head liking to read. I find it to be boring for some reason. One day maybe that feeling will change and by taking this class will help change my mind but for now, this is it. A way that will help me accomplish these few goals is in this class. Makin sure all my assignments are done to the best of my ability and listening to my professor’s good remarks and bad ones too. Learning from my mistakes with the help of my professor. Help me understand how to put everything that is my head on paper and make is sound like I know what I am talking about. Everything I hope to get out of this class will help me to reach my goals on learning how to write correctly. In business, one day I will have to write something important and I do not want to sound like I have no idea what it is I am trying to say. Even if it is in an email. Still want to always make sure everything is accurate and not sounding like a person who has no clue what they are doing. Make sure the message is in fact accurate and my words are not...

...My Idea of Development Development in its very basic meaning is the progression from one state of being to a more desirable state of being. Take for instance human development; maturing and becoming a contributing member of society is its goal. It is more desirable to be a mature and productive adult than to remain a child or child-like. The same goes for the development of nations and their economies and political and social systems. It is the goal for developing nations to mature and become stable contributing members of the global community and economy. In human development, part of becoming an adult is gaining the ability to be self-sufficient and having the confidence to continue to be so. Once again if we apply this idea to the development of nations, part of developing is becoming a nation that is sustainably self-sufficient. Obviously the development of third world countries is vastly different from human development, but if you look at the factors that contribute to successful human develop you can generalize them to fit with the development of nations. Whether talking about the development of a human being or a nation, almost everyone would agree that there are fundamental elements that ensure success. Those elements are proper nutrition, good health, education, positive reinforcement and confidence, ability to take care of one’s self, and stability. Michael P Todaro and Stephen C. Smith define the traditional view of development as “the capacity of a...

...Depending you are a man or a woman, there can be many aspects and opinions of the good life. Depending your rich or poor, there are many aspects. Some people say money is the key to a good life, but I do not think that. The age means something, but I have my opinion and have my own examples, and I will tell you, and can only speak for my self. From childhood you need good solicitous parents. If you have good parents, it has good effects on you, but if you have bad parents that don’t care about you, it will have negative effects on you and your future. Of course, that’s not a rule, but in most cases that will be the chance. My parents raised me well and have always loved me, and I love them too. If your life has to be good, you always need some resistance from your parents, so it isn’t all sugar in your childhood. Resistance will surely be good for you. My parents always there to support me. Support is very important for your life no matter your 5 years old or 60 years old. They have been there to support and guide me, whether it is badminton, school or any other problems. So it’s very important to have parents, and most important, parents that supports and guides me. Then you grow up and gets older. You start in school and get a lot of friends hopefully. I see the school as a important thing for your life, why that is the way to build up a good education, so you can have a job when your finishing school. For people who do not blow up, education is the same as a bright future...

...outside the box to determine great ideas that ensure success and determination when brainstorming anything. Reflecting back to week one I had to identify what critical thinking was to me and identify the six thinking stages of thinking and I fell into stage two which was the challenged thinker. I put myself into this stage because of how much I didn’t really know about critical thinking and the details it included. After nine weeks of learning about critical thinking and the details that are included, I have been able to move into further stages of critical thinking. In the last nine week’s I have read and understood many significant things about critical thinking. The top three significant things I have taken away from this class are; creative thinking, the role of questioning and criticism, and arguments analysis and evaluation. Creative thinking has taught me how to evaluate strategies to promote creative thinking and curiosity, and how to explain key methods for producing ideas. I am now able to understand different ways of thinking creatively when producing new ideas and presenting them. The role of questioning and criticism has ensured me to explain types of questions that lead to critical thinking, and to apply those strategies to stop criticism in problem solving. After learning about this topic it has ensured me to be more aware of the questioning that leads me into accepting and giving criticism when producing new ideas. My last significant thing I learned during...

... One must be creative to produce an original idea which solves the problem. There are four stages in the creative process used to solve a problem. I briefly will describe each stage. The first stage is “Searching for Challenges.” In this stage, meeting challenges in an imaginative, original, and effective way is the essence of creativity. This stage of the creative process represents the habit of constantly searching for challenges. It is this fact where creativity hinders on the challenges that one perceives. The second stage is “Expressing the Problem or Issue.” Finding the best expression that will produce the most helpful ideas is the objective in this stage. Consider as many expressions as possible. Each expression produces different avenues of thought. This will help an individual see a problem from many perspectives. The last thing a person wants to do is view a problem form just one perspective. That will limit that individual from many beneficial avenues of creative thought. “Investigating the Problem or Issue” is the third stage. This stage allows you to gather the necessary information to effectively deal with the problem. Research, experiences, and observations will be factors in dealing with the current problem. You can also interview knowledgeable people with expertise in that field. The fourth stage is “Producing Ideas.” The objective in this stage is to produce enough ideas to allow a decision or what action to take or...

...challenges, expressing the problem or issue, investigating the problem or issue, and producing ideas. In the first stage: searching for challenges, it is expected for challenges to be constantly thought about and searched for. The text book “The Art of Thinking”, it says that the importance of searching for challenges is reflected in the fact that you can be creative only in response to challenges that you perceive (Ruggiero, 2009). In other words, without challenges there is no need for the mind to be creative. The second stage of the creative process is expressing the problem or issue. In this stage, it is best to find an expression that will yield the most helpful ideas. When looking for the best expression, it is looking for the best way to identify the problem or issue in a question form. The third stage: investigating the problem or issue, is where necessary information is collected to effectively deal with the problem or issue. Lastly, the fourth stage: producing ideas, is the stage where ideas are produced to decide what action to take or what belief to embrace. There are two common obstacles in this stage that consist of the unconscious tendency to limit your ideas to common, familiar responses and the temptation to stop producing ideas too soon. When searching for a personal challenge, the first thing that came to my mind was the imperfections in my new position at my employer. I and three other people...

... Epitaphs Plato v.Aristotle Plato: Aristotle, may I ask you why you disagree with my theory of forms? Can you explain, or reveal your thoughts as to why? Better yet, express a theory you could replace my theory with. Aristotle: Sure, do you mind answering some questions for me? Just to confirm my understanding of your theory. Plato: Certainly. Aristotle: Is it safe to assume that the way you define the word ‘form’ in your theory of forms is synonymous with the word ideas? Plato: Yes. Aristotle: Ideas are perfect as long as they are in your mind. Would you agree with that statement? Plato: Yes, I would agree with that statement. Aristotle: This could be taken a step forward, a step so far that even you will disagree with it. Would you like to hear my progression based on your theory? Plato: Sure. Aristotle: According to your theory of form every idea a person has is perfect, and every attempt to bring life to that idea is imperfect. Is that right? Plato: Yes it is. I’ve said this before. Aristotle: Do you realize that someone could very well take your theory and assume you are insulting the Gods, or at the very least someone could interpret it in that way. Plato: What do you mean? You believe that I imply that God’s are flawed? You think that my theory of form can lead someone to believe such as thing? Aristotle: That, and worse. You see, if the idea of something is perfect and to create it makes it imperfect you must consider the world...

...person, new media is what comes to my mind. New media is mostly internet and television based. When I think of new media, I automatically think digital. Now media is much more convenient and certainly more accessible to the public than it used to be, due to the fact we have the world at our disposal super computers in our pockets, our smart phones. It puts the whole word at our finger tips opposed to listening to radio to get our main source of news. I learn by watching and listening and reading news of varying types, styles and forms. I have different sites and channels I to go to for different types of information. When it comes to what is happening in the world today, such as bombings etc., war wise I watch the O'Rielly Factor with my dad or at the least the first 20 minutes almost every night to get a better understanding on the world we are living in. I feel confident in the show I watch for world news is current and up to date. I don't feel that I get shorted by the information that I am receiving from my television due to the factor that I believe, more conservative views and feel that his opinions on government have helped me shape and develop my own based on what he has said. I feel and think he does a good job presenting a fact based show with information from "Both sides of the isle". Still I like to keep an open mind, look at facts, study more than just a single source of facts and make conclusions based on my information. My other news facts comes from the Internet...

...I will use definitions in my paper. The reason is many people know that they have the option to rent or buy a home but they are not all familiar with the terminology. Rental property, investment property, equity, and principal and interest (P&I) are all terms that many people may not be familiar with. The whole point of my paper is to try to persuade someone to buy a home instead of renting for the rest of their lives. I cannot persuade someone to do something if they cannot understand the points that I am trying to make. Therefore definitions, or at least a quick explanation, would absolutely benefit my paper. Also, if I use terms that the audience does not understand this can make them decide to stop reading or completely shut out the possibility of considering my ideas. I would not feel comfortable, or see the point, of reading a story in a language that I did not understand. The same applies to reading information in any essay. The point of creating a persuasive essay is to persuade the reader. This can only be done if the reader can comprehend the material. I believe that compare and contrast could definitely work in my favor when trying to persuade the audience, it can also work against me. I do not want to list too many negative points about renting because that will make the reader think that I am trying to push my ideas on them. On the other hand, I do want to point out some of the major points that will help me persuade my audience. The trick is...

...MY APPROACH TO WRITING COURSE: ENG115 To begin with, I just wanted to say as a returning college student after nearly a decade. I thought this college thing is going to be tough, but after the first two weeks has passed. I found out that it was not so bad, and the courses I’m enrolled in are not from out of space. (English Composition Course) Is actually very interesting and an effective tool to me. It’s a great help to advance my writing, and this is the main goal for me. So I would be able to write as college student and also as a professional in the corporate world as I am a business major student, and obtain all the skills needed to overcome any obstacles and advance my carrier. Writing is the way to interpret your thoughts or even your own self, wither you writing in college or personally and professionally. The way you write and express your thoughts and ideas, will reflect on all your life aspects, and the better ones writing is the clearer the image and the idea or the impression it will leave on others and readers. To set my goals on writing or to write an academic paper or assignment, I think I’ll start by gathering the information and brainstorming as well as free writing to uncover the main point or the main idea. Then I’ll start constructing the story, organizing my thoughts and details and provide examples to bring out the main point. In addition the Ending has to be meaningful and strong, make sure that idea is clear also maybe give the people or readers...

...Sometimes there are hidden meanings, nonfactual statements that you must determine if valid or not. Questioning the statement or researching a topic may bring truthful facts to your attention. Critical thinking takes everything you know and feel and throws it away. Now you must look at everything with an open mind and soul. The idea is not something that is perfect, evaluating the idea from every possible point is necessary. Strip yourself of everything that you know and be curious about everything. What are the most significant things that you learned about critical thinking during this course? The most significant thing that I learned from this course is that critical thinking involves learning. Instead of taking things for granted you need to ask questions and investigate things that you do not know about. When someone is speaking or writing pay attention to what they are trying to say. If you do not get it then ask questions. Every idea or statement must be backed up with facts, not just someone's opinion. How has your critical thinking changed since starting this course? To be honest I never thought that I was using critical thinking in my everyday life. After this class, I learned that I do use some critical thinking. What has changed? Well, I plan on implementing many of the exercises from the course. The creative process is the most appealing. This part of most of us has been forced way back in our psyche. Loosing this part of our thinking is quite sad...

...rules. In all honesty, the four ground rules were the extent of my knowledge of brainstorming and how to use it in the classroom. After reading the article, I understand better some steps I can take to make brainstorming more powerful of a tool in my classroom instruction and in helping to build creativity in all my students. When thinking about how I approached the Taba lesson, my first mistake according to this article was not preparing the group. I had some facilitators that were helping because I was using this as an observation session. I gave them an overview of the lesson concept, but I could have prepared them better with a list of questions that could have stimulated more ideas and I should have checked to make sure they were aware of the four ground rules for brainstorming. Another mistake I made was assuming the groups, because of it being my AIG class, were familiar with the four ground rules of brainstorming. They immediately ran into the roadblock of trying to evaluate the worth of ideas suggested. This slowed down the flow of ideas, made others hesitant to offer suggestions, and spurred debate that wasted time, most of which were addressed as common obstacles in the article. Not...

...lily james 12 December 2012 Writing Process My personal writing process is probably somewhat similar to what other students do for theirs, because we may have been taught similar ways. I have my writing process broken down into a few different parts. First, I do research and gather information if research is necessary to the paper’s topic. Then, I would start writing the introduction to the paper. Next, I do the actual writing of the paper and describe each topic in more detail. The last step is to, I revise it in case of any errors. I also revise it to make it better. Each step is important in order to make my writing good. I will discuss in depth and detail about each part of my writing process. As soon as I get the topic and know what I am to write about, I think to myself of some of the ideas that I have that could relate to this piece of writing. Often times, I come up with a story in my own life that can relate or something that I know of that can influence my paper to have more meaning, not only to the reader, but also to me. It will make writing the paper easier if you can make a connection to the topic and relate it to yourself somehow. If I don’t really have a way to connect it I just brainstorm for things or ideas that can be included or used in the piece. I make a list of things pertaining to the paper so I can go through the list easier. If it is a really detailed piece, I sometimes use the web process. If it is necessary to the paper, I will research the topic...
