...Ever since I participated in this class my skills have greatly improved and have been reinforced. The drafting process for the profile and research paper assignments have taught me alot about where and how I need to improve my writing abilities. During the profile assignment I had some difficulty expanding on the information I was given during my interview and was just listing off the facts about who I interviewed. I fixed this initial rush job by slowing down and expressing her feelings and experiences in greater detail. If I had more time I might have interviewed my teacher again to get more details to add to my project specifically more on her initial experiences coming to the US. The research paper was probably the most difficult drafting process that I have had yet this semester. While autism was a subject that I had a lot of experience and passion...

A marine biologist is a person who likes to study marine animals and sea life like whales, dolphins, crabs, all the way to microorganisms on plankton and the water. They work in private labs and i think that that sounds really cools and for it too be a career that sounds even cooler.

...Attitude a marketing strategy for marketers Oluwajimi Taiwo Minnesota State University Moorhead Fall semester Term paper Attitude is everything. A good example of attitude is an iceberg in the artic. In real life you see 10% of the iceberg which is visible above sea level and the remainder of the iceberg 90% is below sea level. From the example 10% is how we behave as a result of attitude we have below the sea level. The 90% which comprises of attitude mostly also include beliefs, values, motives and culture. Attitude is more important than facts. Attitude how does it affect people? It affects people by changing their mood. According to Charles Swindell, people are now convinced that life is ten percent of what happens to people and ninety percent of how people react to it. What people mean by this, is that most of what happens to people is because of the way they react. The other part of life is what happens because of the reaction. Another simple way of putting it, is that attitudes controls what happens. A popularize definition of attitude is: “an enduring organization of motivational, emotional, perceptual, and cognitive processes with respect to some aspect of the individual’s world (Wrenn et al., 2014). Attitude has become one of the most valuable topic or subject marketers and academicians focus their attention because of the power influence it has in the field of marketing. Attitude is the central part of human individuality. Many examples can be found for people...

...question a writer’s ideas. As a result, the common defense of “that’s my opinion” does not matter much as a reason to support an essay’s ideas. What does matter for a class that requires a textbook such as this one is writing that shows critical thought and (often) outside research. The first step towards writing with these qualities is an understanding that it does not stand alone as an opinion. In fact, college-level writing acknowledges and engages with the ideas of others who have also often done some critical thinking and outside research on the topic. Essentially, college professors want essays that exchange ideas with other readers and writers rather than present ideas on the level of opinions. This is not to say that a student’s ideas do not count in college writing. The process to a completed paper does often begin with one’s own point of view, and professors encourage students to have their own opinions. Understanding that a personal opinion only begins the process, however, is the first step towards improving one’s writing. An Academic “Argument” The word argument often brings to mind attorneys battling in a courtroom or employees demanding a raise. As in these scenarios, a writer of an academic paper also wants to...

...Reaction Paper Number Four Why should we want to experience different cultures? For some the answer is, they do not. They do not want to step out of their comfort zone or maybe have not had the opportunity to experience a real cross-cultural experience. I think if they realized how much these experiences could enrich them; they may have a change of heart. These experiences broaden our view of the world around us and even how we think about ourselves. They can help us except the differences in cultures and make us more tolerant to others. The different encounters can also provide us with knowledge, education, and memories that can last a lifetime. In February 2010 I was able to spend four weeks in Mozambique, Africa. I went into this with very little knowledge of the culture. It was an amazing and sometimes scary experience that I will never forget. Looking back I think I would have prepared better and studied the culture more to help ease the shock of a vastly different world. I believe some of the things I learned this semester would have been very helpful. Application of Dialectics While in Africa I remember thinking just how different these people were. Their language, their customs, and numerous other things were very different from what I was accustomed to. When applying the differences-similarities dialectic I realized maybe we are not as different as I first thought.1 The way they greeted each other was very much the same. A handshake and a smile were the most...
