How does a family of origin impact children? Families are beautiful things as they are the first source of social contact. At a tender age, families teach us how to live, interact, and how to make our way in the world. As kids grow up, the first people they learn to trust are those around them who are mostly members of their family. Family origin defines children’s thought pattern and behaviours. The impacts of the family make people who they are; therefore, positive effects make complete responsible individuals. In this discussion, family origin refers to a unit in which one is raised and not biological family. It should be noted that biological family may have little impact on your development if they did not raise you. The commentary specifically refers to a much broader and a greater community that care for an individual as he or she grew up.  For example, for a child raised up by grandparents, family friends, siblings, cousins or aunt and not his or her biological parents refers to the former as his or her family…

Brain Anatomy and Function The brain is a complex and fascinating organ. It is responsible for senses, emotions and feelings, movement and control, language and communication, thinking and memory. Hence, the nervous system is like the body’s personal computer, constantly collecting, sorting and responding to all the information around it. It is responsible for controlling and communicating with all of the body parts; it is the center of mental activity, including thought and memory; and it monitors and responds to the environment, both inside and outside of the body. For instance, imagine your phone rings. You take it out and see that it’s an unfamiliar number. You’re wary of telemarketers, but you’re also procrastinating doing homework, so you pick up the call anyway. You hear a voice say, ‘hello’; you perceive that the voice is your friend Aaron’s. He explains that he’s calling from a friend’s phone because his is dead, and you make plans to see a movie. Even though you didn’t recognize Aaron’s number, you heard his voice and recognized it as his. Hearing his voice was sensation;…

Hard work (Focus) in Born Bright by C, Nicole Mason Introduction In “Born Bright” by Nicole Mason, there are several instances that implicate that the writer went through various odds. Indeed, he records that his development from nothing towards the achievement of something in America was a hard journey to go through. Against all the drawbacks and lack of opportunities, Nicole felt that a future beyond poverty was not possible. She records that she kept the focus on her dreams, and she did not quit until she saw a way out. Nicole states that the expectations of her life were curved before she could have started imagining what she wanted in her life, just like all children.

The level of poverty in their family did not allow any of her brothers and sisters to finish high school, and she expected the same to happen to her. Mason survives generational poverty, and lack of pre-conditions of success by focusing and working hard to achieve her dreams. Determination…

Forming and Maintaining Personal and Close Relationships. The social exchange theory is one that is based on psychological and sociological perspectives and studies the social behavior or relationship between two individuals developed via cost-benefit analysis. The analysis helps determine the efforts (cost and benefits) a particular person has in a two-party relationship. The theory is, to some extend, unique as it does not necessarily measure a relationship from an emotional perspective. Instead, it relies on logic and calculations in determining balance in a relation. Besides measuring romantic relationships, it can as well determine the balance in a friendship. The social exchange theory assumes that people tend to seek out rewards and not punishments. Also, it assumes that interaction is started to gain maximum profit with minimal costs. People tend to measure the benefits and costs of friendship before starting it. They also know how the gains differ from one person to another and with the same individual for a long time. The costs mentioned in this theory are the negative things in a relationship, while the benefits are the traits…

Trial by Peers’ Program On Decision Making Trial by peers’ program refers to the moments in which individuals are more likely to make risky decisions. Risky decision-making defines being associated in and establishing arrangements in a particular time that could be marred with negative results. For instance, risk decision making has been positively correlated with many risk behaviors, for example, unprotected sex and drug abuse. Trial by peers’ program is a fundamentally social context to consider despite how previous experimental studies show that young people are prone to take risky decision-making. Students consider responsible decisions to whether they want to go to college by including academic choices. The arrangements range from deciding what book to read to judgments on the exact due time to complete homework (Hitt & Tucker, 2016). Where you want to work is a decision making, which is a collection of academic, social life, and emotional studies. Decision making on where to work is associated with considering ethical responsibility at the place of work. Decision making on whether to have a family in the future is characterized…

Data Analysis: Manuel Coding Task 1 Data analysis is a challenging and significant aspect of qualitative research. Manual coding will be a considerable approach to data analysis. Coding involves significant steps in data analysis. For this case of analysis data collected from pre-test and post-test results of viewing photos by travellers. The coding will get conducted by selecting the segments of text from both the tests using numbering in the online surveys.  This idea will help to highlight the quotes from participants. The colour would be used to highlight the quote based on the developed themes. The colour would extract similar quotes with the same identity, phrases. Nvivo software will be used to transcripts and developed the needed ideas (Basit, 143). Task 2 The credibility of data involves the researcher describing the necessary aspect of the research. Thus, for the researcher to ensure transferability and dependability during data coding it needs legitimate and credible  legitimately judge the credibility of the input or participants.

Critical Thinking self-evaluation Critical thinking is continuously used in our daily life. Almost every decision we make involves a degree of minor or significant critical thinking (Ghanizadeh, 2017). One good example I recently applied for my critical thinking was to choose between attending a cinema and completing my class assignments. We had organized with my colleagues to participate in a cinema that night. On the same day, I had some homework that I had not completed and was to be submitted on the following day. The scenario put me in a dilemma of choosing between the two issues. First, I wanted to present the work on time. Second, I never wanted to fail my friends. Though I wanted to be part of my colleagues, I took a step to weigh between my course grades and to attend the cinema event. Considering the advantages and disadvantages surrounding my case scenario of either choice to make, I decided to complete my assignment at the expense of joining my friends at the cinema. Though I would be happy to have attended the cinema,…
