personal overview of all the week’s content From week one to week six, we discussed essential topics that relate to the course. After going through the six weeks, I gained knowledge in various issues, especially those that affect the minority groups such as education, health, equity, among others. To ensure that all the imparted knowledge is of benefit, I hope to reflect on the entire course discussions. In this reflection paper, I would wish to provide a personal overview of all the week’s content. Arranged in a chronological manner, this commentary contains my view on what I have learned from week one to week six. In week one, we discussed education issues. I joined those of the argument that the current education curriculum should be changed from focusing on students’ results as the output to instilling values, morals, and skills in learners (Whitehead, 1967). After proper scrutiny of the current education curriculum, many agreed that the system should be transformed. I still think that the curriculum needs to be transformed from result-oriented to skills-oriented. Further, the teaching process and methods…

Argumentative essay- The need for personal activism The societal hierarchy structure is a system that can be traced back to existence from time to history. The most common mode of social stratification can be identified in the division between the ruling class and the subjects. The ruling class can be determined to be the bosses while the subjects are the worker bees who are charged with the task of ensuring that the needs and the wants of the minority few members of the ruling class are met. Democracy is a form of governance in which the people believe to have a voice and that they are in full control of the system and the regimes under which they are governed through the possession of a vote. The people, therefore, elect their “leaders” based on merit as well as their capability to represent their interests in higher governmental tiers. This system of leadership consequently led to the development of the political fueled politics where the most convincing activist takes the day if they manage to convince a majority of the voters…
UC Personal Insight Questions UC2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. Tabula rasa. I stare at a blank slate. A blank wall in my bedroom, and I wonder, what can I do to this wall to make it unique. I have painted and changed my room through every stage of my life. Every time I change my room, I return to the tabula rasa. Staring at this wall makes me ponder the next steps of my future. How can I combine my best character traits -creativity and altruism- into a major and a future career? Creativity is the predecessor to my future career in medicine and my reason for success. I am very creative in the way that I find new solutions. For example, I know that the prescribed path to medical school is any type of science, especially biology. For me, following this narrow path, could potentially make me narrow minded-something I…

Personal Descriptions From a psychological point o view, people tend to think that their ideologies and ideas are correct. The first thing that comes to anyone’s mind when a different idea emerges is to find a gap into which to critic other people’s ideas. Sometimes, people will even go wrong or even break certain norms but still, think that they should be allowed to do as they so wish. The main reason behind the behavior of people when defending their behavior is a lack of acceptance for one’s shortcomings or failed responsibilities. The introductions given by Lee, Blair, Michael, and Horace reveal how people believe in being right and try to use statements that could appear demeaning to others in a bid to defend themselves. People will always find ways to defend the reasons for some actions without sounding too transparent or rude. From the introduction given by Lee, one may notice that Lee does not like being a butcher. Although Lee does not mention not liking the butcher’s work, the fact that it was the only thing that Lee…

Personality change Unemployment has been proven to negatively influence the well-being of an individual, however, it is yet unproven whether it affects the personality behaviors of an individual. Despite this though, results indicate that unemployment is associated with psychological implications. Studies prove personality is malleable by socioeconomic variables for instance income or marital status. Also, Boyce, Wood, Daly & Sedikides, (2015) assert that personality change is associated with the process of intrinsic maturation caused by genetic influences. An additional contribution to personal change is the environmental variations in events such as retirement and marital status, factors that have been associated with personal change. From various definitions, it is possible to regard personal change as a glimpse of the changing nature of individuals as they engage dynamically with their environments as longitudinal studies suggest that the change has environmental and genetic components. Since unemployment is a severe environmental change that restricts the chance of an individual engaging with certain types of tasks and omitting social contact, it will, therefore, permeate the person’s life and aid instigate change in behavior even…
