Reflecting on Values as a Writer and Thinker Throughout this course, I have realized different perspectives held by people concerning the values I hold. People have different ways of choosing how to live and the behaviors that they choose to have. Personal values held by an individual always drive the judgment on whether or not a decision is right. Generally, personal thinking, beliefs, and behaviors are determined by the values held and believed to be right. My values realized during the course are desire to invest in personal development, and reliability, especially where teamwork is required while I learned to challenge myself towards achieving my dreams. The writing experience has been on the larger part in line with my values, and the course has helped strengthen my values. Writing and thinking require an individual with a desire for personal development. At the beginning of the course, my writing abilities were not anything to go by. Although I have been a bright student throughout my time in school, the lack of self-drive had cost significant grades in writing. I was…

They concluded that these blogs spread messages that are ‘potentially problematic’…

Literature Search: How are you…really? Measuring wellbeing Word limit: 500 words maximum This assessment task supports CLOs 1, 6 & 7. Background to the topic of this assignment In this assessment you will start to critically evaluate the way in which the psychological construct ‘wellbeing’ is conceptualised and measured. Historically, there has been considerable debate over how to operationalise the construct of wellbeing, as it is often conceptualised within two perspectives; hedonism and eudaimonism. Hedonism focuses on happiness, situating wellbeing within the context of pleasure and the absence of negative affect or pain. Alternatively, eudaimonism suggests that wellbeing is about personal growth and an individual’s ability to discover their true potential in life. How researchers define ‘wellbeing’ can directly influence their research outcomes. This makes it difficult to compare and contrast studies on wellbeing, as researchers may be measuring markedly different concepts. You should start to think not only about the theoretical side of this topic, but also about the research methodology and practical application of research in the area of wellbeing. You can consider any practical / research application of this…
defining discourse It is always helpful to start studying a subject by studying the definitions. We will also take the same strategy, i.e. starting with definitions. As suggested by the name, definitions will give a kind of guide or hints about what the subject is. In additions, definitions will also give information about the components of the thing defined. However, this is not wholly true about discourse analysis. As I always say in many occasions, it is not easy to define discourse analysis (see for example, Suherdi, 1994, 1997, 2006). This is partly because there are many different, even conflicting and overlapping perspectives, ranging from a very linguistic-oriented to socio-political one (Fairclough, 1992). In other words, discourse is different thing to scholars working in different disciplines (Brown and Yule, 1983). To give you detailed illustrations, let‟s see how many different writers use their perspective to define discourse. Widdowson (1984: 100), for example, defines discourse as “a communicative process by means of interaction.” This definition is very simple.[unique_solution] For Widdowson, discourse is a communicative process manifested through interaction. The definition can…

The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, and War Stories The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, and War Stories are compelling articles with vivid descriptions of the author’s depiction of their thoughts and others. In the Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, McClure has expertly described how features of both created an image that the common man could resonate with. Bezalel, in his article, War Stories, was more descriptive with his narration with direct extracts from the story supporting his arguments. The writers are very intense with their imageries and are not afraid to express their point of view. Where McClure is more intense with her analogies, Bazelel takes a more relaxed approach which emphasizes on his point of view. His style is more tranquil and expressing his reflection in a manner that that mirrors that he is confident about his understanding and could very well be wrong but believes in what he has to say- whether someone agrees with his point of view or not. The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother is a more research-based where the author, besides her considerations,…
How to Define the Main Idea The main idea of a paragraph is the primary point or concept that the author wants to communicate to the readers about the topic. Hence, in a paragraph, when the main idea is stated directly, it is expressed in what is called the topic sentence. It gives the overarching idea of what the paragraph is about and is supported by the details in subsequent sentences in the paragraph. In a multi-paragraph article, the main idea is expressed in the thesis statement, which is then supported by individual smaller points. Think of the main idea as a brief but all-encompassing summary. It covers everything the paragraph talks about in a general way, but does not include the specifics. Those details will come in later sentences or paragraphs and add nuance and context; the main idea will need those details to support its argument. For example, imagine a paper discussing the causes of World War I. One paragraph might be dedicated to the role that imperialism played in the conflict. [unique_solution]The main idea of this paragraph…
