Power Of Perspective Analysis
I love expressing my thoughts with a pen and a sheet of paper, but something that has taught me about the power of perspective is editing other people's writing. Each and every piece that is submitted for our School Magazine or Newsletter reveals so much about the author's perspective of the world. Some of the articles are informative, some moving, some revealing, some unconventional and some creative. In fact, all the articles submitted for our magazine and newsletter have a distinctive voice that I call "personality". The personality is the first thing that has grabbed my attention when I start reading the introduction and by the time I am done with the conclusion, the voice would have left me fresh and wiser. Regardless of its nature, every

    Outside The Lens Analysis

    Communication is a fundamental part of working in a professional environment. Without proper communication, nothing will get done. Outside the Lens is a very collaborative and communicative company as is the work the students the students do at Muirlands, so I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to have good communication and understanding. It’s also important to self-advocate for yourself otherwise you won’t accomplish anything you want. My mentor has always left room for self-advocacy by telling me to let him know if there was anything specific I wanted to learn, or focus on. I’ve felt confident enough to speak up whenever there’s something I want and that’s helped me out while working on my project. While editing I decided I needed more…

    Agentic Perspective Analysis

    In addition to ways that we may treat the elderly, we should also look at how the elderly may feel from an agentic perspective. When we talk about having an agentic perspective the name Albert Bandura comes to mind. Albert Bandura socio-cognitive view on personality is said to come from an agentic perspective. Having an agentic perspective means that humans are not just products of their environment but that they are also agents. Bandura believed that human conduct affects and is affected by the environment that surrounds them.…

    Identifying Perspectives in Psychology

    Assignment 1.1.8 Part: 1 Case Study #1: In neurobiological perspective of psychology, biologists like, Weber and van Helmholtz believe that the endocrine or nervous system is related to behavior. Mrs. B is feeling depressed because something is affecting her nervous system. Her body isn’t producing enough serotonin to control her moods and emotions. A humanistic perspective focuses on the positive outlooks of being human. It emphasizes on the importance of people’s feelings. Like how Carl Rogers came up with the “self-centered” therapy, which mainly focused on understanding one’s feelings. It seems Mrs. B was very close to her father and her son, with her father’s death this could have made her feel lonely since a main source of love and comfort is gone. Her father’s death could have made her feel insecure about life and given her a low self-esteem. Psychodynamic perspective emphasizes unconscious mind and early adolescent experiences. Mrs. B dropped everything when her father past away because she never resolved her phallic stage, Sigmund Freud’s third stage on psychosexual development. In other words, it seems she had an identity through him rather than her own accord. Furthermore, with her child gone, it could implied that she probably spent a lot of time on her own as a child which may have triggered the sudden actions she has taken in her life. Behavioral perspective is the idea that behavior comes from learning. Like how Ivan Pavlov trained dogs to salivate in a response to the sound of a tone. Mrs. B doesn’t have control of her emotions. Rather than trying to deal with them, she dwells upon her issues without trying to resolve them. It seems that her self-esteem lowered when her father and child gone. Since she has never experienced this before, she feels overwhelmed and lonely. Cognitive approach focuses on the importance of storing and receiving information and one’s way of thinking and reasoning.…

    Functionalist Perspective Analysis

    The functionalist perspective addresses the functions of society, both the function and the dysfunction prevalent in America. The AIDS epidemic, however, acts as a dysfunction. In the same relationship that the upper class require a lower class to maintain their social status, so does the functioning of a society need dysfunction to maintain its current role in American culture. This apparent inequality and large disparity with AIDS prevalence in low income, homosexual communities, and minority groups, reflects the latent function of the American social institution. This latent role which the AIDS epidemic plays on society is the unconscious and unintended protagonist with a hidden agenda. This functionalist theory stirs increased conflict…

    While it is important to include factual information of the writer's proposed idea, it is equally important to establish a voice within the piece. Each article of information that comes from a professional standpoint can be a stepping stone towards the finished product of the writer's work. Weaving an authoritative voice simultaneously strengthens the paper as well as the validity of the writer's work.…

    My Writing Style Analysis

    The Nature of a person's writing style can sometimes show more about an individual then the words they actually write, the poetic twists in sentence flow or the professional structure of their grammar. Writing styles are as unique as fingerprints and to define them can be as arduous as mastering the skills required to properly form one. In the quest to define my own style I discovered a detail that I have determined encapsulates the style with which I write; I write with passion. When I say I am a passionate writer I don't mean that I love to write but more that my level of personal affection toward the subject I am writing on directly affects the emotional nature I write in. In other words, I write more expressively and artistically the…

    Freewriting: Writing and Elbow

    Peter Elbow, author of the article “Freewriting” argues that using the technique freewriting is very beneficial for writers. Freewriting is nonstop writing without correcting or checking what you’ve already written. Elbow says writers should use this exercise at least three times a week to improve their writing skills. I strongly agree with his assessment from personal use of this technique. While writing my first freewrite I realized I was less stressed, I felt like the paper displayed my character more, and I was able to share all of my ideas without losing them. We are so caught up in trying to sound educated and proper in our writings it sometimes can take away from the actual piece.…

    Humanistic Perspective Analysis

    Humanistic Perspective Analysis

    The humanistic perspective is the perspective in psychology that I believe explains human behavior most accurately. The humanistic approach, largely founded by Carl Rogers, focuses on “the motivation of people to grow psychologically, the influence of interpersonal relationships on a person’s self-concept, and the importance of choice and self-direction in striving to reach one's potential (Hockenbury).” Humanism studies a person as a unique entity, viewing their behaviour, not only through a scientific viewpoint, but also that of the one being observed in natural setting. Humanism gives power to an the individual in search of an optimistic and self motivating psychology that requires hard work and self reflection to meet maxim potential. The…

    My Reflection As A Writer

    With revision, I was able to see clearly how I could improve in my writing as a student, and a personal individual. Connecting with the “Critical Reading” and “Critical Thinking” section of Susan Anker’s book, Real Essays Interactive, it guided me in different paths on how to approach my paper when it came to responding to various authors. For example, by paying close attention to the author’s words they wanted to convey to their audience, I found myself thinking about approaching my papers in different perspectives from what I used to write in. Before, I was solely taught to write in someone else’s view, not my own as it could’ve been too biased when analyzing an author’s work. Yet, reading deeper into the “Critical Reading” section, states, “asking yourself questions about the author’s purpose… you should consider whether you agree or disagree with the points being made.” Reading this along, felt like a reassurance as it was okay to place personal input and not solely writing in different viewpoints other than my own. Furthermore, reading other student’s personal thoughts being included into their work acted as a support when it came to acknowledging that it was alright to put in personal thoughts, and again, improved my writing a lot. It gave a sensation of being in the same place of other fellow classmates, and in some sense of supporting each other as we responded to each other’s…
