    Deborah Tannen explained, on many different occasions, how to give an indirect order to a superior from a subordinate. Deborah mentioned indirect orders or concerns from subordinates to superiors are often overlooked and not taken as hints or serious suggestions. Due to the fact some pilots do not take subtle hints of co-pilots for danger, many co-pilots have taken courses on how to tell their superior officer of the impending danger that will follow if the pilot keeps the-= aircraft’s current course. Tannan recommends being more assertive and conscientious when giving indirect orders from a superior to subordinate or vise versa, as well as making sure direct orders will not cause the subordinate to feel inferior.

    My thoughts about Brenda Dyck article are of appreciation for all the wonderful suggestions she proposes to unfold children’s talents. I believe that with these two ways to evaluate, the Multiple Intelligence survey, and the Learning-Style Preference Questionnaire, children will build self-esteem and motivation to do better at school and in life. Students will understand that everyone is different and we all need to be more respectful and less judgmental of each other. More valuable as an evaluation is that teachers may capture a solution to a behavioral issue that will benefit the class atmosphere. Brenda Dyck promotes compassion towards all the children, without looking at the disability itself, but at the child abilities.

The article is about the importance of minorities, particularly Hispanics, adopting some American customs, beginning with speaking English.

    Summary According to Deborah Tannen, agonism refers to ritualized opposition, a situation when a party in a debate wins rather than an argument that comes up when two parties disagree. She claims that the academic world is very agonistic. We tend to think that intellectual inquiry is a metamorphic battle and to show our skills is to criticize, find fault and attack and foster this in students. Students are often taught to criticize and find the weakest point from one’s work to support their view while ignoring the strength and other important facts of the paper that would support other’s viewpoint.

    According to an author for the American Psychological Association, Kirsten Weir, stress impacts the production of hormones and the functioning of the immune system (Weir). A recent study conducted by Emory University School of Medicine found that the inflammatory immune response, impacted by stress, “has also been linked to a variety of bodily ills, from diabetes and heart disease to depression” (Weir). Margot Putukian, a member of the NCAA Education Outreach, has noticed the impacts of stress on student-athletes and believes the primary concerns, regarding the prevalence of mental illness within the population of student-athletes, are the effects mental illness brings to their success in academics, athletics, and their general well-being (Putukian). Balancing the demands of being an athlete and a student places a large amount of pressure on the individual. This balancing act leads to many health issues affecting student athletes across many components of their life
