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. The co-pilot tried to warn
Donna Hamilton a criminologist says poor correctional facilities and constant police harassment are major causes of persistent criminality in the region. Speaking to this writer, Hamilton says little has been done by the central and county government to improve on state of correctional facilities which instead of producing reformed criminals, it rears hard-core criminals. “I expect to be guided, I am mentally ill and I need mental healing to improve on my behavior, if I am taken through torture and harassment that will only make me more aggressive.” he says. “The society has a negative attitude with the police which was built in the past.
Ph.D. Charlotte Witvliet at Hope College, along with her colleagues, hooked up seventy-one student participants (36 female & 35 male) to monitors in order to examine the physiological and emotional effects of imagining hurtful memories and harboring a grudge as opposed to exhibiting forgiveness to personal offenders. Each student participant was asked to complete a two-part test. First they were asked to imagine a particular person that they assigned blame to for either offending or hurting them, followed by a questionnaire about the nature of the offense and response to it. Then each student participant was asked to actively imagine either forgiving or not forgiving (the independent variables) the perpetrator.
Things begin to get harder in Kilanga because they are not getting money from the mission league and they have lost Mama Tataba due to their father going crazy. In the middle of the book, readers see an uncaring side of Nathan when Orleanna and Ruth May lay in bed all day. Instead of being a loving and caring husband and wanting to help them when they’re down, he does not care whether they are dying or not. Nathan yells at Orleanna for not getting out of bed and says that “she would heed God’s call soon enough, and get herself up and around.” (page 217)
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.
Stephanie Cox is not a stranger to pulling readers into her point of view and actually trying to have them sympathize for the subject at hand. The article is about the importance of minorities, particularly Hispanics, adopting some American customs, beginning with speaking English. Starting the article off by putting a child’s life in the mix gets the attention of everyone. Let 's say you were a Hispanic parent who moved to America for whatever reason but refused to take classes to learn the English language because you “were born Mexican, is Mexican today, and will forever be a Mexican.” Now, your child goes missing.

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
