Self Fulfilling Prophecy Analysis

Wallace argues that actual thinking and education involves gaining a conscious awareness, often that those around us are in reality just as important as we are. So while people are more likely to attribute behavior to another’s personality, especially if it’s negative, this is far from accurate. This is a big piece to Gilbert’s model if people do not use controlled think or thinking that is effortful, conscious, and intentional (textbook, p.65) to see someone’s situational attribution they are misinterpreting information. This occurs automatically and even involuntary, which is why Wallace referred to it as a default setting. However, even if initially people are making attributions to someone’s internal state, they can change this way of thinking and recognize outside situations.

They say that labelling occurs through three distinct steps, being speculation, elaboration, stabilisation, which then allow teachers to interpret behaviour of the student in terms of label and may feel they know what makes the student ‘tick’. Teachers may find labelling useful to ‘pigeon hole’ types of students and form a sense of their class, however, labels are not always a good thing and can lead to serious consequences. Once a label is attached it can be ‘sticky’ and difficult to loose, as teachers screen out behaviour that does not match their expectations of that particular student, which intern may impact the experiences children have within the institutions such as, being allowed on school trips and assignation to lower exam tiers or sets. The a problem then arises where students then start to believe the label and internalise it as part of their identity, creating a self- fulfilling

Furthermore, the article “The Impact of Teachers’ expectations on Students’ Educational Opportunities in the Life Course: An Empirical Test of a Subjective Expected Utility Explanation” by Dominik Becker is about the self-fulfilling prophecy and how inequality is a concern for educational

My case focused on the mental health and illness of a high school teacher who was influencing adolescents by her inappropriate behaviour in the classroom. The article Mental Health in Schools: How Teachers Have the Power to Make a Difference discusses the role that teachers have in promoting mental health awareness and how a teacher can intervene to assist a student in need (Meldrum et al 3). The content of my case relates to this article by citing the importance of awareness, identification and intervention when someone is suffering from a mental illness, and how an individual can take a stand to assist in the recovery of a mental illness (Meldrum et al 4). Additionally, the case that I have analysed relates to the safety of the school community members. As discussed in the Parents’ Guide to the Ontario Code of Conduct, the standards of behaviour directly relate to the issue at hand in the Incapacity Case Study, as it is stated that “School community members must not: give alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age” which took place before the removal of the teacher from the classroom (2).

In Dudley Delvin’s “Plagiarism in America,” Delvin expresses his opinion about the growing plagiarism epidemic in America’s schools and presents a solution to correct the situation. The modern student body has begun to view plagiarism as a common practice since much of the information used is available instantaneously. Students often fail to see the issue of using another individual’s ideas as their own since the ideas are made public, allowing others to obtain the information. To solve the epidemic, Delvin proposes a solution that increases the surveillance of student work and incorporates zero tolerance policies that punish students for the use of plagiarism. Plagiarism has increased at rates proportionate to the advancements in technology.

A limitation of Deontology stems from the fact that it is so strict on how one should or should not act, but yet humans need clearly defined laws to serve as guides. Although laws are not followed one hundred percent of the time, the mere fact that there are laws telling us what is right or wrong result in a higher success of people acting morally good because there is a strict guide of how to act and how not to act. Yet Deontology provides a strong ethical framework that enables moral agents to act in such a way that is towards good will and ethically correct

One will not be easily manipulated by others because they stick to their morals and belief, it will also be easier because with motivation comes hard work. Hard work is attractive and thus people will be more inclined to go out of their way speak to you if they see that you are successful, especially people who too themselves are successful. When speaking to others, it is important to keep an open mind and avoid being ethnocentric. Someone who is ethnocentric is described as not being able to see where other people are coming from, they compare everyone else’s culture to their own and fail to accept the differences, thus they are blinded by diversity. But I digress, cultural intelligence is defined by the International Journal of Cross Cultural Management (2008) as “…a system of interacting knowledge and skills, linked by cultural metacognition, that allows people to adapt to, select, and shape the cultural aspects of their environment.”

Although the point of view is different, Mark Twain and I’s story shows the pressure that “society” puts on young people on how they act in comparison to the way they are supposed to. It provides room for some youths to become individuals that they are not which surfaces as a problem later in their life. It makes them drop the expectations of the society and rebel against who they have been crafted to be. Although Twain’s story does hold some truth to it, having a good and excellent character is a benefit for an individual, it gives them nothing to worry about and leaves their mind in peace. Sometimes the goal of many people might clash meaning they aspire to reach the same place.

This statement is based on an assumption that parents can distinguish the right from wrong. Therefore, they can teach children discipline through administering punishment and setting strict rules. Parents can only use corporal punishment as means of discipline but not a way to release anger. Moreover, the article assumes that children are obedient to their parents. If teenagers are rebellious, it will be very difficult to correct their behaviors by using physical punishment.

Some of these disabilities are invisible, while others are very noticeable. In either situation, said person with a disability should have a choice on the accommodations they receive and how they are treated or ‘handled.’ Different methods of communication may be needed; however, simply including the individual and asking if they’re interested in participating creates a more positive environment. Individuals with disabilities have worked just as hard, if not more, to get to the place they hold in school, work, or at a university. The most detrimental thing to anybody’s state of mind is to not be taken seriously or to be put at a lower priority because of a disability.

I think the exploited children would either not receive any praise or would receive unauthentic praise, because they people in charge of them don’t have the children’s best interest in mind. I think the trafficked children’s caregivers, wouldn’t do things to build a child’s self-esteem. I think they would do things to lower the child’s self-esteem, for a way of power of the children. I think the video gives a clear distinction of the unhealthy ways these trafficked children are

In my opinion, public educational curriculums and accountability guidelines should be established at the state and local levels where parents/guardians play an integral role in the decision making process. I do not believe standardized tests alone are an accurate measure of a student’s knowledge; their classwork, projects, and literary works also represent a student’s talent and capabilities. In agreement with Robert Schaeffer, a representative for the National Center for Fair & Open Testing, that federal mandated programs such as the No Child Left Behind and The Race to The Top high-stakes tests foster the temptation to cheat because they serve as means to both punish and reward students, teachers, and principals based solely upon test scores (Schaeffer,

Exactly, you would want your child to be saved as well. That 's one of the major flaws I see in utilitarianism. The rule of utilitarianism is that the decision that brings the most happiness should be made. I 'm not saying the disabled child wouldn 't bring any happiness, I 'm saying in this case the neighbor 's four kids would bring more happiness to society rather than the disabled one. The act of utilitarianism is a cruel system, but if one wants to incorporate into society then they should incorporate it completely rather than

Diane Ravitch describes this flaw by pointing that once scores are in control of staff and schools overall, “the measures become the goal of education, rather than an indicator” (para. 7). As she says this, she is evaluating what the true goal of education is versus what it becomes because of misuse of standardized testing. An example of this in real life is described by teachers being forced to pass students to retain their job even if the students are not prepared to continue on (Jesness 42). All throughout the article Jesness describes her personal experience of refusing this “floating standard” then going along with it. The author of “A Test Worth Teaching To” gives an example where a teacher rearranged teaching style and the classroom to solely focus on the students who were closest to being “proficient” (Headden A12).

whether students currently experience school as a community or not? And schools’ influence on students ' sense of community, Conceptually, the review reflects society’s cognitive perspective on motivation. During the theoretical framework, Osterman and Karenp put forward that individuals have psychological needs, that satisfaction of these needs will affect their behavior and perception. The research aims at how social organizations, address what is defined as a basic psychological need, the need to experience belongingness. The result show that students ' experience of acceptance will be influenced by multiple dimensions of behavior but that schools adopt organizational practices that neglect and may actually undermine students ' experience of membership in a supportive situation.
