Reflection Paper On Aa Meeting

A memorable part was towards the end was when the group individually introduced themselves. One of the men who attended admitted that when he

comfort in position for authority to lead; and the ability to tune in to others feelings, reactions, moods, and words” (Jacobs, E. E., Masson, R. L., Harvill, R. L., & Schimmel, C. J., 2016, p. 25). The natural leadership of the AA group session I attend was also great tone of voice and keeping the group members attentive throughout the session. The group members were very comfortable with the group members, the leaders were like by the group members, and the leader never used his mislead his authority toward the group

It seemed like a fun place to be while also being helpful in maintaining sobriety. I think one of the most influential things I learned from the meetings is that everybody can struggle from addictions and you would never know it. There are people from all different walks of life that have an addiction problem. Someone can have everything in their life and still be unhappy and turn to their addictions or they can struggle and have those addictions. I learned that it is a constant struggle for people.

When the justice for Mr King was not given rightfully, the people from the streets who went through alike problems hear about it, they immediately want change. From gang members who initiated the truce that helped decrease street violence, to the average high school student being active in protest around the city, the riots were portrayed heavily by the people affected by the beating. At these times, around the clock news and live television coverage followed but also in Ice Cube’s “The Predator” and Rodney King 's speech to the city of Los Angeles. Rodney King, intoxicated, speeding down the interstate had ignored all police sirens and warnings. He led the California Highway Patrol on a eight mile chase down freeways and city streets.

1. Being well known and respected is hard to come by today, with the quick judgments individuals make. Judge Dorn and Judge Ciavarella seemed to have an exception and were liked by many people. They were seen as hero’s to some, always correcting behavior and following a strict line. The public really liked the way they ran the system, always speaking publically to ensure safety and ease for kids who are lost.

It won't be your Facebook friends who help you turn it round. It'll be your flesh and blood friends who you have deep and nuanced and textured, face-to-face relationships with…” when Hari says this, he gets the audience to trust him, because he understands that certain people will be there for you, when you need it most. He also uses ethos when he says “It looked at the number of close friends the average American believes they can call on in a crisis. That number has been declining steadily since the 1950s.” the audience trusts what he is saying.

I decided to go to DMACC’s transfer fair for my activity. I plan on transferring to a four-year college after graduation from DMACC and wanted to look at different schools that I could go to. The transfer fair was in building 1 on the Ankeny campus. Not only was half of the main area filled up, but so was the hallway adjacent to it. There were tons of schools I had never heard of before.

I think this week had a very big toll on people’s lives and that it really sent in a warning to some people about how bad being involved in sexual behavior can be. I think this has helped me actually realize the consequences and allow myself to feel even strong about relationships with others then I did before this week. I just want to say thank you for allowing her to come to talk to us because I know not just myself but the others really enjoyed it and I think she really opened up certain people’s minds about relationships with

The Hippocratic Oath is one of the oldest binding documents in history. It has been revised and renewed many different times. The classical version has newly medical graduates swear to gods and goddesses. It states that dietetic measures will be given to the sick and a knife will never be used. That sick houses will be visited and deathly drugs, including abortions, will not be given to anyone.

I chose this particular group because it was an open meeting and they welcomed anyone. The man running the group, was a member himself, and was very welcoming. The meeting started with the AA promise and 12 steps, which I believe they start every meeting with. There was not one specific topic focused

Ryan was able to obtain the pills by lying about his age through a questionnaire. After learning that her son was able to get such medication through the internet Francine Haight immediately contacted the DEA. While researching she noticed that there was numerous of internet pharmacies that were selling

Another tool that I thought was helpful to me during my assignments was the synthesis matrix. The synthesis matrix is my favorite tool and I will continue to use this throughout the rest of my courses. It made comparing, contrasting, and combining different sources at one time very easy. It gave me a head start on the literature review and it made it come together more easily. It also made my major assignment, the research prospectus to seem less stressful than the actual literature review

One example of an interest group is AARP. AARP is a United States interest group with membership. It was founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, Ph.D. And Leonard Davis. AARP has vast membership so it is able to generate its own income without being dependent on government grants or private donors. I read on Tuesday night on Facebook how disappointed they were in the Senate 's vote to proceed on the new healthcare bill and how they would inform 38 million members how their Senators voted so they could hold them accountable.

Although, someone who’s in denial won’t recognize they have a problem, also if there is someone enabling their addiction. And well, AA meeting keys to success would be the meeting are run in a social supporting setting that allows individuals to support each other’s efforts towards sobriety. And those members gains confident that they can maintain abstinence through any challenging social situations. At the end of my experience at an Alcohol Anonymous meeting, the information presented in class and the chapter 9 in the ‘‘Drug, Behavior, and Modern society’’ book didn’t drift off too far. The philosophy of AA stayed true to their famous twelve

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a group of individuals from all walks of life, who come together with the hope of abstaining from alcohol abuse. The main goal of this support group is to abstain from alcohol, and to achieve control of their lives without drinking. According to Stuart, “Alcoholic anonymous (AA) The most common type of self-help group for substance abusers is the 12-step group.” (Stuart, p. 467, 2013) One of the important functions of these groups is to let the individual know that they are not alone in this predicament and that “mutual support can give them the strength to abstain” (Stuart, p. 467, 2013). Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has a model is based on the 12 steps tradition.
