Tripp (2011) proposes that reflection is a vital process of professional development. He highlights the need for practitioners to challenge their ideas and beliefs in order to change trends. Within this piece of writing, a critical incident from my beginning placement will be identified and critiqued using Tripp’s model of critical incident analyse. Tripp (1993) recommends that the process involved to analyse an incident is of great importance to influence a person’s understanding. Tripp (1993) also states that critical incidents are ‘not all dramatic or obvious- they are mostly straight forward accounts of very commonplace events’ (Tripp 1993:25).
It is essential to inform people of changes and why these changes are happening as when you are aware of why something is being altered you are much more likely to accept it. * Conflicting Roles; at times we may have to do tasks that are not normally in our job descriptions and this can often be seen as ‘treading on someone’s toes’ causing conflict and power struggles. To prevent this sort of conflict it needs to be explained to each individual why tasks have been given to other people to complete. Doing this
Discuss Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities. John Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities may not be as clear as he had intended. In fact, there are some features of his concept that I feel are not fully and clearly explained, or have flaws in them. I intend to discuss the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, and some of the flaws present in Locke’s concept. John Locke described an idea as whatever the immediate object of perception, thought or understanding is.
Doing this includes effort from both the one sending the message and the one receiving it. And it's a procedure that can be filled with error, with messages often misunderstood by the receiver. When this is not discovered, it can create enormous confusion, wasted attempt and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is only effective when both the one sending and the receiver understand the same information as an outcome of the communication. By effectively getting your message across, you communicate your thoughts and ideas successfully.

The cosmological argument rests on certain principles of causation. In particular that any existent thing must have a cause or reason for its existence (this is what Leibniz points to in his principle of sufficient reason), and that there cannot be more in the effect than there is in the cause. Hume challenges these assumptions in his Dialogues. There are three main categories of criticism that Hume makes of the argument. Firstly he has general concerns about the way it is structured, and believes that this structure is fallacious, secondly he has more specific concerns related to causation and finally he raises challenges to do with the concepts of contingency and necessity.
* What is the author saying about conflict in describing this incident? You must fight and create conflict in some instances for a change to occur * How does the authorial choices about language and structure help to convey particular views of conflict?

Discussion centers around defining the scope of the task, how to approach it, and similar concerns. To grow from this stage to the next, each member must relinquish the comfort of non-threatening topics and risk tile possibility of conflict. Stage 2: Storming The next stage, called Storming, is characterized by competition and conflict in the personal¬ relations dimension an organization in the task-functions dimension. As the group members attempt to organize for the task, conflict inevitably results in their personal relations. Individuals have to bend and mold their feelings, ideas, attitudes, and beliefs to suit the group organization.
"( Petty & Caccioppo, 1981). When the arguments used in a message are of importance (in terms of involvement and motivation toward the issue) to the message recipient, the expected attitudinal change will be greater than if the message is of little or no relevance to the receiver. If the receiver of the message is interested in the issue and has the ability to process the persuasive message, that person will follow the central route to attitudinal change. On the other hand, if the receiver is not motivated by the arguments of the message and/or does not posses the capacity to process the message, then he or she will follow the peripheral route to attitude change. -What is an attitude?
BARRIERS TO CRITICAL THINKING Opinionated Opinionated means expressing strong beliefs or judgments about something, having or showing strong opinions. I can be very opinionated about things that I feel strongly about. I often form my opinion and then I am not open to hearing other viewpoints. I feel that in critical thinking being open minded and willing to receive outside information is necessary. Listening to other opinions on a subject can broaden your thought process on the subject.
