However, there is also another part called Ego that works contrary to what the Id does. So it is completely up to the individual whether which one defeats the other. If the Id wins, then one will be more likely to regret what he or she has done afterwards; whereas if the Ego wins, then one will be more likely to do the right thing. Thus, we must think carefully and consider all the consequences before we do anything because only we are responsible for our own
Keeping my emotions in check will help me to think clearly and guide constructive communication; trying to dominate the resolution process will only frustrate the opposition. I will constructively listen to the thoughts and ideas of others and consider them honestly instead of trying to have my own way all of the time. My goal is to defeat my attitude of being a perfectionist. The key is being able to allow myself to make and except the mistakes of others. I do not have to be the best at everything.
Some of the ways I can stay in charge in these situations are just to avoid the situation all together, have a group of friends that have the same beliefs about drug use as I do, make fun of the situation and give them reasons why I would never choose to do drugs and most important I think is to always say “NO”. I think with all these techniques I have learned and practiced I with be successful in peer pressure
I try to avoid conflicts and protect the least advantaged without creating unnecessary hassles for the rest. One of my weaknesses is that I trust reasonable systems to solve most problems. Because of that I run the risk to be considered authoritarian and assuming that my way is best, which is not at all my intention. At some point I could become isolated because not everyone can guarantee equality. My obsession with justice could drive those I care about most away from me.
Life is unpredictable so don’t try to change it. You cannot reach your goal without learning from your mistakes. Believe in yourself so others can believe in you! As we adapted and belonged, the school didn’t seem to be a place only to be educated but also a place to forget our problems and to enjoy the company of others. The teachers, whom we cannot pick favourites, were very much like friends.
In order to have a friendship that works or is healthy you have to argue sometimes to better understand the other person. This includes taking the time to see the full picture from time to time and actually setting yourself and your feelings aside for someone else. For example, if a friend told me he was having trouble concentrating on his studies and I just told him everything he was doing wrong that wouldn’t benefit him at all. However, if instead of throwing all my advice on him I just listen and ask questions I could see the complete picture and understand what the problem could be I could offer some help. This gives him confidence and allows him to be able to work on the problem without feeling ashamed.
The more effective way to handle this in my opinion would be to ask Brigit to demonstrate how to complete the test and show her what she is doing incorrectly. I think Pamela should educate her and they could retest the students together. I understand it can be challenging to use assertive communication because it is a risk. The outcome can be unexpectedly negative. I think this might be why some people communicate passively because they have had a negative experience with this, and maybe it made things negative for them or changed things into a horrible situation.
For example, the author uses sarcasm to point out the lack of support for students when he quotes, “Our public high schools place too much focus on preparing kids for professional careers.” The author later criticizes the unorganized approach teachers take towards the discipline and teaching of students when he quotes, ‘"Educators do a lot to ensure that the most hopeless students slip through the cracks... Arbitrary rules, irregularly enforced discipline, and pointless paperwork are just the first things that come to mind. "’ 2. What rhetorical strategies does the writer use to achieve this satire? List them, and explain how each is used.
The not so great this about this is that even if your intentions are good you tend to forget that not everyone thinks like you and is clear on their own sense of values. Believing that you are doing the right thing justifies on what other people’s opinions are. My strengths and weaknesses are that I can not help but to feel damaged whenever I see something going on around me that I can not naturally fix myself. However, a strength is that I look at it as a challenge and make my best effort to over come that challenge and help others even if others do not agree with my process in doing
I do it carefully and seek answers and information first before doing anything, which also makes me inquisitive. As a student, I am also balanced. I always come to a point that I balance everything in school even though when it comes to studies, arts & crafts and social life. Being a thinker may be a possible weakness for me because I usually tend to overthink possibilities. Although I am already able to choose from choices, make decisions, and distinguish whether it’s good or bad.
