Wall EDU697: Capstone: A Project Approach (MJJ1232A) Instructor: Dr. Deborah Moerland August 20, 2013 Critical Thinking Questions: Week Two Chapter Two: Making the Shift: Schools Meet Society’s Needs Recognizing that this might seem like cliché from the 70's; but all we really need is love. Actually if you take an open minded love for man-kind, mix it with a great understanding of humanity, add honesty, integrity and a pinch of belief.... that would be a great start! The trick would be getting the politicians and the leaders of this great country to follow the recipe. Then you must consider if this will make the biggest impact on our society?
After retiring from the military, I decided to pursue my education so I could open more doors for career opportunities.

Breyona Thornton B. Stubbs HUMD 0330-2019 14 September 2012 Journal Entry- Chapter 1 Step 3: Insight- Yes, I would respond differently because Darnell did not know what college was going to be like. He sees now that he has to step it up and focus more. Some possible outcomes for Darnell are that he has to pertain more to his learning than worrying and football if he wants pass. Step 4: Action- I learned that in order to become successful you have to think positively. I chose this because if you don’t have faith in yourself and think positive your outcome will be negative.
I know the degree per say is not a “magic formula”, but it does help when going for work to show the employer that you are a little more serious about the position and that you have that advantage over entry level . You can be more confident going in for that position and having the knowledge to understand what you are doing. I believe that I possess qualities that are unique to me such
This period can be a time of discovery and reflection into what type of adult one wants to become; in this I strongly agree with Zinsser. His position at the college lends to his credibility and allows him behind the scenes insight as to the pressures of college life. According to Zinsser several college Dean’s have noted the change in mindset of students from helping the world, to getting a leg up on their competition.2 I agree that restricting classes to only those applicable to a degree is a disservice to oneself because my experience doing just that and the tremendous stress of the work load confirmed it. The words of William Zinsser urged college students then and now to embrace this journey for what it is, stressful, ever changing, and savor the experience for what it can be, wonderful. Zinsser, William.
The rhetorical purpose of explaining the anticipated results before revealing the actual proposal is to persuade the readers to believe in his proposal by having a good outcome. Also, he wants to have been viewed as a positive character from his audience so that the audience doesn’t become upset when he states his proposal. 5. Swift doesn’t end paragraph 9 after “food” because then that would leave the audience to think about the statement he just made. He deflects the attention from the statement by listing different ways of preparation.
Murray and Ungar Synthesis In the many recent debates about how to approach higher education, one issue that has constantly appears is the question of students benefiting from a liberal arts based education. Some argue that a liberal arts education is helpful in teaching students the basic life skills, others claim that a more specific field of study is necessary in order to b successful in life. In Ungar’s essay “the New Liberal Arts”, he claims that with a liberal arts education, students can benefit tremendously when they receive their jobs. In Murray’s essay “Are Too Many People Going to College”, he proclaims that a liberal arts degree is not highly recommended because the more difficult careers want students to take classes that are more specific to a job. Sanford J. Ungar and Charles Murray both conduct and display their own opinion towards the facts they learned through their own strenuous research.
However, having someone that fits the organization’s culture and missions is also important for Tanglewood. Specific or General KSAOs: I think that Tanglewood should focus on the specific KSAOs because any organization would want to hire someone that can fit the job competencies with a vast knowledge of the job and the skills to perform effectively. Exceptional or Acceptable Workforce Quality: Tanglewood doesn’t really target temporary employees so exceptional workforce quality would work better for them. This would give them the opportunity to invest in their associates and make sure that they grow within the organization. Active or Passive Diversity: I would say that Tanglewood should look into active diversity because it meets the diverse needs of the customers.
