    1. Define the difference between a job and a career.

      A job is short-term work mainly for income, while a career is long-term, goal-driven work that builds skills and growth in a chosen field.

    2. Visit O*Net (http://online.onetcenter.org/find) and look up one of the careers you may be considering. What kinds of things does O*Net tell you about a career?

      O*Net explains the duties that are given when you become a medical assistant

    3. Identify the primary types of work and which you are best suited for

      I think a social because I love being around others as well as helping other people

    4. Define the difference between a job and a career.

      A job is temporary, need no experience, and anyone can work there

    1. I took the one less traveled

      He chose the less traveled road meaning, this is a hard choice that not many people take in life; a path more risky and challenging yet, one that the writer chose to take. It is a choice that is not influenced by anyone else but, a choice made on your own. In other words, he is showing individualism in his choice.

    2. Yet knowing how way leads to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

      He doubted the path he chose because he knows there is no turning back that this path he is on will lead to more and more, a series of events.

    3. In leaves no step had trodden black

      The writer is giving us visuals. We can picture that both paths are covered in leaves and this also can confirm that the yellow wood does indicate the season of fall because in fall, the leaves fall off of the trees.

    1. International business professor Pankaj Ghemawat takes strong issue with the view that the world is flat and instead espouses a world he characterizes as “semiglobalized” and “multidomestic.” If the world were flat, international business and global strategy would be easy. According to Ghemawat, it would be domestic strategy applied to a bigger market. In the semiglobalized world, however, global strategy begins with noticing national differences.Pankaj Ghemawat, “Distance Still Matters,” Harvard Business Review 79, no. 8 (2001): 137–47.

      Mutidomestic means that we have access to to people culutre like sushi,mexican, and other foods We listen to the same music, shop like Kpop

    2. The flat-world view is largely credited to Thomas Friedman and his 2005 best seller, The World Is Flat. Although the next section provides you with an alternative way of thinking about the world (a multidomestic view), it is nonetheless important to understand the flat-world perspective. Friedman covers the world for the New York Times, and his access to important local authorities, corporate executives, local Times bureaus and researchers, the Internet, and a voice recorder enabled him to compile a huge amount of information.
      • Flat World Theory saying that the world is more accesible with call, zoom, email
      • employees can work every whwer
      • tranporatation
    1. re you confident you will be able to overcome any possible difficulties in completing college? ________________________________________________________

      Not at all, but I'll try my best

    2. Life in college usually differs in many ways from one’s previous life in high school or in the workforce. What are the biggest changes you are experiencing now or anticipate experiencing this term?

      Not having enough time for my personal life anymore.

    3. Most college graduates later look back on their college years as one of the best times in their lives. /*<![CDATA[*/#mt-toc-container {display: none !important;}/*]]>*//*<![CDATA[*/ $(function() { if(!window['autoDefinitionList']){ window['autoDefinitionList'] = true; $('dl').find('dt').on('click', function() { $(this).next().toggle('350'); }); } });/*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { $('iframe').on('load', function () { $(this).iFrameResize({ warningTimeout: 0, scrolling: 'omit' }); }) })/*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/ var front = "auto"; if(front=="auto"){ front = "1.1: Who Are You, Really?"; if(front.includes(":")){ front = front.split(":")[0]; if(front.includes(".")){ front = front.split("."); front = front.map((int)=>int.includes("0")?parseInt(int,10):int).join("."); } front+="."; } else { front = ""; } } front = front.replace(/_/g," "); MathJaxConfig = { TeX: { equationNumbers: { autoNumber: "all", formatNumber: function (n) { if(false){ return front + (Number(n)+false); } else{return front + n; } } }, macros: { PageIndex: ["{"+front+" #1}",1], test: ["{"+front+" #1}",1] }, Macros: { PageIndex: ["{"+front+" #1}",1], test: ["{"+front+" #1}",1] }, SVG: { linebreaks: { automatic: true } } } }; MathJax.Hub.Config(MathJaxConfig); MathJax.Hub.Register.StartupHook("End", ()=>{if(activateBeeLine)activateBeeLine()}); /*]]>*/

    1. People who estimate too high often feel they don’t have enough time. They may have time anxiety and often feel frustrated

      so, basically the. people who assume and possibly excuse that they never have time??

    1. The mean is the point on which a distribution would balance, the median is the value that minimizes the sum of absolute deviations, and the mean is the value that minimizes the sum of the squared deviations.

      A definition that is key. A mean is about balance. Median is making it mini.

    1. Police officers used militarized tactics on strikers, including directly assaulting students.

      That is so wrong for police officers to do to the students when they are just trying to protest peacefully.

    1. The ion-ion interaction energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the ions (1/r), while the ion-dipole energy is inversely proportional to the square (1/r2). So doubling the distance decreases the first by a factor of 2, and the later by a factor of 4 (and tripling the distance decreases the first by a factor of 3, and the later by a factor of 9). So ion dipole interactions are much shorter ranged.

      In principle I understand but I don't understand how the equation explains the message it's trying to convey @rebelford

    1. opulation size

      Why do scientists use things like footprints or droppings to guess how many animals are around, even though those clues might not be as accurate as just counting or using cameras?

    1. it was not considered a social problem. When the contemporary women’s movement began in the late 1970s, it soon focused on rape and sexual assault as serious crimes and as manifestations of women’s inequality. Thanks to this focus, rape and sexual assault eventually entered the public consciousness, views of these crimes began to change, and legal policymakers began to give them more attention. In short, sexual violence against women became a social problem.

      So for an already know issue to be considered a social problem there must be attention from policymakers based on public protest? Is that how it would work?

    2. subjective component of the definition of social problems: There must be a perception that a condition or behavior needs to be addressed for it to be considered a social problem. This component lies at the heart of the social constructionist view of social problems (Rubington & Weinberg, 2010). In this view, many types of negative conditions and behaviors exist. Many of these are considered sufficiently negative to acquire the status of a social problem; some do not receive this consideration and thus do not become a social problem; and some become considered a social problem only if citizens, policymakers, or other parties call attention to the condition or behavior.

      Social problems only get attention when enough public outrage or protest is brought to light about the injustice.

    3. objective component is this: For any condition or behavior to be considered a social problem, it must have negative consequences for large numbers of people, as each chapter of this book discusses.

      Based on the definition could this be anything that has a large number of consequences of any topics?

    4. A social problem is any condition or behavior that has negative consequences for large numbers of people and that is generally recognized as a condition or behavior that needs to be addressed.

      An example of this as stated in the Mills article assignment just below this is mass shooting and gun violence control. Society acknowledges the problems with mass shooting but little speak of the preventative measures that we need

    1. how good or bad that thing is. They are rating it, trying to get us to share her assessment of its value.

      Claims of value is a type of claim that evaluates the value of something, or make a comparison to other subjects. Due to the nature of claims of value, claims of value are easier to spot than others.

    2. Sometimes writers want us to share their vision of reality on a particular subject. They may want to paint a picture of how something happened, describe a trend, or convince us that something is bad or good.

      Claims of fact is a type of claim that does not encourage the readers to take action, instead sharing their idea of reality on a subject, which means that the author shares these ideas as fact. This may make claims of fact harder to spot than other claims.

    3. The most familiar kind of argument demands action.

      Claims of policy encourages the audience to take action. Also, claims of policy can take the form of a direct statement. However, these actions do not have to be grand gestures, as the author can suggest their audience to discuss, research, and write on the topic.

    1. Figure 12.7 Table of Fixed Price Contracts and Characteristics Type Known Scope Share of Risk Incentive for Meeting Milestones Predictability of Cost Fixed Total Cost Very High All Contractor Low> Very High Fixed Unit Price High Mostly Project Low High Fixed price with Incentive Fee High Mostly Project High Medium-high Fixed Fee with Price Adjustment High Mostly Project Low Medium

      The Low > is unclear

    1. Introduction The Regulation.  This section describes the structure of the Regulation that is divided into a "Recitals" section that provides context and an "Articles" section that itemizes the specific rules. After itemizing each category of Articles and then Articles comprising that category, the next section extracts the specifics of several salient Articles that are key to a compliance implementation. Implementing GDPR Compliance.  This section discusses what an organization might consider in assessing what it needs to do to attain GDPR compliance. Project Management Considerations: This section looks at GDPR from the frame of reference of a project manager that has responsibility for running the GDPR compliance project. Legal Considerations.  This section provides analysis from a legal frame of reference and looks at penalties that some organizations have incurred due to non-compliance. Glossary.  The Glossary defines salient terms.

      Maybe bolding the relevant parts of the bullets could work here.

    1. A drug is a chemical agent which can affect living processes.

      This sentence feels like it can come later on in the paragraph. It feel like its dangling rather than integrated into the flow.

    1. A question is often asked as to whether a project manager can be successful if he or she is unfamiliar with the technology, technical vocabulary, and technical processes associated with the project.

      Consider making this more active rather passive.

    2. This includes Phase 0 exit (Concept), Phase 1 exit (Specifications; Project plan: schedule, budget, resources), and Phase 4 exit (readiness to ship to customers).

      Consider a table structure to organize how the phases are viewable.

    1. Organisms that exhibit Type I survivorship curves have the highest probability of surviving every age interval until old age

      So I know that some species of shark or other life can survive for hundreds of years. This may be a little off topic but how can they do this and would this not affect the curve of this drastically for the animals that do survive for possible centuries

    1. The slow thinking skills that college cultivates also help us as professionals in fields beyond the academy

      Besides achieving the goal in our academics, it also helps in another way in our lives. The more we think deeply about issues, the more accurate decisions we make.

    2. people tend to make decisions quickly and base them heavily on emotion

      Really agree, you know, emotion is the hardest thing we can control. It takes time to learn and consider the consequences to decide what we should do in difficult situations, such as when we are angry or shocked. That's why adults often have better recommendations based on their experiences and wisdom!

    1. For instance, social psychologists have found that we are attracted to others who are similar to us in terms of attitudes and interests (Byrne, 1969), that we develop our own beliefs and attitudes by comparing our opinions to those of others (Festinger, 1954), and that we frequently change our beliefs and behaviors to be similar to those of the people we care about—a process known as conformity.

      Oh

    2. experience. For instance, when a boy turns to a girl on a date and says, “You are so beautiful,” a behaviorist would probably see that as a reinforcing (positive) stimulus. And yet the girl might not be so easily fooled. She might try to understand why the boy is making this particular statement at this particular time and wonder if he might be attempting to influence her through the comment.

      This is a great example.

    3. The idea that our memory is influenced by what we already know was also a major idea behind the cognitive-developmental stage model of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896–1980).

      Sounds about right.

    4. For example, it has been argued that the emotion of jealousy has survived over time in men because men who experience jealousy are more fit than men who do not. According to this idea, the experience of jealously leads men to be more likely to protect their mates and guard against rivals, which increases their reproductive success (Buss, 2000).

      Lmao wtf

    5. Fitness refers to the extent to which having a given characteristic helps the individual organism survive and reproduce at a higher rate than do other members of the species who do not have the characteristic.

      What

    6. Thus the structuralists were the first to realize the importance of unconscious processes—that many important aspects of human psychology occur outside our conscious awareness, and that psychologists cannot expect research participants to be able to accurately report on all of their experiences.

      This is actually so interesting

    7. An important aspect of the structuralist approach was that it was rigorous and scientific. The research marked the beginning of psychology as a science, because it demonstrated that mental events could be quantified.

      When psychology went from philosophical to a scientific study.

    8. Titchener was a student of Wundt who came to the United States in the late 1800s and founded a laboratory at Cornell University. In his research using introspection, Titchener and his students claimed to have identified more than 40,000 sensations, including those relating to vision, hearing, and taste.

      WOW

    9. These studies marked the first time researchers realized that there is a difference between the sensation of a stimulus and the perception of that stimulus, and the idea of using reaction times to study mental events has now become a mainstay of cognitive psychology.

      So interesting

    10. For instance, our judgment may be affected by our desires to gain material wealth and to see ourselves positively and by emotional responses to the events that happen to us.

      True

    11. There has also been an increasing influx of women into the field. Although most early psychologists were men, now most psychologists, including the presidents of the most important psychological organizations, are women.

      Ayeeeyuhhh

    1. will be said, an outline includes the main content. Therefore you shouldn’t include every word you’re going to say on your outline. This allows you more freedom as a speaker to adapt to your audience during your speech.

      This is very important and I've always thought about this method. In my sophomore speech class my teacher spoke about this and it has stuck with me ever since. If you have too much of a script, you'll sound very robotic and not be able to have a lot of freedom with what it is you're talking about. I know when I have too much written down on my notecards I tend to lean on them too much and not allow myself to have any freedom on my speech.

    1. One of the key elements of academic and professional public speaking is verbally citing your supporting materials so your audience can evaluate your credibility and the credibility of your sources.

      Having evidence in anything to back you up will always be beneficial. If you have credible evidence backing you up, you can't technically be wrong. I know in my English class last year my teacher always repeated how important evidence is because it meant he could never really be that wrong. So now whenever I make an argument I always try to have an advantage by having some credibility.

    1. debate content. While this is an important contribution to society, Wikipedia is not considered a scholarly or credible source.

      A lot of people in my classes growing up would try and use wikipedia and get told off, so I think this is important. Wikipedia is not that credible since anyone can update the information in it. I still often times find myself on a wikipedia and then I have to leave the website to find something more credible.

    1. Audience analysis is key for a speaker to achieve his or her speech goal. One of the first questions you should ask yourself is “Who is my audience?” While there are some generalizations you can make about an audience, a competent speaker always assumes there is a diversity of opinion and background among his or her listeners. You can’t assume from looking that everyone in your audience is the same age, race, sexual orientation, religion, or many other factors. Even if you did have a fairly homogenous audience, with only one or two people who don’t match up, you should still consider those one or two people

      I think this writes about a very important perspective of communication. In order to effectively get your message across to everyone, you have to be able to be diverse and be able to appeal to everyone. I have been to speeches where others will speak about a specific topic and I feel excluded, and so their message doesn't quite get across to me.

    1. Development is multidirectional. We show gains in some areas of development while showing loss in other areas

      Is this more relative to trauma or relates to all children regardless of what they experienced in their early years? I never knew of this term nor of losing knowledge while also learning.

    2. fine motor skills

      fine motor skills is one of my favorite things to think about when I do lesson plans for my preschoolers . I feel like a lot of parents overlook what it means and how important it is.

    3. Development is multicontextual.2 We are influenced by both nature (genetics) and nurture (the environment) - when and where we live and our actions, beliefs, and values are a response to circumstances surrounding us. The key here is to understand that behaviors, motivations, emotions, and choices are all part of a bigger picture.3

      This is a perfect way to word exactly how I view Nature vs nurture both are equally as important and impactful when it comes to shaping a person especially in early childhood.

    4. Development is characterized by plasticity, which is our ability to change and that many of our characteristics are malleable. Early experiences are important, but children are remarkably resilient (able to overcome adversity).

      This actually gives me so much reassurance as a mom because lots of times I lost patience and get frustrated with my daughter and I feel like i'm damaging her just by yelling or taking away something.

    1. ow much do you play a role in your own developmental path? Are you at the whim of your genetic inheritance or the environment that surrounds you? Some theorists see humans as playing a much more active role in their own development. Piaget, for instance, believed that children actively explore their world and construct new ways of thinking to explain the things they experience. In contrast, many behaviorists view humans as being more passive in the developmental process.11

      I don't know how I feel about this text. Yes I think we ourselves learn and play a role in our own development but I don't really see it being so as impactful as the role that others play such as our parents, siblings family members, teachers , caregivers, environment etc.

    2. Thus, stage theorists assume development is more discontinuous. Others, such as the behaviorists, Vygotsky, and information processing theorists, assume development is a more slow and gradual process known as continuous development. For instance, they would see the adult as not possessing new skills, but more advanced skills that were already present in some form in the child. Brain development and environmental experiences contribute to the acquisition of more developed skills.

      I honestly don't quite understand this explanation. if you already known something as a child , its common knowledge to later adapt that knowledge even more and learn new skills as well.

    1. It is through this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that infrared radiation is transferred through the atmosphere and into space. These windows can be "closed" by clouds which absorb infrared radiation. That is why the earth's surface and the air above it are warmer on mornings after cloudy nights than on mornings after clear nights

      I find this interesting because I thought that cloudy nights would bring colder mornings since there is less light coming from the moon.

    1. As you increase the pressure of a gas, the collision frequency increases and thus the solubility goes up, as you decrease the pressure, the solubility goes down..

      gas pressure
