“In 1930 its population was 112,000.  Today it is 36,000.” – I feel this is important because I think that over the years the population should grow and not shrink.  I think that with the growing of the economy and racism going down that more people would try to move in to bring up the value and population of the area. Why would people continue to live in a place that is so under populated with a high crime rate and not try…

I actually didn’t get to meet with her for a conference. I set a time for this upcoming Sunday to hopefully meet with her. However, I know a bit to late to meet with her now.

  In class we talked about a Ted Talk and an article. The Ted Talk was called “The Power of Yet” which is narrated by Carol Dweck. Dweck focuses on fixed and growth mindsets mainly on children. The article was called “The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Johnathan Haidt. Which talks about how Lukianoff and Haidt think trigger warnings shouldn’t be necessary in school because it can affect them later in life when they don’t get…

Based off of the first 3 to 5 sentences I believe that this article is about how liberal learning isn’t what it used to be. After reading the title of this article liberal art means the history of literature or thinking.

My biggest concerns with writing this is i’m not really sure how to start writing at least the introduction paragraph. So I just wrote my ideas down and have been stuck. I can’t seem to put together a paper.

For example, Dweck brings up “Just the words yet or not yet we’re finding these give kids greater confidence, gives them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.” Then Lukianoff and Haidt bring up “The idea that words (or smells or any sensory input) can trigger searing…

Carol Dweck’s Ted Talk called “The Power of Yet” is about the “Power of Yet” or of a growth mindset is the belief that you can improve. If you do not (yet) know how to code or how to navigate the command line, you can learn. The great news for all of us too is that “mindsets can be taught, they are malleable”. Lukianoff and Haidt’s “The Coddiling of the American Mind” article is about Lukianoff and Haidt arguing that overprotection is…

1.) critical thinking using the authors’ terms/words is “grounding one’s beliefs and evidence rather than in emotion or desire, and learning how to search for and evaluate evidence that might contradict one’s initial hypothesis.” My explanation of critical thing is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. the authors sees as impediments to critical…

Microaggression is a subtle verbal or nonverbal, committed consciously or not, that is directed at a member of a marginalized group, and has a harmful, derogatory effect. “Microaggressions are small actions or word choices that seem on their face to have no malicious intent but that are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless. For example, by some campus guidelines, it is a microaggression to ask an Asian American or Latino American “Where were you born?,” because this implies that…
