A Narrative That Describes The Implications Of Your Self...

,lPart One: A narrative that describes the implications of your self-assessment (i.e., personality, interests, skills, and values) and career exploration (e.g., informational interviews) and how those influence your next steps in your career / life plan. You should also discuss the implications of your decision-making style, as discussed in class. Comment on how you developed the options under consideration, and how you have evaluated your preferred options. 1.) According to the tests it shows that I have a lot of charisma and I tend to have people lean towards my opinions. I am a goal oriented person because it keeps me structured during times by which it’s hard to stay on one accord. I enjoy helping others find the big picture because†¦show more content†¦I found this to be helpful because these values describe me to the fullest extent. Consequently, these test and results showed similarities because they all agreed that I have a social aspect to me that I cannot avoid. An implication with this is sometimes I am not as social as I should be. I have periods of times by which I could be deemed anti-social or an introvert. This could work against me in my career because I would have to always be turned on in order to keep people interested and focused. One thing that was different was how they said I want to be recognized, I always felt that I missed out on some recognition due to the fact that the work ethic I displayed tend not to receive much recognition. I would have to become more balanced when it comes to my limitations in order to become a better leader and enforcer for my potential careers because my limitations have the ability to become my strengths. My greatest strength is being able to relate to people is helpful within human resources because I will be talking to plenty of people. I feel that the career I want to pursue would help me improve on communicating and everything else of the like. 2. I see that my career as a job because I wouldn’t want to think about it as something in obligated to do but something I want to do. I feel that I would follow

Legalization Of Marijuana And The Hemp - 1436 Words

Over the years this question has been asked time and time again. It is more relevant to ask this question now than it has ever been. We now have two states within the United States of America were marijuana is legal for not only medical use, but for recreational use and twenty-one states where it is only legal for medical use. (Nantional Cancer Institute, 2014) What about the big picture what about the hemp plant itself? What are some of the benefits of the hemp plant? How would the legalization of the hemp/marijuana plant benefit the economy? These are just some of the questions I will hope to answer within this paper. I will hopefully find enough supporting evidence to support the legalization of Marijuana and the hemp crop itself. The†¦show more content†¦Until very recently the only research that has been conducted on the medical use of Cannabis has been for the relief of cancer patients. The primary use at this point has been for the relief of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy (Nantional Cancer Institute, 2014). Some of the other uses have been for anorexia and cachexia in HIV/AIDS, chronic, especially neuropathic pain, spasticity in multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury (Nantional Cancer Institute, 2014). The scientific data collected over the years is precisely clear that the use of medical Cannabis is needed and should be allowed everywhere in the United States. Though the research is limited mainly because it is just not available yet for the benefits from the use of medical cannabis to treat depression, pruritus, and epilepsy the results are still leaning towards a positive turnout. A lot of the scientific evidence for a specific indication does not necessarily refle ct the actual therapeutic potential for a given disease. (Nantional Cancer Institute, 2014) If the federal government would legalize Cannabis so many more studies could be conducted to hopefully one day know the full potential until then we only know a few facts. These facts have been proven time and time again through the course of vigorous studies. The use of medical Cannabis can positively be used to treat nausea,

Analysis of Visuals Communication

Question: Discuss about the Analysis of Visuals Communication. Answer: In the advertising world the means to an end notion is motivated. The end is higher attention drawn and means are the advertisements. The advertisers have utilized both the stereotypes and the countertypes of gender for a very long time; this is done to draw attention, challenge stereotypes, accept stereotypes, present countertype elements etc. (Ferrel Hartline, 2010) In the given image the visual and textual elements are: An average Joe wearing womens clothing Child in his arms is held in a way that is not comfortable The text message is written in plain white with Women highlighted in pink The entire picture is grey tonnes The traditional roles of the women are reinforced; i.e. child bearing and household roles. The aim of the advertiser was to ask questions and stimulate thinking. In this particular advertisement the advertiser has highlighted the simplest biological fact that without women reproduction would be challenging. The men holding the child is not very convenient for the child himself symbolizing that the men do not have motherly skills. The motherly nature of the women is evident here, may be the advertiser wanted to empower the women but the idea that is generated here is that the world without women would be depressed. The written woman words highlighted in pink is an element that reinforces the fact that girls are pink and boys are blue (Scott, 2010) (Stocchetti Kukkonen, 2011). The aim of the advertiser was definitely to highlight that the women are essential for life. Without women there is bound to be no life and thus intended to highlight the importance of the women gender. The mothers are the ones who ensure the growth of the next generation. This advertiser is a clothing brand thus it can be said that the advertiser wanted to target women and state that they are critical for life and irreplaceable, and very important. The choice of the image do seems provocative and the intension behind was to attract customers serene attention. This technique of using provocative imaging has been used by advertisers to gain uninterrupted attention and retain it. It has been stated that use of provocative images lays a lasting impact on ones mind (Solomon, Hughes, Chitty, Marshall, Stuart, 2013) This has been the intention and though it was effective in getting the uninterrupted attention of the customers the advertisers failed to clearly send out their message becaus e they have focused on traditional roles of women and such imaging provokes culturally biased views on women.

Henry Purcell\s Dido and Aneas Essays - Dido, Henry Purcell, Lament

1) As compared to singing style of the Gregorian Chant we listened to, what do you notice is the same or different in the vocal style of this singer? The Gregorian Chants we listened to involved unaccompanied, monophonic music for voices. Most Gregorian chants consist of simple recitation on a monotone with only slight deviations from that single pitch. In comparison with Gregorian Chants, the vocal style of this singer is melismatic. The singer stretches the lyrics to add to the sad mood of the Aria. The Aria is a Triple Meter while Gregorian Chants are non metrical. The singer has a Soprano voice while Gregorian chants are usually performed in groups or choirs with varying pitches and may include altos, tenors and basses. The vocal style of the singer of Dido?s lament includes the use of vibrato and trill to add to the seriousness of the mood. Gregorian chants do not include features such as vibrato and trill. 2) Focus on the bass line. This is an important aspect of this piece. It is a "ground bass" and is defined in your book. a) Why might Purcell have used this type of bass line instead of one that does not repeat? I feel that Purcell has used a ground bass line to enforce the idea of a lament. It also served to create a dramatic effect to describe Dido?s wretched situation. He did not use a bass line that does not repeat so that he could create an impression of impending doom and build the melody to an intense climax. The bass line by itself sounds apprehensive and mournful, which reflects Dido?s feelings as well. Since the Aria focuses on Dido?s feelings where she has little to say, Purcell needed time to convey this emotional message through the music and so used the repeated bass line. b) Until the last few notes of its melody, which way does the melody of the bass line go (up or down)? Why do you think Purcell chose this melodic shape? Since the melody is laid over the ground bass, it goes down for most of the Aria. Purcell included a descending bass line to add word painting to the lyric ?laid?. Purcell chose a descending melodic shape to reiterate Dido?s emotional downfall, agony and death. It helps to create an impression of Dido?s misery while building to an almost apocalyptic end. c)Are the intervals large or small for the majority of the line? Why do you think Purcell chose this type of interval usage? The intervals are small for the majority of the line. Purcell chose this type of interval usage to reflect Dido?s feelings of vulnerability and impending doom. The small intervals serve to help Dido?s lament include all that she is feeling without having to use too many words. Dido knows that she is going to die. Purcell?s use of small intervals enables us to feel Dido?s anguish. Purcell?s usage of the ground bass sends out two messages. The first is a slow descent through each iteration. Every statement of the ground bass starts at a high and ends an octave lower. This measured descent exerts a pull on Dido?s melody. The message Purcell is trying to get across is that Dido cannot escape her fate. No matter how hard she tries, Aeneas has abandoned her and will probably never come back. The second message is in the pitches of the bass line. The first segment is a harmonic free form and always ends at the same place. The harmonic destination is momentarily in doubt; Dido?s fate (in her mind) is in doubt. The next segment is predictable and conventional. Purcell uses these two segments to reinforce the sense of instability and inevitability of Dido?s fate. 3) Since this was Queen Dido?s last aria in the Opera and the situation was one of misery and doom, the Aria sounds mournful in every aspect. In Purcell?s opera, Aeneas meets, woos and then abandons Dido. To convey Dido?s grief Purcell shapes several musical elements to resonate with painful life experience: a slow tempo, labored rhythms, and the interplay between the descending bass line and a melody that fights against it. In addition he uses the structural and
