Dm Chapter 2 Analysis

In Chapter 2 of Thank You for Arguing by Jay Heinrichs, he discuses how to distinguish the difference between an argument and a fight, and to decide what you want out of an argument. The key point of an argument is to win over the audience to your point of view. In order to win an argument, you need to persuade them. You want your opponent to be persuaded using subtle logical tactics not power and intimidation. Using power and intimidation is the characteristics of a fight. This is when one person takes out his aggression on another, which does not persuade them but initiate’s revenge or rejection. During a fight, the key objective is to win by attacking and belittling your opponent, paying no attention to getting them to change their mind.

Chapter one and two were both good introductory chapters to what specific topics the book would cover. Chapter one focused primarily on the psychological and racial

In Chapter 3-Control the Tense of Thank You for Arguing, we are shown how changing your argument to a different tense can give you the upperhand. This is the task presented by the rhetorical lab on page 29. The directions tell to examine the tenses if we “find ourselves a victim” in an argument, and to then switch from the past or present tense to the future. I tested this technique on my brother, whom I have years of fighting with under my belt, but very little experience arguing with.

This video was very surprising, instructive, informative, depressing and occasionally infuriating. I have always known that there were a lot of factors that influence ones health, but I had never really expected it to be this disturbing reality. The video presents a lot of surprising information with any luck individuals will ask themselves serious questions like I did. Optimistically, after seen the video people can account to the things that need to be addressed in order to eliminate this factors and not be eager to judge a set of group of individuals.

A lot of material to read, I was glad about the complementing videos provided since they that are really easy to follow, providing great help to clarify the subject.

It shows the thought process of someone who has ADHD very clearly which makes it effective but the audience can easily lose track as to what the topic of the moment is. He jumps around from topic to topic and back again which can be expected from someone who lives with ADHD. Once the audience is able to catch up on what is being discussed he makes very valid points on how this disorder should be handled to best benefit the child who is living with it. His personal stories in which he compares to his roommates stories show how drastically different a child’s life can be based on how a teacher/parent/principle/etc. handles the disability. Had he not shared that comparison I do not believe his speech would have made such an impact on the way people can view

Hi Orzumand, the chapters that we read illustrates the ways educators dealt with questions of race in different aspects of public education. As you mentioned, these snapshots build on each other and are intended to stand as separate episodes. This is so to avoid having the impression that it is a history of education reform or of Brazilians of color in the school system. Davila utilized the analytical lens of this text to reveal a systematic vision of race within elements of public policy and tries to avoid replacement of this vision of public policy as the narrative structure that define a new model of a specific role within the race policies. Davila exemplifies the many facet of ways in which public space is shaped in race. Statistically

Most of what was depicted in his videos were also in his articles such the problem with stigma, the importance of family and community, and the depiction that those who really need treatment are seen as not needing the services. I agree with the Guiding Principles and Element by White (2007) that family and community support are important for recovery (p. 21). Also, I believe that continuity of care not only helps individuals

First, I thought the videos were very fascinating but also very hard to watch and very disheartening. It’s amazing to see how the treatment of those suffering from mental illnesses has improved in recent years, but it’s also unbelievable that some treatments were ever used. I am not a doctor and do not have any medical training, but it’s hard to believe that making people have seizures and go into a coma was a beneficial way to treat mental illnesses. It’s also hard to wrap my mind around the fact that someone would ever intentionally put something into someone’s brain to lessen the brain’s

Some of the things in chapter 1, were almost a shock to me. For example the introduction of moral treatment, which allowed patients to be talked to about their problems and taken on long walks. This form of treatment was a peaceful way to get people to open up about what was causing them stress, anxiety, or depression. The fact that this was being considered and being widely spread was an outstanding achievement from what they had come from which was people being considered witches and demons for an abnormal behavior. This would then lead to public embarrassment, harassment, and torture. That torture led to the rise of asylums which then brought forth a more peaceful way of psychiatry. The asylum treatment took a great turn as more and more

If I was a young person struggling with mental illness one message I would get from this video is that psychiatric hospitals are scary, dark, and prerogative. I got this message by all the gray and black writing on the walls of the state hospital. It seems scary by the strange drawing of aliens on the walls behind B.o.B. and calling the rooms “cell blocks”. I called this music video prerogative by the “uniforms” the nurses wear which are very inappropriate for today's work place. I would not find a place like this therapeutic, in fact I would probably be discharged with more problems then I went in with. I found this to be a very poor representation of a psychiatric facility.

C and R provide different views on the topic, how race has influenced their life in the articles ------ and ------. In ------- by R, he shares his childhood experience influenced by the division of race. Do to the race division R avoids his nationality because his mother portrays Latinos as an unsuccessful class under the white class. Repeatedly reminded by his mother to abstain from the sun, R begins to feel exiled from a child’s life because he must protect his skin from coloring. The negative comments by his mother over nationality causes R to fester self hate, he states he is “ugly” and judges himself harshly. As a child, the self hate drives R to scrape off his “dark skin” with a razor in a bathroom. Unlike C, R tries to ditch the stereotype

In Daniel Ch. 3, King Nebuchadnezzar forces his subject to worship a golden statue, threatening to throw anyone who disobeys in a furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar calls all the officials in the region to come together to worship. A herold is called to tell the people: “Nations and peoples of every language,5* when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, zither, dulcimer, harp, double-flute, and all the other musical instruments, you must fall down and worship the golden statue which King Nebuchadnezzar has set

The video, I find most interesting is the Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy. This theory/approach is one I find to be very appropriate in many situations with middle aged adults, families and single parent females, most of all women. In this counseling session James F. Bugental presented his perceptions and ideas of what Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy looks like to 11 experts(Psychotherapy.net, 2008). Dr. James F. Bugental, applies this therapy with a client(Gina), who is going through a divorce, and apparently needs to come to the realization of self-reflection. In the session with ¬¬¬¬Gina, he discovers Gina, is a person who thrives on perfection and being in control of every situation: life with her husband, boys, family, friends,
