Using readings from the class thus far, consider the following:
Gender normative patterns of communication. What consequences do women face when norms are broken? What are the benefits?
Can language, or ways of speaking, be used a form of resistance to the hetero-patriarchy?
Further:
Should women "tone down" how they talk to each other, and to men/gender neutral?
What about men? What role do they have in language about or towards women?
Discuss language about women.
Last, briefly reflect: How do you feel when someone uses a sexist term when addressing or discussing a woman/women? Is it appropriate?

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying because it shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: |
There is a range of perspectives on Darwin's ideas about evolution. His theory of evolution shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity that many find appealing. When Dawkins (1989) states that "Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying" (p. 12), he points to the ability of the theory to explain complex phenomenon.

Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of the novel as an embodiment of moral philosophy. References: |
Murdoch and number of other philosophers all tried to establish a subdued, non-metaphysical, and operational lexicon and discourse for a humanist ethics. According to Bényei (2003) "Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum" (p. 151). However, I have several points of contention with their assertions. References: |

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--not unless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: |
One has to ask oneself how you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? Otherwise, you can fall into a trap that is the same as identifying "the management practice equivalent of having buildings" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 14). References: |

Participant motivation to engage in these activities can also be enhanced by providing students with an opportunity to help generate the solutions to tactical problems that exist within net/wall games and have input into game creation. The principles provide a framework of tactical solutions that range from simple to complex (i.e., tactical complexity) and promote understanding of these solutions through creating games that exaggerate their importance and relevance in game settings. References: |
If tactics don't matter and a game is all about pure physical skill, it can become rather boring. The tactical dynamic, especially between players, can lead to unexpected outcomes as a result of player innovation. Furthermore, giving players an opportunity to contribute to creating solutions to problems that are tactical in net/wall games can contribute to enhancing player engagement. |

Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems. References: |
After presenting their results the authors recognize that the nature of the data they have provided "can only lead to broad and general discussions" but also suggest "that this discussion is necessary" (Rutkowski & Rutkowski, 2009, p. 150). References: |

Berger and Luckmann state that we are born into an 'objective social structure' and that we have only a limited ability to subjectively appropriate and interpret it for ourselves. Discuss how the categories of race, gender, and class predate any one individual, and how we are bound to identify ourselves in relation to them. To what extent can an individual redefine themselves in relation to these categories, and what are the possible social sanctions they may face for doing so? Your answer should be around 500 words and cite any pertinent sources from the course.

Gyges was a shepherd in the service of the king of Lydia; there was a great storm, and an earthquake made an opening in the earth at the place where Gyges was feeding his flock. Amazed at the sight, Gyges descended into the opening, where, among other marvels, he beheld a hollow brazen horse, having doors, at which he, stooping and looking in, saw a dead body of stature, as appeared to him, more than human, and having nothing on but a gold ring. This he took from the finger of the dead and reascended. Now the shepherds met together, according to custom, to send their monthly report about the flocks to the king. Into their assembly Gyges came with the ring on his finger. As he was sitting among them, Gyges chanced to turn the collet of the ring inside his hand, whereupon instantly he became invisible to the rest of the company and they began to speak of him as if he were no longer present. He was astonished at this, and again touching the ring he turned the collet outward and reappeared; he made several trials of the ring, and always with the same result—when he turned the collet inward, he became invisible; when outward, he reappeared. Whereupon he contrived to be chosen as one of the messengers to be sent to the court. As soon as he arrived, he seduced the queen, and, with her help, conspired against the king, slew him, and took the kingdom. Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the just put on one of them and the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of such an iron nature that he would stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with anyone at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men. Then the actions of the just would be as the actions of the unjust; they would both come at last to the same point. And this we may truly affirm to be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or because he thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but of necessity, for wherever anyone thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust. For all men believe in their hearts that injustice is far more profitable to the individual than justice, and those who argue as I have been supposing will say that they are right. If you could imagine anyone obtaining this power of becoming invisible, and never doing any wrong or touching what was another’s, he would be thought by the lookers-on to be a most wretched idiot, although they would praise him to one another’s faces and keep up appearances with one another from a fear that they too might suffer injustice.

You have finally completed training at your new job as a therapist and feel fully informed about policy and procedure. You are excited to start seeing clients. A referral for individual therapy is given to you from the secretary and you initiate services with the client. During your initial intake assessment, you determine the client meets diagnostic criteria for PTSD. You staff your intake session with your supervisor, who proceeds to tell you the client needs to be diagnosed with an adjustment disorder in order to fit with a more strength-based and wellness approach that characterizes the agency. Your supervisor tells you that the agency diagnoses clients with the least restrictive diagnosis and urges you to change your diagnosis because of a belief that PTSD is to stigmatizing to clients. However, the client has already been informed they meet criteria for PTSD and they do not agree with your new diagnosis and do not want to engage in treatment.
