PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Goals, wants, needs
There are short term goals and long term goals. A short term goal can be accomplished in less than one year and a long term goal takes more than one year. For example, I want to make the honor roll this year is a short term goal, but something like I want to graduate high school is a long term goal. A want is something desired but not necessary to life. For example, I want Versace cologne, but I don't need it. A need is something necessary to life like shelter, water, and food.
Learning styles; Multiple intelligence
There are 3 different learning styles: visual, tactile, and auditory. I am a tactile learner because I like to use my hands and move around to learn things. There are 8 multiple intelligences: verbal, logical, visual, kinithestic, musical, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. I am kinithestic because like my learning style, I like to use my hands and be active while doing things. Another multiple intelligence I am is musical because I like listening to music to help motivate me to work.
Decision making/ self concept
The decision making process is 1. Identify the problem 2.list 3 possible ways to solve the problem 3. Evaluate pros and cons of decision choices 4. Choose best option and act on it 5. Evaluate results. Example: a student tries to cheat off of you and you know the teacher is looking. 1. Let him copy 2. Cover your paper 3. Tell the teacher. After evaluating the options I'd choose option two because I won't get caught helping him cheat and he won't get cheating. I learned the difference between self concept and self esteem. Self concept is how you see yourself, while self esteem is how you feel about yourself. The self concept circle starts with how you see yourself, your actions that reflect how you see yourself, how others see you because of your actions, then others reactions to you.
Time and stress management
How you manage your time is completely up to you, whatever you need to do to make sure you have enough time to handle things in life, do it. Whether it be making a to do list, or going to bed earlier you should do it. I don't really have a system, I'm not very organized, it's not the best but it works for me! I've also learned that the more you do, the more stressed you will be, just know it's ok to say no sometimes a don't waste time agonizing either just get it done.
Crisis management
Things like depression and rape are crisis'. Rape can happen to anybody. It is sexually activity without one or the others consent. 39% of all sex offenders have been drinking beforehand, And most are in their late teens and thirties. There are four kinds of rape: acquaintance, marital, stranger, and gang. Stranger is 30% of all rapes in the US. Marital occurs during marriage. Acquaintance is by someone you have met before and gang rape is by multiple people. Depression is a serious disease that can lead to suicide. It is like a long lasting sadness and can happen after something tramatic event. People who show symptoms should get help right away because it is very treatable.
Communication.
There are two different types of communication: verbal and nonverbal. Verbal is anything using words like taking or writing. Non verbal is body language. An I message is way to tell how you feel when you are in a disagreement. It works like this: I feel ___ when __ because __ I would like __. For example, your mom gets mad you don't do the dishes because you were doing homework. "I feel hurt when you get mad I don't do chores because I was busy doing school work, I'd like you to understand that I have my own things to do before I can do things around the house.
Dating
There are three reasons people date: socialization, recreation, and mate selection. Being attractive is very important in getting dates, but is one of the least important traits in finding a mate partner. Infatuation can often be confused with love. It grows rapidly. "Love at first sight" is common in teen years and fades as fast as it comes. Love builds slowly after getting to know to know them and is one of the most important traits in finding a mating partner.
Final paragraph
Overall this class was pretty simple to learn. The unit that helped me the most was probably the crisis management unit because I stress over everything and sometimes feel depressed. I felt
Like most of the other stuff I already knew before the unit started.
