catw passing sheet


After reading the essay thoroughly, I have to discover the main ideas of the passage, particularly 3. Then chose my thesis and decide whether I concur with the authors ideas. I have a hard time choosing the subjects of my body paragraph as well as the examples to represent my thesis. I need to have flow and stay on the subject of the essay and not stray away on my own tangent regarding my own ideas without examples representing them. My spelling needs to sharp and my examples need to be concrete and lucid. I have to stay the course and make sure there is development from the introduction of my essay through the conclusion. Continue to use transitions in the beginning of a paragraph and sentences to close out paragraphs. Direction throughout the essay and finish within a timely manner after reading over the essay.

intro to catw 2


In the article, “In Groups We Shrink”, by Carol Tavris illustrates the idea of individual’s personalities changing once among a group. Conveying, that one’s actions completely differ from when alone in comparison to when in attendance with other individuals during a time crisis or climactic matters. I concur with the author’s notion of a person’s reaction with or without a group having more to do with the group dynamic or “the nature of the groups than the nature of the individuals”.  The gravity of a situation can create great trepidation when a group is established and the occurrence is random. A poised individual attending to a task at hand can be vacillated when case of an emergency which will delay a response. Whens roles are places within a group, the actions cared out can create movement or stagnation within a group. During sporting events, security is provided to prevent any interference to occur during the event taking place. However, on occasion the event can be interrupted by a very inebriated individual.

Catw practice


In the article “How your birth order influences your life adjustment,” by Lucille Forer, the idea of a child’s development based upon their family is accurate in most cases. I agree with the claim of the role in the family based upon the order he or she was conceived, will impact a child’s psychology. A child being able I to understand and communicate his strengths and weaknesses, will develop skills that enable himself to work well with others. The eldest and only child’s roles are most similar in regards to the idea of humility being suppressed from their youth and the shift of responsibility. Which leaves the youngest emotionally interdependent upon dynamic within his immediate environment. When only syndrome comes into play within most relationships, its usually irritable to anyone outside the immediate family.

                Firstly, the independence of an only child can have negative or positive impact. Developing the idea of being decisive from the early stages of youth, aids the transition of being able to relate and get along with others. In relation to the oldest sibling, establishing the confidence and responsibility of a leader, due to the role established during childhood via his parents. However, when not in a comfortable situation, the stubbornly resilient bravado takes its toll and the ability to convey the need of assistance is obsolete. My older brother found it difficult to convey that he needed to come home to become more grounded and stable. Thus, he moved to the southwest and until recent established a more balance lifestyle, in terms of religion, occupation and family. Moreover, the middle child role can either set the president of a will to prove worthy or extremely self –indulgent due to the family role of assistance being very available.  

                In addition, the family dynamic of role establishment provides the opportunity to flourish because parental nurturing and sibling hierarchy. Growing up with two brothers, I obtained the role as the middle child at very young age. The ability to understand the division of nurturing at a young age was beneficial in regards to me not obtaining selfish but selfless attitude towards others. Being able to fathom the idea of humility and the appropriate time to express runs parallel with the role of the middle child. However, becoming complacent with someone being there when you need them enables a lack of responsibility which has a relation to the development of the youngest sibling.

                In closing, the maturation of the last conceived is critically based upon the family dynamic. Whether its pressure to do well due to your older siblings flourish or not quite acting upon their potential, the pressure exist. Establishing a consistent behavior pattern of around the clock nurturing and assistance can be an unable by the lack of independence developed. Until recently my younger brother needed and yearned for family attention while away at college. I expressed to him until he finds what is important to him, he’ll consistently need guidance.
