Feedback Strategies, Week 3


Feedforward
I found the feedforward article to be very interesting. I must say, I would prefer this type of approach because I am prone be more creative when someone suggest something that I did not think of.  Hearing suggestions from other individuals helps me think outside my box. In addition, it helps me gain confidence, because someone can suggest something I thought off, but I was unsure of, so I played it safe, colored within the lines so to speak.  I have found this to be true regarding writing, but life in general. I recently had someone suggest something that I could do in the future when dealing with someone who made a statement in a text to me that I did not agree with. My friend did not ask how I dealt with this person in the past but suggested a conflict resolution technique that I never considered. I immediately started thinking of varies ways to use the technique. I applied what I learned, and the situation ended totally different than I expected. I gained a new strategy in dealing with conflict, not saying that how I would have handled it would not have had a similar conclusion, but her suggested technique was better. Now, this does not mean I will never apply my own approach again, but now I have several options to choose from. Although, I appreciate the feedforward strategy, I do not agree that feedforward is especially suited for successful people. I think people in pursuit of anything would appreciate ideas that are aimed to help achieve their goals.  

I believe feedforward is a productive way to reinforce the possibility of change. It causes one to put the guard down and welcome what can appear to be encouragement rather than feeling like you were being critiqued. In reading the feedforward article, I recognized that I employ this technique but didn’t realize it was an actual strategy.

Closed Reading Analysis W9: My Tongue begs for the Power of Speech

“My tongue begs for the power of speech that is Your gift to us; for silence gets its style of representation from Your gift to us. The melancholic weeping of those who live with disappointment is Your gift to us." This piece stood out to me because upon reading the author’s history, I discovered that none of his seven children lived beyond fifteen months, not to mention that his wife’s nephew who he adopted as his son died, along with his wife (587). In addition, Ghalib fell in love again with a low-caste Hindu courtesan, who also died at a young age, whose loss he mourned publicly (588). These types of tragedies are unbearable without some type of hope in a higher explanation. Therefore, I believe the dialect in the poem appears to a greater degree a supplication than a sonnet. In numerous religions there is a certain reverence one has when addressing God. The author is by all accounts requesting permission to speak freely to God concerning the gut wrenching pain he is experien...

Week 3, Analysis, Tartuffe

A Thin Line Between Reason and Wisdom At first glance you can analyze Tartuffee as a condemnation on religion, but I found it to be remarkably inverse. The contention is not with religion, but with hypocrisy and reason rooted in freethinking. In the tale of Tartuffe, Moliere accentuates the importance of heeding to wisdom. We see, Cleante, the brother in law of Orgon and the King are viewed as the voice of wisdom. While, the other characters, could be the voice of reason. Although wisdom and reason are similarly characterized, they are distinctive in meaning.  British philosopher Nicholas Maxwell has called wisdom "the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others. ” Moliere acquaints us with a man’s inability to sway from his own reasoning, only to end up encountering the ultimate betrayal before recognizing the true value of wisdom. Orgon was incapable of seeing the importance of family, after returning home from being absent for two days, he inqui...

Reading Notes W16: Recitatif, Part A

Recitatif Roberta and Twyla were two different girls & races from the same world. The only difference is that Twyla was in the foster care system because her mother like to party, however Roberta was in the foster care system because her mom was ill. They were the same age, bullied by the older girls, and both had problems learning. The interaction between Roberta and Twyla mother is interesting because the author without mentioning, alludes the issue of race but leaves it to the reader. Roberta’s mother could have walked away because she did not approve of the way Twyla mother dressed. Maggie symbolizes the girls’ mothers. Maggie could not communicate what she was feeling. She could not express the pain and cruelty she was experiencing at the hands of the gar girls. Likewise, the author compares Mary dancing and Roberta’s mother illness to Maggie. They could not verbally communicate what they were experiencing, both dance and sickness is silent. Both ladies were dealin...
