oct 15 question 3

I will pick one conception that really stands out to me. “Self-Serving Biases” errors that we may not understand, leads some to draw upon conclusion. Three include misconception that we are in control, overestimating ourselves comparison to others, and exaggerate our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. The misconception that we control chance when it come to lottery tickets. I believe that people rely of luck more than anything. The sales of lottery tickets have boasted up even in a Recession. Next, overestimation ourselves comparison to others, the ability that we feel that it is our fault for irrational events to happen to us and feel like one is in control. This misconception really creates us to think it is ones fault. Furthermore, we might believe that we had control over the situation. Finally, exaggerate our strengths and minimize our weaknesses, the notion that we are overconfidence is vital because if we don’t reach a dream one can put themselves down. This understanding that we can only do so much creates a burden when one doesn’t reach a goal. Thank you for the read.

Oct. 15 Question 1

“Wisdom is the greatest virtue” by Aristotle. The function of wisdom making wise decisions in aspects of life. The is not readily for a function of a tool. The wise tool of what tools should be used. This is similar into knowledge in a way. Take for example; I know that there is going to be wisdom of problems from the pass. Furthermore, to learn from the pass is wisdom; Therefore, learning about mistakes in the pass can help from running into the same problems. The knowledge that is taught in school is actually more about memory. Knowledge seems to be more of memory; this is why is one of the reasons to why I am thinking about leaving school. So school seem to push course that don’t align with careers. Yet, to whoever read this don’t consider leaving school. Furthermore, looking into my own opinion will create why knowledge is different from wisdom.

Chapter 3 Question 3

I found one of the interesting comment in Rhetorical Devices is euphemism. Euphemism creates a positive meaning amongst words which changes how one my feel about a situation. Take for example, research has been done that words make a difference when one votes. I can word a survey, “What do you think about the choice of the killing of a baby?” people would vote against it. Now, “what do you think about pro-choice abortion?” These both will create different result on the votes, but the words used are different.  I couldn’t believe that I knew about this type before I read it in chapter 3.

Question 2 Week of October 1, 2012

I used sarcasm to really reflect upon people’s insults. I really feel they don’t know how to interpret sarcasm. I was told the other day what if I steal a credit card number on a family member. I simple said, “I would steal the number” they simple said nothing in reply. This really strike people as is he really saying that as for reals or just too be smart? I find if you’re going to insult someone please do it in a matter of respect. I use sarcasm, when I feel someone is insulting me. Furthermore, I will not sit there an talk for a long period of time if I feel really insulted. I know when someone ask a real legitimate question. They usually don’t direct it towards someone.

                I use hyperbole to say when I say a basketball game. For example, I said, “the was the greatest game I have ever seen.” Yet, it was a great game and I loved it. Although it wasn’t the greatest game I have ever seen.

Ride and opportunity

Ride exemplifies the characteristics of a good critical thinker. In the world realizing goals she went into physics and English. Her college’s friends would call her as being an effective communicator. Also, she knew about research to resolve issues. Therefore, Ride double majored in college in English and Physics. While she has honed her skills, the in fact help for Ride to communicate with writing for the NASA. Her analytical skills are amongst the elite very profound; she is chosen for Capcom for the first and second shuttle.

                Some people would say I missed a great opportunity and passed it up. I was offered to work in any place I considered at a Casino. I was offered to work being a manager for an oil company. I was offered to work for a hedge fund company. The one that I really remember the most is the Hedge fund company. I was think that to join a hedge fund company now I would have too leave school. I was going to leave school. Yet, I sometimes feel that I should have just went for it.
