Journal on " Procrastination''

The reading start with the opening paragraph that says : '' Unlike perfectionists, procrastinators are incorrigible optimists. They operate under the assumption that if you postpone things you don't want to do long enough they eventually go away'', I think this is really, really true most people think that things would fall from the sky or that others would do it for them. I think that as human being we are we tend to leave things for last and at the end we have rush through them. Dr. Joyce Brothers tells how had missed good job opportunities because of proscrastination. The reading is really interesting because it gives tips of how to stop procrastination, it made me realized I need a couple of them.

Topic of preference : Psychology.

I decided that I would talk about psysochology. Psychology is a guide field of study , so I have decided to discuss as much as I can. This career has many, many topics and is often confused with psychiatry. I think is better to discuss phychology itself and not certain topics. Through the research I would be able to see what is psychology is all about and its public morals( most people I know would be offended if told they need a phychologist, why is this?). Since I'm really interested in this career it would good to know the job options and possible salaries. I might also include how phychology have grown through out the years, this is part of the social issues; are psychologists reliable.

Journal on " Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter "

Martin Luther King, Jr is well known for the fact that he was a great leader that help to defend the rights of the afro- american community. This letter he wrote made him famous. As I read it I realized that he was a man of powerful words and that knew how to make his point in a peaceful way. He mentioned that he tries to look for ways to get the white community attention, therefore they could realize that the black community most be treated equal. I had always agree with the fact that african - americans most be treated equally and I that the amendment of the constition is fair; saying that'' we most all be treated equally''. The letter is very specific and Luther King expressed his feelings towards racism and the ones that practices it , and that he would try to stop it by protesting in a peaceful way.

Journal on ''Stephen king''.

This is a well known writer that writes mainly fiction. ''if you want to be a good writer , you most do two things above all others, read a lot and write a lot''. This great writer tell the readers that somethimes we learn from bad readings, for instance what not to do, in a good reading the person learns '' style, graceful narration , plot development, the creation of believable characters and truth-telling.

I agree to all this bacause the fact is that we leand from mistakes we/others do, for instance he reads seventy to eighty books a year to learn from others, he not only do it for this but the fact that he enjoys it.

Journal on "The prisioner's Dilemma"

As the text mentioned, this reading is based on dilemmas. Throught out the history we being developing cultures and mixing them more and more. Now a days we know more about cultures like the Islamic specially after September 11. This reading specifies details of how people in this culture punish those that comitt a crime. I think that the fact that we think this is wrong is based on our own culture. To them this is the right way bacause they developed their believes based on their ancestors and in the ''Koran'', they follow their reliogious practices very close, but believe that they should punish criminals with their own hand , to this I do not really agree, but who I might to tell what's right or wrong and the fact is that none of us is normal because being normal means conforming to a standard, pattern, or general average, or to what is expected; usual; in other words to fit to the society ideals ( an this one varies).
