“Violence and Practical Reflection”
Recall what you learned about violence and lifestyle theories to respond to the following:
1. Hagan (2020) identified several different school shootings as well as incidents of school violence. Why do you think the United States is plagued with more school shootings than all other developed countries combined? What policies do you think would help lessen the number of school shootings? Be specific and provide examples.
Understanding Your Personality
In this week’s Strayer Talk, you saw how Coach’s team reacted to receiving their DiSC personality results. You also learned how their distinct personalities help them succeed at JGR Racing.
2. Understanding your personality and how you work best can open doors in your life and career and improve your communication with those around you. Now that you have your own DiSC results (D, i, S, and/or C) describe a situation at home, school, or work where you had difficulty seeing eye-to-eye with someone else due to personality differences. How would understanding your DiSC profile have helped you communicate with them more effectively?
For example, let’s say you scored high on i (influential and optimistic) while your boss shows many of the strengths of a D (focused on the task, strong drive, direct, assertive). In the past, you may have had a hard time communicating with your boss because of her assertiveness. You might realize that you would be more effective in communicating with your boss if you present your ideas in a “no-nonsense,” direct way. She may not take you seriously if you go off-topic.
