essay about the habit

Essay 1 Body Paragraph 1 Sample

Cue: sees many dishes of food

Routine: steals bits off of others’ plates

Reward: Many tastes, mouth sensation, flavors

In analyzing my bad habit loop, I can clearly define the cue, routine, and reward.

In looking at my cue, routine and reward, I can clearly identify my habit loop of food stealing.

One big problem I have is stealing food off of people’s plates, and I identify that habit loop through the cue, routine and reward.

Habit cue:

In first looking at my habit cue, I find that seeing many dishes is my trigger.

The first part of my bad habit loop is the cue of seeing many tasty dishes on the table.

As soon as I see and smell different foods, that is the cue that begins my bad habit loop.

Quote:

A cue is something that starts a routine. For example, in the Power of Habit, a monkey “came to understand through dozens of repetitions, that the shapes on the screen were a cue for a routine …” (45)

Explain: He knew when he saw the shapes he could hit the lever and get a juice reward, just like when I see the food, I can get a reward too.

Routine:

Once my cue is triggered, I begin my routine of food stealing.

The second part of my habit loop is the routine of snatching food from other people’s plates.

After being cued by the sight of tasty treats, I quickly and unthinkingly begin my routine of food taking.

Quote:

In looking at our juice loving monkey from the text, we can see that when “a yellow squiggle appeared [on the screen], he went for the lever … when a blue line flashed, he pounced” (45).

Explain:

When the monkey saw a shape, he hit the lever as part of his routine in the same was I steal food routinely after being cued.

The monkeys routine was to hit a lever everytime he saw a shape just like my routine of food stealing happens after I see many dishes near me.

Just like the monkey who hits a lever habitually after seeing a shape, I too follow my routine of food thievery after seeing many plates of yummy food.

Reward:

After completing m routine, I get a reward of happy mouth satisfaction.

As soon as I have completed food stealing, I am rewarded by yummy sensations.

Of course, there is a reward for my routine which is getting to taste all of those different dishes.

Quote:

The monkey too got a reward for tapping the lever of blackberry juice, “when the juice arrived, Julio [the monkey] would lick his lips contentedly” (45).

Explain:

Rewards make us feel good; so the monkey hit the lever to get juice, and I steal food to get many tastes.

A reward is like a prize; juice for Julio and happy taste buds for me.

We all like getting good things, so Julio gets a juice reward and I a taste reward.

One big problem I have is stealing food off of people’s plates, and I identify that habit loop through the cue, routine and reward. As soon as I see and smell different foods, that is the cue that begins my bad habit loop. A cue is something that starts a routine. For example, in the Power of Habit, a monkey “came to understand through dozens of repetitions, that the shapes on the screen were a cue for a routine …” (45). He knew when he saw the shapes, he could hit the lever and get a juice reward; just like when I see the food, I can get a reward too. After being cuedby the sight of tasty treats, I quickly and unthinkingly begin my routine of food taking. In looking at our juice loving monkey from the text, we can see that when “a yellow squiggle appeared [on the screen], he went for the lever … when a blue line flashed, he pounced” (45).

Of course, there is a reward for my routine which is getting to taste all of those different dishes. The monkey too got a reward for tapping the lever of blackberry juice, “when the juice arrived, Julio [the monkey] would lick his lips contentedly” (45). Rewards make us feel good; so the monkey hit the lever to get juice, and I steal food to get many tastes.

We live in a world where visual images dominate our lives. Television, IPhones, GoPro, and other forms of media influence the way that individuals construct their sense of reality. We “see” more about the world around us, and yet at the same time the question is whether or not we “feel” as much for the subjects that are represented in the images that everyday technology presents to us. Technology has an extraordinary influence on what we think is “true, and one even begins to wonder if what is “seen” can even be properly understood anymore given the way that images can be manipulated.

Please consider this question.

In a world surrounded by media and technology what happens to our sense of empathy for others—and how do those in control try to influence the way we “see” and “feel?”
Here are some suggestions.

1. Who controls the technology has enormous importance in terms of the way we relate to an image. What problems are evident with respect to the responsibility one has with this control? How are these problems presented in De Ghett? What might be the “necessary edge” to better understand what De Ghett presents to his readers?

2. How does our sense of empathy change when technology—and its users—construct the representation of a subject? Does the “necessary edge” of technology increase or decrease the way a subject is understood by the user of technology?

3. If our sense of empathy is affected, then what happens to what we call “reality” and our relationship to the truth?

Lecture Video / Power Points are attached

  • Readings this week have covered the benefits, challenges, and prevalence of parents’ working outside the home. The purpose of this discussion is to have students reflect on their own childhood experiences with parents who did or did not work outside the home, and their aims for their own parenting practices.
    • When you were growing up, did your parent(s) figure(s) work outside the home? Describe at least one advantage and at least one disadvantage you felt at the time for you, as a child, while you were growing up with your parenting situation (with regard to work outside the home or not).
    • Next, describe at least one advantage and at least one disadvantage you can now perceive in hindsight for you, as an adult.
      • (Note: Even seemingly ideal situations can have disadvantages, and even seemingly unimaginably difficult situations can have advantages. Invest critical thought into your written reflection.)
    • Do you plan to raise (or are you raising/did you raise) your child(ren) with one or both parent(s) working outside the home? Do you plan–or would you prefer–to raise your child(ren) with one or both parent(s) staying at home or working from home? Why or why not? If you do/did not plan to have children, please offer thoughts on how you’d handle the situation if you had children.
    • Give two specific concrete examples of what parents can do to optimize the parent-child relationship, if they are parents who work outside the home, despite the hours away at work. What can the parent(s) do to help enhance their relationship with their child(ren), even though away from them for part of the day because of work hours?
  • Use course readings, lectures, and online resources

short discussion post 9

by

In Chapter 2, Thomas King alternates between deconstructing the idea of the “the Indian” in the general sense and sharing personal stories that show how “the Indian” construct affects his own identity. Ultimately, he concludes, “The truth about stories is that that’s all we are” (King 32).

Using this week’s study questions as a starting point, choose one of King’s personal stories and analyze how your chosen example demonstrates that the narrative of “The Indian” impacted King’s life. (For example, the story about Karen his prom date, the cook on the ship, or the phone call with the immigration officer.)

Your main post should include direct quotations from the chapter that support your analysis, and all quotations or paraphrased passages must include a proper MLA citation with the author name and page number, as demonstrated above.
