The Language We Learn Can Influence Our Brain Development
Studies suggest that differences in brain development may play an important role in intercultural communication. It has long been known that many non-western cultures do not stress logical reasoning. Children growing up in western cultures are taught to think and reason along the principles of induction and deduction, to break things down into their parts, to focus on details and important aspects of a matter, and also to understand underlying cause and effect relationships.
Non-western cultures tend to take in the overall picture and do not attempt to analyze. People learn to give proper consideration to all variables considered together. This means that they do not overlook background or secondary elements, which westerners could and would immediately rule out in their hurry “to get down to basics,” or “to find the facts that count.” This holistic perception of the world also takes into account feelings and associated emotions. An Asian or Native American could look at a landscape scorched by the hot sun and feel the suffering of the plants and animals. Other cultures making use of a holistic approach to viewing the world or to solving problems include Hispanics and African-Americans.
Whether one is linear or holistic in thinking depends partly on (brain) hemisphericity. Deduction, induction, mathematical reasoning, analysis — in general, what we call a linear and direct approach — are processes lateralized to the left hemisphere; holistic thinking, blending in with nature, feeling an overall effect, letting sights, sounds and smells build an overall picture involve processes lateralized to the right hemisphere.
Relate this to what the text says about Organizational Patterns.

Respond to  2 students discussion using the rise Model
Due Wednesday February 28, 2024by 10:00 pm
NOTE: This is a School Counseling Course
Must Read Everything: 
Reply to at least two classmate’s posts, applying the RISE Model for Meaningful Feedback
I will also show an example below of how the response needs to be addressed.
Here’s an example of how the response should look. Please don’t copy it. 
The response to the classmate need to be just like this. 
Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are? 
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…”  for a more weighted argument?

Classmate response 1- Amelia
What made you want to become a school counselor?
I have always held jobs where I support and help people. Originally, I wanted be a nurse and after 2 years of that I decided it was not for me. I was thankful that I was able to earn my first nursing certification in High school through what was call ROP now CTE pathways, so I didn’t spend money on that, I got my bachelor’s in health and human services and was going to continue with my MFT. I took a few classes but had to drop once I was pregnant, and I was high risk. I always said I would go back once my baby was in school. 11 years later and I went back but all my credits were no longer valid, so I had to start over. Since I have been in school settings for the past 11 years and love working with the school counselors, I have great mentors I decided that I would get my Masters in school counseling. I have learned so much about what type of school counselor I want to be during this process and hope to continue to support students and families in my school counselor role.

How will the school counseling program facilitate a more peaceful/safe school environment? 
School counselors deliver targeted tier 1 interventions that are designed to reflect the needs of their student population. If I were working at a school site like the one I am currently experiencing my internship hours at, I would implement more whole class SEL lessons on empathy, kindness, belonging, and advocacy. It’s super important that everyone in the school community is onboard with the approach and language used for building a positive school climate. At my previous school site, I implemented a behavioural management program called Kelso’s Choices. The program gives students the vocabulary, approach, and process for solving problems. At the same time, it requires that students learn to identify small problems from big ones, and it teaches kids to advocate for adult support when a problem involves safety, a school rule has been violated or a person is in danger. When students learn a process to de-escalate conflict and problem solve on their own, this helps to build resiliency, independence, and confidence. If students also have adults who use the same language and problem solving skills at school and home, this helps to create a reliable and trusted safety network. Of course, this requires parent and teacher workshops to get everyone on board. At my previous school, it took about 3 years for kids and teachers to really buy-in and start using the same language, process and vocabulary to problem solve. It’s not as easy getting parents to change their way of solving conflicts at home, but many of our students said that they were implementing the skills on their own at home.

Movie Clip
You just viewed a scene from the film “Presumed Innocent” starring Harrison Ford. Ford’s character is a prosecutor and he is accused of committing murder.
Suddenly the colleagues he has been friends with for years are trying to send him to prison. In this particular scene, a pre-trial motion is being heard before the judge. What is being decided is whether something Ford said, out of anger, to one of his colleagues is admissible in court. 
Relate what the text says about dialects to the statement “Yeah, your right” as it is being dismissed by the judge.
How does one know the meaning of the actual words versus the “real” meaning intended? Explain in detail.

Inspire a Shared Vision Reflection
Answer the following questions in your journal reflection.
What was your mission/vision statement you created?
Developing a personal vision takes the same skills required to develop a group vision. How would you help an organization to develop a vision?
In 3-5 years from now, where do you envision yourself? What kind of organization will you be working for?
What is the vision of this organization? If you do not know, what would you want it to be?
Why is it or why is it not important to work for a company that follows its vision?
Does this organization align with your personal vision?
