Just Wing It

Students usually take up until the last week or so to do an interview because they are nervous. It is because they don't know what to say or they are afraid that the interviewee might criticize them. There isn't any reason to be afraid! People are not that cruel. Especially someone who would take their time to go out of their way to come talk with you! Whether it is live or e-mail their isn't any reason to hesitate on your thoughts. You should go ahead and speak your mind. Don't hold back. This is an interview after all. You ask the questions they answer. Then when you can, you discuss that topic further. It's a simple three step process. So please try not to be nervous. It will only further change their opinion of you.

All in all, Just Wing It

I can't think of a creative title so deal with this one.

For my I-search I decided to research the career of a dance teacher. I finished my first interview a couple of days ago but I was super stressed out. I think I contacted maybe four people and only one had responded. I ended up interviewing one of my best friends who has been a dance teacher for almost three years now. The whole interviewing process in general went well. I was able to connect Tommy(the dance teacher I interviewed) and he was very open and honest. Even a question that I asked about him outside of the dance category, he would somehow find a way to relate it to dance. It was nice interviewing someone who is so passionate about their job. Questions that started with “How do you...” got Tommy talking the most. I think the fact that it was one of my best friends worked for me. It was easy to be myself and communicate clear. I also learned that if there is more than one awkward silence, it's you being the awkward person, not the interviewee. Overall, I'm glad I got it done and I cannot wait until the next one.

BE PREPARED!!!!

Ok so I just got done doing my interview like an hour and a half ago and just like everyone else I assumed I was prepared and for the most part I was really nervous. I was meeting up with one of my mom's friends at 5pm. I made like so many mistakes I can't believe I had like two weeks to prepare and I still wasn't ready. My interviewee was very nice and patient with me. Until I met up with her I had realized I wasn't well prepared. Like I said I was really nervous about doing the interview but when I met her I was pretty calm and a little bit confident. I introduced myself she did the same. I asked if I could record our interview she said yes. So I pressed record and I thought it was recording. She answered my questions. We were done. I thanked her and apologized for being late. I asked for her email incase I had any questions or if I needed her to repeat something for me. So I left and started filling out that sheet Mr. Speckels gave to us and when I tried to play back what I had recorded for my interview I realized it wasn't even recording at all. But hey I remembered a lot, maybe not a lot, but most of what she said. I membered what I really needed to know but because I don't member the other stuff Im going to email her and get the rest of that information. So for those who are reading this this is what I got to say to you. BE PREPARED!!!! If your going to record your interviewee please make sure your recorder is recording. And don't be nervous because its actually easy to interview someone than you think. Who knows the person your interviewing might be very nice and patient with you. Just don't be rude and most importantly don't be late. Thats all for now folks. Hopefully next time Ill be more prepared than I was today. Hope your guys Interview went better than mine did. Thanks for reading. ;P

police

There were lots of challenges which i faced while i was doing my interview. I was nervous. I reacted by looking at the environment. First, time in my life i talked in law voice. I suppose to remember all the questions by heart because when he was answering i had to look down in my question sheet and ask another one. watch out they like to talk a lot, you don't want to disturb them when they are talking.

I had great success in my interview. Mr.John understood me, he knew that i had accent behind my English. He was very helpful interviewee. I ask them how they got involve in there career, is it fun to work, why have they choose this topic and not any other topic. Always node or say really, ya, muhum ro something and keep smilling then they will know you are very interested in what you are doing.

Just be on time and dress appropriately. shake your hand before starting the intrview, give your introduction, why this project is important for you. Ask them if you can take pictures of them and the office.

I-Search--Networking and Interviewing

As we talked about in class, one of the easiest ways to meet interviewees and get advice is to consult your personal network of friends, acquaintances, and friends of friends. Certainly, the ubiquity of social media tools like Facebook and Twitter makes it easier and easier to meet and network with people you might not otherwise consult. Another such network is the classroom blog. As you work to find interviewees and write up your findings and experiences, you will be sharing your successes and challenges on the blog.

POSTS: (150-200 words); LABLES: Period, I-Search Interviews

1. You are expected to post about your experiences AT LEAST three times—once for each interview. You can post on the blog site at any point up to the interview due date. Consider blogging about one of the following:
1. Challenges in the interviewing process—if you can’t find someone to interview, you should reach out and ask for help. Also, if you are not sure what to ask or are not sure what expectations there are, this is perfect place to get ideas and answers.
2. Successes in the interviewing process—if you have a terrific interview, this is a great place to share your experience. Talk about what went well. What questions did you ask that led to interesting conversation? Be reflective. Reading about your success can be informative to others who are having less success in the moment. Remember, this process is full of ups and downs. It is important to celebrate the ups.
3. Advice about the interviewing process—you will, as you progress through the project, realize what works for you. If it works for you, you should share it so that others can use your ideas.

RESPONSES: (50-75 words)

2. You are expected to respond to other peoples’ experiences AT LEAST six times—two times during each interviewing process. Respond to something specific that your peers write about. Your should be able to use their words in your post (for instance, “When you said that ‘the questions you asked about money’ didn’t lead to much useful information,’ I could relate because…”). Remember:
1. Your responses should be supportive. DO NOT RESPOND TO A POST WITH HOSTILITY.
2. Make sure to respond to a post that does not have many responses. If someone took the time to write a post, they deserve some sort of response.
3. Be inclusive. You should respond to a DIVERSITY of people. You cannot respond to one person more than once (for credit).

imperialism

Political sciences professor , Dr. Franz J. T. Lee writes about the occurrences in North America, that is directly affecting Venezuela. The USA is an imperialist country in the epoch of globalization, it is an arch-capitalist State. South America threatened by global corporate imperialism highest stage of capitalism. Therefore, to fight for socialism,Venezuela cannot be anti imperialist and pro-capitalist at the same time.

Here are some aspects of the current capitalist economic collapse of imperialism in North America and its global consequences, also for Venezuela. Global ruling classes and their corresponding loyal Quislings are trying to halt the collapse of world capitalism, of the cosmic flow of modern history.Terrrorist are trauncating the straight forward proletarian transcedental crossing of the Rubicon seperating workers from corporate barbarism faced by a total, sytemic collapse with all their military and economic might. From all over the USA is threatning Venezuela.

The Tunisian Islamists's Imperialism

FLORENCE -The novel characteristic of the first peaceful popular revolution to topple in the dictatorship in the Arab world, that there is nothing Islamic about it.

The young tunisian street peddler who triggered the revolt by publicly and burn himself that reminds us the Vietnamese Buddhist monks in 1963 and Jan Palach in Czechoslovakia in 1969.

Even in this sacrificial act, there is nothing religious:No green or black turban, No Allah Akbar, No calls to Jihad(struggle). It was instead an individual, desperate and absolute protest without the world on paradise. Suicide in this case was the last act of freedom aimed at shaming the dictator. In the street demonstrations, there is no call for islamic state, no white shroud put by protesters in front of bayonets as in Tehran in 1978. There were rasicism. Instead, the protesters were calling for freedom, democracy and multi-party election. But they want to get rid of the kleptocratic ruling family so they don't have to listen to them anymore.

AT the end, when the real "Islamist" leaders returned from exile in the West (yes they were in the West, not in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia). They like Rached Ghannouchi, spoke of elections, coalition government and stability while keeping a low profile.

Have the Islamics disappeared? No. but most of them became democrists in North Africa. True, fring groups have followed the path of nomadic global jihad and are roaming the Sahel in search of hostages, but they have no real support in the population. That`s why they went to the desert. Nevertheless, these high-way robbers are still brabded as a strategic threat by Western governments at a loss to design a long-tem policy and the other islamic given up and closed there doors, pursuing a pious, conservative, but apolitical way of life. Now there is no other way between democracy and dictatorship.

The Tunisian revolt helps clarify a reality about Arab life: he said the terrorism we've seen over the past few years, while its Utopian millennialism, doesn't stem from the real societies of the Middle East. More islamic radicals can be found in the West homes.

But make sure to get a different picture about every Islamic country because, The post-Islamic generation is more visible in North Africa than in Egypt or Yemen, not to speak of Pakistan, which is a collapsing country. But everywhere the generation is leading to the Middle East that does not believe on Islamic characters. The past of course has been the West sees authoritarian regimes as the best Bulwark agaist Islamic. That was the rarionale behind its support for ther cancellation of it`s elections in Algeria in 1992, for turing a blind eye on the rigging of the Egyptian elections and for ignoring the choice of the Palestinians in Gaza.
