g. What is the role of cognitions or thoughts?
According to Glasser, thoughts are just one aspect of "Total Behavior," which includes "acting, thinking, feeling, and physiology" (the William Glasser Institute, 2010). All human behavior is Total Behavior, and all human behavior is chosen. However, acting and thinking are the only two components of behavior a person can directly control. Therefore, a patient must indirectly control their feelings and physiology by directly controlling their thoughts and behaviors (Glasser & Glasser, 2010).
IV. What specific techniques are used in this theory?
Choice theory is based primarily on "Seven Caring Habits" and "Ten Axioms" (the William Glasser Institute, 2010). The Seven Caring Habits are: "supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting, and negotiating differences" with creativity (the William Glasser Institute, 2010). The Ten Axioms are: we can only control our own behavior, we can only offer information, all chronic mental health issues stem from relationship issues, the relationship issue at fault is always occurring in the present, what happened in the past affects who we are today but the only way to solve current problems is to change current behaviors, we must create a "Quality World" for ourselves and satisfy our needs by satisfying "the pictures in our Quality World," "all we do is behave," all behavior is Total Behavior, "all Total Behavior is chosen" but we can only directly control our actions and thoughts, and "all Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable" (the William Glasser Institute, 2010).
V. What current resources are available for training in the theory?
The William Glasser Institute offers two main training programs: the "choice theory / reality therapy certification" (CT/RTC), and "faculty training" (the William Glasser Institute, 2010). CT/RTC takes 18 months and consists of five steps: basic training, basic practicum, advanced training, advanced practicum, and final certification (the William Glasser Institute, 2010). Basic intensive training is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about personal choice and relationship building.

24). The findings of this study challenge accepted notions concerning the efficacy of the teacher-initiated initiation -- response -- feedback (IRF) sequences that are delivered in whole group teacher-fronted environments. Based on his findings, Baynham argues that "teacher and students are robustly claiming interactive space in classroom talk, bringing the outside into discussion. This data, drawn from narrative and classroom data in case studies of Adult ESOL classrooms, points to
Essay Topic Examples The Role of Socialization in Communication Barriers Between Genders This essay topic would explore how gender roles and stereotypes that are instilled through socialization impact communication between men and women. It would look at the ways in which societal expectations dictate conversational norms and styles, potentially creating barriers to effective communication and mutual understanding. Biological Factors and Their Influence on Gender Communication
Language and Thinking Language is the one aspect, which distinguishes human beings from lower species of life (Faccone et al. 2000). Sternberg (1999 as qtd in Faccone et al.) lists its properties as including communication, arbitrary symbolism, regular structure, structure at multiple levels, generation and production and dynamism. Sternberg assumes that language is most likely acquired naturally from the environment where a person is raised as an infant. The stages seem
Language & Cognition The relationship between language and cognition continues to be an area of science that is heavily studied and for which research builds in exciting ways (Aitchison, 2007). New learnings about cognition and language are intimately tied to technological advances as neuropsychologists and others probe the human brain ever more deeply and meaningfully (Aitchison, 2007). Language and lexicon. Language is understood to be the symbolic representation of human thought (Yule,
Language and Social Grouping Language is used differently in different geographic groups, ethnic, age, gender, and socioeconomic groups (Williams, 2010). Geographic groups use the same languages in different dialects that belong to the particular geographic regions. Within each language are many different dialects that have been formed with different geographic locations and cultures. Shared words, experiences, cultures, and expressions are ethnic and shared elements of the social fabric. Language of a common
Language and Sexuality from a Desire-Based Perspective Anthropology -- Language & Sexuality The broader theoretical treatment of the study of sexuality has long been recognized in the fields of linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics. Historically, sexuality has been discussed in sociocultural studies of language over the long-term. In fact, this work and the research it generated make up the emergent history and the scope of research on language and sexuality. This analytical discourse
