Home Learning Assignment

Before I start, I would like to wish fellow Hwa Chong -nians happy home learning!! We rarely get this opportunity to learn at home so let's make the best out of it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My learning style is logical, but I am unable to find instructions on it. I have chosen to do interpersonal instead, which is my next highest learning style.

I have interviewed by mother and got her opinions on crime and punishment.


ME : What are some of your opinions on crime??

My Mum : Well, committing a crime is a serious offence. There are many types of crimes, such as stealing, cheating , murder and many more. There are serious consequences for people who commit crimes. Someone may commit a crime out of anger, desperation, desire or other reasons.

ME: (Nod my head)

ME: What are your views on punishment then?

My Mum:Punishment is about teaching offenders a lesson so that they do not repeat what they did in the future. Not everyone who commits a crime is punished and not everyone who is punished no longer commit a crime. Some people who commit crimes are left unpunished as they hide evidence from the authorities successfully. However, they will feel guilty deep down inside.

My Mum: It is important and vital that there is communication in a relationship. Without proper communication, the relationship will most probably turn out to be a failure. Communication is important in everything we do. A true relatiponship requires more than just communication though. It requires passion, commitment, care and much more. Both parties must not only communicate with each other but they must communicate well with each other. If not, there may be disagreements, resulting in arugments and fights.

ME: Thank you for your time!

Hey, that was a nice piece of journalistic work. Your mum emphasize a great deal about communications. Indeed, communication is important. Without communications, misunderstandings cannot be cleared, disputes cannot be resolved and mistrust may deepen. Silence, sometimes, is not golden when communications is needed.

Have you ever attempted to try to open a dialogue with a complete stranger around you? That is a great challenge in communications. You will feel great if you could strike up a nice conversation with a stranger next to you. That, my friend, is communication in the highest order!

Yes, communication is very important. Perhaps you could share your views on certain topics in class.

Maybe you should have told your mum a gist of LTTS and then followed it up with your interview, it would have made more sense then for her and you.
