Remembering, Retelling, and Reliving (Page 36) By the age of four or five, most youngsters have constructed dozens of scripts based on daily experiences; moreover, they have heard dozens of stories from their elders and perhaps scores from the communications media that happen to be prevalent in their societies. No doubt, the number of scripts and stories continues to mount in the years thereafter; and as, already suggested these become more and more complex, subtle and ambiguous. I would not be surprised if more adults in Western society posses a hundred or more regular scripts and have internalized several hundred stories.Howard GardnerLeading Minds: An Anatomy of Leadership

My life as a Case Study An African-American Male named Wilbert has a sick wife and 2 kids. His wife is recurrently in and out of the hospital. His wife who has her Masters in Business Administration cannot work because of her many illnesses. Financially, this is causing a strain on the household. Even though Wilbert and his family are below the poverty line, they have decided to invest in the minds and extracurricular activities of their 2 children. Both Children are in private school and participate in privilege children extracurricular activities such as guitar lessons, piano lessons, after school scholastic programs, ballet and tap lessons, etc. As a result of the parents financial choices, occasionally the electricity and water would be cut out, the pantry and refrigerator at times would be sparse, the children experienced isolation and bullying, and in extreme cases the house would be put up for foreclosure. How would you classify Wilbert and his wifes decision on their investments? Bad Unethical, Good Unethical, Bad Ethical, Good unethical?

My Life as a Case Study A young African-American male name Adam is going to a small private military school. His mother has been ill for a while, and his father is oftentimes unemployed due to the time he takes off to care for his wife. One of his teachers is constantly harassing Adam in class about the financial state of his parents and seemingly decrepit state of his shoes. This is negatively affecting Adams self-esteem. Additionally, the same teacher has attempted to molest Adam on several occasions after school. However, the teacher is also the youth minister, basketball coach, and nephew by marriage to the pastor and founder of the school. Unfortunately, Adams family and the pastors family are not on the best of terms. Adam is stressed and confused on what to do. If Adam does not tell, he may be putting others at risks due to the many positions the teacher holds. If Adam does tell, he could be responsible for breaking a man from his wife and son or being expelled because of the teachers family ties to the top administration of the church and school. 1. What should Adam do?2. What are some of the other possible consequences of his actions?

Conflicting Stories Many DeathsSicknessPovertyLow Self-EsteemTHE BLACK CHURCH/SCHOOL EXPERIENCE!!

Growing up, I was always told that God can any and everything. He controls it all. So being aware of a greater power or being at all, but I was oftentimes confused as to why it felt that everything was bad was happening to us, specifically my family. Before the of 10 my sister and I had been to more funerals of our own family members, than to birthday parties. We lived in the projects14
