Blog For Presentations on Tuesday

Kate D.
The main points of her presentation were that giving back doesn't always have to be something life changing, and when you give back to someone it positively affects you too. I liked that she put in there that you don't have to change someone's life to be considered to be doing a good deed because when people think about it they usually relate it to taking someone's life and completely changing it for the better. She had research, which gave her a lot of credibility. I thought it was interesting the fact that she had physical research on it because not a lot of people will think there is solid research on a topic like this, and it was more than the just one study done. There was multiple evidence of research. I also liked that she made a website and that people can contact her if they need to. The thing that we can take away from the argument is that it is a good thing to be helpful and kind to others; it not only benefits the other person, but it benefits you too.

He did his experiment over creating new habits and if you can really form one in thirty days. He challenged himself with three things: working out everyday, eating breakfast, and flossing everyday. He talks about how it depends on the person if they can really form a habit in thirty days, and there was a fact that it ranged from 18-254 days for people to from a habit that participated in an experiment. This was good evidence of how it varies. I found it interesting how he gave us tips to form a habit and that he found benefits in the habits he had chosen to do. This could be helpful for people to who are trying to pick up a new habit that can be good for their life. From this presentation, we should take away the reasons why forming habits can benefit us and how we can form them. You can also see what you should avoid when you think you are going in the direction of forming a bad habit.

  2. I agree that its important to be conscious of the habits we form so that we can benefit ourselves as much as possible.
