We all know that we learn something new everyday.
Doesn't matter what is it may, how to cook, how to work in a job, and so on.
This week the word agency is definitely something that our inquiry class has
done. When you hear of the word agency, I'm sure you think of a business. Well
let's define it first. Agency means a business or organization that provides a
particular service typically one that involves organizing transactions between
two parties. I think of my inquiry class as a business and my classmates and I
as the agents. We all participate in class and bring in new information that
may aid one another. We are there to support one another in our first year
experience at SCSU and combine our ideas to make it one. The class is a
business that we keep together and slowly create a structure to further our
career paths. For example, this week we read articles and poured the main ideas
or strategies that may help one of our classmates in their studies. Building
this foundation helps all us become one.
This week in my social issues class we have been learning about
different strategies of defining. For example, there is ostensive definitions
meaning when you actually point at something to show what the word means. If I
say what does a chair mean, someone could point to one and that would be
ostensive definition. There also is enumerative definition, which is defining
by providing specific examples of what the word refers to. For example, Actor
means Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Nicholas Cage, etc... There are other ways of
defining words, but these two were the ones of the top of my head!
Hope you learned a new way to define words after reading this!
