Integrated Essay “Problem Solving”
According to the reading, the author explicates “Solving Problem” in the several steps and their breaking points for each steps. The first step is to distinguish whether information is relevant or irrelevant. But, it is difficult to figure out this process sometimes, because of “Functional fixedness”, which allowing preconceived notions and even prejudices to color the facts. The second step is to speculate the alternatives for a solution, but it is also limited by prior experiences, so called, “Mental Sets”. And, the final step in the process is to select the most adoptable solution among the alternatives.
In the lecture, the professor talk about the role of breaks in “Solving Problem”. Initially, she refer to the episode that F. A. Kekule solved his problem about the carbon atoms by dream as taking a break, and she proposes a dilemma that “ Were the dreamers really asleep or were they relaxed but awake when they solved the problem?” Finally, she brings two explanations with examples for reason why a break supports problem solving while we’re awake. One possibility is that during the break, information may appear that provides a solution, the other is just to emphasize the value of a break as the role of keep out of an ineffective pattern of thinking.

You are planning to study abroad. What do you think you will like and dislike about this experience? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
As advances in technology moving forward quickly, the boundaries between two un-relevant countries have increasingly been blurred. For example, the development of transportation, especially an airplane, allows a large number of common people to study abroad more easily and efficiently. By those things happened, faculty to interact with other countries and cultures has been a more vital factor in the global society. As far as I’m concerned, studying abroad has a lot of advantages that outweigh shortcomings in the various aspects. I am going to claim just a few ones out of them.
In the first place, if people go study abroad, they can go through the vast experiences such as learning about the different cultures, making new friends and getting a lot chances to learn other language. It is undoubtedly helpful for their life that people can go through fresh and exotic cultures and also hang out with new friends. Most important of all, people can learn other language more easily and effectively in the world more internationalized.
Secondly, in personal views, studying abroad is one of the most desires in my life. I stayed in East Lansing, Michigan as well as Cambridge in England for one and half year, when I was a young age. Moreover, I graduated from a foreign language high school in South-Korea. Those oversea experiences encourage me to fulfill desires to study abroad. Even though it seems to be more lonely and solitary, I’m willing to get more chance to have knowledge in the wider world.
Based on what has been mentioned above, I have explained at least two reasons why I’m in favor of studying abroad. Of course, others can think that studying abroad is costly and time consuming. However, from my personal aspect and experience, I think studying abroad is an indispensable and inevitable choice in a global society.

In the reading passage, author argue that care takers usually have three ways to use power in disciplining children. Firstly, parents’ corporal punishing to their children precipitates another negative effects to the children such as a huge amount of anger from their parents. Second strategy is the withholding of affection. And, finally, management techniques use a combination of praise and approval with explanation for their children.
According to the lecture, the professor said that discipline found Coopersmith was related with self-esteem. Power and withholding of affection had something do to with children who verified low self-esteem, while management techniques were associated with high self-esteem. He also told that physical punishment was never accepted in any cases regarding psychology. However, it is possible that when discipline is necessary, setting limits with negative consequences that are consistently enforced seems to promote healthy development of self-esteem in children.
