SOCIO EMOTIONAL LEARNING

I will begin my article by stating the <s>theme</s> topic of my paper, which is Social Emotional Learning (SEL). SEL is a trend in the education field that aims to influence the educational curriculums in order to broaden the limits of the subjects taught in schools in order to also include and train the so-called soft skills which include: self-management, managing emotions, controlling impulses, and setting goals. This <s>current,</s> ("paper" or "article," if referring to your paper, or "movement" if referring to the SEL trend) focuses on the importance of social awareness, like seeing things from other people's perspectives, showing empathy, and appreciating diversity. All of <s>these,</s> these ideas pair with the objective in mind of educating "the whole <s>child",</s> "the whole child": not only the mind but <s>also</s> the emotions.

In the first paragraph, I will include the thesis statement of my paper, which is that school education <s>shouldn't</s> (if this is a formal academic article, try to limit the use of contractions like "shouldn't" and replace them with the full words: i.e. "should not") be limited only to teach academic subjects (cognitive aspect) but it must also encompass the socio-emotional aspect.

This topic is relevant for me as a teacher because I would like to help my students to develop themselves not only academically, (insert comma) but <s>also</s> in all areas of life so that they can lead happy and meaningful lives.

I will include some evidence taken from scientific papers that support my thesis, to finally finish off the paper with conclusions and insights to be developed in future articles.

Sensitive Topic about Policy

<s>There were so many</s> Many protests and <s>loots</s> lootings <s>that</s> happened in the US recently. First, I hope that racism problems can be solved, society goes back in peace, and people return to a healthy life. But I am afraid at least for decades the racism problems will still be a barely closed scar for the US. There will not be a civil rights activist like 60 <s>yrs</s> years ago, who can unite and lead all the different vulnerable groups to fight together for the same goal.

Remember that sentence because the upper-upper class(1%) in the US knows the principle too. They do not want an activist to appear again who can unite people, challenge them and fight for benefits. So there is a smart way they created to isolate different groups and prevent a great leader emerging. It is ' Tag the groups'. I will give a metaphor to make things clear. If you can imagine, the US social structure is a rectangular paper. <s>The original version </s>(See note below)<s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);"> </s><s> is that you</s> draw a horizontal line across the paper. The upper part is 1% class who owns the means of production and operates for profit. The lower part is all of the rest, yes, the middle class <s>is</s> still belongs to this part, because they do not have production resources. Back to the point, the 'Tag the groups' strategy is that you draw several vertical lines in the lower part of the paper. These isolated small parts <s>can be </s> represent different identities: African American, Asian American, Muslim American, LGBT, etc.

Now(,) the upper-upper class can give benefits and implement <s>it</s> them though government to the lower level. But the upper-class enforces <s>the beneficial policy in a differential way </s> these policies differently between the tagged groups. For example, they gave a kind of welfare to Asian Americans but did not provide it to other groups <s>or not even gave it</s><s style="color: rgb(102, 185, 102);"> </s><s>to other groups</s>. The 'Tagged groups' will start to have a conflict of interest. They will compare the beneficial policies offered by other disadvantaged groups, and each group might think they are the most underprivileged who should get more benefits than others.

The richest and the most powerful <s>ppl</s> people always want to keep <s>the</s> society in the way they want, no matter in which country. It is something they <s>Something they did, </s>did; sometimes you can observe it in real-life(,) but <s>something</s> sometimes you can't.
