Reference no: EM132442073

you are tasked with the following:

1. Read and annotate "Brainology" then compose a reply to the reading of no less than 300 words that: introduces the title and author, summarizes the reading briefly, defines one of the arguments or persuasive points within the reading that the author is making, responds to that argument in relation to one of our class themes using specific evidence from the text (i.e. Do you agree or disagree; why? Is there something you would add; why? Is there something you object to; why? Is the argument derivative of a logical fallacy in the author's work; how so?), and uses proper MLA in-text citations* for your quoted evidence.

If you are unsure about your response to the reading, or if you are unsure where to start you response, you may consider either of the following questions to help you get started:

Question A. Is it possible to improve on one's natural intelligence and abilities or is the individual "stuck" with what they're given? If improvement is possible, what must be done? What is the "growth mindset" and what are some examples of situations from your own, or someone else's life, that demonstrate the difference between a "growth mindset" and a "fixed mindset"?

Question B. Are we in U.S/Western society influenced more to adopt a "growth" or "fixed" mindset? How so? What are the individual and societal effects of these separate mindsets? What can or should be done by individuals, groups, the public at large, the government, to promote a growth mindset? What would the improvement be to individuals and society if more of us adopted a growth mindset?
