comes to gender, traditional culture norms are deeply ingrained in society. As society has

progress, attitudes towards women working outside the home has increase support. This support

is higher among women than men. College women expect to balance work and children, even

though some see it as an obstacle. There is also a more negative reaction toward working mothers

than father.  The majority of college student as does society that men are the main worker outside

Using Emotional Intelligence to help college students succeed in the workplace

This article focus on using emotional intelligence to help college student succeed not

just in the workplace, but also in their careers. It is not just our IQ, but the way we deal with

emotion that can make us successful in our careers and jobs. Understanding our emotion helps

us to careful assess and choose the right career. Unlike average or high IQs, emotional

intelligence can be taught, and perfected for one to have success. Emotional intelligence gives

one the skills to understand and deal with an individual’s emotions. This I believe can be used

to have sufficient job relationship with fellow employees and to handle customers. Overall,

the way we manage ourselves, and handle relationship with others can make us or break us.

            The implications of this article is that our understanding and skills in handling emotion 

is connected to our success in our careers and the workplace. If we understand and manage

ourselves well, and then we can also learn to understand and handle the emotions of another

individual. I believe we could solve minor issues and not allow them to become major issues

with individuals, with the understanding of emotional intelligence. It would also help

understand why some of our behaviors result in positive or negative in our daily lives.

Emotion and intelligence go hand and hand in our success in the workplace, is an important

implication the article focuses on.

The Role of Television and Family

The Role of Television and Family plays a significant role in college freshman that bring

intrinsic and extrinsic values. This post examines these two factors from early adolescence to

late adolescence. College freshmen have been socialize in their environment, peer, media, and

family. Working class parents encourage their children to choose a job for extrinsic reasons. 

Coming from a working class household, these type of parents want their children to have job for

security and good pay. Middle class parents want their children to choose a job for intrinsic

reasons. These parents are more concern if their child enjoys and is satisfied with their job. Our

environment and family shapes our values and aspirations for our future. Television is the close

second competitive in socializing adolescence  in their choice of jobs. Television is good in some

form as a educator, but distorts many jobs in the real world. However, television’s role is a major

factor, and shapes the values and aspirations of college freshmen today.

            The main points are the role of television and family and its influence in the intrinsic and

extrinsic values of college freshmen. Another main point is the difference in the class of the

parents and how they influence and mentor their children on careers and job choice. Television is

main point and major factor on children, and leans more a adolescence’s extrinsic values.

            The implications is that television and family will continue to be the two dominant forces

in an adolescence’s life. In terms of job and career choices, both will have already influence and

shape the values and aspirations on what type of job based on intrinsic and extrinsic values. The

journal implied and concur that there is a link between the same work values in parents as being

expressed by the college freshmen.
