Reflective Writing #2

ZHO” Zayed higher organization” is a center for the rehabilitation for those ranging from children to adults. At the beginning it felt weird for me knowing that i and my classmates were obligated to visit the ZHO and it felt like I just had to go by the instructions given by the course to achieve good grades (act of Contractarianism).

First we had to go to a special section where they bring a bunch of kids and adults to evaluate them, this room is special for evaluation of their different abilities and skills, to later on separate them into different groups to be is one class,  they can’t make decisions on their own. It’s like an IQ test that tests these children on how they interact with each other and see what their interested in.

 At that time I had to get to know them and try to interact with them on their level of understanding, it was a bit tough as to they did not know who I was and neither did I know them, they started taking advantage of me as I was told to them I was a teacher, and they had to do what I said since I was a new guy they though id fall for their tricks it was amazing to see such things happen on the first day.

I felt like I could get along with them on a local level, even though it was hard to talk to them and get things through to them, and they always changed their minds they always wanted something then no they didn’t it was a bit frustrating, so I acted like I understood them. I realized that their some children and teenagers that were in a very introverted state and I had to and talk to them or they wouldn’t have come to me at all, this is what you can say utilitarianism, I know it was wrong of me to pretend I knew what they were saying, but at then we carried out conversations and they were happy.

Now in a place like this there were things I did not expect ZHO is a rehabilitations center, and for some of the instructors had to use aggression in the tone of their voice to let the students know who’s boss and they had to obey direct orders., I never thought that this would be applicable to those with disabilities such as the students had over there, it didn’t feel right to me at all, violence breeds violence so I thought it was wrong, and I felt it was just wasting their time. This act of Egoism from the instructors I feel that the reaction of some of the instructors is just to earn thing living, I think I these instructors should be replaced with egoistic instructors should be a person who is a utilitarian. Someone who could cope and so much patience.
