Analytical Reflection.
[ send me this paper ]

examine an emotionally charged phase, " rape is

unsuccessful males," and determine a method to
respond to the statement. An initial response
to such a phrase is an emotional one. Through
using an "analytical reflective method," one can
learn to make a studied and deliberate response,
rather than a reactive one.
