These two terms are quite confusing, and since they both start with the word “mind”, many think that they have the same meaning. However, Wiersema et al. (2015) inform us that mindset and mindfulness are very distinct words, yet at the same time, they can effectively complement each other. Educators who would like to introduce these approaches to students or their colleagues should first have a clear understanding of how the two words differ, overlap and interplay with each other. According to Lauria (2018), your mindset affects the people you are working with based on how you approach them. On the other hand, your mindfulness guides the relationship that you develop with your awareness. Either way, both mindset and mindfulness involve the working of the mind, and they influence how we interact with our colleagues. Mindfulness entails being aware of our thoughts, emotions and our feeling, both physically and mentally. Albrecht (2018) terms it as a form of self-meditation…

The three rhetorical appeals are always used to persuade the audience. Ethos, also known as appeal to ethics, is applied to resonate with an audience through the power or reliability of the convincer regardless of how a person may be famous.

However, more citizens still say that the country has not taken enough steps towards making sure that there is some progress on racial equality.

Another reason as to why I would recommend a resource recovery facility in my neighborhood is that the recovery process aims at sanitation and hygiene at large.  This means that the waste in terms of urine and feces can be converted into fertilizer full of nutrients and urea. A low sewer system surrounds my neighborhood, and the resource recovery plant will help in this sector; hence a healthy community will be realized. Therefore, the recovery facility is essential since it will help boost sanitation within the neighborhood. Conversion of waste to power as it is with the case of the recovery facility will enhance greenhouse gas reduction. It is common knowledge that decomposing waste emits methane gas, which yields to carbon dioxide, a poisonous contributor to climate change. Conversion of the waste to energy will result in less emission of methane gas, thus reducing climate change. Therefore, it is crucial to have a resource recovery facility in the vicinity since climate change issues will be handled appropriately.
