Central to the effort is helping students to learn to listen to society as it _8_ its need for change.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has _9_ 120 MIT science and engineering students with a thorough six-day experience featuring highly interactive teaching and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem _10_. They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, _11_ with uncertainty, working within a diverse community, and relationship communication. Most discussions and activities _12_ in assigned small “groups”. These groups provide supportive, safe environments that _13_ learning. It is meant that students _14_ new skills and attitudes.

It is interesting to 1 on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jeans with holes? We would think that he might be a student as that is a 2 started by young people. A(n) 3 lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age dont dress so 4 , and she probably has money, too. And that man with a 5 suit walking over there with an umbrella? A businessman, of course, and 6 English. Why English? Well, he is 7 dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his 8 umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly 9 . She was watched with 10 from the moment she walked into the store. As she 11 the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she finally decided 12 a small purchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or 13 . The next day she went back, dressed well, 14 of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper 15 , told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are 16 by clothes. Some people argue that 17 other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a persons appearance is a(n) 18 of who he is. An untidy person may rightly be thought of as a person of low social 19 , or even low quality. “Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes arent 20 .

The problem with overindulgent parenting is that it 1 the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It also keeps him from making his own 2 and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to 3 to get something for himself. He never has to 4 any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and hes 5 of all his toys, this child is “spoiled” into believing that life will provide him everything 6 his own effort. And when he 7 he will expect everyone to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of 8 is oversubmissiveness. An oversubmissive parent 9 to all his childs demands, often because he fears the child wont love him if he doesnt. He just isnt able to give a(n) 10 “No”. The parent has no time to himself, cant get the child to do anything without an argument, and has to listen to whining 11 . When hes had 12 , he explodes in anger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels 13 for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they wont be allowed to take 14 of other people.The child with an oversubmissive parent doesnt learn to accept a “No” from other people, or to 15 limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the 16 threat: “If you loved me, youd do what I want.” The child “spoiled” by oversubmissive parenting grows up into a teenager and adult without
