The mind is geared up to visual images, so that you remember more easily when a pattern impinges on your brain. That is why it is important to make your notes look interesting and individualistic, so that every pages is not just a block of text in your mind. Use creative pattern note taking, at least initially.
A. Advantage Of Creative Patterns
Central idea is clear
Relative importance is clear
Links are clear
Helps recall:
relation of ideas
forms a pattern—helps memory.
Easy to add to
Helps make connections
Improves critical faculties.
B. Method
Final pattern emerges at the end:
might look untidy
content not appearance is important
can re-draw if necessary.
Print in lower case and capitals—clearer
Link with labelled lines according to relations of ideas
Create freely for spontaneity—not hesitantly:
try not to hover over the paper
don’t try too hard to structure artificially—natural flow of ideas
By not providing adequate public health care, by acquiescing in an unjust social system, and by withholding resources, babies die unnecessarily. These are typically right-wing policies—moral majority policies. When a premature child’s prognosis is good, and the infant will be loved and cared for, then efforts should be made to save it. The disagreement is when the risk of serious damage and disability is high, and when viable children are subsequently condemned to die by inadequate care and resources. To insist on preserving infant life only to cause suffering before an inevitable early death is hypocrisy, and Christians should know what their God said about that when he lived on earth.
