Defining Discipline

Q1

The most interesting feature in this chapter is the sense of ethical responsibility that it lays and how it uses credible sources to give a sound argumentation. Academic discipline has helped in how we can understand the world in a better way. It has also facilitated in understanding the constant flux in academic discipline the conditions, its attributes and the standards of negotiation. I have been able to learn that academic discipline is made of up different branches that are complicated at the higher education level as it involves distinct discourse of the community with specific styles, vocabularies, and channels of communication (59). There are more formal aspects that clearly outline the circle of professionals in different platforms. I have been able to learn what is expected of me and how I should conduct myself and apply the various techniques that accordingly. Throughout the academic discipline, I have been able to familiarize myself with jargons in the disciple I encounter helping me pay special attention to the specialized terminologies making me better equipped (62).

Q 2

It is true to say that generally most academic disciple with time they have developed over numerous generations. This is because demands for learning its convictions have increased as it is seen to be more important to be aware of the academic discipline that makes an individual be successful. Additionally, there has been a shift in focus in the informal differences to the formal ones that has led to the search of the intellectual differences that are shared in common. By having this discipline it is true to say that there has been academic specialization and career differentiation that has created a great opportunity to individuals to discover their abilities and how well they are connected.

Q 3

The documentary addresses the issue of nutrition as it is important to everyone’s life (Global Oneness Project, 0; 47). The fundamental aim of the project is to supply enough food for the community to support the health and the economy of the west California to all kinds of people. This is because the liquor stores had replaced the markets (Global Oneness Project, 1; 12). The solution to the problem is to encourage people to embrace local farms and urban gardens. The disciplinary approach that can be used in West Oakland is to build a culture that can understand the connection of the culture and health in order to achieve sustainable agricultural practices that can regenerate the community.

Q 4

It is particularly interesting that the urban people can be encouraged to have gardens in order to have healthy food that can assist in the fight off chronic food shortages and related diseases (Global Oneness Project, 1;30). It is true to say that such a practice will work wonders for the people residing within the area because they can be able to produce fresh foods to people who do not have access to it as they heavily depend on processed foods (Global Oneness Project, 4;44). I tend to disagree with the notion that urban farming will be the way of life because people have different priority in their life and they may not consider farming at any cost.

Q 5

The interdisciplinary approach can be used through research in order to make the urban people embrace farming. By stating its benefits that come with eating fresh farm produce rather than depending on the processed food will be of importance in achieving the project. Considering training to the group of people will also provide insightful information to the people (68).
