Part - I

Devising Strategies
1. Believing Game: The believing game is the mirror image of the doubting game or critical
thinking. Its the disciplined practice of trying to be as welcoming as possible to every
idea we encounter. It helps to underestimate the loopholes present.
Strategies which make believing game are:
1. It posses with three main thinking notions of believing factor like from where the
information got outsourced, is the factor reliable, Is it easy to believe the information
processed.
2. Believing game is processed when things get awry and proper judgment and commitment
is required.
3. Ideas are accepted which are tempted for not to reject.
4. Stories, allegories and metaphor try to estimate the thinking capacity.
5. Language at times plays a common role estimating the believing factor.

Doubting Game: the doubting game represents the kind of thinking most widely honored and
taught. Its the disciplined practice of trying to be as skeptical and analytic as possible with every
idea we encounter.
1. When the doubt is introspected it is methodological, provisional and conditional.
2. Doubting person always gets intrigued with every doubt represent.
3. Doubting always leads to better conclusion and result.

Once a person has viewed a signifier they attach meaning to it, dependent on their frame
of reference. This meaning is known as the signified. If we look back to the different types of
signs we are able to draw correlations between the sign, signifier and signified.
Arbitrary Signs - This type of sign bare no similarity to the signified. The signifier for
example a word, money has no physical resemblance to the actual money a person uses to pay
for goods. However because of learned association and language commonality a person
recognizes the word for as the physical item. However there is a language and literacy barrier
when it comes to arbitrary signs in relation to words as it is acknowledged that the viewer needs
to understand the written language.
Iconic Signs these can best be described as the most direct signs, as they reflect the
signified and bear near exact similarity to the real object. In other words, the signifier is an exact
representation of the signified.
Symbolic Signs are viewed as being trickier as there is no obvious correlation between
the signifier and the signified. These signs often culturally determine or universal for instance the
sign of red circle with a horizontal white line through the middle is a sign known for no entry,
but again if a person has not person exposed to it prior of have knowledge of it, will not be able
to comprehend meaning.
Indexical Sign signs that carry some form of casual relation or cause and effect. One
associates the signified object with an even or action. An example would be an image of a
snowflake implying snow or cold weather.
Having discussed the various types of signs, it should be noted that it can be quite tricky
to categories the signs into one sign type. If we look at the indexical sign example of the

snowflake, we could quite easily pair it with being an iconic sign as it bears resemblance to the
physical object. We could also place it under a symbolic sign as a representation of Christmas as
many countries that snow over the festive season associate snow with Christmas and this has
seemed to become somewhat universal even in countries where it does not snow.
So before analyzing it is important to be aware that not only does meaning vary with signs but
also sign type.

In this article the basic summation I can do are all work and no play, make a child a
dull. So to make active child need to be playful in his activities and approaches. This playful
activity is required in all age groups of children. When guiding children to make decisions and
choices what is our duty of care and responsibilities (consider in your answer health and safety).
When guiding children to make decisions it should be promoted and appreciated according to
the age level of a children an d extra care need to be taken little ones so that they dont hamper

their while eating anything and with few older children decision need to be taken to engross them
in active and exercising engaging activities.
