    Reading Journal Component 4<\/h3>\r\n

    \"Multiple Intelligences\" by Fred Mednick<\/h4>\r\n

    #1: Linguistic<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    From the text, it describes \u201clinguistic intelligence\u201d as \u201c<\/span>sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Therefore, I would describe linguistic as meaning, having to do with language. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    #2: <\/span>Kinesthetic<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

    When I looked for \u201cKinesthetic\u201d online, all the answers had to do with \u201ckinesthetic learning.\u201d Dictionary.com defined \u201ckinesthesia\u201d as \u201cThe sensation of movement or strain in muscles, tendons, and joints; muscle sense.\u201d So it seems to me that the word has more to do with movement of the body, rather than just the body itself. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Therefore, I would describe kinesthetic as a type of learning involving the movement of the body. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    #3:<\/span> Amoral<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

    I recognize the word \u201cmoral,\u201d but I didn\u2019t know amoral before reading this. I do remember that the letter a at the beginning of a word means \u201cwithout.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Therefore, it would seem that the word amoral means without morals. The article presents this as a neutral thing, rather than a good or bad thing. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n
