Marina’s parents were going out for the evening. Before they left, they reminded 15-year-old Marina not to leave the house. Since Marina knew her parents would be out late, she had a plan to sneak out to be with some friends for a couple of hours. She found her mother’s car keys and drove her car. They all met at the mall, and it wasn’t long before the girls challenged each other to shoplift. Marina knew it wasn’t right but thought she could get away with it. They split up and promised to meet back at the same spot in 30 minutes with their items. It was only minutes later that Marina was caught walking out of a store wearing a sweater she didn’t pay for. Which of Marina’s behaviors were unruly?

driving her mom’s car
taking her mom’s keys
disobeying her parents
being caught shoplifting
just pick on..? lol

On the doctoral journey, you will need to adjust your thinking and perspective. it is inevitable that your world view will be challenged. how you respond to those instances of challenging remains in your control. this may sound daunting and even seem to be unacceptable, but it is the inexorable result of engaging in "deep thinking" while becoming an academic. remember, you are not just becoming a researcher, but you are also becoming a learned person (an academic) who will be charged with the responsibility of acting as a gatekeeper of knowledge and knowledge development. what distinguishes an infant academic from a mature academic? explain. how does the above biblical challenge to move toward mature thinking parallel the increased responsibility for knowledge and knowledge development that comes with the earning of a doctoral degree? explain.
