Socio-Cultural and Psychoanalisys PerspectivesIntroduction The field of Psychology is so diverse, it has many research methods and has developed many perspectives to explain or justify human behaviour. The selected perspectives for analysing the Tumi's case study are socio-cultural perspective and psychoanalysis perspective. In the case study, it can easily be understood that a university student´s behaviour has changed due to the socio-cultural issue. The series of strange experiences as reported by Tumi were affecting her behaviour and can further substantiate the socio-cultural idea. Such as, seeing her grandmother, who had died years ago, was walking towards her from the kitchen door. The astonishing moment for Tumi was when her sister couldn't feel the presence of her grandmother in the kitchen. Also, having been brought up by her aunt due to her poor relationship with her mother can explain psycho dynamically some of her behaviours. The loss of that maternal figure as well as the robbery and lack of support from her family |

The Allegory of Animal FarmOrwell uses allegory to help express his concerns regarding his twentieth century context in a way that is clearly understood by his audience. Using a variety of allegorical devices in his satire, Animal Farm, Orwell creates an insightful allegory that explores the consequences of communism through the Russian Revolution. It is an extended metaphor which symbolizes notions that can be religious, political, moral or historical. The purpose of an allegory is to inform an audience about something whilst at the same time critiquing its contents. In this case, by using such a text type to embody his views on the Russian Revolution, George Orwell satirizes and represents individuals and events in history in his dystopian novel Animal Farm. The use of allegory can be viewed as a simpler and easier approach to clearly conveying the author's intended messages. Historical events can be put into another context in an allegory, making the event much more appealing. Old Major's speech alludes |

In the play, Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is a noble man in Scotland who is well-respected for his bravery and loyalty. However, when Macbeth comes upon three witches who give him a prophecy that predicts his future ruling over Scotland, Macbeth's dark thoughts and ambitions replaces his moral character. The witches' prophecy influences Macbeth to betray the people around him and commit crimes that would have never been committed by a sane man. His unstable mindstate allows him to be easily manipulated by his second prophecy which consequently leads to his fall.

Eyes and mind are looking to capture and experience, enjoyable moments of an African Safari. The day we reached the airport greeted by our tour guide cum driver in Swahili local language 'Jambo' common phrase used for greeting you. For the following few days, use of word Jambo excited me as though a magical word to associate with local people.

Vietnam and Ho Chi MinhHo Chi Minh, according to many Vietnamese during the time and still to this day, was considered one of the greatest leaders the Vietnamese ever had. Some would even label him as the "George Washington" of Vietnam. While living in France, Ho developed an interest in politics and joined a group of Vietnamese nationalist in Paris. During the Versailles peace talks, Ho heard word of Woodrow Wilson's stance against imperialism, and attempted to meet with the President to discuss the oppressive French colonial rule in Vietnam. However, Wilson had little interest in removing the French colonial rule in Vietnam and turned Ho away. Although Ho Chi Minh was ignored, he still diligently worked towards a new generation of Vietnamese Nationalism, while many westerners criticized his movement as aligning more towards one with communist motives. Following the Ho's founding of the Indochinese Communist Party, |

How Ethics and Morality Impacts the Lives of OthersOne should fight for what they believe in, because if they do not, they will be fighting against themselves for all of eternity. However, fighting for what one believes is right is never easy. The book, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is set in the sleepy Southern town of Maycomb, in the 1930s. Maycomb actively practices segregation, consequently exhibiting racism against blacks. The book follows the story of a mean and ignorant white man who falsely accuses an innocent black man of raping his daughter, purely to uphold his own family's values in the community as racists. The laws and culture of the Jim Crow South make it possible for a jury to have full confidence that although a black man is innocent, he will still get convicted. The main message that Harper Lee is trying to convey through "To Kill a Mockingbird" is that one should stand up for what they believe in, even if it is done under the surface, or with less gusto, amply demonstrated through the characters of Atti |

The Country Husband by John CheeversFor a student attending high school today, peer pressure is a battle which is faced daily. Students are encouraged by their parents to focus on their academics, so that they will be better prepared to face the rigorous demands of college. On the other hand, students receive pressure from their peers at school to conform to the latest trend. The use of illegal drugs, the decision of whether to drink alcohol on Friday night, and even the choice of what designer brand of clothes to wear are all situations in which a high school student has to make a decision. A constant question which has to be evaluated in their mind is, "Will I conform to the desires of my peers?"

John Cheever's short story, "The Country Husband," presents a story in which the protagonist, Francis Weed, must make a decision about conformity. The story is an example of interpretive fiction, because i |

Why Reconstruction Was a FailureWith the conclusion of the Civil War after the battle of Appomattox Court house, a new era had dawned. Soon after, President Lincoln was gunned down and assassinated in Ford's Theatre, by a Southern supporter and actor, John Wilkes Booth. Chaos quickly spread and the nation's stability was still unsteady. Nonetheless, Reconstruction was a failure because many political differences still existed, the South was stronger politically more than ever, and the Southern economy was destroyed, and freed slaves still suffered drastically. Many political differences still existed. It was known that the Democratic Vice President, Andrew Johnson, would become president since President Lincoln had died. At this point, all Democratic politicians were banned from the Capitol until December of 1865. Johnson continuously vetoed bills that favored the North. However, the Republ |

Irish Language in National Schools - 1922–1971Education is typically regarded a fundamental requirement in implementing any desired change in society. As accurately affirmed by Nelson Mandela "Education is the most powerful tool which you can use to change the world" a concept which is essentially timeless. The Irish Government irrefutably, had a similar perception in relation to how they would restore the Irish Language and ultimately gaelicisation in the new state in early 20th century Ireland. Following the establishment of the Gaelic League and its ensuing success, there was an air of cultural devotion about the country and an Ireland which was not only free but entirely Gaelic was aspired a representative. This endeavor presumed almost entirely by means of the Irish Education System and "a new starting point in the history of primary education in Ireland" was highly projected (Hyland & Milne, 1992, pg. 89) Although 1922 saw much innovation in relation to the Irish Education system and the restoration of |

Book Review - King Solomon's MinesKing Solomon's Mines is a popular novel written by Sir H. Rider Haggard. The novel falls into the Lost World genre which is a subgenre of fantasy or science fiction. King Solomon's Mines is considered by some to be the first lost-world narrative.1 This novel is geared towards seekers of the late-Victorian adventure romance. Throughout my years of schooling, I heard of King Solomon's Mines many times but never read it. After finally reading this engaging story, I am almost disappointed that this novel was not on my required reading list. I found myself intertwined in the wildly expressive and enjoyable words as told through the eyes of the narrator, Allan Quatermain. Although, throughout the novel there were subtle hints of racism, I understand that this book was written during a time when racism was more prevalent. Other than the mention of racism, this novel told of a great adventure, and put me in the mind of the bold and exciting tales of Indiana Jones, which happens to be one o |

Deisel - Corporate Social ResponsibilityVictoria Fernandez Ms. Shields English 1120 Diesel: Be Stupid "Stupid might fail. Smart doesn't even try." really gets the mind thinking of a million possibilities. This Diesel advertisement shows a message to a person that being adventurous is something everyone should live by. "Be smart" is what our elders have been telling us since we were young. While Diesel, an international clothing company, takes "Be stupid" as their philosophy. Diesel shows that they want customers to take risks and enjoy life while wearing their clothing rather than the usual cliche of just a model looking good in a product. This Diesel advertisement shows a message to a person that being adventurous is something everyone should live by. The surface meaning of this endorsement is just to make a viewer laugh at the frivolous image. This memorable ad shows a man sticking his head in the mailbox looking to be stuck at 160 degrees angle. Obviously Diesel doesn't mean for the view |

Selection from The Autobiography of Benjamin FranklinGrowing up in the Philadelphia area, Benjamin Franklin has always been a part of my home city's history and heritage. Whenever I have visitors from overseas, a trip to historic Philadelphia is always on the agenda. I have even toured the Ben Franklin House. However, prior to reading this selection, my knowledge and opinion of Franklin was limited. I would have described him as a Founding Father with a kite and a key. After reading this selection, I would describe him as one of the most interesting and admirable men I have ever read about. The selection from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin inspired me to want to become a better version of myself. Benjamin Franklin lays out a step-by-step process in this writing that I decided to adapt to fit my own needs. Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston. He was the fifteenth of seventeen children, and also the youngest boy. He was only given one year of formal education before starting to work. First, he studied under his father |

Government Funding for Domestic Violence VictimsDomestic violence is a sobering issue. Approximately one out of every four women in the United States has experienced domestic violence by the hands of a current spouse, former spouse, or boyfriend (Black et al. 5). It has many names which include family violence, battering, wife beating, and domestic abuse. All these terms refer to the same thing, which is abuse by a marital, common law, or dating partner in an intimate relationship. It has a profound negative affect, both mentally and physically, on the abused. When domestic violence victims finally take the challenging step to reach out for help, many of them are in frightening situations. It is imperative that the victims find immediate safety and support, but many of them have no family or friends that they can turn to for assistance. Consequently, it is essential that additional government funds be budgeted for the upcoming fiscal years, so that domestic violence victims can receive adequate housing, counseling, and educational |

Persepolis and De Niros GameThe two works I have studied are "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi and "De Niro's Game" by Rawi Hage. Both of these novels have been written by authors who have been through war. Marjane in Persepolis was brought of throughout the war, and Bassam in De Niro's game had been introduced to war at n older age. They describe their experiences through the war their thoughts and allow us as readers to see their character develop and change throughout the novel. They brought their experience through to the reader by using many writing strategies, but a main approach that was taken to present abstract ideas was the use of symbolism. Both works had this in common; the writers had included strong symbolism in order to support the main themes of the books. In Persepolis, the veil is used to show different symbols throughout the novel, the main two is rebelliousness and repression. By the law being forced upon the people, Marjane being included it becomes a representation of the |

Progressivism: Middle-Class DisillusionmentEveryone most likely has a different answer for whom they think that the actual Progressives were in the Progressive Era. Especially, the historians George Mowry, Gabriel Kolko, and Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore have different views. They can be anyone from the lowest class of people to the highest class of people. George Mowry who thinks they are the middle class, Gabriel Kolko who thinks they are the big business men and Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore who thinks they are the African American women. They each have their different opinions on whom they think that the Progressives were. In George Mowry's "Progressivism: Middle-Class Disillusionment" he thinks that the Progressives were middle-aged, economically well off, white men and women. Simply put, most had a college education and were of the "solid middle class". They were lawyers, politicians, newspaper editors, merchants, or people in the medicine, banking, and real estate occupations. The "solid middle class&quo |

Iron Triangles and Two Party GovernmentAn iron triangle is a three-sided relationship, which functions to cater and serve members of Congressional Committees, Interest groups, and Bureaucrats. Nearly all Congressional Committees have a highly functional relationship with individual agencies whose programs they control and appropriate money to. In turn these committees along with bureaucrats carry a solid relationship with various interest groups who might want to influence decisions and policy once it's on the floor. Iron triangles such as these can exist on a state and national level, as these same relationships can exist between state legislators and state limited interested groups often cases these relationships arise between farmers and agriculture regulators. While these triangles are often efficient at passing on the wishes of those who matter in the industries often times the gener |

Make Learning the New CoolAs I would sit there in class I could hear my teacher's monotone rant, but I couldn't concentrate, it was too hot, also I could hear the drone from the broken air conditioner, and just couldn't wait to hear the bell that would release me on my break. This was what it came to, for the classes that didn't motivate me to learn, I became bored and listening to the teacher became an exercise in futility. My school education quality varied from year to year, some years I had the worst teachers, whom would do the minimum to teach and help us grasp the concepts other years I had the best teachers imaginable and felt really lucky. I would love to go to those classes because I was challenged to think and associate my learning with the real world, and wasn't solely sitting there taking in facts. In "Idiot Nation," and "Against School," Michael Moore and John Taylor Gatto disagree with the American School System and believe it has set students to fail. I concur with their idea |

Acquired Immune Deficiency (AIDS)The first recognized case of AIDS in the United States was in the year 1980s. A high percentage of gay men in New York City and California were starting to develop a certain rare opportunistic infection and a cancer. Treatment for the disease was futile. Around that time aids didn't have its name just yet. But it became know that all the men were suffering the same problem from the same syndrome. That ended up making the discovery of the HIV virus. Acquired immune syndrome was identified in the 80s. It's a disease that is caused by infection of HIV. Human immunodeficiency virus infection starts by doing damage towards your immune system which starts to interfere with your body ability to fight disease causing organisms.

Government and the Food IndustryFood has become a politically controversial subject in America, and it's the simple fact that people do not know the right way to eat healthy because the government and food industries do not know the right way to eat healthy. This causes confusion, which makes it almost impossible for the people to actually figure out the right way to eat and stay healthy. In Balkos, Warners, and Maxfields articles, they describe the problems American people are facing with eating healthy and being overweight. Balko is describing to the readers the effect the government is having on the people and how they should eat. The government is trying to control the peoples welfare and how they should worry about others health before their own. Since the government has been involved, it has caused people to judge others of their weight or what they are eating. Balko reflects this in his article by describing to the readers that they should |
