Interview with a Guidance CounselorThe growth and development of psychological testing in the Philippines have gone tremendous advancements as more Filipino professionals work and research about the development of it. And psychological testing is easier to conduct as Filipinos becomes more comfortable on working with professionals under the field of psychology. In spite of what has been said, our psychological testing is very limited as most of our psychological tests are foreign made. Even though tests were empirically proven to be valid and reliable for other countries, it could be more accurate if we will use locally developed psychological tests oriented in our society and culture. Compared to Western countries, Filipinos are not really enticed and show little importance when it comes to studying mental or psychological health. However, it i |

Influence of Hinduism on Indian societyAlthough some disagree that Hinduism is the oldest living religion in the world, none can argue the enormity of the impact it has had, and still continues to have on India's society. India's history is greatly influenced by Hinduism in its beliefs and customs. Hindu spiritual texts such as the Vedas, and other orthodox beliefs and practices of Hinduism have had a strong influence on the foundations of India's ancient and modern civilisation. Hinduism has contributed towards the implementation of many of the distinguishable aspects of Indian society such as India's well-known caste system, its inferior status of women and cultural enrichments such as philosophy and its high position on ethical conduct. The caste system is certainly the most prominent mark of the influence of Hinduism on Indian culture. The Indian caste system is a closed system of social stratification where people in Indian are differentiated through class, religion, region, tribe, gender and language (Desphande, 201 |

An Overview of Bulimia NervosaBulimia Nervosa (BN) is one of the leading eating disorders worldwide alongside anorexia nervosa and continues to pose a major health threat as sufferers experience psychological and medical symptoms that most often lead to complications (Le Grange & Lock, 2007, p. 4). One of these complications is the tendency of bulimic patients to commit suicide because of aggravating sense of despair and loss of hope. According to Pompili, Girardi, Ruberto & Tatarelli (2006), "suicide in anoxeria nervosa and bulimia nervosa is a major cause of death" (p. 1). Aside from suicide, one of the disturbing realities about bulimia nervosa is how it tends to affect women and adolescents. The usual onset or starting point of bulimia is set at adolescence (Le Grange & Lock, 2007, p. 3) when young adults are starting to form their own self-identity, a process tied to the notion of body image. The seriousness of bulimia nervosa compels one to understand the 'entire story' of this eating disord |

Nancy Wake and the French ResistanceCourageous and a fighter for freedom, Nancy Wake was one of the most extraordinary people of the 20th Century. She was a key figure in the French resistance movement and risked her life to undermine the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. Yet, it has only been in the last 20 years or so, that Nancy Wake's incredible contributions to overthrowing Nazism have been properly recognised by Australians. Born in 1912 in New Zealand and later moving with her family to Sydney as a toddler, Nancy Wake's early life was happy as the youngest of five siblings. However, her life dramatically changed at the age of 10, when her journalist father failed to return home from work one day, never to return. This devastated Nancy who, as a high spirited and adventurous child, constantly clashed with her deeply religious mother. Feeling constrained by the disciplinarian nature of her home and a dream to travel, Nancy later ran away. At aged 16, she secured work as a nurse in Mudgee. With h |

Theories of Examining OneselfOverview There are different ways on how to examine ourselves, it would either be medically, socially, emotionally, and or psychologically. But I'm only going to focus on this psychological part. We examine ourselves in order for us to fit in on different category of society or even just to ourselves, so we know how we can cope on to different emotional stressing situations or how we perceive such situations and how we might react to it. We also examine our strengths and weaknesses, and this is for a person to know his potential in achieving goals. How do we examine ourselves? First off, people tend to look around their surroundings and see if they are able to adjust into such environments that maybe be positive or negative to them. The positive side is how one sees the goodness of oneself in the certain environment and the negative side means the negativity of how one sees themselves in an environment. An example of the posi |

Literary Analysis of Lolita by Vladimir NabokovFrom a preview of the text Lolita there are a couple things to learn about Vladimir Nabokov. He was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1899. After studying at Cambridge he launched his literary career in Berlin and Paris. After he moved to the United States in the 1940s he achieved an acclaimed named and extraordinary relationship as not just an author but poet, critic, and translator. A quote on the back of the book from John Updike can also give us insight to how respected his name was by other literary geniuses, "I'd never seen writing quite like this before, writing so precise and witty, and so full of little surprises," (Updike, Of John Updike and Vladimir Nabokov). Big publication names like Vanity Fair also wrote about the authenticity of the master piece saying it was, "The only convincing love story of the century," (Vanity Fair, Gregor von Rezzori). Nabokov died in Switzerland during 1977, 22 years after Lolita was published. Upon the publication of Lolit |

A Study of Indigenous AustraliansOn 10th of December 1992, Paul Keating delivered the Redfern address, which was an oratorical moment in Australians history as it managed to capture in explicit terms, the harsh truths about Australian history, and to use them as a basis for building trust in the government's motives among Indigenous Australians. On the 13th of Febuary 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered the national apology to the indigenous people of Australia, otherwise known as the "stolen generation." Kevin Rudd recognized the challenges faced by Australia's indigenous population and the negative impacts of European settlement on Australia's Indigenous communities and reiterates his intentions to equalise the opportunities for all Australians, regardless of their origin. Both speeches given by former Australian prime ministers attempt to reconcile with the indigenous people of Australia. This paper will analyse the meaning of term reconciliation using both Paul Keatings Redfern speech and Kevin Rud |

Wuthering Heights and the Era of Empowerment1. The 19th century marked huge changes for the Victorian society. These changes were brought about by industrialisation and urbanisation. Industrialization as one identifies, is the increase in technology and infrastructure in an area. The introduction of new factories and industrial areas lead to an increase in the availability of jobs. As a result, with industrialization, came urbanisation – the term which refers to the mass movement of people from rural areas to centralised urban areas. This generally happens once there is growth in an economy where that economy now holds more resources and therefore, more jobs. Urbanisation takes place due to large amounts of people moving closer to areas with high job availability in search of employment, a better life and industrial workers wanting to live close by to their place of employment. Although the above sounds very appealing and beneficial, it also actually caused a lot of harm including social, health and population linked |

The lessons Santiago learns, change him as a person. Not only does Santiago learn to never give up on his dreams, but he also discovers the secret of happiness.

If that individual keeps trying over and over again, they will succeed and come closer to achieving their dreams. This teaches Santiago to never give up and to always keep trying his best in order to accomplish his dreams. Santiago changes from being someone who thinks about giving up to someone who keeps tryi |

Response Paper - PovertyIn the article, Jo Goodwin Parker explains the meaning of poverty through the viewpoint of a poor woman. The woman represents poverty to expose its bitter, harsh and hidden aspects. However, I believe that her perceptions of poverty are trapped by her negative attitude towards the circumstances. For that reason, I question whether the author has covered other aspects including the seeking of true happiness, the poor woman's lack of determination to overcome poverty and the restriction in the writer's grasp of poverty. Although the author fails to consider those three aspects, she manages to fascinate the readers by using several writing techniques. As far as I am concerned, finding happiness in life is a more important matter than worrying about poverty. It seems to me that the woman in the text is materialistic. She dreams of having money, which is, in my opinion, an unsustainable and unpractical dream. She will not be able to pay for the living expenses when there is no money left. |

Women in the Labor MarketThere has been raging the debate about the superiority of the two sexes (Angier et al., par1). Traditionally, the male sex has dominated the female sex mainly due to physical ability. Girls are empowered to work as hard as their male counterparts and in the developed countries such as the United States, they are given an equal opportunity to excel. This has paid off as there are just as numerous girls as boys in American schools all the way to colleges. In this paper, I will analyze the sources provided and their debate on the "battle of the sexes." Traditionally, some careers are male dominated such as engineering and fire fighting while others such as nursing are female dominated. These assigned on the basis that women show empathy while men are physically stronger. However, there has been a shift in legislation and women allowed the careers of their choice. Despite this, women still prefer not to indulge into some of the male dominions such as fire fighting. Only about 2.5% of |

Symbolism in The Book TheifThe Book Thief written by Markus Zusak is a powerful novel following the life of Liesel Meminger during the harrowing years of Hitler's reign over Germany. The Book Thief portrays many heart wrenching themes, reinforced through strong symbols such as color, Hans' accordion, and books. These ideas are surround mortality, hope, and the power of words, are important to Zusak's novel and to society due to the way they connect with each other to help us understand character's lives and reflect on our own. The symbolism of color in The Book Thief was evident throughout the entire novel. It is used as a very powerful tool to represent the life and death engulfing Germany in regards to mortality, one of the novels key ideas. Death is used to narrate the novel using colors to describe the skies and souls in the moment he comes to take people spirits away, which is very powerful. Death states "Summer came for the book thief, everything was going nicely. For me the sky was the color of j |

Skippyjon Jones Theater ReviewI watched the enchanted musical Skippyjon Jones at the McCain Theater at Meridian Community College. Based on the book is by Judy Schachner, The show is originally directed by Peter Flynn, directed and choreographed by Devanad Janki, music by Eli Bolin and lyrics by Kevin Del Agulia. They all work in unison with an all star cast of professional actors to create an epic experience for all who wants to unleash their wild imagination and follow their dreams. They bring the classic animated Disney film to life on the stage. The live plot follows the movie very closely as it opens with the Circle of Life, just like the animated film, features all of your favorite Disney characters, and continues to tell the story of a young cub named Simba and his journey to becoming king of Pride Rock. The acting in this performance met and exceeded all expectations. Two in particular stood out in my mind as they simply commanded attention with their very presence on the stage. As if that were not enoug |

The Edward Snowden CaseAbstract Whistleblowing is a big issue in the world today when it comes to the issue of privacy. It is often argued as to whether a whistleblower can be seen as a hero or a traitor. This can be seen in the case of Edward Snowden where his government sees him as a traitor. However in terms of protecting the right to personal privacy he is seen as a hero. In order to fully comprehend whether a whistleblower can be seen as a traitor or a hero, whistleblowing needs to be understood by definition and its views around the world, for example in the United States of America, United Kingdom and South Africa. We need to fully understand the effects and aftermath that whistleblowing entails along with the ethical implications when it comes to disclosing information. Edward Snowden revealed secret information kept by the NSA about the government invading the public's privacy in order to uncover any threats to the United States government. Edward Snowden case is a good example of the ethical implic |

Synanthropic Species - Birds in PolandI would like to begin my presentation with explaining the term "synanthropic species". Actually, the term is the leading motive of my utterance. Synanthropic species include plants as well as animals which live in and are adapted to the association of humans. The species are able to use the artificial habitats that humans create around them to such an extent that they can benefit from them. Populations and synanthropic species gain characteristic features. The most popular of them are: disposing of the instinct for escape and fear due to the easiness of winning food or an opportunity to use buildings raised by people to build nests. Animals or plants become synanthropic species because their natural environments are inhabited by people or changed and destroyed due to humans' activity.The reasons for as well as consequences of synanthropy usually are: - searching for plentiful and regular sources of nourishment in places inhabited or exploited by people - conditions favoring reproducti |

Logistics Networking of a WarehouseNetwork planning is very essential considering its role in determining the overall physical channel such as plants and warehouses through which materials are usually transformed from their raw form to finished products and then delivered to the customers. The network planning is a multifaceted concept (Zhuge, 2006). As such, there are a set of underlying aspects, among the core being design. Design is a very essential aspect and is often applied when establishing networks for structures such as warehouses. For the purpose of this paper, the intention is to establish a logistic network, which consists of only one warehouse. As such, the current study will aim at describing the approach for designing such a network. The paper will also include the set of information and data necessary to undertake the design and the strategy that would be employed in the network. There has been an upfront decision that a single warehouse be built. Given this, the only focus would be on the both the cap |

Drama and the Physical Body in AssinamaliThe play Asinamali (Ngema, 1987) was a great point of departure for the victims of Apartheid, a play that gave them voice in a world where they were silenced, and faith when their will power began to lessen. This essay will discuss the elements of physical theatre and the links between physical theatre and Grotowski's idea of poor theatre. (1968) I will also explain how the situation of the current time of Asinamali (Ngema, 1987), which was Apartheid, contributed to 'the politics of the body' in general and also in physical theatre as a whole. Intriguing is a type of theatre that allows for one to convey a story primarily through his body. A type of theatre that encourages actors to move away from the mainstream characteristics, not to depend on narratives and texts, but rather to exploit sounds, posture and movement. "It is eminently a syncretism form, forging its meanings from immediate, visible and audible signs, interacting directly in the here and now." (Banning, 1 |

Culture and Television ViolenceTelevision is a huge thing in the USA, and has been since the early 19th century. Television first began as moving pictures on a screen to later becoming one of the worlds most widely used electronic. Over the years Television has evolved from boring old boxes to high definition flat screen TV's. Now a day's people, especially children, spend a lot of time watching television. Many people believe that television violence has a negative effect on society because it promotes violence. I agree with this statement because TV violence can change the way a person thinks and acts. Would parents like to see their children become dangerous delinquents when they grow up? To begin with, some people believe that television doesn't cause any type of change in a person's behavior, but what they don't know is that the change can occur without even that person realizing it. The changing process occurs little by little, each day the person becoming more and more violent. When they do realize, it may be to late and they could be in jail waiting for the judge to decide their se |

Macbeth - Doomed by FateIn the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, it is very controversial whether or not Macbeth was doomed by fate or by a flaw in his character. It could be argued that Macbeth was doomed both by fate and by a flaw in his character. On one hand, the role of the witches influence could be regarded as a major external force that exploited Macbeth's character flaws. However, on the other hand, Macbeth's ambitious nature and greed for power was the flaw in his character that ultimately led to his downfall. In addition to this, overriding fate is the powerfully aggressive nature of Macbeth engendering his internal state of being from the start of the play. This is not in itself a character flaw but does galvanize Macbeths murderous actions and thus asserts that at the core of this cautionary tale about ambition lays the issue of a combination between fate and erroneous traits. The extent to which Macbeths downfall is determined by fate or a flaw in his character will be discussed. It |

Anti-Gay Marriage Court CasesSocial attitudes aimed at same sex relationships have been present since Ancient Greek and Roman times. The Greeks were known for their many mentorships and same sex relationships. There is much evidence that echoes through their culture to show this: vases, statues, myths, speeches and oratory, tragedies and comedies, and inscriptions in which homosexual acts are mentioned, praised, and sometimes harshly discouraged. However, homosexuality did not just start and stop with the Greeks. Homosexual behavior is a real affair that has aggrandized itself and has a strong presence, and is even being debated in our Supreme Court today. While the Greek same sex practice was geared towards mentorship, same sex practice in modern times is geared more towards pleasure, sex, and even marriage. While gay marriage has always been unlawful and illegal and prohibited, since ________ there are thirteen states that have ruled in favor of same sex marriage making it a legal practice.

The Biggest Lie I Ever ToldI always seemed to be a little different than my friends. I could never do just one of anything, especially if it made me feel good. I was obsessed with feeling good and I would do anything to get that feeling. Even when I knew the consequences were going to be horrible. As a teenager I drank alcohol and did drugs, but I never believed that I had a problem. That was the lie that I told myself and everyone around me. That I, didn't have a problem with drugs or alcohol. My friends and family constantly tried to talk me into getting help. I never listened to them because I truly believed my lie. When I became a young adult and had my first son, my drug and alcohol use diminished. It didn't take long for me to miss the feeling that I got from my use. I started using drugs and alcohol very heavy, it was like I never even stopped. My use caused me to have run ins with the police. I still lied to myself even after being arrested. I told everyone around me that I didn't have a problem, I just had horrible luck. I believed this myself, so that made it easy to convince others. I eve |

Emergency Preservation and ResuscitationAbstract This paper discusses the beneficial use of a new clinical trial study pertaining to emergency preservation and resuscitation on patients who have been in a traumatic injury and are at risk of hemorrhage. EPR uses the technique of induced hypothermia, which protects tissue from ischemic injury. Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation Trauma, or unintentional (accidental) injuries, is the leading cause of death in individuals in the age groups 1-44 and is the fifth leading cause of mortality in the United states (Heron,2010). The major cause of preventable deaths from these traumas was caused by uncontrollable hemorrhaging (Alam, 2009). If doctors had more time to evaluate and repair the damage, they could prevent deaths caused by uncontrolled hemorrhaging. A new clinical trial using induced hypothermia is being conducted by Samuel A. Tisherman at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center (UMPC) Presbyterian Hospital to enable surgeons to fix the structural damage that would |

Harlem Renaissance PoetsIn the middle of the 1930's and close to the end of World War I, an artistic explosion of talent and social growth had begun. This period of time was called" The Harlem Renaissance". Harlem became the cornerstone for attracting colored artists, musicians, writers, photographers, poets, and specialists. Most of them came from the south trying to escape the unfair treatment and to show others how talented they were. During this period of time, Harlem was the hub to which colored artists, poets, musicians, and photographers traveled to showcase their skills without consequences or repercussions. The Harlem Renaissance helped artists Langston Hughes, and Claude McKay achieve recognition for their talents during this significant period of cultural growth. Langston Hughes was an American poet, author and writer who was the leading force and primary contributor to the start of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's. His poetry depicted the beauty and pride in everyday life of black people. The poem, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers", appeared in the magazine called "The Crisis" edited by W.E.B. Dubose. This maga |

Ten Days that Unexpectedly Changed America10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America by Steven M. Gillon brings to attention the ten days that the History Channel believes to be some of the most influential days in America. Gillon purposefully avoided obvious days, such as the bombing and Pearl Harbor or the signing of the Constitution in order to provoke discussion. The introduction points out that it is almost never planned events that change the course of history, but random, unexpected ones. Gillon also points out that it is not always large groups of people that make a difference, but in many instances it is just a single person. These days were just as ordinary as yesterday, today or tomorrow, and not a single person, even the people who were involved, expected it to have made the impact that it did. Battle at Mystic When the Pilgrims arrived in 1620, they originally met a group of natives who helped them adjust to the new land, and despite the kindness of the natives, the English still considered them savages.
