Freud and Psychodynamic TheoriesSigmund Freud is considered the father of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology and a theory of human behaviour. Though hugely controversial, his theory influenced the development of a number of psychodynamic theories of personality, which in turn have informed and shaped current understanding of personality. While rooted in Freudian psychoanalytic thought, many of these theories built on, interpreted, and at times, challenged key Freudian concepts of personality. Two such theories are Karen Horney's feminine psychology and John Bowlby's attachment theory. This essay will compare and contrast Horney's and Bowlby's key concepts of personality notably that childhood is a crucial development period for personality, that parental relationships are determinants of personality, and that poor parental relationships can adversely impact personality development. While methodological approach, evidence and supporting empirical research will be explored, consideration wil |

Friendship in The Epic of GilgameshIn The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh and Enkidu relationship between them show that friendship, while strong, may not always be easy and can be quite complex for one or both of the parties involved. To fully understand the complexity of the epic, one must know the background of those involved. In the beginning we are introduced to Gilgamesh and his character. In page 62 "Gilgamesh sounds the tocsin for his amusement, his arrogance has no bounds by day or night. No son is left with his father, for Gilgamesh takes them all, even the children; yet the king should be a shepherd to his people. His lust leaves no virgin to her lover, neither the warrior's daughter nor the wife of the noble; yet this is the shepherd of the city, wise, comely, and resolute." His personality is like one a god; he is the strongest and bravest warrior in which he can do anything he wants to do. As we progress through the epic we are introduced to Enkidu. "The goddess conceived an image in her mind, |

Holden Caulfield and Borderline Personality DisorderUpon spending hours speaking with my patient during our therapy sessions. I am under the impression that my patient, Holden Caulfield, is suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Holden Caulfield is a 16-year-old male teenager, who has a difficult time dealing with the death of his younger brother. Having to struggle through that tragedy, he has problems behaving in a socially acceptable way. Based on my analysis on Holden, he shows symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. Along with the causes of Borderline Personality Disorder Holden demonstrates many symptoms that need to be addressed. The first symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder Holden demonstrates is suicidal behavior. One can never know if a suicide threat is serious or not but they should never be taken lightly. In the website of National Institute of Mental Health, it states that "Self-injurious behavior includes suicide and suicide attempts, as well as self-harming behaviors"("BPD"). While Holden is alone in a New York hotel room, he says, "What I really felt like, though, was committing suicide. I felt like jumping ou |

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)Since the declaration of its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the continuing education system of the Republic of Uzbekistan has been extensively reformed in line with the global movement towards integration of education systems across the world and re-establishing the sense of nationhood. Undoubtedly this was a hard and a demanding process which required the total reestablishment of the whole system. Along with the development of purely Uzbek model of education system by means of adopting documents such as Law on Education (1997) and National Programme for Personnel Training (1997) there have been established a comprehensive education system​​, aimed at creating harmoniously developed, highly educated, modern-minded younger generation, and further integration of the republic into the world community by breaking up the old-dated principles of education. This is also evident in the field of learning and teaching foreign language, which was mostly reliant on the Soviet-root |

Divorce Case SummaryThe court has abbreviated both parties names "[i]n order to protect them against adverse publicity flowing from this litigation. Therefore, the names of the parties shall not be disclosed in the citation of the case" (1). This is for the protection of both parties, that lies in the constitution that the parties have the full rights not to have their full names exposed in a case report that will be filed by the public. This is to keep their privacy on a less controversial scale so that the public is not tempted to write stories about the following parties to publicize. This is to avoid media conflict between the court and the media. Delict means when one purposely does something to spite the opposing party in a dispute. In this case report, the plaintiff was not aware of the situation that had deteriorated his marriage, which he later concludes that his wife left him for the defendant. In that case the plaintiff states that Ms. H did this out of enticement to speed the proce |

Use of Diction in The AwakeningKate Chopin's book, The Awakening, uses many different literary techniques to entertain readers through her writing. Chopin's use of diction, imagery, and the characterization of Edna Pontellier add to the passage and the book as a whole. The author's purpose of entertaining readers is reached through the use of literary techniques. The strong diction, fascinating imagery, and characterization of Edna Pontellier as she comes to find herself all keep the book entertaining for readers to read. The diction that Kate Chopin uses throughout this passage and the whole book was chosen very carefully. The diction was chosen to make readers feel a certain way by the specific words she uses. Chopin uses the words "beginning to realize" (Chopin 25). The phrase has a positive connotation and readers are led to believe that something has happened to Edna to make her understand her place in the world. Edna is described as a "human being" (Chopin 25). Clearly Edna Pontellier is the literal meaning of a human being, but in this case "human being" has a deeper meaning (Chopin 25). Edna, as a "human being," has a bigger purpose to serve (Chopi |

Incentive to Decrease the High School Dropout RateAmerica has a vast number of social problems, and education is one of them. The education debate over whether America has the best or the worst has gone on for years. Some parents may feel that their child is getting the best education he or she can, while others may feel that there needs to be more offered in the classrooms. Education plays an important role in one's life, as without education an individual is not able to work. It is a known fact that high school drop outs end up either dead or in prison, because they do not have anything to do with their life; they did not complete high school to get their diploma. The proposal that is being established is that the high school dropout has to go to a concentration camp run by North Koreans. Some may say that education is not important, when in reality one's education determines your life. The world would now be witness to the graduation rate increasing, employment numbers increasing, and better education altogether. Some might say that this punishment is way out of line, but if this is the only way for the dropout rate to d |

Comparison Essay - Sonny's BluesIn "Sonny's Blues" written by James Baldwin two brothers, one an inspiring musician, the other a school teacher, are torn apart by their differences. The unnamed narrator is telling the story about his life and his brother, Sonny. The narrator lives "It might be said, perhaps, that I had escaped, after all, I was a school teacher, or that Sonny had, he hadn't lived in Harlem for years."(Baldwin 77) The story of "Sonny's Blues" shows how two brothers can put aside their differences all through one brothers' music. The story is told from the unnamed narrator's point of view that happens to be Sonny's older brother, he isn't given a name so he is just called narrator .The narrator is described as being seven years older than Sonny. He describes this as "The seven years difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm: I wondered if these years would operate between us as a bridge."(Baldwin 71) He is a high school teacher in the city and in the beg |

Alcohol, Drinkers and Drunk DrivingShould society care about alcohol abuse? Many people believe that to consume alcohol is a personal choice and an expression of free will. Some of those people don't consider how alcohol use affects anyone other than the drinker. By listening to alcohol advertising and watching actors in movies one would get the impression that alcohol gives people an increased social status; they become self-confident, sexually attractive, and fun to be around. Initially people start out drinking for fun; it can relax and reduce inhibitions but at some point and for whatever reasons some people become addicted and can't stop. What often begins as a fun escape and great stress relief can become a habit that can destroy everything good in life. Eventually everyone becomes affected by alcohol use in one way or another. The purpose of this paper is to prove that alcohol affects people who don't drink alcohol at all or those who drink responsibly. Research suggests that alcoholism is a societal disease that |

The Basics of Sucrose (Sugar)Sucrose, the chemical name for sugar, naturally comes from sugar cane or sugar beet. The discovery of sugar dates back before 500 B.C. in Polynesia where sugar cane became a major crop. Eventually, farming the crop spread quickly to neighboring countries where people exported sugar cane for profit. As sugar reached to other countries, more uses of it became evident and changed the course of food indefinitely. Sucrose, or sugar, comes from the inner stalk of the sugar cane, or from the sugar beet. Sugar cane is to be grown in tropical or semi tropical climates contrary to sugar beet, which is grown in more temperate climates. The process of extracting the sugar is done by harvesting the crop, then putting it through the mill to be processed into raw sugar. Sugar cane consi |

Surveillance in the 21st CenturyWhere are you not under some type of surveillance? You have the opportunity to be by yourself, privately, at home, right? Is your cellphone located somewhere near you? If so, then someone has access to where you are. Can they hear you? No? Are you sure? That is okay. You already tweeted and updated your Instagram location as to where you are. It is easy to dismiss the idea that you are being watched, but maybe everyone is. Steven is the typical twenty-five year old working man in New York. He owns an apartment, which usually smells like instant noodles and beer, has security cameras, and obviously owns a television, laptop and an iPhone. This supposedly private space where Steven spends most of his time is, in fact, just as public as walking in the street. The recently purchased 3D television fascinates all his friends because it keeps track of the watcher's eyes and automatically adjusts the pixels to deliver a comfortable picture for the viewer. Unfortunately, the televisions manual did not include that |

OverBaptist DenominationGrowing up in church has made things pretty good at times and sometimes difficult to actually understand when it all comes to understanding what church history is and all the different denominations. In my childhood I experience going to many churches as a little girl, but at the time I did not know anything about the settings and the traditions. I just knew I was there to serve God and worship Him for the many blessings. As I child my grandmother attended a Baptist church on the South side of Chicago. Once my grandmother passed is when I started going to different churches just so I can be able to go to church in thank God for all he has done for me. Going from a Baptist church to attending other kinds of churches definitely had a impact on me and sometimes made it harder for me to worship God. Baptist churches in my opinion were more diverse and valued family and God's word. Even though I bounced around in have experienced many denominations has showed me the differences within the C |

Curse and Rebirth in The Story of an HourKate Chopin, author of "The Story of an Hour" does tremendous work in painting women's cry, within the 1900s, for more individualistic and unsuppressed roles within society. Chopin uses imagery and one key feature to portray this need for individualism. This key aspect is the fascinating character of Louise. Mrs. Louise's marriage is an important factor within this story, this combined with the excitement that Louise feels despite losing her husband to an accident is really significant. This recognition of the possibility of finally being able to live for herself, is rather unique and surprisingly helpful to the reader in a bid to better understand the significance of the story i.e. the issues regarding freedom and autonomy of women at the time. Chopin begins by using imagery in mentioning Louise's physical features as well as her weaknesses. The protagonist is young, fair faced and that she is physically fragile due to her heart condition "Knowing that Mrs. Mallard wa |

The Decline of Marriage in the WestAs people are constantly pushed to their limits on the daily basis and the today's world is revolving at ever increasing pace people start to dispute the basic principles of human societies. Most recently the importance of marriage has been widely discussed. Many people believe that the marriage is the thing of the past and it is not important anymore whether you live with someone inside or outside the marriage. The high level of freedom in western societies and the liberal lifestyle may favour this opinion but there are certain values that life outside the marriage simply cannot offer. Quite often we are bombarded by surveys and statistics that show that more and more people choose the live together outside the marriage. Recent statistics have shown that over the last twenty years the number of marriages in Czech Republic has dropped by 50 percent and the same number may be applied to any other country within Europe or United States1. What have caused such a dramatic drop? Several sou |

Australian National Security in Southeast AsiaIntroduction In terms of geopolitics Australia represents quite unique phenomenon. There are two reasons for that. It is to only state in the world which covers the whole area of one continent. The other reason is its position where Australia lies between two geostrategic regions – Oceania and Southeast Asia. But what are the other aspects and threats that affect national security of Australia? The origins of Australia as an independent country dates back to the beginning of the 20th century – on 1st January 1901 the first six colonies formed the Commonwealth of Australia. Since that moment Australia participated in the large number of conflicts across the world. Australian soldiers took part in WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, etc. The gained experience out of these conflicts led to the reform of military forces in Australia which allowed the creation of ADF (Australian Defence Force), the change of military doctrine and the new approach of the continental defence strategy |

Citizenship in the School CommunityThere are many types of citizenship action, for example, raising awareness in both the local and wider community, through things like posters, presentations in school assemblies and form times, and charity events. As a small group of students we could: write to the local MP (because he could possibly raise the issue in the House of Commons) and the local paper (as they could print something that reaches the local community of High Wycombe), and post various awareness posters on social networking sites. This would mean that people outside of our school, i.e. the wider community, would be aware of how important this issue is, and could contribute to making a difference nationally, and even possibly internationally. Raising awareness of forced marriage will help those that have been put in difficult positions, even if it is in a non-direct way, as if everybody in the community is informed, they may be more mindful of any suspicious behavior, and so are more likely to report the incident a |

Equal Rights for Mexican-AmericansMexican-Americans struggled for equal rights in America in the 20th century. In the 1960's John F. Kennedy was elected president with the help of Mexicans-Americans. Kennedy promised Mexican-Americans certain rights and "he didn't fulfill his promises to them. For one, Kennedy didn't appoint more Mexican-Americans to higher political positions and didn't pass legislation that would benefit the Mexican-American community.

Hope: The Human PandemicFor the entire existence of mankind, we have found the need to put some meaning on life and whether or not anything lies beyond the grave. Yet many people fail to realize that we humans came up with a meaning when there otherwise is none. "If there were no God, it would become necessary for mankind to invent one" (Voltaire). I believe Voltaire is saying how we as humans always try to find answers for life's unanswerable questions. When we view god we ask the questions who is God? Where is it? How it works? To all this the answer is "I don't know". Voltaire is saying is that humanity needs God. Even if we try to eradicate the concept of God and wipe out every other sacred text book mentioning about it, we will find that humans will invent it again. . As we have learned and expanded our knowledge we have molded our God(s) to fit our needs. The ancient Greeks and Romans thought gods pulled the sun across the sky; we found out that this was from the earth orbiting around the s |

Female Characters in Jane EyreLike Charles Dickens's 'David Copperfield, 'Jane Eyre' is a bildungsroman, a novel in which the protagonist must undergo a form of spiritual education, to overcome the obstacles they face throughout their lives. In this novel, Jane must overcome her fiery passions that are physically manifested by Jane's 'alter ego' Bertha Mason. Both of these characters, as well as others such as Helen Burns are all females who are constrained by societal conventions, yet subvert them, and arise with great force. From Jane's early ordeals with the Reed family, it is evident that she is a fiercely passionate character, who at times struggles to deal with the oppressive patriarchal society she lives in. Jane Eyre is impulsive and outspoken, this becomes apparent when she recognises that she is a "rebel slave" representing her physical need to stand up for herself and her principles as she believes that "millions are in silent revolt against their lot" and refuses to |

Australian Homefront EssayIn 1939, the history on the homefront, Australia changed significantly due to the declaration of WW2. Some changes include the roles Women played, rationing of supplies and food and our alliance to other countries. Due to the change, the Government tried to improve the life of the civilians by introducing new laws. The changes on the home front and the role of Women impacted on ongoing changes post the war years. Censorship and propaganda were both used to influence people to join the war and help keep information safe. Censorship was when the government was in control of the information that was made public when using printed media, radio broadcasts and other forms of communications. This is the National Security Act (NSA) that was brought in on September 8th 1939. This was to prevent important information about Australia's wartime strategies and capabilities becoming known to the enemy. This was also to shield Australia from bad news that may influence the promotion of war. Propagand |

Social Experiment - The Ball PitIntroduction "I am a part of all that I have met." (Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1809 –1892) Every person leaves at least a small impact on those they come in contact with and speak to. Human beings are some of the most social animals on the planet and yet the majorities of us walk past the same people daily yet do not attempt to engage one another. My interest is in the many individuals who also experience unique problems in making inter-personal connections with others. Managing work obligations, household needs, and family responsibilities often leaves little time for social interaction. In addition, others lack the social skills to initiate a conversation with stranger face-to-face as opposed to conversing via some technological medium. The web-based media company, SoulPancake, created a social experiment by building a giant ball pit and hanging a large banner inviting people to "Take a seat-Make a Friend." In this experiment, two strangers would enter the ball |

Virtuous Development: A mirage or Vow?Areas like Greater Noida came into existence to cope up with the expanding population. It was zoned before anyone moved in, a well planned city with abnormally wide roads. In order to maintain neutrality, all the sectors were named after the Greek alphabet. Every bit was taken care off so as to ensure that there was no kind of interruption on this developing land. However, just like a coin has two faces, the process of development has it's own pros and cons. On one hand it promised luxurious townships, state of the art facilities and a lavish lifestyle whereas on the other it came with a price, a price that was unfeasible for the pastoral-agricultural Gujjar caste. These fertile, high yield farmlands were acquired from the farmers by the GNIDA( Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority) before the city could be built. Although it made the landowners rich but it had the opposite effect on the landless workers. Soon, they found out the price at which these lands were sold to the p |

Death of a Moth by Annie DillardDeath of a Moth by Annie Dillard is a short story with three sections that brings in both narrative of decaying insects and Dillard's real world experiences with writing and living alone. In the short story, Death Of a Moth, Dillard conveys the meaning of loss and gain through syntax, tone, and diction. The definition of syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language. One example of the use of syntax in this story is when Dillard writes, "Dropped her abdomen into the wet wax, stuck, flamed, frazzled and fried in a second. Her moving wings ignited like tissue paper...and then this moth-essence, this spectacular skeleton, began to act as a wick. She kept burning." Dillard uses the sentence structure of consecutive verbs and adjectives to quicken the pace of the story. With these details, Dillard describes the nature of |
