...Which Character most represents the Id? What are his character traits (direct /indirect characterization)? Explain how other character’s reaction to the Id character support your claim. Jack Merridew represents the id of Lord of the Flies. By being self-centered, requiring instant gratification, and using the appeal of leisure and play to win over the hearts of the boys on the island, Jack embodies the selfish and short-sighted aspect of personality. 'You didn’t ought to have let that fire out. You said you’d keep the smoke going—' This from Piggy, and the wails of agreement from some of the hunters, drove Jack to violence. The bolting look came into his blue eyes. He took a step, and able at last to hit someone, stuck his fist into Piggy’s...

...Something called the Danish Twin Study established that only about 10 percent of how long the average person lives, within certain biological limits, is dictated by our genes. The other 90 percent is dictated by our lifestyle. So the premise of Blue Zones: if we can find the optimal lifestyle of longevity we can come up with a de facto formula for longevity. But if you ask the average American what the optimal formula of longevity is, they probably couldn't tell you. They've probably heard of the South Beach Diet, or the Atkins Diet. You have the USDA food pyramid. There is what Oprah tells us. There is what Doctor Oz tells us. The fact of the matter is there is a lot of confusion around what really helps us live longer better. Should you be running marathons or doing yoga? Should you eat organic meats or should you be eating tofu? When it comes to supplements, should you be taking them?How about these hormones or resveratrol? And does purpose play into it? Spirituality? And how about how we socialize? Well, our approach to finding longevity was to team up with National Geographic, and the National Institute on Aging, to find the four demographically confirmed areas that are geographically defined. And then bring a team of experts in there to methodically go through exactly what these people do, to distill down the cross-cultural distillation. And at the end of this I'm going to tell you what that distillation is. But first I'd like to debunk some common myths when it comes...

...American health crisis. High rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease: the legacy, some experts say, of sugar, a crop that brought the ancestors of most Clarksdale residents to this hemisphere in chains. “We knew we had to do something,” Kirkpatrick principal SuzAnne Walton told me. Walton, Clarksdale born and bred, was leading me through the school, discussing ways the faculty is trying to help students—baked instead of fried, fruit instead of candy—most of whom have two meals a day in the lunchroom. She was wearing scrubs—standard Monday dress for teachers, to reinforce the school’s commitment to health and wellness. The student body is 91 percent African American, 7 percent white, “and three Latinos”—the remaining 2 percent. “These kids eat what they’re given, and too often it’s the sweetest, cheapest foods: cakes, creams, candy. It had to change. It was about the students,” she explained. Take, for example, Nicholas Scurlock, who had recently begun his first year at Oakhurst Middle School. Nick, just tall enough to ride the coaster at the bigger amusement parks, had been 135 pounds going into fifth grade. “He was terrified of gym,” Principal Walton told me. “There was trouble running, trouble breathing—the kid had it all.” “Of course, I’m not one...

...families use violence to teach their children because they think a light spanking has more effects than a thousand lectures. Besides, they might think it’s just a light hurt to their children, doesn’t make them too pained or leave trace in their skin. They just want to make their children to be scared and to never repeat the mistake again. However, they are wrong because even thought the light spanking or light violent action doesn’t make the child hurt, it leaves many worse psychological effects for the children in the future. For example, in the article “The need for spanking”, Betsy Hart states that Elizabeth Gershoff, a well- known psychologist and a researcher from Columbia University's National Center for Children in Poverty, tells the story that if her child were running into streets with speeding cars, she might try her best to keep her child away from a...

...Drug Testing – An Introduction Despite recent and strong empirical evidence proving employment-based drug screenings do not increase productivity – and in many cases may even adversely affect productivity – more and more employers continue to require a clean drug screening for consideration of employment. If you are applying for a job, the chances are good that you will need to take a drug test. While a few industries are still considered “safe” from drug testing (namely, restaurant and hospitality), this is by no means an industry standard. Larger offices are particularly diligent in their drug testing efforts. If your prospective employer has around 100 employees or has government or private financial backing, you can bet your bottom dollar that you will be tested; if not for pre-employment, then at some point during your tenure with that company. To simplify things, your prospective employer is only testing for illegal drugs during a drug screening. They cannot, by law, test for pregnancy or medical conditions during a drug test. Thankfully, prospective employers cannot run your urine, hair, saliva or blood and see what substances or activities in which you have engaged over the last ten years. Such actions are not only illegal – they are currently impossible. In this Guide, you will learn how long the chemical traces, or metabolites, stay in your system (for example, marijuana can stay in your blood stream for as long as two months!). The Department of Defense requires...

...the birth certificates blank, it was not because of any dispute over patrimony. More likely, she was just skittish about the fact that her husband, Joaquín Guzmán, is the C.E.O. of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, a man the Treasury Department recently described as the world’s most powerful drug trafficker. Guzmán’s organization is responsible for as much as half of the illegal narcotics imported into the United States from Mexico each year; he may well be the most-wanted criminal in this post-Bin Laden world. But his bride is a U.S. citizen with no charges against her. So authorities could only watch as she bundled up her daughters and slipped back across the border to introduce them to their dad. Known as El Chapo for his short, stocky frame, Guzmán is 55, which in narco-years is about 150. He is a quasi-mythical figure in Mexico, the subject of countless ballads, who has outlived enemies and accomplices alike, defying the implicit bargain of a life in the drug trade: that careers are glittering but brief and always terminate in prison or the grave. When Pablo Escobar was Chapo’s age, he had been dead for more than a decade. In fact, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Chapo sells more drugs today than Escobar did at the height of his career. To some extent, this success is easily...
