...14, 2012 Summary: Chapter 8 We couldn’t get along without him. We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason. Two-Bit and Ponyboy go to see Johnny and Dally in the hospital. Johnny, weak and pale, whispers that he would like Ponyboy to finish reading Gone with the Wind to him. His mother shows up to visit, but she is a mean-spirited, nagging woman and Johnny refuses to see her. As Ponyboy and Two-Bit leave, she accosts them and blames them for Johnny’s condition, and Two-Bit insults her. Dally is recovering nicely in the hospital, and for the first time ever Ponyboy feels warmly toward Dally. Dally says that Tim Shepard, the leader of another gang of greasers, came in to talk about the rumble. Dally asks for Two-Bit’s black-handled switchblade, and Two-Bit gladly hands over his prized possession without even asking why Dally needs it. On the way home, Ponyboy and Two-Bit see Cherry Valance in her Corvette. She says that the Socs have agreed to fight with no weapons. Ponyboy asks her to go see Johnny, but she says she cannot because Johnny killed Bob. She says that Bob had a sweet side and was only violent when drunk, as he was when he beat up Johnny. Ponyboy calls her a traitor, but he quickly forgives her. He asks her if she can see the sunset on the West Side, and when she says she can, he tells her to remember that he can see it on the East Side too Chapters 11–12 Danielle Nowak Ms. Adams English 8a November 14, 2012 Summary: chapter 9 Stay gold...

...What Do You Say After You Say Hello? By, Eric Berne Book Review by Suresh A M, I semester, MBA, JSSCMS Eric Berne was a psychoanalyst who became well known in the 1970s for his system of "transactional analysis", the transactions in question being mostly those between a young child and its parents. He proposed various structures for this relationship based on the roles parent/adult/child that every person plays and presents life stories as scripts that can be good or bad. This book is considered by many to be Eric Berne's sequel to Games People Play. Although Berne published other books since Games People Play was released in 1964, most of those works were oriented towards those trained in psychotherapy and not towards the individuals who made Games People Play a two-year bestseller. The book is his last book completed just before his death in 1970. Berne's bad luck was that he wrote the book in 1970 when psychology was going through a bad patch with a flood of bizarre systems appearing. The good gets lost with the bad and transactional analysis now tends to be labeled as an outmoded California fashion related to Freudianism. In the preface he says that the book is "primarily intended as an advanced textbook of psychotherapy, and professionals of different backgrounds should have no difficulty in translating into their own dialects the short and simple annals of transactional analysis. No doubt some non-professionals will read it too, and for that reason I have tried to make...

...4MAT Review McMinn Billy Madison Liberty University Summary In this book Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling McMinn drew in on the basic concepts on a Christian’s life along with the basic concepts which we believe Christian counselors focus on. He focused on spirituality, theology, and psychology along with the daily battles faced by Christian counselors in their personal and professional lives. In the book McMinn went into the most important components in the life of a Christian being prayer, scripture, confession, sin, forgiveness, and redemption and broke down in all the ways we are affected during our counseling sessions. In the book we are left with personal experiences from the author in which prayer and scripture should be used and in how much we should use them when dealing with each component in the life of a Christian. Many counselors are faced with regular struggles on knowing and deciding when it is the appropriate time to use scripture and the various biblical readings in there sessions because of various reasons such as not wanting to offend their clients, not wanting to have the client feel as if they are being judged, and not wanting to puncture another wound in an already broken individuals situation (McMinn 2011). The book began to open me up when McMinn stated that “Christian counseling is more complex than other forms of counseling because our goals are multifaceted” (McMinn 2011 pg. 39). He opened readers up to the fact...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE INTRODUCTION Premarital sex is sexual intercourse engaged in by persons who are unmarried. It is used in concern to individuals who are not yet of marriageable age or between adults who will surely marry eventually, but who are engaging in sexual activity prior to marriage. Sex is pleasurable, but in God's view, the primary purpose of sex is not recreation, but rather re-creation. In other words, sex is for reproduction. God does not limit sex to married couples to deprive pleasure from those who are unmarried. Rather, God commands against premarital sex in order to protect unmarried people from unwanted pregnancies, from children born to parents who do not want them, and to protect children from parents who are not prepared for them. Imagine, for a moment, a world without premarital sex. There would be no sexually-transmitted diseases, there would be no un-wed mothers, there would be no unwanted pregnancies, there would be no abortions, etc. To have physical intercourse is sex. Whether it is two unmarried partners or one married an done not - it is sex. Participating up to a point of actual physical intercourse, such as having oral sex, is sex. There are many factors to consider in this choice. Included in these factors are unwanted pregnancies, unwanted children, life-long emotional effects, regret, broken hearts and guilt are among them. The consequences of sexual immorality is breaking the law. The Bible contains many verses dealing...

...Graduation is the action of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated, where students become graduates. The graduation ceremony is a cultural tradition that is considered a rite of passage. The ceremony marks a transition from one stage in a student's life to another. Before the graduation, candidates are referred to as grandaunts. The date of graduation is often called graduation day. The graduation itself is also called commencement, convocation or invocation. In case of study and education graduation is the meaning of getting a higher degree of three years after 10+2 from a university or college, but that degree must come under the degree of graduation. Quite apart from that though, the graduation ceremony fulfills an essential human function as a ritual of transition, in this case marking the move from student to worker. The whole idea of graduation is believed to have started in the 12th Century, introduced by scholastic monks who wore robes during the entire graduation ceremony. It has kept on evolving ever since. Gill, L. (2012, January 15). Convocation and its importance. Graduation. Retrieved August 7, 2012. Scholars, especially anthropologists, consider graduation to be a rite of passage. A rite of passage is a ritual that marks a change from one stage of life to the next in a person’s life. The pomp and ceremony of the graduation ceremony can lend itself to accusations of irrelevance and elitism. Such criticisms I think...

Without their invaluable assistance I would not have been able to have completed this work. i SUMMARY Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) are crucial to the operation and development of the Internet. However, through the performance of their basic functions, they faced the great risk of civil and criminal liability for unlawful content posted by third parties. As this risk threatened the potential of the Internet, various jurisdictions opted to promulgate legislation that granted ISP’s safe harbours from liability. The South African (RSA) response is Chapter XI of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA). The protection it provides is however not absolute. It is limited to ISP’s that are members of an Industry Representative Body (IRB) and those ISP’s must perform particular functions in relation to third party content in a certain manner to obtain limited liability. Due to the ECTA’s limited application and a...

There is information on how children are taught, and the way their learning behaviors develop in Japan, as well as compared to that of our American curriculums. Anyone can be under stress, students are one group of people who especially during those angst teenage years undergo a vast majority of stress. A survey by the American Psychological Association found that nearly half of all teens — 45 percent — said they were stressed by school pressures. (Neighmond). In the report we will try to compare the differences between what students in the United States go through in comparison to those in Japan. In Japan the Japanese teaching guidelines are very different from what we here are used to. In Japan children are not separated based on how well or bad they are performing in school rather their age, and they are expected to have the diligence to simply catch upon their own. Not only are the teaching styles different, nor just the way students learn, the schools themselves are different. The school calendar year in Japan is longer than that of the U.S, thus resulting in higher stress in Students. We reviewed how the stressors Japanese students undergo, has lead to an increase...

...Feeling Accepted and Appreciated Douglas Bosted EDU 490 Daisha Oshiro August 8, 2011 Feeling Accepted and Appreciated Everyone and everything has value. Some things are valued more because of their beauty or because of how rare the item is. Other things only have value to one person. But what gives an item its value? It is feelings and emotions. Our emotions play such a huge role in our daily lives. It is these feelings and emotions that we associate with certain things, which cause us to place value in them. These feelings can be powerful motivators. As educators it is vitally important to find out what is important to the students and how to connect with them as early as possible. Taking the time to get to know the students on a deeper level can pay big dividends down the road. How you feel directly influences how you think and solve problems (Jensen, 2008. p. 82). How many times have you gotten out of your bed and stubbed your toe, and then your day went downhill from there. Nothing seemed to go right; if something could go wrong, it did. But, how many times have you gotten out of bed really awake and refreshed from the previous night’s sleep and had a great day. In both instances, it wasn’t the events happening, it was the emotion you put with the experience. This is why it is so important to foster a positive learning environment. To this day I don’t care for math because of some negative experiences I had with a couple of teachers in school. We butted...

Truancy exist among secondary school student who prefers to stay outside the classroom which now leads to truants. It seems now a phenomenon that has come to stay in our school and institution of higher learning such as colleges of Education, polytechnics and universities as well as secondary school and primary school levels. In the context of school system, Anigbogu (2004) writes that truancy is one who absents oneself from classes or school-functions without permission. This could be inform of late attendance to schools and classes, resuming after some days or even weeks from the beginning of each term and without any good reasons or permission. According to a research carried out by Igbo (2006) on the secondary school students at Anambra East local Government Area of Anambra state shows that truancy is more rampant in our secondary school because the students are in their adolescence stage when they want to be noticed and there by creating air of freedom around them.

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Child abuse is a global problem that has received tremendous attention in Western Countries. Not until recently was it confirmed that child abuse really existed in Africa generally and Nigeria in particular. The term “Child Abuse” refers to intention acts that result in physical or emotional harm to children. Child abuse covers a wide range of behaviour from physical assault by parents or other adult caretakers to neglect of child basic need. Traditionally, parent or adult have been entrusted by the society with the responsibility of caring for and guiding their children best interest. Observations have shown that parents or guardians differ in their ability to care for and protect their children. Thus the extent of child abuse is difficult to measure, culture around t he world have different standards in dealing in what constitutes child abuse. In Sweden, for example, the law prohibits any physical punishment of children, including spanking. By contrast, in some countries of Asia, Africa and the Caribbean parents are expected to punish their children by hitting them. Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with that, but in cases where families or adults engage in practices that interfere with or inhibits a child, generally welfare and educational development, calls for serious concern in Africa in general cannot be left out in this performance problems. Often, feelings of guilt violation and lowered self esteem have...
