...President Barack Obama’s secretary of education, Arne Duncan, made the case for passing the DREAM Act on two counts: benefits to the economy and to national security. “The result will be a new generation of college graduates who will help strengthen our economic security and a new set of future taxpayers who will contribute much more as college graduates than they ever would as struggling workers moving from one under-the-table job to another.”In the documents of the DREAM Act, this part out of the document explains how Obama’s secretary of education, Arne Duncan, was trying to allow the DREAM Act to pass. Arne Duncan, proposed two benefits for passing the DREAM Act, benefits to the economy and to national security.

One of Freud’s most famous works, the Dora case study is typically praised for the scientific empiricism of Freud’s method, as well as for its identification of, among others, the phenomenon known as transference. ------------------------------------------------- Hysteria in the Twentieth Century Although no longer a recognized illness, hysteria (specifically female hysteria) was until the mid-twentieth century a common medical diagnosis for extreme emotional excess. Since its earliest diagnoses in ancient Greece, it was deemed an exclusively female condition, which manifested itself in a wide range of symptoms. Freud believed that hysteria stemmed from psychologically traumatic sexual experiences in the patient’s past, or from problems in the patient’s sexual life; thus, it was to be treated typically, although not exclusively, with some sort of genital stimulation. By the twentieth century...

...Rob Williams Prof. Williamson Social Movements 17 December 2013 The DREAM Act When considering social movements, we think about a social or political development aimed at advancing a group of people or organization whose significance lies in their uniqueness. This advancement is not a literal, physical progression, but rather a symbolic movement with the intent to foster support and progress past some deeply imbedded issues. Today in the United States, we are at the center of attention for a social movement that is quite literally, a physical movement. Illegal immigration from Mexico and South American countries continues to be one of the most controversial and debated matters of public policy. The United States allows for an annual limit of roughly 675,0001 immigrants to legally enter our borders, which is extremely conservative relative to other countries. This very limited number forces the majority of immigrants from south of the border to either enter completely illegally, or overstay a temporary work visa issued by our government. While dealing with these illegal aliens serves to be a contentious problem by itself, an even more pressing issue rises to the surface when debating the rights of their children. Thomas Humphrey Marshall described the evolution of citizenship from civil, to political, and finally to social. This idea of social citizenship explained the governmental rights that citizens were guaranteed, “to live the life of a civilized being.”2 The two...

...A person’s state of consciousness is defined as the individual’s awareness of his or her own thoughts, memories, emotions, and external stimuli in their specific environment. In recent years, researchers have explored states of consciousness during sleep and have debated whether or not people who perform actions while asleep are actually in a reduced state of consciousness. Many cases in the past have shown people completing complicated and often unbelievable actions while sleeping. Some instances include sleep eating, sleep sex and even sleep murder. One case in particular that caused much controversy is the Kenneth Park’s sleep murder case. Parks was a 23-year-old Toronto man with a wife and infant daughter. Parks had severe anxiety and insomnia due to his own gambling debts and lack of a job. Parks stole $32,000 from the electric company that employed him and was later fired after charges were brought against him....

...Analyzing the DREAM Act Controversy Immigration reform has become a topic of a lot of debate among United States’ politicians in the past few years. Ever since its introduction in the Senate on August 1, 2001, the DREAM Act has been in the center of a lot of disputes. Every year, 65,000 teenagers who arrived at the United States illegally graduate from American high schools. Boys and girls that were brought into the United States by their parents at an early age, and who see this country as their home. However, most of these students will be denied a college education, as well as a fair chance to pursue their goals and ambitions, all because they are undocumented citizens.

Many liberals believe that the dream is dead because the income gap known as “income inequality” but despite the fact that liberals have that belief, income inequality actually helps people acquire the “American Dream”. Income inequality acts as a motivation for the less fortunate, or even a wake up call. So this gap is what help humans gain this area of success in life known as “The American Dream”. The “American Dream” is more than just making money or having a job, it...

...The DREAM On Rhetorical Review The children of immigrant parents’ having dreams of becoming an American citizen, may not become a dream after all according to Mark Krikorian’s DREAM On review. The author uses logos to persuade the audience by giving examples to convey his issues and context in his article about the 2010 Dream Act bill Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s passed in the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 216 to 198. Nancy Pelosi stated “The Dream Act is about Pedro Ramirez, a student government president at California State University, Fresno. He was brought here when he was 3 years old and was unaware of his lack of citizenship until he was a senior in high school.” The authors’ interpretation of the Dream Act age requirement differs from Pelosi’s and Reid’s bill, the author claims the Dream Act encourages massive fraud on filing for citizenship by immigrants by claiming false work histories, and finally the author claims the children who are legalized, their parents or relatives are put in limbo by...

...Dreams Dreams have been objects of boundless fascination and mystery for humankind since the beginning of time. These nocturnal vivid images seem to arise from some source other than our ordinary conscious mind. They contain a mixture of elements from our own personal identity, which we recognize as familiar along with a quality of `others' in the dream images that carries a sense of the strange and eerie. The bizarre and nonsensical characters and plots in dreams point to deeper meanings and contain rational and insightful comments on our waking situations and emotional experiences. The ancients thought that dreams were messages from the gods. The cornerstone of Sigmund Freud's infamous psychoanalysis is the interpretation of dreams. Freud called dream-interpretation the via reggia, or the royal road to the unconscious, and it is his theory of dreams that has best stood the test of time over a period of more than seventy years (Many of Freud's other theories have been disputed in recent years). Freud reportedly admired Aristotle's assertion that dreaming is the activity of the mind during sleep (Fine, 1973). It was perhaps the use of the term activity that Freud most appreciated in this brief definition for, as his understanding of the dynamics of dreaming increased, so did the impression of ceaseless mental activity differing in quality from that of ordinary waking life (Fine, 1973). In fact, the quality of mental activity during sleep differed so radically from what we take...

...How do dreams differ in people with schizophrenia to from those without the disorder? Kristin Staub Brookfield High School Dreaming is a vital part in sleeping, yet in some individuals it interferes in their waking state. For example, schizophrenics have hallucinatory images while they’re not sleeping causing some psychologists to speculate why this happens. People without the disorder and other people with other disorders have been found to dream while they’re in REM sleep which is a major mental process that allows people to dream. The following articles, “Sleep Fantasy in Normal and Schizophrenic Persons,” “An Extension of Freud and Jung’s Theory of Relation of Dream States to Schizophrenia,” “The Neurochemistry of Waking and Sleeping Mental Activity: The Disinhibition-Dopamine Hypothesis,” “Dream Content of Schizophrenics, Nonschizophrenic Mentally Ill, and community Control Adolescents,” “Sleep Disturbance in Schizophrenia” “Rorschach Responses Subsequent to REM Deprivation in Schizophrenic and Nonschizophrenic Patients,” attempt to explain the problem statement: How do dreams differ in people with schizophrenia to those without the disorder, through REM sleep in normal individuals and schizophrenics. Dream content will also be investigated to answer the problem statement and certain sleep habits. In addition Jung’s and Freud’s theory attempt to explain how dreaming is connected with schizophrenia in their conscious state rather than in their sleeping state through...

... in clear entertaining, first person-prose a first rate primer on the latest {"indings in sleep science. It speaks with the voice of a mature, humane, sane, and brilliant clinician. Most impressively it lays out in convincing detail the argument for the theory of the 24 mind. That theory, as I understand it, suggests that selected regions of the mind/brain are active and functional 24 hours a day. The mind sleeps both at night and during the day and conversely it does not just simply shut off during sleep, but instead performs vital physiologic and cognitive functions during sleep. REM sleep and dreams may help to down-regulate disturbing emotions. Portions of NRFM sleep may help to select memories that will be passed onto to REM for sorting and then long term storage. Unlike other sleep scientists Cartwright never neglected the role of dreams in the theory of the 24 hour Mind.

...Through this process, we can learn new responses to environmental stimuli as the behaviourist approach says all behaviour is learned The SLT would consider how children could learn aggression both directly and indirectly. * For example a child may be given attention for throwing a temper tantrum, and this is positively reinforcing for them as it act as a reward (learn aggression directly). SLT mainly would focus on how children would learn aggression from seeing others (indirect learning). * For example a child may observe their older sibling having a tantrum and receiving sweets from their mum to pacify them. Due to vicarious reinforcement, the younger child will think that if they behave like this too, they will also receive sweets. This is known as observational learning/modelling. Studies carried out by Bandura illustrate how children will imitate the behaviour of others and model their behaviour on them Social learning theory. In one study it was found that children were more likely to behave aggressively if they had seen an adult being rewarded for their aggression. The study supports SLT of aggressions as it shows that children will learn through vicarious reinforcement i.e....

...increase of illegal immigrants in the U.S. A debate has arisen over the amount of action that has been exerted on the purposes. There are immigrants coming to America from all over the world today in search of the American dream. However, the greatest concern at this time is Mexico. Smuggling aliens has become more frequent every year. The smugglers are willing to go to great steps to smuggle people across and are escaping before they get caught. These smugglers are making hundreds and thousands of dollars to get these immigrants across the borders. Very few are actually caught and the illegal immigrants enter this country and disappear. Most of the illegal immigrants at this time are coming from Mexico, which means the bordering states are the major concern. When it comes to the topic of illegal immigrants or anytime the term “illegal immigrant” is brought up it is safe to say that many, or most Americans conjure up images of desperate migrants sneaking across the Mexican border. There is another side to America’s immigration problem, however, that most know very little about; those who come with valid, temporary visas and do not return home. Most of the visa over stays are for work, and some are for school purposes. According to a 2006 Pew Hispanic Center study, (Pewhispanic.org, 2006), nearly half of the 12 million-plus illegal aliens in America arrived legally with temporary, non-immigrant visas. Opponents of illegal immigration say that people who break the law...
