...There are many types of therapy that have been included and excluded throughout history. Starting from Freud and his gateway into the subconscious mind and psychoanalysis, there have been many people and innovations in the psychiatric world that have spurred from him. One of those innovations was the Gestalt Theory by Fredrick S. Perls. The background behind Perls and his theory, an analysis of what his theory was and what it did, and how it is still used today, is what is focused on in this paper. Fredrick S. Perls created the Gestalt Theory in the 1940’s and continued to have an influence on culture through the 1950’s. His main interests in existenalism and Eastern religions, and Gestalt psychology contradicted what his Freudian training had taught him, but in the end led him to his well-known Gestalt Theory. “Perls saw the human being as a unified organism, an integration of mental, physical, emotional. And sensory processes expressed in the present moment” (Irving B. & Craighead, 2010). A lot of Perls work had been influenced by Kurt Goldstein, a neurologist, Moreno’s social experimentation, field therapy by Kurt Lewin, and ideas derived from Zen (Gaie, 2003). His theory focused on the less shy and submissive idea of feelings and brought up the value of the client/patient dynamic and the effectiveness of facing the problem head on. Even though all the people and therapy’s listed above had an influence on Perls, he was able to mesh all of what he had learned together...

...years they were designed. Most importantly, there will need to be an interest on the topic so there could be a general discussion on Pop art. This essay will explore the styles and effects of Andy Warhol’s work. The essay will also explore the different kind of paper material he uses to design his images. For example most of his work is done through “Acrylic and silkscreen on Canvas”. This essay will discuss the feelings of why he designs his work on such material. As well as discussing general pop art, the essay will also show the attraction of Pop art and the relevance of pop art in the early years of Graphic design. Pop Art + Andy Warhol The research shows that Pop Art was promoted in the 1950’s to the public as a media source. As this information states "The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products.” (http://www.artchive.com/artchive/pop_art.html) Pop Art use bright and colourful colours.

...Social Setting Project Introduction: For this specific project, I conducted observations at three high end franchise coffee shops; I will not be referring to the names of the individual stores throughout my report, as I have collaborated my findings. For the purposes of reader understanding and introduction, the names of the different coffee factories I observed were: Starbucks, Timothy’s World Coffee, and Second Cup. The purpose of the observations was to document what kind of social interactions are going on in a typical coffee shop, interactions that to the naked eye, seem to be normal. I will explain in this report that these social interactions that are occurring in different coffee shops, are meant to take place. Method: My method of observation was tactical, to say the least. I had decided at the commencement of this field study, that in order to get a precise idea of the social interactions within these institutions, that I would have to visit them at the same time of day, and within the same area. I used this method for my first round of observations and after visiting all three establishments, I came to realize that these coffee shops were only really different in name. I became curious, and decided to investigate the same shops at different points throughout the day. After conducting observations at different times of day, I realized what time it was really didn’t matter; my findings were the same. At each visit, I would purchase a coffee from the “barista”...

...educational purposes or vacation (Bhatia, 2002). These are places where young people from a different social status and nationality meet, places for recreation and friendship. In the hostel, guests often pay for a single bed rather than a room, share a common bathroom, living room and kitchen. It is intended for particular segments of the tourism market, such as young people (Medlik, 2003). Hostels can offer additional services such as food, information, etc. They are mainly located in city centers or near train stations and public transport facilities (Heyns et.al, 2000). The hostel industry, as we know it today, began to develop in 1907, when Richard Schirrmann, a teacher from the small town of Altena in Germany, decided to adapt one of the empty classrooms for an accommodation and overnight stay for students. This idea was not entirely unique, as inns and taverns in Austria already offered accommodation at reduced prices for students since 1885. But Schirrmann had even bigger plans; he managed to develop a movement (Karr, 2014). His idea was to attract students from industrial towns to rural areas. Schirrmann was deeply convinced that walking and cycling in the fresh air is of great importance for the development of youth and their...

...All children in early childhood classrooms need fostering and motivating environments for learning, but for disabled children, many typical experiences need to be modified to promote their development (Turnbull, A., Turnbull, R., & Wehmeyer, M. ,2010). These modifications can, at times, seem overwhelming to the busy classroom teacher who must consider whether to modify the surrounding, the equipment in the classroom, the supplies, the activities, or the opportunity that the child has in the classroom. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Behavioral Issues encompass children with a variety of biological or environmental behavioral issues. “Until the child is five to six years old, most physicians will not diagnose them” (Reif, S.,1993). We do see children exhibit these characteristics as early as preschool and kindergarten. Three- or four year old children are less likely to be diagnosed due to their active life style and being easily distracted through play. “The degree to which this behavior is manifested and interferes with skill acquisition is what separates a typical high activity level from one that is dysfunctional. These children are often in constant motion and may not have had adequate practice in basic developmental skill” (Novick, 1991) Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and Behavioral Disorders encompass characteristics such as: * Cannot attend to any activity for more than a couple of minutes. * Body is in Constant motion * Acts...

...Psychodrama Tamie White Research Paper CP6634, Troy University Professor Capes December 3, 2009 Abstract Psychodrama therapy of Dr. Jacob L. Moreno is very effective in treating certain disorders such as depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma survivors, and it has been used in marital counseling. In psychodrama a person is helped to gain insights through role playing. This helps the person to gain a better understanding of their problems and turn them into more realistic and meaningful thoughts. Psychodrama can be very effective when used correctly and it continues to offer therapists new ways to treat patients. Therapy Psychotherapy is a technique used to change a person’s behavior, thought process, assumptions, and even sometimes their personality. Therapy is a term often used to encompass all acts of psychotherapy under one common theme, to help the client. Therapy today consists of many different types and themes. Some such as Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck suggested that our cognitive processes are responsible for our behavior, thoughts, and emotions and this developed into the cognitive model (Comer, 2004). Others such as Carl Rogers believed in a more client-centered approach that is “non-directive and based in insights gained from conscious thoughts and feelings” (Coon, 2000). Well known therapies include Freudian psychoanalysis...

...something: yourself! You need to "sell" your skills, abilities, qualifications and experience to employers. It can be used to make multiple applications to employers in a specific career area. For this reason, many large graduate recruiters will not accept CVs and instead use their own application form. An application form is designed to bring out the essential information and personal qualities that the employer requires and does not allow you to gloss over your weaker points as a CV does. In addition, the time needed to fill out these forms is seen as a reflection of your commitment to the career. There is no "one best way" to construct a CV; it is your document and can be structured as you wish within the basic framework below. It can be on paper or on-line or even on a T-shirt (a gimmicky approach that might work for "creative" jobs but not generally advised!). When should a CV be used? * When an employer asks for applications to be received in this format * When an employer simply states "apply to ..." without specifying the format * When making speculative applications (when writing to an employer who has not advertised a vacancy but who you hope my have one) What information should a CV include? Personal details Normally these would be your name, address, date of birth (although with age discrimination laws now in force this isn't essential), telephone number and email.

...Nasir 8 October 2015 Our Food Is Harming Us Introduction Many people nowadays go to a grocery store and buy groceries for the house. However, people do not look at the ingredients. If people would see the label on the packed food, they will be confused because they will not understand some of the names of the chemicals. If people realize that the food that they eat every day is harmful to our body because the amount of sugar that is being dumped in the food, they will stop eating that kind of food and start to eat healthy fresh organic food. The food that we eat on a daily basis will affect our long-term health specially the students; also, the food industry does not care about people’s health instead it cares only for money. In this paper, I will show that food industry is destroying people’s health on one hand by putting an enormous amount of sugar and on the other hand making low-fat products. What are the people really eating? Once in my human biology class Dr. Walter Hoeh said: “The food that you eat every day will not kill you now but it will kill you after twenty to thirty years from eating the food, however, eventually you will die from the food.” He explained how food affect us, when we heard the explanation we were shocked because we buy food without reading the ingredient. When you eat processed food it tastes delicious and you crave for more, but you are only eating sugar and harmful fats and that type of sugar and fats are harming the human body. According to...

...Button, Button RICHARD MATHESON The package was lying by the front door-a cube-shaped carton sealed with tape, their name and address printed by hand: "Mr. and Mrs. Aurthur Lewis, 21 7 E. Thirty-seventh Street, New York, New York 10016." Norma picked it up, unlocked the door, and went into the apartment. It was just getting dark. After she put the lamb chops in the broiler, she sat down to open the package. Inside the carton was a push-button unit fastened to a small wooden box. A glass dome covered the button. Norma tried to lift it off, but it was locked in place. She turned the unit over and saw a folded piece of paper Scotch-taped to the bottom of the box. She pulled it off: "Mr. Steward will call on you at 8:00P.M." Norma put the button unit beside her on the couch. She reread the typed note, smiling. A few moments later, she went back into the kitchen to make the salad. The doorbell rang at eight o'clock. ''I'll get it," Norma called from the kitchen. Arthur was in the living room, reading. There was a small man in the hallway. He removed his hat as Norma opened the door. "Mrs. Lewis?" he inquired politely. "Yes?" ''I'm Mr. Steward." "Oh, yes." Norma repressed a smile. She was sure now it was a sales pitch. 103 SHORT STORY DECISIONS DECISIONS "May I come in?" asked Mr. Steward. ''I'm rather busy," Norma said, ''I'll get you your whatchamacallit, though." She started to turn. "Don't you want to know what it is?" Norma turned back. Mr. Steward's tone had been offensive...
