...1. The beginning of the war is what prompts Wormwood to become “delirious with joy”. 2. In response to the war, Screwtape tells Wormwood to give him a full account of the patient’s reactions to the war, so that they can consider whether Wormwood is better off making the patient an extreme patriot or an ardent pacifist. Following this, Screwtape warns Wormwood to not hope too much from a war. 3. The “real business” of demons it to undermine the faith and to prevent the formation of virtues. 4. What delights Screwtape about the patient’s age and profession is that the patient is of the proper age and profession to be considered for military service. Screwtape wants the patient to be as confused as possible about the war. The patient does not know if he will be called, ergo he is uncertain and susceptible to Wormwood’s efforts. Analysis:...

...Matthew Schultz Professor Lupinacci English 101 CRN 30819 3/26/2013 Critical Response 5 Exploration of American Society There are many viewpoints when looking at a society. Most of our judgments given on a society are based off of our own values. This is the case for analyzing the reading for this prompt. After reading the selection, I felt that is was more of an exploration of society along with a critique of American society because of occupation/opportunity, and association. In the story, it talks about how the Chang family came to acquire ownership of a pancake house. The business was very profitable according to the text, causing the Chang family to be up high in the middle class or even upper class of American society. This came to be an occupation for the family. To me this is an exploration of American society because the story is being described from an owner of a restaurant’s point of view. From the father’s perspective, he is practicing what any business owner would practice today. For example, the one section talked about how some of the workers are unsatisfied with their working conditions, consequently he fires them or they leave their job. This is how America works today. If an employee is not performing up to standards, he/she is let go. This can be seen as a critique as well because the owner of the pancake house was asking his employees to perform outlandish requests. One needs to look at the other side as well. If someone is unhappy with their...

BERNSTEIN University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana Summary-The use is described of participant modeling procedures in the treatment of a longstanding and debilitating fear of closed places. Objective and subjective data collected immediately after treatment showed dramatic improvements which were maintained at 33 month follow-up. Participant modeling is a treatment technique emphasizing therapist demonstration of approach to graded in vivo fear stimuli, guided rehearsal by the client of progressively more difficult approach responses, and independent responses client performance of those (Bandura, 1976), This treatment package (also termed “contact desensitization” (Ritter, 1%8) has been used to attenuate fear responses to Bandura, targets such as snakes (e.g., Blanchard and Ritter, 1969; Blanchard, 1970; Ritter, 1968; Thase and Moss, 1976), heights (e.g., Ritter, 1969), water (e.g., Lewis, 1972*), rats (e.g., Lick and Bootzin, 1970), and dogs (MacDonald, 1975; Richards and Siegel, 1978). Comparative research would indicate that participant modeling is superior to other techniques commonly employed to promote fear reduction (Bandura, 1976), but Leitenberg (1976) notes a limitation to that research, namely...

...Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………...12 The human race is afflicted by kidnappings, poverty, murder and oppression. The question men have struggled with is how can a good God allow such evil to continue? On a moral level, an even better question would be is the evil man experiences at the hands of other men, a result of God’s divine plan or the effect of man’s free will? Answering these questions is important because uncovering the reason for ongoing evil has challenged some to the point, they have denied their faith and joined a corps of atheists who promote the idea that the presence of suffering, pain and evil are the best testament to a non-existent God. When arguing against the existence of God, one might be presented with attempts to use His divine attributes of omnipotence (all powerful), omniscience (all knowing) and omnibenevolence (all good) against Him. The dilemma of the presence of evil in the midst of a creation that God deemed good (Genesis 1:31) would appear to make God seem as if he is unable to stop the world’s evil, unaware of the impact of the world’s evil or a participant in the world’s evil. Each of these positions would appear to negate the supreme authority of the living God. On the other hand, does man’s God-given free will...

So, “christology” would discuss how Jesus came to be called the Messiah or Christ and what was meant by that designation. In a broader sense, “christology” discusses any evaluation of Jesus in respect to who he was and the role he played in the divine plan. Scholars distinguish different kinds of Christology. “Low christology” covers the evaluation of him in terms that do not necessarily include divinity, e.g. Messiah, Rabbi, Prophet, High Priest, Savior, Master. “High christology” covers the evaluation of Jesus in terms that include...

...Running Head: INFANTICIDE ACT Infanticide Act 1922 [Name of the Writer] [Name of the Institution] Infanticide Act 1922 Introduction: The term infanticide means murdering of a child under a year by his own mother. Infanticide covers a history longer than expected from human race which is understood as killing of unwanted children of different age groups by fathers and mothers, earlier than it was ever reported in front of legal authorities. It is advocated by the historians that killing of children known as infanticide was practiced more often before modernization and early social life. These periods were the one in parts of the world where social conditions of the world included women to be employed as servants, shame attached to the unwed mothers, no control over fertility and high infant mortality. After the 50s of the 16th century, the criminal activities performed by the poor, the sexual activities of women and the burden of financial support for illegal children all combined moved to prosecution for bastard acts, adultery and crimes of such charge to royal courts from churches. Several studies were conducted regarding the causes of deaths convicted by the mother till 1922, when it was medically observed as to how the psychology affects the mind of the mother to perform such crime. The first medically proved model was adopted in the Infanticide Act 1922 which states that the mother which gave birth to the child is not recovered fully from the psychological conditions...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of the Study Several studies have explored the link between work motivation and job satisfaction; however, different papers continue to confirm conflicting results between the two items. Certain research results have confirmed that job satisfaction and work motivation have a direct and positive correlation, while other research results points out that the two have negative correlation. The present changing international business milieu has unmistakably improved the need to make HR an essential and an important business partner. The changes derive from the rapid speed of globalization, individual organizational changes, competition for the increasing intellectual resource and advances in technology are continuing to present novel and intricate challenges for HR functions and organizations in general. Work motivation and job satisfaction, two key elements that defines today is HRM and have gained more value in deployment and redeployment of talent as the shifts have had serious results to the roles and directions of HR leadership. Non-conventional resource management has in general, played important roles in business performance of business but this is slowly changing as HR takes center stage, this new ways that organizations have attempted to employ employee motivation to tap into job satisfaction, which in turn translates to higher employee output. Certain papers examined the challenges for businesses in creating and promoting the...

...------------------------------------------------- Metacognition by Nancy Chick, CFT Assistant Director ------------------------------------------------- Thinking about One’s Thinking Metacognition is, put simply, thinking about one’s thinking. More precisely, it refers to the processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one’s understanding and performance. Metacognition includes a critical awareness of a) one’s thinking and learning and b) oneself as a thinker and learner. Initially studied for its development in young children (Baker & Brown, 1984; Flavell, 1985), researchers soon began to look at how experts display metacognitive thinking and how, then, these thought processes can be taught to novices to improve their learning (Hatano & Inagaki, 1986). In How People Learn, the National Academy of Sciences’ synthesis of decades of research on the science of learning, one of the three key findings of this work is the effectiveness of a “‘metacognitive’ approach to instruction” (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000, p. 18). Metacognitive practices increase students’ abilities to transfer or adapt their learning to new contexts and tasks (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, p. 12; Palincsar & Brown, 1984; Scardamalia et al., 1984; Schoenfeld, 1983, 1985, 1991). They do this by gaining a level of awareness above the subject matter: they also think about the tasks and contexts of different learning situations and themselves as learners in these different contexts...

...how to prevent it. It also provides information on how to respond to those problems and the importance of teaching and reinforcing new skills. According to Neitzel Positive Behavior Support is used currently as a mode tool to reduce interfering behaviors of individuals with ASD and has been noted to be effective in reducing interfering behavior (Neitzel, 2010). The individual’s environment is to be modified to allow ease of transition and application of new skill to reduce any interfering behavior exhibited by the individual. Characteristic of the Individual Trisha is a nine-year-old girl living with her parents and three siblings in their country house in the outskirt of the city. Their home is large and each of the children has his/her own rooms. She is the only daughter and the last child therefore received full attention from brothers and parents. The parents were not aware of the condition early enough and assumed the development delay was normal since she was a healthy and had not been attacked by any major illness. The father works full time leaving the mother to handle Trisha and her other siblings. At...

Leadership must be present at all levels of the organization. It depends on a million little things done with obsession, consistency, and care, but all of those million little things add up to nothing if the trust, vision, and basic belief are not there.

The first section, also titled “The Sunflower,” is an account of Wiesenthal’s experience as a concentration camp prisoner under the Nazi regime. In the account, Wiesenthal describes his life in Poland prior to the German occupation, his experiences of anti-Semitism within the Polish culture, and his life as a concentration camp prisoner. He describes life in the concentration camp, the continuous humiliations, the hunger, the illness, and the constant threat of death. Central to the narrative in “The Sunflower” is the story of Simon being summoned to the deathbed of a young Nazi soldier whom Simon calls Karl and who has been wounded in combat. Karl confesses to Simon his activities against Jewish people, which he did in the service of the Nazi regime, and tells Simon he cannot die in peace unless Simon, a Jewish person, forgives him for the things he has done to Jewish people. Simon, after hearing the detailed confession, leaves the room without giving forgiveness. This experience haunts him long after the encounter. After the war, Simon tracks...
