...Running head: GOOD WILL HUNTING: A THERORETICAL REVIEW Good Will Hunting: Existential and Person-Centered Theoretical Review Counseling Theories Abstract Review the film, Good Will Hunting (1997) directed by Gus Van Sant. This film portrays how the therapeutic process of two foundational theories of counseling and psychotherapy, Existential and Person-centered, successfully opened a door in a futile young man’s search for meaning in life. Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon), a young genius with a haunting past and a long aberrant relationship with the law. Sean (Robin Williams), a therapist trying to deal with dark tragedies of his own, struggles with Will in identifying his meaning in life, while rediscovering his own, works these therapeutic processes masterfully as he journeys with Will in discovering self-awareness, and the anxieties he experiences from the freedom of responsibility for his lifestyle and destiny (Corey, 2013). Sean, through his congruence and experiences, also helps Will see that it is human nature to strive for phenomenological self-actualization, and that we have the freedom and responsibility to change those perceptions of reality (Corey, 2013) Good Will Hunting: Existential and Person-Centered Theoretical Review Good Will Hunting, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1998, is a film that highlights the benefits of therapy for what Corey (2013) calls the “underlying conflicts that bring people into counseling and therapy,” which...

... American Intercontinental University Online New Product Idea for Triangle Solutions With this particular location of Triangle Solutions in Texas it would make sense that the product created would be marketable in this area. It is well known that hunting is one of the favorite pass times in this state. The invention in this case would be a camera that could be attached to a bow for hunting and the target market is men and women that enjoy to hunt in their spare time. This camera would not only take a series of photos and videos during a hunt but it would also have the ability to calculate the range between the hunter and the game. This particular product would be called Pin Point Video. Of course there are already items on the market that can calculate the range as this could but they cannot be attached to a bow for easy viewing and they do not capture pictures and video. This is something that would be a convenient product for bow hunters to possess because it would help them know when they are in range and it would catch the moments on film for later viewing. Though Texas is big on hunting this would not be the only place for this product to be marketed. All of the world there are people that enjoy hunting. Because it would be an entrepreneurship, finding the best way to achieve success without putting more money into it than necessary until the success is determined would be the number one priority. In the USA there are roughly 12.5 million people that hunt...

...| The Omnivore Review | A review on Michael Pollans “The Omnivore dilemma” | | Cody Windsor Harrington | DeVry University | The Omnivore Review As agriculture technology continues to advance in the new world most of us have lost our pre historic skills of basic survival when it comes to hunting and gathering. America’s agriculture logistics are so well developed that most Americans relay on this system to stay alive. A small portion of people out there still remain intact with their pre historic agriculture skills. That is what Author Michael Pollan writes about In Part 3, Chapters 15, 16, and 17 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Michael Pollan talks about looking for different foods, the ethics of hunting animals and harvesting the meat as well as giving a brief look into what brought about the paradox of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Chapters 15, 16, and 17 bring up a lot of good points about foraging and hunting. Pollan provides in depth detail and research on the topics. The difficult part is staying focused on the story the author is illustrating. Pollan tends to bounce around on different topics and drags out details making it difficult to keep the reader entertained. Chapter 15 of Omnivore's Dilemma discusses how Pollan is preparing to make a meal from all of the foraging groups. Fruits, vegetables, fungi, and meat were the components that made up this meal. His goal was to find and gather enough from each group to make his first meal from nature. Pollan discusses...

...Big game hunting is a very controversial subject, however, it is also a very widely practiced sport among the wealthy, but should it remain a legal activity? In media, there is a clear bias against big game hunting, and you can see why as animals to most people are amazing and beautiful, but what we never see is the other side or the big game hunter’s perspective. In the duration of this essay, I hope to show you both sides of the argument from a nonbiased perspective, and also clearly state my perspective on the legality of this sport. Should Big Game Hunting and Canned Hunts continue to be a legal industry in our world? The first thing I’d like to bring into question is the legality of the sports. The sports are legal...

...Research Paper “The Neolithic Revolution” Contents: 1. Introduction…………………………………………………………………………..3 2. Literature review……………………………………………………………………..4 3. Neolithic revolution…………………………………………………………………..6 4. Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………….9 5. Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………10 Introduction The most important technological development ever to occur in human history was the domestication of plants (agriculture) and animals (pastoralism). Together these developments are called the Neolithic Revolution. To understand how the Neolithic Revolution occurred it is necessary to understand the economic system it replaced. Until the Neolithic, and in most areas for a long time after, all humans engaged in an economic activity called "hunting and gathering". This system is called "food extraction" as opposed to "food production" by agriculture and pastoralism. This period, which occurred between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago, brought along many profound changes to human society and culture, including the creation of cities and permanent dwellings, labor specialization, the baking of bread, personal property, more complex hierarchical social structures, non-agricultural crafts, slavery, the state, official marriage, personal inheritance, and more. I’ve chosen this topic because we can’t imagine our life, if there were not such a revolution. What would we be without the Neolithic Revolution? I think without the Neolithic...

...| Allowing Crossbow Hunting Near Schools and Hospitals | A Recipe for Disaster | | Richard Eastman | 2/27/2013 | Composition, DVUO, Professor: Geoffrey Smith, 2/15/13 Seven -year-old Aryanna Schneeberg was innocently playing outside her home on May 20th, 2012. She was playing with her sister and a friend when suddenly she was struck with an arrow. “The arrow entered her back, puncturing her lung, her stomach, diaphragm and liver”(Roberts, 2012). This is a scary scenario for everyone involved and it happens in yards across America every year. Crossbows near schools and hospitals are not beneficial, because of accidental shootings, the users can get hurt, and it could traumatize children. First, a 16-year-old was arrested in June for accidentally shooting Aryanna with an arrow. He know that it was against the law to shoot his bow in the city, but he was shooting at a squirrel. Circuit Court Judge Dale English decided that the teen could be tried as an adult. This accident happened in Campbellsport, Wisconsin on May 20th 2012 (Roberts, 2012). A 23-year-old man was arrested for shooting an arrow into a house." The arrow just missed Erica Russell's daughter”(Year, 2010). Police arrested Philip Niccloy for reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. A 24-year-old man was found unconscious with a crossbow...

...CHAPTER 2 – LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION Literature review is to do a research on similar topics that are concerned with the proposed system. This is with an idea of suggesting the best methods of information management through the use of data warehouse concepts for the proposed Greenville School Hostel Management System. The result of literature review gives us information with regard to the research done on the topic by others researchers. Result of this review will be the gaps that are found in the existing works and the good features that can be suggested for the proposed system. A data warehouse is projected in a way that data can be stored and accessed and is not restricted only to tables and relational lines. (Fink, 1998) As the data warehouse is separated from operational databases, user’s queries do not cause any impact in these systems. Data warehouse is protected from any non-authorized alteration or loss of data. Data warehouse contemplates the base and the resources needed for a Decision Support System (DSS), supplying historic and integrated data. These data are for top managers, decision makers, and partners, donors – who need brief, summarized and integrated information – and for low-level managers, for whom detailed data helps to observe some tactical aspects of the organization. In this way, data warehouse provides a specialized. For a centralized database oracle will be used for storing details of data being brought from different hostel location...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli (Matschie, 1904), a subspecies of the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla, is found in contiguous forest patches bordering South-Southern Nigeria and South-Western Cameroon, an area recognized as a biodiversity hotspot characterized by species diversity and endemism (Edet, 2011). The subspecies is one of the most critically endangered primates of Africa (Oates et al., 2008; IUCN, 2013). The subspecies is also one of the world’s 25 most endangered primates (Mittermeier et al., 2009). As humans extend their land use, Cross River gorilla habitat is rapidly disappearing, and this may have adverse effects on number of individuals within the subspecies. The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli, chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes vellorosus) and drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus), though legally protected by the Endangered Species Decree 11 of 1985, are some of the primates hunted for bushmeat and other purposes (Edet, 2011). The Major threat to the survival of the subspecies is lack of thorough conservation strategy necessary for its protection. The survival of this endangered species and ecosystems depends on long-term participation and understanding of local populations (Oates, 1999). Due to the close relationship between cultural diversity and biodiversity, traditional knowledge systems play an important role when developing species conservation and management strategies (Caldecott...

...over to Cnet.com and read some reviews of various cameras, watch the video demos, identify the model you want. Then perhaps you employ Google’s shopping search to price out the options and find the best deal. All of the sudden, it’s four hours later. You’ve found the perfect camera, but your purchasing triumph is tainted by a creeping feeling of, well, disgust. Couldn’t that time have been used better?I was thinking recently about what my biggest distractions were – the things keeping me from pushing my creative projects forward. As I scanned through my daily activities, I found that the most insidious distraction was, in fact, things. More specifically, the wanting, hunting, and getting of things – whether they be tangible (a new computer) or intangible (information). As Annie Leonard says in The Story of Stuff, “Our primary identity has become that of being consumers – not mothers, teachers, or farmers, but of consumers. We shop and shop and shop.” We love our stuff. Yet more than the stuff itself, we love the act of finding it – the search, the anticipation. But why is consumerism – and particularly, an online hunt for the ideal purchase – so addictive? It turns out that our consumerist impulse stimulates the same part of the brain that fires when we’re on the trail of a great idea. As we go through the trial and error of executing an idea – What if I tried this? Ah! Now what about this? – we’re using those same wanting, hunting, getting instincts but in a nobler...

PROBLEM: The fast track land reform program (FTLRP) in Zimbabwe did not adequately address disaster management and environmental sustainability. The process was chaotic and failed to meet the real needs of the people but in fact strived to achieve political agendas. The FTLRP was poorly planned because there was no supportive infrastructure and systems that were meant to assist the newly resettled famers. As such production on the farms dropped significantly leading to the farmers engaging in other livelihood activities which were detrimental to the environment and which increased the vulnerability of the people to drought.

...Management will obtain liability insurance. Management will also determine what will be considered real, intellectual property, labor and employment issues. Management is responsible for selecting the best way to obtain the resources needed for the business. Based on previous data on battered women shelters, their survival is determined by allocating funding through donations. In order to do this, a mission statement, and plan of operation has to be completed. Management should begin fundraising projects. Letters should be mailed to request monetary donations, supplies, and volunteers for the business. Management should contact local churches, restaurants, stores and ask if they are interested in adopting this project. Another good thing for management to be would to contact women dominated business and local YWCA. These businesses are more likely to become main contributors. Social and Economic Environment The social environment includes the structure of family. It will be the company’s social responsibility to create a functional environment. To empower women and mothers, by building self-esteem, educating, and delivering independence. I am a firm believer, greatness starts from within.
