...longer a dependable family tie. Today’s society looks at divorce lightly but there are cases where one should divorce and where one should omit divorce. Couples divorce for many reasons, some matters are solvable other are not. People now a days divorce for dissatisfaction in sexual life, lack of communication, or are having financial problems. These kinds of problems may be solved by going to a marriage council. There are much stronger reasons to why a spouse should divorce. One should divorce if there are emotional or physical abuse, marital infidelity, drug or alcohol addiction and, contradictory differences. As humans, we are not perfect. We make mistakes, and usually learn from them but there are other cases where humans cannot control their behavior. Some bad actions and behaviors are really difficult to change. It takes a lot of time, and strength to overcome. There are problems that one cannot solve. First problem that some couples face is emotional and physical abuse. Couples who are physically or emotionally abused should divorce right away. According to Cathy Meyer, a journal writer from about.com, if he or she hits, slaps, shove or punches their mate, their behavior will continue. The spouse will repeat his or her action. The person who is being abused should know that it is not their fault that no one deserves to be hit, slapped, shove, or punched no matter what the issue is. As a personal experience, I have been a victim of an emotional and physical abuse. I...

...In “Embraced by the Needle” Gabor Mate uses a scientific approach to help persuade the reader to agree with his argument, which is that addiction is not bred from the drug itself, but from the feeling of abandonment or neglect. Mate also uses personal anecdotes from people he has met that have issues with drug abuse. The mixture of the scientific statistics, and personal anecdotes validate his argument, and make the reader agree with what he is saying. In “Embraced by the Needle” Mate discusses the ways in which addiction is bred and how it can eventually take over someones life. Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel. If people grow up in an abusive household and have never experienced a “warm, soft hug”(305), they turn to drugs because it will give them that feeling. Although some may agree with Mate’s argument, the ways in which he gives his evidence and examples lacks all the necessary information needed in order to make a decision on whether you agree or disagree with his argument. In paragraph four Mate uses a scientific example saying, “Only about 8 per cent to 15 per cent of people who try, say alcohol or marijuana, go on to addictive use.” (305) While this statistic may be true, it is difficult to report on how many of those people of that eight to fifteen per cent are using it because they simply have...

...beginning of time people all across the world have been determined to find something called love, to begin a family of their own and enter into a sacred and wild adventure called marriage. Living together and depending on one another for mutual love, support and essential necessities is no easy task. For some the responsibilities of marriage become overwhelming or the problems within a marriage become so serious they cannot be solved, and couples all across the nation are choosing to end their marriage in a divorce. It is sad to say but although most people take their whole lives to decide to enter into marriage, most only take a few moments to consider ending one. Divorce rates continue to rise and rise in modern times and it could easily be said that divorce is the instant gratification married couples are turning to in order to cope in today’s society. There are many factors that go into the decision of ending one’s marriage but some factors that are changing the marriage game today are woman’s growing roles in society as self efficient individuals, economic and financial problems and a lack of communication or proper problem solving efforts and the effects of divorce and even more damaging than the divorce itself. With the edition of the nineteenth amendment to constitution giving women the right to vote in America, it began the journey for women across the nation to transform into the power house individuals that are just as much a part of running this country as men today.

...protecting their reproductive interests. Female jealousy guards resources. Male jealousy guards wombs” (2006, p. 162). Jealousy is created when a human being believes there is a potential threat to a valuable relationship. It can occur in any relationship, but most notably, romantic ones. Men and women experience jealousy differently because it is believed they faced different reproductive obstacles during early human evolution. Men are more likely to exhibit jealousy in response to sexual infidelity, while women are more likely to exhibit jealousy in response to emotional infidelity. Male sexual infidelity stems from the evolutionary reproductive strategy of having as many mates as possible to increase the chances of passing on genes to the next generation. While this tactic may have elevated the need for multiple mates in early human mating, today’s society has enforced a strict relationship between a man and a woman, known as monogamy. In a study conducted by Jeff Ward and Martin Voracek of the School of Psychology at the Australian National University, it was found that of the 268 participants involved, men (44%) were more likely than women (20%) to select sexual intercourse as the most distressing. Also, men (28%) were more likely to find their partner trying different sexual positions more distressing than were women (5%) (2001, p.168). Of these findings, it’s apparent that men and women experience different jealous reactions when it involves romantic relationships. Social...

...team? Within the team we have found that due to our similar back grounds in the military we approach learning in a lot of the same ways. As a group we brain storm and analyze every aspect of the problem to come up with the solution. Although some of us are easier to persuade to one idea to another, all of us require justification in order to allow it to pass the group. Alberto, Marvin, and Mike all use the no non sense approach to problems and class while Tracy tends to look at it more as a 3D more than one way to skin a cat type of out look. It seems that we feed off of one another in a group environment. When one of the team members doesn’t understand the others try to explain it in the easiest way possible. Through the discovery wheel and intelligences exercises we found that the team pretty much has the same learning style and curve. It isn’t hard for any of the members to get their input in or speak up to the other members if there is a difference of opinion. With the exercises so far we have had no problem coming together as a team. 2. What are the advantages of having diversity on a team? What challenges might the team face because of diversity?

Within these skills are the need to recognize the abilities, strengths and weaknesses of others such as learning styles and personality types of which we shall touch on briefly in this writing. Team A, of which I am a proud member, is our example victim for this discussion. According to our team charter rough draft we have three members who show strong Interpersonal learning style traits, and coincidently show the same lack of strength in the Musical style. Team A also has a member who shows strong tendencies toward the Visual-Spatial learning style and weaker Logical-Mathematical traits. Now that we know some of our learning styles we need to identify our Personality types. The team divided unevenly again having three Organizers and one Adventurer.

...the future to accommodate these differences is also discussed. Auditory Stimuli Each team member has his or her own threshold of auditory stimulus. John has a very sensitive threshold and can hear every little noise. He tries not to let it bother him, but sometimes the noise is so loud he needs to leave the room. Deanna also has a low tolerance for loud noises and people speaking loudly. Deanna states “this was not a problem I had when I was younger, just something I’ve notices in the last 3 or 4 years” (D.Danley, personal communication, June 14, 2012). Eliz and Shannon, however, are not bothered by auditory stimuli. Eliz says that “noise, kids, and even loud talking” (E, Jones, personal communication, June 14, 2012) does not bother her. Shannon does not “care about loud noises or annoying tones” (S. Hollock, personal communication, June 14, 2012), but can hear many noises. The team is divided as two team mates have a low threshold for auditory stimuli and two team mates have a high threshold.

...relationship. Financial Stability and Health in Determining Relationship Commitment The years of Late Adolescence, what Arnett (2000) terms Emerging Adulthood, can be characterized as people between the ages of 18-24 who are past high school, possibly in college, but not quite into adulthood. This time in a person’s life is typically when young adults start looking towards their future and everything that may be involved in it. This may include future careers, traveling endeavors, or selecting future mates. For those who may be currently thinking about who their future mate is going to be and for those who are assessing what characteristics they would like their mate to have, it would be interesting to test whether financial stability or health is considered more when selecting a life-long partner. Background Theory Psychologists have researched many aspects of how a person chooses a mate. In several studies (Buunk at al, 2002, Feingold, 1992, & Buss & Schmitt, 1993) researchers have compared choices of males to that of females and the...

Victor seems to have taken the greatest parts of science in addition to human flesh, and create a dangerous, ugly monster. I think that victor realized that some things such as life are better left untouched because when experimentally advanced, can lead to a result society is not read to handle nor consider. Victor would be willing to risk the chance that the monster would go rogue and rather destroy the half built monster he had created. The possibility of both the monsters having children and terrorizing innocent lives was a risk he wasn’t willing to take. This forced him to...
