...work despite their arguing families. This was similar to the way Ralph preserved to make his leadership ideas work on the island. Ralph also used his strong ideas for leadership and worked hard to accomplish the tasks that must have been done to survive. Both Romeo and Ralph were very strong in their ideas and worked hard to keep strong both mentally and physically. The way of speech in the two texts is very different. Romeo speaks in a very poetic language that is much older than the language Ralph uses in Lord of the Flies. Romeo and Ralph went through similar situations throughout each story. Not only did they both experience and go through challenging times, but they both tried to do good when put into tough situations. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo did not want to fight Tybalt, and when Mercutio stepped in to fight in Romeo’s place, he did everything we could to stop them. “Tybalt! Mercutio! The Prince expressly hath forbid this bandying in Verona streets. Hold,...

...Continuing Academic Success Mehgan Matherne GEN/200 April 27, 2015 Rick Guliuzza Continuing Academic Success In order for one to fully achieve greatness and success, they must understand how to apply different strategies throughout their life that they learned during their academic career. One must take personal responsibility for their success in their education and career because you are your biggest contributor to your success. You can attain success by understanding who you are, how you learn, and how to utilize the many resources available to you. One of the most necessary tools to conquer is the process of setting goals. It’s not just necessary to set goals, but you must also understand why you are setting them. I want to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Health Administration by November 2017. I have worked in the healthcare industry since I was 18 years old; however, I never enjoyed the clinical side of the business. As for my career, I want to work in Healthcare Administration at Ochsner Pediatrics Office. My husband had brain surgery in February 2012 at Ochsner, and the entire staff was fantastic. I want to work in the Pediatrics' department because I became a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant in February 2015 and completed my internship at a local pediatrician’s office. I found much self-gratification in working with children because I was able to assist financially strained families by finding them affordable insurance. Setting goals maps out...

...Review: James Petersen By Jacqueline McCluskey Student ID: L24900116 Presented to Dr. Gordon Bals In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Introduction to Pastoral Counseling PACO 500 Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Lynchburg, VA February 3, 2012 PRACTICAL BOOK REVIEW ONE: James Peterson My Summation In the first part of his book, Dr. Petersen introduces the reader to Flat-Brain Theory of Emotions. Through this theory, he explains how emotions, thinking and relating abilities work and how what goes on inside of us comes out in the ways we communicate and act (Petersen 2007, 8). It is through the Flat-Brain Theory that the reader gets an understanding of why at times it is difficult to communicate with others. Also through this theory he explains how when a person’s emotions go into overload how it affects the way they think and interact with others. According to Petersen, emotional and relational overload can negatively affect the ability to hear, see, and speak (23-30). Within the Flat-Brain Theory the stomach begins to expand because it becomes overloaded with different emotions. These emotions then press the heart functions into bricks in the chest, which negatively hinders the ability to relate. This then affects the brain causing it to flatten. The brain becomes pressed against the skull resulting in our thinking, hearing, and seeing to be off. Therefore, the flat-brain person can’t hear well, see accurately, think straight...

...Spirituality in Counseling Integrating Religion and Spirituality In Counseling Anntoni Leonard University of the Cumberlands COUN 636 Abstract Religion and spirituality are arguably among the most important factors which structure human experience, beliefs, values and behavior. Religion and spirituality are clearly important to most Americans; however, most counselors have little or no training in dealing with religious and spiritual issues. Since the mid-1990’s, the integration of spirituality and religion into therapeutic sessions has generated much interest as an area that needs to be addressed with regards to diversity in clients. This paper will address the inclusion of religion and spirituality in client’s session and counselor’s attitudes toward a client’s faith based on the assumption that the client’s faith and the counselor’s attitude can have significant impact on the outcome of the treatment of the client. A counselor’s willingness to attend to faith as a means of growth can build rapport and lessen potential resistance with clients who are religious (Worthington, 1989). Spirituality in Counseling: Integrating Religion and Spirituality Spirituality has become increasingly important in counseling and prayer has become the spiritual intervention of choice for Christian counselors, as well as secular counselors. The controversial nature of including prayer in counseling requires much consideration on the grounds of ethical boundaries. Majority of mental health...

...Frederick Douglass was a slave in America until the age of 20. He wrote three of the most highly regarded autobiographies of the 19th century, while he only began learning to read and write when he turned 12 years old. After an early life of hardship and pain, Douglass escaped to the North to write three autobiographies, which spaced along decades. He wrote about his life as a slave and a freeman. The institution of slavery scarred him so intensely that he decided to devote his powers of speech and prose to fighting it. Douglass wrote three biographies about his life as a politician, slave, and abolitionist. However, the historical value of these works does not remain as important as the quality of the works themselves. Frederick Douglass’ writing deserves recognition in the canon of great American authors, because his work meets the chosen criteria for inclusion in a collection of important literature. Douglass influenced many famous abolitionists with his literary works, and this impact, coupled with his desire to write an expose about oppression in America, makes him a winning candidate. Although his published works, mostly autobiographies, received much acclaim from abolitionists, this paper explores the quality of Douglass’s work from a literary standpoint. To fully appreciate the impact of Douglass’s autobiographies, we must examine violent period in which he lived. Douglass, born in 1818, grew up as a slave on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation in eastern Maryland. At the time...

...ARTICLE IN PRESS Social Science & Medicine 58 (2004) 1647–1657 Understanding breast cancer stories via Frank’s narrative types Roanne Thomas-MacLean* Dalhousie University Family, Medicine Teaching Unit, Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital, P.O. Box 9000, Priestman St. Fredericton, NB Canada E3B 5N5 Abstract While breast cancer narratives have become prevalent in Western culture, few researchers have explored the structure of such narratives, relying instead on some form of thematic analysis based upon content. Although such analyses are valuable, Arthur Frank (The Wounded Storyteller, The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1995) provides researchers with an additional means of studying stories of illness, through the examination of their structures. In this article, the author applies Frank’s work to a phenomenological study of embodiment after breast cancer. Frank’s three narrative types are used to enhance understanding of the ways in which stories are culturally constructed, using data collected through one focus group discussion and two in-depth interviews with each of 12 women who had experienced breast cancer. The author then conveys the significance of this form of analysis for future research. r 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Breast cancer; Qualitative and narrative Introduction Frank (1995) writes that those who are ill ‘‘need to become storytellers in order to recover the voices that illness and its treatment often take away’’...

...a minute about some of the differences you may have seen. Perhaps people dressed differently or ate different types of foods. How did people get around? By car, by train, by motor bike? Was there a particular religion that influenced how society worked? What language was spoken? Did you notice any forms of unspoken language? Your answers to these questions will give you some insight to the country’s culture. We’ll be exploring cultural differences and their effect on business in this chapter. Even if you haven’t traveled to a foreign country, you can still see cultural differences within the U.S. Think about the concept of time for example. How do people on the East Coast view time? You might have answered that East Coasters often see time as a valuable commodity that shouldn’t be wasted. Now, compare that perspective to how someone from the South might view time. Many Southerners still prefer a slower paced way of life. How might these differences affect the way you would do business in each region? Just like you might adapt for differences at home, when doing business in foreign countries, you’ll need to adapt as well. We say that companies must have cross-cultural literacy, or an understanding of how cultural differences across and within nations can affect the way in which business is practiced. It’s also important to consider how culture might affect the cost of doing business in a particular location. For example, some people argue that the Japanese traditions...

...GUIDELINES FOR CASE ANALYSIS The following guidelines are designed to assist in the case analysis process. The Guidelines are not intended to be a rigid format, however. Each question is intended to surface information that will be helpful in analyzing and resolving the case. Each case is different, and some parts of these guidelines may not apply in every case. Following each case are discussion questions that should be answered as part of any complete case analysis. The heart of any case analysis is the recommendations made based upon a solid logical foundation. The questions dealing with Problem and Issue Identification and Analysis and Evaluation should be used to define and then defend recommendations made in the final Recommendations step. Guidelines for Analyzing Cases Problem and Issue Identification 1. What are the central facts of the case? What assumptions are you making about these facts? 2. What is the major overriding issue in the case? What major question or issues does this case address that merits study at this point in the course? 3. What sub-issues or related issues are present in the case that merit consideration now? Analysis and Evaluation 1. Who are the stakeholders in the case and what are their stakes? What challenges, threats or opportunities are posed by these stakeholders? 2. What economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities does the company have, and what is the...

...phenomenology, and empirical work on stereotype threat. Integrating these three areas provides a psychological, existential, physiological, and embodied understanding of the fundamental harm of racial oppression. My aim is to show that the harm of existing as racially oppressed is not just psychological or physiological. That is, racial oppression is not only harmful with regards to the immediate and lasting effects of the compiled stresses that result from continually being made aware of one’s bodily existence as “other” in a predominantly and normatively white world. In addition, racially oppressed people also often lose a sense of themselves, become alienated from themselves, and come to understand themselves vis-à-vis the oppressor. Combining contextualized analyses of the psychological, existential, physiological, and embodied dimensions of oppression, I argue that existing as racially oppressed in a white supremacist society also changes the ontological structure of one’s being-in-the-world. Keywords: phenomenology; oppression; stereotype threat; Martin Heidegger “Only when we come to be very clear about how race is lived, in its multiple manifestations, only when we can come to appreciate its often hidden epistemic effects and its power over collective imaginations and public space, can we entertain even the remote possibility of its eventual transformation” (Alcoff, 2001: 267). This paper attempts to further understand the lived experiences of racial oppression...

...PROFICIENCIES ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS / LITERACY UNIT GRADE 7 “Doping can be that last 2 percent.” OD LL DUCATION www.odelleducation.com OD LL DUCATION Page 1 EVIDENCE-BASED ARGUMENTATION Literacy – the integrated abilities to read texts closely, to investigate ideas and deepen understanding through research, to make and evaluate evidence-based claims, and to communicate one’s perspective in a reasoned way – is fundamental to participation in civic life. Thus, the importance of a literate citizenry was understood and expressed by Thomas Jefferson early in the life of our democratic nation. Today, students face the prospect of participating in a civic life that stretches beyond the boundaries of a single nation and has become increasingly contentious, characterized by entrenched polarization in response to complex issues. Citizens have access to a glut of information (some of which is nothing more than opinion passed off as fact) and are often bombarded by bombast rather than engaged in reasoned and civil debate. Learning the skills and habits of mind associated with argumentation – how to conceive and communicate “arguments to support claims, using valid reasoning and sufficient evidence” [CCSS W1] as well as how to “delineate and evaluate the argument[s]” and “the validity of the reasoning and relevance and sufficiency of the evidence” presented by others [CCSS R8] – is therefore central to students’ civic and academic lives. In order to participate...
