...1. My reflection of Solitude is the state of being alone without being lone, solitude is a positive constructive state of engagement with oneself and is desirable state of being alone where I provide myself wonderful and sufficient company. Solitude is a time that can be used for reflection where one develops inner searching or growth or enjoyment of some kind. Deep reading requires solitude, so does experiencing the beauty of nature, thinking and creativity usually do too. Personally, solitude provides peacefulness stemming from a state of inner riches, it is a meaning of enjoying the quite and whatever it brings that is satisfying and from which we know sustenance, solitude is something I cultivate because it is so refreshing and an opportunity...

...created a demand for a new visionary technology which is fast, convenient and more important up to date. As the movement away from printed media increase and the explosion of PDA devices into the market, there is potential for a new company to link the media world with wireless technology. A new innovative software allowing users to subscribe to the most up to the minute information in an easy user friendly fashion and directly on a piece of hardware that is essential in everyone’s lives, is exactly the answer. I write to you today, The New AT&T, the leading cell phone provider with the most international capabilities to ask that you consider funding our SIT software (stay in touch), which in turn will be implemented on your PDA hardware devices. Our SIT software compatible with your PDA device will enable users to view the most instant and accurate information of newspapers, magazines, bloggs and specialty media sources from all around the world. To this end, I will argue that in the future this technology will offer a powerful tool for individuals that want multiple sources of information from around the world that is easily presented on the hardware device they already own. Being well aware that there are other concepts similar to ours that already exist, we will support our vision by applying concepts from IS research to the constantly evolving world of technology. In particular, we will relate our vision to the concepts of the socio-technical model in two separate models...

Row hard enough that your arms fill with cramps and your hair turns white with stress, row until your back pains with your incessant, consistent, ritualistically morbid and mentally dangerous norms. But, row long enough and you will become tired of this ridiculous method of transportation and long for something better, a propellor perhaps to do the rowing for you? And as you sit peacefully behind the wheel of your new vessel, somewhere inside of your newly relaxed mind, ideas emerge, that incredible longing for the different. You may awaken from a restful night of sleep, peer out the window and glimpse this “reality” this life that we have found ourselves with which was built from the backs and necks of our parent’s parents’ parents…etc. and realize many questions that lie just below the surface, these questions of which we are simply unable, until this moment, to ask. Questions like, why exactly is our society does the mighty dollar have the final say? Why are our minds structured by absolutes? (hell no! or hell yes!) Why, even though the idea in itself is morally wrong, do we accept ourselves as part of a Capitalist union? Or even, why we simply “sit back and plug-in” to our next fix when...

...I've watched her. For so long I have seen her struggle and fight. Demons and monsters rip her apart each night, and every morning she puts on that same bright smile and cheers everyone up. I watch as the room becomes slightly brighter when she walks in with a smile as warm as the sun. Her friends don't see past her happy mask she puts on before school. They haven't seen the mental scars the creatures leave each night, and how fast she makes them heal because she knows no one should see. They shouldn’t see what she goes through. They shouldn’t see how much she puts others before herself. She loves them, loves everything. She has the biggest heart. The monsters come along soon after the lights go out though. They tell her how ugly she is, and how no one will actually care for her if they knew what happened to her each night. They tell her she will be alone, and that is what scares her most. She fears solitude, she fears isolation. Right now she is sitting on a bridge, throwing pebbles to see how they ripple so magically in the water. She's making ripples and connecting it with some sort of deeper meaning. Philosophizing about the world around her. She wonders about the trees in the wind; about the ants on the ground; just...

Michael nods. “It’s like…” I pause, searching for the words. “Crip,” Michael adds. “Exactly,” I sigh, nodding. “Almost like..” Michael frowns “red?” “With a hint of yellow,” I say. “Right, yellow, I keep forgetting that one,” Michael spoke softly “A lot of things are yellow,” I turn to Michael, frowning. “Not where I come from,” Michael paused, “Things are mostly blue-black there” I wince, “I can’t even begin to imagine that.” “Don’t,” Michael shakes his head, “Don’t even try.” “Believe me,” I reisure him, “I don’t want to” “Good,” Michael sits straight up, craning his neck to me, “My mom coming?” I ask, Michael nods, standing up. “Keep it short, okay?” He glances over at me, moving to hide deeper into the treehouse....

...least not on my part. It just happens. I don’t want to believe… but they’ve forced themselves on me. (Thoughtful) Perhaps the old Indian woman did it to me. I lived in her house too long as a child. (Looks at ceiling) At night, footsteps paced the ceiling. Over and over, an impatient march, forever in step to the silent drum. If only this had been my only encounter, I could dismiss it. “The house is settling,” my mother said… but this wasn’t all the house did. (Lights slightly flicker) Lights dimmed and glowed. Her ghostly will stronger than the new world magic conjured by GE. Sometimes she preferred a blackout. She didn’t care for my brother’s taste in music. Blackout! (Blackout) My brother was scared turdless. (Lights come up dimly again. She smiles at the memory of her brother. She is thoughtful a moment and her expression darkens) These spirits are on me like dogs on turds. Always sniffing around. Marking me. (Goes to sofa. Sits and slowly makes her way under the quilt and lays her head sleepily against the back of the sofa during the following) I slept in my room. Well, not really slept. Sleep was never something I did much of, especially early on. My worries at seven far outweighed my need for sleep. Awake. Forever awake. My father had left me. My mother… (Sits up. Then gets up and crosses to coffin) I was always worried mother would leave me too. (She touches the coffin lovingly. Then stops looking very tired) I wish the ghosts would go. But they linger...

... Smoking is Fun What is the nature of this psychological pleasure? It can be traced to the universal desire for self-expression. None of us ever completely outgrows his childhood. We are constantly hunting for the carefree enjoyment we knew as children. As we grew older, we had to subordinate our pleasures to work and to the necessity for unceasing effort. Smoking, for many of us, then, became a substitute for our early habit of following the whims of the moment; it becomes a legitimate excuse for interrupting work and snatching a moment of pleasure. "You sometimes get tired of working intensely," said an accountant whom we interviewed, "and if you sit back for the length of a cigarette, you feel much fresher afterwards. It's a peculiar thing, but I wouldn't think of just sitting back without a cigarette. I guess a cigarette somehow gives me a good excuse." Smoking is a Reward Most of us are hungry for rewards. We want to be patted on the back. A cigarette is a reward that we can give ourselves as often as we wish. When we have done anything well, for instance, we can congratulate ourselves with a cigarette, which certifies, in effect, that we have been "good boys." We can promise ourselves:...

...this essay I will be discussing a teaching activity that I carried out in clinical placement which was breathing exercises and relaxation techniques for a client who suffers from anxiety. I chose this activity because in my clinical placement many clients in the services suffer from anxiety. I researched on methods which could be used for clients who suffer from anxiety such as:- breathing exercises, yoga, anxiety management, massages, taking up exercises, CBT(Cognitive behavioural therapy), having a healthy life style and talking about feelings and thoughts which all help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety. I chose a 66 year old lady who suffers from anxiety and will be naming her Catherine to maintain confidentiality. The code: Standards of conduct, performance and ethics for nurses and midwives’ (2008) states: "You must respect people's right to confidentiality”. I will be using a Gibbs (1988) reflective model as his model incorporates: - “description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan” (Gibbs, 1988). Catherine suffers from anxiety and would feel anxious in the morning and if she would have to go out to the shops or for a day out to the park. Catherine feels she can’t go out due to changes in her life because she lives alone and her husband passed away a year ago; they use to go out together, everywhere. Catherine does not feel anxious when she is accompanied by a friend or a team member from services, but tends to feel anxious when she is alone. Catherine...

...USA, or harmed in other countries. We are expected to sit quietly and listen in church, but get on our feet, get vocally loud and rowdy at sporting events. Some families eat super at the table, while talking and catching up on everyone’s day. Other families sit quietly during a meal. Any set of laws, or even house rules are the norm for that specific place. My company has two break/lunch room shared by all three shifts, which is about 400 people total. There are many norms in these rooms. The smaller breakroom is where the smokers go. Their norm is everyone talking, and laughing. They are a loud rowdy bunch. If you go in there, you will stick out like a sore thumb. The larger room-smokers sit tends to be real quiet, there isn’t a lot of socialization in the larger room. I quit smoking many years ago, but still go into the smaller breakroom at times, strictly for the social aspect. For my experiment I sat down at a table alone, in the larger quiet breakroom, early in the morning. I picked a time when it was as quiet as a graveyard to do my experiment. If any other conversations were going on it was in quiet hushed tones, which was the norm. I pulled out my cell phone and made a phone call. I spoke in a louder voice, laughing and carrying on for about 15-20 minutes. I made it very obvious it was a social call. I kept up this behavior for a few days, at the same time every day. I received stares while they whispered about me. I would receive dirty looks throughout the day. It was...

...As Gregor Samsa´s alarm went off, he awoke from his few hour night sleep. Gregor feels that waking up early every single day makes someone stupid. It did not seem real that his alarm clock already said four in the morning. Staying at home is what he wanted to do. His family could stay at home all day because they did not work. ¨I wish that was me,¨ he thought. As one of the company's best traveling salesmen, he did not miss work. ¨Maybe I could call in sick today,¨ Gregor thought. Sick of the traveling he always had to do, he just is ready for a break. Gregor did not even like his boss because he does not take any excuses for missing work and how overbearing. That thought about calling in sick only lasted a couple seconds because...
