...Cook, H., Ph.D. "Effects of Subliminal Symbiotic Gratification and the Magic of Believing on Achievement." Psychoanalytic Psychology. Graduate students were divided into several groups and exposed to either to a subliminal message, or to a control message immediately after their statistics or measurement class. The subjects received 12 sessions of 10 exposures per session, of 4-msec visual subliminal messages. The final examinations for each course noted that students who had received the subliminal message performed better than students receiving the control message. Researchers concluded that stimulating students subliminally to feel better about themselves may enable them to learn more effectively. SUBLIMINAL ENHANCEMENT BOOSTS LEARNING Graduate students who received subliminal enhancement messages after their statistics or measurement classes did better on their final exams than students who received neutral messages, proving that subliminal messages that helped students feel good about themselves actually increased learning.

...about them makes them diverse could anyone get it right? Lets test it for ourselves shall we? Lets say we have two friends Damon and Janice, fair warning these people will be important later on. Damon, is a strong and healthy young African American male, and Janice, is a disabled young white women. Some might argue that Janice is not diverse, because she is white and how can anyone who is white be diverse? The answer to that question is very simple, diversity is not limited to race. Let me explain my thoughts on that further. As defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, diverse means different from each other. So why do we limit diversity? You cannot tell me that most people do not limit it. Whenever the issue of diversity comes up most only think of race as what makes us diverse, but not anything else that can make someone diverse. Society should be better informed on what diversity really means in order to stop making it solely a race issue, and children should be taught in grade schools what it means...

...In 'Patriotism' Mishima developed the theme of loss through the use of the intense sexual imagery in contrast. In Mishima’s word pictures, both lieutenant and Reiko’s bodies were glowing with the glitter of life. However, in the contrary, what they had possessed led to the opposite side: death. Mishima intended to present the extremely beautiful flame of human’s life at the mercy of the dust of death. Yet how gorgeous fireworks are, they shine briefly. Obviously, Mishima understood it and used it as a sigh for the loss of human’s power, the burning fire of life. Enveloped by the shadow of death at their last touch, lieutenant and Reiko showed their desire for each other and their delight of passion, but undeniably, they were forced to...

...Only few westerners have thus far made an analysis upon the cultural significance of female genital cutting. In her book “Civilizing Women: British Crusades in Colonial Sudan” Janice Boddy (2007) manages to explore the values of traditions for Sudanese people in the historical context of colonial influence. Despite the fact that British imperialism has put its prominent contribution into the formation of modern Sudanese ideologies, it was not powerful enough in order to modify the existed culture. Likewise, Boddy provides a clear argument by referring to parallels between critics of FGM and the British imperialists through a racial implication and tragedy of the colonized. She truly explains why the practice of circumcision is considered a spiritual celebration by the culture representatives, stating that “each sex is…ritually completed, made whole and pure…Yet the circumcised female body is more; it is a metonym and...

...Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth By: HassanK. It is said that whatever one has done in the past affects and alters the present. This is a prominent theme in the book Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth and is systematically shown. For instance, Janice seeks forgiveness for the ill feelings she has created and, tired of being angry at the past, she ends the play on a note of hopeful reconciliation. Readers get a clear understanding of the theme, and how it contributes to the meaning of the play. In this play, we observe that the past influences what happens in the present by affecting one’s life, the lives of others, and by creating conflicts between people. Whatever happens in the past affects you as an individual, and this is clearly shown with Janice/Grace. Janice is an educated young lady, with a great career ahead of her as a lawyer. She lives in a high-rise condo in downtown Toronto, and leads a financially stable and healthy life. However when Janice went back to visit Otter Lake on Christmas, everything changed. She completely broke down in emotion and couldn’t handle all the overwhelming information that she received “.. That’s why I left last time. It was too much too soon. I was crumbled. Thirty five years stuffed into an hour” (Pg. 78). As a result of this, Janice’s out-going personality completely vaporized. She became depressed, sad, and had conflicting feelings about her true identity. These feelings led her to not being able to work...

...WHEN LOVE BREAKS FREE It was Monday morning; the sun is shining high above the heavens, with perfect blue paint with white puffy cottons. There I was sitting in the park looking above the sky and my thoughts came off wondering things which I couldn’t answer it. “This place never changed, this bench, this table” I said to myself, “could this be another dream which I always wanted to happened when I was a teenager?” those thought were playing at my mind every time I come over this park. My children are playing out there, with joy and a smile on their faces. Then one of them came to me while shouting “dad!” “yes mark, my son, what is it?” I replied. “Hey dad, how did you and mom end up being with each other? Became our parents?, because sister said to me you and mom really did not have each other” “son your sister is 18 and you are just 12 and this might end up not good for you because, well, me and your mother kept it a secret for you” “but dad?!”, he replied with a shock. “Ok, son ok, but promise me you won’t tell this to your mother ok?” “Yeah!! Sure pops” “I’m not that old, son.” There he sits in front of me while his face is covered with excitement. “Son way back when I was young, even though I’m still young up until now” “DAD!” “hahaha “ok, ok, I was a type of guy who is silent, an introverted person, whole barely speaks in class, in front of a person, or even to my “pretending friends”.

...New studies of the brain show that leaders can improve group performance by understanding the biology of empathy. by Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis and the Biology of Social Intelligence Leadership IN 1998, ONE OF US, DANIEL GOLEMAN, published in these pages his first article on emotional intelligence and leadership. The response to “What Makes a Leader?” was enthusiastic. People throughout and beyond the business community started talking about the vital role that empathy and self-knowledge play in effective leadership. The concept of emotional intelligence continues to occupy a prominent space in the leadership literature and in everyday coaching practices.
