...Trevor Belnap Eng 272 Desi Poteet 12/09/2011 From Memoir to Movie, An Artist’s Vision of Hope “I don’t like the word no. And you know, if you declare something so, it can be. And so, I don’t see there’s any reason to accept things the way they are,” declared Julian Schnabel, acclaimed painter and director. Schnabel is the director of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, a film based on the memoir written by Jean-Dominique Bauby. Bauby’s memoir is his story of finding meaning and joy in a seemingly hopeless reality. Bauby suffered a massive paralyzing stroke at the age of 43. He awakes from his coma weeks later to find he is paralyzed. The only parts of his body that he can control are his eyes. To prevent his right eye from becoming septic, the doctors sew it up, making the blinking of his left eye Bauby’s only method of communication. The death of Schnabel’s father, the location of the filming, and creative departure from the actual text are elements that helped shape the movie. Schnabel uses his experience as an artist and human being to make choices that take the story from pages of Jean-Dominique’s memoir to movie screen. In 2003, Schnabel’s father, Jack, became terminally ill with cancer and came to live with Schnabel and his family. Jack had never been sick in his life and was horrified of death. During the time his father was with him, Schnabel was sent the script for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. “I wanted to help my father not to be scared of...

...The theme of Julian Schnabel’s film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is established in the distorted and confused images that saturate the opening scenes. The entire film is viewed through the eyes of Jean-Dominique Bauby, or more appropriately, his eye. The story follows the journey of Jean-Do, outlining his rise and fall, as well as the emotions that paralleled these events. The protagonist Bauby suffers a massive stroke; however, it is the aftereffects marked by “locked-in syndrome,” which consists of what is considered a healthy mind trapped in a body, which makes the journey worth documenting. Furthermore, this story is told from the perspective of his single communicative eye resulting from the disorder. This film is the incredible narrative of the triumphs and disappointments of a man stuck inside himself, and his ability to make his mind an imaginary haven in which to can seek shelter. Though appalled by his condition, Bauby came to realize that he had been left with an incredible gift, illustrated by his means to escape the “diving bell” of his stricken body. This journey exposes Bauby to the ability to allow the “butterfly” of his memory and imagination to take flight. This film, directed by Julian Schnabel, though originally intended to be an English movie, was, in the last moments, resolved to be produced completely in French for the purpose of realism. Furthermore, as a directorial craft perspective, Schnabel exhibits an exceptionally canny control over the usage...

...Technology has always flourished for the gain of mankind. The major achievements of technology have left man spell-bound and every part of the world today is enjoying the comforts provided by technology. Thanks to technology, all the countries are interlinked and we are now living in a global village. Modern technology has greatly improved people's lives through different fields such as medicine, work, education, industry as well as warfare. However, we cannot say that technology is all good in itself. It is a two-edged sword and we have to see to what extent it has really helped improved people's standard of living. Technology based on life science has been of a great help in the field of medicine. This technology has led to many useful applications such as X-rays and shots among others. X-rays help in showing cavities and shots may prevent mumps and measles. With modern technology, it is possible to keep looking for new drugs and even organ transplant has been facilitated through technology. Pasteurization, vaccination and many more life-saving discoveries are all thanks to modern technology. With modern technology, we are living in an era of industrialization and modernization. This has shown man the labor-saving machines which can work better and more efficiently than man. Machines are now doing the job of man and the labor force has been considerably reduced since a machine can do the job of several people at a time. This has given man more leisure time and has freed him...

...environment causes behavior, true; but behavior causes environment as well. He labeled this concept reciprocal determinism: The world and a person’s behavior cause each other. Adding imagery and language to the mix allows Bandura to theorize much more effectively than someone like, say, B. F. Skinner, about two things that many people would consider the “strong suit” of the human species: observational learning (modeling) and self-regulation. Eysenck’s theory is based primarily on physiology and genetics. Although he is a behaviorist who considers learned habits of great importance, he considers personality differences as growing out of our genetic inheritance. He is, therefore, primarily The social learning theory of Julian Rotter represents an integration of learning and personality. Theories (Phares,1976). According to Rotter, individuals consider the likely consequences of their Actions in a given situation and act based on their beliefs. The theory comprises four major variables: a. Behavior potential refers to the probability that an individual will act in a certain fashion relative to alternative behaviors. b. Expectancy is the individual's belief concerning the likelihood that a particular reinforcement will occur as a consequence of a specific behavior. c. Reinforcement value refers to how much the individual values a particular outcome relative to other potential outcomes. d. The psychological situation implies that the context of behavior...

...JOB SATISFACTION INTRODUCTION According to Yang (2012) job satisfaction is deemed an attitude rather than a behaviour. It is the most and frequently studied and widely discussed work attitude Mc Clenney (1992). Robbins (2001) defined it as a general attitude toward one’s job; the difference between the level of reward workers receive and the level of reward they believe they should receive. Moreover, Locke (1976) defined job satisfaction as an enjoyable or positive emotional state as a result of evaluating one’s job and job experience. In empirical studies, researchers have often measured job satisfaction as having two distinct facets: intrinsic, that is, level of satisfaction with features associated with the job itself and extrinsic, that is, level of satisfaction with various facets associated with the environment in which the work is performed (Bogler, 2001) Job satisfaction is said to be a vital factor of productivity at work along with having the appropriate training, interests and motivation. Frustrations at work may derive from different aspects of the job itself or the work environment Tomina & Sorana (2011). Satisfied employees are more likely to stay with their organisation and contribute to the success of the company rather than unsatisfied employees. “Employee attitudes and intentions have impacts on employee effectiveness, customer satisfaction and organisational performance” Tomina & Sorana (2011).

...…………………….My Course: My Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control……….……….. Name: Me Concept Paper No: 1 Course/Yr: BS Psychology 2 Date: 2 – 8 – 15 In the recent years of being a psychology major, I have learned many things including, but not limited to, the foundations and an overview of psychology, the various people that have contributed to this ever growing field of science, and of course, the schools of thought. One of these schools of thought is behaviorism, and among the many in this area are the two men, Albert Bandura, and Julian Rotter, who introduced the concepts of self-efficacy and the locus of control respectively. Self-efficacy refers to the person’s belief in herself, her capacity to do and accomplish things- her esteem, while the locus of control refers to what the person attributes something to, her failures, for example- was it because she herself did not try hard enough, or was it because something or someone else ruined it for her? Dwelling on these two concepts now, I believe they can both be summarized into a quote from a prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr, which goes… “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” As a psychology major… a student, and I think it applies to everyone else as well, it all boils down to the simple line that I mentioned. Our choices, our decisions… it all depends upon what we choose to do. The self-efficacy and the locus of control...

...UN METODO PARA NEGOCIAR. La negociación consiste en el acercamiento de dos partes opuestas hasta alcanzar una posición aceptable para ambas. El espacio continuo de la negociación. La idea de acercamiento entre dos partes, implica la de existencia de una distancia entre ellas, y estos términos corresponden al lenguaje habitual de la negociación. Negociar significa moverse. Nos movemos de nuestra posición más favorable (P.M.F.) hasta llegar a un punto aceptable para ambas partes. Nuestro opositor hace exactamente lo mismo. La capacidad y habilidad de los negociadores de cada una de las partes son las que deciden la localización de este punto de acuerdo y la distancia que tenemos que recorrer para llegar a él. Las dos figuras A y B representan dos partes de una negociación. Cada una de ellas si pudiera elegir libremente, elegiría la posición más favorable para sus intereses. Estas posiciones están representadas por los extremos del diagrama. Es muy poco probable que una parte logre convencer a la otra para que acepte su P.M.F. Por ello cada parte deberá desplazarse hacia la posición de su opositor. Este desplazamiento tiene un límite, llamado a veces punto de ruptura, que de superarse haría que las partes prefirieran romper la negociación a acepta un acuerdo. El intervalo de acuerdo que se ofrece al negociador está situado entre el punto más favorable y el límite. En la mayor parte de negociaciones estos dos segmentos se solapan. En el intervalo en el que...

...World Wildlife Fund The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an organization that focuses on protecting wildlife and natural habitats. With a focus on the conservation of nature, the WWF reaches many countries and targets the protection of endangered and poached wildlife species. Their tactics are simple, yet very effective towards provoking human emotion to solidify with the cause. The catalyst for its foundation was a series of articles in the Observer by Sir Julian Huxley - a biologist and grandson of Thomas Huxley, the Victorian champion of evolution nicknamed "Darwin's bulldog" - warning of the spoliation of wildlife habitats in Africa. He was joined by a small group of conservationists including Godfrey Rockefeller, of the US oil dynasty, and Peter Scott, son of Scott of the Antarctic, and the World Wildlife Fund quickly gathered an aristocratic backing. Its first president was the Dutch prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld (About Us, 2013). Founded in 1961, the World Wildlife Fund has established national organizations in more than 24 countries across five continents (Huxley, 2005, p.188). It is positioned to act quickly when conservation emergencies arise, such as the need to save a highly endangered species or habitat, or to acquire valuable land for a park or protected area. The three goals the WWF focuses on are: protecting endangered spaces, saving endangered species, and addressing global threats. The WWF has been a conservation leader for over 40 years, helping save...

It also explored the gender differences in terms of academic locus of control and the relationship between academic locus of control and academic achievement . Sample of the study consisted of 187 (126 high and 61 low) achieving BSc final year students. Independent group research design and purposive sampling technique was used in this study. Academic locus of control scale developed by Trice (1985) was administered. The scale classifies the students having scores from 0-14 as internals and with the score above than 14 as externals. Two –Factor ANOVA, correlation and simple linear regression was used to analyze the data. Results indicated a significant main effect of achiever and gender and no interaction between gender and achiever was found. High achieving students scored low on academic locus of control which indicates their strong internal academic orientation than low achieving students. Interestingly study indicated that high as well as low achieving students both hold an internal academic belief system towards the academic situations. Women are significantly high on an internal academic locus of control indicating less internal...

...“The Stowaway” is a revolutionary story that presents a unique outlook on the age-old tale of Noah’s Ark. Told from the viewpoint of a bold, outspoken woodworm that sneaks onto the ship, the story defies the traditional telling of the classic flood story. Rather, the woodworm relates unheard of insight on the arduous trip within the ark, the humorous animals he experienced the journey with, and the untrue details that characterize the biblical story. However, the most remarkable information the woodworm includes in the story involves the character of Noah himself. In “The Stowaway,” Julian Barnes uses the voice of the woodworm to depict the character of Noah as a depraved individual. The woodworm brings to our attention Noah’s blind arrogance very early in the story. Noah made decisions and would not change his position even when it was brought to his attention that there were other points of view that might be better than his. As the text of the story itself says, “Animals of a speculative bent began to propound rival selection principals, based on beast size or utility rather than mere number; but Noah loftily refused to negotiate. He was a man who had his little theories, and he didn’t want anyone else’s”. (Barnes 8) This demonstrates the woodworm’s dislike for Noah’s lack of consideration of other’s feelings. Noah made up his mind about how he was going to select the animals for the ark. He would not consider alternative selection criteria. He refused to listen to the pleas...

...THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND As the environment around you changes, you can either attribute success and failure to things you have control over, or to forces outside your influence. Which orientation you choose has a bearing on your long-term success. This orientation is known as your "locus of control". Locus of control is concerned with “the question of whether or not an individual believes that his own behavior, skills or internal disposition determine what reinforcements he receives” (Rotter, Change, & Phares, 1972), and refers to a person’s beliefs about control over life events. Those with an internal locus of control believe that the consequences of their behavior are under their personal control and that they are effective in controlling their destiny and determining the occurrence of reinforcement, and feel personally responsible for the things that happen to them; those with an external locus of control believe that the outcomes of their performances in life are determined by forces beyond their control (e. g., fate, chance, luck, powerful others and supernatural forces) and that they determine the occurrence of specified events. As Rotter (1966) pointed out, the effect of reinforcement “depends on whether or not the person perceives a causal relationship between his own behavior and the reward” (p. 1) As cited by Samaei (Samaei, Ramezani, & Semnani, 2012) in his study, to some researchers such as Rotter (1986), Heinrich & Gullone (2006) and Ekwall...

...Definition of Locus control would consist of two components, which are internal locus of control, which an individual believes that they are responsible for what happens in their life, and external Locus of Control, which an individual believes that luck, people, or a higher intelligence is the reason why things happen in their life. (Bauer & Erdogan, 2009) Julian Rotten psychologist originated the concept of Locus or Control of Reinforcement to examine and study the characteristic traits with the cognitive and personality of individuals. (wilderdom.com) However, my tested results were high which prevailed that I fall under the category of internal Locus of Control. I believe that the results were somewhat on point, with the exception that I have strong beliefs of a Divine Power. For example, without Divine intervention, who can explain how was the sky, cloud, oceans and the earth was created? That is a question no could answer definitively. Many of us have heard of a scientist come up with different theories, but nothing concrete on how the universe or human life evolved. Furthermore, my results did validate my beliefs of being in control of...

...canciller de Ecuador, Ricardo Patiño, visitó por primera vez este domingo al fundador de WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, quien el miércoles cumplirá un año refugiado en la embajada del país andino en Londres, antes de tratar de buscar una salida al caso con su homólogo británico, William Hague. Antes de iniciar su reunión, Patiño y Assange se asomaron brevemente a una ventana de la legación a saludar al centenar de personas que se habían congregado en la calle para expresar su apoyo al australiano, y posaron para los fotógrafos conversando amigablemente mientras la multitud coreaba en español "Julian, amigo, el pueblo está contigo". El canciller, el más alto representante del gobierno ecuatoriano que visita a Assange en la legación, había llegado a las 18:30 locales (13:30 de Ecuador) acompañado de la embajadora, Ana Albán, sin hacer declaraciones a los medios de comunicación. La llegada de Patiño a Londres despertó esperanzas de una resolución del caso entre los partidarios del creador de WikiLeaks, entre ellos una mayoría de ecuatorianos y otros ciudadanos latinoamericanos. "En este país, siendo pionero de los derechos humanos, nunca se ha dado semejante injusticia", declaró Edwin Pazmiño, miembro del Movimiento Ecuador en el Reino Unido. "Esperemos que mañana en la reunión con el ministro británico salga algo positivo y el gobierno acepte otorgar el salvoconducto a Julian Assange para que viaje a Ecuador", agregó este hombre de 43 años, vestido con una camiseta de fútbol...
