...considered a right. This argument’s corollary is that, given that we cannot touch without being touched, appropriate touch normally is and should be a source of pleasure to both giver and receiver. The proposed paper will respond to these theses with a caution: contemporary literature on child sexual abuse points out that abusers of children also, and especially, profess to embrace these beliefs. Neither a simple boundary distinction (do not touch particular persons in particular places) nor a test for intent (do not intend to harm or violate) adequately responds to the challenge posed by this fact. Thus it will argue that an adequate Christian ethic of touch depends on the possibility of developing powerful psychological and theological distinctions between nurturing and violating touch. The psychological prong of this argument will draw upon extensive contemporary research on child sexual abuse to argue that abusers either pursue an imagined egalitarian mutual love with their victims or use abuse to gain a sense of empowerment over them. In theological terms the root problems are a mis-labeling of the object of love (the good the lover desires); of the object’s true needs (the gift the lover offers); and of the union with the beloved (the character of mutual delight). The paper will argue that, theologically, “good touch” is a matter of rightly-ordered love and that a critical, feminist retrieval of love theology yields categories and distinctions that begin to illumine the so-far...

We present the first prospective longitudinal study of adolescent cannabis use as a risk factor for adult schizophreniform disorder, taking into account childhood psychotic symptoms3 antedating cannabis use.

...order to overcome their difficulties, writing or talking about your problems can serve as a way of healing the body and mind this can help move one from inhibition to confession. After reading various versions of writing on journal writing, they have shown how confession helps people whom inhibit their problems. Throughout some of our readings, Confession and Inhibition, Narration and Argument, Healing through the Written Word, and Writing as a Way of Healing, have demonstrated how people transition from inhibition to confession by the use of writing. Confession and Inhibition by James W. Pennebaker, a social psychologist. He is the Centennial Liberal Arts Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Pennebaker’s main research focuses on the relationship between natural language use, health, and social behavior, most recently how everyday language reflects basic social and personality processes. Pennebaker starts us off by asking questions “Why do people throughout the world seek to tell their stories? Is there some kind of urge to confess? Is it healthy for us to divulge our deepest thoughts and feelings? Or, conversely, is I unhealthy not to disclose the private sides of our lives? (pg.1).” All these questions cross through everyone’s minds while they are all in the process of inhibition and want a way out to better their lives. Inhibiting thoughts and feelings can be...

...defined as a determination of male or female on the basis of a set of socially agreed-upon biological criteria. Music Videos such as Stupid Girls and If I Were A Boy by singers Pink and Beyonce respectively demonstrate clearly the assumptions or categorizations we evoke simply by using the terms girl or boy. Although the topic of gender in sociology is vast, this paper focuses on how gender is reproduced and how the gendered body is displayed in society. There are three ways in which gender is reproduced in society. It is reproduced through the family, education and the media. From birth begins gendered expectations. According to the social norm, the color pink is mainly associated as a feminine color and the color blue masculine. Family and friends who go to see the birth of a baby girl fill the hospital room with pink balloons, teddy bears with pink ribbons and if a boy was born the room would be filled with presents which are blue in color. Growing up, girls receive presents such dollhouses and kitchen sets which reinforce their femininity. Parents raise their boys and girls differently. Even though research shows that boys at an early age (around 2 years) are just as interested in playing with the same toys girls play with, parents negatively reinforce the more feminine toys. Even the household tasks that boys and girls are given are gendered. Boys generally take out the garbage and girls do the dishes, set the table. Gender is also reproduced by education. Schools...

...The Effect of Reward to Employee’s Motivation towards Work Productivity Johnpaula Louise A. Sanchez COMARTS 2 Professor Chona Lajom October 4, 2012 A Review of the Literature Employee’s motivation is one of the most essential parts in a company’s development and success. In order to maximize the overall performance of the employee, the employer must know what is the most motivating for the employees and how to increase their job satisfaction. However, it may be challenging for the company to find out what motivates its employees especially because different people are motivated by different things. Motivation is the desire to achieve beyond expectations, being driven by internal rather than external factors, and to be involved in a continuous striving for improvement. In the context of work, motivation is a psychological process that results from the relationship between an employee and the work environment and it is characterized by a certain level of willingness. The employees are willing to increase their work effort in order to be rewarded and get a specific need or desire that they hold. According to Arnold (1991), motivation consists of three components. First is direction that tackles about what a person is trying to do. Second is effort, meaning, how hard a person is trying. And lastly, persistence, this means how long a person keeps on trying to get what he really wanted. Motivation theory tries to explain, why people at work, behave...

But such basic causes are quite intractable and not easily eradicated. In most cases, the causes and effects of poverty interact, so that what makes people poor also creates conditions that keep them poor. | Saying goes, “Give a man fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” - this should be the guiding principle of our political leadership on how to solve the problem on poverty but People itself should also help themselves. | Ending poverty is a daunting challenge. However, since it was made by human rules and institutions, new ones can unmake it. People itself should applied what they have learned in school so that they will be able to have a good and more opportunities.

Thus, it is divided into two types: formal learning institutions such as schools and self-learning better known as experience. Moreover, education is essential to every student by bringing them in the future prepared. But as we all know, education is not limited only in institutions and poverty rises which greatly affect the financial stability of every family hindering their children to attain knowledge formally. Today, many choose to work while studying, juggling school responsibility and self-responsibility, they are called, “working students.” Studying, alone, is already a hard task and working is another thing. Putting these two in the context have effects to each other either positive or negative. Weng (2012) elaborated that schooling and work are extremely different but both can bring a successful path. Though, working students strive hard to finance their studies, they also helping their families not only themselves. Those who have parents with...

...to speak scathingly of Edgar Alien Poe, he had complained of the lack of method or order in the romantic outpourings of Wilkie Collins, had lauded to the skies two American authors who were practically unknown, and had in various other ways given honour where honour was due and sternly withheld it where he considered it was not. He had seen the volume through the press, had looked upon the results and, apart from a really incredible number of printer's errors, pronounced that it was good. He had enjoyed this literary achievement and enjoyed the vast amount of reading he had had to do, had enjoyed snorting with disgust as he flung a book across the floor (though always remembering to rise, pick it up and dispose of it tidily in the waste-paper basket) and had enjoyed appreciatively nodding his head on the rare occasions when such approval was justified. And now? He had had a pleasant interlude of relaxation, very necessary after his intellectual labour. But one could not relax for ever, one had to go on to the next thing. Unfortunately he had no idea what the next thing might be. Some further literary accomplishment? He thought not. Do a thing well then leave it alone. That was his maxim. The truth of the matter was,...

...Implementing Self-Service Technology Chang-tseh Hsieh Implementing Self-Service Technology To Gain Competitive Advantages Chang-tseh Hsieh University of Southern Mississippi 118 College Drive, #5178, Hattiesburg, MS 39406 Phone: (601) 266-6124, Fax: (601) 266-4642, e-Mail: Hsieh@cba.usm.edu ABSTRACT Choosing, implementing and managing effective self-service technologies are challenging tasks for most firms. While some self-service technologies could be quickly adopted, others are resisted. This paper examines what a firm should consider in order to encourage customers to at least try, and eventually adopt, the SST offered by a firm into the customer's regular routine. Factors that encourage the customer to try a new self-service technology for the first time and factors impact customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction will be addressed. A practical guideline for developing and implementing successful SST will be proposed. Key words: Self-service technology, Competitive advantage, Customer Relationship management.

There can be advantages on both sides of the self-service technology coin. The company has the potential to serve more customers...

...an effective writer in academic life. Similarly, Rose also seems to argue that students should acquire not only summarizing but also analyzing ability so as to be a superior writer in academic setting. The author believes that students should develop the writing skills of analyzing to succeed in academic life. The author seems to believe so because analytical writing is the writing skill which students are required frequently in academic culture. If students are familiar with only summarizing and not with analyzing reading, they will have trouble with their academic life. Pointing out an example of a student named James who summarizes a passage from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, Rose claims that “[students who lacked experience writing paper] approach the task in terms they can handle, retell the material to you, summarize it, demonstrate that, yes, they can understand the stuff” (139). This James’s approach shows that he cannot analyze the book by himself, so he summarizes the book (Rose 139). However, the assignment asked students to analyze the book (Rose 139). In order to analyze the book, Rose asks James questions about the book such as Berger’s purpose of writing the book (140). In this example, Rose suggests that students should know how to write by not only summarizing but also analyzing what they read. When students come to college by only possessing summary skill, they experience problem of writing in university education like James. Therefore, Rose and Greene both...
