...Running head: Analysis of “Still I Rise” 1 Analysis of “Still I Rise” When reading, “Still I Rise”, by Maya Angelou, I immediately get a sense of perseverance and pride. The author seems to be addressing her adversaries directly through her words. I love the imagery used in this poem. I can almost see the dust rising and can feel the swelling of the black ocean that the author mentions. “Cause I walk like I got oil wells pumping in my living room”(Angelou, 1978), and, “Laugh like I’ve got gold mines diggin’ in my own back yard” (Angelou, 1978), tells me that the author feels that her life is joyous and priceless, and can’t be taken away. As the phrase, “I Rise” (Angelou, 1978), is repeated again and again, it’s as if I can hear the author’s voice becoming louder and louder, declaring that her spirit will not be broken. It is the voice of someone who has not only persevered, but has triumphed and now thrives! “Still I Rise” was published in 1978, during the postmodern era. This was a period that saw much political and social change, particularly for African Americans. The 60’s brought about desegregation and the signing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Maya Angelou lived in the South, Arkansas, for a time during her childhood. There was much white resistance to the ending of segregation in the Southern states. During the 60’s and 70’s, many American cities were swept by race riots. Civil Rights activists organized marches and protests around the country...

...Psychological Disorder Analysis Rosemary Scheel Creeden PSY/270 Heather Hensell July 21, 2012 Today I had a session with a woman named Marla, who is a 42-year-old Hispanic female. She came to my mental health clinic complaining of having trouble sleeping, feeling “jumpy all of the time,” and experiencing an inability to concentrate. These symptoms are causing problems for her at work, where she is an accountant. When I first met Marla I did a patient intake and asked her some questions about her life. I did this in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the root of Marla’s difficulties, what she might be suffering from, and how I could better help her. “Since ancient times, people have tried to explain, treat, and study abnormal behavior,” (Comer, 2011). My first question for Marla was why she decided to seek treatment. Marla told me that she had tried to wait and see if things would get better, but she was becoming very sleep deprived, and she was worried that she would get in trouble at work because of her fatigue and lack of concentration. I asked her how she thought therapy would help her or improve her symptoms. She said that she wasn’t quite sure but that maybe I could help her identify what was causing these symptoms so that she could find some relief. This led me to ask her how she described herself now compared to her current self. She told me that her ideal self was energetic, attentive, and not so edge. She aimed to excel at work...

...Retrospective Analysis of Personality Written By: Keisha G. Roberts Tulane University Dr. Bernard Curry PSY 105: Introduction to Psychology December 2, 2015 Abstract “Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. The study of personality focuses on two broad areas: One is understanding individual differences in particular personality characteristics, such as sociability or irritability. The other is understanding how the various parts of a person come together as a whole.” (Encyclopedia of Psychology) In this essay, I will explore the traits in my personality that have changed and the traits that have remained unchanged over the years. I will also explore how nature and nurture have shaped my personality, the inaccuracies and biases that I find and compare my findings to systematic studies that are considered more valuable than individual accounts. Retrospective Analysis of Personality As far back as I can remember, three personality traits stick out to me, being very observant, sarcastic and introverted. I was always very observant, quiet and shy. I didn’t have many friends as a kid due to me being so quiet. Now that I think about it, I never really wanted a lot of friends when I was younger. I was very mature for my age meaning, when other kids would be outside doing what most kids in those days did, I would be in my room curled up with a book or drawing. I watched how my peers would act, and most of...

...difficult concept to grapple with at any age – yet my mother contracted cancer when I was 10, forcing me to confront this much younger than I would have wished. I will never forget my powerlessness in knowing that rather than a cure, we could only trust in an inexact process of destroying swathes of cells in the hope of killing all cancerous ones as well. Thankfully, she recovered, and with this good news I never wanted to feel so powerless again, striving for empowerment through understanding more about her recovery and the mechanisms behind the drugs and treatments that saved her life. As I delved more into it, I realised that cancer 'ran in the family', with former patients including my grandparents, mother, aunts and uncles, as if something was being passed down. My suspicions proved true as I stumbled upon heredity and genetics, amazed by genes, DNA and that people were akin to computers in how they can be coded in just 4 letters: ATCG . Although cancer cannot be caused by one gene or inheritance alone, people with inherited faulty genes have higher chances of developing cancer and I realized it was simply in my family’s ‘code’. This kindled an interest in science, especially in biology and chemistry, that has since developed into a passion of mine , which is why I want to pursue biochemistry formally at university....

...the word “serial killer” comes to mind, usually for me the name Ted Bundy is the one that dominates. Before Bundy was executed in 1989, he confessed to killing more that thirty women in almost a dozen states across the U.S. during his four year long string of murders in the 70s. “The thing that set Ted Bundy away from the serial killer’s stereo typical analysis is that he was such a mainstream All-American man that the Washington State Republican Party hired him, so cunning that he escaped from jail, twice, and so dashing that a woman friend used to send marriage proposals to him on death row.” (www.crimemageyine.com) If this man was such a moral citizen, what could have brought him to the torturous murders of those young women? What psychological explanation is given on his behalf? I feel that a child’s upbringing and their exposure to different things can also trigger certain urges. Usually, the profile of a serial killer tends to be white heterosexual males in their twenties or thirties. While it is impossible to predict who will become a serial killer, there are traits that appear to be similar in all killers. These behaviors include cruelty to animals, bedwetting, lying, stealing, cheating, alcohol and drug abuse, and a very high fascination for pornography. A lot of these traits are prominent in Ted Bundy’s character. An obvious one was he was white, he had a history of torturing animals and was often found reading his grandfather’s porn magazines. The biggest...

The University is also known to host students from all over the country and ensure performance beyond academic performance. As a performing student, I feel Colombia Southern University is my institution of choice, in improving my grades and curriculum involvement. The University will not only ensure that I get to achieve good grades, but it will help me interact with other performing students from other states and widen my social circle which will improve my opportunities in life. Secondly, my family has always preferred Colombia Southern University to any other University since my father, mother, my elder brother, and two of my uncles have attended the University. The attendance of the University is considered to be a sort of family heirloom and is the second born I am expected to inherit that mantle as my two younger siblings...

In my prior job and at my current job I have always supervised someone from the baby boomer generation and they have always proven to be a valuable asset to the agency. They show undeniable dedication and gratitude with everything they do. When I took my first job out of college I worked as a Project Director for the Community Action Agency in Athens, GA. I remember being excited to start my first job and how wonderful it was to officially be on my own. Well, my first day at work I noticed I was the youngest person there (24) everyone else was in their late 30s to early 60s. The next day upon doing my daily routine I noticed an elderly woman about 65, her name was Ms. Edna she was a volunteer who came to work with our agency via the Council on Aging (it was a grant program, I forget the name of the program but it put seniors citizens back to work at minimum wage) after meeting her I remember listen to people complain about how she could do nothing right, but at the same time I never noticed anyone trying to correct(train) her or for that fact show her how to do anything right.

...B Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” is an article from The Wall Street Journal. The sender Amy Chua, a professor at Yale Law School in USA, is comparing the Chinese upbringing to the Western way of upbringing. Mrs. Chua is trying to explain to the receiver, western parents, that there are pros and cons when you look at the Chinese way of educating children, but she also shows, that it leads to good results. The argumentation, in Mrs. Chua’s article is open. By using the open argumentation is gives Mrs. Chua the chance to show of her own opinion. And thereby reveal a little bit of herself to the reader. “For example, my Western friends who consider themselves strict make their children practice their instruments 30 minutes every day. An hour at most. For a Chinese mother the first hour is the easy part. It’s hours two and three that get tough.” Here Amy is arguing which of the cultures that is the strictest when it comes to the children’s after school activities. Later on in the text she even gives an example of how she makes her own children practice. “Lulu could not do it. We worked on it nonstop for a week, drilling each of her hands separately, over and over.” In this paragraph on page 9, we can see how she is clearly in favor of the Chinese method, which she uses herself. Amy Chua uses all of the known forms of appeal to convince the reader. Mrs. Chua starts out with the logos appeal form. “..there are tons of studies out there...

...Intercultural Interview Introduction Through analysis and comparisons of our cultures, I hope to be able to determine what cause cultural conflicts and specifically, those Ernesto and his family encountered on arriving to the United States. I will use data from Hofstede and references from Adler’s text to take a retrospective look into our belief and value systems. By doing so, we will gain a better understand of how cultural heritage plays an important role in how we develop stereotypes and misconceptions. Interviewing Ernesto should give he and I a better understanding on how we view each others culture. Since I do not have work colleagues, I chose to interview a friend of mine whose name is Ernesto. Ernesto has a security clearance with the federal government and for that reason; he asked me not to use his last name. Understanding the sensitivities surrounding security clearances, I agreed. Comparing Family Backgrounds Ernesto was born in Panama in 1966. He is married with two kids and currently resides in Maryland. In 1976, at the age of ten, Ernesto and his family immigrated to the United States. He initially it found difficult adjusting to American life, primarily because of the language barrier. He was educated in Panama up until the six-grade, and ultimately finished his primary education in the United States. Not long after that he entered the military, where he ultimately retired and now works for the federal government. I am also married with six kids...

...Individual Ethical Decision-Making Analysis James Waylon Jahns Facilitator Howard Introduction to Philosophy December 23, 2012 Individual Ethical Decision-Making Analysis Introduction Throughout my lifetime I have dealt with everything from priests to murderers, I have witnessed preachers with no morals and thieves with moral rules. I have made good decisions and bad decisions, however, every decision I made was made with good intentions. Ethical theories vary as to causation and intent; however, intent is the common factor of every ethical theory. Trust and Betrayal Last year my niece used my name as a reference so that a bail person would bond her out of jail; when my niece failed to show up for court the bonding company called me asking for help. Because my niece used my name I felt obligated to find her, my sister was very upset when I turned my niece in to the bounty hunters. I thought a long time before making the decision to turn in my niece. I am not sure which ethical theory best supports my decision but I would say my virtues where the deciding factor, I have a good reputation and my niece used that reputation for personal gain, therefore, there was a revenge factor involved. I turned my niece in because what she did was wrong and also because the local bonding companies trust me, I wanted to maintain that trust.

...Fester was brought in to take his position as project head. With all the questions and research analysis that Fester completed on his own, Knowlton felt betrayed since his friend and mentor Jerrod never took the time to explain to him what was happening. When Knowlton did approach Jerrod to question why Fester was there, Jerrod replied, “We’re taking him on [.]”Jerrod also replied that, “I don’t know yet where he will finally land …I thought he might spend a little time with you by way of getting started.” I believe that Knowlton should have gone back to talked to Jerrod again. Knowlton should have got his point across about the way that he and his team was feeling about Fester questions the work that he and his team had completed over the last six months and how calling his home at 2 o’clock explaining how Link’s patterning problem could be solved among other things. Jerrod could have then explained that Fester was brought in to be the project head for another department. In 1996, my husband and I were transferred to Korea for one year by the Army and our two kids that were 15 months old and 3 ½ months old stayed with my mother-in-law.

...This also a style of parenting that I feel is harmful towards the child. When a parent is permissive, I see it as the parent being absent from the child's life because of the way the parents choose to raise the child or children. Being lenient to avoid any problems with your child is a way of being a permissive parent. It is good for a child to experience life and do things that he or she would like to do, but as parent you have to step in at the right time because children think of things at that moment never about things that could happen in the long run. Showing a permissive style of parenting is almost like you are letting the child be the adult. As a parent you don't want to be too hard, but you don't want to be to nice so you let the child fix things. For example, if my parents upset me they would send me to my room, that would be the end of it. Permissive parents would not even send the child to his or her room; they would allow the child to talk back and do as he or she please. It is as though the child is in control. Permissive parenting style has firm action or structure, which could harm the child in the long run, especially with self-control and self-discipline. As a parent you should want to set some form of rules or boundaries between one another. Trying to accommodate everything for your child will only hurt them in the future. There is an adult or adults and there is a child or or...

...Contemporary Disciples: Mother Teresa Description Mother Teresa is most known for serving the poor and destitute. Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India. Missionaries of Charity was a facility where poor people who were dying in the streets were brought and taken care of. Mother Teresa originally taught at St. Mary’s High School from 1931 to 1948 where she often saw the condition of poor people that deeply impacted her and made her want to serve the destitute. From 1948, Mother Teresa left the convent school to take on the task of helping poor slum dwellers in Calcutta. She started an open-air school for children from slums where she was joined by volunteers. Mother Teresa also learnt basic medical techniques as she realized the lack of basic facilities for the poor. She used the basic medical techniques she knew to help the poor who were unable to afford medication. Mother Teresa helped everyone. In 1980, she opened homes for people who had no one to look after them. These people included people suffering from incurable diseases, prostitutes, drug addicts as well as orphans. In 1985, Mother Teresa established a centre for people suffering from AIDS where thousands of patients were provided shelter. Interpretation Mother Teresa wanted to spread the word of love and compassion to the whole world. This is the reason why she made the decision to become a catholic nun. Mother Teresa now stands as the icon of peace...
