...Febuary 16, 2015 Leah Reagan PSY/460 The definition of environmental psychology is to study how the environment can influence and affect how a person react or acts and certain aspects of their life, for example if you have to use the rest room and you are in a place with a waterfall or a water feature it can cause you to have the use the restroom room with much more intensity then if you did not see the water, or if you are in a place with dimly lit lights and soft music you start to feel drowsy/ sleepy. This is why environmental psychology is studied to determine why the environment causes people to react in certain ways. Environmental psychology study can help many with making improvements within the work area regarding employee productivity, if an employee is at work and the colors on the wall make them feel gloomy and sad it may cause the employee to work less and not as much as he/she may usually work. Many employees at work listen to music which seems to help with productivity and causes employees to be upbeat and cheerful having this kind of information is very beneficial with that being said Architectural psychology is just as important as is environmental psychology the two go hand in hand. Architectural psychology gave importance to the physical environment of one’s area (Steg, 2013). This information is useful to assist with the help of relieving physical stressors; It can help with the design...

...3) In the selected verse of Adrienne Rich’s poem “The Burning of Paper Instead of Children,” Rich’s thought-provoking use of words and language relates to the cycle of oppression. Rich believes that through verbal exchanges, individuals are passing down oppressed ideas to one another, furthering the colonization of the mind. In the verse “…knowledge of the oppressor/ this is the oppressor’s language/ yet I need it to talk to you,” Rich depicts the paradoxical nature of society’s colonization of the mind and her conscious effort to be free of such mindset. Rich is fully aware of the knowledge that she is citing and the language that she is speaking is tainted with the oppressor’s – society’s – ideals. Yet she also believes that these two elements are needed in today’s everyday communication. It is dangerous when an act as natural as interacting with others can be oppressive, because language is an extremely powerful tool. All forms of languages, such as verbal exchange, body language and sign languages to name a few, are capable of changing perspectives of others. When used appropriately, people can use languages to end the outcomes of mind colonizing, such as racial stereotypes and racial superiority. However, most people abuse their ability to connect with others and use communication as means of perpetuating judgment of “others” and marginalizing certain groups, which ultimately results in a nonstop cycle of oppression. In the verses “…and they take the book away/ love and...

...1 The Book of Daniel takes a special place within the books of the Bible. The book not only tells the story of Daniel, but it also contains a prophetic vision of the future revealed to Daniel in his dreams and visions. According to many commentators it also presents a broad outline of the world history revealed through the visions and dreams. The text of the Book of Daniel contains numerous references to rulers and kings. To understand who they were is crucial in order to interpret the Book of Daniel and evaluate its historical veracity. Whether the descriptions and characteristics of those rulers can be verified remains a debated issue in the biblical exegesis. As it follows from the text of the book, Daniel was a Jewish man who was taken captive in Jerusalem by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. Following the Babylonian invasion, the entire Jewish nation was taken to Babylon and the Jerusalem temple was destroyed by the invaders. The much lamented captivity in Babylon is described in many parts of the Bible, for example in the famous Psalm 137 beginning with the words “By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.” Daniel, along with some other Jewish young “men without physical defect, and handsome," was taken to the court of the king to study the Babylonian wisdom, language and literature (Daniel 1:4 New International Version). God gave Daniel and his companions “knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could...

...Compare the methods the poets use to explore the connection between people and the places in which they live in ‘Hurricane Hits England’ and one other poem. In the two poems ‘Hurricane Hits England’ and ‘Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan’ both poets use a variety of literary techniques such as the setting style and themes to invoke within the reader a sense of the narrators nationality in the poem. The poem ‘Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan’ is set in England with a girl remembering her previous life in Pakistan. The poet Moniza Alvi depicts the dilemma of the young Asian girl who is growing up in England but family and relatives are strongly rooted in Pakistani culture and traditions. She feels lost, she’s confused about her identity and she feels ‘half-English.’ This indicates that she is not truly identifying with English cultures. The poem is written as a first person narrative to enable us to share her story, the reader can identify more easily with one person. Imagery is used throughout the poem, ‘Glistening like an orange split open.’ This enables the reader to visualise, hence become more involved and the poem becomes more alive. The conflict between her two cultures felt by this young girl is juxtaposed throughout the poem this reinforces the differences between the two nationalities. ‘My salwar kameez didn’t impress the school friend.’ Her friends did not like beautiful, top quality, traditional Pakistani clothes. The poet also makes a political comment by...

...true. I can see the stars, therefore I know they are there, but in contrast just because I cannot see God, does not mean that I don’t believe in him. Part Two: The question of origin – The question of origin is basically where we come from. The Christian worldview is that in 6 days God created everything, the land, the sea, the animals, the sun and the stars. We also learn in Genesis 1:26 that God desired to create man in his own image so that he could rule over everything on the earth. Also within the question of origin we learn that God created man and women in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) The question of identity – In my view of Identity I believe that my true identity is that I am a sinner. I am a sinner who cannot inherit God’s kingdom until I repent my sins and accept him as my Lord and Savior (Romans 5:8). I also believe that my identity is that God created man into his own likeness and allowed us to take command and rule over everything on earth (Genesis 1:27-30) as God has allowed us to use the cattle and the fowl as well as grain to feed and clothe ourselves. This example is one that allows us to recognize God’s greatness as well as his plans for us. The question of meaning/purpose – What is our purpose? Why are we here? We are here for several reasons, though primarily we are here and we were created to serve God, to seek him out and seek out his kingdom (Matthew 6:33) We are also here with the purpose of spreading the Word and providing non believers...

...Leapor goes beyond the traditional forms by using startling, even distasteful, imagery to make her point. These contrasts are set sharply against the mood and context of the initial forms, yet they work because they follow the general “rules” of the traditions. By instilling her own form of reality into the Pastoral, Leapor gives herself permission to recreate the genre in an aesthetically, ideologically acceptable way. Leapor’s theme focuses upon her position as a female author and the position her identity as an author places her in relative to society: her use of the pastoral emphasizes that theme. Leapor uses these techniques to create a body of work that is structurally in line with the Pastoral, yet definitively sets her ideals and themes in the forefront of her poetry, thus placing both Leapor and her writing within the literary tradition. Leapor’s satirical voice is clear and distinct within the bounds of her poetry. The Pastoral form, with its gentle verses and lovely scenes, contrasts completely with Leapor’s voice. Leapor’s shift from the traditional subject of Pastoral poetry gives her the opportunity for contrasts that allow satire and emphasis. In “An Epistle to Artemesia, On Fame,” the subject of the poem, a young authoress called Mira, is not at once identifiable by her employment as a servant. Her initial description, which follows, gives no real indication of who Mira is:...

...AND SCIENCE, YOUTH AND SPORT OF UKRAINE Kyiv National Linguistic University “Patterns of rhythm and rhyme in poetry” Kyiv - 2012 Rhyme is a complete or almost complete coincidence of acoustic images produced by stressed syllables. It is created by the repetition of the same sounds in the last stressed syllable of two (or more) lines in a stanza. Rhyming words are generally placed at a regular distance from each other and in verse they are usually placed at the end of the corresponding lines. Identity and particularly similarity of sound combinations may be relative. For instance, we distinguish between full rhymes and incomplete rhymes. The full rhyme presupposes identity of the vowel sound and the following consonant sounds in a stressed syllable, as in might – right; needless – heedless. When there is identity of the stressed syllable, including the initial consonant of the second syllable (in polysyllabic words), we have exact (identical) rhymes. Incomplete rhymes can be divided into two main groups: * vowel rhymes – the vowels of the syllables in corresponding words are identical, but the consonants may be different: e.g. flesh – fresh – press. * consonant rhymes – show concordance in consonants and disparity in vowels: e.g. worth – forth; tale – tool; treble – trouble; flung – long. By the type of the stressed syllable...

...The idea of Belonging is a dynamic and essential aspect of life through an individual’s portrayal of identity, place, relationship and acceptance, it is also dependant on the person’s perception of what belonging is defined as. The free-verse novel ‘The Simple Gift’ written by Steven Herrick and picture book ‘Way Home’ composed by Libby Hathorn convey these different dimensions of belonging through characters and context. Both main characters of the texts share the same themes of homelessness and connections through people and even unusual materials consisting of personal things and places. The Simple Gift by Steven Herrick explores many aspects of how belonging is portrayed. Herrick composes the free verse novel through the perspectives of 3 main characters including Billy, Old Bill and Caitlin which gives the audience an insight of each person’s unique perspectives. The main protagonist Billy Luckett is illustrated as a 16 year old runaway who experiences abuse from his father and seeks to find his identity and form bonds with the other characters and unique places. Regarding this, Old Bill nicknames the freight carriages as The Bendarat Hilton in which Billy and him dwell in to create a sense of belonging which is not necessarily theirs and also creates a broader symbol of belonging through Billy’s quote “and I looked up into the sky, the deep blue sky that Old Bill and I shared” symbolising that belonging reaches beyond boundaries. Billy also explains through soliloquy how...

...considered as classic Hebrew Poetry. The belief of the poem would be that God is a refuge for Israel (verses, 2, 8, and 11). Psalm 46 consists of three types of poetic structure and they are antithetic parallelism, synonymous parallelism, and synthetic parallelism. Antithetic parallelism means that there are two portions of the verse, and the second part gives the reverse side of the parts made in the first part or it negates the first point. This can be seen in verse 6. Synonymous parallelism means that there are two portions of the verse; the second part uses different words to restate the first part. This can be seen in verses 7 and 11. Synthetic parallelism means that there are two portions of the verse, and the second part elaborates on the first part, giving an illustration or elaboration. The following verses are example of synthetic parallelism: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10. When it comes to the interpretation of the Psalm 46, many scholars have different views. However, three of the most noted traditional scholars, William Edward Addis John Robert Dummelow, and H.C. Leupold are in complete agreement as to the occasion that Psalm 46 was created. They all agree that the occasion was shortly after the destruction of Sennacherib’s army before the walls of Jerusalem in 701 B.C. According to Addis, Psalm 46 looks back to the deliverance of Israel from Sennacherib. He compares verse 5 with Isaiah 37:36, which talks about how Sennacherib’s army all died in the early morning....

...The Long Road Out Of Eden A scrutiny of marital relationships and the subsequent consequence on the individuality of women as seen in Astitiva Submitted by: Pavithra Sagar 05D1829 III PSEng Submitted to: Ms. Abhaya Dept. Of Media Studies Christ College “In olden times, sacrifices were made at the altar – a custom which is still continued” Helen Rowland Although marriage might have been instituted in the Garden of Eden when man was in innocence (Gen 2:18-24), marriages are seldom believed to have been made in heaven, unless couples habitually wear rose-tinted glasses. Essentially and realistically, marriage is but a contract or a traditional bargain which is drawn up between men and women. As defined by the World Book Encyclopedia. ‘It is the relationship between a man and a woman who have made legal agreement to live together. When a man and a woman marry, they become husband and wife’. Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage and many roles and duties of the husband and wife are based on religious codes. Most marriage laws that are based on religious edicts favor men. Genesis, the story of creation reveals how God created Man and Woman and placed them in the Garden of Eden. There, they dwelt as equals as both were created in the image of God and thus had undifferentiated roles, duties, shared the same status and their relationship was a ‘partnership of equals’. It was only after the deception of the...

...The first deals with loving your enemies. This love does not mean a simple tolerance of your enemies. It is love as an action. Verse 28 states, “…do good to those who hate you”. Jesus wants us to seek out our enemies and show them that no matter the circumstances, show them that they are loved. Verse 29 is an extension of the previous verse, “Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also.” This verse coincides with the previous one because Jesus tells us to always come from a place of love and not of hate or anger. If you hit someone who has hit you, you are no longer loving your enemy. “Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.” is Jesus’ way of telling us to give to those in need. We are judged by God by how we treat the lowest of...

...Identity The theme for this poem is Identity and it focuses on being independent and standing up for yourself. The poem Identity by Julio Noboa Polanco is a free verse poem that is made up of 5 stanzas. The theme of the poem is identity and the poet compares a flower to a weed saying that sometimes it’s better to take a risk in life and be different to everyone else rather than being rooted to the ground and stuck in the same place. The poem has a strong and defiant tone, as seen in ‘Let them be flowers,” and “I’d rather” and the poet appears to be very confident with his decision. It is written in a positive tone as the poet is celebrating his individuality and happy about his choice. The poem mainly consists of metaphors, as the poet is referring to himself as a weed as seen in most of the poem: “I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed, clinging on cliffs, like an eagle wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.” He has also amended to using the form of an actual weed and flower. An example is “Let them be as flowers, always watered, fed, guarded, admired, but harnessed to a pot of dirt.” The flower is representing everyone else, admired, popular and pretty but trapped while the weed as shown in “I'd rather be unseen, and if then shunned by everyone, than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,” is representing the poet who would rather follow his own path than be like everyone else. There is also a very clever use of personification by the poet as he gives the weed and flowers human like...

...evident in songs like “People’s Parties” and “Twisted”. The lyrics to these songs within the album “Court and Spark” authenticate Mitchell’s belief that men cannot be trusted in relationships. Mitchell believes men are unfaithful in relationships. The opening lines of “Court and Spark” demonstrate her cynicism, “Love came to my door with a sleeping roll and a madman’s soul.”(Mitchell, “Court and Spark.” Verse 1, Lines 1-2) Not by chance, the sleeping roll is the first thing she notices about this travelling man. A bed, unlike a sleeping roll, is something permanently fixed and symbolizes commitment. However, he can roll up the latter and leave her for someone else’s door whenever he chooses, a freedom that lacks faithfulness. This evaluation of Mitchell’s first lines provides insight into what might be the true intentions of his actions mentioned later on, “…dancing up the river in the dark looking for a woman to court and spark.” (Mitchell, “Court and Spark.” Verse 1, Lines 5-6) These lyrics create the image of a gypsy searching for a girl to woo into bed, so that he may have a place to sleep and...

...song society is a melancholic song representing Chris Mccandles (Alex Supertramp) journey through his rediscovered life. The song focuses on materialism shaping your identity. The songs theme is strengthen by the fact that the song only is performed by Eddie Vedders humming voice and the strumming guitar. The ebb and flow of Vedder’s voice, paired with the decrescendos and crescendos of the wave-like guitar, reflected the tug of the wild on Alex’s life. The strumming guitar is similar to the cadenced pounding of the ocean, with its tides and undertows; its wild, mysterious grandeur. Chris flees society to find a peaceful place were he's not judged by his belongings, but by his personality. I think he was frustrated by the problems of the world and the greed of humans, as Eddie Vedder murmurs in the opening lines of Society, with the beautiful play on words, “we have agreed, with which we have a greed.” All humans have an instinctive greed, the desire for more; this is universal. How we control and channel this greed shapes our principles. The song has an interesting form. Building up through the verses leading to the catchy chorus. The verses all has four lines, but the chorus starts with two lines leading to four lines ending up with eight lines in the last chorus. As you'll notice the chorus is the only place in the song where's backing vocal humming society. I think it's represent some of Chris's thought at the end of the movie where he writes his last dairy entry. Happiness...
