...In the book Flatland, there can be numerous motives that the author is trying to tell the reader through very detailed text in the story. Often the author mixes a scientific plot with a narrative figure telling the story. Many of the motives in this story express themselves and eventually intertwine to answer and solve the main characters’ problems in the story. One of the motives that the author is trying to reach to his audience is the explanation of higher dimensions to a second dimension creature also know as the square. The author includes this in his story to educate the reader or the audience on a better understanding of math, and how dimensions play a big role with geometric shapes. The author follows this idea through the whole book, as this motive shapes the main character’s personality of how he acts to his fellow flatlanders. Through the beginning of the story, a square explains many of the traits of Flatland to his readers. In the story he usually explains his ideas or motives to the reader to help better their understanding of Flatland and his environment that surrounds him. “Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight lines, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons and other figures.” (Abbott 15). Throughout the story, a square comes to the conclusion that his simple life is the greatest and the most superior to all of the shapes of Flatland; Not knowing that there are more answers and adventures to be discovered, which might change his life and understanding...

...Code of Ethics Analysis There are many obstacles one will encounter in the human service organizations. One of the biggest issues is trying to explain to the clients that they need to give informed consent. Human service organizations tend to forget about the rights of the patient to give consent on treatment plans or methods of treatments under certain instances. For example, if a patient has a mental illness, it may be hard for a social worker to explain what is going on in a way that the patient will understand it. This situation may lead to the patient to not fully understanding that they have just given consent to be treated or not treated. The NASW, or National Association of Social Workers, had a Code of Ethics. This Code is to help guide the social workers on how to behave in a professional matter, how to handle situations in an ethical matter, and it gives a list of standards that are to be meet in an ethical way. These codes or rules may affect how a social worker will obtain consent from a patient because the patient could have a hearing disorder, a mental disorder, or they could even speak a different language. The goal of NASW is to take each situation and outline a way in which the social worker can get the consent they need. For example, let us say that the client is illiterate, or cannot understand the main language being used. The social worker will then have to verbally explain everything in a way that the client will understand them. If the...

...Lynda K. Ilea CJS/230 Instructor: Margaret Peck What is your opinion of probation? What should happen with probation programs in the future? Do you think it would be appropriate to increase restrictions imposed on probation? Explain your rationale. Probation is a good concept and does work for the most part. When I was put on probation I really did not understand the true meaning of what Probation really meant. After being violated because of dirty drug urine's, I was returned back into the court system, later I was sentenced to time in jail. My real opinion on this, having your lawyer drill into your head the importance of what probation and rehabilitation truly means to the accused and the addict. Probation programs needs to concentrate on the rehabilitation of the individual that has obviously lost their way. If we spend the time to find out what is going on with the accused, we will find that there are usually some serious underlining issues that have caused them to do the things that they have done to land themselves in jail. Programs should focus more on the rehabilitation of the individual; everyone deserves the education on how to fix their problem. I do believe that the state should not always pick up the tab, so it should be treated as if the person is applying for a student loan. Promising to pay back to society what they have taken out of it. I never understood the error of my ways until I maintain a substantial amount of clean time. The longer...

...Chad Conger Mrs. Yoakum English105 17 October 2012 Summary In the article “Working Life” the author, Nisha Ramachandran, explains how working during your time in college can affect your life in many ways, but ultimately being a student should come first. Ramachandran opens up by elaborating on the average cost of college and how it can be overwhelming at times. She says, “ 74 percent of full-time students juggle work and school.”(292) Additionally 46 percent of those students work 25 hours or more in a week, and 20 percent work full time. Ramachandran also states that students should look for co-op programs that employ students into fields of their studies. The article explains that these carriers often pay better due to the amount of skills needed. Along with money, these co-op programs offer a look into the actual life of a possible future profession for the student. Ramachandran informs on the benefits of tuition reimbursement to student-employees. She states that these companies help a student with their school costs as well as money in pocket. As well as filling your pockets the author explains how building a solid resume while in college is also important.

...Explain informed consent and confidentiality to the client. Informed consent involves the counselor explaining the benefits and risks of counseling as well as its alternatives. It also allows the counselor permission to record counseling sessions in writing, and via video and auditory means. In an educational institution setting, informed consent allows students to observe counseling sessions. Once these issues are explained to the potential client, the client is asked to sign legal documents that state the client understands and agrees to the services to be provided and their potential dangers. When counseling minors, informed consent must come from a parent. While explaining the pros and cons of counseling to the parent, the counselor must also explain the necessity of confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship with a minor. A confidentiality form is presented during the discussion of confidentiality. In adhering to counseling ethics, the counselor must explain that confidentiality is a promise not to discuss matters that are shared by the client with a third party unless under pre-determined exceptions. The exceptions to confidentiality include reporting information the client reveals to the counselor that suggests he or she is a danger to him or herself or others. For example: If a client talks about killing himself and identifies that he has a plan and the means to execute that plan, it is the counselor's ethical responsibility to inform appropriate...

...Tutor marked assignment 1 1. Possible reasons for Petra’s ill-health: She is working really long hours; she is also working on Saturday. No one explained to her anything about her job, so she has to find out everything by herself. She doesn’t communicate with someone in the company and feels ignored by everyone. 2. She might feel loss of appetite, because she is always busy and doesn’t have time for lunch or dinner. She can have a migraine, because she is always thinking about her work, and she has to find out how to do everything on her own, so she has to be much stressed. Also she might have stomach cramps, because she doesn’t eat a lot, because of the lack of time. And she doesn’t have a proper food routine, when exactly she is having lunch or dinner. She might be shaking all the time, because she can’t handle everything what she has to do. 3. She should start working less and don’t work on Saturdays. Also she should ask someone to explain her about her job. She doesn’t speak with anyone, but at least she could ask her employer to explain about things. Or she could try to communicate with someone. 4. Her employer should introduce her to all the staff, that she wouldn’t feel isolated. Also he supposed to train her on her work and show her how to do everything. Because once she is trained maybe she can cope with her job and spend less time at work. Of course employer should tell her that she can work just 5 days per week and just 8 hours per day. He shouldn’t...

...A number of questions seem to crop up quite often so here they are with my answers in one place for you: "How many references do I need?" - there is no magic number for this as it is more about how you use the references rather than how many. You need to go to the original sources for the theories you use and quote them. "How do I format the references?" - too long an answer for here. The library has a lot of information and you can ask for help at the first floor learning resource centre. And there is a whole chapter on this in the green essay skills book "Do I need to provide a bibliography? - no - you need a list of references at the end in the correct format. "Do I need to criticise the theories?" - I guess this should form part of the compare and contrast element "Can I use both process or both content theories?" - you can choose any theory you like "I used Maslow but now remember that you said not to. Is this OK?" - yes - but make sure you are critical of Maslow as most(all?) theorists are "I haven't got enough to fill the word limit" - you probably need to go into more detail then. Make sure you have answered all the parts of the question I would like to use a piece of evidence for a certain example within one of the theories and have found a previous example used within a book. Would this be okay to use the example given? Obviously it would be rewritten in my own words and included in my referencing. Hi, regarding the issue of comparing and contrasting:...

...really understand the relationship between their responsibility and their final results. Thus managers didn´t comprehend what´s expected of them. The new system came up with better “explanation” of employee’s responsibility. Managers could much better understand how their actions and decisions are related to the final economic results of the company. However, there were some difficulties in the form of implementation, in my opinion. From what I understood, new system lacks communication between creators and employees. I don´t think managers felt and understood the necessity of change. More communication in form of meetings and seminars would improve their attitude towards progress in the company. Misinterpreting of implementation of the new system is proved when managers complained “It almost seems like the operating managers finally understood the old report, so they decided change it." This is the evidence that managers didn´t understand the purpose of writing reports and weren´t able to recognize the importance of specific information in the reports. Their frustration and disappointment about might lead to unwillingness to change and improve their working habits. In my opinion, creators of the new performance measurement system underestimated the way of introducing new rules, mainly the explanation of change necessity. Managers weren´t familiar with this thought so their attitude towards new rules wasn´t as creators...

...Raymond Carver’s story, "Cathedral’, talks about an outside relationship within a marriage that is established between the narrator’s wife and a blind man. The story elaborates how the relationship can affect the normal relations of the couple. Communication in that marriage is not as effective as expected. Also, the privacy of the husband is affected. However, openness results to seeing a cathedral when the husband explains what it is to the blind man. The title is based on the cathedral but the story is about two men who have a problem seeing. In Franz Kafka’s story, "A Hunger Artist," a man, who the writer calls “Hunger Artist”, sets on a journey with his impresario from one town to the other and finds a public place to show his fasting skills.

...Teamwork and Team Performance - Case Study 3/23/2013 Contents 1. Group Development 3 2. Problem Identification 3 3. Retrospective Evaluation 4 4. Reflection 5 1. Group Development There are five stages of group development in which a team passes through: Forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The group for this case study is currently, 1 week before the due date, in both the norming stage and performing stage. They have adapted to the absence of Mike and are motivated to finish the analysis in an effort to achieve a good grade. Each member has completed their part except Mike, who has just handed in notes to Christine. All of the other members have looked past any turmoil of Mike and either adapted to that or ignored him. Managing a team through these five stages will increase the overall effectiveness of that team; therefore understanding the different stages could have assisted Christine. If she knew what each stage entailed ahead of time, she could have anticipated certain issues or attempted to resolve them. In the beginning Christine should have laid out the group rules, assigned all the tasks, and allowed the members to introduce themselves and get to know one another. I think she did a good job leading them into scheduled meetings; however, Mike was just a complainer about the early meeting. When tension arose in the group, because Mike was upset seeing the group members having a good time and mingling without him...
