...The Summary of Ego Boundaries, or the Fit of My Father’s Shirt It is found that people often think and act differently. And there is such an interesting experience that you can always hear two voices from your mind, one is positive and the other negative. So we doubt that how many selves inhabit in our brain on earth, and we also wonder that how can we distinguish a self from another? Can a single person hold different personalities? Different people may give different perspectives. However, those are multiple personality and selfhood that Robert Sapolsky wants to argue through his own experience after his father’s death in his essay. Sapolsky firstly took us to look around Stephen Hawking’s lecture. Stephen Hawking was a highly respected astrophysicist. He couldn’t walk by himself, and even needed a spokesman to interpret for him in the class. After observing all Hawking’s behaviors and comparing with those he had in the past, the write considered Hawking’s act as a metaphor and raised further questions about the separation of bodies and consciousness. And the write thought that two hemispheres of the brain can function separately. He brought Roger Sperry’s experiment in to prove it. And he also introduced another notion presented by Julian Jaynes who stated that there were two individuals inside a single brain, which was rejected by Sperry. Nevertheless, there were battles about it all the time. Then the writer showed us different views about split personalities from clinicians...

...Summary of “The Importance of Being Earnest” In Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest,” Jack Worthing, the play’s protagonist, is a young man who shoulders many responsibilities as a respectable citizen of Victorian society. In Hertfordshire, he is appointed the role of guardian to Miss Cecily Cardew, by the deceased Mr. Thomas Cardew, who adopted Jack when he was found abandoned as a baby. He also carries the title of Justice of the Peace and controls a large country estate. As such, he invents an alter ego for himself whom he calls Earnest. Earnest possesses all the qualities Jack pretends to disapprove of; he is exciting and irresponsible. Whenever Jack seeks freedom from his responsibilities he goes into London and tells Cecily he must take care of his brother Earnest who is always getting into trouble. In truth, Jack is posing as Earnest in London and Jack in the country. In Act I, Jack goes into London to tell Algernon Moncrieff, his friend, that he intends to propose to Gwendolen Fairfax, Algernon’s cousin. Algernon, who has begun to suspect Jack’s alter ego, asks Jack why he has a cigarette case addressed to “Uncle Jack” with the inscription, “From little Cecily with her fondest love.” Jack explains that his true name is Jack Worthing and that he takes the name Earnest in London whenever he wants to indulge in certain pleasures. Algernon confesses that he too tries to escape the boundaries put on him by pretending he has a fictitious...

...OVERVIEW OF THEORIES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR & THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT APPLICATIONS TO SOCIAL WORK GENERALIST PRACTICE The following is a very general outline summarizing the theories covered in the NCSSS foundation classes of SSS 571: Human Behavior & the Social Environment. Theory application & integration with practice are demonstrated. This outline is only a summary of highlights; all theorists, ideas, and concepts are not included. Because human behavior is complex and the social work profession is broad, numerous theories are utilized for social work practice at the micro-meso-macro levels. These theories focus on human growth and development, psychological and social functioning, and social service delivery. Some theories emphasize social and economic justice. All theories are value-laden and come out of a socio-historical context. Thus, all theories should be critiqued with attention paid to their cross-cultural applicability. DEFINITIONS: Theory—interrelated sets of concepts and propositions, organized into a deductive system to explain relationships about certain aspects of the world (e.g., the theories listed below). Perspective—an emphasis or point of view; concepts at an earlier level of development (e.g., a “strengths perspective”) or at a broader and higher level of abstraction (ex: a “humanistic perspective” or a “developmental perspective”) Paradigm—an archetype or mode of thought; a general way of seeing the world (e.g., “modernism” or “post-modernism”) Practice...

...Marriage Guidance – Summary MGG201W MGG201W – Marriage Guidance – facilitative couples counselling Theme ONE – Understanding couples Intimacy involves: love, affection and caring, deep attachment to another person. The TRIPOD of couple relationships An intimate relationship consists of three factors that form a tripod on which the relationship rests. 1. Passionate attraction (PA) 2. Mutual expectations (ME) 3. Personal intentions (PI) Passionate attractions (PA) → Individual experiences intensely pleasurable sensations when thinking about or being with a new partner. → Blushing, trembling, breathlessness, high sexual desire → Referred to as infatuation = passing love “a foolish and unreasoning love’ → Infatuation is not a realistic / accurate appraisal of the relationship / idealisation → Negative / flaws in the idealised beloved may be intellectually recognised, but disregarded as endearingly special. Person chooses to ignore the negatives → Normal phase in the process of relationships → Infatuation can lead to a lasting relationship – but it mostly fades away and relationship based on infatuation alone will fail. Love → Involves physical attraction - deeper → Love encompasses PA, ME and PI → People rely mostly on life experiences to guide them to their own unique way of demonstrating love. → Eric Fromm “love is active concern for the life and growth of the person we love” → Love is deep, unselfish, caring, deep respect Hauck’s basic principles about love • It is not just...

...“Reality” television [738 words] Summary of When Reality TV Gets Too Real by Jeremy W. Peters [153 words] In When Reality TV Gets Too Real, Jeremy W. Peters debates the ethics of not stopping dangerous situations from happening on Reality Television. For this, several examples of such occurrences are cited, first when a participant took up drunk driving in the show Intervention, as well as similar episodes in Breaking Bonaduce, The Real World and Road Rules, and citing lawsuits against Big Brother, Kid Nation and Extreme Makeover, the last one getting sued for something else entirely. A number of occasions is also named where the producer of Intervention stops dangerous situations from developing, namely when to prevent suicide, drunk driving and to call paramedics in the event of an overdose. The article also states that the practise of simply filming while not stopping developing catastrophes are not technically illegal but somewhat unethical. The text ends with the comment “It's a very, very delicate balance”, leaving the issue open for interpretation. Outline of text 2 through 4 [252 words] In When Reality TV Gets Too Real, it is debated that Reality TV has a habit of creating dangerous or traumatic situations for viewers, simply because doing so is legal and gives higher rating. At times, some producers might draw the line though, and try to stop some situations from spiralling out of control, but those a more often the exception than the rule...

...BBC 401 Principle of Management Individual Assignment NAME: Juhalil bin Jumain STUDENT ID: BEC 140001 NAME OF LECTURER: Mohd Zairiza Bin Mohd Hashim BBC 401 Principle of Management Individual Assignment Summary I already watched three videos from Forbes about woman leader in an organization. The summary of three videos that I chooses, as women continue their upward trajectory in the business world, they have yet to be fully appreciated for the unique qualities and abilities they bring to the workplace. It’s impossible to respect, value and admire great leadership if you can’t identify what makes a leader great. As a leader of some organization woman was surrounded by strong-willed, hardworking and purpose-driven women. It is through their leadership that the traditions, values and legacy of our family have been upheld. They have taught that a woman’s instincts and emotional intelligence can be off the chart. For a man it so difficult to understand about what women thinking, because what woman thinking and what man thinking is have a little different. Also in woman act and innovation, unless he has been closely influenced by the women in his life. I’ve learned that women may process things differently and in their own terms. Fortunately for me, I’ve been influenced by great women who made me appreciate their approach towards leadership. I’ve grown to understand their decision-making processes, the dynamics and subtleties of their...

...Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development Oral stage: Age Range: Birth to 1 Year Erogenous Zone: Mouth * During the oral stage, the infant's primary source of interaction occurs through the mouth, so the rooting and sucking reflex is especially important. The mouth is vital for eating, and the infant derives pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying activities such as tasting and sucking. Because the infant is entirely dependent upon caretakers (who are responsible for feeding the child), the infant also develops a sense of trust and comfort through this oral stimulation. * The primary conflict at this stage is the weaning process--the child must become less dependent upon caretakers. If fixation occurs at this stage, Freud believed the individual would have issues with dependency or aggression. Oral fixation can result in problems with drinking, eating, smoking, or nail biting. The anal stage: Age Range: 1 to 3 years Erogenous Zone: Bowel and Bladder Control * During the anal stage, Freud believed that the primary focus of the libido was on controlling bladder and bowel movements. The major conflict at this stage is toilet training--the child has to learn to control his or her bodily needs. Developing this control leads to a sense of accomplishment and independence. * According to Freud, success at this stage is dependent upon the way in which parents approach toilet training. Parents who utilize praise and rewards for using the toilet at the appropriate...

...Orion Shield Project Analysis AMBA 640 Michael Muscenti Executive Summary The Orion Project was a doomed endeavor for Gary Allison from the start, as it was proposed via a fabrication that was schemed at the director level of SEC’s leadership. The fact that SEC’s senior leadership can operate so unethical leaves into the doubt the company’s integrity as a whole. Although SEC managed to pull off the contract, it left a strained relationship with its prime and damaged the moral of its employees. Gary’s lack of managerial experience and weak leadership abilities made him perfectly malleable towards Director Henry Larson’s schemes. Despite a solid education and engineering background, Gary was nonetheless naïve to the politics and cultural components involved in appeasing the stakeholders. He never followed his intuition, but instead allowed himself to be played by his bosses and micromanaged by STI. He disregarded the ethical and legal ramifications of his decisions and dismissed prioritizing the customer’s contractual protocols. Gary did not have a full understanding of the three constraints facing a project: time, cost, and scope. Gary was told upon promotion that most trained managers care most about time and cost. He assumed that his main focus should be on the scope. In actuality, all three constraints must be adhered to. The contract was poorly timed-managed, causing his team to work overtime while he failed to properly juggle his assigned duties. Cost overruns...

What is theory; Theory is about what we know and how we know it. ● Theories provide an abstract understanding of the communication process (Miller, 2002), ● A lens through see the world, which highlights some things (and ignores others!) (D&Z, 3), ● A systematic summary about the nature of the communication process. There are 3 types of theories: 1. Commonsense theory -Created by an individuals own personal experience, -Useful to us and are often a basis for our decisions about how to communicate, -These theory’s are not supported by research. 2. Working theory -Generalizations made in particular professions about the best techniques doing something, -Practical and more systematic than commonsense theory. 3. Scholarly theory -The theory has undergone systematic research, -Provides more thorough accurate and abstract explanations for communication, -They are often more complex and difficult to understand. Evaluating theory; These are some criteria for evaluating the usefulness of the theory. Not good or bad. What to look for Accuracy Has the research supported that the theory works the way it says it does? Look at the research...

...nearly fourteen million people are employed in sales and salesrelated occupations and that these people earn over $450 billion in wages. Moreover, salespeople represent a major investment for many companies, accounting for as much as 40% of their costs. A company’s fortune often rises and falls on the productivity of its salespeople. The goal of this module is to develop a better understanding of what salespeople do, what motivates them to succeed, and how to effectively manage their efforts. The Salesperson - A Boundary-Spanning Role Salespeople work on the boundary between a company and its customers. To the company, the salesperson is the voice of the customer. To the customer, the salesperson is the physical embodiment of the company. This boundary-spanning role creates unique tension for salespeople because they are constantly forced to reconcile the competing interests of both the buying and the selling organizations. Figure A: The Salesperson’s Boundary-Spanning Role Company Salesperson Customer Source: Casewriter. 1 These data come from the May 2005 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates report, which was accessed online at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#b41-0000 on 1 December 2006.

...Tradition And Modernity In the instinctive mode of western scholars, I had once thought of Tradition and Modernity as individual chapters, each of them thinking about its topic as an entity to be understood in its respective essence and unity. But I have come to understand in perhaps an equally perennial move by western students of Indian culture that these two terms do not in themselves exist. But they do function, dialogically. They work in relation with each other. Modernity functions as an economic and social tool to achieve some wealth, flexibility, and innovation for individuals and groups; Tradition functions, partly and at times largely, as a mythological state which produces the sensation of larger connectedness and stability in the face of shockingly massive social change over the last half-century. One might also say that Modernity is an economic force with social, cultural, and political correlatives; Tradition is a cultural force with social, economic, and political correlatives. Satisfyingly asymmetrical in their relation, they require us, in talking of one, to talk also of the other, just as they induce us to move as nimbly as possible between theoretical abstraction and experiential reality. But their separation is itself part of the mythological drama in current Indian thought, just as their mutual implication is the import of the same ironic smile that brings to an effective close any conversation one hears here about them. And so we take them in turn only...
