...Parenting Style and the Psychological Wellbeing in Young Adults Name: Course Instructor: Abstract This study examines the effects of opinion of parenting styles; (I will use PS to denote Parenting Styles) on the psychosocial success; (I will use PSS to denote psychosocial success) of emerging adults; (I will use EAs to denote emerging Adults). PSS was described as the successful resolution of the responsibilities hypothesized by Erikson’s juncture theory of psychosocial advancements (Erikson, 1975). The procedures of Psychosocial Development founded on Erikson’s hypothesis; (Hawley, 1988), the PAQ or Parental Authority Questionnaire (Buri 1991), coupled with the Internal-External level of Rotter (1966) were fulfilled by 334 undergraduates (ages 18-25). Examination revealed relations between • Authoritative style of parenting and PSS. • Maternal authoritative upbringing and internal Rotter’s hypothesis. • External Rotter’s hypothesis and maternal permissive and totalitarian PS. The link between paternal PS and PSS was also restrained by Rotter’s hypothesis. EAs’ PSS may be influenced both directly by their acuity of the PS they stumble upon earlier in life and circuitously through assumptions which may also be inclined by apparent PS. Introduction Arnett (2000) has recommended that the period of life spanning from age 18 to 25 be regarded as a distinctive life stage termed as Emerging Adulthood or Young Adulthood....

...Robert and of Mary Banneky, daughter of a formerly English servant named Molly Welsh and her husband, Bannka, a slave whom she freed. Banneker’s early years were spent with his family, including three sisters, growing tobacco on his parents’ 100-acre farm near the banks of the Patapsco River. In his early years he had been trained to read and write by his grandmother by means of a Bible she had purchased from England, but his only formal schooling was attendance for a week or two in a nearby Quaker one-room schoolhouse. Benjamin became an excellent reader, borrowing books from wherever he could, and developed considerable skill in mathematics. He enjoyed devising mathematical puzzles and solving those brought to him by others. During his teenage years, Banneker became friends with a farmer named Peter Heinrichs who owned a school near the family farm of Banneker. The library of this school became the root of Banneker’s education. He was self-educated in Literature, History and mathematics by himself. He showed an early interest in mathematics and mechanics, preferring books to play. Self-taught, Banneker was one of the first African Americans to gain distinction in science. His significant accomplishments include the successful prediction of a solar eclipse. Banneker spent most of his life on his family's 100-acre farm outside Baltimore. There, he taught himself astronomy by watching the stars and learned advanced mathematics from borrowed textbooks. In 1752, Banneker attracted...

...relating it to teenage perceptions, if viewed in hindsight as an adult armed with knowledge gleaned from the ever-patient teachings of experience. It seemed like the less I knew as a callow youth, the smarter I thought I was. In contrast, as the years have passed and the more I actually have learned, the more convinced I am of how little I know. Along these same lines of thought, it would seem to many, when dealing with teenagers as an adult, they listen the least when it would benefit them the most; and in turn, talk the most when it benefits them the least. Each generation of teenagers seems to feel its generation is unique, and even superior, in its experiences and perceptions. Especially in this age of incredible technology, on many levels this may be true. However, on a developmental level, wisdom can only be acquired through the rigors of experience and time. This paper will detail an interview I had with one such teenager, a sixteen-year-old male named Dylan. This interview’s focus was to garner some thoughts, perceptions, and feelings about some of his experiences, both past and present, as well as some insight into his future. I will supplement Dylan’s relayed information from this interview with some comparisons and perceptions of my own in relation to my remembered years of teenage life. Dylan Dylan is a sixteen-year-old Caucasian blond-haired, blue-eyed boy, whose broad shoulders and well-defined muscularity is candid in its declaration of many hours in...

...Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is viewed by many as one of the greatest presidents in the nation’s history. Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a one-room log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky. His parents, Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, and only sister, Sarah, played a small role in the early parts of his life. Abraham Lincoln’s father was an illiterate farmer and carpenter who moved the family from rural Kentucky to Indiana when Abraham Lincoln was seven years old. His mother, Nancy Hanks, died when he was only nine years old. Abraham’s father later remarried Sarah Bush Johnston, who provided Abraham with more affection and guidance than his birth mother or his father ever did. Most of his teenage years...

...“In a closed society where everybody is guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.” Introduction In two lines, Hunter S. Thompson deftly captures the end of conscionable conduct and the utter neglect for the sanctity of fundamental facilities of society. But hope remains. Ouxtent to which morality can, if at all, be compromised for other competing ends. amples over individual rights in its aggregating of preferences and satisfaction. As Robert Nozick writes, unlike individuals, social entities cannot be made to make sacrifices for greater benefit or avoid harm by utilizing individuals for the benefit of others. This act disregards the fact that individuals are separate entities, and “his life is the only life he has.” The legislating of morality would be incompatible with the staunch libertarian stand that disallows such laws, which in their view are coercive and an affront to freedom and self-ownership. To the libertarian, only a minimal state – that enforces contracts and keeps the peace would be permissible. Legislating morality brings up another issue of whose morals do we take as the benchmark to be applied universally to the governed. Would such a law also inflict someone else’s moral will upon me? The Kantian doctrine answers this question. Kant depends on the idea that humans are rational beings, capable of acting freely. According to Kant, acting freely is to be autonomous, abiding by laws we give...

...twentieth-century American poetry. Ariel is one of her late poems which marks her maturity in poetry and is of great importance to the study of her works. Through interpretation of Ariel, we can learn her psychological struggle which stems from the conflicts of the duality in identity. Key Words: Sylvia Plath, poetess, identity, craziness The poem Ariel is the title poem in the posthumous poem collection of the same name of the American Poetess, Sylvia Plath who plays a remarkable role in mid-twentieth American poetry, especially in the movement of Confessional Poetry. As a woman writer, Plath was always in conflict of her two identity -- a woman as a docile and domestic housewife, mother or daughter and on the other side a writer of independence and free mind. She was forever struggling all her life which she ended at the age of 31. Her suicide, which is often related to her disastrous marriage with English laurel poet Ted Hughes, alongside with her identity as a woman poet drew much public attention right after her death and has remained a contested topic until today. Her poems has been constantly reprinted in the UK and USA as well as in numerous translated versions. She is widely “recognized as one of the leading figures in twentieth-century Anglo-American literature and culture”.1 Her late poems which are often connected by critics with her struggle of identity and her suffering from failed marriage, blossom with maturity swelling with ambience of death, darkness, violence...

...Abortion: A Never Ending Controversy Approximately 205 million abortions occur each year worldwide. Over a third are unintended and about a fifth end in abortion. What is abortion? Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus prior to viability. In other words, it is when a mother decides she doesn’t want to go through with her pregnancy. Abortion in today’s society has become very political. You are either pro-choice, pro-life, and there doesn’t seem to be a happy medium. As we look at abortion and research its history, should it remain legal in the United States, or should it be outlawed, we must consider both points of views. November 14, 1979, with the temperature outside at fifteen degrees, a two pound baby girl was found in a field wrapped up in a wet, dirty, old shirt. The umbilical cord was still attached, and the baby had been aborted twelve weeks prematurely. With little chance of survival, the baby was taken to a medical center. The little girl survived surgery and other efforts to save her. The baby was later adopted by Susan Morrison, one of the nurses who attended to her. The baby was named Christelle, and now she and her mother talk to thousands of people about abortion and the pro-life movement. There are 1,600,000 other abortion stories every year in the United States. “Abortion is the termination of pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by death of the embryo or fetus. Because...

...The year is 1959, a pivotal moment in American cultural history, when rock and roll was giving birth to the Sexual Revolution and everything in America culture was about to be turned upside down. Record companies were releasing more than a hundred singles every week and the country was about to explode. Grease, generally considered a trivial little musical about The Fabulous Fifties, is really the story of America’s tumultuous crossing over from the 50s to the 60s, throwing over repression and tradition for freedom and adventure (and a generous helping of cultural chaos), a time when the styles and culture of the disengaged and disenfranchised became overpowering symbols of teenage power and autonomy. Originally a rowdy, dangerous, over-sexed, and insightful piece of alternative theatre, Grease was inspired by the rule-busting success of Hair and shows like it, rejecting the trappings of other Broadway musicals for a more authentic, more visceral, more radical theatre experience that revealed great cultural truths about America. An experience largely forgotten by most productions of the show today. Like Hair before it and The Rocky Horror Show which would come a year later, Grease is a show about repression versus freedom in American sexuality, about the clumsy, tentative, but clearly emerging sexual freedom of the late 1950s, seen through the lens of the middle of the Sexual Revolution in the 1970s. It’s about the near carnal passion 1950s teenagers felt for their rock...

...is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.[12] The geography and climate of the United States is also extremely diverse, and it is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Paleo-indians migrated from Asia to what is now the US mainland around 15,000 years ago,[13] with European colonization beginning in the 16th century. The United States emerged from 13 British colonies located along the Atlantic seaboard. Disputes between Great Britain and these colonies led to the American Revolution. On July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies unanimously issued the Declaration of Independence. The ensuing war ended in 1783 with the recognition of independence of the United States from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and was the first successful war of independence against a European colonial empire.[14][15] The current Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. The first 10 amendments, collectively named the Bill of Rights, were ratified in 1791 and guarantee many fundamental civil rights and...

...Quazi Tasnim Hasan ID # 112 111 051 Assignment No. 4 What is economic integration? For the Last 65 years, the world has undergone significant changes. The decade of the 1970s was dominated by the two energy crises. Industrial economies were faced with a new “enemy”: stagflation—a combination of high inflation and unemployment. Developing countries were increasingly becoming more dependent on foreign borrowing and centrally planned economies were unable to secure economic growth. Furthermore, the world witnessed a radical transformation during the past two decades. The greatest economic experiment of the twentieth century was the movement from communism to a market economy, which began in Mikhail Gorbachev’s Russia in the mid-1980s, and then spread to Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 1990s and to China later on during the same decade. Although the transition to a free market has led to disappointing outcomes, most Eastern Europe countries have concentrated on integrating their economies with Europe and on becoming part of the EU. All these events led to the world becoming more and more global in nature and to defining globalization as a closer economic integration among nations through increased trade and capital flows. It also refers to labor movement and technology transfer across international borders as well as cultural and political issues, which are beyond the scope of this chapter. Globalization is the result of technological processes occurring mainly in the...

...Essay on Facebook Posted by admin as Example papers Social Networking Sites like Facebook Made the World a Better Place Appearing on the world stage in 2003, Facebook has revolutionized the average person’s social network into an unprecedented web of information available in the palm of a hand. With just a few clicks or taps on one’s mobile app, one can meet people, see friends from high school and even make contacts with potential business interests. Unfortunately, social networking sites like Facebook have not made the world a better place because it is a waste of time for the user. As time is important to people, it can be better spent doing productive things, beneficial for one’s life. As the old adage goes, time is of the essence, and if it is not used wisely, the consequences are never good. Social networks have become more than just connections with people, they have accumulated add-ons like Farmville, Mafia Wars and other games in order to keep users entertained. In these games, the user plays for virtual money, often spending many hours each day building farms and collecting sheep and other animals. With millions of users signed-up for such add-ons, it is not hard to deduce that they are wasting millions of hours each day decorating farms and collecting garden tools. It is, however, true that if used right, the site can connect users with people of same interests, thus building a name for a person, if s/he is a writer for example. Nevertheless, a few possible connections...
