...learning. With advances in technology, people are interconnected on a global level. This capability to communicate over vast distances has enabled educational institutions across the world to offer what was once thought impossible… A college degree earned by way of online learning. This unprecedented offering would now offer an educational opportunity to adults who were previously unable to find the time or the necessary resources needed to complete a resident degree plan. However, with the dawning of online education came the realization that the subject matter and workload of traditional curriculums would have to be altered to suit online learning. In addition, online students would experience both the benefits and difficulties presented by this new and unique atmosphere. In today’s society, a college degree is more common than ever before. In fact, in 1982, only 58.3% of High school graduates attended college right after graduating. Today, more than 79% of high school graduates continue on to attend college. (http://www.besteducationdegrees.com/, n.d.). A major contributing factor to this jump is the availability of higher education by way of community colleges, on-line learning, and other distance learning methods. Adults who desire a college degree no longer have to worry about putting their lives on hold in order to do so. In fact, with the on-line tools and resources offered, it is now common place for many to continue with their day to day lives all while attending college...

...expressing why they act the way they do. One character that stood out the most was of course the narrator and long-term patient in a psychiatric ward, Chief Bromden. In J. D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” the narrator and young teen Holden Caulfield is also someone who sticks out to readers as someone who wants us to figure him out. Throughout both novels we as readers get the opportunity to learn more about who Chief Bromden and Holden are and what makes them similar and different to each other. Kesey introduces us to Chief Bromden and takes us through his journey and his idea of what society and life is like through his mind and his crazy world. Because he is the narrator we know more about him than any of the characters do. We know that he pretends to be deaf and mute when he says “They don’t bother not talking out loud about their hate secrets when I’m nearby because they think I’m deaf and dumb....

...Introduction Every one is going crazy over Facebook and Twitter these days. You may have created an account on one of these websites many months back. Every body is familiar in these social networking websites. The researcher does intend to show and explore how young people use them to communicate, share and show off their identities.

...the Shift to the Next-Generation Enterprise (a multi-part series) Future of Work Enabler: Virtual Collaboration Cloud-powered social and mobile tools can help break down traditional hierarchies and enable employees across disciplines to easily locate and share business-critical insights with experts inside and outside the organization’s four walls. This report is an installment in our multi-part series that explores the shifts necessary for future-proofing your company. | FUTURE OF WORK ation Executive Summary In today’s knowledge economy, virtual teams are the norm. With expertise distributed around the world, teams “swarm” to complete a task and depart when finished. Knowledge work is not performed in linear, production-line fashion; it involves idea-sharing, iterative discussions and real-time modifications. In traditional business, change was first agreed upon, then planned and executed. But in today’s world, change happens organically, thanks to the interconnectedness afforded by social networks and the Web, otherwise known as “wirearchy.”1 Roles and responsibilities — once carved into the org chart — are fluid and ever-changing. The most valuable contributor to a project may turn out to be someone you don’t even know. Leaders aren’t appointed or anointed by management; they’re recognized by the community based on the perceived strength of their contributions. Leadership is dynamic and changes during the lifetime of a project; the way forward is often determined...

...directives for human behavior as much as a code of ethics that, like the 10 commandments of Judaism in what was a new text-based age, help us navigate a new age of computer mediation and abstraction. Digital technologies continue to increase the capabilities of mankind. These technologies, however, come with biases. If we aren’t aware of these biases, we’ll find ourselves at the mercy of the technology designed to serve us. While there’s still time, we must take matters into our own hands and learn to program! Rushkoff, Douglas, dir. Program or Be Programmed. 2010. Film. 31 Jan 2013 2 RUSHKOFF’S PRINCIPLE OF: I. TIME DO NOT BE “ALWAYS ON”. We live in a world dictated by time. However, to our digital devices, time is an unknown concept. This situation has caused us to become more concerned with the newest information rather than the most relevant. In order to remain effective, efficient humans, we must apply the concept of time to our digital devices. We hold the power to decide when we interact digitally. Being conscious of this notion will result in the quality and effectiveness of the information we produce and...

...Take a look at your life and see how many I Am’s it would benefit you to replace? Use what you desire to become, and not the limiting thoughts, which you may have been imprisoning your self in. Tip: You could review and then write down all the similar statements you make. Then in that list, cross out the ones that don’t empower, writing next to them the opposite of your previous disempowering commands. Then take time to work to change your habitual thoughts and automatic programs to match and grow your new desired realities.

Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” -- Rumi When the cleansing tears have slowed,...

...describe this concept may help students discover how each and every one of them, with their individual and diverse home cultures, impact where we live. Especially important is for students to know the strengths, beauty, and gifts of the indigenous people of Hawai‘i, appreciating all that Hawaiian culture has to offer. The traditional historical concept of the ahupua‘a (traditional native Hawaiian land division stretching from the high mountain watershed downward to the shoreline and out to the deep sea beyond the reef) provided not only a philosophical basis for managing and sustaining Hawai‘i in the days of old, but remains relevant in our present and future with regard to preserving and sustaining resources for survival. Students need to understand their relationship and responsibilities congruent with shifting patterns, policies and practices that will influence how local culture continues to develop into the future. Facilitating civic dialogue is crucial to nurturing students’ realization and understanding that they have a voice that can impact change, and that it does matter whether or not they use it. As students explore the myriad of issues impacting both our local and global communities, they have the opportunity to identify areas of personal interest and importance. This personal connection can empower and influence student engagement in civic action, whether focused on local or global communities. Discovering their voices can provide profound experiences for students...

...therapy is used to help people in counseling live better, stress free lives by exploring themselves and learning to live an authentic life. This model is effective when the therapist is authentic themselves and are genuine about helping others, which builds a positive relationship between the therapist and the client. This kind of model allows the client to open up and gives them the ability to explore themselves; past, present, and future. Existential therapy allows the client to understand that their lives are a direct response from the choices that they make in their lives. The therapist also gives the client tools to help change the new found negative behaviors. And although change is sometimes hard to adapt to, with the proper tools from the therapist and motivation from the client, the correct path to an authentic live can began and goals achieved. Existential therapy recognizes the problems of the human condition and existence while at the same time emphasizing human beings' great potential and freedom to respond constructively to these challenges. It helps individuals who choose depression as a response to existential difficulties to break this negative pattern ("Ehow.com", 2013). Existential Model of Helping From my viewpoint, I feel that the existential approach to counseling model of helping is very effective. I have formed this viewpoint because the existential approach characterizes human beings as creatures of continual change and transformation, living their lives...

...information, from historical facts to secrets about others– all without leaving the comfort of your own home. A technology now exists which enables a person to lead many secret lives, broadcast their opinions, beliefs, and most intimate thoughts, not to mention their physical features, to an unbelievably wide audience. For the first time in human history, a technology exists that gives us the ability to do so; society knows this technology as the Internet (Siegel, 2009). Many individuals may argue that the Internet providing such convenience and mediums for connectivity to society is a blessing. A different perspective is seen in the book, “Against the Machine: How the Web Is Reshaping Culture and Commerce and Why It Matters.” Author Lee Siegel argues that the Internet is “obscurely a curse” (Siegel, 2009) in that “more and more people are able to live in a more comfortable and complete self-enclosure than ever before (Siegel, 2009).” This paper argues that the Internet is both a blessing and a curse with regards to Siegel’s aforementioned statement. The argument will be supported through the notions that: the Internet creating a global network society versus the digital divide, through the customization of information and through a shared sense of community, and elimination of diversity. Global Network Society vs. Digital Divide The Internet has given society the ability to connect with people over substantial geographical boundaries. However, the areas that are deprived...
