...that I would agree most with the psychodynamic viewpoint as well as the sociocultural viewpoint. I had difficulty in choosing only viewpoint when the causal factors can be extremely vague when it comes to substance abuse. I agree with the psychodynamic viewpoint because people who experience a lack of nurturing during early childhood often carry it with them throughout their adult lives if the issue goes unresolved. Substance abuse is not the only disorder that may be caused by childhood trauma. There are a lot of other disorders that can be linked to early childhood experiences as well, which is why I find myself agreeing with this viewpoint. I also would have to agree with the sociocultural viewpoint because society plays an enormous role when it comes to an individual’s behavior and attitude, a person’s environment can definitely have an impact on their decisions in life. People are constantly striving for the approval of others or trying to fit in with their friends, so the sociocultural viewpoint seems perfectly reasonable. Furthermore, I believe that the behavioral/cognitive and biological viewpoints are also important when it comes to understanding the causes of substance abuse. However, I do not find them as influential as the psychodynamic and sociocultural viewpoints. There seems to be a biological basis for almost any disease or disorder, but I feel that there is still a lot to learn about the biological viewpoint of substance abuse. The behavioral/cognitive...

...Personal Ethics Statement There are many ethical viewpoints out there out today, an example can be of the viewpoint of on how the elderly and disable should be treated. I have first hand seen the bad treatment on the elderly and the disable. Some people view them as being weak, and almost useless. This is wrong to have this type of view just because they can't get around like they use to, or see things the way the we ( young adults and youth) see things, don't mean they are any different than we are. But it seem that people don't care. For an example, when I am looking for a parking space I tend to park further away so that the elderly and the disable can have a closer park for themselves. This is what I do, do others do this, I don't know. It really don't seems like no one care if the ones who need a close park or need to park in the handicap should park there. In fact, I see people park in the handicap and look like they either don't need a handicap park, or look like they just took they park even though its not their handicap sticker. This is just one example of ethical viewpoint. When I first saw that I had to write about my blind spots I have, I had to sit and think because I didn't know. As I was thinking, I was that my blind spot was somewhat obvious to myself, I don't like asking for help. I would rather fail an assignment them ask for help. I really need to be more open to get help when I need it, then not being able to succeed I what I need help with. I...

...In times of conflict, gaining an understanding between two parties can still be insufficient to obtain a level of peace, one must also be willing to accept the others viewpoint. Even when the same level of understanding has been accomplished, an individual can still encounter intra-personal conflict as a result. In order to minimise the amount of conflict we encounter, we must first attain a level of understanding of another’s own morals and viewpoints. In times, our own identity can be a productive force that instigates conflict. In Greenville’s novel ‘The lieutenant’ the governor ordered a prisoner to be lashed for the stealing of food in the settlement. Warungin, the native, watched on in interest, yet soon he finds himself standing alone pleading with the governor for the ‘horror of the punishment’ to stop. What is seen as a horrendous brutality in his eyes is considered to be standard practice for the marines of His Majesty’s Service. This level of misunderstanding creates a division between Warungin and The British allowing tension to rise and Inter-personal conflict to occur, because the morals of each party do not agree. This is also demonstrated in the documentary ‘A Kill Team’. Set in the war zone of Afghanistan in a platoon of around 20 U.S soldiers, Sergeant Winfield is confronted with a viewpoint that does not agree with his own standing morals....

...I found this site and want to see what type of information is available. This resource could prove very valuable for future classes. I can also upload documents of my own to help others. I feel these type of resources are invaluable as you go through school. A resource like term paper warehouse seems to have a huge selection. I more interested to see what is available and the topics of papers which are being posted. These and other resources on the web can help bring out ideas or show other viewpoints for topics. I’ve found over the years the more eyes and ears that touch a paper the better it will end up being. A perfect real world example is a writer for a newspaper. The writer files a column which is then looked over by an editor. I don’t know the business but would guess rarely does it go right to print. This process protects both the writer and the newspaper. There are many reasons for this but you get the point. The reason I’m interested in this site is to help me through my master’s program. I’m taking some classes which I’m not strong in. I’m seeing what avenues are out there to help me through this process. One of things I’ve learned in undergrad is never enough learning or resources to find valuable information. I’ve rarely used to resources like this and curious to check out everything it has to offer. I hope to learn and grow through this...

...and professional papers is to inform the public on a specific subject matter. These writings relate directly to a broad spectrum dependent on the edition or publication specifics. Of professional papers, several types can provide a scope of information and credibility toward a purveyance of technical or detailed information. The structure is usually even flowing and organized with particular information segments set out about the constituency of the writing. These papers, intended for publication in special interest journals, enhance the writers research, writing, and documentation capabilities as some of the information, not being his/her own will need to be accredited as if it is not, than plagiarism will be extrapolated. Journals, usually published by or for a particular subject matter or client, are detailed and accurate. There may be a UCLA journal, National Geographic Journal, or even a mechanic’s journal. The particulars of this, geared toward a particular audience and each entry, will usually comprise two titles sharing a general viewpoint for the nonprofessional and an entry specific title for the professional. The purpose of journals is to inform a group or individual of the credible elements related to a curriculum or scientific, professional, or academic scope. The writings or information in a journal may be composed of professional papers but the opposite is not the same. When a professional is composing a scientific paper, there are parameters...

Don't try to game the profession, work on what interests you. Good papers in economics have three characteristics: o A viewpoint. o A lever. o A result. Utpal Bhattacharya’s Views on What Constitutes a Good Paper in Financial Economics For me, a good paper in financial economics is really an essay that exposits an opinion that is substantiated with evidence. I look for five things: 1) The Research Question. Is it interesting and important? New question? Old question with no previous clear answers? Whether the research question is interesting and important is determined with respect to the literature (more objective judgment) and with respect to economic events around you (less objective judgment.) 2) The Research Design. Are the tests or the models relevant to the ...

...Packages limited Packages Limited was established in 1957 as a joint venture between the Ali Group of Pakistan and Akerlund & Rausing of Sweden, to convert paper and paperboard into packaging for consumer industry. Over the years, Packages has continued to enhance its facilities to meet the growing demand of packaging products. In 1968, with IFC participation, Packages integrated upstream by establishing a Pulp and Paper Mill with a capacity of 24,000 tons per year based on waste paper and agricultural by-products i.e. wheat straw and river grass. With growing demand the capacity was increased periodically and in January 2003, total capacity was nearly 100,000 tons per year. In 1982, Packages modified a paper machine to produce tissue paper in response to growing awareness and demand for hygienic and disposable tissues. The “Rose Petal” brand name was launched with facial tissues and was later expanded to include toilet paper, kitchen roll, and table napkins. In 1986, the Company established a flexible packaging unit to cater to the increasing demand from consumers for sophisticated packaging used primarily in the food industry. In 1993, a joint venture agreement was signed with Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan for the manufacture of Polypropylene films at the Industrial Estate in Hattar, KPK. This project, Tri-Pack Films Limited, commenced production in June 1995 with equity participation by Packages Limited, Mitsubishi Corporation, Altawfeek ...

...It was the crinkling sound again; this time the squirrel was much closer to the peanut bag lying next to my window. I tried shooing it away, but it wasn’t scared anymore. I opened the window and the window’s creaking sound scared the squirrel away. Although it looked totally scared, it was still roaming around the window as if it were bored to tears. Seeing this, a stroke of happiness rushed through my face and I knew I had found what I was looking for: boredom in animals, the topic that this paper focuses on. The study of animal boredom has now become a wide area of scientific research. Until recently, the dominant belief was that the study of boredom could not be attached to any natural sciences since animal boredom could not be experimentally...

...allowed me to connect with the artist and understand his viewpoint. Since it captured my attention, I was able to quickly pick out what parts I planned to write about. My other strength was that I could easily go in depth with the explanations once I established the basis of my essay. This episode contained aspects of art that I loved; so, I was able to simply formulate in depth explanations. Although these strengths were a major asset to my essay, I have some weaknesses that affected my essay in a negative way. My major weakness is that I usually write how I talk. I began writing with no clear thoughts which consisted of sticking a lot of unnecessary words and using poor vocabulary while trying to put my thoughts on paper. Another thing that I had a major problem with was trying to make all my thoughts come together. In previous English classes, I was always taught to make an outline or get a rough idea of what I was writing about and then start writing it; however, for this essay it was completely different. Usually I would start writing an essay from beginning to end. I have never written an essay in this order, and it was a new way of thinking that I was not accustomed to. This caused me the most problems because I had limited time to adjust to this writing style. Writing it out of order caused me many more complications than I would normally have; therefore, it took me longer than expected to get my words down on paper and make them all flow. Because these weaknesses hurt my...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...

...How to Write a Good Academic Paper? That is a question which most students ask and most of them are new to academic writing. Academic writing if taken as a whole, then it would help you figure its significance and what is more important is, it would help you understand the purpose of it. Any good academic writer’s quality is his/her mind is loaded with creative set of ideas that help him navigate through the whole topic of academic paper. Ideas lead you to somewhere and only a few good students are gifted by nature and if you are not then you can also build up a good rhythm of academic writing. Secondly, you should also have a good sense of your audience; you should know what element of your academic writing would entice them and also create some space for your write-up for reading in their schedule. You then research for resources and data that would be of great use to enlighten your readers. Knowing what you audience wants, should be in your priority because readers enjoy what they seek in your writing. Usually what they look out for is something that could either bring them a smile or get them to think over the subject. Having creative ideas doesn’t guarantee a good and well-researched academic writing. You need to able to figure out ways of putting your research in a proper format so that readers don’t feel deviated from the focal point of your write-up. You should use your sources with proper attentiveness else it would completely ruin your efforts from top to bottom....
