...Policy is created by the government for the public in response to a problem or need involving a group of people or a particular population. Normally, a policy should generate a solution to the problem, in which the public and the government would benefit simultaneously. Though, one can only allude to the government benefiting more than the American people; and as a result, people’s reaction to this has dampened their beliefs on the ‘American Dream’ of liberty, security, and equality. In spite of this, are these problems curable? Do we know the root cause of the problems? If so, the solution to fix it is simple, right? Or has the government purposely not defined the root cause of the problem in order to have a certain group of people dependent...

...These words rung true in the life of Eunice Richardson Stone Connolly’s life; the evidence of her faith led her to uncharted waters. Martha Hodes, a history professor at New York University, devised the biography of Eunice Connolly’s life from 500 old family letters. Through Eunice’s life, one thing held precedence over her life: her faith. To begin with, the problems that Eunice experienced started at a young age and lead her to an unshakable faith. Eunice’s father and mother owned a small New England farm which brought in very little money (Hodes). Luther Richardson Sr. could not supply for his family, which became the reason that the Richardson’s moved to Manchester in 1945. Nothing changed in Mr. Richardson’s actions; in fact they only got worse (Hodes). In the 1947, Mr. Richardson left his wife Lois and their seven children for a woman of a lower class. During this trying time, the family never wavered from their Congressionalist beliefs and their Puritan background (Hodes). The reason why the beliefs of the Richardson family held precedence over the rest of their daily lives had to do with their ancestors being part of the Puritan settlements (Hodes). The Richardson family held tight to their Congregationalist roots which may have some reason why when Eunice married William Stone at the age of seventeen small problems presented their selves. Once Eunice married Stone, she took up the beliefs of his family. The Stones’ held tight to a Universalist belief which meant that...

...Throughout history, we have seen how groupthink has effected the actions of many. Groupthink occurs when a decision is made by a group of people because they are pressured into believing that something is morally correct. Groupthink causes many to believe there are no alternative solutions in certain situation causing them to act in a certain way. It is most effective when a group has little or no outside influences on it and when the members of the group have similar backgrounds. Groupthink has a great number of symptoms, this include symptoms such as illusion of invulnerability, collective rationalization, belief in inherent morality, stereotyped views of out-groups, first pressure on dissenters, self-censorship and illusion of unanimity...

...The remarkable monumental stones also know, as the megaliths have been architecture by Neolithic builders. These big stones are located in the Northern Europe, and collectively are estimated about one hundred upright stones placed in a circular position. This unique architecture structure is famously known as Stonehenge. Researchers have estimated the Stonehenge to be built around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. By exploring the monumental stones it has intrigued myself to know who built Stonehenge, the construction of Stonehenge, the purpose of its creation, and Stonehenge as of today. By researching these topics we will have a better understanding the meaning Stonehenge. Many historians and archaeologists have came to an agreement that there were several tribes of people that participated to construct Stonehenge. It was first believed that Neolithic agrarians were inherent by the British Isles. But than later, to believe a group of more advance tools and a cooperative way of marking their presence on the land was...

Jackson and Le Guin show how people are selfish, and they care only for themselves, but they also demonstrate how traditions are affecting people’s lives.

...1 Samuel 007:012 Samuel then took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Jeshanah and named it Ebenezer (meaning, "the Stone of Help"), for he said, "The Lord has certainly helped us!" 1 Samuel 7:12 The church has many markers to show God''s goodness Have you ever received an award? Was the award a special plaque or a trophy? Perhaps it was a certificate or some other token of recognition. The purpose of an award is to recognize and to praise persons or groups that have made noteworthy accomplishments and contributions. They generally contain the name of the honoree, a description of the deed accomplished, a date, and the name of the presenters. Recognition of some accomplishments may get bigger than a mere plaque or certificate. Statues, busts and memorials are erected around the world to note the lifetime contributions of those who distinguished themselves in the course of time or to note the site of an historic event. Whether a small certificate or a towering obelisk, awards have a way of recognizing and marking important moments in time. Tributes usually follow a significant accomplishment. Often those receiving the tribute feel undeserving and are puzzled at the praise they receive from others. We know how to recognize people for their accomplishments, but how do we recognize God when he has helped us? That was the question that puzzled David in Psalm 116:12 when he asked "What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?" David concluded that...

...to complete. Learning the uses and purposes of technology will give one a better understanding of why technology is important. Technology makes life in today’s society much more convenient and expedient. The fact that technology is used by almost everyone is extraordinary. It makes sense to explore this topic further and learn more about what is inevitably going to change your life. Technology: What is it? Technology is the term that is sometimes used to include all the skills and tools people acquire for their convenience in their lives. The United Nations Education, Social and Cultural Organization, defines technology as: "The know-how and creative processes that may assist people to utilize tools, resources and systems to solve problems and to enhance control over the natural and man made environment in an endeavor to improve the human condition." (UNESCO, 1985). In ancient times, technology was defined by Homer and Hesiod as the spoken word of manual craft or cunning skill. By 330 BC, Aristotle created the Greek term technologia and split scientific knowledge into three parts: theoretical science, practical science, and productive science (Backer, 2005). Technology advancements started to take place in 8000 b.c. How is technology important? Technology is definitely one of the most important aspects of today’s society. Technology is almost an absolute must for most people. Technology has become very popular because of the convenience and easiness that it imposes in one’s...

...Your own emotions are as detrimental to you as those you sense in others" Juliette nodded numbly. "You are not here to despair. You are here primarily because the vulcan mind normally produces very little emotion to stimulate the portions of your brain that could be damaged sensing emotion. At the same time, telepathy among vulcans is not uncommon. Your parents sent you here to heal, Juliette Sri, and perhaps find a way to manage your condition. Emotions nearly destroyed the Vulcan people, and only through their mastery -- within and without -- were we able to survive. We believe there is a chance that you can make the same journey." Juliette shook her head, then asked, "Am I to live as a vulcan from now on?" Surot shook his head. "You cannot. You are not a vulcan. You will never attain Kolinihar. You can no more live as a vulcan than the bird can become a stone. The bird cannot weather the elements like a stone, and the stone cannot sing like the...

...An essay of - The Stone Boy by Gina Berriault. In some communities things stay in the same repetition as it always has done, and they do not follow the development of society. Their behaviour and their way of thinking are old and out-dated. In this particularly society the priorities are to live an easy quite life, and they are not interested in learning about the world outside their fields. They have to go to school, get a job, get married and then start a family of their own and in South America this is a typical way of living. In “The Stone Boy” by Gina Berriault from 1957 you hear how people react on changes and how people develop from them. It is told by a 3. person narrator, and therefor it is an omniscient narrator. The structure is chronically, which means that It does not jump in time. The story takes place in the 1950s where the family lives on the countryside outside the city Corinth, Mississippi. They are old fashioned and to survive they have to live of their land. They hunt and collect food in the nature. Arnold is a 9 years old boy, who lives with his parents, his sister Nora, and his brother Eugene who is 15 years old. The brothers share a room, and it looks like Arnold likes and looks up to Eugene as you can se here: To dispel emphatically his uneasy advantage over his sleeping brother, he threw himself on the hump of Eugie's body”. Arnold and Eugene woke up early in the morning and went picking peas. Arnold brought the riffle he got from his father...

Ethics Paper: Individual or Group Therapy When seeking help, it is very difficult to decide what type of therapy to choose. Because we have different situations and problems, the decision to choose individual or group therapy could be a very hard one. Many clients choose to benefit from both individual and group therapy. Groups can be a valuable resource to clients and helping them work out their thoughts and feelings in a setting with people that may be going through similar situations (Lawrence and Kurplus 2000). Group can allow clients to gain feedback from other people, and allow them to listen to other people who have some of the same feelings and concerns that they may have (Lawrence and Kurplus 2000). Adolescents can benefit more from group counseling than individual...

...cycle of life. We’re born, we live, we grow old, and we die. Where we go after that remains a mystery. Everyone has a fear of dying, since nobody know what happens, people often wonder where your go. Death is a recurring theme in life and in all forms of literature. Since this theme has become so popular, many different works of literature have been created from short stories to poems. As an effort to help society cope with the inevitable event of death, many stories were created showing a softer more serene side to death. The poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickens, and allegory “I Used to Live Here Once”, by Jean Rhys both share an overall theme of death. There are also other themes such as acceptance, and journey. Although the story told by Rhys, ends very intensely, with the character realizing she has died. Both works still have the same theme. These two pieces of literature, share similar themes which are conveyed in different yet unique ways. Both works are told. To understand the work I will briefly describe who the authors are and about their background. Jean Rhys was born in a place in Dominica known as Rousseau, in 1890. Jean Rhys, not her name at birth was actually born Ella Gwendolyn Rees Williams until she changed it around 1924. Her father was from Britain and her mother was creole. Her great-grandfather, a slave owner owned a plantation in the Dominican Republic. She grew up predominantly around black people until she left to attend school...

Q: Excuse me for the interruption. Then what about the one saying “God is filling me” and the last sentence “a monster of sorts, takes it all in-- all in comes the fury of love”? E: YES! That’s it. She was feeling death coming closer to her, she wanted to accept the fact. And she had her own belief in God so she wished her big heart could have taken all the pain and lost, to accept all the sadness and pressure, either for living or dying. But it was still hard, since she emphasized “I promised it is very large, a monster of sorts”. She was describing it as a monster, a tired, mindless monster that just want to eat all the pressure but it seemed like her heart was still not big enough. She was having too much suffering. Q: Thank you for your time! E: No problem my heart is big enough (laughing) I just want to mention, don’t ignore the valuable little things in your life. Some day they all come together and that can be a very powerful spirits that help you get through a hard time. So you can have a heart that’s big enough for all the pressure we face in life.
