...what dangers lay ahead. In the years of 1607-1611, the English colony of Jamestown was a despairing place. Without proper provisions or occupations, most of the settlers there died. The leader of the colony, John Smith, insisted they persevered and kept going. When they first got to the settlement, the settlers thought they were going to find great riches. After a few weeks, it was evident that there was no gold to be easily found. The Powhatan tribe surrounding the settlements were angered when white men tried to trade with them and, attacked the settlements often. Because of Indian attacks and disease, 80 percent of all the colonists that arrived had died. There were many problems which contributed...

...region in the early 17th century, the English settlers faced several challenges with the Indians that inhabited the land. Having little knowledge of the land they were now in, the English battled a variety of difficulties to survive with little resources to combat hardships. Among the numerous challenges that the English faced was the predominate issues of sustaining peace with the Indians. This challenge distinctively presents itself through two separate Indian leaders: Powhatan in the Chesapeake region and Metacom in New England. When comparing the two regions and the existing relationships between the English and the Indians, it becomes evident that power, communication, and conduct played a significant role in whether the territory would see bloodshed or peace....

...John Maynard Keynes He was a famous economist born on 5th June 1883. His father was an economics professor at Cambridge. son of a Cambridge economics professor If ever there was a rock star of economics, it would be John Maynard Keynes. Keynes shares his birthday, June 5th, with Adam Smith and he was born in 1883, the year communist founder Karl Marx died. With these auspicious signs, Keynes seemed to be destined to become a powerful free market force when the world was facing a serious choice between communism or capitalism. Instead, he offered a third way, which turned the world of economics upside down. In this article, we'll examine Keynes' doctrine and its impact. (To read about Adam Smith, be sure to check out Adam Smith: The Father Of Economics.) Keynes was ultimately a successful investor, building up a private fortune. His assets were nearly wiped out following the Stock Market Crash of 1929, which he failed to foresee, but he soon recouped. At Keynes's death, in 1946, his worth stood just short of £500,000 – equivalent to about £11 million ($16.5 million) in 2009. His first prediction was a critique of the reparation payments that were levied against the defeated Germany after WWI. Keynes rightly pointed out that having to pay out the cost of the entire war would force Germany into hyperinflation and have negative consequences all over Europe. He followed this up by predicting that a return to the prewar fixed exchange rate sought by the chancellor of the exchequer...

Consequently, her famous nickname “Pocahontas” was born because she liked to play all day and suddenly her father called her as “playful one”.

...Evaluating Psychodynamic psychotherapy Posted March 10, 2006 by Yousif Al Saif • Updated March 13, 2006 Sigmund Freud is one of the founding fathers of modern psychology. He started his work in psychiatry after finishing his medical training in Vienna. He was taught in Paris by one of the most influential psychiatrist in his time Charcot. Charcot tackled hysteria by using hypnosis as a treatment technique. Freud, however, thought that hypnosis is not an effective treatment approach to hysteria and decided to pursue another approach. He later adopted a method of treatment called "free association" where the client says whatever comes to his/her mind and used the resulting stream of strong conscious emotions as a helpful way to his patients (McLeod, 1998). Freud also used dream analysis as a way to enter the subconscious and unveil the suppressed thoughts and memories of patients (Freud, 1900). He also noted key psychotherapeutic phenomenons such as the client-therapist’s “transference” and “counter-transference” and the client’s “resistance”. Freud theories went through considerable modification by the neo-Freudians such as Carl Jung, Otto Rank, and Alfred Adler. Now some psychotherapists base their work broadly on Freud’s work but mainly on neo-Freudians which is called the psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. The psychodynamic approach gives great importance to childhood experiences and believes that the client’s psychological problems are a direct result of these experiences...

...“I want paint to work as flesh.”-Lucian Freud Lucian Freud born into a famous family, was the grandson of the psychologist Sigmund Freud. Freud’s family moved to England soon after Hitler took over, for they saw the problems that could have been heading their way. Almost all of the portraits that Freud painted not only showed the story of who he was painting, but also showed his own story and emotions. Unlike most artists, Freud did not usually work for commission but rather because he had a desire for it. Freud stayed in England until the day of his death on July 20th, 2011.

...The Fist of Justice: Why Force is Used The question of why police may or may not use force in a particular encounter is difficult to answer. A number of scholars have attempted to answer this question explicitly and have theorized a number of different explanations to answer this question. The question of why police decide to use force, may be harder to answer than originally anticipated because of the gap that exists between theoretical versus practical police work, coupled with the vast differences in environmental factors. Currently, the answers remain convoluted at best. The purpose of this document is to shed light on research that has been previously completed in regards to trying to better answer the question of why law enforcement...

...Bible Among the Myths Malcom College English 093 Ms. Smith 01/23/2012 Introduction The book is an analysis of the Biblical view of the world and compares it other works in the Ancient Near East of that time with the development of the Bible. This is done by an in-depth analysis of the underlying beliefs inherent in mythology and the Biblical text. Of primary significance is the author's portrayal of the Biblical insistence on monotheism and divine transcendence compared to the polytheistic underpinnings of mythology. The author compares the ethically based Biblical view of the divine/human relationship with the ritualistic and magical view of that relationship found in mythology. With these and other comparisons (and with due consideration given to the various similarities between Israel and her neighbors), the author gives an excellent overview of the subject matter of the thought. In The Bible Among the Myths,Oswalt takes the conversation further by illuminating the fact that Israel's faith couldn’t have simply evolved out of nowhere. Oswalt shows that the surrounding Ancient Near East cultures had a worldview known as Continuity. This view maintained that all things that exist are a part of each other (such as the gods, nature, and humanity), the existence of polytheism, that the gods could be manipulated through nature and natural artifacts(which was the point of idol worship), the significance of magic, the obsession with fertility which led to sexual...

...scientist Francis Fukuyama declared “the end of history.”[1] Despite his language, Fukuyama was not an apocalyptic religious fundamentalist awaiting the rapture, but rather, he saw with the collapse of the Soviet Union the ultimate and final triumph of liberal democracy. Fukuyama draws on Marxist and Hegelian interpretations of the narrative of history as one of progress, in this case with its apex at the liberal democracy best represented by the United States of America. The triumphalism of this context may seem naïve in a post-9/11 world, but it should be seen in its original context of the decades long cold war between the US (and its allies) and the Soviet Union. These two sides came to represent an ideological conflict rather than a purely physical one, between liberal capitalist democracy and authoritarian communism, between free enterprise and central planning. Liberal democracy emerged victorious economically, politically and, Fukuyama would argue, philosophically. However, Fukuyama would be hard pressed to defend his near-eschatological optimism today, and Marxist critic Terry Eagleton has said that “the End of History is at an end.”[2] Rather than the comparatively monolithic opposition it experienced in the 20th Century, today the political dominance of liberal democracy is threatened by a wide variety of challenges, both internal and external, and, in the words of geographer John Agnew, the world has gone “from bipolar to multipolar.”[3] This essay will address the...

...Reflective Essay The aim of this essay is to reflect on an incident, which took place in a hospital setting during the first month of my Foundation Degree Assistant Practitioner course. It will explore the importance of communication amongst the health care professionals and how a good nursing documentation is an integral part of nursing. It will also demonstrate how reflection enabled me to make sense of and learn from this experience, as well as identify any further learning developments needed to improve my practice and achieve the level of competency needed for when I qualify as an assistant practitioner. While discussing the knowledge underpinning practice, evidence based literature will be reviewed to support my discussion and for the purpose of reflection the essay will be written in the first person. Spouse, J, et al (2008). Jonhs, C (2009) defined reflection as learning through our every day experiences, towards realising one’s vision of desirable practice as a lived reality. He also added that it is a critical and a flexible process of self inquiry and transformation of being and becoming the practitioner you desire to be. However, Ghaye, T et al. (2000) stated that for the health care professionals to develop a more reflective posture, they must fully embrace both the principles and the practices of reflection. It is about becoming more aware of how we learn and how this affects what we think, feel and do. There are different models for reflection; some are more...

...Algonkian society was structured in the same way as their own, a patrilineal society with a similar political structure. The Algonkian realized early on that the English played by unfamiliar rules, preparing them for surprises. Conversely, the English expected the native Americans the play by English rules, namely under English rule. Both parties lacked the necessary understanding of each other’s sociopolitical structure, and this led to a disastrous relationship. One key moment that embodies this idea is the English decision to capture Pocahontas. Inspired by Spanish success with kidnapping, The English wanted to disrupt Algonkian society by kidnapping someone in line to inherit the chiefdom, and assumed that this would mean any Powhaton’s offspring. However, the English were mistaken. They assumed that Algonkian...

This is followed by discussing some of the theories that resulted from the empirical research on leadership and their attempts to explain what makes an effective leader. To clarify these concepts examples are provided to some of the theories to illustrate their practical application in the real-world. Introduction Leadership The origins of leadership and its studies are dated back as far as to the beginning of civilisation (Stone & Patterson 2005).

Studies into the meaning for leadership resulted in a number of definitions, Gamage (2006) even claims that attempts to find a precise description for leadership were unsuccessful so far. Is it as...
