451: Censorship Threatens Freedom of Speech
... when did it get out of control? No one can answer. Censorship of books and television programs is a ongoing crusade, but when violence is seen on the streets, and at homes it is useless.

Having discussed model programs for educating gifted and talented children the research literature leads us to the impact that being gifted or talented has on both the socio-emotional development and the academic grades attained by gifted and talented children. Acceleration has arguments raised both for and against ... and no discernible negative effects of various accelerative strategies were found (p. 105). From the evidence presented, one would presume that acceleration causes no negative effects to both academic results and to socio-emotional adjustment. Literature presented by further researchers suggests otherwise.

457: The Color Purple - Compared To Macbeth
... achievement; however, it may also be measured by strength of character, and in this realm humans may often fall short. Weakness of character, shown through various character flaws, causes most of the hardships in life. Literature such as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Alison Walker's The Color Purple contain three levels of characters: setting characters, secondary characters and the main character. Combined, these three all contribute character flaws which leads to the novel or play's ultimate tragedy. The setting character appears in the beginning of a piece of literature to give one a feel and sense of how the piece will reach out to the reader. King Duncan sets the atmosphere in Macbeth when we see different characters take advantage of his character flaw ... flaws. Humans continuously attempt to reach perfection in many different areas; the fact that perfection of character is rarely achieved may be unfortunate for humans, but results in a rich field of human drama that literature such as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Alison Walker's The Color Purple draw upon to exceptional effect.
458: Narcissism: Psychological Theories and Therapeutic Interventions in the Narcissistic Disorders
... Jungian (analytical) perspective. Essentially, both theories cite developmental problems in childhood as leading to the development of the narcissistic disorder.

The Preferred Psychodynamic model The Psychodynamic literature in general tends to lean towards the object relations school because of the emphasis it places on a comprehensive developmental explanation (i.e. the use of Mahler"s individuation-separation model). Nevertheless, the theory of Kohut has left a deep impression on Psychodynamic thinking as is evident by the utilization of many of his concepts in the literature (i.e. Johnson, 1987; Manfield, 1992; and Masterson, 1981). Therefore in the remainder of the Psychodynamic section a similar approach will be taken, by emphasizing object relations concepts with the utilization of the occasional ...

460: Grapes Of Wrath - Censorship
... Censorship does have its place in society. There are many things that are too risqué, degrading, and should not be shown. Pornography, extreme sexual content, and extreme gratuitous violence does not have its place in literature or in society. The Grapes of Wrath does not have any of these above aspects. Of those who choose to ban this book and other works of literature with questionable themes, many of them are wrapped up in political correctness.
