- 11451: The Healing Process
- The Healing Process This is a brief psychological overview of the healing process. The image of healing is best described by Gloria Vanderbilt in "A Mother's Story" when she talks of breaking the invisible unbreakable glass bubble which enclosed her that kept her always anticipating loss with echoes of all past losses. She wrote, for example (Page 3),"Some of us ... trance like state of automatic thought and previous habits. Maslow (1991), on the other hand, theorized that inherent in each human is a self-actualizing instinct. This was "not merely a matter of fulfilling one's own particular talents; it also involves actualizing those potentialities that one has as a human being" The key for Maslow in engaging in this process was that of openness. People must be (Page 117) "receptive ... view of these facts and problems is not distorted by wishes, fears, past experiences or prejudices". This freshness of perspective permits spontaneity, creativity which then promotes growth. Growth is perceived as being open to one's self and to others which leads to empathy. Maslow felt that the purpose of therapy with its "unconditional positive regard" was to lead the person to such growth and that the result would be ...
- 11452: Nuclear Power
- Nuclear Power Most of the world's electricity is generated by either thermal or hydroelectric power plants. Thermal power plants use fuel to boil water which makes steam. The steam turns turbines that generate electricity. Hydroelectric power plants use the great force ... into the atmosphere. The cleanest, cheapest, and least polluting power plant of the two types is the hydroelectric power plant. The main reason most countries use thermal versus the hydroelectric is because their countries don't have enough concentrated water to create enough energy to generate electricity. (World Book vol. 14, 586) Nuclear power plants generate only about eleven percent of the world's electricity. There are around 316 nuclear power plants in the world that create 213,000 megawatts of electricity. (INFOPEDIA) Radioactive, or nuclear, waste is the by-product of nuclear fission. Fission occurs when atoms' ...
- 11453: The Rise of Auto Thefts In Charlotte, North Carolina
- ... Charlotte Police Department allowed me to interact with him for two consecutive days. I also interacted with the department head of Non-Emergency Police Services (NEPS). This department initiates a lot of reports for Clayton’s investigations. During this time I learned a lot of information, observed some interesting reports in the making and witnessed an interesting interview with a suspect and then the victim. Within the interaction with this type ... dispatcher then makes an APB. The victim can also call the NEPS. The same process occurs in this way of making a report, only with a few changes. First, after initializing the report, the operator’s computer automatically issues a generate police report number. When they are done making the report, they can send out an APB when they hang up with the victim. The operator must immediately walk over toRecords ... the car back to the owner. This is not considered as a car theft, unlawful use, but not theft. If the owner handed over the keys to the suspect in exchange for drugs, Clayton wouldn’t be as concerned with this action. The drugs are illegal, but only under another department will he be indicted. Clayton likes to deal strictly with the vehicles. At the point where the suspect never ...
- 11454: Lbj
- Lyndon Baines Johnson was born near Johnson City in southwestern Texas on August 27, 1908. He wasn*t born to a rich family, so he attended public schools in Blanco Country, Texas, and graduated from Johnson City High School in 1924. For the first year after college, Johnson taught public speaking and debate in a Houston high school. In 1931, Johnson campaigned for Richard M. Kleberg and was rewarded with an appointment as the new congressman*s secretary. During his four years as a congressional secretary, he met Claudia Alta Taylor, a young woman from Texas known to her family and friends as "Lady Bird", who later became Johnson*s wife in 1934.

- 11455: Bring Back Flogging
- ... on his position. Jacoby uses in this essay verbal irony (persuasion in the form of ridicule). In the irony of this sort there is a contrast between what is said and what is meant. Jacoby’s claim in simple is he believes that flogging should be brought back to replace the more standard conventional method of the imprisonment of violent and non-violent offenders. His grounds for the revival of flogging ... in 1694 Hannah Newell and her consort were lashed for adultery. He concludes that the corporal punishment system did not vanish with the puritans, Deleware did not get around to repealing it till 1972. Jacoby’s sarcasm can be noted by the way he illustrates the punishment of various acts. He notes in a list that killers, drug dealers, and other acts ultimately end up in prison. Prison he says seems ... inmates are raped each year, usually to the indifference of the guards. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun has written that the horrors experienced by many young inmates particularly those of nonviolent offenses are unimaginable. Jacoby’s argument of flogging attempts to show how it can be more productive over the conventional method of punishment seemingly the only way, imprisonment. His beliefs are that public whippings will prevent youths and first ...
- 11456: Ethan Frome
- ... married her because she helped him take care of his mother when she was sick. Soon after, Zeena became "sickly." She was constantly sick or believed she was suffering from some illness. She drained Ethan’s pockets of a good sum of money on medicines and doctors visits. Because Zeena was sick and could not do much work around the house, they brought Mattie, Zeena’s relative who had been orphaned, to Starkfield to help around the house in return for food and shelter.

- 11457: College, A Waste Of Time
- In her article “College Is a Waste of Time and Money”, Caroline Bird attempts to pursued her readers that colleges are overflowing with students who don’t belong there. Her article first appeared in Psychology Today (May 1975). Since this material is outdated, I find it hard to believe that most of the responses by students and parents quoted in the article still hold true. The author has set out to pursue the readers that college is a bad and unnecessary choice for today’s youth. Yet the author holds a bachelors and a masters degree from two different universities. I would think that if she thought college was really a bad choice and a waste of time and money ... looking more for job that they like doing. This unfortunately is also a contradiction to her piece of writing, because college prepares, and helps you get a job that you will enjoy. Furthermore, the author’s main ideas were not well thought out or well supported. An example of this might be her money investment idea. She implies that if an eighteen year old invested his/hers college tuition money ...
- 11458: The Pearl: Selfishness and Greed
- ... who I feel is the most selfish is the doctor. After the baby, Coyotito, is stung by the scorpion and Kino takes him to the doctor, the doctor refuses to treat Coyotito because they don't have any money. The doctor makes the statement to his servant, "Has he any money? No, they never have any money. I, I alone in the world am supposed to work for nothing- and I am tired of it." The doctor is refusing to spend a few seconds of his time to look at the baby's wound, which he knows could be fatal, simply because they cannot pay him immediately. The doctor shows his selfishness again, after learning that Kino has found a large pearl. When the doctor sees that Coyotito ... that his pearl is large and clumsy, and that no one would buy it. Then he offers Kino one thousand pesos, but Kino knows that the pearl is worth fifty thousand pesos. When Kino doesn't agree to sell the pearl for a thousand pesos the dealer tells his servant to go find three other dealers. When the other dealers get there, two of them say that they wouldn't ...
- 11459: Mass And Science
- ... gravity is relatively constant, it has been natural for us to confuse the concepts of mass and weight. To study the difference, we need to separate these two "parameters." We could either leave the earth's gravitational field so that we would have no weight, or create an experimental situation where weight is not a factor. An easy way to do this is to use floating objects. Floating objects still have all their mass, and move almost friction-free in still water, but we don't notice their weight since the water supports (opposes) it. A small block of wood floating in water can be pushed back and forth very easily by hand. Pushing a large motorboat requires either a much ... side. A kilogram is the mass of a cube of water one-tenth of a meter on a side. A megagram (metric ton) is the mass of a cubic meter of water. At the earth's surface a kilogram has a weight of about 2.2 pounds. A metric ton has a weight of about 2200 pounds. The metric unit of weight (or any other force - such as that of ...
- 11460: Legalization Of Marijuana
- ... those who are pro marijuana and those who are anti marijuana. These two factions have been fighting on this issue on the halls of justice for years. Pro marijuana legalization groups such as the Physician's Association for AIDS Care, National Lymphoma Foundation argue that marijuana should be legalized in order to treat terminally ill patients. Among them are AIDS victims who find that marijuana stimulates their appetites so they can ... marijuana can be a drug of necessity in the treatment of AIDS, glaucoma, cancer and multiple sclerosis. '' Many agencies which are anti marijuana such as Drug Enforcement Agency and police departments argue that marijuana shouldn't be legalized. These agencies believe that marijuana shouldn't be legalized because if marijuana is to become legal then thousands more patients using marijuana. Then people will raise the question why marijuana illegal at all if its a medicine. The main reason why ...
