In psychology there are three main types of parenting. They include Authoritative, Authoritarian, and the permissive parenting styles. The Authoritarian parenting style involves the parent feeling the need to control the actions of the child. The parent values highly obedience and respect and usually feels superior to the child. The child develops fear due to the harsh punishments given. Children of Authoritarian parent develop poor social skills and competences. In extreme cases the children may develop insecurities and have ant-social tendencies.

Children have a way of getting through with their demands; they will often convince their parents using various methods including withdrawal to attract their parent’s attention.

Nurses suffering from fatigue are a health risk since they are prone to making patient care errors which reduce the quality of care offered ...

a. The study framework used in this study was clearly identified as Lee et al., (2004) model of impaired sleep. This model provides that sleep loss or poor quality of sleep is as a result of inadequate sleep or disruption of sleep. It also provides that secondary factors that may also affect sleep include lifestyle situations and health-related problems.

Born during the height of discrimination and slavery, Paul Laurence Dunbar strived to be educated and was able to write poems, short stories and novels from the perspective of his race, the African-Americans. Their desire to be free from the term Africans which has a connotation of being a slave was vividly described in his writings. These writings became the inspiration of the personalities of the Civil rights movement like Maya Angelou. This is specifically to Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

In one of his poems entitled, Lyrics of Lowly Life, he articulated how his race were ...

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition characterized by stiffness, non-restorative sleep, chronic fatigue, and widespread musculoskeletal pain. The pain is persistent when the tender points are palpated, but unlike myofascial pain, the patients do not complain about burning pain localized in specific sites (LeBlond, Brown, & DeGowin, 2009). FM is diagnosed by palpating 18 standardized tender points, which are bilaterally distributed on the anterior and posterior sides, and the diagnosis is concluded if the patient experiences pain in at least 11 points (Arcangelo & Peterson, 2013). Although the exact cause of FM is unknown, many healthcare providers and researchers consider it a ...

The metaphysical poets John Donne and Andrew Marvell were two of the most known and most influential people with regards to metaphysical poetry. Although for the case of Marvell, it was only until after he died when his poems were published. Thus, it is only right that this discussion on metaphysical poetry be an analysis and literary assessment of their works. I have acquired two poems to discuss in this paper of comparison which are John Donne’s “The Flea” and Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress” and see what defines these works as metaphysical and what ...

- Discuss Cognition and Emotion. Can We Experience Emotion Apart from Thinking? Can you remember feeling emotion without knowing why?

There is a strong and direct relationship between cognition and emotion, although they are two different things and cannot be interchangeable. Cognition mainly refers to mental processes such as language, attention, problem solving, planning, memory, etc. Emotion on the other hand refers to any kind of subjective and conscious experience. Cases wherein cognition and emotion occurs at the same time are not uncommon. In the same manner, there can also be cases wherein an individual experiences emotion without cognition. I have ...

Specialists in psychotherapy and psychodynamic presumptions have explained the method by which we defend ourselves from consciousness of our dreaded and apprehensive inclinations. Defense mechanism is the manner in which we distance ourselves from a complete consciousness of obnoxious ideas, emotions and wishes. According to the psychoanalytic hypothesis, defense mechanisms signify an unconscious intercession by the character of id desires, which clash with the desire and wishes of the superego. By modifying and misrepresenting one's consciousness of the unique desire, one makes it more bearable. Much as defense mechanisms are used in an effort shield one from obnoxious feelings, ...

Sensory information is accurate, but the interpretation of sensory information is unreliable and biased. While senses were traditionally considered passive mechanisms, it is now evident that the interpretation of information received through the senses is an active mechanism based on inherited traits and past experiences. Several factors, both internal and external, influence perception, and those factors are always subjective because all individuals possess different internal traits and experience different external events. Sensory information cannot be accurate and reliable because it depends on individual factors for interpretation and evaluation.

A sensory organ will always receive sensory input objectively, but the ...

The article represents a critique of the work Media and the American Mind by Daniel J. Czitrom published in 1982 which is considered revolutionary insight in journalism of nineteenth century because it “was linked to a tidy history of thought and research about the media” (Park, 2007, p.466).

The Czitrom’s book is notable for several significant ideas but the factor which set this work apart from other studies is the author’s choice of media theorists to analyze. The author’s goal was to give a critical estimation of Media and the American Mind and analyze the contribution of the ...

What is hypnosis?

The term ‘hypnosis’ has long been associated with entertaining side-shows in which the unsuspecting member of the public is made to cluck like a chicken every time they hear a bicycle bell. However, more recently, hypnosis has become a key psychological tool in assisting patients to re-tune their mind and to relax. It is a term derived from the Greek god of sleep, Hypnos (James 1) and indeed, hypnosis does involve the patient going into a sleep-like ‘trance’ or sorts. It was first used in the 1800s by James Braid who called it ‘neurypnosis’ and thought that it was a form of paralysis of the ...

The American Dream is an interesting enigma, a phenomenon that helps to explain American exceptionalism and yet showcases the failings of America as a country.

Mark Twain wrote about America as a great frontier, a place where anything can happen, yet his works are extremely satirical – humorous and light, yet filled with social commentary. Bret Harte, on the other hand, has a much more pessimistic view of the American Dream as a place where people can reach for the starts only to fall to their deaths. In “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” his views are summed up fairly well in the following quote: “The pride, ...

1) Explain the Systems of Stratification beginning with SLAVERY; be thorough, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CLASS SYSTEM.

When social inequality prevails in the society then stratification arises. Stratification paves the way to the unequal power, authority and rewards. Poverty is the biggest cause of stratification, and it arises because of the class system prevailing in the society that paves the way to the ascribed and achieved statuses. On the ascribed status, the individual does not have any control. Examples are the race and sex. The achieved status is acquired by an individual on the basis of efforts, abilities and ...

Revealing both the best and worst aspects of humanity, the Renaissance was characterized by extraordinary human achievements, a heightened interest in human potential and, paradoxically, by superstition, witch-hunting, exorcism and torture. The humanism of Renaissance had four main themes: the belief in the individual’s potential, a tendency to view religion as being more personal rather than institutionalized, an increased interest in the classics, a rejection of Aristotelian philosophy in order to develop a more scientific attitude.
As the ecclesiastical power started to deteriorate, the pressure of having to fit scientific inquiry with Christian dogma decreased, making inquiry steadily more objective. Copernicus ...

My Leadership Traits and Competencies

Leadership and its related concepts are an area that has attracted the interest of several; researchers on the verge to develop an understanding of what makes good and bad leadership in an organization. Several believe and philosophies have been advanced to explain leadership. Besides, individual personality is also believed to have a great bearing to and a person’s leadership style (Drinon, 2012).

Women’s events and developments influenced every life of the women because it motivates women to have a strong unity towards equality.

Many changes swept in the United States that altered the lives of women at all levels of the society. The nature of these changes helped the women to face circumstances that gave them the path to enter in the political arena in behalf of other women. It was not only ...

According to research conducted by Zunker (2005, p. 132), personality traits have two different approaches that define them. These include the nomothetic method and the idiographic one. However, the nomothetic method believes that individuals inherit their personality traits and there is no way the surrounding environment can affect them. However, the idiographic approach to personality differs with the nomothetic one because it draws focus on entire personalities of people. For example, it specializes on factors such as richness and complexity that are imperative in understanding the deeper details of an individual. Ferguson (2009, p. 132) also asserted that there ...

Question 1: Gramsci: Some Preliminary Points of Reference

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

Diagnostic Tools

Mammography is a diagnostic test used for examining breasts with low-energy X-rays to detect breast cancer early. The mammogram uses ionizing radiation and creates images, which are then analyzed by radiologists to detect abnormal tissue growth. If a woman tests positive for breast cancer, the image will display microcalcifications or characteristic masses. However, the effectiveness of mammography is often disputed through clinical trials.

According to Gøtzsche and Nielsen (2009), the application of mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by 15 percent, but it also results in 30 percent increases in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The sensitivity of mammographic readings has not been ...

The role of feedback

Behaviorist theory was firstly introduced by Skinner. The main idea of the theory is that the learner is passive. Skinner stated that a learner’s mind should be clear. This will let him or her receive both positive and negative experience while learning. Behaviorism theory is based on the principle of punishment and reward. Feedback in the behaviorism theory plays a significant role. The point is that the external feedback helps the learner understand the mistakes and the step that should be taken next. Feedback provides the learner with correct information.

Sociocultural theory of learning was firstly presented by Vygotsky. He stated:

Role of parents in the social and emotional development of children

The availability of parents in close proximity to their children especially in the initial stages of their growth is crucial to the children’s social and emotional growth. Children have the tendency to form strong emotions on their feelings and when they are convinced of an aspect it is extremely hard to make them think otherwise. If a child grew up in an environment of abuses and mockery, it becomes hard to convince such a child of self appreciation and recognition of others. This is because they have not grown up in such environments and all they know are negative sentiments from ...

Reading development occurs in two distinct stages: Fluency and comprehension, and critical consciousness. Fluency refers to the reading process being automatic, with little decoding (consciously using phonics and other related skills to try to figure out the pronunciation of written words.), which interrupts the flow of reading and slows down the reader. Comprehension develops as a result of training as well as independent reading. Critical consciousness (higher order thinking) refers to the ability to think analytically and abstractly. Developing independent reading skills is an important stage in reading development.

It often happens that two people with the same height and weight may look differently. The reason of this lays in the different body composition. It is one of the most important signs of physical development and health state of the human being. Body composition depends on gender, height, food and heredity. It can be assessed in terms of mass composition and atomic composition. If we review the two-component model based on mass composition, body is subdivided into fat and lean, sometimes called fat-free, components. When you here the term fat mass, it doesn’t always foresee excessive weight ...

1. Explain how the use of substances alters a person’s state of consciousness, including depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Include in this explanation what happens to the neurotransmitters and body chemicals as well as how you might recognize if a person at work or in your family is in an altered state of consciousness due to the influence of drugs.

Depending on the type of drug that a person is taking, it can enhance or inhibit a person’s neurotransmitters. This is because of the depressants inside of a person’s central nervous system can suppress or slow down the bodily processes, which is going to reduce a person’s ability to respond. The stimulants inside of a person’s central nervous system can increase a person’s ability to respond. This is one of the main reason why some people who are on drugs are going to have hallucinations (National, 2010).

The best way to figure out whether or not a person is on drugs ...

Question 23

It is common for people to apply the meaning of the writer and the author interchangeably. However, these two words can be used to derive two different meanings. A writer is considered as a person who writes articles, books, or any other literary work. On the other hand, an author is a person who essentially comes up with the idea, content of the plot of a piece of work to be written. But indeed both words can be used to represent the same person. In other words, the author is a person who uses piece of literary work to express their own ideas ...
