In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results.
When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social audience in many crime ...

Human sex trafficking involves recruiting, abhorring and transportation of people for the purposes of using their sexual services for monetary benefits. Human sex traffickers coerce or force the victims in the recruitment process. Canada has experienced a rise in the number of human trafficking cases where most of the victims come from vulnerable groups.

1. Identify the best learning experience you have had this semester. Discuss what happened, what you learned from it, and how it will change your practice in the future.
The organizational needs assessment was the best learning experience I had this semester. Analyzing the situation to understand if it constitutes a need worth investing time and effort to address led to much self-fulfillment. At the outset, it was not very clear what the problems were at the facility. Although the director mentioned a high turnover, there was a need to validate that observation. As such, I had to dig for information, ...

Looking from this angle I think that Sammy may be considered to be a hero maybe not a great one but he is not afraid to stand and protect those who need it and this trait of character is more often than not present in heroes.

However, I cannot fully agree that Sammy`s actions were heroic and that Sammy is a hero himself. To my mind, Sammy proved than he has true sympathy and understanding of a situation ...

Each nation has own myth about world’s creation and team of gods, spirits or other powers that control it. Some of them can sound really weird.

Needless to say that having a phobia is normal for every sane person, as everybody with a healthy mind is afraid of something. He or she could be afraid of some creature (fictional and/or real), of some event, some situation etc. Every fear or phobia of something is a kind of anxiety disorder, which is generally being defined as uncontrollable and prevalent fear of a situation or an object, which is needed to be avoided by a person.

Abstract

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world. The preliminary literature review shows that these states have volatile constitutions and the poor or non-existent separation of powers causes the country to marginalize its minority ethnic groups. This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...

Hunger, a popular novel by Knut Hamsun, is indeed unwittingly about hunger. What made it controversial were the idiosyncrasies, thoughts that are often one-sided, and the abandonment and depreciation of the author on some of the basic ideologies that other authors in his era so loved, among others. There are simply a lot of things about Hamsun’s Hunger that one cannot afford to miss, not just because of its peculiarity or extraordinary characteristics, if not weird at all, but also because of the moving and entertaining features.
Perhaps from some readers’ point of view, the story in itself can ...

Women are much more likely than men to be the victim of violence at the hands of their significant others or families, but handling the situation can be very delicate.

Seamus Heaney’s “Mid-Term Break”

Seamus Heaney’s poem, “Mid-Term Break,” dramatizes the conflict of denial and acceptance, as the speaker, a boy, returns from school for the funeral of his younger brother. The reader witnesses the literal events as the boy waits at school, returns home to the mourning family, and sees the body of his little brother in the coffin. While the events in the poem seem ordinary and there is little question of what happened, Heaney had good reason to tell this story as a poem and not in prose.
A clue to this reason for poetry versus prose comes from literary ...

US Mexico relationship

The relationship between United States of America and Mexico is a complex love-hate relationship.

This disproportion between the two countries is visible in all the fields, whether it is economy, size, technology, military strength, international ties and reputation or be it any other field; Americans ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005). However, it does not mean that international context will be ignored in the analysis process because international factors might have impacts on the transition process through their connections with domestic actors particularly in terms of distribution of power and resources, which in turn have effect on how they will act (Cavatorta 2005). One thing to remember is a ...

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait.

Political repression is a theme that transverses across the two novels including Chinua’s Things Fall Apart and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis.

While stress is frequently studied, the wide variety of operational definitions of stress, as well as the wide variety of stressors in existence make it difficult to create conclusive research. While there is no “one size fits all” approach to stress mitigation, there are some ...

Organizations, instead of running themselves, require employees with a diverse mix of “abilities, intrinsic gifts, skills, knowledge, experience, intelligence, judgment, attitude, character, drive, and ability to learn and grow; collectively called talent” (Michaels et al., 2001, cited in Beechler & Woodward, 2009, p. 274)” to do the same. However, “sustaining this talent is more challenging than creating it, considering the dynamically complex and perilous global business environment, that most of the companies operate in, thus, necessitating a carefully crafted talent strategy or talent management process, on their part, that precedes every other organizational strategy, 24*7, regardless of the prevalent business conditions” ( ...

Each story is also discussed and explored separately in order to focus on its individual qualities. ...
