My initial reaction to the media presented in both videos, (Laureate Education, 2012) was hopeful. I think sometimes we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, as new counselors, to have all the answers and to know exactly who we are, as professionals and how we would approach any scenario that we are presented with. As such, it was empowering to hear Dr. Marszalek (2012) confirm that its ok to not know what our personal theoretical approach is, and to confirm that this will develop over time, as the result of our experiences, as opposed to us needing to ...

1. Blocked Responses Robert Merton’s strain theory focuses on the stress, anxiety and deviance caused by “discrepancies in cultural goals and the legitimate means to achieve them,” (Murphy & Robinson, 2008, p. 503). This would entail situations where “society doesn’t provide the means to everyone to accomplish the goals it sets out for them,” (Wright, 2008). The most common shared goal in American society is the pursuit of the American Dream. But strain is caused when there are blockages to that goal.

In addition to their important roles in natural environ- ments, microbial enzymes can be highly specific in their activity and thus are increasingly useful in industrial applications. Enzymes from aquatic bacteria adapted to moderate and high temperatures have already figured in a variety of applications, including polymerase chain reac- tion (PCR), laundry detergents, protein recovery and organic synthesis (e.g. Mullis and Faloona, 1987; Adams and Kelly, 1995). Although enzymes with optimal activity at cold temperatures have been understudied compared with their heat-stable counterparts, increasing attention is being paid to cold-active enzymes as potential applica- tions are revealed Enzymes are ...

Fanatical individuals who are deeply devoted to their cause often head insurgent movements.

The issue of insurgency is not unique to the United ...
