- Rationalization refers to the act of providing a seemingly logical (rational) explanation to a certain behavior that otherwise may seem weird or not adaptive. As a defense mechanism, it is an individual's way of finding a middle ground between the Id and the Superego. The Id is in charge or urges and emotions, and the Superego reflects our perception of what society expects and what is considered acceptable. When a certain desire or emotion does not coincide with societal expectations, even in terms of not being within the acceptable norms, it creates tension between the Id and the

The justice system in America is supposed to be comprised of the top officials this country has to offer. Skilled men and women from across America are supposed to put their talents to work when it comes to preventing crime, and rehabilitating criminals. Lately, we have been falling short on both fronts. In an effort to rehabilitate criminals, parole officers have implanted many different strategies. Two of these strategies are the casework supervision model and the brokerage supervision model. They are very different in type and use, designed to help previous offenders reshape their lives. However, between the two,

John Cariani throws magical realism to the bittersweet love scenes in his play with original, sentimental and ultimately pleasant entertainment.

The article looks at a study carried out to ascertain the effect positive emotional variability has on mental health. It is looking at theories and previous researches that have associated emotional variability with either improved mental wellbeing or a deterioration and degeneration of someone’s mental health. However, this study narrows down to positive emotion variability rather than general emotional variability as has been the subject of study by previous researchers. Similar research on negative emotion variability indicates that it spawns depression and enhances vulnerability to mental illnesses. On the flip side, research also points to variability of emotions

Annotated Bibliography

This article focuses on the Schachter’s theory of cognition-arousal of emotion by analyzing it from both an empirical and conceptual perspective. The author of this article, Rainer Reisenzein, concludes by claiming that, the only one of the numerous deductions that can be considered as misattributed arousals from the extraneous sources are responsible for intensifying emotions, and are adequately supported by the available research data. I found this article as a major resource material because it gives the research on emotions a scientific approach through the use of the Schachter theory.

Communication is a way in which people try to share the meaning through the transmission of symbolic messages.

- After reading both sides of the argument presented in the text, I believe that universities are undergoing de-professionalization, to a certain extent. In an effort to reform the education system for the better, many states have essentially lowered their standards of education. This demeans the education given to students and asks less of teachers. Indiana, for example, passed REPA, and REPA2, allowing anybody with a Bachelors and a 3.0 grade point average to be awarded and “adjunct” teaching certificate. The reform also allowed any teacher to add certifications their resume. For example, a physical education teacher could become

As early as Biblical times, dreams have been given a special place; in ancient Egypt, Joseph’s interpretation of pharaoh’s dreams had awarded him an honorary place among his advisors, and was said to have saved Egypt from starvation.
Working with dreams in therapy implies a belief that that dreams are meaningful and provide added value to the therapeutic process. Studies have shown that dreams can be influenced by a certain psychopathology, and that their content and patterns (e.g. recurring dreams, nightmares) reflect a person’s wellbeing (Pesant & Zadra, 2004).
