Labelling thoughts, feelings and behavior as psychological disorders is inaccurate and unreliable. Psychological disorders are associated with a combination of symptoms and sign considered to be abnormal. Normal people have many thoughts depending on the prevailing circumstances. These thoughts are not constant and are influenced by many factors sometimes beyond the control of the person. Similarly, feelings and behavior and behavior can vary among perfectly normal people. Feelings of hate, love or simply liking are influenced by the relationship between people. It is also normal for the feelings to change such as from love to hate based on changing ...

The council of the slew of generals President Abraham Lincoln had to tread through, was not unlike dangerous waters which were constantly shifting amid the complexity of the Civil War. The events surrounding the Civil War era, the Lincoln presidency with its turmoil of revolving generals, and the hotly debated issue of slavery form the most contested episode in United States’ annals of history. Among the short string of military generals under the auspices of Abraham Lincoln include George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade. Whether or not people agree with Abraham Lincoln’s ...

Robert J Katenbaum compiles some writings that fall under the bracket of death, human experience and perception of the society. Chapter nine of the book looks into assisted death, euthanasia, right to die and abortion. These four items characterize as the most controversial issues present in the current times. People have different opinion towards them especially on abortion and the right to die. The main reason is that they center on an individual’s perspective and will without thinking of the environment. For instance, abortion is a crucial talk in most human rights convention in that there are people ...

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Italy, like other European countries, was in position of devastation. The defeating of fascism meant that the country required immediate reconstruction, and that was the main purpose of the new Italian government. The years 1945-1948 were the triumph of continuity. Such things as rhetoric and constitution were changed; however, most of the former institutes still remained untouched. The expected reconstruction faced some problems. In May 1945, the Italian partisans officially took control of the government in Rome. According to Duggan, the country faced three main domestic problems to resolve: ...

The history class during the last season, which introduced me to certain finest civilizations that existed on the earth was really thought-provoking and inspiring. It was interesting to learn about ancient Egypt, the land of mysteries and pyramids. It was heartening to learn that the civilization whose seeds were thrown along the banks of legendary river Nile was responsible for introducing various architectural concepts to the rest of the world. It was also interesting to learn that the Egyptians practiced irrigated agriculture by constructing dams and conserving water. The classical Greek and Roman history introduced me to the basic ...

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends. This type of music, as I learned is unique and invokes its own language, music, dance style and wardrobe styles respectively. Dancing hip-hop requires a closer integration of the body parts in order to invoke the right moves and meaning to the song. The dance complements the social and cultural background of the song, and as such the moves must perfectly complement the song and its historical artifacts. The first element of this dance involves popping, which includes a quick contraction ...

While researching “Brave New World”- a novel written by Aldous Huxley, I found out that Huxley is interested in the real “outrage” of history’ our notions of what a person needs to be happy and is there a “bright future of mankind”. Huxley was always aware of “little” people and discussed topics which are still popular in modern culture. In his novel he created “a world where people consider that they are constantly happy and never want what they can’t have. He made a world where life is created in test tubes and children are tend to ...

This paper will focus on The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It will address the purpose, history, and possible future implications for the act. It will also address legislation that has occurred since the enactment, consequences for employees and employers, and the opinion as to its fairness. Several laws were passed prior to the ADA banning discrimination. Laws prohibiting employment discrimination against minorities, gender, age, and religious persuasion, had been enacted, but none had specifically addressed those with disabilities. The ADA was first signed into law in on July 26, 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. (U.S. Department of ...

Introduction The US-China international relations attract much attention of politicians and economists all over the world as the key influential and transformational factor on the global arena. Ferguson & Schularick (2007) adopted the term “Chimerica” to describe the peculiar relationship between US and China established during the decades. According to ancient Greek mythology, the Chimera was a monster with several heads, legs and arms representing a strong animal able to dominate the world and threaten its stability. Analyzing the world global crisis 2008-2009 and recession phenomenon Ferguson & Schularick (2007) referred the “Chimerica” concept to the emerging monster, which currently regulates ...

Qualitative research methods such as case studies, comparative and historical approaches have gained popularity and relevance as research methods within the field of social research such as international relations. This prominence has mainly been attributed to the unique features and advantages that these methods enjoy over other research methods in the study of complex social phenomena, events, groups, relations and communities within specific contexts (Becker, Bryman & Ferguson, 2012). Further, the capability of some of these research methodologies, such as case studies, to provide researchers with the ability or possibility of developing theories, evaluating programs and developing appropriate interventions has ...

The commonly believed beginning of the Israeli-Palestine conflict began with the founding of the Jewish nationalist movement known as Zionism in the late 1800 with the ultimate goal of establishing a Jewish nation in their what Jews considered their historic homeland, which included areas in present-day Palestine, which was then under the control of the Ottoman empire. Despite the fact that, their traditional homeland was under Ottoman rule, the early 1900s, so many Jews across the world who believed or followed Zionism or supported the establishment of a Jewish nation began to immigrate to Palestine. The local Zionist movement ...

Its appearance dates back to the times of the creation of the pyramids in Ancient Egypt and the increased want in the transportation of supplies, materials, and goods for people and construction; ancient civil engineering principles and techniques formed the basis of the building norms people use nowadays. However, till the beginning of the 19th century professions of an engineer and an architect were just variations referring to the same person; there was no difference between civil engineering and architecture.

Is There A Crisis In The Australian Film Industry?

Many people are fond of watching films, whether they are animated, in 2D or 3D. Watching films are also considered by the society nowadays as means for leisure rather than a means for the development or reinforcement of values and portrayal of cultures. Moreover, many common viewers who had not taken formal education on films often paid little or no attention to the production and make of the film. They are often left by the film makers to indulge on the simplicities and complexities of films that allow them to experience events or emotions that are familiar or new ...

[Class Title]

Introduction Bob Ewell is one of the major character in Harper Lee’s classic novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird. This paper would like to analyze the character of Bob Ewell and how he was portrayed in the novel. The Ewells were, evidently, a dysfunctional family. Bob Ewell, for instance, was a known drunk, but because he and his daughter are White while the accused was a black man, the predominantly white society of the fictional Maycomb County in Alabama became overly biased towards the case. The accused has already lost the battle of public opinion based ...

Through early American history each new action and document established an important precedent for the young nation. For example, the Declaration of Independence created the foundation of a new country by not only declaring independence, but also by establishing essential truths on which the nation would be based. Equally important is the Gettysburg Address, which not only motivated future action, but also summarized actions that preceded it. In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln advances the idea that difficult tasks, such as wars, should be pursued to their successful completion in order to honor the fallen, a philosophy which has ...

Jocelyn Linnekin’s book, Sacred Queens and Women of Consequence: Rank, Gender, and Colonialism in the Hawaiian Islands is aimed as answering the simple question why there was a statistical inheritance pattern shift that allowed land to come increasing into the hands of women. The women of consequence in the book are the commoner or ordinary women of Hawaii. Her approach seems to hold for a constructionist approach to history, where the contemporary people construct history as opposed to the events that actually transpired. The first three chapters are a demonstration of her authorship style of her attempt to ...

The impact of the Ottoman Empire on the Arab lands that it inhabited were many and varied, as the Empire was both long standing and powerful. The Ottomans influenced the Arabs’ religious lives, their understanding of and access to their lands, and their cultural understanding of themselves. A look at the impact of this time period is paramount to understanding the Arab countries today. The religious experience of Arabs changed significantly during and after the Ottoman rule. While they had been Muslim previously, there was a shift in the nature of the people’s understanding during the Ottoman occupation ...

The Book of Amos

Introduction The Book of Amos is part of the group of twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The twelve Minor Prophets were not less significant than the Major Prophets. Their expressions of prophecies were just shorter than the longer and more detailed prophecies of the Major Prophecies (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) (Keathley, III, 2016, n.p). One could call Amos a pastoral prophet, since he was not in the courts of the kings and of priestly lineage (such as Jeremiah). He was a herdsman, and spent time caring for the sycamore trees as well (Amos 7:14). It is important ...

Introduction

There are many countries around the world that were able to portray their significance through various ways and expressing their global position, which can be measured using factors that are present in core countries. These may include their ability to control the global market and at the same time, benefit from its advantages. Thus, these countries are wealthy due to their broad resources, combined with favorable location, as to compare with other nations. China holds many characteristics that many other countries do not. Thus, these could be the reason that China could become a core society. The purpose of ...

To be sure, although there are a number of organized criminal networks operation in or against the U.S. that include a range of ethnicities and national origins, such as the Russian mafia, the Mexican drug cartels, and Chinese triads; ...

Drug courts represent a relatively new phenomenon within the criminal justice system as both the federal and state governments intensify the fight against drug usage, trafficking and other drug-related offences in the US and effectively rehabilitate alcohol and drug offenders.

According to a report by Martinez and Eisenberg (2002), the history of drug courts in Texas may be traced from 2001 when the Texas Legislature through the House Bill 1287 sanctioned the creation of drug courts ...

Introduction

Egypt is one of the oldest nations in the world. Primarily, the country is considered as a republic yet there are certain elements in Egypt’s political system that makes it less democratic than most established democracies in the world. While Egypt has a political system that features elected representatives, the country is non-secular. Officially known as the Arab Republic of Egypt, the country has adopted Islam as its official religion, which makes its political system quite similar to other Islamic states in the Middle East and on other parts of the globe. In this sense, Egypt’s political ...

International Law and Global Inequality

The simple basic definition of international law is a group of rules that countries observe when interacting with each other. There are three distinct legal directions in the international law and they are: Public International Law that involves the relationship between sovereign nations and international legal entities as the International Court; Private International Law which deals with questions when jurisdictions are in conflict and Supranational Law like treaties, conventions, etc., that the states adopt in a voluntary and collective way. Logically, three more questions are outlined as: is the International law a real law like the national laws; where ...

In the process of globalization, each and every nation is associated with the rest of the world for some or other ways. Not a single field can be detached from globalization. Globalization is the dependence of nations on each other in every field. In the field of architecture, globalization supports to preserve the heritage sites, as the help for their preservation comes from all over the world. The world heritage sites and other historic and ancient architectural monuments and buildings do not belong to the respective nation, but they are treated as the great asset of the world. This ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine. In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

“If the Empire were to continue to exist, a new understanding of its problems and fresh solutions would have to be found.”—Norman Itzkowitz in Ottoman Empire and Islamic Tradition, p. 108 quoted in Kevin Goodman’s “The Tanzimat and the Problem of Political Authority.” The above statement is made against the historical backdrop after the Ottoman Empire signed a “peace treaty” that ended a “six-year war, 1768-1774” with Russia, which was referred to as the Treaty of Kuchuck Kainardji (Goodwin 2). This represented a final blow in a “series of defeats” that took place ...

Discovery of Americas and its Impact on Commerce, Navigation, and Industrialization

Introduction The European exploration efforts and the subsequent discovery of the Americans was in the simplest terms, a capitalistic venture. Of course, it was accidental, but its primary goal had been to find a new sea route to the orient. The European desire to make more profits by cutting out the Arabs and Turkish nations from the trade is typical of any capitalistic venture. In addition, the idealistic desire to expand the horizons of the European reach coupled with the optimistic search for a completely new way of reaching the Orient was demonstrated in the efforts of Columbus and ...

The Armenian Genocide is one of the vigorously contested incidents of mass murder in the 20th Century. The Armenian Genocide is alleged to have been the Ottoman government’s systematic extermination of the minority Armenian population. This occurred in the historic homeland of the Armenians which is within the territory of present-day Turkey. In spite of the many claims, the Turkish government denies it was a genocide. They claim it was a war which involved the mass killing of Ottoman citizens including Muslims and Ottomans. The Turkish government also claims that the number of Armenians who died in the ...

Abstract

Erik Erikson developed a psychosocial theory to explain stages of development experienced throughout an individual’s life, from birth and infancy to old age and death. He is most closely compared to Freud, whose psychoanalytic theory predated and somewhat overlapped Erikson’s. Where they were divided, though, was with regards to motivation; Freud believed sexuality was the underlying reason for action whereas Erikson believed social interaction mostly motivated people. Erikson outlined eight total stages to describe dichotomous “life crises” that define important dilemmas at any particular stage of life. The eight stages encompass the acquisition or loss of qualities ...

In this paper, I will analyze the dialectical variations of early modern English across England. Even though the country is not as vast as the United States, the linguistic complexities are apparent in the ways different communities use the same language in different ways. As Parkin mentions, “It has been widely recognised that the regional distribution of certain bynames and surnames, from the medieval period up to the present day, can represent regional distinctions in Middle English (ME) dialect lexis and phonology” (Parkin 24). Parkin is, of course, referring to names, but this same variation and complexity is present ...

[Dissertation: Music]

Chapter 1: Introduction: Advances in technological innovation and affordability has revolutionised many aspects of modern society. Perhaps nowhere is this more observable within the entertainment industry than for electronic music. The later part of the 1980s witnessed a boom in the creation of a vast array of original sub-genres; where many pioneers developed and honed new techniques, making extensive usage of new technologies and affordable studio equipment on offer (source?). In the United Kingdom (UK) two such genres that were initially developed during this period were ‘Drum and Bass’ and ‘Jungle’. For these styles of music, an ...

Still archrivals, the USA and Russia have not only the different perception of the political world making for their incompatibility, but also quite different political cultures. Liberty-wise, the USA is an oasis of human rights and liberties while, in Russia, people are sometimes not even at liberty to leave the country for a holiday. The USA scores much higher on the index of equal money-earning and political opportunities. Russia tops the USA with regard to corruption and the lack of the rule of law, the latter being important in the west. Beyond that, the USA is a resident’ centric, ...

Project estimation is the projection of the physical and time resource needs of a proposed project. The resources include the cost and personnel required to carry out a given project satisfactorily within a specific time-frame. In most cases these estimations are overrun (Swanson, 2011). It is not peculiar to find a project whose actual cost is by up to twice the estimated budget. Doloi (2011) reveals that some projects may also experience overruns of up to three times the allocated project duration. Armour (2012) argues that vague project estimations may result into serious red-flags if project decisions are based ...

Abstract

The writing delves deep into the structure known as Borobudur. The historical, cultural and religious significance of this architectural structure is explored in the course of the writing so as to comprehend how the temple complex is important even in the present times. In relation to the theoretical concept of flaneur as explicated by the famous theorist Walter Benjamin, the images of the structures present inside the temple complex of Borobudur are explored. (Benjamin, 1929) It is further explored how Borobudur could have in reality been a city. Indeed, this place was the focus of Buddhist worship and scholarship ...

The British Empire reigned most of the world territories and had various activities whereby some were beneficial to the society while others adversely affected ...

Co-relational Research

The objective of the co-relational research is to demonstrate the connection between two variables. The co-relational research is different from the experimental research in several ways. Primarily, co-relational researches can only be used to identify the connection between two variables. By this relation, the co-relational research assists in making predictions. However, the co-relational research lacks the efficiency to decide the causation as to which variable is the basis of transformation in the other variable. The most significant task of the co-relational research is to describe or forecast behavior. Co-relational research is further divided into two categories namely positive correlation ...

It is truly a judgment to pick a decade describing the warp and woof of the US history, though the 1920s represent a perfect bridgehead for such reflections. The 1920s, to an enormous extent, resemble our contemporary era, with that crucial decade being a precursor of contemporary superfluity (Miller, New World Coming 1). Likewise, much of what is regarded modern in reality took place in the 1920s, such as jazz and psychiatry (Miller, New World Coming 1). The recovery of the US economy in that times contributed heavily to its subsequent participation in the Second World War. Following the ...

It was presented that the visual model of the modern era, which can be identified using Renaissance ideas and Cartesian ideas in relation to individual reasoning in philosophy. This can also be called Cartesian perspectivalism. This is somehow equivalent with the modern scope regime itself. In relation, the Cartesian perspectivalism was illustrated by two prominent commentators, which are William Ivins and Richard Rorty. Ivins said that the art’s history during the five hundred years has been a little more than the story of the gradual diffusion of the ideas of the artists as well as the European people. ...

1. Explain the one-drop rule, the link between slavery and mass incarceration, and how these events lead to a theory of racial domination in the U.S. After the abolition, the US African-American community was subject to several racial regimes. In some degree, each of them partially allowed the blacks to compensate for their racial accessory and, in the due course, civilized the institution of ethnoracial domination. Nonetheless, every new stage entailed significant regression. It can be argued that the contradiction between the institutionalized racial superiority and democracy is rooted in historical and cultural processes The slavery era gave birth ...
