Couples therapy usually involves a lot of emotion, but emotion is usually not used to appeal to the clients as the reason to make changes in their relationship. In emotionally focused couples therapy, this is exactly the appeal. The past is looked at, not just during the relationship and what problems developed throughout the partnership, but well before that. Patterns are discovered and addressed that may have developed as children or early in their relationship history, with other partners. There may or may not be “breakthroughs,” but the ultimate goal is for each member of the relationship to be ...

As a native speaker of Arabic, learning to speak and write in English as my second language has been a very difficult task. While I love English, I think that its rules of grammar and pronunciation are very difficult for most newcomers. The main challenges I have faced in mastering the English language have been learning a new alphabet, and a new way to read and write. Whereas Arabic speakers write from right to left, English speakers write from left to right. In addition, there is a completely different alphabet, of 26 letters. Many times, when a person takes ...

‘Non-native’ Varieties and World English

‘Non-native’ Varieties and World Englishes Introduction The varieties of world Englishes connects to multitudes of non-native English speakers globally and the individual and collective goals in learning English as a second language. Understanding key themes in contemporary applied linguistics and the role of language in real-world problems faced by individual and groups provides a range of potential solutions available in different contexts of practice (Spelman Miller and Thompson, 2005; Kaplan, 2002; Frawley, 2003: Arts and McMahon, 2006; Davies, 2007).

Abstract

Many people never had the opportunity to travel. Some refuse to travel and prefers to remain ignorant of other cultures and societies. Those who do travel can sometimes still lead very ignorant lives because they refuse to accept the reality of other cultures or societies. However, some travelers can accept the reality of foreign societies and can not only immerse themselves in the foreign culture but also educate others about what they had experience. Through traveling, I was able to learn about the social issues of other countries firsthand. I also learned that many cultures have been ...

One should never commit perjury when testifying. Perjury is knowingly telling a lie when one is under oath about something that is important to the case. If a PLEO commits perjury when testifying, the officer may lose his or her job, he or she may face imprisonment or a fine, the defendant may be acquitted, and it reflects negatively on the professionalism and integrity of law enforcement. When being called to the stand, never walk in front of the judge’s bench, between the attorney’s tables and the judge; called “the well” (p.464)

This area is considered off-limits and could be construed as disrespectful (p. 464)

One should not look at ...

Front of the House: A Photo Essay

Introduction While management science and organisational behaviour generally study the worker within the workplace, a critique of educational systems, while certainly related, views the worker at an earlier stage in life. In Pedagogy of the Oppressed Freire famously offers the latter, and that is the focus of this essay, which considers Freire’s claim that social inequalities are perpetuated through “banking” education systems (so-named by him.) This essay also includes some personal observations from this author’s recent summer work experience, revisited now in the context of Freire’s well-known article. Paulo Freire was a Brazilian educator and philosopher, ...

Personal Experience

Capstone Project

While my time in this class was entirely memorable, one incident stood out above the others. I remember working with one young mother in particular. She spoke very little English, and was attempting to raise two young children on her own. Unfortunately, she lacked the English to give me most of the information I needed for the computer’s registry, but was able to tell me, “No father,” when I asked of his whereabouts in hopes he spoke English. I learned a lesson in manners that day. She was not grim or upset about the words, but rather stating ...

The empowering poem of "Labor Speaks" was composed in 1909 of unknown origin and author. According to the literary-focused website, "What So Proudly We Hail", the poem was popularized by the Industrial Workers of the World (Labor Speaks), a long-standing organization that continues to exist until today, which encourages the organization of worker unions to demand workplace autonomy and improvement of workers' rights. As much as the poem demands for similar values upheld by such organization, "Labor Speaks" vocalizes the contributions of the working class through time and history, and demands fair compensation through boldly overturning entrenched ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

In simple terms, you have helped me to find a balance between learning as well as having fun, socializing and cracking jokes.

I was fourteen when I first heard of the “F” word. I was walking down the street to a friend’s house when a man standing by the corner suddenly said it to my face. This happened in the UK where I was taking up an English course. I did not know what the word meant, but by his facial expression I knew that it was nothing good. At this time, I was just starting to learn English, and the word did not appear in the textbooks. ...

ABSTRACT

Frederick Douglass was a great man and truly brilliant public speaker, who spent his life working to abolish slavery and guarantee equal citizenship rights for blacks.

The article entitled “Leadership Presence and the Courage to Speak” reportedly prepared by Elizabeth A. Powell actually presented the need for leaders to speak their minds from their hearts. It was empowering to learn from Powell’s assertion that speaking one’s mind should consider the audiences’ ability to maintain their personal and professional perspectives. In addition, speaking from the heart was appreciated in terms of the need to emphasize invoking the emotional appeal from the audience to effectively influence and persuade them to see that the leaders’ contentions are actually valid; and thus, significantly authentic.

Notwithstanding the fact that the war on terror was officially launched by the White House a little more than a decade ago the main trends in the American foreign policy regarding Middle East have changed significantly in these dozen-something years a couple of times. The issue the United States of America are dealing with in case of ISIS is something very different – both in nature and in scale. Compared to the zeal of the Bush administration to fight every single suspected organization and individual in retaliation for the 9/11 assault, Obama administration was (and is) far more reserved about American warfare in ...

There is truly nothing better than curling up in a cozy chair with a snack and a fantastic book. It is easy to get so caught up in parenting, marriage and work that personal time for book exploration is set aside never to be enjoyed.

People don’t realize it but they have a set of criteria against which an author’s work can be measured. Ultimately, that criteria determines if it is worthy of time in that cozy chair.

In the Groundwork Kant makes a claim that hypothetical imperatives because of their dependence on contingent and variable desires, wishes, and ends cannot provide universally valid rules of action for all rational beings, and therefore cannot be moral. Therefore, moral imperatives must be categorical rather than hypothetical. In other words, they must be unconditionally valid rules of action for all rational beings. Moral principles must therefore be formal and be able to serve as universal laws. In a nutshell, according to Kant (i) the moral principles must be categorical imperatives (ii) the concept of a categorical imperative is an idea of an unconditional ...

In Christian theology, the term pneumatology has a somewhat different meaning, the study of the Holy Spirit. This includes studying the Holy Spirit as a person as well as the works of the Spirit.

Introduction

Culture can be one of the most challenging obstacles in business organization. This is because culture is diverse, and it is beyond the realm of ethical boundaries. By saying culture is beyond ethical boundaries, it means that the culture cannot be argued ethically incorrect because culture is distinct to a given group of people since it is rooted upon traditions. This is being the case, one’s practice, behaviors and principles could be in accordance to one’s cultural beliefs or heritage and no one can argue that is wrong because it has been what defines a community for ...

The Bible is the word of God and, as such, it deserves to be revered and studied to understand what the nature of His revelation is, and to strengthen the relationship with Him. For example, in Ephesians 4:25, He requires that one renounce to falsehood, speaking only truth, as we all form one body. I believe that this passage’s most important aspects are truth, the temptation to evil and the importance of unity within the church.

God is absolute truth and, as such, requires His followers to speak Him always. Truth is good, and it is important ...

The modernist period saw a departure from traditional modes and ways of thinking and creating art. Occurring shortly after the Victorian period, the modernist period deliberately moved away from its corseted ancestry, aiming to tell the same stories but in different modes. Among these poets was Robert Frost, whose life spanned from the end of the Victorian period into the mid-1960s. Frost was a notable poet, although not necessarily a modernist: he celebrated individuality, man’s connection with nature, and a simplicity in basic truths—he also never completely broke away from traditional forms of poetry. In his poems “The Pasture,” “Mowing,” and “ ...
