Wuthering Heights, the story of Emily Brontë, is one of the most mysterious phenomena in world literature. Mostly overlooked by Brontë's contemporaries, the novel greatly amazed the opponents of academism in literature, and later became one of the best novels in the world. Furthermore, Wuthering Heights reflects the complicated philosophical beliefs of Emily Brontë. The story is peculiar for its image of creation which is a common characteristic of the author's art. What is more, the story is free from orthodox religious orientation. The main characters, Heathcliff and Earnshaw, deny the power of church and the common concepts ...

Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta (southern Georgia) in the family of the priest of Baptist Church. Despite the fact that it was the period of the Great Depression in America, which led to the fact that 65% of the colored population of Atlanta was forced to receive unemployment benefits, economic difficulties have not affected rich, bourgeois priest family. Martin spent his childhood quite comfortable. Occupation of King Sr. largely determined the life of his son. From an early age, Martin attended a church that was closer than the school and where his father ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

We would like to analyze the movie “Children of Heaven” (1997) and more precisely the issues, raised in it (IMDb). This film, produced in Iran, is a very thoughtful picture, raising a lot of social and moral issues. If you look at the film from a philosophical point of view and if we dig deep enough, we will see that this movie is about the true moral values, about the sense of responsibility to the family, about a true self-dedication for the sake of the whole family. Here there are raised the questions that everyone, even the kids, must ...

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting

In a Clinical Substance Abuse Setting Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development sought to explain the way personality develops. Like Freud, Erikson was certain childhood events shape adult personality. Unlike Freud, however, Erikson argued that development continues throughout the lifespan (Miller, 1983). Working on the foundation laid by Freud, Erikson developed the stage theory wherein the lifespan was divided into eight stages beginning at birth and continuing through late adulthood. Erikson theorized that each stage was defined by a “psychosocial crisis” (Weiten, 2005, p. 302). The first five stages occur through the lifespan through puberty. Each stage must ...

Introduction

Social control theories emerged in the early 1900s which questioned why not all humans commit crimes. Unlike the criminology theories that examine why an individual commits criminal activity, the social control theories focus on how certain individuals refrain from it. There were several notable sociologists who expressed their ideas on how the society and its traditions can ensure that an individual will conform to a law-abiding lifestyle. They identified two types of controls in their theories. Informal and formal control. The informal control mechanisms are family, friends, or their individual social circles. The formal control is from the Government ...

Abstract:

St. Elizabeth of Hungary School is a Catholic run academic institution established on September 12, 1958 in Texas. At its inception, the school had a population of 27 students.

Such management can only be realized through definite procedures and regulations that effectively steer conduct and safeguard the professional ethics.

In the event of a disaster, there is a general and deep lying impact on the fabric of the community that is affected. This includes the practices, rituals and beliefs of the community all which define the spiritual life of that particular community. These spiritual aspects have a significant meaning on life and are the foundation on which the psychosocial modes of a community are built. In such events of a disaster, people do react differently even within this spiritual perspective (Bryant-Davis & Wong, 2013). Some people will feel as though the meaning of their spiritual beliefs has been lost ...

The art world of the 17th century was dominated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who not only challenged contemporary artistic traditions but encouraged innovative interpretation of subjects. He played a significant role in creating the expressive vocabulary of the Baroque style in sculptural and architectural projects.

The mystical figure is located at Cornaro Chapel, Rome and recognized as the most sensually charged creation of the artist.

Part 2: Reflection Describe a specific population of clients with whom you hope to work in the future. At-risk teens are a population that is often underestimated and underserved. The at-risk population experiences everything from interferences to challenges to outright obstacles which malign the individual’s social, emotional, and behavioral development—from poor adult and peer relationships and gross lack of adequate role models to maladaptive coping strategies, including low frustration tolerance thresholds, hypersensitivity to failure, impulsivity, and low self-esteem, as well as inadequacies in appropriately expressing emotions and needs. Some of the at-risk teens live in two-parent homes, ...

Theology Expectations

Theology is a new avenue for me. This is not a typical class that is taught in every school. I do think that this class will be more than another set of credits on a transcript. I do believe that there is some very valuable information to be learned from this course and I am ready and willing to go forward. I have always been one to take my spiritual and religious beliefs seriously, but this new approach is already something different and interesting. I have high hopes for this course in the next five weeks. Religion ...

However, it is clear that the main aim of the article is to define the concept of compassion within the nursing discipline as Schantz believes that it is important to exercise it in everyday nursing practice. First of all, in her article Schantz tries to identify the definition of compassion. ...

Thesis The good indicates one’s understanding of being, in which one halts from evil and incorporates the choices and beliefs that are considered good. It is a predetermined phenomenon in which one individuals try to incorporate good rather than evil in a rationalized manner. It eventually indicates that individuals indulge in the wrong only under the self-denial and unconsciousness towards the extent of good (Partenie and Tom 8). The extent to which one believes in good also accounts for the extent of self-determination which eventually empowers the individual towards new perspectives and laws (Partenie and Tom ...

Mysticism is the feeling of spirituality and a god-like presence in your life. It apparently happens when people least expect to have an encounter with the spirits as they are still living and many only have these feeling at death. This is the thought that many would like to think of to dismiss the notion that ordinary people can have mystical experiences. The notion that only a select few people can have mystical experiences comes in part from the Catholic Church's belief that the saints or a few very select nuns and priest achieve the state of mysticism and ...

Mysticism in religion has a long tradition that dates back to the early shamanism and continues existing and developing for centuries in different cultures. All of the mystical paths have something in common, but still it is difficult to choose one, because there is no easy path to achieve the aim of mystical experience – reaching the gap between the conscious and the divine and finding the heaven on Earth. Every religious path has similar features with the other paths, and I find some elements and ideas in each of them appealing and interesting. Still, the one I found the ...

Brahman, Atman and Maya

What is your understanding about the Relationship between Atman, Brahman, Moksha, Karma, Samsara, and Maya? Brahman is spiritual; pure consciousness, which is the supreme reality, and is indefinable. It is not this, or that, and has no name, and beyond all senses and intellect. It is unborn, and from that nothingness (Nirgunaparabrahman), originates all, and into it all returns. The Atman is the individual living entity, known as a spirit soul. The Brahman and Atman are one in quality, but they differ in quantity. The infinitesimal Atman is overpowered by illusion, which is Maya. The polluted consciousness of the ...

Spirituality and Healing

Spirituality permeates so much of our society. It governs our morals, beliefs, and manners of thinking. Much of our personality is shaped from our spiritual views. Our ability to handle situations is also a branch from our tree of spirituality. Each and every person has opinions about the level of control they have over their own life.

They need the rules, the ...

Everyone knows that the art is very important in society. Fine art, prose and poetry, music and film improve our everyday life, make it brighter, brings joy and comfort. Yet sometimes there are people who do not agree with this statement. They argue that art is a waste of energy and resources, and areas such as science and industry are truly important since they produce items that necessary for the society. However, this opinion is incorrect, since art in general, and the people involved in it in particular, have a huge impact and significance in society. Our life would ...

It is in my most humble opinion that a mystical experience can be described as any encounter, association or practical experience with some sort of essential or greater power, truth or realm. It can be said that this area of greater truth is outside of the realm of ordinary and/or typical consciousness of oneself. It is to my understanding that a mystical experience can be acquired mainly through deep meditation in direct relation to an individual’s own spiritual discipline. However that is not to say that one whom is not necessarily spiritual or secular, cannot acquire an experience ...

The benefits of the crusades vs. the benefits of the current terrorist group (ISIS)

Introduction Since the medieval ages, religion has been used to spread acts of narrow-mindedness against others. From the time of the Christian inquisitions and crusades to the current Islamic jihadism and terrorism, this fundamentalist attitude has caused the death of many. At its root, is the selfishness and ambition for power and wealth that rules the hearts of men. Religious organizations are responsible for establishing the moral fiber in the society. They undertake this duty by selling the concept of ‘salvation’. In return, they obtain rent in the form of tithes in order to intercede on behalf of individuals ...

In fact, doubt in authority can bring an ...

Proposal

The world had always been full of different religious beliefs, because there is probably no universal explanation of the origins of human creation. Since the ancient times, we all needed a symbol of faith and of the existence of the judge, who sees everything, thus, is always eager to price, or to punish. Depending to the extent to which we’ve followed his commandments. The two religions: Islam and Christianity are highly different, and their followers are people, whose worldview differs from the other.

Karpetis, George. "How experienced social workers apply recovery-oriented mental health policies in everyday practice." European Journal of Social Work 23.1 (2020): 106-117.

Most of these techniques that social workers use include offering psychological first aid, listening to the victim, and offering them a temporary ...

We at Dualism Incorporated propose that we in fact hold the correct Metaphysical/Epistemological view. We assert that the spiritual (mental) and the physical i.e bodies exist in unison but are made of different elements, and reside in different plains of existence, and that humans are made of both components. The mind and body are separate entities that exist as one and have sway over each other.

It goes without saying that we understand that the world we live in is populated by physical bodies that are made of particles we know as atoms and these bodies are subject ...

The prison system that currently exists today offers a retribution measure instead of corrective actions to assert and ensure that the convicted assailants, after serving their prison time, could go back to the community as responsible individuals. While this is the case, a documentary featured in 2005 and 2009 documents a different role of prisons. Aside from housing convicted individuals, it also serves as a modern day asylum for mentally-ill individuals convicted of committing a crime against society.

I am writing this memo as my personal take on the existing problem regarding the release of convicted mentally-ill individuals to the society after serving ...
