...Approaches to Psychotherapy and Existential Theory Bonnie Cole Abstract This paper seeks to explain the concept of psychotherapy, and the dominant psychotherapeutic methods used for the treatment of individuals. These methods are: psychoanalytic, humanist, behavioral, and cognitive (jointly called cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT). I further explore existential psychotherapy, as it is the method I found most appealing in my research. I included quotations from several journal articles, and from our textbook, “Discovering Psychology, Fifth Edition”. Approaches to Psychotherapy and Existential Theory Psychotherapy is an official term that normally goes by different names: counseling, treatment, psychiatric therapy, even head shrinking. They all mean the same thing, and have a common goal. Psychotherapy seeks, through the use of trained professionals, to help individuals improve their mental health using a variety of different approaches. A much more comprehensive definition can be found in the textbook Discovering Psychology, Fifth Edition, which states that psychotherapy is: “The treatment of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal problems through the use of psychological techniques designed to encourage understanding of problems and modify troubling feelings, behaviors, or relationships”...

...Andy Warhol Looking back over the past century or so, there were few artists that really stood out and became household names. One of these people was Andy Warhol— “the soup can guy.” To set the tone let me give you a quote to chew on: “What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.” –Andy Warhol Now, right off the bat, you can tell what kind of guy Warhol is, and his attitude toward life. Yes he took his art seriously but if you read his book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) you will see that’s pretty much the only thing he really took seriously. Warhol, born Andrew Warhola on Aug. 6, 1928 , to Slovakian parents didn’t come from a well off family. His parents were working class immigrants in Pittsburgh. When Warhol was in third grade, he came down with St. Vitus’ Disease, a nerve disorder that causes involuntary movements and thought to be a complication of scarlet fever, which “changed his appearance and his life forever.” Despite this complication...

...Robert Stark Psychology Final Paper The Biological and Cultural Forces that Differentiate Males and Females Males and females have been different throughout history. The question we study is why and what drives them to be different. There are two forces that make us unique, which are biological and cultural. Studies show that male selections throughout the world are being analyzed studies done by scientists, biologists and sociologists to psychologists. Three books I used to understand this question are “The Third Chimpanzee: The evolution and future of the human animal” by Jared Diamond, “Same Difference: How gender, myths are hurting our relationships, our children, and our jobs” by Rosalind C. Barnett, and “Our Kind” by Marvin Harris. Some questions aren’t just about the biological and cultural aspect but about the social norms as well. In what ways are males and females different? Also what ways are they similar? These questions all can be answered going back to the beginning of time. Evolution is something we need to understand because it is responsible for the observable differences between males and females. A question that everyone wonders is, how did we get here? Jared Diamond’s “The Third Chimpanzee” answers this question. A strong theory comes from Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and adaptation. Even though species are all different in its own nature they play a special role in life. The species that have the traits to allow them to...

Executive Summary The diamond industry is a burgeoning industry with high profit margins that is attractive to any organization around the world. However with production limited to a handful of companies and the opportunity to conduct sales promotions hindered by the monopoly of De Beers Diamond Company, the opportunities for growth are limited, at best. This report examines the situation of Argyle Diamonds of Australia. It provides a SWOT analysis for a deeper look into the current situation as well as analyzing the key objectives, strategies, and tactics that are employed by Argyle Diamonds in its efforts to promote coloured diamonds through the use of a value chain analysis. Finally, recommendations have been provided for Argyle Diamonds on how to capitalize on its strengths in the coloured diamond industry with particular emphasis on the opportunity they possess with the large production of brown diamonds. The overall analysis suggests that Argyle Diamonds are moving in the correct direction; a direction...

Also discussed are two key management issues that need to be taken into account before developing operations in Tunisia followed by recommendations on two strategies for entry into the Tunisian wine industry market. In terms of background to this report, it should be noted that the global market for wine industry is changing significantly with substantial differences in the structure of the wine industry around the world. For instance, there are 232,900 wine producers in France but the top 10 brands control only 4% of the market. In contrast, four firms control over 75% of the Australian wine market. Hence there is a marked difference in industry structure when comparing the “New World” producers (e.g. Australia, Chile, United States) to the “Old World” firms. These structural differences are driven by institutional...

...The Underestimated Importance of Luck in Crime Solving Detective fiction is a branch of crime fiction that centers upon the investigation of a crime, usually murder, by a detective. It is the most popular form of hardboiled crime fiction and mystery fiction. In the story, the detective uses reasoning to piece together various clues left behind by the perpetrator to form a coherent story of how the murder took place. It is even written down as rules that “the culprit must be determined by logical deductions” and “the means of detecting it (the murder), must be rational and scientific” (Van Dine, 1928). Through the years, three major forms of reasoning have been frequently used to solve the cases- deductive, inductive and abductive. Although these three methods vary in terms of uncertainty involved, a common intuition that can be inferred about gaining knowledge from the rules is that knowledge is true belief that has been acquired in a non-accidental or non-lucky fashion. However, I will be drawing on specifically three types of luck- evidential epistemic luck, content epistemic luck and pure luck, and how luck is often underestimated as a contributing factor towards solving crimes along with reasoning. The first type of luck I will be discussing is evidential epistemic luck, where the detective is lucky to be able to possess certain knowledge in the first place (Pritchard, 2005). The animated series “Detective Conan” follows the adventures of Kudo Shinichi, a teenage...

...Human beings have greed in their soul. They seek only profit in every work, no feeling of humanity in them for innocent face. No owner regret on their shameful act of child labor. Children who are small have no sense of “valuable papers”. Actually they don’t worth it they the necessary is education, they have hunger of fact. They have thirst of copy, pencil and bag. The parents, especially in south Asia, pretend as children are the gift of god we need to lose it else almighty will never forgive us and the same parent send their son to wash dishes of other, which is blindly correct. No, that is not blindness; money has covered their eyes and mouth, along with all sense organ that forbid them to understand their child’s pain. Making them work is largest sane in the entire universe. Children who have no knowledge of this cruel world are easily misused. They are forced to do lower class job, sometimes prostitution, which adult demand much higher cost. Child they work days and night to feed their family. They have to screw their entire childhood for their parent’s happiness. Children have sharp eyesight which is always beneficial of art work. It is less expensive to them; they have to give less food to them, they can also make children work overtime without any extra money. They can be easily frightened if they are taking rest instead of working. For instance, in a company if owner is providing food and wedge for daily. He will be benefited if he employs children; in compare to...

...1 The Turing Triage Test Dr. Robert Sparrow Centre for Human Bioethics Faculty of Arts Monash University Victoria 3800 Australia. This paper appeared in print in: Ethics and Information Technology 6(4): 203-213. 2004. Please cite that version. 2 The Turing Triage Test Abstract If, as a number of writers have predicted, the computers of the future will possess intelligence and capacities that exceed our own then it seems as though they will be worthy of a moral respect at least equal to, and perhaps greater than, human beings. In this paper I propose a test to determine when we have reached that point. Inspired by Alan Turing’s (1950) original ‘Turing test’, which argued that we would be justified in conceding that machines could think if they could fill the role of a person in a conversation, I propose a test for when computers have achieved moral standing by asking when a computer might take the place of a human being in a moral dilemma, such as a ‘triage’ situation in which a choice must be made as to which of two human lives to save. We will know that machines have achieved moral standing comparable to a human when the replacement of one of these people with an artificial intelligence leaves the character of the dilemma intact. That is, when we might sometimes judge that it is reasonable to preserve the continuing existence of a machine over the life of a human being. This is the ‘Turing Triage Test’. I argue that if personhood is understood as a matter of possessing...

...Kritika Ku ltu ra NEW SCHOLARS FORUM Gay Language: Defying the Structural Limits of English Language in the Philippines Norberto V. Casabal Lyceum of Subic Bay, Philippines nvcasabal@yahoo.com Abstract Gay language has achieved a higher degree of acceptance in recent years in the Philippines. Both gays and nongays can be heard uttering gay expressions. But the main role of gayspeak for gay people in the Philippines is to function as an “armor” to shield themselves from the chasm and the social stigma caused by gender differences. From a linguistic point of view, this paper not only describes the nature of this gay language and how expressions are coined; it also looks at how code mixing (gayspeak + English language) is made possible. This paper also examines how this code-mixing creatively violates the grammatical structure of the use of the English language in the Philippines. Keywords code-mixing, gayspeak, gender difference, Philippine English, street-talk About the author Norberto V. Casabal is Head for Academic Affairs of Lyceum of Subic Bay. He is currently pursuing his MA in English Language and Literature Teaching at the Ateneo de Manila University. Introduction Binabae and bakla are familiar words in Filipino street-talk. But what about badaf, baklush, and baklers? These are a little confusing for the average Filipino speaker, while the expressions Bading Garci, pa-mihn, pa-girl, X-men, will lose most expert speakers of the Filipino language. These are terms which...

What did you learn about leadership from this case? – analyze and answer each of the questions in the case study – It is not necessary for you to type the question itself, but you should number your answers to correspond to the question you are answering -2 pages long (excluding cover page, attachments, double-spaced) , using 12-point font and 1-inch margins. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Earlier this year [2011], private-equity chief Lynn Tilton flew to Detroit to try to improve sales at one of her auto-parts companies. She got a cool reception from Ford Motor Co.’s purchasing chief, Tony Brown, who asked if she was like other private-equity chiefs that “strip and flip” their companies. “You must be mistaken,” she shot back. “It’s only men that I strip and flip. My companies I hold long and close to my heart.” With her platinum blonde hair, tight leather skirts, and penchant for racy remarks, Ms. Tilton has a talent for getting people’s attention. Yet behind the glam facade is a sophisticated distressed-debt investor and manufacturing tycoon who has quickly become one of the richest self-made women in America. Through her New York–based holding company, Patriarch Partners, Ms. Tilton owns all or parts of 74 companies, with revenues of more than $8 billion and 120,000 employees. By most measures, Patriarch is now the largest woman-owned business in America. Ms. Tilton, 52 years old, built her fortune from...

...For one to win, one must lose. A cooperative game is where everyone who plays is better off for having played than not having played the game. That is not to say that everyone is equally well off, but simply better off than they were before playing. Hence, even in a cooperative game, some people will likely benefit more than others. To understand why individuals make the decisions they do in a game it is important to consider the personality of the player. Personality is a term used to describe a great many feelings and behaviors. Literally hundreds of personality dimensions or traits have been identified by psychologist over the last 100 years. However, within the past 25 years or so, a consensus has emerged that, for the most part, the human personality can be described by five dimensions or factors. The Big Five personality dimensions include: extroversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. Research on the Big Five personality dimensions is promising due to the evidence that shows personality does influence important work behaviors such as job performance, training proficiency, and job satisfaction.
