...April 20,1999. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are missing from their morning classes. At 11:14 am Harris and Klebold enter their high school, Columbine, and leave two bags against pillars both containing propane bombs (CNN.com, Sheriff Jefferson County CO, n.d.). Between 11:13 and 11:23 the first shots are heard and the two boys enter the high school. The killing wouldn’t end until approximately 12:08 when both boys would end their own live. To better understand what happened at Columbine and why two seemingly “normal” teenage boys, weeks away from graduating from high school, would want to kill everyone at their high school we need to know what was going on in these boys lives This paper will look at a theory on one of the boys, Eric Harris. A theory considered by Agent Fueslier while analyzing the killers was that Eric Harris was a full-blown psychopath. The had shown almost all the traits of psychopath expect for starting with killing animals. The traits for a psychopath, from Dr. Hare’s PCL-R score are: glib, narcissism, pathological lying, manipulative, lack of empathy, lack of remorse, poor behavioral...

...What Do You Say After You Say Hello? By, Eric Berne Book Review by Suresh A M, I semester, MBA, JSSCMS Eric Berne was a psychoanalyst who became well known in the 1970s for his system of "transactional analysis", the transactions in question being mostly those between a young child and its parents. He proposed various structures for this relationship based on the roles parent/adult/child that every person plays and presents life stories as scripts that can be good or bad. This book is considered by many to be Eric Berne's sequel to Games People Play. Although Berne published other books since Games People Play was released in 1964, most of those works were oriented towards those trained in psychotherapy and not towards the individuals who made Games People Play a two-year bestseller. The book is his last book completed just before his death in 1970. Berne's bad luck was that he wrote the book in 1970 when psychology was going through a bad patch with a flood of bizarre systems appearing. The good gets lost with the bad and transactional analysis now tends to be labeled as an outmoded California fashion related to Freudianism. In the preface he says that the book is "primarily intended as an advanced textbook of psychotherapy, and professionals of different backgrounds should have no difficulty in translating into their own dialects the short and simple annals of transactional analysis. No doubt some non-professionals will read it too, and for that reason I have tried to make...

...Describe the importance of Sheila's role in the play An inspector calls. Extracts from this document... Introduction Describe the importance of Sheila's role in the play.-Michael Rowell At the beginning Sheila was not one of the main characters as Birling takes centre stage. Setting on the play seemed revolved around the characters. The older furniture in the living room matched the aging and upper class type that is Birling. During the play Sheila is the only concerned and totally serious character to the situation. There are some well linked scenes in the play setting a mood for Sheila with the marriage, her husband to be Gerald. The pink light in the house makes Shila feel more relaxed as the set looks almost like a love scene. During the play, Sheila is the main link between the Inspector and the Audience. She constantly changes and develops as the Story is told. ...read more. Middle This sudden chance in language implicates how her attitude in the play is changing to a more mean and ruthless in her anguish towards their casual behaviour. The Inspector is a Catalyst in the character and emotions of Sheila, on impact hitting the house hold with shame. She is the most interested of people asking everyone what exactly they did, just like a second inspector who wants to put together the whole picture for the audience. Other example of this role is like when she spoke to Gerald. "What about this girl?" Her role is to be the girl that needs to know everything and gets the...

...Eric Birling What do you think is the importance of Eric and how does Priestley present him? How does he change throughout the play? At the start of the play we see Eric as a naïve alcoholic who seems to want to follow his father into his rich and successful business. We see Eric as immature and at the start of the play we see his anxiety, as if he knows that something will go wrong that night. As Eric and his family learn more about his shocking relationship with Eva, he seems to undergo a dramatic change in which he accepts responsibility for his vile treatment of Eva and breaks away from the capitalist limitations that his parents have set him. Towards the end of the play we see Eric agree with the inspector, who seems to be the righteous view of morality and also agree with Sheila who has undergone the most dramatic change and has accepted social responsibility forever. In order for us to recognise Eric’s change, his flaws first have to made abundant to the audience. Priestly obliges through the stage directions he set for Eric. He describes him as “not quite at ease” showing that he could be uncomfortable at the prospect of an evening with his mother and father or more likely that he is worried, that events with regards to Eva will be revealed. Priestly also describes Eric as “half shy, half assertive”. This seemingly duel personality, could highlight Eric’s drinking problems, which through drunkenness, has left him unsure of himself and without a set personality. From...

...Eric and Kipsy Eric and Kipsy are both employees of a suburban firm that wholesales electrical components. Eric is a new manager of product information who was hired right out of management training while Kipsy is one of 35 female workers employed by the firm, to provide current information of the large inventory of electrical equipment and supplies to the salesmen in the field. The female workers range from recent high school graduates in their first job to middle age housewives. After being shown what the tasks of the clerks were when the salesmen called in to request product information and how this information was located and relayed to the salesmen, Eric was soon fascinated by both the efficiency of the operation and the pleasantness of the surroundings. Eric soon realized how mistaken he was about the smooth running of the firm’s operations. The numerous complaints he was receiving from the salesmen in the field about the product information service showed him there were big problems within the organization. He recognized three general problems which were frequent and serious enough to command immediate attention and action. First, salesmen were unable to get through quickly to the information clerks, errors were excessive and clerks were often abrupt and unfriendly to salesmen when they called. As Eric attempted to find the reasons for these problems, he discovered more problems. Absenteeism and turn over were extremely high and when this occurred, temporary workers...

...Chemical Eric: A Clicker Case About the Complexity of Hormonal Control Eric Ribbens Department of Biological Sciences Western Illinois University Part I, Slide 1 A Promising Start He was, his mother always said, the cutest little boy ever, and she had always adored him. So strong, so sturdy, confidently charging through life. At 10, he joined a Little League baseball team and made the All-Star team in his first year. It wasn’t until quite some time later that she realized something was very wrong. Part I, Slide 2 Little League Looking back, probably the first symptom appeared when he was 11. Promoted up to the next division in Little League, he mostly sat on the bench. His coordination was not as good as it had been, and he seemed to have lost his hustle. Of course, it was probably just that he was being expected to do too much, and it was easy to overlook. And he began to grow. Part I, Slide 3 Growing Pains Soon he began to notice girls, but after an initial girlfriend or two, he retreated. Too shy, probably. They moved to a different town, and moved again to another state, and his grades slipped. He became more introverted. Troubled teen? Doing drugs? His mother found no evidence, but worried. And he grew. He turned 15, and he grew. He was getting close to 6' tall now, and was wearing size 13 shoes. He was skinny, weighing only 150 lbs. His right knee began to swell, and he developed mysterious ulcerated sores on his lower left leg that refused to heal...

...Eric Foner Second Summary In his chapter ‘Sixties Freedom’ Eric Foner argues about people’s transition of freedom from collective demands towards a more personal value beyond the public spectrum. Besides that, the human rights movement have expanded to different demographics such as white children, women and other minorities. For instance, Martin Luther King’s freedom movement centralizes on integration between races for the benefit of the nation in achieving the same national values. However, Malcolm X insisted black people to be independent and determine to fight for their rights, relying on one’s effort. Secondly, the War Poverty introduced by the Johnson Administration differs from the New Deal as it displayed interventions on a personal level. The denial of direct aid in eradicating poverty is replaced by long terms initiatives such as providing people with new skills, motivating through job training, education and giving access to community programs. Furthermore, the emergence of middle class white people known as The New Left narrowed its concerns regarding the institution from a psychological aspect; powerlessness. The Port Huron Statement emphasized, despite the democratic structure, we are powerless in determining the country’s direction. They sought a democracy that encourages individual participation and awareness that our share in social decision should not be obligated or distracted by the Cold War propaganda...

...The Berlin Wall (1961–1989) ------------------------------------------------- (1) The reasons the Soviets and the East German government had for erecting the Berlin Wall. Many Germans fled East Germany after the Soviet Union got their hands on them and tried to make it a communist country. It was so easy for people to cross the East and West Germany border and the communists in East Germany did not want their people to keep leaving so they erected the Berlin Wall to keep in the Germans and practice communism even if it meant separating families and friends. (2) Discuss the Wall’s elaborate fortifications. East Germany tried to put up the Berlin Wall as quickly as possible so that the West would not realize what’s happening until it’s already finished being built. The wall was armed with barbed wires, a hundred tanks, and approximately ten thousand East Germany soldiers guarding it. (3) Relate what happened when the East Germans tried to escape across the wall. When East Germans tried to escape the Berlin Wall to go over to the West, they often got caught or died trying to escape. Those who were caught got interrogated thoroughly. Many people tried to swim to West Germany but usually die trying. Others tried to jump the border and was met with instant death when they hit the concrete floor.
