...In essence, this meant that God would be present with his people in Jerusalem to protect them from the enemy (Roberts, 2010). Ahaz was still resistant to the words of Isaiah (Roberts, 2010). As a sign from God, Isaiah and his wife conceived a son and as a representation to Ahaz, Isaiah proclaimed that before this child could speak, the threat from Damascus and Israel would end, therefore Ahaz should remain patient (Roberts, 2010). Ahaz refused to heed the words of Isaiah and sought help from Tiglath-Pilesar to offer protection from the allies (Roberts, 2010). As a response from God, he appeared to Isaiah with a warning to his supporters (Roberts, 2010). His message was clear to not be fearful of the Assyrians but instead to fear God (Roberts, 2010). Although they were to fear God, they should lift him up and he would be their refuge and place of protection (Roberts, 2010). Because Ahaz was not a man of God, he worshipped Baal, participated in infant sacrifices, and was influenced by other pagan practices, he would not heed the warnings of Isaiah, a prophet of God (Youngblood, Bruce, & Harrison, 1995).

...” In summary, both Daedalus and Icarus deserved their price for attempting human flight. Thus, the essential moral in the myth The flight of Icarus and “Icarus’ Flight” is that freedom comes with a price. So, if Icarus has only heeded his father’s words and if he has stayed at the limit of human freedom in the air; then he would not have faced a calamitous price for both him and his father. This young man isn’t the only citizen that has experienced a catastrophic death. In like manner, hundreds of young adults all around the United States have died at a young age due to the fact that the minimum driving age in this country is 16. Since young adults are being handed a huge responsibility, some citizens who are careless or they do not heed their parent’s advice tend to misuse the independence of driving and end up in a life-threatening crash. Also, all crashes that involve in deaths could also affect loved ones, just like how Icarus’ death had a prodigious...

...The Pesky Goat Doña Josefina lived on the outskirts of Ciáles, a small town in the highlands of Puerto Rico. Her tiny house was as spotless as a porcelain teacup. Although she lived alone, except for her dog, Ladrón, and her cat, Misifú, Doña Josefina was too busy to ever be lonely. She spent all her waking moments tending her beloved garden. Doña Josefina was known throughout the island for her mano santa--the blessed hand that turned all plants she touched into breathtaking specimens of splendrous color and robust good health. In the garden, she grew prize-winning roses and orchids, hibiscus and hydrangea, and dozens of jewel-colored flowers that grow only in the tropical climate of the lush Caribbean Islands. The garden air was forever perfumed with the scent of roses and honeysuckle. Since Doña Josefina had no children of her own, she watched over her garden as a mother watches over her children. Each of her flowers was precious to her. She thanked God daily for the gift of being the caretaker of such a delightful paradise. During the day, her paradise attracted butterflies and hummingbirds, bees and ants, and nightingales whose song was as sweet and pure as the water from a secret spring. At night, the garden attracted worms and toads and coquíes, tiny Puerto Rican tree frogs. One unfortunate night, the garden paradise also attracted a pest. The next morning, Doña Josefina noticed, much to her distress, that...

...Use of Family Therapy in Substance Abuse Treatment In the United States substance abuse disorders are growing in epidemic proportions today. Treatment options used to be on an individual case rather than focusing on everyone involved, which would include family members. Family counseling is coming to the forefront to help everyone involved in substance abuse cases with the hope that drug use can be reduced or that they will sustain got the long haul. When individual counseling for substance abuse switches to an emphasis on family, professionals need to heed caution with ethical principles. Whittinghill (2002), states that “many substance abusing individuals are homeless. Professionals need to heed caution to ethical principles because many times they are not in contact with living family members, are single, or their only next of kind has passed away. With this being said, professionals are at a greater risk for violating ethical practices if they do not have a family member reading available. They need to look at the bigger picture and include significant others as a source of the client’s family as well. A person cannot be denied treatment because they do not fit into the counseling prototype. This also applies if the client cannot afford to pay for those services provided. Beneficence is terms of counseling means that there is a pledge to do what is good and best for the group or client. Many times those that provide services to families dealing with substance...

...Through books IX and XII of The Odyssey, Homer has highlighted one of Odysseus’ most eminent tragic flaws: hubris, better known as having a copious amount of pride. One such instance where Odysseus’ self-confidence shone was in book IX, where Odysseus defeated the Kyklops, Polyphemus, and escaped from his cave. As he sails off the island, Odysseus continues to taunt the beast from his ship, and the shipmates- in exasperation- beg Odysseus to stop. However, Odysseus “would not heed them in [his] glorying spirit/ [he] let his anger flare and yelled/ ‘Kyklops,/ if ever a mortal man inquire/ how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him/ Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye’” (Homer 9. 540-550). Throughout this passage, Homer uses many powerful words and phrases that exhibit Odysseus’ pride....

...unrealistic to expect therapists and counselors to avoid all dual relationships (Pope & Vasquez, 2011). Others believe that multiple relationships are harmful and should be avoided at all time to avoid dilemmas down the road (Nickel, 2004). Patients may feel more comfortable with seeking treatment from a therapist they know already from a preexisting relationship and therefore see no ethical issue with consulting with them. Patients may believe that their other relationship with the therapist will not be compromised and that the therapist will be more nurturing and attentive because of their preexisting relationship. A therapist may believe that a client will be more receptive to their advice because of their preexisting relationship and heed their opinions and accept their treatment. The danger is that dual relationships are hard to maintain and keep expectations separate. The roles between the therapist and client cannot merge or be influenced by other relationships the two share. The more levels of relationships that are crossed, the more detrimental it may be for the client and therapist. An example would be a therapist that treats his brother-in-law,...

...ordinary desires of a queen. She wanted to raise a family and revel in its pleasures. She was happy and contented when she married Oedipus and he was able to provide her with four children. She does love him, prays for his well being, tries to pacify him while he is in great conflicts but her suggestions and advises are not given much priority by Oedipus. Oedipus keeps on investigating about Laius’ murder and his own parentage even when Jocasta expresses her distrust regarding the prophecies and advises him not to go into the depth of the things. She tries her best to stop Oedipus from seeking the truth but she is not paid any heed by Oedipus and he continues with his inquires. This shows her inferior position in the eyes of Oedipus. We see her surrendering to the will of Oedipus finding him determined to know about his parentage and not paying any heed to her advises. So, she exits saying, “God help you! This is all that I can say to you- now or ever.” Even after many attempts she was not able to convince Oedipus on any matter. As a woman of patriarchal society, she is...

...James bond Mrs. simmons 05/04/2013 Loyalist or Rebel During the Mid seventeen hundreds some colonists, know as the rebels, started to question the British parliament. The British parliament did not treat the colonist equally as those that lived in England. The British parliament would impose taxes and laws that the colonists did not favor which would lead to riots like the Boston Massacre and eventually the American Revolution. But, what started it all was “taxation without representation”, as most colonists would put it. The colonists did not want to part from mother England. All they wanted was to be treated equally as the citizen that lived in England. But, England did not heed their cry and imposed more taxes. Taxes were imposed on everyday items such as stamps, tea, paper, glasses, etc., this was known as the revenue act. Most, colonists did not approve of this and some formed groups that boycotted British goods. One of these famous groups is the Son of Liberty, lead by Samuel Adams, in Massachusetts. To stop these boycotting issues more troops were requested by Massachusetts’s governor, Thomas Hutchinson. More soldiers came, but this only made things worse. On March 5, 1770 the Boston Massacre took place. In this massacre only 5 people were killed, which isn’t really a massacre. The Boston Massacre broke out because little kids where throwing snowballs at the British customs guard. And soon a large crowd gathered around and started rioting. The guard called for...
