...Egor Rakitin, 743 group The Text Analysis “Typhoon” The text under analysis is taken from the novel “Typhoon” belonging to the pen of American writer Theodore Dreiser. Despite the fact he was born in the USA and lived there, Theodore Dreiser wasn’t American in a true sense of this word. The Dreisers were an international family, for example his father was German and this fact had an impact on Dreiser’s works which were aimed at dispelling the myth of the “American Dream”. He treated the American world and its society negatively and attacked its false ideas, cutthroat competition and lack of responsibility. The extract from “Typhoon” pivots on the same idea shown through Ida Zobel’s life. Ida is a teenager who lives in the USA, in the family of immigrants from Germany. The author knows about the ordinary run of things in such families not by hearsay, that’s why he manages to provide the reader with the most significant feature of it in few expressions: “singularly restricted” and “indifferent”, “extremely reserved” and “orderly respect for labour and order”, narrow, sober, workaday Germans “. No emotions, no colours, no entertainment, no events – if you were a young girl would you enjoy such a style of life? Moreover Ida lives with her father, aunt and stepmother who seemingly have to take care of her from other teenagers because they are “restless, seeking” and all these features lead the degradation of the nation. And the Zobels are the representatives of the German nation...

HOW OFTEN DOES DRINKING PRECEDE THE COMMISSION OF CRIMES? The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, reviewed the role alcohol played in crime by looking at convicted offender data from 1996 (Greenfield, 1998). On an average day in 1996, an estimated 5.3 million convicted offenders were under the supervision of criminal justice authorities. Nearly 40% of these offenders, about two million, had been using alcohol at the time of the offense for which they were convicted. Whether the offender was on probation or was incarcerated in a local jail or a state prison, offenders were about equally likely to have been drinking at the time of the crime. What they consumed was similar, with beer being the most commonly used alcoholic beverage: 30 percent of probationers, 32 percent of jail inmates, and 23 percent of state prisoners said that they had been drinking...

...combining the thoughts of Heidegger and Sartre. I. Heidegger A. “The being of Dasein means ahead-of-itself-already-in (the-world) as being-alongside (entities encountered within-the-world)” This notion of Heidegger is clearly seen in the first part of movie. As we can see, the pattern of the movie is that Max, from the present state, somewhat rekindle everything (and the story starts) from the start until the couple died, back to the present again and somewhat gives a glimpse of the future. Although the pattern use by Heidegger is ordered as future, past and present, the pattern in the movie is present, past, present and future. This would be the plot of the movie as the director and the writers intended to do; yet in a deeper analysis, we can see also the care structure of Heidegger. In the middle of the story, Max has his “projection”, to use the term of Heidegger, of what will happen if the proposal of Evelyn, to put Will’s consciousness into a computer, would result into....

...Nowadays, brands are taking over the world we are living in, where the process that makes a product known by the consumers is very important. Depending on how the company presents the product to the public, the product can be perceived in a positive manner (which may include from the purchase of his to loyalty to it) or in a negative way (rejection ). Previous studies show that brands that are "imprinted" in consumers’ life are trying to create their own identity by calling on emotional and sentimental side, outlining, and thus people like a certain personality.

...Vanessa Gregorio English 21 01 March 2012 Death as his Muse: An Analysis on Thomas Gray’s ‘An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard’ The idea of death has always been an infamous concept. It has fascinated a lot of scholars, scientists, and artists alike, producing thousands of different theories and ideas trying to answer the mystery that surrounds such final and daunting thought. Death slowly crept up to the living and successfully immortalized itself in the form of ink on paper. As the field of literature ironically gave life to such pieces concerning death, one literary piece stood out because of its distinct qualities. Thomas Gray’s An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard exudes the exceptionality and the thought worth of a position in the canon of English Literature. Thomas Gray was born on 1716 in London, the only child out of eight who survived through adulthood. He studied in Eton College, where he met three of his most treasured friends: Horace Walpole, Thomas Ashton, and Richard West, all three of them coming from a wealthy family. After studying, he went on a Grand Tour of Europe, but had an unfortunate falling out with Walpole before the tour ended. Shortly after, the 24 year-old West died of tuberculosis (Koster.) These events were said to be the inspiration for the majority of Gray’s poems. After being a fellow for several universities for several years, Gray proceeded to live in Stoke Poges, where he stayed for the rest of his life until his death...

...terror groups increasing their diverse agendas. In addition to this increment, the need to develop new counter-terror campaigns became inevitable. Terrorism is an act of spreading brutality against the civilians with the aim of realizing political or aggressive goals. In the recent past, major continents have been terror victims, driven by different armed groups with various agendas. Defining terrorism is sometimes tricky. This is because they can be seen as freedom fighters to the natives but to the government or civilians, they are terrorists. More often than not, terrorists are driven by hatred that is passed through generations. What aspired towards the September attack towards the United States of America was perceived animosity between the Muslims in the Middle East and the Americans. In fact, the majority of the causalities were the Americans, while the terrorist were affiliated with al Qaeda. As mentioned earlier, what started as hatred against the Americans turned out to be a global catastrophe. The Western part of Africa is no exception, particularly in Nigeria. In the past decade, al Qaeda-affiliated group commonly referred to as the Boko Haram has been on the rampage in Nigeria. Boko Haram is drawn from The Hausa language, which roughly translates to western education or civilization is ungodly, sinful or prohibited. The overriding objective of this group is to create an Islamic state in the northern (International Crisis Group, 2010). Even though the group had initially...

...Community Project Teri Patterson Springfield College: Puerto Rico Analysis & Perspectives November 4, 2012 Introduction This paper will explore a proposed community project for the city of Hartford, CT. The project will be developed in coordination with the Connecticut Department of Correction and a community provider. The projects main goal is to provide a safe living environment for Latino gang members in the community once they discharge from prison. Agencies The major agency being targeted for this community project is the Connecticut Department of Correction. The CT DOC’s mission statement is as follows. “The Department of Correction shall protect the public, protect staff, and provide safe, secure, and humane supervision of offenders with opportunities that support restitution, rehabilitation and successful community reintegration.” The project is focused on the successful reintegration of offenders to the community. There was a recent report in the Hartford Courant that stated that 80% of adult males in the state of CT have been recidivists between 2005 and 2010. This number is staggering and every effort should be taken by both the department and community agencies to help this number to decrease. This project will focus on providing an opportunity for inmates in DOC who have been identified as having an affiliation with a primarily Latin gang such as the Latin Kings or Los Solidos. The inmates chosen for the program will have...

...Impact and Relationship of Substance Abuse and Child Maltreatment: Risk and Resiliency Factors What Research Tells Us Martha Morrison Dore, Ph.D. Columbia University School of Social Work 622 West 113th Street New York, New York 10027 212/854-5461 Paper prepared for presentation at the conference entitled “Protecting Children in Substance Abusing Families,” September 28, 1998, sponsored by the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare, University of Minnesota School of Social Work, Minneapolis, MN. Researchers are just beginning to demonstrate empirically what child protective services workers have been observing for nearly two decades now: many, if not most, families who come to the attention of the child welfare system are involved with drugs or alcohol or both. Founded cases of child abuse and neglect have risen exponentially since the mid-1980s, when the crack form of cocaine, a cheap, easily used form of the drug, became widely available. Studies conducted since that time have identified substance abuse as a contributing factor in 40% to 80% of substantiated cases of child maltreatment (Curtis & McCullough, 1993; Magura & Laudet, 1996; Murphy, Jellinek, Quinn, Smith, Poitrast, & Goshko, 1991). Further, studies of substance abusing parents have found child-rearing beliefs and attitudes that heighten risk for child abuse (Williams-Peterson et al., 1994), as well as elevated rates of first-time reports to child protective services (Jaudes & Ekwo, 1995), re-reports...

...Family/Living Situation – Koji Shannon Haskins, Jr. is a 23 year old unmarried Black male with two children. The children are the result of separate relationships. Mr. Haskins is the sole child born of the relationship between his mother and father, Johnnie Reese and Koji Haskins, Sr. Mr. Haskins was born and raised in Milwaukee. Though he has a close relationship with his mother, he did not enjoy a stable relationship with his father and never lived with him full-time. Mr. Haskins says of his relationship with his father, “I know who he is, but he ain’t been around.” The senior Haskins has spent much of his adult life in correctional custody for various property crimes. During the limited time that the senior Haskins was in the community, both Ms. Reese and Mr. Haskins says that the senior Haskins was rarely available, was not supportive of mother or child, and was usually quickly returned to correctional custody. Ms. Reese shared that she was the victim of physical and emotional violence at the hands of the senior Haskins. She ended that relationship as she understood the toll it took on her and her son’s safety. Afterward, she maintained a long-term relationship, who Mr. Haskins refers to as “step-dad.”...

...QUESTIONS ON HAPPINESS Classical topics, modern answers, blind spots Ruut Veenhoven ¹ in : F. Strack, M Argyle, & N. Schwarz (eds) 'Subjective wellbeing, an interdisciplinary perspective', Pergamon Press, 1991, London, pp 7-26 1. INTRODUCTION Happiness is a longstanding theme in Western thought. It came under scrutiny in the following three periods: (1) Antique Greek philosophy; (2) Post-Enlightenment WestEuropean moral philosophy, Utilitarianism in particular; and (3) Current Quality-of-Life research in the rich welfare states. Printed reflections on all this contemplation now fill a hundred meters of bookshelves. This paper takes stock of the progress made on seven classical topics. Are we now any wiser? Or is Dodge (1930) right in his contention that “the theory of the happy life has remained on about the same level that the ancient Greeks left it”? This inventory will differ from the usual review articles. The focus will not be on current technical research issues, but rather on the broader questions that prompted the enquiry. Furthermore, the aim is not only to enumerate advances in understanding, but also to mark the blind spots. The following issues will be considered: 1. What is happiness? 2. Can happiness be measured? 3. Is unhappiness the rule? 4. How do people assess their happiness? 5. What conditions favour happiness? 6. Can happiness be promoted? 7. Should happiness be promoted? These scientific issues do not emerge in a social vacuum, but are rooted in broader...
