[pic] Table of Contents Introduction - 2 - The initial consideration of what my vocation should be - 2 - An informed exploration of my vocation involves: - 7 - A critical reevaluation of the vocation I have ideated - 11 - A purposeful plan to help me achieve my vocational plan - 14 - References - 17 - Introduction The aim of this project is to envisage and test my vocation plan. In order to achieve that, in this paper, I will first conduct a close analysis of my vocation decision with reference to my personal profile. Afterwards, a relevant research including literature review and interviews of people who undertake similar professions will be carried out to examine if the vocation meets my expectation. Finally, after considering potential impediments and strengths, a strategic and purposeful plan of helping realizing my vocation will be made. It should be noted that finding one’s vocation could be a lifelong process. The vocation decided in this paper is based on the knowledge, experience and thoughts I possess at present stage. Therefore, the possibility of radical changing should be allowed. The initial consideration of what my vocation should be According to Weber, vocation refers to a commitment to a specialist area of work that the individual engages with in terms that almost equate with religious zeal (1958). Before I took this course,...

...Health Alliance, 2013). Dogs are the most common household pets in Australia, which has approximately 4.2 million pet dogs (Animal Health Alliance, 2013). However, dog aggression is the most common pet dogs’ behavior problem and it causes a major public health problem in Australia (Voelker, 1997; Schalamon, 2006). According to the Annual Urban Animal Management Conference (2013), average 14,000 Australians are injured due to dog attack each year and about 1,400 of those injuries required medical treatment or hospitalization. Over sixty percent of dog attacks occurred at home, which means an owner or household-members have a higher possibility to be victimized in a dog attack. Over the last three decades, numerous of researches have been indicated that owner attachment levels and dog characteristics are the major factors leading to aggressive responses in pet dogs (Borchelt, 1983; Landsberg, 1991; Hunthausen, 1997; Hsu and Sun, 2010). Although these findings provide evidence for the link between owner-dog interaction and the aggressive behavior problem in pet dogs, surprisingly little research has examined the link between pet dogs-directed aggression in human and the controlling behavior in a relationship. To redress this imbalance, it is important to explore the connection between pet dogs aggressive behavior and domestic violence. Aims and Objectives The aims of this present study are to explore the connection between human directed aggression by pet dogs and controlling behavior...

...Evers College PSYC 215-Theories of Personality Professor Maureen D. Jarus April 27, 2012 A personality theory is a system of concepts, assumptions, ideas and principles proposed to explain different personalities. Personality theorist seek to explain human behavior in terms of inner causes, instincts, feelings of inferiority, needs, conditions of worth, intentions, and so forth. In this research paper, I will be exploring both behaviorist theory, as well as the Trait theory in trying to understand serial killer Wayne Bertram Williams. Behavioral Theories The Behaviorist theory places importance on the external environment, and on the effects of conditioning and learning. Ivan Pavlov was the first psychologist to discover and explore this theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. He demonstrated this form of learning which became known as “classical conditioning” in an experiment with dogs. He would place a small amount of meat on a dogs tongue, and after continuing to do this many times, the canines would salivate before they were giving the food. Before long, the dogs would begin to salivate as soon as Dr. Pavlov would enter the room. He realized that this was a reflex, whereas one stimulus will be followed by another r stimulus, because the two stimuli occurred close together. This reinforced that behavior can be attributed to experience. B.f. Skinner on the other hand, argued that most behavior is learned through “operant conditioning”, wherein the human...

...for humanity. According to USCCB article, “For an individual act to be morally good, the object, or what we are doing, must be objectively good. Some acts, apart from the intention or reason for doing them, are always wrong because they go against a fundamental or basic human good that ought never to be compromised.” This will be my main thesis as I explain these complied footages. In the beginning of the video, we can sense how a man foresees that something bad will happen once the dog roams around or plays when the elevator opens. The owner tried to pull the dog inside, but she is too old to grip the rope tighter. So, when the door closes, the dog’s rope got stuck in the door, pulling up the body of the dog as it elevates. The man suddenly cuts the rope to save the dog’s life; others just stared at the dog, “thinking” of how they can help. Well, we can’t judge them because they are nonplussed at the moment. But, let’s critic this part of the film and relate it to moral act, so based on my research Moral act has three things to consider, these...

...Archives of Sexual Behavior in 2009. The focus of their research is on the subject of people who actually prefer to have sex with animals, in this case horses, instead of other people. As far as the hypothesis, apparently these same authors had previously published an article describing people who are into bestiality as being very rare. In this article they are doing a case study on a male who is different than widely held stereotype of the not very bright country bumpkin having sex with barnyard animals. They are also presenting a lot of information on the subject from a large group of people on the internet who are into bestiality. They recant their previous opinion in the prior article stating it was rare. They now say that it is a lot more prevalent than it was earlier thought. After their initial article they had a lot o anonymous people from the internet chiming in about this subject. They could not verify any of the information except for one guy who called himself possum. They also include in their article the info from some other case studies involving people from the internet. One included 82 men and 11 women who admitted to sex with animals. The average age was 38 and about half of them had graduated from college. There were two other studies cited in this work that used similar people, one with 113 men and 3 women, this time predominantly sex with dogs and another with 114 men of around 27 years old and 83% graduated college. It appears that the method...

...INTERNET MINIATURE PINSCHER SERVICE (IMPS) DC METRO REGION LET'S SAVE MORE MINIATURE PINSCHERS Proposal to Update IMPS Maximum Intake Age William L. Harris Jr, IMPS Regional Coordinator DC, DE, MD, VA, WV 12/13/2014 Informative Abstract: This proposal is the result of research into the effects of the current Internet Miniature pinscher Service policy restricting the intake age limit of five for rescues. The current policy is in effect from a time in the past when money was tight and vet bills were high. The proposal highlights three possible courses of action including maintaining the status quo, changing the limit to seven years and replacing the age limit with a percentage based system to identify how many seniors can be taken in. The author identifies multiple ideas that can be used to bring the veterinary costs down while at the same time allowing more dogs to be rescued. Of the three Courses of Action, only one works today, which is the increase to seven, but there is a way forward highlighted that could eventually result in a removal of the age limit and conversion to a percentage based senior intake system.

...Catherine Murray Research Paper Jack London Jack London was a great American writer, author, and journalist in the nineteenth century. He was born John Griffith Chaney, in San Francisco, California. London worked in the Klondike for a few years and then began to write and publish books and stories. His books became very successful which made him one of the most popular authors of the nineteenth century. Jack grew up in a hard working-class. He pretty much paved out the way for his own life and success. He rode trains, worked on oyster ships, shoveled coal, and found employment in a cannery. These experiments inspired him in writing some of his stories, as he really enjoyed to read and write at libraries in his free time. His writing career basically began in 1893, the year that he went out on a sealing voyage in which him and his crew almost got taken out by a typhoon. Jack London’s writing career started off by his mother encouraging him to submit one of his stories to one of the local newspapers for a writing contest. Jack was 17 at the time and even though he only had an eighth grade education, he had won the first prize of twenty-five dollars, and had beat college students from Stanford and Berkley. After this experience, he decided that he would begin to dedicate his life to writing short stories, but he had a difficult time finding publishers. He then enrolled at the University of California Berkeley, but only for a brief time before he traveled north to Canada...

...frustration with students who feel that using the information on the computer is the way to an easy passing grade. However, I also can see where a little guidance from her will go a long way toward helping these students sort through and discover the pieces of information that will help them. Students look to their teachers to guide them. Many schools and teachers have not realized that there is a variety of ways students can access information over the internet. According to a study conducted by the American Institutes for research, “Students report that there is a substantial disconnect between how they use the Internet for school and how they use the Internet during the school day and under teacher direction.” (Levine and Arafeh, p. ii) There is no doubt that the students encountered by Ms. Levine and her contemporaries will continue to turn in sub-standard work without guidance from them on what is a quality piece of research and what is a “dog” (Levine, p. 223). As an older student, I recall the days...

...written many successful children’s books but wanted to pursue a new path, so Haddon set out to write a new book to please this new desire. He did not know this book was going to turn out to be about a fifteen year-old autistic boy. Haddon, known for his children’s books, was highly recognized for his most recent piece of literature, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and received multiple awards, but was mostly heavily criticized for the piece of literature. These criticisms are still present and haunt the novel. Mark Haddon was born September 26, 1962 in Northampton, England. Marathon canoeing, writing, and abstract painting are his biggest passions. During his early career he used to assist patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Autism, and worked many other part-time jobs, including a theater box office and a mail-order business. Haddon obtained a formal education at Merton College, Oxford, and Edinburgh University. Haddon also worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for many periodicals. One of his most famous cartoon strips is one called “Men a User’s Guide”. He also wrote several children’s television series, like Microsoap, and Starstreet. But, he is most famous for his children’s books, especially his most recent piece The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. His most recent piece has won several awards and is popular amongst all age groups, even though it was intended to be a novel pointed towards adults. Haddon says in an interview with Dave Weich...

...from the resident and then the state will take the child into custody until a foster home can be provided. The state cam hold the child for a period up to six months. Depending on the crime some parents will have to undergo certain steps to prove to the state that they are trying to clean up their act, The list of things that the parents/guardians may be required to take are drug treatment, family counseling, and anger management. Some other things that may be required are life skill classes and even having to take parenting classes. This is where the Social learning theory come into play, The Department of Job and Family Services made reference to the social learning theory as providing support for this approach, as evidenced by research indicating that “aggressive children have parents who use similar tactics when dealing with others. For example, the children of wife batterers are more likely to use aggressive tactics themselves than children in the general population, especially if the...

Tossups 1. One character by this name was a son of Zeus and Niobe who succeeded Apis as king of Phoronea. Another had the labors of freeing Arcadia and killing Satyr, while a third is seen "lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung" and could not get up to greet those entering. After one of those figures was slain his 100 most famous attributes were placed on the tails of peacocks, as Hera had previously entrusted him to watch Io with his many eyes. The brother of Cerberus and the dog of Odysseus share, For 10 points, what namesake with the builder of Jason's ship? ANSWER: Argos or Argus 2. The First Battle of Acentejo occurred here in 1494 and was a setback for Fernández de Lugo's attempts at colonization, which were begun when the 1474 Treaty of Alcáçova had ceded this place to Isabel of Castile. Antonio de Viana wrote an epic ode to the aboriginal natives of this place, and one of his works provides the name of Mount Teide, which is the highest point in its entire country. Secondary landmasses here include * Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gomera, and La Palma, while its largest component is named Tenerife. Their name is in fact derived from a fierce breed of dogs known as the Presa, and not from their famous yellow avians. For...
