...still in morn. My father's death came as to a shock to me. He was a great man who led and served his country well. He died of means, which are unknown, which leaves me curious on the manner. As I am soaked from head to toe in these inky-covered clothes, I sit and contemplate. It has been one month since and my father's brother; Claudius is to be wedded with my mother. Is it possible that my mother is finished grieving? I know that there is no time put on such a feeling, but one month! Can it be true? Father was a good King; loyal, trusting and good at heart. Does my mother realize? Has she, herself been shocked with the tragedy that our family has encountered? And what is this about Claudius? I mean, his Brother! One month and these two are ready for the incest within marriage. Claudius is acting with haste. I do understand the position on which now lies upon him, but what I don't understand is how could they be already in love so soon after my very father’s death?! I shall keep my eyes open, as I keep these clouds above my head. 2nd Entry; My father’s back from the dead! Could it be true? Does my father lie in purgatory? Why does he lay unrest? Does Horatio speak the truth? He is such the scholar, but does his eyes deceive him? I shall go and look for myself! 3rd Entry; It is true! My father has chosen to show to warn me about the unfaithful deeds. MURDERED! Claudius, that swine. Plague upon him. With his murderous intentions, he shall feel the rage, which my father unleashes upon...

...the ideal father should be the child’s hero, inspiration, and role model. The characteristics of a dad should be trustworthy, honest, protective, and fun. A father to a young boy should portray what a man should be and made of. A father to young girl should show her how a man should treat a woman, and should be the first man she falls in love with. The father in a child’s life should also be supportive in any and everything the child does. In my opinion a good role model as a father would be Daniel Gibson. He is a good role model because he puts his child first and everything else second. Like when his wife Keyshia had a false alarm and he left his basketball game to go be with her at the hospital. Or like when Daniel lost the playoffs he stated he was kind of happy because now he has more time with Keyshia and Daniel Jr. In my opinion that is what a good father does. On the other hand a bad role model to me is Joe Jackson. I think he was a bad role model because he thought having money and fame was more important than his children’s own dreams and interests. Also, because he took his owns dreams and forced them on his children even if the children wanted something else. He has stated many of times that money and shows and fame was the most important…even more important than SCHOOL! He also took whooping and showing discipline to his children took an extreme where he not only hurted them dangerously in a physical high but also an emotionally high. To me this is what a bad father...

...Euthyphro By Plato（Written 380 B.C.E） Euthyphro. Why have you left the Lyceum, Socrates? and what are you doing in the Porch of the King Archon? Surely you cannot be concerned in a suit before the King, like myself? Socrates. Not in a suit, Euthyphro; impeachment is the word which the Athenians use. Euth. What! I suppose that some one has been prosecuting you, for I cannot believe that you are the prosecutor of another. Soc. Certainly not. Euth. Then some one else has been prosecuting you? Soc. Yes. Euth. And who is he? Soc. A young man who is little known, Euthyphro; and I hardly know him: his name is Meletus, and he is of the deme of Pitthis. Perhaps you may remember his appearance; he has a beak, and long straight hair, and a beard which is ill grown. Euth. No, I do not remember him, Socrates. But what is the charge which he brings against you? Soc. What is the charge? Well, a very serious charge, which shows a good deal of character in the young man, and for which he is certainly not to be despised. He says he knows how the youth are corrupted and who are their corruptors. I fancy that he must be a wise man, and seeing that I am the reverse of a wise man, he has found me out, and is going to accuse me of corrupting his young friends. And of this our mother the state is to be the judge. Of all our political men he is the only one who seems to me to begin in the right way, with the cultivation of virtue in youth; like a good husbandman, he...

...and he is prosecuting his father for murder. This sparked curiosity in Socrates as he sees Euthyphro as a rare person prosecuting his father in the name of religion. He then questions what piety is and what is impiety? This question takes a prominent position in the conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro because Socrates always had questions about religion. Secondly, Socrates was being prosecuted for creating his own from of religion which he now questions the validity of piety and impiety. Lastly, Socrates questions Euthyphro’s thought process of him prosecuting his own father in the name of religion which led up to the prominent position between Socrates and Euthyphro. Euthyphro uses three main definitions on what are piety and impiety, and each time Socrates challenges Euthyphro’s thought process on each definition. The first definition that Euthyphro uses is based on the fact that he is prosecuting his father. Euthyphro’s argument was that everyone that does wrong should be punished no matter who does it. Euthyphro justifies his definition by using an example of how Zeus punished his own father, Cronos, in a similar fashion. Socrates says that prosecuting his father was only a mere example of a pious deed and there are other deeds that are noble and pious, therefore his question still remains unanswered. Furthermore, Socrates required a general definition on what is piety and what is impiety....

..."My Papa's Waltz" ENG/125 March 28, 2011 "My Papa's Waltz" My Papa’s Waltz is a fairly straightforward poem written in iambic triameter. The last word of the first and third line of each quatrain rhyme as does the last word of the second and fourth line. This poem is a reflection of an event in the life of a little boy, and because of the rhyming style of poem, it is clear it is written from a child’s perspective. The little boy recalls an experience dancing a waltz with his father in their home. Although there are many opinions circulating about whether or not his was a positive experience, I think it was. I think this is a memory of a small boy cavorting with his father. The first stanza tells the reader that the father has had perhaps too much whiskey to drink. The boy says that the smell of his father’s breath made him dizzy. This must mean that the boy is very familiar with his father in this drunken state. This does not necessarily mean that the boy was traumatized by this event, just simply that he knows his father has had some whiskey to drink. He recalls that he had to hang on tight and that it was not easy for him to hold on to his father during this waltz. The waltz is typically a slow ballroom dance in three-quarter time that give the impression that the dancers are gliding around the room. The boy’s dance with his father is hardly gliding around a room considering the boy says he “hung on like death” (Barnet, Burto, & Cain, 2011, p. 786). ...

...other members of the family first shape themselves, and how they gradually become more serious and more intimate; how friendships are formed and broken. We are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled to shoulder the burden. Of all these things we have a description at once so charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists. "It is certainly incumbent on you to publish the diary. All students of my own writings will be grateful to you." In preparing these pages for the press, the editor has toned down nothing, has added...

...that salvation means being saved from yourself or the devil. But that is not accurate. All who have sinned against God are under the judgment of God. This judgment is known as damnation where God condemns to eternal hell all those who have offended Him by breaking His Law. I knew God's law and what God wants us to do when we are here on earth. As i started to travel the world I started doing somethings in my life it makes me believed that life on earth is not only what many people think today, that is what i call the 2M the money and the materials, that makes the many people says that they are satisfied in what they do and what they believed but, some people don 't think about the salvation that is very important and essential to one's life soon. In my life experience, honestly I cant say that I'm save from my summit sins but i can say that God truly makes a way for us to be save. I was part of a youth ministry before and that organization really helps me to understand more about the importance of salvation. i had proved to my self that salvation may be in many ways like for example sacrifices, a person, a song, a documentary, or in t.v. Salvation in my life experienced is a sacrifice because before i made a lots of mistakes though i know that i can offend God through my doings but god really wants me to be save. Many people told me that the death of my father without any signs that he is going to say goodbye to us has a purpose in God and what I am thinking...

...Case study: Jabulane is a fifteen (15) year old boy from an unstable family; has an alcoholic father with an unstable job and an unemployed mother. He also has a younger sibling and developing personality issues, struggling to focus at school due to all this circumstances he is faced with at home. Introduction Assessment is the second step in the planned change process which involves “acquiring and understanding of a problem, what causes it and what can be changed to minimize or resolve it” (Barker, 2003. p. 30). Assessment is a continuous activity and has to be done throughout the process of assisting clients in resolving their problems. After a problem as been identified, the social worker evaluates the problem situation within the environment because the problem does not only involve the individuals and their families but also the larger communities and systems in which the people live in. When all the necessary data has been collected, the social worker and the client system have to participate in specificactivities that leads to solving the identified problem and these activities has to be clearly stated by the social worker. In this report, I will critically discuss and outline the process of assessment, how I, the social worker, together with the client system will minimize or resolve the problem and also the measures taken in resolving the problem. How to approach assessment Information about the identified problem or situation needs to be gathered, analysed and...

...daily rely on in my own life: Hope, and the names of God. I use both of these in my life to give me confidence in my future, as well as faith, that Christ is all I need. If more Christians were confident in understanding the importance of the names of God and the meaning of hope, there would be much less discouragement from big and small issues of our lives. Part One: There are countless names of Christ written in the Bible and each one is there to show both the nature and character of Christ. “These names, however, refer to various aspects of the second Person of the Trinity, sometimes emphasizing His deity, at other times emphasizing His humanity. Some of these names reflect His character, while others emphasize various aspects of His work.” There are disagreements on exactly how many names of Christ are mentioned in the Bible, however, a list created by T. C. Horton and Charles E. Hurlburt contained over three hundred fifty names characterizing Christ from the Bible. For me personally, the names of Christ bear a special importance. All of the names of Christ prove He is everything we as christians could ever need or want. He is the only One who can be the Son of God, while at the same time fully be the Son of man who is our sinless Creator. A very personal practical application for me originates from my favorite name of Christ: Everlasting Father. The name Everlasting Father proves that He is the only One who will never let me down or leave me. He has a permanent...

Queen: He was acting crazy! He was mad as hell. He apparently heard something behind the curtains and thought it was a rat so he pulled out his knife and stabbed it. The rat turned out to be Polonius! King: What?! Well, well, well.. what should we do now?! We were supposed to keep an eye on him and now look what happened… We can’t let anyone know about this. Where is he? Queen: He took the Polonius’s body with him. But please don’t be too harsh on him. He’s my only son. I think he regrets what he has done. King: Gertrude, you don’t understand. We need to send Hamlet away before anyone finds out about this. Rosencrantz! Guildenstern! Come in! [Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN] Listen to me, you two.

...authority do not necessarily have the expertise to put them in position to advise. And so, not minding this, we as consumers of products accept what the person in authority stands for. An example is when an athlete becomes the official spokesperson for a beer company. People tend to drink the same beer the person in authority is drinking in the advert because they believe if the athlete is drinking this beer, then it must be good. People in authority influence some of our thinking and decision making. But that does mean what is good for them is good for us. 2. BANDWAGON: This fallacy of accepting others’ opinion; people want to do what the majority are doing not because it is the right thing to do based on rational thinking, but because it is what a famous group is doing, therefore it must be right. An example was when I was younger, a particular purse was advertised and almost every kid at school had it, I did not feel good being different from other children. So, I cried my eyes out till my parents bought me the same purse. Having the purse made me feel like I belonged to the famous group at school and I liked it. But the truth is as an adult, I know better not to do what everyone is doing just because they are doing it. Everyone is doing it, does not mean it is the right thing to do. I have my own mind to critically rationalize my decisions based on important reasoning now as an adult. 3. APPEAL TO PITY: I have experienced a lot of this fallacy thinking. Reasons to support...

...formed this impression because of my childhood experience of observing my father’s attitude toward work. Everyday my father would come home and complain about his boss, co-workers, and work. He made me think that work is drudgery and he only needed to do it just because he has a family to support. This idea strengthened within me as I grew up, hearing him berate his employers all the time. However, my impression about work has changed as I have been exposed the working world. I started to understand the nature of having a job. It is totally different than what my father had portrayed it. In fact, I have come to realize that having a job is not just about having the means to earn a living but also as a means to maximize one's potential. According to Harding Lawrence "Don't set compensation as a goal. Find work you like, and the compensation will follow" (Career-Success-for-Newbies). Lawrence has aptly summed up what people should aim for when looking for a career. A career should be something that brings satisfaction. Higher pay is welcome; however, if the job does not pay much as others, the person who is doing it must not complain as my father did because he enjoys doing it. For example, I work part time in the English Language Program department. I deal with international students and I have gained a lot of knowledge about their cultures and countries. I do not get a lot of money from this job but I enjoy it because I use this knowledge in my future career, which is International...
