...America more farmland, double its size, and it helped the population grow. The Westward Expansion Migration was an important part of America's history because it expanded America’s border. Some of the people involved in the Westward Expansion Migration were John L.O’Sullivan, Lucinda Brown, and Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, both played an important part in the westward expansion migration. Despite their different personalities, they were appointed by Thomas Jefferson to go on an expedition. Simultaneously Lewis and Clark went on a two thousand mile expedition. Lewis and Clark were chosen by Thomas Jefferson because of their knowledge and experience. They went on an expedition to explore and discover the land bought in the Louisiana Purchase. Together they discovered the path of the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail was the path in which 7 million people migrated to the west on....

...In 2010, Climatologists Anny Cazenave and William Llovel stated that “recent acceleration in glacier melting and ice mass loss from the ice sheets” (Cazenave, 145) can be linked directly to an increase in global temperature. Their paper deducts that since water expands when it is warner, the ocean should also expand when it is warmer, in turn causing an overall increase in sea levels around the world. Section “2.2. Altimetry Era” states that “due to global deformation of ocean basins … we thus get a rate of global mean sea level rise of 3.4 ± 0.4 mm [per pear]” (Cazenave, 145). Cazenave later explains that the data was gathered through Topex/Poseidon, a satellite launched in August of 1992 by a joint satellite agency between the French and the Unites States of America. On board, it was equipped with only two onboard altimeters that sharing the same antenna. Nevertheless, during...

...The voyage lasted around twenty-eight months, and its group traveled around eight thousand miles. Throughout the expedition, the group interacted with Native Americans, animals, and plants; its two leaders documented all information in their journals, which were to be read by Jefferson. Albeit a “Northwest Passage” wasn’t discovered, the expedition provided priceless information about wildlife, terrain, and indigenous inhabitants of the far Western territories. After researching the extensive journey and its profound contributions to our understanding of the American West, I wish I had been a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition since it was a tremendous journey of exploration, discovery, and adventure (the hike of a lifetime?). It would have been a chance to explore the immensity of uncharted territory and encounter new cultures and tribes. The expedition was a turning point since it opened up vast areas of America’s West to settlement and provided valuable knowledge about the geography and biology of the region. It also laid the groundwork for westward expansion, which is also a tragic development since it hurt Native American...

...Disorder Specific Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Interventions – WHM-M-030 Introduction The purpose of the paper is to discuss the current theory and empirical literature for using a transdiagnostic approach in cognitive behaviour therapy and it’s relevance in current practice. I will discuss the theory and evidence for using a transdiagnostic approach and highlight the main processes. A discussion on the strengths and limitations of the approach will conclude the first part of the paper. The second part will be a review of personal clinical work discussing the transdiagnostic process and its hypothesised effectiveness. To conclude the author will provide a personal reflection. There has been a long widely accepted claim for the effectiveness of CBT with prolific amount of evidence for it’s effectiveness for Depression, Anxiety and Mood disorders (Roth & Fongy, 1995) Models such as cognitive therapy for depression (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979), panic disorder (Clark, 1986,), posttraumatic stress disorder (Clark & Ehlers, 2004); and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Salkovskis, 1989) have led to disorder-specific interventions for treating common mental health problems. The benefits of devising a model on specific disorders is the high degree of research and comparable data involved; from that the therapist will be highly trained in the use of the model to deliver the approach for each disorder (Salkovskis 2002). Disorder specific models are seen to be easily delivered...

...Women in Psychology Paper PSY/310- History and Systems of Psychology September 16, 2012 Laura Rolen Like women, members of minority groups have been on the outside looking in for most of psychology’s history. Unlike the case for women, however, significant gains for blacks and most other minorities were not made in the years following World War II, and minorities continue to be underrepresented in psychology (Goodwin & Wiley & Sons inc., Chapter 15, 2008). In this paper I will be discussing Mary Whiton Calkins (1863-1930), Calkins was an American philosopher and she was the first of her generation of women to enter into psychology. Calkins was born on March 30, 1963 in Hartford, Connecticut she was the eldest of five children who were born to Charlotte Whiton Calkins (mother) and Wolcott Calkins (father). Calkins father was a Presbyterian minister her and her siblings lived and grew up in Buffalo New York, and at the age of 17-years-old her and her family moved to Newton, Massachusetts. Calkins started taking college classes at Smith College in 1882 where she was a...

...The Tall-Tall Tale of William Faulkner Gavin D. Respress ENG 1102 Troy University The Tall-Tall Tale of William Faulkner The brilliant author William Faulkner stood only five feet, six inches tall, but he is enormous in size in relations to American literature. Faulkner was a prominent writer from the state of Mississippi, who became a Nobel Prize winning novelist and an excellent short story writer who is admired worldwide as one of the best writers of the twentieth century. He is giving credit for transforming the deep-south region of Mississippi in to a fictional setting, where he explained, tested and explored “the old verities and truths of the heart.” In less than a decade, Faulkner accomplished more artistically than most writers have accomplish in their entire lifetime. In fact, his greatest creative triumph is during the period of The Sound and the Fury in 1929 to Go Down, Moses in 1942. This essay will discuss how William Faulkner became a legend of American literature, writing a series of novels, in spite of never graduating from high school or attending college, while living in the poorest state in America and balancing a large family and financial setbacks during the Great Depression. William Faulkner was the first of four sons born to Murry and Maud Butler Falkner in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. His parents named him after his great-grandfather who was killed eight years prior in a battle in the streets with a former business...

Introduction and goal of the Project This research will be concentrating on using gentrification indicators as a framework to examine and analyse changes to predict the gentrification within community neighbourhoods, to find a solution for an investment company to find an area, which has a potential to become gentrified. The objectives of this programme is to establish and point out the factors influencing gentrification within any town in the world, in this case in United Kingdom, that may be going through gentrification process – changes that result when wealthier people acquire or rent property in low income and working class communities (Grant, 2003). The research needs to be carried out to establish what factors cause gentrification, to examine demographic shifts, how to control gentrification etc...There are two wider areas with main issues that we need to be concentrating, when researching gentrification: Production-supply of 'gentrifiable' property; the workings of housing and land markets; spatial flows of capital and the 'rent-gap'; role of public and private finance; 'uneven development' (Slater, 2000). Consumption- The characteristics of the 'pool of gentrifiers'; 'new middle-class' ideology; consumer demand and consumption practices; (counter) cultural politics; the roles of race, gender and sexuality; education, occupational...

...by having a separate writing block the students’ scores will increase not only in reading but also writing because according to the National Council of Teachers of English “one way to help students become better writers is to make sure they have lots of extended time to read, in school and out. Most research indicates that the easist way to motivation The teachers understand just as Pamela Zinkosky does that “writing has many side benefits, especially when included in a well-rounded curriculum. Here are just a few of them: • Individuality. Writing is, by nature, personal and individual. It forces children to use their own words to express their own thoughts and feelings. In a world of peer pressure and sameness, elementary grades through high school writing is a valuable way for students to nurture individuality and deal with younger kids' and teenagers' issues. • Self-expression. Writing can be a way for children to express problems or feelings that they wouldn’t otherwise express. It provides an alternate means for communication that can liberate them from embarrassment, shame or fear that may cause them to keep feelings to themselves. • Independent thinking. Roy Peter Clark, teacher and journalist, says that learning to write also means learning to think. “The writing process gives students a path for clear thinking,” he says. “The act of writing involves understanding the world and yourself. Young writers must think independently and respond to criticism of their work...

...order to provide sufficient care to all individuals. Nurses have to be able to provide medical needs to all types of people, regardless of personal beliefs and customs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevance of diversity and nursing including the significance it can have on patients receiving nursing care, problems with the low minority population in nursing, and a summary of the generational aspect of diversity in nursing. Importance of Diversity in the Workplace Across the nation, as the diversity of the population persistently expands, it is paramount the nursing workforce mirrors this evolvement to “effectively meet patient care needs and ensure cultural competency” (Mason, Leavitt, & Chaffee, 2014, p. 378). One important reason for nurses to study the effect of diversity is to improve the community and help promote the need for social change. There is a connection between the absence of variation in the workplace and health inconsistencies. If more nurses were to work with the indigent and minority populations, this “improves access among underrepresented groups” and would help with the discrepancy in health care (Huston, 2014, p. 137). Competent transcultural nursing care impacts the quality of care a patient receives by understanding the client’s needs holistically. Clark (2014) states that humility or the ability to learn from others and having an open mind is needed to impact a diverse population. Influence of Diversity on Nursing Care Diversity can affect...

...Running head: ETHICS Mike Jones Educational Ethics University of Phoenix Dr. Paula Clark July 11, 2010 The word ethics has a variety of meanings to many people. Ethics to one person may be related to morality, while someone else may say the right and wrong of certain behaviors. Some people declare that ethics for humans would be the proper ways of behaving in a particular profession or group. I believe that each person has their own set of norms for ethical behavior that they believe to be an appropriate way of meeting their goals. As stated in the American Heritage Dictionary, ethics is defined as “being in accordance with the accepted principles of right and wrong that governs the conduct of a profession.” I believe that ethics are my moral standards and the rules in which I abide by. My moral standards are the thread that determines what I feel to be right or wrong about my actions. When conducting educational research, one must have morals. Having standards helps me to conduct my educational research in order to safeguard the interests and rights of participants that are involved as well as the ones affected by the research. Within my research I believe that appropriate external approval is granted. This would include informing parents of research, supervisors, and the district. I further believe that ethical norms should be adhered to in research to promote the aims of the research, promote the values that are essential to collaborative work, and promote social and...
