...but actually does not (‘he rallied’), thus going against the expected (his friends and acquaintances ‘gave him up for lost’). This return to a state of good health does not bring a feeling of relief or happiness, on the contrary (he gets back to work ‘to the disgust of his juniors who had hoped promotion’). The situation turns into an administrative nightmare as well: the man is not dead, yet the Government makes arrangements for a grave to be dug for him, causing a zealous employee, Ahutosh Lal Deb, to try and get back the money spent on the grave. The situation is thus absurd: a man, quite alive, is asked to pay for his own grave. He writes letters (a sure sign of life) to put the situation to rights, but the administration is unwilling to see his point of view. The administration is presented as a caring entity, a maternal figure almost, full of ‘loving-kindness’. But this kindness does not translate into understanding or compassion, as Mumrath is at first denied his claim (to be given back the money taken away from his salary to pay for the grave). He has to play on ‘the Babu mind’ and bend the rules to get the results he wants. Mumrath uses the system to his own end, but this will backfire: it...

...The media as a whole has many hidden messages or ideas that the entertainment world wants to get across. The media uses subliminal messages through radio, television, and advertisement. “A subliminal message is a signal in the form of a picture or sound that is designed to pass the normal limits of perception,” which means when people receive images or ideas consciously they also receive it subconsciously in their mind (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). There have been many controversial issues concerning the usage of this technique (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). There were rumors stating that Bush has used subliminal messages in some of his campaign speeches in order to deliver hidden messages to the world (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). One example of this would have been when; “A similar accusation was made against a promotional film of the Liberal party of Canada, where after dissecting their ad, one could clearly see a gun being fired at the viewer” (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). The Bush promo is rumored to be filled to the brim with subliminal images of a disturbing nature: fire, explosions, terrified children, mutilation, ghost-like figures and several acts of violence” (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). In the manipulation of many viewers, it was first to be just a tested experiment that could determine the facts of subliminal messages (Subliminal Messages in Movies and Media). A movie theatre in New Jersey did an experiment...

In this study I will examine the psychological effects of this disorder on the abnormal individual. I will take a look into different types of abnormal individuals and their personal behaviors. Some of the abnormal individuals I will discuss in this study are: Serial killers, teens with necrophilia fetishes, men who occupation is working with the dead. I will give insight into their personal thoughts reflecting their actions of the sexual disorder. I will also discuss different forms of clinical treatments associated with the disorder, Necrophilia, a Greek word that means “love of the dead” is one of the rarest of known paraphilia’s, in which a person has sexual contact or attraction with a corpse. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition, necrophilia is listed under sexual disorders that are uncommon.

A necropile likes to just be in the presence...

Consumer goods were scarce throughout the Soviet Union and having, soap, extra clothes and food was extremely uncommon. “Villagers tried to go out in the fields to look for grain left behind by the harvest; the communists would arrest them and shoot at them…(Document 3). People were forced to live in deficient, substandard conditions that ultimately induced death and suffering. The lack of individual needs resulted in mass famines across the Soviet Union. Over seven million people died in the region of Ukraine alone, and millions more perished from inadequate conditions. People died by the thousand, from starvation, and intense cold. Death became so common that instead of digging individual graves the officials dug mass graves to compete with the rapid death rate. “People ate leaves, nettles, and milkweed… Danylo Huklib, died… [and his family] cut him up and ate him…”(Document 3) People ate anything to try and survive even eating...

...inmates as possible. Based on the information I have learned in class, no matter how harsh this place seems, it is ran based on the same things as any other jail. The inmates shown in Tent City live a stricter life than other inmates at local jails. The Sheriff does not allow things like sugar, salt, or coffee because they are considered luxuries and cost a lot more than other things. It was also stated in the documentary that tent city spends less on feeding inmates than the police force spends feeding police dogs. Every inmate is also required to wear pink undergarments to remind them on the fact that they are inferior and not in control. Everyone is also required to have a job, either in the chain gang (picking up community, digging graves), serving food to inmates at other jails, or various other jobs. Military like discipline is required due to the fact that inmates are not separated at all. So, extra precautions need to be taken at all times. The maximum sentence for an inmate in tent city is around one year. For some people, there are many questions about why tent city is ran the way it is. Some people may consider Tent City to be extremely unethical. The first issue that was brought up was the inmates having to wear pink underwear. This decision was made because some inmates tried to steal undergarments so all of the whites were died pink. This made the inmates humiliated knowing they had to wear them. Also, the fact that more is spent on food for police dogs than inmates...

...Romania, Greece, and Albania” (Crawford 2). People during the late 1600’s until the early 1800’s did not take vampire hunting as joke like people would today. They were actually very serious about it and vampire hunters were considered extremely important. One could not just become a vampire hunter but instead had to be born with a special gift, such as clairvoyance. Only males could be born with clairvoyance, which is basically a sixth sense and allows you to see vampires. Since only few were able to be vampire hunters they “commanded handsome fees of money, food, livestock, and goods” (Guiley 38). The demands of vampire hunters were always met, even by the rulers of countries, such as Charles VI. This ruler gave permission to dig up graves of the deceased to look for vampires. Charles VI also funded for doctors and scientists to go out and explore vampires in different regions of the world. Vampires are usually thought of...

...are commonly practiced, and now are greatly encouraged. However, today we have “healing hospitals” that follow the practices of spiritual healing. Erie Chapman and the Baptist Healing Trust envisioned a spiritual healing environment that focused on the healing of mind, body and spirit of patients. They believe that the healing hospital would also be beneficial for hospital employees by creating a productive work environment that supports the morals of employees. Spirituality can be anything in believing in a higher power that is immaterial or in other words, “not of this earth”. Spirituality also means a power that is beyond our five senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste. Spirituality is also looked upon as a powerful component in healing. It is said that in the scriptures such as Peter 1, John and the Book of Psalms support the healing hospital paradigm since it presents an immaterial power that can heal all who believe in the higher power. This Higher power can heal all diseases, emotional distresses, and other disorders. However, the healing hospital paradigms not only care for the illness or disease of a patient but they also care for the emotional needs of the patients. I think that is why Healing Hospitals are so successful and popular. They care for the patients’ body, mind and soul, which is entirely different than an average hospital in which they only care for the patients’ body. In a Healing Hospital, there are only positive outcomes because of all the love...

...A common saying is the saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. However, George Savile, in his essay in memoriam of King Charles II of England, somewhat disagrees. In his essay, Savile uses variety of rhetorical strategies to portray the king as neither the devil incarnate nor a perfect figure but rather as a human, whose flaws are prevalent in every person in an attempt to have his audience view Charles as a human, rather than an elevated figure. To begin his essay, Savile starts with an appeal to human decency. Rather than be like an “angry philosopher” and “call lewdness” on his most minute of faults, we should rather not “have an exact memory,” because if everyone who shared those vices attended his funeral, “never...

...generally friendly reviews, but the novel was controversial from the outset.[13] Upon issue of the American edition in 1885 a number of libraries banned it from their stacks.[14] The early criticism focused on what was perceived as the book's crudeness. One incident was recounted in the newspaper, the Boston Transcript: The Concord (Mass.) Public Library committee has decided to exclude Mark Twain's latest book from the library. One member of the committee says that, while he does not wish to call it immoral, he thinks it contains but little humor, and that of a very coarse type. He regards it as the veriest trash. The library and the other members of the committee entertain similar views, characterizing it as rough, coarse, and inelegant, dealing with a series of experiences not elevating, the whole book being more suited to the slums than to intelligent, respectable people.[14] Twain later remarked to his editor, "Apparently, the Concord library has condemned Huck as 'trash and only suitable for the slums.' This will sell us another five thousand copies for sure!" Soon after, in 1905, New York’s Brooklyn Public Library also banned the book due to bad word choice and Huck having “not only itched but scratched” within the novel, which was considered obscene.[15] When asked by a Brooklyn librarian about the situation, Twain replied: I am greatly troubled by what you say. I wrote 'Tom Sawyer' & 'Huck Finn' for adults exclusively, & it always distressed me when I find that boys and...

...Agamemnon's children, Electra and Orestes, and their revenge as they kill Clytemnestra and Aegisthus in a new chapter of the curse of the House of Atreus. Some years after the murder of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra (who now shares both her bed and the throne of Argos with her lover, Aegisthus) has a nightmare about giving birth to a snake which then feeds from her breast and draws blood along with milk. Concerned at the possible wrath of the gods, she orders her daughter, Electra (now reduced to the virtual status of a slave-girl) and the Chorus of slave women - the libation bearers of the title - to pour libations on Agamemnon's grave as an offering to the gods. The Chorus, captives from old wars and loyal to Orestes and Electra, are strongly opposed to Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, and they play a crucial part in explaining the unfolding conspiracy. At her father’s grave, Electra meets her recently returned brother Orestes (who had been banished from the kingdom since his infancy by his paranoid mother). Orestes identifies himself with the snake in his mother's dream, and the two siblings plan to avenge their father by killing their mother and Aegisthus, as Apollo himself has commanded him. Orestes and his childhood friend Pylades pretend to be ordinary travelers from Phocis asking for hospitality at the palace of Argos....

Hitler focused more a pollution of the German state and influences from the Aryan race. While Mussolini utilized bandits and hooligans to keep and strengthen his power. • Hitler and Mussolini placed fear into the hearts of the general public. Trepidation was present but for different reasons. • People beneath Hitler were afraid of not fitting in. conformity took over and wanted to be apart of the Aryan race.

...Individual Development Plan Oslin Joseph University of Phoenix PSY/301 7, 2010 Individual Development Plan What is wrong with emotional conflict today, conflict is unavoidable and crucial. This is why I want to enhance myself with emotional conflict control skills. I have seen emotional conflict to be an important skill and at the same time I realized dealing with conflict can also become emotional. Employees bring different ideas, goals, belief and needs to work and these differences are a primary strength of the workplace. These same differences inevitably, led to conflict, even if the level of conflict is high or low. Since conflict inevitable, one of the ways that I may develop and improve my abilities to function around conflict is to recognized different types of conflicts and ways people deal with conflict. I see conflict as an important skill because today the workplace is threatened by the inequality of conflicts. Conflict has been a struggle as long as two people begin interacting. For example, one will have at least two ideas how something should be done. At this point I will slow down my emotional reaction as my speech will be very quick and hasty. I will develop a self awareness by watching my body language, taking a deep breath and putting my shoulders back will help to calm the situation. The difference how to behave when faced with strong emotion in conflict situation, normally the brain happens to be overwhelmed and because...

...After they had been housing the homeless, illegal immigrants for some time, the congregation of the Sunday mass had begun to complain about the smell. Noticing that this is not what compassion is, he helped the congregation to a different view of the smell. Instead of it smelling because of the immigrants, they changed their view to it being the smell of a compassionate commitment. Afterwards he notes, “The packed church roars with laughter and a newfound kinship that embraced someone else's as their own. The stink in the church hadn’t changed, only how the folks saw it” (Boyle 74). Father “G” provides many more glimpses into the power of compassion and its healing properties, but in order to make sure that it is indeed the compassion doing this healing and not just because Father Greg is an amazing human being, who truly embodies what God wants of us all, we can look toward what other’s in the book had accomplished with amazing and awesome levels of...

...Just War theory is a doctrine, also referred to as a tradition, of military ethics studied by theologians, ethicists, policy makers and military leaders. The purpose of the doctrine is to ensure war is morally justifiable through a series of criteria, all of which must be met for a war to be considered just. The criteria are split into two groups: ‘the right to go to war’ and ‘right conduct in war’ . The first concerns the morality of going to war and the second with moral conduct within war. Recently there have been calls for the inclusion of a third category of just war theory - jus post bellum - dealing with the morality of post-war settlement and reconstruction. Just War theory postulates that war, while very terrible, is not always the worst option. There may be responsibilities so important, atrocities which can be prevented or outcomes so undesirable they justify war. Origins The Indian epic, the Mahabharata, offers one of the first written discussions of a 'just war'. In it, one of five ruling brothers asks if the suffering caused by war can ever be justified, and then a long discussion ensues between the siblings, establishing criteria like proportionality, just means, just cause, and fair treatment of captives and the wounded. The war in Mahabharata is preceded by context that develops the "just cause" for the war including last minute efforts to reconcile differences to avoid war. At the beginning of the war, there is the discussion of "just conduct" appropriate...
