...reality of being a murderer and being responsible for the death of his family. At the end, Andrew became mentally ill himself for refusing to accept reality. This is the story of the Movie “Shutter Island” which is an example for what is called “Defense Mechanisms” and how they have a huge effect on our lives. Due to the fact that everyday people are faced with problems, stress, conflict and emotional pain, the mind needs to be protected against these painful feelings. As a result, “Defense Mechanisms” play an important role during these times in order to protect the mind from Stress and Anxiety by “unconsciously” denying reality and refusing it. Although Defense Mechanisms have positive side that they protect the individual against painful thoughts and experiences but using them without awareness can be destructive. “Defense Mechanisms” were researched by Sigmund Freud who’s an Austrian neurologist who became well known as “Father of Psychoanalysis”. Freud defined “Defense Mechanisms” as people’s unconscious behavior to cope with distress and anxiety; in other words they are ways that people use “unconsciously” to escape from painful experiences which they do not want to deal with or think about. Freud identified some types of “Defense Mechanisms” that can be used by a person while trying to defend himself against...

...How Management and Strategy Applies in My Workplace James F. Adams, Jr. Webster University This essay will highlight some of the Management and Strategy topics that were taught in class this semester and how it relates to my job in the United States Air Force. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus more on my workplace, which is with the 56th Security Forces Squadron located at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Strategic Management: First and foremost, I’ll begin by briefly summarizing what the United States Air Force (USAF) is and the purpose for their existence. The USAF is one of seven uniformed services in the United States. They were initial part of the U.S. Army until 18 September 1947; the day the USAF became a separate branch of the military per National Security Act of 1947. The USAF is a military service within the Department of the Air Force, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The USAF is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The highest-ranking military officer in the USAF is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force who exercises supervision over all Air Force units, and serves as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Our Mission: The mission of the USAF is to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace (USAF, 2014). Core Values: The Air Force (AF) bases these core competencies and distinctive capabilities on a shared...

...Free from Error Abstract The type of Moral Error theory I shall defend in the following essay is the kind proposed by J. L. Mackie and later by Richard Joyce. Mackie first advances “error theory” by stating that when most people speak of their moral judgements they are implicitly claiming “ to be pointing to something objectively prescriptive,” but “these claims are false” (1977, p.35). In the first section of this essay i shall introduce and clarify the constituent of error theory I aim to defend. In the next section I consider and rebut stephen finlays recent attack on moral error theory. Finlay takes aim at Mackies conceptual claim that many moral judgements entail categorical reasons, but I find his shots misguided. Consequently I shall consider finlays most powerful rejoinders with the view of again refuting them and arriving at the conclusion that Mackies conceptual and ontological claims hold and moral error theory stands. Mackie endorses a second order moral theory regarding the essence of moral valuing and the character of moral values. Mackie believes that many of the moral judgements we make contain a catergorical imperative element and his thesis that “ there are no objective values” (1977, pg 58) is an explicit rebuttal denying that “ any such categorically imperative element is objectively valid” (1977, pg 69).[1] The objective values that Mackie wishes to refute would be action-guiding unconditionally, not contingently upon any particular agents desired...

...Defense Strategy Course Lesson 1, Writing Assessment Essay Topic: Understanding Sharing Power? Date: 20 JULY 2015 Name: Vasquez, Manny CW5 (Proponent: USA) Dr. Patrick Parker’s proposition is correct in that the United States can continue to be the world’s lone hegemon, but it must also recognize the rise of regional powers. In other words, the American government cannot totally isolate itself from world events nor can it continue being the world’s lone overbearing policeman or benefactor. He suggests that future American grand strategy must consist of a middle ground that gives it the ability to protect its national interests while wisely flexing its instruments of national power when dealing with competitors, adversaries, and up incoming regional powers. At the conclusion of World War II the Soviet Union became one of two dominate superpowers. The Soviets had the ability to influence its immediate neighbors and offered countries a communist ideology that discredited capitalism and blamed it for starting the Great Patriotic War. The Soviets used propaganda on devastated European populations by demanding acclaim for being the principal reason why Hitler’s Germany was defeated. They maintained an occupation army stationed in Eastern-European countries under the pretense of liberators, but in reality, the Soviet soldiers were enforcers over buffer satellite states. The Soviets were one-half of a bi-polar world and principal antagonist of the western world...

The legislation covered a myriad of topics relating to peace and non-violence, but for the purpose of this essay only the area of international relations will be examined. “We are in a new millennium, and the time has come to review the age-old challenges with new thinking wherein we can conceive pf peace as not simply the absence of violence, but the active presence of the capacity for a higher evolution of the human awareness, of respect, trust, and integrity; wherein we all may tap the infinite capabilities of humanity to transform consciousness and conditions which impel or compel violence at a personal, group, or national level toward developing a new understanding of, and a commitment to, compassion and love, in order to create a “shining city on a hill”, a light of which is the light of nations”.[1] The Department of Peace and Nonviolence would consist of a Secretary who would be appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate.

...Intervention in International Business GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION 1. In a short essay, describe two methods of government intervention. What is the purpose of government intervention in international business? Answer Government intervention is often manifested as protectionism. Protectionism refers to national economic policies designed to restrict free trade and protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Protectionism often leads to two types of intervention: tariffs and nontariff barriers. A tariff is a tax imposed by government on imported products, effectively increasing cost of acquisition for the customer. A nontariff trade barrier, such as a quota, is a government policy, regulation, or procedure that impedes trade through means other than explicit tariffs. Governments intervene in trade and investment to achieve political, social, or economic objectives. Barriers are often applied to benefit specific interest groups, such as domestic firms, industries, and labor unions. A key rationale is to create jobs by protecting industries from foreign competition. Governments may also intervene to support home-grown industries or firms. In various ways, government intervention alters the competitive positions of companies and industries, and the status of citizens.
