... In the interview, retired Sergeant 1st Class Max Voelz recalls of how he had to pull the plug on his wife, who subsequently was injured while trying to disarm a bomb. Through a mutual friend, Voelz was able to get in contact with Sgt. Mary Dague, who lost both of her arms during a bomb explosion in Iraq. Dague, in the process became a support system for Voelz while he was going through his issues dealing with the death of his wife. Just like any other husband who experienced the unexpected death of his wife, Max did a lot of grieving. In the textbook, according to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross there are five stages to dying: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. People normally are in the depression stage when they are grieving (Santrock, 2006). Grief is a normal behavioral pattern of the depression stage. Instead of dealing with the depression, Max instead decided to do something about it. Max sought out for some help. Help came in the form of another bomb tech, Mary Dague. Even though Max never had any life threatening injuries during his time in the Army but having to watch his wife die in front of his eyes had to be a surreal experience for sure. By seeking out social support, which is defined in the textbook as receiving information and feedback from others that one is loved for and cared for, and included in a network of communication and mutual obligation. The social support Max received from Mary, even though these two have never met each other...

...History in Native Son Richard Wright’s novel, Native Son, is a more than one man’s story--it is a piece of American history we can see in this tale of an African American young man in the ghetto of Chicago. Wright makes several statements about the African-American experience through characters and situations. By using realistic details, Wright successfully shows us what life might have been like for blacks in America, specifically in the city of Chicago, during the 1930s. Maybe one of the most prominent factors affecting the American life in Native Son is the Depression. The Depression, or the aftermath of it, is simply seen as a way of life in the ghetto that Bigger and his family and friends live. It is obvious in how Bigger and his family lived. An example of this can be seen in the apartment that Bigger and his mother, sister, and brother share with the huge black rat. According to James Davidson, editor of Nation of Nations, Millions stayed alive by foraging like animals. “In Chicago, people stood at local dumps, waiting for the next garbage truck. When one pulled away from the pile, read a 1932 report, crowd of 35 started digging with sticks, some with their hands, grabbing bit of food and vegetables.” (Davidson, et al. 949) The image of struggling to survive is evident throughout the entire novel. As a result of the Depression, the government offered public assistance commonly referred to as “relief” to those in need. Native Son also shows the existence of...

...Great Historians of Managerial Research According to Mary Parker Follett, Management is “the art of getting thing done through people.” ( There are many great individuals from our history that have had a grand effect on the art of Management. These individuals have changed the ideas of management from what it once was. It was important and is important now for management to change and evolve as the world changes and evolves. Some of the greatest Management Researchers and management developers are Frederick Taylor, Adam Smith, Henry Ford, Henri Fayo, Mary Follett and Max Weber (Pioneers of Management).

This research paper will not discuss how each of the previous men and women influenced or changed the science of management. One of the most prominent management developers is Frederick Taylor. His work was mainly in the late 1800‘s. Frederick Taylor had many ideas for researching new forms of management and applying these new ideas on subjects for more testing. His most prominent ideas were the “Time and Motion” idea, “A Fair Days’ Pay for a Fair Days Work”, and the idea of “Optimizing and Simplifying Jobs” (Frederick Taylor and Scientific Management). Taylor was also the first person to apply science to the idea of management. “Taylorism is also another idea that Frederick Taylor created that was backed by his own book.

...Agatha Christie Dame Agatha Christie DBE (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple), and her successful West End plays. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly four billion copies, and her estate claims that her works rank third, after those of William Shakespeare and the Bible, as the most widely published books.[1] According to Index Translationum, Christie is the most translated individual author, with only the collective corporate works of Walt Disney Productions surpassing her.[2] Her books have been translated into at least 103 languages.[3] Agatha Christie published two autobiographies: a posthumous one covering childhood to old age; and another chronicling several seasons of archaeological excavation in Syria and Iraq with her second husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan. The latter was published in 1946 with the title, Come, Tell Me How You Live. Christie's stage play The Mousetrap holds the record for the longest initial run: it opened at the Ambassadors Theatre in London on 25 November 1952 and as of 2011 is still running after more than 24,000 performances. In 1955, Christie was the first recipient of the Mystery...

...Mary Fisher: The Struggle to Inform Demetris Vance ITT Technical Institute (Online Division) Mary Davis Fisher is an artist, author and speaker who travel the world promoting for those who share her HIV-positive status. UNAIDS Special Representative Mary Fisher is a strong advocate in raising awareness and engaging people living with HIV. Fisher, a former wealthy socialite from a prominent Republican family, has become a public symbol for the lesson that no one is immune to HIV. Mary Fisher's life, despite her privilege, has been anything but easy. Her father abandoned her when she was very young, and much of her life has been spent trying to please Max Fisher, her mother's second husband. Her mother was an alcoholic, as was Mary, who also married twice. Both marriages ended in divorce; after the second divorce, she learned that her ex-husband had infected her with HIV. As she becomes part of the AIDS community, she loses friends to the disease, and she gets more critical of conservative responses to AIDS. She characterizes some Republican rhetoric on HIV-positive immigrants as ``horrible'' and condemns the Christian right for its moralism. But Fisher writes around other issues, leaving it unclear, for instance, whether she agrees with media accounts that portrayed her famous 1992 speech as the only moment of compassion in an otherwise vicious convention. (Dorfman, 2012) On August 20, 1992, Mary Fisher addressed the Republican National Convention in Houston. She spoke for...

...Analyzing the Four Principles of Management: How Mary Kay Ash Utilized Them and How Her Innovation Will Translate to Any Business Max Fausnight The Los Angeles Film School Analyzing the Four Principles of Management: How Mary Kay Ash Utilized Them and How Her Innovation Will Translate to Any Business The world thrives with government powerhouses, tech giants, inspiring superstars, and many more great achievements. The common factor between these amazing feats is people. People harbor the power to accomplish, inspire, and create. When it comes to grandiose tasks, we require management to maintain solidarity and purpose in order to bring our dreams to life. Developed by a coal miner, Henri Fayol, we practice four common principles of management (Williams, Rtr. 2015). This allows for consistent success and can easily apply to any goal that requires structure. The acronym P.O.L.C. conveniently houses all of these principles for easy memory. The “P” represents planning, the “O” represents organizing, the “L” represents leading, and the “C” represents controlling. These four principles were crucial to the success of many business legends and I will examine their application with a personal favorite, Mary Kay Ash. After, I will highlight any other important aspects of what we’ve learned so far. Then I will finalize my paper with how our company will implement these necessities for great management. Mary Kay Ash started her company at age forty-five with just five thousand...

...The Human Figure in Art Student Name University The human figure in art, sculpture and other art forms involves the study and appreciation of the beauty of the human body (Human figure (aesthetics) , 2013). It can involve the body shape, including different postures, such as sitting, standing, sleeping, or even while in motion, walking or running. I think that the human figure is one of the most interesting and beautiful to look at, and it absolutely amazing to look at how much the human figure in art has changed over time. Different cultures believed that the human body was beautiful in different ways. Some show humans in the art as perfect and almost God like, while others show them in a more realistic form. Another amazing part about the human figure is not only are we observing the way a body looks, but also we are feeling the emotions that these characters are portraying. This is what makes human figure so fascinating. In the following essay I will be selecting fifteen examples of the human body in art. One of the oldest sculptures discovered to date, was carved using simple stone tools. It is a tiny limestone figurine of a woman named the Venus of Willendorf. This sculpture was named after its find spot in Willendorf Austria. It is said that the Venus of Willendorf was made anywhere between 28,000 and 25,000 BCE, and the artist is unknown. The sculpture is tiny, and features anatomical exaggeration. It typifies Paleolithic representations of women, whose...

Instead of approaching psychology as atoms or elements according to Wundt's theory, Gestalt psychology, discovered by Wertheimer, a German, on the other hand, focuses on human experiencing psychological events as a whole.
