...Email: sskylarky@gmail.com ABSTRACT Historically women have been silenced in history and literature. In the social sphere they have been “pressed”-oppressed, depressed and suppressed. With the setting in of the modern period, women began to snatch for themselves spaces for themselves. In India with the struggle against colonialism another silent struggle went on simultaneously. That was by women to bring themselves at par with men. This was visible even in the literary sphere. In the current paper we would trace the feminist way of portraying women in Anita Desai’s two most popular and widely acknowledged novels- CRY, the peacock and where shall we go this summer. Here in this paper our concern is to look at how in post colonial period women English writers of India have dealt with the theme of “woman oppression”. Have she raised a loud voice or revolt or has silently taken way to some other way to escape this position. Taking queue from the broader sub-themes of today’s Seminar, the paper would look at the dynamics of Indian English women writers concern and feminist thoughts in the writings in post independent India. Looking at the time constraints, for the sake of convenience we would look at the famous characters characterized by the famous writer Anita Desai. Her famous woman characters, the heroine of “CRY, THE PEACOCK” and “WHERE SHALL WE GO THIS SUMMER” has been taken up for this brief research. Keywords: Feminine, Feminist, Patriarchy, Liberation, Post Colonial, Post ...

I chose three perspective to talk about in my paper Behaviorism, Cognitive, and Psychodynamic theories. The word behaviorism converses to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson created on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism is also called behavioral psychology, which is a theory of learning established on the idea that all behaviors are learned through conditioning. What is conditioning? Conditioning transpires through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists trust that the environment around human beings forms our behaviors. For starters how a person was raised plays a big part in there...

...meaning to everything you do. Students that do not regularly set goals find themselves just drifting through their college education with no real plans for academic success. They base their decisions and actions on what ever comes their way instead of what they hope to accomplish in the future. Setting goals can lead to academic success by staying focused, having a clear direction, knowing where you need to go and how you are going to get there. I plan to take a quiet minute to think about more goals I want to set and to determine what my values and priorities are in education and in my career. I will write my goals down and say them out loud every day. An educational goal of mine is to complete my degree without any inturruptions. A career goal of mine is to apply what I have learned durring my educational journey along with the help from all the resources available to me, like the Career Guidence System under the Careers Tab to land my dream job in Education. Critical Thinking Critical thinking is the application of good reasoning to solve problems. A large part of living a successful life and having a successful education is the ability to...

...Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Grand Canyon University July 14, 2007 Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding The purpose of this paper is to identify, describe, and critique personal views on the place of understanding self-knowledge from the point of view of both the teacher and the student. The paper will also provide an evaluation of the sequence and organization of instruction that was used during at least two teaching assignments (units). The focus of this evaluation will be toward the effectiveness of the sequence and organization in accomplishing the desired understanding expected from students. To allay the purpose of the paper, criteria from Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe’s (2005) “backward design” will serve as a background for much of the information included in the paper. According to Wiggins and McTighe (2005), self-knowledge is “the wisdom to know one’s ignorance and how one’s patterns of thought and action inform as well as prejudice understanding” (p. 100). In consideration of today’s teaching milieu, it is possible that there are far too many instructors who are not familiar with the positive academic gains that they could bestow upon their students by paying attention to criteria that warns against instruction is devoid of any understanding, appreciation or acknowledgement of students’ self-knowledge. One of the greatest teachers and philosophers of Western thought, Socrates (Wiggins...

...Stem cell A stem cell is essentially a “blank” cell, capable of becoming another more differentiated cell type in the body, such as a skin cell, a muscle cell, or a nerve cell. Microscopic in size, stem cells are big news in medical and science circles because they can be used to replace or even heal damaged tissues and cells in the body. They can serve as a built-in repair system for the human body, replenishing other cells as long as a person is still alive. Adult stem cells are a “natural” solution. They naturally exist in our bodies, and they provide a natural repair mechanism for many tissues of our bodies. They belong in the microenvironment of an adult body, while embryonic stem cells belong in the microenvironment of the early embryo, not in an adult body, where they tend to cause tumors and immune system reactions. Most importantly, adult stem cells have already been successfully used in human therapies for many years. As of this moment, no therapies in humans have ever been successfully carried out using embryonic stem cells. New therapies using adult type stem cells, on the other hand, are being developed all the time. Significance of the Study Stem cell therapy is a potential treatment for spinal cord injury and different stem cell types has been grafted into animal models and humans suffering from spinal trauma. Due to inconsistent results, it is still an important and clinically relevant question which stem cell type will prove to be therapeutically effective...

...I am looking at this question from both a mental and emotional view. Drug and alcohol abuse has many definitions. Some may say that a person who drinks before noon is an alcoholic or someone who uses “street drugs” is a drug addict, but the truth is that anyone can be a drug addict or alcoholic. In my personal definition; a person who is mentally, emotionally or psychically dependent upon a substance is an addict. It does not matter if the substance is alcohol, “street drugs”, or prescription medication. Addiction can take the form of many different shapes, sizes, and races. The history of drug abuse dates back as far as time itself. The human race has always searched for things to help them feel relaxed, stimulated or increase energy and reduce the amounts of daily stress. Drug abuse history can be traced back to home remedies that people thought would cure these types of aliments. One form of abuse was alcohol and was discovered through farming and fermentation of fruits and grains. Indians and other native people used natural remedies like marijuana and natural hallucinogenic to reach out and speak with their spirit guides. When choosing this topic, I thought carefully about my past experience and the experience of people I know that have been in similar situations. Researching and finding the reasons that many people chose to use and abuse drugs and alcohol became very interesting to me. I feel that since I have researched this information and now have some knowledge, I...

...Psychology Subfields: Social Psychology Social Psychology Basic vs. Applied Research Beau L. Miller Valley Forge Christian College Dr. Kenneth Damstrom PSY223 A Introduction to Psychology October 22, 2010 Abstract In my paper I’ll try to distingush between applied vs. basic social psychology research through the acute social crisis of our time. Many people are turning to social science for the solution of our social problems. Society seems to be saying, in effect, "Scientific methodology in the natural sciences and their accompanying technologies has brought us to the brink of extinction; let it save us through the social sciences and their technologies." The great foundations, governmental agencies, business organizations, and the universities are repsonding to this demand by directing increasing amounts of money and personnel to activities dealing with human relations, intergroup relations, and social "problems" in general. Social Psychology Applied vs. Basic Research In a time where social work and social psychology are often seen as similar to the uneducated, I want to use this research paper to look into the differences of how psychologists are using their research. I’ll try to use this paper to address both basic questions regarding human behavior and applied issues of social concern. In (Kelman, 1968)described the tension between the rigor and vigor within science in general and within social psychology. In presenting the different styles of research...

...Effects of Single Parent Homes on Children Abstract Throughout the world, there are numerous children being raised in single parent homes. This paper is a summary of the increase of children raised by single parents and the effects it has on them. Single parent homes will consist of households with at least one child under the age of 18 and only one parent as a result of divorce, death, or parents having never been married. The effects on cognitive, social, and emotional development of these children will be compared to that of children raised in two-parent homes. Effects of Single Parent Homes on Children The American family dynamic has seen a drastic shift in the past few decades. The nuclear family structure, consisting of a father, mother, and children, has been rapidly decreasing as more and more children are being raised in single-parent homes. Divorce, parental death, or couples having never been married are some common circumstances leading to single-parenthood. Being a single-parent and sole provider for children can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Having to single handedly juggle all the responsibilities of career, maintaining a household, and raising children is hard on not only the parent but it takes a toll on the children, as well. When compared to their married-couple counterparts, the effects on cognitive, social and emotional development of children raised in single parent homes is made apparent. They are placed at a disadvantage and their...

...BATANGAS FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF ENGINEERING STUDENTS In partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for Methods of Reasearch by Carandang, Castillo, Gonda, Santos, I. Introduction Engineers nowadays are in demand to lots of companies here and abroad. In fact, thousands of engineering graduates and board passers work mostly in other countries. This is the reason why lots of students took engineering courses. Engineering has always been considered as a very difficult course by most of the students. It’s almost always the last thing that will come to the minds of the students when it comes to choosing their course or program. Engineering, as a program has a lot of difficulties within its name. There are lots of math and science subjects and instructional activities that students will really find it difficult to pass. It requires a great responsibility in achieving the title “Engineer”. Some students who are already taking up engineering doesn’t know the hardships that they are still about to face, that’s why a large number of students tend to have a low academic performances. The field of engineering has become so diverse in recent years that a definition is not easy to come by. Engineers still build skyscrapers, design machinery, and oversee public works. They also address society's needs and problems on a number of other scales with a unique blend of technology and science. At the macro level, environmental engineers are quantifying...

...Influence of Exposure to Coke Brand Identification on Taste Perception (JC, LK, SS, ND) 1. Abstract Short abstract, which describes the core of your study and main findings. 1. Introduction Here you describe why your study is interesting/ important; your problem statement and research question. 1. Theory Theory This study aims at affirming that the taste perception of the participants will be highly influenced on whether they are exposed directly to the brand-label, are only aware of the brand or blindly tested. A previous study about the “ Influence of Beer Brand Identification on Taste Perception” proved that in a blind taste, beer drinkers “could not distinguish the taste difference among the brands on an overall basis” (Allison&Uhl, 1964, p.37), moreover did the study conducted by Allison and Uhl highlight that beer drinkers were not able to identify their favorite brand of beer in a blind beer comparison test. Another study conducted by Plassmann, O’Doherty, Shiv and Rangel about how “ Marketing actions can modulate neural representations of experienced pleasantness” also identified that when participants are not presented with any particular information about the wines they had to taste in their blind test, participants were not able to report any major “differences among the wines”. (Plassmann et. All., 2007, p. 1051) Based on these findings the first hypothesis of the study is (1) Participants tested in the blind test will taste no major...
