...The person I have selected for this research paper is Princess Diana. She changed the world by modernizing the idea of what a princess should be. She also put substance over style. I already know that she thought she never had a happy life. I know she died in a car crash because photographers were chasing her. The car crashed under a bridge because she was trying to get away from the photographers. I would like to learn why her life wasn’t that happy, and why she and Prince Charles got divorced. I will be looking at websites, such as the following, biography.com, theodysseyonline.com, and more for my website sources. I will be using the documentary Behind Closed Doors as my one alternative source. For my book sources, I am planning...

...The idea of purity is a recurring theme in myths regarding Diana. Diana was the chaste goddess of the hunt and of the moon (Vickers 268). Her power came from her chastity and her self-control regarding sex, because, unlike the other gods and goddesses, she would never have children that would have allegiance with her. When Actaeon see her in the grotto, her purity becomes jeopardized because Actaeon’s intentions were unknown. Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag in order to preserve her power as the chaste goddess Diana led a band of virgin hunters who took an oath of chastity as a way of pledging allegiance to her and they spent their days hunting alongside the goddess (Vickers 268). Unlike the other gods and goddesses, Diana would never have...

...What would the world be like if there was no kindness? Would the world just continue on in one huge war? Would people only think about themselves? How would anyone go on without kindness? Kindness is acting on behalf of someone else and not expecting anything in return. Princess Diana once said, “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” Princess Diana was an excellent example of a kind person. She spent much of her time helping different charities, but one charity that she devoted a lot of her time to help was for the AIDS patients. Diana raised a ton of money to help find a cure for the disease and she would visit the patients in hospitals, holding...

...Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper PSY/435 December 12, 2011 Neva Wilson Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper Evolution of Industrial/Organizational Psychology The history of industrial/organization psychology originated in the twentieth century. Experimental psychologists were the first to engage in I/O work. Their main purpose was applying the new principles of psychology to problems in organizations. Two of these experimental psychologists were Hugo Munsterberg and Walter Dill Scott. These two psychologists would be credited as being the main founds of I/O Psychology. Both of these experimental psychologists were university professors who became involved in applying psychology to problems of organizations. An engineer by the name of Frederick Winslow Taylor would have a major influence on the I/O field. Taylor studied employee productivity and developed an approach which he would later call "Scientific Management." Taylor used scientific management to handle production workers in factories. This approach included four principles which would guide organizational practices. Today, his same ideas are still used. Furthermore, two more individuals had an influence on the engineering side combined with psychology. A married couple, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, studied how individuals perform tasks by combining engineering and psychology. The Gilbreths devised the time and motion study. This incorporated measuring and timing people’s motions in doing tasks...

...twentieth century and the beginning of a new millennium, there can be little doubt about mass media's impact on the way the world works. Consider a few examples: The communist world collapsed, and mass media played a key role. In the Persian Gulf War of 1991, the American government seemed to be as much concerned with influencing the media as with fighting the enemy. Our politicians have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on television advertising; they are no longer judged by their ideas or leadership but by their ability to project a telegenic image. Athletes no longer seem as engaged in sportsman-like competition as they are in competing for huge salaries as mass entertainers. The 0. J. Simpson trials and the death and funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, have shown us that celebrities often command the world's media attention more than real issues of life and death for the planet. Most of us have had some direct experience with the impact of media on our lives, and we have witnessed their power in molding institutions and shaping events. What is still debatable, however, is whether that power is being used for good or for ill. In this discussion there are many sides-and that is what this book is all about. Without question, the mass media in America are unique. Americans have the most mass media, spend the most time on them, and fulfill most of the mass media appetites of the world. Yet we have not necessarily become the best-informed citizens of the world, nor the most literate...

...Discuss the psychosocial & cultural significant of therapy culture today. Introduction In the today’s’ modern world, psychology education is a vital unit for the society. This is largely because; the foundation of today’s society is fundamentally based on cognitive related activities and emotions. Statistically, reference to psychology today is so deep rooted that some the job market for a psychologist is constantly on the rise as patients are everyone, and are everywhere. Psychological and cultural significance As a result, one of the common dispositions towards treatment and emotions that has arisen is that spoken about by Dr. Yates (2011), in his journal on reflexive self. This is basically the fact that the society though an emotionally driven sector, has an evidently open negative view towards emotions and their treatment. One would expect the situation to vary from how it was in the 19th and 20th century where emotions and any form of cognitive treatment was a cause of stigmatization and a sign of weakness, but like culture, some ideas are rather deep rooted. Today, the mere mention of treatment is a factor enough to subject especially media personalities or celebrities and renowned political figures to a world of criticism. Derek Draper who is a celebrity therapist confirms the trauma that celebrities found in need of therapy have to deal with and how these media persons try to avoid therapy and any other form of psychoanalytical form of treatment, for their sake...

...From the SelectedWorks of Dr. Philip Stone January 2005 Consuming Dark Tourism: a call for research Contact Author Start Your Own SelectedWorks Available at: http://works.bepress.com/philip_stone/5 Notify Me of New Work e-Review of Tourism Research (eRTR), Vol. 3, No. 5, 2005 http://ertr.tamu.edu ______________________________________________________________________________ Philip R. Stone Department of Tourism and Leisure Management University of Central Lancashire Dark Tourism Consumption – A call for research There is an increasing plethora of sites associated with death, tragedy or the macabre that have become significant tourist ‘attractions’. As a result, the term ‘dark tourism’ has entered academic discourse. However, dark tourism literature is both eclectic and theoretically fragile. This is especially the case with regards to consumption and its implications for understanding the ‘dark tourist’. Thus it is suggested that the dimensions of dark tourism consumption have not been extracted or interrogated – only assumed. Consequently, with death and the nature of dying at the crux of the dark tourism concept, this article calls for the development of consumer behaviour models, which incorporate contemporary socio-cultural aspects of death and dying. It is suggested that this in turn will lead to a better understanding of consumer motives within the dark tourism domain. Keywords: dark tourism, death, contemporary society, consumption By Philip R...

...Media Effects of Women’s Body Image This paper aimed at to help 15-30 years old women to build a healthy and positive attitude toward their body image. The research question that I raised is how do TV advertisements and fashion magazine affect 15-30 years old women to build their self-esteem and body image view in the U.S.? More specifically, I will examine the various aspects of negative effects that the television and fashion magazines bring to the 15-30 years old women. I proposed that the negative effects that television and fashion magazines bring to young women is more serious than people expected. I do intend to cite the relatively few statistic data and clinical studies that have been conducted on media’s negative effects on women’s body image. My audience will be the 15-30 years old women who do not aware enough of the problem that I describe or who was struggled by the problem that I describe for a long time. Nowadays, a woman’s identity is linked strongly to her physical appearance. In this situation, coverage of women in media mostly concerns women’s appearance and set them as sexual objects. Most social commentators agree that the media reflects current social norms (Grogan, 1999). Body image is the picture of the size, shape, and form of people’s bodies that people see in their mind’s eye (Honigman & Castle, 2007). It is also central to the self-concept and to self-esteem, influencing psychological functions and diverse behaviors (Cash & Pruzinsky...

...Emerging Crisis: A Lecture about the Psychosocial Perspective of Personality I. Introduction Coon and Mitterer (2013) stated from their book that every life is marked by a number of developmental milestones. Those milestones are notable events, markers, or turning points that affect the development of a certain individual. Some examples of these include graduating from school, reaching your dreams, getting married, getting a job, becoming a parent, retirement, and one’s own death. One of the important things that a person needs to develop is his personality. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, personality is the set of qualities and behaviors that makes a person different from other people. From the definition, lots of questions arise. Some examples are “What makes them different from the other?”, “Why are they behaving like that?”, and “Who am I?” In order to answer those questions, Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development will help to understand the complexity of human personality. Erikson’s ‘psychosocial’ term is derived from two words – ‘psychological’ means mind and ‘social’ means external relationships (Chapman, 2013). According to Ramkumar (2002), Erik Erikson did most of his works during the 1930s to the 1950s as a psychologist. He was fascinated in child analysis. He was the student of Sigmund Freud and he was inspired by his works. From the article of Chapman (2013), Erikson’s psychosocial theory was drawn and was extended from the ideas of...
