It is totally unacceptable for men or women to touch each other inappropriately or sexually unless they are in a relationship of some sort, and after a certain age, it is inappropriate for boys to touch girls, except in very neutral or general ways. These norms differ in different cultures, and some cultures are much more closed about touching. For example, in our society, hugging is an accepted way to greet or say goodbye to someone, but in other cultures, that would be inappropriate, so norms differ throughout the world.
These norms are established through culture and society. Each culture raises their children differently, so they learn tactile communication differently. Some cultures are extremely open to touching and non-verbal communication, while others are more reserved. In addition, in any culture, there can be people who are non-tactile, and do not like being touched. The norms for these individuals can be…...

The one area in which this field study truly excelled was in the writing style and abilities that the researcher employed in the preparation of her dissertation. Though not especially persuasive or convincing due to the above-identified issues of a lack of clarity and focus, the language used was very clear and direct, presenting each idea, observation, and experience of the researcher quite clearly even if the unification of these individual ideas, observations, and conclusions remains elusive. There was also a clear trajectory in the qualitative description and analysis that is employed in the writing of this dissertation, and though many different forms of qualitative research were used and no single form of standard qualitative research presentation was used in this dissertation, there is a clear and adequate organization and construction of this dissertation that would have been strengthened still further by a clearer focus and more concrete relationships being…...

Reading Response1One question that I have about todays reading is why on p. 96 the author states that the fundamental claim of any Christian natural theology is that there is some connectionalways needing further specificationbetween our everyday experience and our experience of the reality of God. What I want to know is why it needs further specification? It does not seem to me that it is or should be difficult to see connection between our everyday lives and the reality of God.2I wonder about what the author states on p. 119 when he writes, The meaning of God is more ambiguous than Anselm is willing to allow, due to the limitations of the human intellect. I like Anselms ontological argument and find it helpfulbut it has to be considered according to a strict literal understanding of what is being said. I do not find it really ambiguous at all for…...

Stress-reacting vs. responding:

The advantages of mindful practice in everyday life

Every day, for every person, contains a certain amount of stress, both positive and negative. When I am in a stressful situation, such as when I am in a rush and am trapped behind someone driving very slowly or I feel that someone is not listening to me (such as when I am coaching a student during a critical moment of a game), I immediately feel myself tense up. As a way of displacing the tension, I often find myself gritting and grinding my teeth, clenching my toes and gripping my palm with my fingernails. My face looks tense and I furrow my brow. My breathing becomes quick and shallow. If I am in a nerve-wracking situation such as if I…...

ecession
Effect of the recession on upon financial market, the real economy and over everyday lives

ecession is defined as the economic slowdown or decline characterized by slowing down of trade, a magnitude decline in the GDP, and a decrease in employment usually lasting between 6 months to a year. This was the situation in the U.S.A. The hardest times being from 2008 through 2009 and the early months of 2010. America is still recovering from the effects of the recession that the country experienced from 2007 to 2009.

The slow down in economy triggered a massive job loss and unemployment rates that shot through the roof, the prices went up and a great deal of uncertainty rippled through the country. This situation has now seen a reverse trend albeit at a slower rate than was expected by many. The unemployment rate in November 2011 fell by 0.4% to 8.6% unemployment as…...

Whenever I will have to remember anything like dates or thing in order, I always try to ask myself what each of this thing reminds me of so that I can get a strong connection with them. Then, I will try to link this connection with an immense and vivid representation to make my recollection a lot more stronger. This task involves keeping the information in mind while performing another task (Uttl, Ohta, & Siegenthaler, 2006).

Topic and Date: The Ethics of Egg Manipulation (Evolution), August 27, 2009

Nature

The article "The Ethics of Egg Manipulation" published in Nature investigates the research challenges in reducing diseases that can be identified prior to egg fertilization. Scientists have questioned if it is necessary for humans to give birth to offspring that are at high risk for genetic diseases. Their hypothesis is: If we remove the bad parts of the DNA from one egg and replace it with good DNA from another egg and use the new egg for in vitro fertilization, can we reduce the number of babies born with disease (Anonymous, 2009)?

Current experiments have been performed on monkeys. The experiments have been successful and scientists believe the research is ready to move to humans, but many laws are in place to deter this type of experimentation. Two main issues prevent…...

I have experienced the fairytale love story and girl or young woman can dream of. Yet I am now well aware of the fact that not everybody has this luxury and that many people in the world must struggle to find a proper source of income or they have to leave their families and go to far away countries to find a better life. After this course, I think that it is our duty to help these people, to be active and responsive to their needs.
As a result of my experience with the Vietnamese immigration issue I realized that in most cases foreigners tend to work more and better than the regular American. This is because we value or time and our efforts and because we can afford to do that. Others can't. Others must struggle to find food, to find shelter. And it is our duty to make…...

Still, Goffman's point is, when both members of the team play their roles that send a message that those new people in the audience will now expect to see. This is "team performance" and in this case, and others like it, each member of the team has the power to ruin the show, or keep it on track, by his or her behavior. This is the "bond of reciprocal dependence" (p. 82).
In Chapter III ("Regions and Region Behavior") there is more to learn, this time about "regions" (such as a cocktail party where several couples gather in one room in "subgroups" which "constantly shift in size and membership") (107). People talking and responding to others in regions are actually putting on a performance. Some realize it, some don't. Decorum is the expected polite behavior while in a region. "Make-work" is the performance that workers put on when the supervisor…...

Are all students exposed to issues of boundaries? Similarities in background and economic conditions, does uncertaintycreate similarfeatures in individuals? It is difficult to outline student's lives and the boundaries faced during theireducation. The students develop a variety of skills including strong perception to break outside the boundaries. The boundaries have significance for the ones who believe in following the due course. There are some who go beyond the normal course to excel in education. These are among the few who creates an impact on the traditional boundaries posed by the system, society, and norms. The passion is what derives human beings from all walks of lives to be successful. It is the inner desire and commitment to the goal that matters the most in an individual's life. The experiences, perceptions, and notions resist from crossing what is called normal. Normal is also limiting some one's abilities within…...

life in the enaissance? Do you see different types of style, for example: style that you would definitely connect with Louis XIV and Versailles and other types of style that are very different to Louis XIV's style? You might like to think about prom attire vs. what you wear on an everyday at school for instance, or what you'd wear to an interview vs. what you wear to go over to a friend's to watch TV or a movie.
Life in the enaissance era and the clips are illustrating, how style was a way for the socially elite to express themselves. This occurred with them wearing outfits that highlight the different types of tastes with opulence. A connection occurs through illustrating how Louis the XIV lived and this desire to show off his wealth / power. (Bayard, 2012) ("enaissance," 2005)

More specifically, one new resident is a rebellious young man who objects to having to pick a single memory; meanwhile, another resident is an elderly man who cannot decide what memory to pick from the 72 years of his life. All of the employees are also deceased individuals; they remain employed at the facility because they were unable or unready to move on to eternity. This element gives rise to the drama that unfolds when one of the caseworkers realizes that one of the new residents was married to his former fiance prior to his own death as a very young man.

Religious counseling is an important field and one that works on the same principles as general counseling but integrates religion into it. When a Christian counselor works on the mind of his patient/client, the key objective is to align them to the teachings in the scripture without intimidating the client. In other words, it is the job of the counselor to learn as much as he/she can about the behavior, values and attitude including mindset of the client by providing a trustworthy and comfortable environment. Focus is placed on facilitation of communication where the client talks feeling completely safe in the presence of the counselor.

Writing an essay about drug abuse, it is important to start by distinguishing it from drug usage. Most people use some type of drugs casually or recreationally.  Whether it is a morning caffeine fix, a glass of wine with dinner, over-the-counter painkillers when a headache strikes, or some recreational marijuana, substances are a part of everyday life.  While using drugs may be an acceptable way to relax, to ease pain, or to handle other issues, drug abuse can have profoundly negative effects on a person’s life.

Unfortunately, there is not a bright-line between drug use and drug abuse. ....
