While in this position of power, people will turn on one another when least expected. The Klutter’s Kobras were a school gang that no one wanted to mess with.

    KBIT 2 Summary

    As a measure of current general intellectual functioning, the KBIT-2 was administered and yielded a Verbal Score = 86±5; a Nonverbal Score = 55±5; and an IQ Composite Score = 66±4. The composite score falls within the very low or borderline educational classification at the 01st percentile rank per national age based norms and needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Hunter’s struggles with focus and difficulty attending to auditory instruction, his nonverbal score is felt to be an under representation of his actual performance. Repeated testing within the near future with this or a similarly constructed psychometric instrument would probably find Hunter scoring higher than an IQ band of 60 - 74. Analysis of KBIT-2 scores found Hunter demonstrating an unbalanced skill set between his verbal skills and his spatial, visually based skills.…

Since families are a fundamental element of society, society cannot function properly unless its families are. Two things families need to operate are love and respect. Kilpatrick states that the “family belongs to the sacred order, and that children require love (155, 153). The sacred instructs parents to love their children.…

    Klimt The Kiss Analysis

    The first piece that I’m going to discuss is “The kiss” by Klimt. I’m so moved by this painting not for the depiction itself but for the technique and time that he used. This is perhaps Klimt's most popular and notorious artwork of sexual love. The kiss is a very dynamic and distinctive piece in that you can clearly tell that the man and woman are in some form of love (or maybe they are just friends). The man that alone makes the piece is holding the woman so closely and lovingly.…

    Shane Koyczan is an award-winning Canadian poet, author and performer who rose to global prominence in 2013 when he published the spoken word Poem project “To This Day”. Koyczan proficiently represents his bullying experience and its shared aims in society through the proficient use of emotionally lyrical techniques to illustrate its emotional results and the view of discovering oneself. Koyczan attract the audience attention into his personal experience by relating his own experience as a foundation on which he discovered self-identity. Koyczan draws the difference between the real meaning of his self-identity that represents connotations of selfless sacrifice, compassion and humbleness and the perception of others who level social isolation and emotional degradation against him. By expertly and paradoxically incorporating those who bully and those who experience the bullying as the audience of the poem, Koyczan is able to create an aspirational foundation to his message.…

    Emile Durkheim’s functionalist theory can be applied to the movie The Ron Clark Story. Functionalism is a theoretical framework in which society is viewed as composed of various parts, each with a function that, when fulfilled, contributes to society’s equilibrium. This movie is based on a true story about a teacher who moved from teaching in North Carolina to Harlem, New York to teach at one of its schools. He asked to teach the most disruptive class, which had been labeled as hopeless and impossible to control. Mr. Clark had a difficult time with the class for most of the movie, but through determination and understanding, he eventually turned the worst class in the school into a well-behaved class who scored outstandingly high on their…
