I found the findings intriguing when British psychologist John Bowlby questioned what would happen when a young child’s rudimentary needs were met, but did not receive emotional attention? For example, he studied the WWII orphans whose basic needs were met, yet, they did not have the chance to develop the interpersonal relationship (he named this attachment), that should ideally occur between an infant and mother, and his results found they later exhibited behaviors associated with…

‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is an American coming-of-age, comedy- drama film. As advocated from the metaphorical title it promotes the message of being unique in a positive approach by reflecting on the issue of not changing your personality to fit in. A wallflower is acknowledged to sit on the wall alone, although it has its own individual beauty, it appears incongruous. This relates to the main character Charlie, a socially awkward outcast teen whom lived life from the sidelines, until…

Since getting my license at age 16, I have been able to dive to work. Driving allows teens to do a lot more in terms of responsibility. The driving age should remain at the age of 16 because it allows the teen to set a job, not worry about catching a bus, and teaches them responsibitity. It is important for a teen to have a job at the age of 16. Teens do not have to rely on their parents for everything such as buying gas and jast food a person does not have to rely on a parent to get to…

They play a major role in this deadly mix. Parents have the duty to warn their kids how bad alcohol can be for them. They have the responsibility to punish their teens when the teen is caught with alcohol. Unfortunately too many parents don't do either of those. Sometimes it is because the parent are alcoholics so the teen is raised in it and gets use to the alcohol so they follow in their parents footsteps. This creates a deadly bloodline that ruins generations and kills many in its wake. Then…

Dainton, Marianne. (2007, August). Attachment and marital maintenance. Communication Quarterly, 55 (3), 283-298. What previous theory/research was known about this topic? The attachment theory according to Dainton involves the behavior one uses to attain or retain closeness with another individual who provides security (285).

She described how extremely happy she was during her pregnancy and how she anticipated the birth of her son and their…

“When the Web first emerged I used to joke that if I had one fervent wish it would be that every modem sold would come with a warning label from the surgeon general that would say: ‘Judgment not included”, joked Thomas Friedman author of the World is Flat.

E-learning, the webs version of the classroom, is an exploding industry, with online universities such as the…

Adolescence is the time for humans to find themselves and gain the skills that help guide who they will be in life. It is also when most people struggle with alienation. Two Asian-American boys experienced these feelings in distinctive ways. In Brian Kim’s “Arm Wrestling with Grandfather” and Shanlon Wu’s “In Search for Bruce Lee’s Grave”, themes of loneliness and role models present the reader with a unique basis for comparison and contrast. In both narratives, Kim and Wu were heavily…
