2.2 Self–efficacy Self-efficacy is a significant factor in Bandura’s social cognitive theory, which emphasizes the evolvement and exercise of human agency (Bandura 1977, 1986, 1997). Human agency is the idea that people can exert some control over what they do (Bandura 1977, 1986, 1997).

The story takes place in the French Algiers and is narrated in first person by a man named Meursault. The storyline begins with him speaking about his mother's death. “Maman died today.

The following is an epilogue to Albert Camus’s The Stranger, an existentialist novel where the main character, Meursault, comes face to face with the reality of the Absurd.

The night sky is very bright with the yellow crescent moon, the bright stars and the…

Camus is no different in this aspect, especially when it comes to his protagonist Dr. Rieux. The event of the plague which is the main focus of the novel is a catalyst that shapes and changes the characters, some for the better and others for the worse. With the rest of this essay Dr. Rieux, Cottard,…

As writer-director Tarsem Singh (these days, just "Tarsem") explains it, he first had the idea for The Fall 14 years ago, but was unable to secure funding for a dark, miserablist fantasy shot in more than a dozen countries, based on a Bulgarian drama (1981's Yo Ho Ho), and largely written by the improvisational choices of a 5-year-old girl. And no wonder. The Fall ranks up there with the collected directorial works of Crispin Glover as an impossible-to-sell act of creative love and insane…

These two paintings share characteristics and qualities that are alike and that differ. “Starry Night”, by Vincent Van Gogh, is a post-impressionist oil painting that was finished in 1889. This piece of art displays the beautiful night sky out of a window at an asylum where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last of his later life. He was able to spend…
