“No I don’t want to go to school. The kids there bully me because I don’t look like them. My nose is wider and my skin is darker.” Your child comes home with bruises and cuts all over his body. You tell him that he should go back to school and that he would be accepted for who he is, but deep down you know that this isn’t always true. You have no words to tell your traumatized child and this leaves you heartbroken. We live in a place where humans segregate each other by skin color. However, we…

As people get older and involved in different roles at the same time they realized that it is harder to combine their jobs with their family obligations. People almost the time have to learn to give priority to things that matter the most for them. On the other hand, it is very common to find people that have studied a long career and after they engaged in a job related to his career, they…

In a land of unfair systems, broken spirits, lost minds, and fading attention, there are unintended influential persons following behind. Want to know what gives these people the right to be superior? It’s the fact that they’re as what was referred to earlier as a “person”. No credit given, because they are told they can’t have any. No chance to shoot into the hoop of their own future, because they acknowledge the words of the closest, which is dribbling negativity into their court and among…

breaking point for me: I cannot continue to live in a place where all the people who should be helping and genuinely caring are abusing me verbally and psychologically. If I’m going to be able to continue to work towards my goal of a master’s degree in fine arts with an emphasis in graphic design/new media arts, I need to move into a dorm…

Black Veil, a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Reverend Mr. Hooper is an excellent example to illustrate this case. I will be explaining about symbolism in things that people wear, whether it be a veil, flower, or anything else.

If you ever read The Minister’s Black Veil, you would already know where I’m getting at. In the…

On another note, the responses from the two security guards made me ponder why this grey haired person gave money to them, or other people? Was he trying to bribe them by gaining his faithful reputation? According to my perception, though he had behaved in that unblemished way for years, revealing he had a mental disorder condition, why was his family or anyone from his…

taught about race, ethnicity, class, gender, & sexuality? This question is deeper and more complex than it appears, I have been taught many things about each of these topics, most of all how each category describes a person. We all learn that all people are equal, or should be treated equally I learned that through words. Through actions, I learned that is not true. Through experience I learned that a persons race alone is supposed to tell something about them, about their character that…

Now as the time going many young people want to reach success in their youth. Unfortunately, some young people did not consider how hard it could be to achieve success. They sometimes think successful person is success because of their luck. And sometimes when the young people meet failure in their way to success, they become…

Groups for the older population help them have a better chance of being able to do a lot of things they normally may not be able to do. Group therapy recommends that being alone and separation are condensed and the amount of people communicating is heightened in groups. The elderly that have problems are better off in group sessions which help them have a feeling that others care about what is happening in their lives. It gives them a feeling of being secure and not afraid to talk. Group…
