One other theorist that Destiney can be compared to is Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson established eight stages of Psychosocial Development. These stages involved Trust vs. Mistrust, Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, Initiative vs. Guilt, Industry vs. Inferiority, Identity vs. Role Confusion, Intimacy vs. Isolation, Generativity vs. Stagnation, and Integrity vs. Despair. Destiny Hill has experienced two of the eight stages, which are Identity vs. Role Confusion and Intimacy vs. Isolation. Identity vs.…

The documentary Bus 174 explores how Brazilian society’s treatment of their homeless youth and the lack of a well-trained police force led to the hijacking/ hostage incident of the titular bus. The perpetrator, Sandro Rosa Nascimento, was revealed to be one of the many youths who grew up on the streets of Brazil. Life as a street child was rough, with the lack of aid and the surplus of prejudice against them. It certainly did not help that the police were brutal towards all street kids –…

could recall nothing else except feeling lonely and frightened. Little kids were homesick and cried at night (Campbell, 1973; Speare, 1973 as cited in Truth and Reconciliation, 2012). Children didn’t see family ten months at a time. Letters to be sent home were reviewed and censored by the teachers (Sandy, 2006; Schmalz, 1991; Willis, 1973 as cited in Truth and Reconciliation, 2012). In 1934 a group of boys stole cash at the Shubenacadie school in Nova Scotia. The result was that 19 boys were…

If asked who you were, most people would hesitate and sort through millions of words just to find a few that could describe them perfectly. I am different, I cannot be defined by an adjective or noun. I am defined by my culture, experience, knowledge and the list goes on. Everything that happens to me on regular basis contributes to my identity. Since I was a young girl I was fortunate enough to take a vacation every year that luxury came with plenty of experience that I was oblivious to. One of…

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is an understatement of a WWII survival story. There are hundreds of horrific survival stories shared from brave veterans, choosing to relive the worst moments of their entire lives just so we can understand history. Unbroken, however, is on another scale of horrific. This book is about a man named Louis Zamperini, an Olympic track star from Southern California whose race to the gold medal was cut short by one of the worst war experiences ever told. His WWII story…

completely solve it. John Gleissner, a attorney and author of Prison & Slavery - A Surprising Comparison, states that “The public agreed to the idea of prisons because it got rid of the problem temporarily and seemed better than capital and corporal punishment.” The media or public thinks that by sending bullies to prison, the matter will end, but what they do not understand is that it…

plantations were closed down in 2003 because it became a financial burden to the government to meet the subsidy. Both parents were uneducated, neither of whom learnt to read and were raised in even more impoverished circumstances. While her mother stayed at home and slaved behind their children and household chores, her father toiled by undertaking manual labour in which…

I think one of the most important things to know about me is that I never know what to say when people ask me to tell them about myself. I see myself as an entirely average young person: I did well in high school, I did well in college, I’ve worked a few customer service jobs, and that’s about it. My “fun fact” in any ice breaker activity is that I have eight siblings, but even that is stretching the truth a little bit: that number breaks into two brothers, and five step-siblings. Does that make…

experience vary, which renders them to different pathways while gaining independence. The first arising incident which acts as a breaking point for Jane’s transformation of character and behavior is the confinement she got kept in by Mrs. Reed as the punishment for fighting with her cousin. The frightening night causes her grow up over night and makes her no longer afraid of standing up and speaking for her own. She defines the treatment as “unjust” and recollects the painful experience and “the…

words as wounding her. “When the sale was over, my mother hugged and kissed us, and mourned over us, bagging of us to keep up a good heart and do our duty to our new masters. It was a sad parting; one went one way, one another, and our poor mammy went home with nothing” (4). Seeing her mom's hopeless despondency of the loss of her kids and managing her very own sadness, “Mary felt that the white observers at the auction did not thought little about the torment that wrought the heart of the Negro…
