Many students with mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety experience stigma both in and out of the classroom setting. This is an important problem to resolve because mental health stigma in schools can directly affect students’ academic success. If a student is struggling with a hidden disability it is possible that it may be impeding on their ability to perform adequately (Coduti, Hayes, Locke, & Youn, 2016). There is a disconnect between students and professors that often occurs…

Studies show there is a relationship between the lack of information and awareness about ASD and the response to it, while informed participants have a positive reaction to it, those who are not as well-informed have a more negative reaction to it.

Personal identity has lost itself in a sea of branding and old pajama pants that society has deemed acceptable to be worn outside of the home to Walmart, but Oscar Wilde might not be as opposed to this as one might think.

Hamlet expresses his love to Ophelia in the beginning of the pay and ends up expressing extreme anger and violence after he finds out she was spying on him. He also shows mild anger and sadness…

The theme of power is very evident in many works of literature, especially regarding culture, gender, and sex. When interpreting any works of literature, the role of power is usually held by a male character.

Coetzee and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, the theme of gender related power can be well interpreted amongst the…

The mixed scanning decision making framework was chosen for guiding the development of this policy. The mixed scanning framework provided the opportunity to isolate the necessary information thru filters that would allow for different views; narrow in scope for fundamental alternatives, but broad for incremental decisions. Because the information-gathering for this issue would uncover abundant information when searching for a particular scenario - but also reveal the need for more unique…

Creation to Death: A Path of Ethical Decisions The screenplays of Jurassic Park and Strangers on a Train tell the elaborate stories of an usual and abstract reality that many would consider normal. They have many aspects that connect them together, such as ethical and moral obligations, yet also make them diverse and independent of each other, such as their motives and timing behind certain events. Each screenplay is unique in that it is entirely created around an environment developed for…

"It is possible perhaps even psychologically commonplace, for someone other than a mere criminal to talk and act like Tartuffe, that he differs only in degree from large categories of the truly religious, leads to an implied devaluation of a whole cast of mind, a whole moral stance in society."
