Biopsychosocial Assessment Critique Capus P. Barnett Valdosta State University In my endeavors to learn how to efficiently interview an older adult, I interviewed a woman named “Teresa Craig” that is sixty-five years old. Interviewing Ms. Craig was a slightly different experience from other interviews I have conducted over the years. It was the first time I interview someone that could be considered “elderly”. I gave me a new perspective on how someone older me thinks and…

Imagine a life where there was no form of government and you were free to do whatever you would like. The first word that comes to my mind is chaos. Freedom is easily abused and everyone would have the mindset of taking care of themselves before anyone. Can the human race survive that? In this paper I will discuss two philosophers, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, and their views on the state of nature. I will argue that John Locke’s view is not realistic, even though it’s ideally what I want for…

The interview speech experience definitely taught me a lot more than I had expected. The interview portion of this project was just as much of a learning experience as the speech. I gained I better understanding of the verbal and non-verbal skills I mastered, changes I would make, and the experiences of other people. Verbal skills are something that I feel I have not completely mastered yet. However, there are some I noticed a great improvement in since the first speech. One is talking at…

Inequality According to Rousseau In his Discourse on Inequality Rousseau strips humankind down to its initial state in an attempt to find the foundation of inequality. He pursues this foundation in hopes of being able to answer his larger question, when was the “moment at which right took the place of violence and nature became subject to law”. In other words, when does natural law give way to inequality. This paper will provide a comprehensive look at Rousseau’s attempt at answering that…

In 1962, the Supreme Court settled a dispute between the New York State Board of Regents and the New York Civil Liberties Union representing five families in New Hyde Park, New York. Several years before, the Board of Regents had written a prayer for the purpose of “supplementing the training of the home, ever intensifying in the child that love for God…which is the mark of true character, training, and a sure guarantee of a country’s welfare.” The recommended prayer read: Almighty God, we…

Roosevelt appointed a total of seven justices to the United States Supreme Court. Professor of Law at Harvard, and author, Noah Feldman, focuses on the background and evolution of four of FDR’s most influential justice appointees—Felix Frankfurter, Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, and Robert Jackson— throughout his book Scorpions. In the Supreme Court of FDR, and in our modern-day court, one often wonders how justices’ rulings are influenced. Throughout Scorpions, one may see FDR’s justices’…

Victor Hugo helped to define the romantic movement in France through his writing. His works include many poems, books, and plays revolving around love and politics. Many of his works were either published or performed during his life. While Victor Hugo is known for his many works during the romantic movement, he wrote his most famous works around the time of the French Civil War. Victor Marie Hugo was born to an aristocratic mother and a father who was a major in Napoleon’s army (“Victor Hugo:…

I interviewed JG, a senior in high school in an affluent area of the South Hills of Pittsburgh. JG had an easy disposition, he seemed very eager to obtain advice on a potential career path, and we established a rapport quickly. He was curious and interested and remained comfortable throughout the interview, as was I. He was interested in seeking out further information about career development, and I provided him the recommended websites we received for the assignment. It was through JG’s…

If I was the instructor and I could only assign one of these films to my students, I would choose Diego Luna’s 2014 film “Cesar Chavez.” I chose this film because Mexican American Civil Rights are underrated. It is a very important part in history that most instructors tend not to express as much or even skip the chapter. In high school, I remember learning about the Renaissance Era, Civil War, WWI and WWII, Cold War, African American Civil Rights, slavery, even wars in other countries that…

One of the most important hot topics in the second half of the twentieth century is the Civil Rights movements. In this research paper I will explain the significance of the United Farm Workers Association, the importance of their leader Cesar Chavez, and how it influenced people across the nation that where fighting for other types of civil rights. In states like Texas and California agriculture is one of their main source of income especially in the 60’s. There…
