Introduction: The cinematic text of Sally Potter’s Orlando (1992) is one that places its viewers in a tactfully contrived and theatrically constructed domain: a domain that only becomes comprehensible to us through Orlando’s instances of self-reflexive narration, through the omniscient narrator that privileges Orlando’s narrative perspective, and through a camera lens that constructs and emphasizes Orlando’s body as the starting and focal point of that narrative. From this highly…

The test that I have chosen is the Children’s Depression Inventory which was published by Multi Health Systems and is intended for test takers ages 7-17 either in the educational or clinical setting to evaluation depression symptoms. Lee, Krishnan, and Park (2011; 2012) discusses the psychometric properties of the test to help address the question of the specific type of reliability, the associated source of error, as well as Lee, Krishnan, and Park’s interpretation of the results. The study…

CSR is becoming an increasingly important issue for all organizations. Organizations must assume greater responsibility for their own actions. CSR, to be effective need to be developed in a collective mind which expresses shared values, coordinated behaviour and subordination. The reason for making CSR a collective competence is based on the importance of CSR to build a strong Organizational identity.

The COPE inventory allows an individual to understand how they cope through stress. There is no particular way to the score the COPE inventory, and no normative data or coping style for the individual taking the test. There is no wrong or rights answers, choose the best answer that you would do and not what someone else would do. Everyone deals with stress differently, but individuals find a way to cope with stress using different approaches. There are two types of coping, problem-focused coping…

Butlers idea of gender performance can be linked to Zimmerman and West concept of ‘doing gender.’ West and Zimmerman believe that gender is something we carry out, rather than something we are. It is a ‘routine, methodical, and recurring accomplishment.’ (West and Zimmerman 1987: 126). "Doing gender work" refers to the performance of societal activities, interactions and perceptions which is used to define behaviours as either feminine or masculine; performing specific roles according to ones…

While studies have shown the importance that media plays during the socialization and the social identity creation (Arnett, 1995; Suess et. al., 1998), less research has been done to specifically look at group dynamics that come into play during a media viewing experience. Therefore this study will analyze the group process of conformity within the entertainment experience. Conformity To the best of our knowledge, no study has looked into the social need to conform within the uses and…

For the past several decades the disability movement has been an active part of intersectionality. The modern disability movement “draws a distinction between physical impairment and disability” (Wentzell 371). It focuses on the social and cultural framing of disability rather than the medicalization of different impairment conditions. The disability movement is the parent movement to the disability sex rights movement. The disability sex rights movement addresses the “psychosocial,…

The initial purpose of the prison system is to “disappear” people mainly from minority, poor, immigrant communities, in order to make a business out of incarcerating them, by teaching them through schooling, that their race is a curse and that they cannot change their position in society. If you teach a child of color that no matter what they do to be successful and that they will never amount to anything, they will seek other ways to reaching that success; even if the law deems it to be illegal…

Guerroro argues that the manifest normal mandate is the best description of a political candidate’s support, wherein the manifest normal mandate (MNM) refers to the amount of support expressed for a candidate through the electoral system in a certain area (Guerroro, p.298-299). While Brennan’s “lesser of two evils” paradigm addresses the fact that voters must sometimes vote for a candidate they don’t wholly support, I think that Guerroro misses another important case: the fact that even if a…

ETHICAL ISSUES IN NURSING Carol Gilligan was the first person who is said to have used the expression `ethics of care’s well-known text (In a different voice) in 1982(4). But, Sara fry strongly argued that nursing ethics is a feminine ethics, because it is not bounded by traditional `masculine `principles (1989) (5). However, Megan Jane John stone was very clear that care and feminine principles are the basics of nursing ethics (1994) (6). Medical caretakers are continually in circumstances…
