Phalanx formation

These past weeks I have visited a dear friend of mine with the purpose of getting this paper done. A friend that is already 85 years old and that has been part of my life since the day I was born. That friend is my grandpa, who is also the father of my mother. With the visits that I have done lately I have learned much more of him than what I knew before. As well as understanding some of his stages as indicated by Erickson’s Theory, and some of his identity statuses as indicated by Marcia’s…

Maxine Hong Kingston shows that one can form an identity by breaking silence in The Woman Warrior; Kingston develops this theme through different talk-stories stories her mother tells her. Throughout The Woman Warrior, Kingston gradually finds her own identity by examining heavily weighted talk-stories. Through these stories told to her by her mother and her aunt, she is able to express a part of her which her own experiences cannot explain as a Chinese-American female. Convinced by her mother’s…

The Namesake is another immigration story, which was adapted a book titled the same name. It is about a middle class immigrant Asian Indian family living in New York. Although the movie tells the story of an Indian family’s struggle in the US, essentially their adjustment problems could be true for all the immigrant families regardless of ethnicity. For example, yearning, adaptation process of the new culture while protecting your own culture and generation gap might be universal fact for all…

An adolescent might seek advice, attention or care from a family member (Paley, 2000) but might not be able to express this to them. At this stage parents must play a crucial role in overall development of an adolescent by giving them a patient ear, acting as friends to them, listening to every thing a child has to say, appreciating the good decisions and giving them a valuable advice over bad ones and most importantly encourage them to act honestly and efficiently by not imposing their will…

questions that spur an individual to begin on their journey to develop their sense of self, a process known as identity formation. Although issues with one’s sense of identity could arise at any point in life, clinical psychologist Erik Erikson theorized that identity formation was most prominent in, and was the most critical developmental task of, adolescence. Ideally, in identity formation, an individual goes through an “identity crisis” in which individuals try to form a unique sense of who…

involved in student council and earned straight A’s. This type of academic achievement not only made Lolita proud of herself, but it also helped her identify who she wanted to be. Lolita’s search for identity can be linked to Erik Erikson’s identity formation concept. Erikson believed teenagers “use the hypothetical reasoning skills of the formal-operational stage to experiment with different selves to learn more about possible identities” (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013, p. 316). Lolita experimented…

Movie titles give a good deal as to what the audience’s attention should be focused on while watching the movie. However, unlike most movies, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) hints that the viewer will be most intrigued by the character the movie is named after Ferris Bueller. However, the most interesting, multilayered, and relatable character is the supporting male character Cameron Frye. He is considered a supporting character because although he has a complex back-story of his own, his story…

Scope The purpose of this project is to summarize the Montney shale gas play that Progress Energy is operating in. We will be looking at and comparing the different wellbore designs they have, such as lengths, casing sizes, stages, frac tonnage. We will also be analyzing 8 wells in the Lily area and provide thorough information on well architecture, interval problems, number of bits/trips, and a day’s vs depth for all eight wells. We are going to analyze on the eight-well pad, located in…

shooting stars are actually meteoroids falling to Earth, they are very beautiful to look at in the night sky, but are plagued by this common misconception and by calling them a shooting star only adds to the confusion. The Solar Views article “Star Formation, Life, and Death” explains the reason stars die is due to the outer layers of the star are no longer able to resist the central force of gravity, which pulls the outer matter inward toward its core. What happened next depended on the star’s…

Social identity development is described as “the process by which people come to understand their social identities affect other aspects of their lives” (Patton, Renn, Guido, Quaye, 2016, pg. 67). Understanding social identity theories allows for context and guidance into the growth and development that ourselves and students are experiencing. The purpose of this paper is to examine Parks’ Theory of Faith Development and Dillon’s Processes of Sexual Identity Development within my own identity.…
