Betz, Gabrielle, and Jill M. Thorngren. "Ambiguous Loss and the Family Grieving Process." The Family Journal 14.4 (2006): 359-65. Web. This article talks about ambiguous grief and how it compares to traditional loss. Ambitious loss can be many things such as a miscarriage, a family member has Alzheimer’s disease, or losing custody of a child. Ambitious loss means there is no closure or clear understanding of what is happened/happening to a family member. This type of closure has a…

Technology has been advancing little by little. Every time it advances something new comes out. It has positive outcomes as well as negative outcomes. Cellphone addiction is destroying human interactions. We don’t’ communicate by talking anymore, we use technology to communicate. When technology wasn’t around, we would wait weeks to get a response from the person we wanted to talk to. “Remember when people communicated with Europe by letter and it took a couple of weeks to get a reply?”…

1. One out of the nine learning outcomes I feel that I have had the most growth in the sixth one, recognize and examine the importance of sexuality across the lifespan. One major thing I have learned and want to do in my career is work with children and with that I want to start to talk to them about sexuality. Before taking this course I used to think that we shouldn’t talk to children about the topics of sex and believed that talking about sex and sexuality is a taboo. However, after taking…

As a leader is it important to know and own up to your strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this information one can build up their strengths and work towards eliminating their weaknesses. For myself, I asked friends to verify what my strengths and weaknesses are. This is what we agreed upon: my strengths include being personable and friendly, and a good listener; for my weaknesses I do not know when to say no, and my use of sarcasm may offend people who do not know me well. There are a few…

Why are you so quiet? My plump fingers pinched the unruly grain of rice. I plopped the grain onto the top of the correct pile, and then I sifted through the other heaps of rice. The short hand on the clock slipped downward as the stench of Lysol wafted through the air. Adults frantically slathered disinfectants on the surfaces of the tables. The other kids were probably frolicking through the damp leaves, wiping their flu-infested snot onto the sleeves of their sweaters. Inside, I inspected…

Book three of Mere Christianity includes twelve chapters that all relate to human Behavior. Chapter one discusses the three parts of mortality. The three parts of mortality, defined by C.S. Lewis are harmony among people, cleaning up the harmony within the individual, and the purpose of life for a human being. Chapter two addresses the Cardinal Virtues which are prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude. Chapter three talks about social morality, and within this chapter he touches on the…

The Web of Friendship Revision Friendship is imperative to us; it impacts our lives and shapes our character. However, there is a misconception regarding what friendship really is. When people are asked about their best friend, they instantly envision someone they live close to, or a classmate at school. However, not all friendships are so easily fabricated. In fact, my best friend lives in Massachusetts, and we’ve never met face-to-face. My first exposure to the internet came with a stern…

We often hear people saying that growing up without a father figure can be bad to a child. However, I never saw it that way. When I was a year and a half old, my father had decided to migrate to the United States, and leave his family and everything else behind him. His willingness to provide a better future for his family was far stronger than anything else. Growing up I remember asking my mother when will he be back. At that time there was no, telephones or instant mailing system to keep a…

Journal #5 Riley Parsley said “um” a lot and did not have good pronunciation or talk loud enough. I could not understand him at times and he did not have good posture. He explained the process of becoming a game warden well and he was talking to the audience, but he did not express his transitions clearly. Heather said “um” and “stuff like that” a lot. In the beginning of her speech she was banging on the podium which was distracting. I think her transitions were rushed but she clearly stated…

Having perhaps a greater impact on the industry than the radio, this medium would be the key to the ultimate success of alternative bands. Since both televisions and radios could be within the American household, their abilities of intimacy and immediacy were increased dramatically. Everyone who loved this music and its message could see it and hear it when they wanted…
