In this day and age, media play a crucial role in our lives, it is present in almost every aspect, both from what we knowingly divulge on social media to other bits of information we don’t, such as our location through GPS on phones. Colleges have started to use data and information to completely transform higher education, to allow for higher retention rates and produce higher graduation rates than recorded in history. There are also many downsides to this new technology as it invades many…

I always say, "There 's nothing like a good indie film." Well, at least, that 's what I say this year. I have only discovered the wonderful world of indie films in the past few months, but I 'm sold. When I happened upon the film How Can I Help? I was intrigued by the title and the premise. Furthermore, when Stephen Kassen (director, producer, writer, etc.) agreed to answer a few questions about the film, I was even more fascinated. With pleasure, he apprised me to a variety of things concerning…

William Glasser (May 11, 1925 – August 23, 2013), a renowned American psychologist and psychiatrist, developed Reality Therapy in 1965 - a method of counselling and psychotherapy. In this his disagreement with the Freudian (Sigmund Freud: 06/05/1856- 23/09/1939) theory of mental illness was openly noted, which found great support from a teacher and psychiatrist G. L. Harrington in 1965, an anti-Freudian whom Glasser credits as being his ‘mentor’. Validated by research studies, this theoretical…

June 17, 1972 is a date that changed America for years to come. For on that day Richard Nixon signed his death sentence on his presidency. That was the day of the break-in at the watergate hotel, the home of the 1972 democratic national convention headquarters. Watergate prolifically changed the way that we as americans think and how we as americans act through politics. Without Watergate who knows what our current political system would be like? Most think what we currently have is a very…

ENG 100 Essay 2: To what extent are Romantic poets influenced by their predecessors? (2500 words) ‘[Romanticism] poses enormous difficulties in its definitions and conceptualisations’ Therein lies the problem; Romanticism as a movement is so multi-faceted, and the poets belonging to it so varied in style and fundamental beliefs, that it is commonly, as Ruston puts it, ‘negatively defined’ . The closest we can come to defining what constitutes “ Romanticism” is by outlining the ‘certain…

No doubt about it, America is a nation of coffee drinkers. The numerous chains and coffeehouses built every day in this country is a testament to the staggering number of people who just love the look, feel, and smell of a hot cup of coffee to get them going in the morning or calm them in the evening. Any type of coffee drinker can find a coffee service that they like, and they can have any kind of specialty gourmet brands overnighted to their home or office. Search online for Internet coffee…

Cherish hope The following quotation has been true to me in times of distress. It has also been helpful to women experiencing labour pains during child-birth. Knowing that in few hours’ time or the following day the child will be born and they will be free of pain helps them to bear the current labour pains with courage. “Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today” Thich Nhat Hanh…

rooms, I had always been a homebody and liked having my own space, but that person would have been right. I barely spent time in my room throughout the semester because I was either having a discussion in the lounge, adventuring around Phoenix and Tempe or studying in a friend’s room. I have tried to make the most of this semester and step out of my comfort zone to discover who I really am and what my purpose really is in life. Even though I didn’t spend that…
