The Urge

Castration was a consideration made for offenders of this type and in considering this method it was determined that removal of the phallus would not thwart the behavior. Not all sexual offenders or pedophiles commit crimes involving penetration, therefore, removing the phallus would not stop re-offense, but if the testes were removed the testosterone levels would significantly decrease thus reducing the sexual drive. Initially many believed this approach was a great solution but were eventually…

This dimension focuses on how well a culture can adapt to change and how well they can cope with uncertainty. If there is a feeling of anxiousness about change, then that society may feel threatened. In his book, DeVito (2016) stated: A culture with a high ambiguity-tolerant culture doesn’t feel threatened by unknown situations; uncertainty is a normal part of life, and people accept it as it comes. They minimize the importance of rules governing communication and relationships. People in these…

The third story is about a man who was been trying to stay sober for 23 years. In the beginning it was all a joke to him, that he was not ready for change. Coming to AA meetings had become part of his life and that he was taking it day by day. He had tried to quit many other times but was unsuccessful. He then had the desire to stop and have an open mind. Last year he was sober for 8 months and then because of some things went back to drinking. This year he has been 6 months sober. He says that…

Chapter eight: Satisfy the Critical Mind The conscious mind enables humans to make decisions and direct behaviors. Feelings enable humans to become aware of their emotions. Consciousness lends a higher thought process, allowing humans to internally decide. Oddly, the same part of the brain that plans behaviors is linked to the emotion. Therefore, emotions and logic are interconnected. Rational decision requires emotional input and emotions can be reshaped by rational thinking. Humans can…

them the object of any conscious knowledge. People are so blind to some of the simplest facts in everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to know. all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of Nature manifests itself are subject to a fundamental law--one may call it an iron law of Nature--which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind. Each…

strong, independent- and continues pressing until the reader inevitably breaks. Daly aims to distort our perception of the world, which makes her writing so brilliant. She sets a chaotic, uncomfortable mood that urges the reader to move away from a state stagnancy and uncertainty. She urges the reader to examine their unexamined lives. Her creation of this new language and dialogue takes the reader out of their impure mindset and grants passage to an anti-patriarchal reality that is easily…

The author of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley incorporates a range of ideas which relate to todays youth. The story involves a outsider in the World State and the juxtaposition between these two conflicting views allows the author to represent different ideas, heavily related to societal conventions. The societal system used in the book is a society containing many troubling aspects in our society and making them the crux of the society allowing the problems to become more emulated. The idea of…

One argument is illustrated in the dialogue Demeude quotes. It is that of the Cistercian who argues ornamentation does nothing to inspire virtue or piety and that, in fact, the creative urge could potentially be dangerous. This irrepressible creative urge, as Demeude puts it, proved to be much more powerful than the limits and regulations imposed on artists, such as the iconoclast’s violent objections in the Byzantine era or the later, failed prohibitions under St. Bernard…

Dr. King’s letter from Birmingham jail was a letter that defended the strategy of nonviolent actions, which argued people naturally had the urge to break unjust laws. While king was in jail, an ally smuggled in a newspaper that contained an article called “A Call for Unity” which provoked king to write a response to the clergymen criticizing his methods. However, even though the article was written by clergymen in which Dr. King understood their importance and status in the church, Dr. King…
