Essay About Ask For Help
This activity helped the whole class get out of their seats and start to really connect with each other and spend time getting to know one another on
another level. One of the lessons I took away was to be open in asking for help when I need it. I often find it difficult to ask for help because I feel I am
bothering others and I should figure it out on my own. I possibly need to let go of my own will power and determination and let another give me
suggestions. Another aspect I would like to take with me is all the activities that are so simple in organizing team work and opportunities to open up
to others. Steven was very prepared with games that would help us work as a unit, as well as opening up to others about our lives. I would also...show

When Steven first said that we could ask for help I immediately pushed that notion aside and put full faith in my ability to find it myself. I know that
after we graduate it will only become that much harder to ask for help in our career life, so before I leave Western Iwant to be comfortable in asking for
support without feeling like I let myself down in some way. I believe this would be a problem that could be overcome by anyone just by being
open about it, and realizing you might have this problem. When in meetings you could give the floor over to others and ask questions that might
have them open up. Whether you are asking if anyone doesn't understand, have any ideas or feel concerned about anything, this could help open
up others to the option of needing to ask for assistance. You can also have open discussions about asking for help and what it means to the group.
In our phase 5 careers I want to be able to build a culture with my employee where asking for help is encouraged. To accomplish this I will attempt
to ask SMARTly, not assume what others know or don't know, and try to ask the right questions. When asking for help you also want to make sure
they are not busy and you have their full attention to really convey the need that you would like to make clear. Overall I am glad that we took the
time to participate in the ropes course to pick up all these lessons that can be brought into phase 5 with us. I have never really thought of how

Therapy Essay
Therapy
Today many people seek professional therapy or counseling for a limited amount of time in order to deal with different life crises. Others seek
professional help for the majority of their lives in order to deal with a psychological disorder. After reading this chapter on Therapy, I learned that this
was not always the case, and that the way our society views therapy, and the meaning of therapy, has changed dramatically of the years. This chapter not
only explains the evolution of therapy, it explores the different therapeutic approaches.
I found chapter thirteen to be very interesting. Learning about the different types of therapy was very helpful. I chose to write about...show more

Trephining was the most disturbing picture. I am still amazed that people thought that anything whatsoever could be solved by chiseling away at a
person's head. The picture of the skull was extremely disturbing: I cannot even fathom how horrible it would have been to be a patient of such
practices. Also one would think that after the first gaping hole in a person's head with no results, the chiseling would stop. However it is obvious by the
number of holes in the skull that this was a procedure that was tried multiple times on one patient. Other than the trephined skull, I also found it
unusual that bloodletting was such a common practice. It was particularly troubling to learn that it was used for treating mania, which is something I
have experienced.
All of the information on the different types of therapies has helped me to more fully understand psychology. This chapter is dedicated to explaining
the current methods of treating people with psychological disorders in order to help them through a rough time in life. This chapter on therapy shows
the side of psychology that is the result of the hard work of a multitude of psychologists and doctors.
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which entitles me to long hours of therapy to help me understand and deal with my illness.

Personal Statement : A Cry For Help Essay
Title : A Cry for Help
Purpose: My purpose of the topic is to raise suicide awareness
Thesis: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Introduction:
1.How much do you know about suicide?
2.Many of you are not familiar with the rising suicide deaths in America. Dealing with the familiarization suicide shouldn't be too difficult. Reason
behind why I say this is because suicide deaths are widely discussed with the media. Especially among teenagers.

from bullying. It can also come from stress, grief, and terminal illness that make people consider suicide.

Asking For Help Essay
Prior to completing Skip Downing's "On Course Self Assessment," I was starting to realize one of my most sabotaging behaviors. I find it incredibly
difficult to say a three–word phrase. When it comes to assisting others, I have no problem lending a helping hand, but I cannot tell anyone that "I need
help." In writing this paper I hope to recognize the roots of my problem and adopt a plan to aid me in overcoming this negative behavior. After I took
the self–assessment and received a low score in the area of interdependence, I began considering options for overcoming my hesitation so that I may
become a successful student. The first strategy is to learn that I cannot do everything by myself. Typically, I never ask for...show more content...
We cannot know everything, and we can all benefit from mutual helping relationships. I may need someone to explain something discussed in
Psychology class today and that person may need the favor returned for English. Working together and helping others is important in almost every
area of life. I do not need to feel ashamed for reaching out first. As a result of doing the assessment, I realized that I seldom request and often reject
offers of assistance. A successful student would employ interdependence by actively seeking out mutually supportive relationships to help achieve their
goals and dreams, while doing the same for others in return. I chose this topic because I do not want to be a struggling student! Interdependence is a
key factor in being successful in college. In order to obtain a degree a college student must do well in all areas of their studies. To accomplish that,
he or she must comprehend the subject matter taught and apply what they learn. If a student does not understand something and refuses to ask for
help when it is readily available, they are only hurting themselves. Three little words can make all the difference. By asking someone who is more
knowledgeable than they may be in a certain area, they could find the missing pieces that lead to total understanding. This will enable them to perform
better on my assignments and to keep moving forward towards that college degree. College can be an

Essay about Student Financial Assistance
Student Financial Assistance
George W. Bush said education is "the great lifting mechanism of an egalitarian society." He means, education is the great equalizer amongst
individuals in a society established on equality. Unfortunately, access to education is not always as equal, nor are we living in an egalitarian society. In
1965, congress passed legislation, namely the Higher Education Act of 1965, in order to diminish the distance between students and the reality of higher
education. Despite their seemingly positive intentions, the office of Student Financial Assistance has evolved into a very unpopular entity of the
executive branch. Applicants are continuously frustrated by the aid, or lack of aid, that they are awarded. I...show more content...
Why are there so many loans as opposed to grants offered?" And plainly, "Why didn't I get more?"
Questions such as these, combined with crude assumptions, lead to an overall negative opinion and an overall distrust of the system. I conducted an
informal survey among 150 college students asking them if their opinion of student–aid and how it is allocated is a negative one, a positive one, or if
they feel indifferent on the topic. The results are not astounding with over 68% reporting a negative opinion, while only a little over 12% said they felt
positively about it. The distrust of the system goes as far as some applicants feeling that the only way to attain the amount of aid they need is by
cheating on the application.
A friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, testified that she did not claim her father's six–figure income as contributing to the family's income.
This is possible because her parents are divorced. On the application form, the office allows the applicant to distinguish whether both or only one parent
is contributing to the tuition. The intent of this clause was to aid applicants who have a parent who will not be contributing to the cost of their
education; it was not intended to aid applicants in cheating the government, and furthermore, in cheating their peers. Another friend of mine, whom I
interviewed because we once

Reflective Essay On Helping People
We always talked about helping others. I noticed that you love helping people, it gives you joy to help others, and I think that's something we both
share. I understand now, when you cannot help me, you don't feel the joy. In a way you feel like you can't help me and it may feel like a rejection. I
am not rejecting you when you offer help and I say no. There are times where I should have asked for help and I didn't, because I thought you couldn't,
which isn't an excuse, I should have given you a chance. I didn't ask for help because I was embarrassed and thought you would think less of me. I
have problems with helping others and my professor actually pulled me aside from the final and wanted me to write why I felt like I need to be a savoir,
and help others so much. I talked to her after class as a therapist and not a professor. I realized that what I thought was helping, was actually not. I
thought all help was good and it's not. When I go out my way and help others who been helped their whole lives, I'm just feeding into what they want.
I'm not letting them learn on their own, and will continue to help, and its actually not helping at all. I am guilty of doing that to you sometimes. I'm
always trying to help and it's not real help and we get stuck in the same cycle.
We went back and forth on this relationship, at one point you didn't want it, and I did, another point you wanted it and I didn't. There were points
where we both wanted it and It was wonderful. I had learned

Friendship Essay: Helping a Friend in Need
It is very sad to see a friend or relative suffering or in need, especially when they pretend that everything is all right. It is a delicate situation when
approaching someone in this predicament, as often a person's pride stands in the way of reaching out for comfort. How to offer your help to an
independent friend or relative in this position requires a bit of clever manipulation and a not–so– obvious plan in order to help.
If the problem at hand is a financial matter, the first response would be to offer them a loan. On the other hand, most people would be embarrassed to
admit to this, and will perhaps be offended at the offer. However, instead of outright offering them money, trading a service in return for payment
would not seem as...show more content...
This will certainly make them feel better and will be helping them out at the same time.
Friends or relatives who have children may experience times when they cannot afford to give them the luxuries of toys, games or name brand
clothing. At the same time, while most children do not understand hard times, these friends or relatives hurt inside because of this. It would
probably be insulting to them if you bought a bag of toys, a new wardrobe for the kids or a slew of games and delivered these items in order to
help. Overall, there is a way to present such items in a fashion that will not seem like charity. While honesty is the best policy, lending a helping
hand when we are in a position to do so often takes precedence. Telling our life long friend or family member that our children received clothing as a
gift, but it did not fit, or perhaps received a duplicate toy or game and offering it to their children is a way to help in times of despair.
Many times when family or friends decide to meet or get together to go out for dinner, drinks, or even to a movie, we take for granite the expense of
these excursions and expect that everyone can participate. On the contrary, when a friend or relative bows out, the reason why they decline becomes
obvious. Here again, little white lies come in to play, and compassion takes over. Mentioning to this friend or relative that you

The Help by Kathryn Stockett Essay
The Help
The book , The Help by Kathryn Stockett, is about a women named Aibileen who is a black maid. She is taking care of her 17th white baby now.
She works for a woman named Miss Leefolt. Aibileen has never disobeyed an order in her life and never intends to do so. Her friend Minny is the
exact opposite. When she is around her boss, she has to hold herself back from sassing them all the time. Skeeter Phelan is different than the rest of
the white ladies. She thinks that blacks aren't all that bad. She decides to write a book about the lives of maids for white ladies. Otherwise known as

"I try to contribute to the conversation. 'Definitely Raleigh if it's a boy.' "– (Page 183) Skeeter didn't contribute to the conversation too much because
she wasn't comfortable with her friends. I think that overall, there is lots of variety to the three. The three girls working together begins to create
the solution to the main conflict. The main conflict in this case is blacks are being treated in a way that is not fair. They are being treated as if they
are disease carrying things. Skeeter wants to change that perspective on people. That's why she wants to write a book on how black maids are treated
in Mississippi. "I turn and hear Pascagoula's knock on my door. That's when the idea hit me. No. I couldn't. That would be . . . crossing the line." –
(Page 104) This was foreshadowing what Skeeter would do next. It let the reader know what was going to happen. Minny and Aibileen are there
to help Skeeter with her book. They are the interviews. At first, the book starts out with Aibileen doing a normal day of work. She notices the
Skeeter isn't like all the other ladies. She's more polite. When Skeeter gets a job at the local newspaper she starts to go to Aibileen for help with the
Miss Myrna articles. She is even willing to pay her to help her. " 'For your help,' I say quietly, ' I've put away five dollars for every article. It's up to
thirty–five dollars now.' " (Page 126) This shows that Skeeter is quite

Disabilities : People With Disabilities Essay
People with Disabilities
In 2012, the U.S. Census Bureau released a report that approximately 1 in every 5 Americans has a disability, which translated into almost 56.7
million people (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). Moreover, more than half of that population was severely disabled. However, many disabled people are
stigmatized and excluded from everyday activities, do not receive the required disability–related services, and are not accorded equal access to
employment opportunities, education, and health care. Despite the treatment people with disabilities get from other people, disability has been
recognized as a human rights issue. It also proves that people with disabilities increasingly lead poor lives and experience poor socio–economic
outcomes than other people.
Since disability is a human condition, the majority of the people in the world will at some point in their lives experience a permanent or temporary
impairment, especially when they grow old. Disability is contested, multidimensional, dynamic, and complex and thus refers to difficulties persons
encounter in the body functioning, socially, physically, and mentally. It is the term used to refer to participation restrictions, activity limitations, and
physical impairments when the disabled persons interact with their contextual factors. One of the impairments afflicting people is mental retardation,
which results in social, physical, speech, and learning disabilities. Mental retardation is

Analysis Of The Movie ' The Help ' Essay
The film "The Help" (2011), is a story based on the daily lives of prominent white women and the relationships with their African–American
housemaids in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s Civil Rights movement in America. A well–to–do white woman and central character in this film,
Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, aspires to be a journalist and decides to write and publish an exposГ© of the stories of the housemaids in Jackson to
achieve this goal, however, only two maids, Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson are willing to discuss their experiences with her. The other maid's in
Jackson resist telling Skeeter their stories, fearing the punishments they would endure if the authorities were to find out. In spite of this, after the
malicious arrest of one of their befriended maids, all of the maids begin to share their experiences, which consist of racial hostility and being treated as
intrinsically subservient to white people. The story Skeeter publishes entitled The Help, creates a disturbance among the white families in Jackson, by
exposing the racism the maids are faced with, forcing the white families to reflect upon how they have treated their maids. The storyline represented in
The Help exhibits examples of the primordial approach to race and ethnicity, as well as numerous sociological concepts including segregation,
internalized oppression, and white privilege, which will be exemplified in this paper in order to uncover the race relations evident within this film.

The Help Essay
The Help The movie The Help is based off of the beloved book by Kathryn Stockett, The Help. The film is a drama taking place in Jackson,
Mississippi, during the 1960s. Lead actresses include Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and Octavia Spencer. The movie begins with
Eugenia 'Skeeter' Phelan being accepted for a job at the Jackson newspaper as a journalist for the cleaning column. Phelan, who dreams of being a
writer, meets with her friend Elizabeth Leefolt's African American maid, Aibileen Clark. Phelan aspires to reveal the truth about the racism taking place
in Jackson, and wishes to collect some of Clark's stories. Clark, however, has mixed feelings about sharing these stories, because she knows the
violence and suffering that could result if anyone caught her telling stories about her employers. After Clark's best friend, Minny Jackson, is...show

The maids wear simple blue dresses with a white apron, white socks, and black shoes. The wealthy, popular women wear dresses with floral print
throughout, and refrain from revealing too much. Strings of pearls and pearl earrings worn by the characters reflect popular sixties jewelry. Finally, the
distinguished hairstyles of the characters exemplify the setting remarkably well. The women wear their hair bumped up and voluminous, and normally
less than shoulder–length, with the ends flipped and curled. Headbands and bows make excellent sixties accessories in this film. These costumes
signify status and divide between race and add to the theme of the film. I have awarded The Help with five out of five stars because it is the perfect
blend for a movie. It includes heartbreaking stories, unbelievable humor, and thrilling drama. In the end, this movie will leave you thinking about it for

Asking for Help
Diploma *In* Psychology: Ethical Issues In Psychology And Counseling Asking For Help {draw:frame} When one asks for help, it could mean
that one is unable to solve the problems that trouble him or her. Moreover, that also means that one has no grip over his or her problems and is
seeking for a way out. By asking for help, one hopes to get assistance to ease or relieve his or her burden. A person with emotional difficulties might
find it hard for them to function normally, therefore school and work could be affected. I would like to use the example of my close friend, Jesse.
She was secretly pregnant after a one night fling during the midst of our major O levels exam. Lost, scared and confused, she does not have the courage

There are similar reasons as to why we find it hard to ask for help from our parents or people, because sometimes they may get involved. This is just
like how Jesse could not find anyone to confide her problem in as she felt that we could not understand her position and might even be harsh on
her like how her parents were. There are some solutions to make asking for help easier. If one is uncomfortable to ask for help personally from
close friends they can try communicating by email, writing a letter to Aunt Agony, online chat line and phone help line. The new age of online
social media communication enable one to remain anonymous and be able to speak about his or her problems more comfortably. Holding on to
personal issues and not allowing our problems to be known keeps us socially isolated, and therefore insecure. However, by seeking for help
through counseling, we will feel connected and not all alone. I feel that why people ask for help not because they really do not know how to solve
their problems. Mostly, they just want to ask for opinions and someone to listen to their problem. And to do what other think it's right according, so
as not to be an outcast in our society. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, esteem presents the normal human desire to be accepted and valued
by others. Maslow noted two versions of esteem needs, a lower one and a higher one. The lower one is the need for the respect of

The Importance Of Social Support
The Importance of Social Support Reutter & Kushner (2015), states that social support holds a great importance for all individuals, it is a way to
maintain supportive connections and relationships, it has the potential to identify multiple risk factors and it provides a way to maintain control over
ones lives (p. 7). I whole–heartedly support the statement above, for social support does play a positive role in a person's life due to the outlets they
provide. As for families social support can also serve as a way to cope with stress from certain challenges (Steward, M., Makawarimba, E., Beiser, M.,
Neufeld A., Simich L., & Spitzer, D., 2010, p. 92). Support services can even provide their cliental with parenting strategies (through...show more

Each article illustrates that if a person or family experiences a stressful event in their lives, a social support system can provide them with a means
of expression, advice and even simple physical or moral support. Social support to me is a way a family can find advice and a way to simply release
stress. By belonging into a group that allows you to find strength within it, you are more able to build resilience and lower your stress level during hard
times, thus decrease the risk for negative health impacts.
The Impacts and Trend on Culturally Diverse Families On the flip side, the lack of social support can increase the risk of a person feeling rejected
and even detached from others (Faith Ozbay, S., 2015). Without an outlet for information of effective coping strategies or meaningful relationships
that foster positive hormones a person's stress levels will increase as well (Faith Ozbay, S., 2015). Take into account for example immigrant
families: the challenges associated with new settlement, new housing and employment can create a great deal of stress. Without help from others
such as family and friends, some families are unable to cope with adversity (Chadwick & Collins, 2015, p. 221). This can lead to an increase risk of
developing poor mental health outcomes such as depression and substance use, due to the amount of different stressors present in their lives
(Chadwick & Collins, 2015, p. 221). Overall a lack of support networks can

Why Do People Help Others? Essay
To discuss why people help others we must consider whether people are by nature selfless or selfish. The dominant view today in psychology is of
universal egoism; that we are fundamentally selfish, and that altruism (helping motivated by the wish to benefit another person) an impossibility.One
form of universal egoism is Piliavin et al's "arousal: cost–reward" model, whereby faced with a potential helping situation we weigh the
probable costs and rewards of alternative courses of action, then arrive at a decision which produces the best outcome for ourselves.Darley and Batson
(1973) conducted an experiment into the effect of the cost time in the decision to offer help. They found that 63% of students with plenty of time to get

Piliavin found that there is evidence of racism occurring in our decisions to help when he found that blacks were much more likely to help a black
drunk, and whites a white drunk. This suggests that we are less likely to help those with the least genes in common with us.Chagnon & Bugos
(1979), in an analysis of fighting in Southern Venezuela, found that the likelihood of a person helping another was strongly correlated with their
genetic relatedness to the person.However, how do we account for cases of altruism on the part of animals who are not related?
This could be explained by the fact that all members of a species have an element of shared genes even if not at all closely related. Trivers (1971),
however, proposed the principle of delayed reciprocal altruism, whereby animals return favours, therefore helpful behaviour is worthwhile because it is
likely to be returned. For example, Packer (1977) observed that male baboons which assisted another male in courting were more likely to receive this
help in return. Batson (1987), in contradiction with universal egoism proposed the "empathy–altruism" hypothesis. He saw helping as the
result of feeling empathy (experiencing another's emotions). By experimentally manipulating the degree to which his subjects experienced empathy or
personal distress in a potential helping situation Batson showed that empathetically aroused

Essay on Does Homework Actually Help Students
Everyone at one point in time has complained they have had too much homework. Especially in High School. I was always told homework will help
me because it is a way to practice and fully master the material I needed to learn. In high school students spend a few hours a night doing what they see
as busy work, meaning they do not think it is helping them at all. Some students do not mind work load. They feel doing the problems,writing the short
responses, filling out packets, helps them because they practice and remember the material. Aquestion that has come up is whether assigning packets of
homework, mostly finding a word and it's definition, will help students master material better than assigning less or none at all. I believe that...show
more content...
In cases like this, students do not learn the material. By simply writing many definitions, or even writing wrong definitions, students do not grasp a
deep understanding of concepts or main points of the material. As stated in the book Helping Your Child with Homework, the best type of homework
assignments are the type that include some kind of feedback from the teacher to the student; the homework assigned to students should also be at a
level appropriate for the students learning abilities, and the assignments should challenge the student intellectually (book citation). Packets filled with
simple questions such as " what is meiosis" or "give the definition of simile" do not challenge students and teachers do not give much, or any, feedback
to students with this type of homework. Many argue that it is difficult for teachers to give feedback when they teach one hundred or more students.
The amount of papers they need to grade is high and they simply do not have the time to write comments on every assignment. My answer to this is
simple. Instead of assigning packets of homework, assign a few critical thinking questions. The students would give a brief summary on the main
concept, then perhaps paraphrase a definition that is important to know. Students would then really think about their answers and the teacher could give
comments since they will no longer have to skim packets. Teachers would only have to read

Movie Review: the Help Essay
"The Help"
An emotionally stirring movie taking place in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s, "The Help" stars Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spencer as
three women who share a common motive. This racially tense setting creates the perfect foundation for a drama film such as this. The characters'
personalities in combination with the emotion of the plot develop a socially accurate depiction of the struggles faced by the people of the time. While
the racial aspect of the movie is dominant, viewers may also find compassion and friendship within the conversations and encounters of its characters.
It is commonplace for white families to have black maids serving them at this time. Aibileen (Davis) is a strong–willed maid who is...show more

Most dresses fell below the knees and were patterned in floral prints and clean hemlines. The maids were shown wearing their uniforms for the
majority of the movie, which also displayed modest hemlines and were a pale grey color. The men of Jackson, Mississippi– the few that were shown,
at least– were shown wearing clean–lined suits and cuffed trousers. These middle class people who dressed to impress successfully created an air of
cleanliness and uniformity. The sets of "The Help" were so well designed and accurately portrayed that they probably drew feelings of nostalgia
from audience members who grew up in the time. Linoleum tiles and paneled walls created an ideal setting for a ranch house of a family of middle
class status. Elizabeth's house looked like it was taken from a Good Housekeeping magazine of the sixties. The clean lines and wooden ranch tables
made the viewer absorb the atmosphere and feel as though they were living in the time. The women's homes had plenty of floral wallpaper and
patterned rugs to add to this feeling. Overall, "The Help" provides an insightful storyline taking place in the roughness of the simmering racial
prejudices of the 1960s. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and felt like I knew the strong characters on a personal level and lived through the pain of the
time with them. The sets and costumes were well designed and came together to play a crucial role in the formation of the plot. I recommend this

The Help Essay
The Help by Kathryn Stockett The storyline of The Help starts when young Eugenia Phelan, known to her friends as "Skeeter", returns to her
home in Jackson, Mississippi, after graduating college. The time period is during the 1960s and there is high tension because of racism and the
Civil Rights Movement. Skeeter is surprised when she does not find her beloved maid, Constantine, at home. What happened to Constantine is a
mystery to Skeeter and no one seems to answer her hovering questions. Skeeter was unlike her friends because of the fact that she went to college
and is unmarried. Skeeter is a part of a group that meets to play bridge once a week. Skeeter's friends Hilly Holbrook and Elizabeth Leefolt are in
the bridge group. Hilly is the president of the Junior Women's League, which Skeeter writes the newsletter for. Hilly is known for being quite
manipulative and the kind to always get what she wants. Skeeter, Elizabeth, and Hilly were all very close in high school but Skeeter became distant
from them because of their differences. Both Hilly...show more content...
She cares for Elizabeth's child and does all of the work around the house. As Aibileen and Skeeter work together to answer the "Miss Myrna"
questions, Skeeter gets the idea to write a book about domestic maids. Skeeter submits her idea to Harper & Row Publishing and the company
expressed interest. The company said that they would consider publishing under a few conditions– Skeeter had to include at least twelve maids and
finish the book before the New Year. Aibileen convinced her candid friend, Minny (Hilly's mother's former maid), to get involved in the story but
Skeeter still needed ten more. With tensions created by the Civil Rights Movement, Skeeter struggled to find maids that would agree to take such a
risk, but when Hilly takes things a little too far, eleven maids from Aibileen's church agreed to tell Skeeter their

Essay About Ask For Help

  • 1. Essay About Ask For Help This activity helped the whole class get out of their seats and start to really connect with each other and spend time getting to know one another on another level. One of the lessons I took away was to be open in asking for help when I need it. I often find it difficult to ask for help because I feel I am bothering others and I should figure it out on my own. I possibly need to let go of my own will power and determination and let another give me suggestions. Another aspect I would like to take with me is all the activities that are so simple in organizing team work and opportunities to open up to others. Steven was very prepared with games that would help us work as a unit, as well as opening up to others about our lives. I would also...show more content... When Steven first said that we could ask for help I immediately pushed that notion aside and put full faith in my ability to find it myself. I know that after we graduate it will only become that much harder to ask for help in our career life, so before I leave Western Iwant to be comfortable in asking for support without feeling like I let myself down in some way. I believe this would be a problem that could be overcome by anyone just by being open about it, and realizing you might have this problem. When in meetings you could give the floor over to others and ask questions that might have them open up. Whether you are asking if anyone doesn't understand, have any ideas or feel concerned about anything, this could help open up others to the option of needing to ask for assistance. You can also have open discussions about asking for help and what it means to the group. In our phase 5 careers I want to be able to build a culture with my employee where asking for help is encouraged. To accomplish this I will attempt to ask SMARTly, not assume what others know or don't know, and try to ask the right questions. When asking for help you also want to make sure they are not busy and you have their full attention to really convey the need that you would like to make clear. Overall I am glad that we took the time to participate in the ropes course to pick up all these lessons that can be brought into phase 5 with us. I have never really thought of how Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Therapy Essay Therapy Today many people seek professional therapy or counseling for a limited amount of time in order to deal with different life crises. Others seek professional help for the majority of their lives in order to deal with a psychological disorder. After reading this chapter on Therapy, I learned that this was not always the case, and that the way our society views therapy, and the meaning of therapy, has changed dramatically of the years. This chapter not only explains the evolution of therapy, it explores the different therapeutic approaches. I found chapter thirteen to be very interesting. Learning about the different types of therapy was very helpful. I chose to write about...show more content... Trephining was the most disturbing picture. I am still amazed that people thought that anything whatsoever could be solved by chiseling away at a person's head. The picture of the skull was extremely disturbing: I cannot even fathom how horrible it would have been to be a patient of such practices. Also one would think that after the first gaping hole in a person's head with no results, the chiseling would stop. However it is obvious by the number of holes in the skull that this was a procedure that was tried multiple times on one patient. Other than the trephined skull, I also found it unusual that bloodletting was such a common practice. It was particularly troubling to learn that it was used for treating mania, which is something I have experienced. All of the information on the different types of therapies has helped me to more fully understand psychology. This chapter is dedicated to explaining the current methods of treating people with psychological disorders in order to help them through a rough time in life. This chapter on therapy shows the side of psychology that is the result of the hard work of a multitude of psychologists and doctors. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which entitles me to long hours of therapy to help me understand and deal with my illness. Although I Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Introduction: 1.How much do you know about suicide? 2.Many of you are not familiar with the rising suicide deaths in America. Dealing with the familiarization suicide shouldn't be too difficult.

  • 4. Asking For Help Essay Prior to completing Skip Downing's "On Course Self Assessment," I was starting to realize one of my most sabotaging behaviors. I find it incredibly difficult to say a three–word phrase. When it comes to assisting others, I have no problem lending a helping hand, but I cannot tell anyone that "I need help." In writing this paper I hope to recognize the roots of my problem and adopt a plan to aid me in overcoming this negative behavior. After I took the self–assessment and received a low score in the area of interdependence, I began considering options for overcoming my hesitation so that I may become a successful student. The first strategy is to learn that I cannot do everything by myself. Typically, I never ask for...show more content... We cannot know everything, and we can all benefit from mutual helping relationships. I may need someone to explain something discussed in Psychology class today and that person may need the favor returned for English. Working together and helping others is important in almost every area of life. I do not need to feel ashamed for reaching out first. As a result of doing the assessment, I realized that I seldom request and often reject offers of assistance. A successful student would employ interdependence by actively seeking out mutually supportive relationships to help achieve their goals and dreams, while doing the same for others in return. I chose this topic because I do not want to be a struggling student! Interdependence is a key factor in being successful in college. In order to obtain a degree a college student must do well in all areas of their studies. To accomplish that, he or she must comprehend the subject matter taught and apply what they learn. If a student does not understand something and refuses to ask for help when it is readily available, they are only hurting themselves. Three little words can make all the difference. By asking someone who is more knowledgeable than they may be in a certain area, they could find the missing pieces that lead to total understanding. This will enable them to perform better on my assignments and to keep moving forward towards that college degree. College can be an Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Essay about Student Financial Assistance Student Financial Assistance George W. Bush said education is "the great lifting mechanism of an egalitarian society." He means, education is the great equalizer amongst individuals in a society established on equality. Unfortunately, access to education is not always as equal, nor are we living in an egalitarian society. In 1965, congress passed legislation, namely the Higher Education Act of 1965, in order to diminish the distance between students and the reality of higher education. Despite their seemingly positive intentions, the office of Student Financial Assistance has evolved into a very unpopular entity of the executive branch. Applicants are continuously frustrated by the aid, or lack of aid, that they are awarded. I...show more content... Why are there so many loans as opposed to grants offered?" And plainly, "Why didn't I get more?" Questions such as these, combined with crude assumptions, lead to an overall negative opinion and an overall distrust of the system. I conducted an informal survey among 150 college students asking them if their opinion of student–aid and how it is allocated is a negative one, a positive one, or if they feel indifferent on the topic. The results are not astounding with over 68% reporting a negative opinion, while only a little over 12% said they felt positively about it. The distrust of the system goes as far as some applicants feeling that the only way to attain the amount of aid they need is by cheating on the application. A friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, testified that she did not claim her father's six–figure income as contributing to the family's income. This is possible because her parents are divorced. On the application form, the office allows the applicant to distinguish whether both or only one parent is contributing to the tuition. The intent of this clause was to aid applicants who have a parent who will not be contributing to the cost of their education; it was not intended to aid applicants in cheating the government, and furthermore, in cheating their peers. Another friend of mine, whom I interviewed because we once Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Reflective Essay On Helping People We always talked about helping others. I noticed that you love helping people, it gives you joy to help others, and I think that's something we both share. I understand now, when you cannot help me, you don't feel the joy. In a way you feel like you can't help me and it may feel like a rejection. I am not rejecting you when you offer help and I say no. There are times where I should have asked for help and I didn't, because I thought you couldn't, which isn't an excuse, I should have given you a chance. I didn't ask for help because I was embarrassed and thought you would think less of me. I have problems with helping others and my professor actually pulled me aside from the final and wanted me to write why I felt like I need to be a savoir, and help others so much. I talked to her after class as a therapist and not a professor. I realized that what I thought was helping, was actually not. I thought all help was good and it's not. When I go out my way and help others who been helped their whole lives, I'm just feeding into what they want. I'm not letting them learn on their own, and will continue to help, and its actually not helping at all. I am guilty of doing that to you sometimes. I'm always trying to help and it's not real help and we get stuck in the same cycle. We went back and forth on this relationship, at one point you didn't want it, and I did, another point you wanted it and I didn't. There were points where we both wanted it and It was wonderful.

  • 7. Friendship Essay: Helping a Friend in Need It is very sad to see a friend or relative suffering or in need, especially when they pretend that everything is all right. It is a delicate situation when approaching someone in this predicament, as often a person's pride stands in the way of reaching out for comfort. How to offer your help to an independent friend or relative in this position requires a bit of clever manipulation and a not–so– obvious plan in order to help. If the problem at hand is a financial matter, the first response would be to offer them a loan. On the other hand, most people would be embarrassed to admit to this, and will perhaps be offended at the offer. However, instead of outright offering them money, trading a service in return for payment would not seem as...show more content... This will certainly make them feel better and will be helping them out at the same time. Friends or relatives who have children may experience times when they cannot afford to give them the luxuries of toys, games or name brand clothing. At the same time, while most children do not understand hard times, these friends or relatives hurt inside because of this. It would probably be insulting to them if you bought a bag of toys, a new wardrobe for the kids or a slew of games and delivered these items in order to help. Overall, there is a way to present such items in a fashion that will not seem like charity. While honesty is the best policy, lending a helping hand when we are in a position to do so often takes precedence. Telling our life long friend or family member that our children received clothing as a gift, but it did not fit, or perhaps received a duplicate toy or game and offering it to their children is a way to help in times of despair. Many times when family or friends decide to meet or get together to go out for dinner, drinks, or even to a movie, we take for granite the expense of these excursions and expect that everyone can participate. On the contrary, when a friend or relative bows out, the reason why they decline becomes obvious. Here again, little white lies come in to play, and compassion takes over. Mentioning to this friend or relative that you Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. The Help by Kathryn Stockett Essay The Help The book , The Help by Kathryn Stockett, is about a women named Aibileen who is a black maid. She is taking care of her 17th white baby now. She works for a woman named Miss Leefolt. Aibileen has never disobeyed an order in her life and never intends to do so. Her friend Minny is the exact opposite. When she is around her boss, she has to hold herself back from sassing them all the time. Skeeter Phelan is different than the rest of the white ladies. She thinks that blacks aren't all that bad. She decides to write a book about the lives of maids for white ladies. Otherwise known as the Help. She with the help of Aibileen and Minny hope to create a book that starts a revolution about what white people think about blacks. Each of ...show more content... "I try to contribute to the conversation. 'Definitely Raleigh if it's a boy.' "– (Page 183) Skeeter didn't contribute to the conversation too much because she wasn't comfortable with her friends. I think that overall, there is lots of variety to the three. The three girls working together begins to create the solution to the main conflict. The main conflict in this case is blacks are being treated in a way that is not fair. They are being treated as if they are disease carrying things. Skeeter wants to change that perspective on people. That's why she wants to write a book on how black maids are treated in Mississippi. "I turn and hear Pascagoula's knock on my door. That's when the idea hit me. No. I couldn't. That would be . . . crossing the line." – (Page 104) This was foreshadowing what Skeeter would do next. It let the reader know what was going to happen. Minny and Aibileen are there to help Skeeter with her book. They are the interviews. At first, the book starts out with Aibileen doing a normal day of work. She notices the Skeeter isn't like all the other ladies. She's more polite. When Skeeter gets a job at the local newspaper she starts to go to Aibileen for help with the Miss Myrna articles. She is even willing to pay her to help her. " 'For your help,' I say quietly, ' I've put away five dollars for every article. It's up to thirty–five dollars now.'

  • 9. Disabilities : People With Disabilities Essay People with Disabilities In 2012, the U.S. Census Bureau released a report that approximately 1 in every 5 Americans has a disability, which translated into almost 56.7 million people (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). Moreover, more than half of that population was severely disabled. However, many disabled people are stigmatized and excluded from everyday activities, do not receive the required disability–related services, and are not accorded equal access to employment opportunities, education, and health care. Despite the treatment people with disabilities get from other people, disability has been recognized as a human rights issue. It also proves that people with disabilities increasingly lead poor lives and experience poor socio–economic outcomes than other people. Since disability is a human condition, the majority of the people in the world will at some point in their lives experience a permanent or temporary impairment, especially when they grow old. Disability is contested, multidimensional, dynamic, and complex and thus refers to difficulties persons encounter in the body functioning, socially, physically, and mentally. It is the term used to refer to participation restrictions, activity limitations, and physical impairments when the disabled persons interact with their contextual factors. One of the impairments afflicting people is mental retardation, which results in social, physical, speech, and learning disabilities. Mental retardation is Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Analysis Of The Movie ' The Help ' Essay The film "The Help" (2011), is a story based on the daily lives of prominent white women and the relationships with their African–American housemaids in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s Civil Rights movement in America. A well–to–do white woman and central character in this film, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, aspires to be a journalist and decides to write and publish an exposГ© of the stories of the housemaids in Jackson to achieve this goal, however, only two maids, Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson are willing to discuss their experiences with her. The other maid's in Jackson resist telling Skeeter their stories, fearing the punishments they would endure if the authorities were to find out. In spite of this, after the malicious arrest of one of their befriended maids, all of the maids begin to share their experiences, which consist of racial hostility and being treated as intrinsically subservient to white people. The story Skeeter publishes entitled The Help, creates a disturbance among the white families in Jackson, by exposing the racism the maids are faced with, forcing the white families to reflect upon how they have treated their maids. The storyline represented in The Help exhibits examples of the primordial approach to race and ethnicity, as well as numerous sociological concepts including segregation, internalized oppression, and white privilege, which will be exemplified in this paper in order to uncover the race relations evident within this film.

  • 11. The Help Essay The Help The movie The Help is based off of the beloved book by Kathryn Stockett, The Help. The film is a drama taking place in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s. Lead actresses include Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and Octavia Spencer. The movie begins with Eugenia 'Skeeter' Phelan being accepted for a job at the Jackson newspaper as a journalist for the cleaning column. Phelan, who dreams of being a writer, meets with her friend Elizabeth Leefolt's African American maid, Aibileen Clark. Phelan aspires to reveal the truth about the racism taking place in Jackson, and wishes to collect some of Clark's stories. Clark, however, has mixed feelings about sharing these stories, because she knows the violence and suffering that could result if anyone caught her telling stories about her employers. After Clark's best friend, Minny Jackson, is...show more content... The maids wear simple blue dresses with a white apron, white socks, and black shoes. The wealthy, popular women wear dresses with floral print throughout, and refrain from revealing too much. Strings of pearls and pearl earrings worn by the characters reflect popular sixties jewelry. Finally, the distinguished hairstyles of the characters exemplify the setting remarkably well. The women wear their hair bumped up and voluminous, and normally less than shoulder–length, with the ends flipped and curled. Headbands and bows make excellent sixties accessories in this film. These costumes signify status and divide between race and add to the theme of the film. I have awarded The Help with five out of five stars because it is the perfect blend for a movie. It includes heartbreaking stories, unbelievable humor, and thrilling drama. In the end, this movie will leave you thinking about it for hours. It's an unforgettable experience that one just has to know for Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Asking for Help Diploma *In* Psychology: Ethical Issues In Psychology And Counseling Asking For Help {draw:frame} When one asks for help, it could mean that one is unable to solve the problems that trouble him or her. Moreover, that also means that one has no grip over his or her problems and is seeking for a way out. By asking for help, one hopes to get assistance to ease or relieve his or her burden. A person with emotional difficulties might find it hard for them to function normally, therefore school and work could be affected. I would like to use the example of my close friend, Jesse. She was secretly pregnant after a one night fling during the midst of our major O levels exam. Lost, scared and confused, she does not have the courage ...show more content... There are similar reasons as to why we find it hard to ask for help from our parents or people, because sometimes they may get involved. This is just like how Jesse could not find anyone to confide her problem in as she felt that we could not understand her position and might even be harsh on her like how her parents were. There are some solutions to make asking for help easier. If one is uncomfortable to ask for help personally from close friends they can try communicating by email, writing a letter to Aunt Agony, online chat line and phone help line. The new age of online social media communication enable one to remain anonymous and be able to speak about his or her problems more comfortably. Holding on to personal issues and not allowing our problems to be known keeps us socially isolated, and therefore insecure. However, by seeking for help through counseling, we will feel connected and not all alone. I feel that why people ask for help not because they really do not know how to solve their problems. Mostly, they just want to ask for opinions and someone to listen to their problem. And to do what other think it's right according, so as not to be an outcast in our society. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, esteem presents the normal human desire to be accepted and valued by others. Maslow noted two versions of esteem needs, a lower one and a higher one. The lower one is the need for the respect of Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. The Importance Of Social Support The Importance of Social Support Reutter & Kushner (2015), states that social support holds a great importance for all individuals, it is a way to maintain supportive connections and relationships, it has the potential to identify multiple risk factors and it provides a way to maintain control over ones lives (p. 7). I whole–heartedly support the statement above, for social support does play a positive role in a person's life due to the outlets they provide. As for families social support can also serve as a way to cope with stress from certain challenges (Steward, M., Makawarimba, E., Beiser, M., Neufeld A., Simich L., & Spitzer, D., 2010, p. 92).

Social support to me is a way a family can find advice and a way to simply release stress. By belonging into a group that allows you to find strength within it, you are more able to build resilience and lower your stress level during hard times, thus decrease the risk for negative health impacts. The Impacts and Trend on Culturally Diverse Families On the flip side, the lack of social support can increase the risk of a person feeling rejected and even detached from others (Faith Ozbay, S., 2015). Without an outlet for information of effective coping strategies or meaningful relationships that foster positive hormones a person's stress levels will increase as well (Faith Ozbay, S., 2015). Take into account for example immigrant families: the challenges associated with new settlement, new housing and employment can create a great deal of stress. Without help from others such as family and friends, some families are unable to cope with adversity (Chadwick & Collins, 2015, p. 221). This can lead to an increase risk of developing poor mental health outcomes such as depression and substance use, due to the amount of different stressors present in their lives (Chadwick & Collins, 2015, p. 221).

  • 14. Why Do People Help Others? Essay To discuss why people help others we must consider whether people are by nature selfless or selfish. The dominant view today in psychology is of universal egoism; that we are fundamentally selfish, and that altruism (helping motivated by the wish to benefit another person) an impossibility.One form of universal egoism is Piliavin et al's "arousal: cost–reward" model, whereby faced with a potential helping situation we weigh the probable costs and rewards of alternative courses of action, then arrive at a decision which produces the best outcome for ourselves.Darley and Batson (1973) conducted an experiment into the effect of the cost time in the decision to offer help. They found that 63% of students with plenty of time to get ...show more content... Piliavin found that there is evidence of racism occurring in our decisions to help when he found that blacks were much more likely to help a black drunk, and whites a white drunk. This suggests that we are less likely to help those with the least genes in common with us.Chagnon & Bugos (1979), in an analysis of fighting in Southern Venezuela, found that the likelihood of a person helping another was strongly correlated with their genetic relatedness to the person.However, how do we account for cases of altruism on the part of animals who are not related? This could be explained by the fact that all members of a species have an element of shared genes even if not at all closely related. Trivers (1971), however, proposed the principle of delayed reciprocal altruism, whereby animals return favours, therefore helpful behaviour is worthwhile because it is likely to be returned. For example, Packer (1977) observed that male baboons which assisted another male in courting were more likely to receive this help in return. Batson (1987), in contradiction with universal egoism proposed the "empathy–altruism" hypothesis. He saw helping as the result of feeling empathy (experiencing another's emotions). By experimentally manipulating the degree to which his subjects experienced empathy or personal distress in a potential helping situation Batson showed that empathetically aroused Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Essay on Does Homework Actually Help Students Everyone at one point in time has complained they have had too much homework. Especially in High School. I was always told homework will help me because it is a way to practice and fully master the material I needed to learn. In high school students spend a few hours a night doing what they see as busy work, meaning they do not think it is helping them at all. Some students do not mind work load. They feel doing the problems,writing the short responses, filling out packets, helps them because they practice and remember the material. Aquestion that has come up is whether assigning packets of homework, mostly finding a word and it's definition, will help students master material better than assigning less or none at all. I believe that...show more content... In cases like this, students do not learn the material. By simply writing many definitions, or even writing wrong definitions, students do not grasp a deep understanding of concepts or main points of the material. As stated in the book Helping Your Child with Homework, the best type of homework assignments are the type that include some kind of feedback from the teacher to the student; the homework assigned to students should also be at a level appropriate for the students learning abilities, and the assignments should challenge the student intellectually (book citation). Packets filled with simple questions such as " what is meiosis" or "give the definition of simile" do not challenge students and teachers do not give much, or any, feedback to students with this type of homework. Many argue that it is difficult for teachers to give feedback when they teach one hundred or more students. The amount of papers they need to grade is high and they simply do not have the time to write comments on every assignment. My answer to this is simple. Instead of assigning packets of homework, assign a few critical thinking questions. The students would give a brief summary on the main concept, then perhaps paraphrase a definition that is important to know. Students would then really think about their answers and the teacher could give comments since they will no longer have to skim packets. Teachers would only have to read Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. Movie Review: the Help Essay "The Help" An emotionally stirring movie taking place in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s, "The Help" stars Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spencer as three women who share a common motive. This racially tense setting creates the perfect foundation for a drama film such as this. The characters' personalities in combination with the emotion of the plot develop a socially accurate depiction of the struggles faced by the people of the time. While the racial aspect of the movie is dominant, viewers may also find compassion and friendship within the conversations and encounters of its characters. It is commonplace for white families to have black maids serving them at this time. Aibileen (Davis) is a strong–willed maid who is...show more content... Most dresses fell below the knees and were patterned in floral prints and clean hemlines. The maids were shown wearing their uniforms for the majority of the movie, which also displayed modest hemlines and were a pale grey color. The men of Jackson, Mississippi– the few that were shown, at least– were shown wearing clean–lined suits and cuffed trousers. These middle class people who dressed to impress successfully created an air of cleanliness and uniformity. The sets of "The Help" were so well designed and accurately portrayed that they probably drew feelings of nostalgia from audience members who grew up in the time. Linoleum tiles and paneled walls created an ideal setting for a ranch house of a family of middle class status. Elizabeth's house looked like it was taken from a Good Housekeeping magazine of the sixties. The clean lines and wooden ranch tables made the viewer absorb the atmosphere and feel as though they were living in the time. The women's homes had plenty of floral wallpaper and patterned rugs to add to this feeling. Overall, "The Help" provides an insightful storyline taking place in the roughness of the simmering racial prejudices of the 1960s. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and felt like I knew the strong characters on a personal level and lived through the pain of the time with them. The sets and costumes were well designed and came together to play a crucial role in the formation of the plot. I recommend this Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. The Help Essay The Help by Kathryn Stockett The storyline of The Help starts when young Eugenia Phelan, known to her friends as "Skeeter", returns to her home in Jackson, Mississippi, after graduating college. The time period is during the 1960s and there is high tension because of racism and the Civil Rights Movement. Skeeter is surprised when she does not find her beloved maid, Constantine, at home. What happened to Constantine is a mystery to Skeeter and no one seems to answer her hovering questions. Skeeter was unlike her friends because of the fact that she went to college and is unmarried. Skeeter is a part of a group that meets to play bridge once a week. Skeeter's friends Hilly Holbrook and Elizabeth Leefolt are in the bridge group. Hilly is the president of the Junior Women's League, which Skeeter writes the newsletter for. Hilly is known for being quite manipulative and the kind to always get what she wants. Skeeter, Elizabeth, and Hilly were all very close in high school but Skeeter became distant from them because of their differences. Both Hilly...show more content... She cares for Elizabeth's child and does all of the work around the house. As Aibileen and Skeeter work together to answer the "Miss Myrna" questions, Skeeter gets the idea to write a book about domestic maids. Skeeter submits her idea to Harper & Row Publishing and the company expressed interest. The company said that they would consider publishing under a few conditions– Skeeter had to include at least twelve maids and finish the book before the New Year. Aibileen convinced her candid friend, Minny (Hilly's mother's former maid), to get involved in the story but Skeeter still needed ten more. With tensions created by the Civil Rights Movement, Skeeter struggled to find maids that would agree to take such a risk, but when Hilly takes things a little too far, eleven maids from Aibileen's church agreed to tell Skeeter their Get more content on HelpWriting.net
