Carl Sanburg Grass Analysis
"Most times, it's just a lot easier not to let the world know what's wrong." says Chuck Palahniuk, and American Author. Covering things up is one
thing that humanity has officially mastered. Humanity constantly fights, kills, and commits horrid acts; sometimes even for no good reason at
all. But who is the one that will always be there to cover it up? Well, in Carl Sanburg's poem "Grass", that 'who' is the grass itself. It becomes clear
that no human can cover up his or her own mistakes, so the grass has to be the one to do the dirty work. Carl Sanburg, in his poem "Grass", uses
proper nouns, syntax, and imperative tense to prove that humanity will repeatedly try to destroy itself, and the grass will always hold the power to
cover it up. Bunker Hill, Yorktown, and Normandy are all great battles in American history, and they are also distinguished choices for proper nouns
when trying to prove the point of human destruction. However, Sanburg didn't use these proper nouns. He wrote about "Austerlitz", "Waterloo",
"Gettysburg", "Ypres", and "Verdun". (1, 3, 4, 5) While Gettysburg was a pivotal point in American history, it was not chosen in this text for the size
of the battle, but rather for the number of casualties and for the amount of blood spilled on the battlefield. In fact, all of these battles were chosen for
this same reason. But why would an author choose battles with more casualties over battles that are better known for a massive victory, or even a
massive loss? This

My First Semester At Governors State University
My Personal Growth Plan This is my last semester at Governors State University. There were only two classes that were part of my study plan that
I needed for this semester, and I created a schedule with four weekend classes so that I could be full time. Instead of taking classes that would just
look good on my resume, I decided to take classes that would help to benefit me the most and ensure my future success as a holistic human being.
Other students had spoken about the Lab in Personal Growth briefly, and every person shared the same sentiment. They each stated that this was
an emotional and eye opening experience that involved a great deal of emotional insight. Outside of that, I was unaware of what I was in for, but I
was excited for whatever challenge was ahead. Coming into the class I was interested in learning more about how the class was going to be
structured. Even while reading the book and doing the assignments I did not think much of what we were going to do. Once the schedule was passed
out I was excited, but a little nervous. Meditation was a bigger part of my life during my teenage years, and yoga was something that was enjoyable,
but not something I actively participated in because I have never heard of a yoga studio that worked with individuals with different abilities.
Mindfulness was a word that I had heard, but only associated it with a previous Professor that I took during my associates. Unfortunately, there were

Analysis Of The Movie Mommie Dearest
Psychological disorders are very real and present in many people we come in contact with daily, however, are very rarely talked about. Learning
about these disorders can help us to understand others and ourselves better by telling us why we do and think the things we do. One effective way that
we can observe and learn about psychological disorders is through movies. "Mommie Dearest" was directed by Frank Perry. It is centered around the
actress Joan Crawford, who suffered from various psychological disorders. Joan's daughter, Christina, wrote a book about her mother and her many
problems and it was later turned into a movie. It is very effective to use movie analysis as a way of learning, especially in psychology, because it
provides a great way to observe without distractions. When you're looking at disorders, it's difficult to find a person who has many of these disorders
and will allow you to observe them. Psychological disorders can be split into two major groups, personality disorders and mood disorders. Personality
disorders are patterns of traits that can get in the way of your social or work life and may interrupt the individual's normal lifestyle. Mood disorders
are inconsistent and unreliable changes in mood by the affected individual. (Rathus, 1998). With all of this being said, it brings me to my point that I
will be talking about for the rest of this essay. Joan Crawford demonstrates the personality disorders of histrionic, narcissism, and OCPD. When it
comes to mood disorders, Joan demonstrates bipolar disorder. First, I will be talking about histrionic. People who are histrionic are often very
emotional and seek constant attention. (Psychology Today, 2017). The cause of this is unknown but some saw it may have something to do with
childhood events and/or genetics. Symptoms of this are seeking reassurance constantly, being self–centered, being very concerned with physical
appearance, and having your opinions be easily influenced by other people. There are many times in the movie where Joan Crawford showed signs of
histrionic. The first example I will be sharing is at Christina's birthday party. (Mommie Dearest, 1981). It appeared to me that Joan adopted children just
for the attention of it.

Spanish Prepositions: Preposiciones
Chapter 14: Prepositions (Preposiciones) Prepositions are words that establish relationships between words in a sentence or phrase. Except for the
prepositions "a" and "de" that are contracted when used with the article "el", prepositions are invariable. Spanish sentences never end in a
preposition. It is placed before an object which can be a noun, a verb used as a noun, or a pronoun. Spanish prepositions are used in the same way
that English prepositions are used but it can be tricky to translate prepositions literally as each preposition can mean differently on either language
depending on the context of the sentence. Here is a list of the most common Spanish prepositions: a to, at, for, by The preposition "a" is used to

Chapter 16: Moods of Verbs A verb's mood is a property, which expresses how a condition or action is intended or conceived. There are three moods
in Spanish: the indicative mood, subjunctive mood and the imperative mood. Indicative MoodThe indicative mood is the regular verb form used in
everday statements and questions. Tengo dos perros y un gato.I have two dogs and one cat. Subjunctive Mood A verb in the subjunctive mood
expresses a condition, which is contrary to fact, doubtful or wished for. In many cases, a subjunctive verb is part of a clause that begins with "que", a
relative pronoun which means "that", "which", or "who". To justify the use of the subjunctive mood, the sentence should express uncertainty, opinion,
or doubt. There are several signal phrases that will prompt you to use the subjunctive mood: It is not likely that ___Es difГcil que ___It is good that
___Es bueno que ___It is not certain that___No es cierto que ___ It is bad that __Es malo que ___ It's better that __MГЎs vale que ___ Espero que

How Does Emotions Impact Our Motivation?
The question that arises when someone ask," How does our emotions impact our motivation?" A human being emotions impact everything we do,
whether it 's making our bed or just affecting our health. Motivation is a state or condition of being motivated or having a strong reason to act or
accomplish something. When people have motivation it can be positive or negative. Before we can experience motivation our emotions plays an
enormous role in the things we do. The word Emotions refers to the conscious in which the mind can produce feelings. For example joy, sadness, hate,
fear and etc. is emotions that human beings encounter on a daily basis. When I did research on Emotion our emotions can be shown in our facial
expressions or. Hand gestures too." Also, emotions is distinguished from "mood" based on the period of the time......hand gestures".

they rely on each too much can cause negative impact on society such murder, rape, suicide and many more. Our emotions can lead our body into
doing stressful things. Sometimes people get stress out from work and from the issues they encounter in personal life. When a person becomes stress

This ideology of him helped him support his point of the major affects of food on our physical and mental health. He believed that foods such as
sugar, gluten, and processed foods, could bring a persons mood down; however foods like dark chocolate, protein, bananas, coffee, turmeric, berries,
and animal based omega–3 fats were types of foods that could help enhance a persons mood. He anticipated this connection was apparent not only
after food is consumed but also "over time, as [the person's] diet helps to shape [their] mental health from inside out" (Mercola, 2014). This article
made some good quality points on the relationship between food and mood, but it did not really take a deep scientific outlook on it (Mercola, 2014).
The article Your Brain on Food, by McQuillan, outlines some other aspects of the relationship between foods and moods. McQuillan takes a more
scientific approach by suggesting that the brain, and the body are connected when it comes to food. They are constantly signaling each other about how
hungry or full this person is, he also says how different tastes cause different signals to be sent from one to the other. This different signals sent by
different tastes are the causation behind different moods, emotions, and feelings. McQuillan also pointed out that "chemicals called neurotransmitters

Suicide Prevention For The Kern County Mental Health Hotline
My family and friends don't quite understand my motivations to become a mental health counselor. Personally, I can think of nothing more rewarding
than helping people through dark times and giving hope for a brighter future. Deep down, I'm an idealist with enough life experience to pepper my
expectations. There are countless possible research topics within the mental health field, but I've recently developed a deep appreciation of suicide
prevention since volunteering for the Kern County Mental Health Hotline. I've also become acutely aware of the relationship between suicide and mood
disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder. According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 15– 34 years
old, and the 10th leading cause of death overall. An estimated 90% of those who have died by suicide suffered from mental illness. That makes
mental illness the top risk factor (NAMI, 2016). I was able to find these statistics quite readily, but I couldn't find anything relating specifically to
mood disorders. Since I am not sure of what type of research already exists on the subject matter, a literature review would be the perfect place to
start. Not only would a review help verify that this is direction of research has potential, it would help to develop my understanding of the topic. If I

The Effects of Different Coloured Lighting and Ambience on...
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the combined effects of coloured lighting and ambient sound on mood. 48 psychology undergraduates,
comprising of 38 females and ten males, took part in this study. This study is a 2x2 between subjects design. The coloured lightings used in this study
are blue and yellow combined with the ambient sound of 'city' and 'nature' whereas mood was measured with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule
(PANAS). We discovered that coloured lighting had no significant effect on mood as opposed to our hypothesis. The results from this study showed
that only the ambient sound affected participants mood.

The researchers selected the schools based on their proximity to airports and traffic routes in Spain. They measured the levels of noise the participants
faced during their presence in school and conducted tests to determine its effects on health, perception of noise and annoyance using questionnaires.
They discovered that aircraft and road traffic noise caused the participants to participants increased levels of annoyance. This research is related to our
research as participants in our research will also be exposed to road traffic sounds in the 'city' setting.
Mentioned in Daniel Vastfjall's research, Peterson & Aniansson (1998), as cited in Vastfjall, 2002 discovered that in relation to mood, the "dimensions
of pleasantness and activation decreased significantly" after participants were exposed to 2 hours of traffic noise. We hope to achieve similar results in
our experiment by exposing the participants to just approximately ten minutes of city sound that contains elements of traffic noises.
In this research, we aim to discover the combined effects of ambient sound and coloured lighting on mood. We were unable to find precise past
research pertaining to our area of research but we managed to obtain closely similar studies involved in each separate variable. We hope that this

Negative Effects Of Mass Media
The Mass media is one of the most unique feature of modern society and it has brought with it a variety of changes like increase in social interactions,
social change and a change in the standard of life. Media plays an outstanding role in strengthening society because of its purpose in informing,
educating and entertaining people. Because of the media's inherent ability to reach large groups of people, it used to convey different messages.The
media industries is divided into 9 major industries: the book, newspaper, magazine, film, recording, radio, broadcast television, cable television and
computer. These industries have evolved through five different stages over time to appeal to different audiences in different places.There is an
association between the development of mass media and social change although there is still debate on if this change is detrimental or beneficial to
society as a whole. There has been further argument that the mass media can be used as an instrument because it can be used in influencing people
into certain modes of belief. This debate is further emphasized by the difference between active and passive audiences. Salomon and Cohen (1978)
argued that unless viewers pay attention to messages, those messages can have no effect on them and therefore should not be considered as exposure.

Holy Sonnet 14 Analysis
Holy Sonnet 14 presents the struggle between following one's faith and the alluring baseness of the human experience. This work fixates on the ties the
speaker has to Satan, and the inability to break those ties without God's intervention. A vein of nearly mad desperation courses through the poem from
submissive start to subjugated end, culminating in a pained, almost violent plea for God to ravish him. One can see how the speaker's desolation
builds; he longs for God to break him down and repair him, raise him up and "make [him] new" in the first quatrain, but by the final couplet he
embraces imprisonment, razing and ravishing. He believes himself unworthy of deliverance in such a far fallen state, requiring trial and punishment
before he can again live in the lord's light. An initial hopefulness tempers the anguish of the opening quatrain, and the speaker obviously feels as if
God can still mend his corrupted heart. His restoration to a more holy image requires submission to the agony of liberation from sin. An erratic syntax
– littered with trochees, spondees, and anapests – indicates a mercurial, near frenzied quality to his plea. Donne does not employ a single straight
iambic line in the entire poem; "BAT–ter", a trochee, punctuates the opening line, blunt and rough. This imperative mood of the first verb establishes the
urgency of the first quatrain, and the subtle continuance of imperative verbs displays the prevailing tone of pleading, anxious desire for salvation.

Carl Sandburg's Grass
How would you feel if you knew you were standing on soil where thousands of bloody bodies were buried underneath? How would you feel
thinking about the fact that humans left their carcasses to decompose on the earth, leaving grass and Mother Nature to cover up the mess? This issue
is discussed from the grass's point of view in a poem written at the end of the atrocious Civil War and WWI, where many people were killed.
Through the use of imperative tense verbs and the tension between first and third person pronouns, Carl Sandburg displays Grass's obligatory feeling
to cover up the mess created by inferior humans in his poem Grass. The first technique Sandburg employs to show this idea is through the use of verbs
in the imperative tense. In general,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Throughout the poem, the speaker uses first person pronouns such as "I" and "me," and third person pronouns such as "them." Since one pronoun is
not used throughout the entire poem, some tension is created between both pronouns/groups of people. The first person pronouns refer to the Grass,
whereas the third person pronouns refer to humans and the bodies of soldiers. This difference in pronouns amplifies the fact that the Grass and
humans are dissimilar entities and that there is also a difference in superiority between the two. The use of first person pronouns from the point of
view of the Grass makes it seem as if the Grass is the one in control, which is what it wants the reader to think. The tension with the third person
pronouns makes the humans come across as inferior. If the first person pronouns came from the humans and the third person pronouns came from the
Grass, then this feeling would be switched. With the way Sandburg wrote the poem, the Grass takes charge and wants the humans to leave before they
make an even bigger mess so it can get cleaned up. The Grass is confident that it can clean up the mess better than the humans will. Ultimately,
although grass is not human, it still has the power to clean up all of the messes made by humanity. In the poem Grass, Carl Sandburg portrays the Grass
as more superior than humans

The Relationship Between Perfectionism And Maladaptive...
Introduction
The relationship between Perfectionism, Procrastination and Academic Performance
As said by (Brown, Elissa J; Heimberg, Richard G; Frost, Randy O; Makris, Gregory S et al, 1999), 'Perfectionism has been defined as a dispositional
tendency to set excessively high performance standards and to then evaluate one's performance in an overly critical manner.'. This investigation looks at
two types of perfectionism– Adaptive, and Maladaptive Perfectionism. Adaptive perfectionism is the inclination to set higher standards, participate in
study more often, achieve better grades, and emphasize more focus on academic importance in their life. Maladaptive Perfectionism is also a predictor
for studying more often, however research has found evidence that it has been linked with higher anxiety, perceived difficulty and no increase in
grades (Brown et al., 1999). These two types of perfectionism are measured using 3 of the 6 subscales of Frost et al., (1990)'s Multidimensional
Perfectionism Scale(MPS). A study looked at perfectionism, behaviour, cognition and affect in a women's private liberal arts college gave
participants a small range of questionnaires over 6 times in the semester and looked at final grades to see if there was a significant correlation
between any of the variables. They found an association between CM perfectionism and anxiety about performance and being overly critical of
mistakes. CM was not associated with better grades, and the research concluded it

The Use of the Subjunctive in Spanish
The use of the subjunctive in Spanish: A brief review Clauses are groups of words which express an idea and contain a predicate (i.e., a conjugated
verb) and a subject, although of course in Spanish the subject is often merely indicated by the verb ending. They can be divided into two categories:
independent clauses (which make sense in and of themselves) and dependent clauses (which need to be used with an independent clause to form a
complete sentece). In general, the the indicative, the conditional, and the imperative (command forms) are used in independent clauses; some
exceptions will be given in section I below. The subjunctive mood is found primarily in dependent clauses, but of course the other moods can occur
there as well,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The verb in an adverbial clauses will be in the subjunctive if the action/state in the clause is anticipated –that is, viewed as being in the future in
comparison to the action/state represented by the governing verb. The indicative is used in clauses where the action is viewed as habitual or having
been completed. Adverbial clauses are introduced by adverbial conjunctions, some of which by their very nature always indicate something
anticipatory and hence always take the subjunctive: antes de que (before), para que (so that), a fin de que (so that), sin que (without), a menos que
(unless), and con tal de que (provided that). Some of the more frequent adverbial conjunctions which may take either the indicative or the subjunctive:
cuando (when), hasta que (until), despuГ©s de que (after), tan pronto como (as soon as), mientras (while). Cada domingo despuГ©s que desayunamos,
la familia asiste a servicios religiosos.Every Sunday after we eat breakfast, the family attends religious services.[Indic.: habitual action] Cuando
termines la tarea iremos al cine.When you finish the homework, we 'll go the movies.[Subj.: anticipated action] Adjectival clauses describe or modify
nouns or pronouns. If the noun or pronoun modified is negated, nonexistent or indefinite, then the verb in the modifying clause will be in the

The Importance Of A Good Fitness On A Positive Mood
Finding a way to keep employees in a positive mood is important for various reasons. For example, "people who are experiencing positive moods or
emotions are more flexible and open in their thinking" (Robbins, 2009, p. 268). In the military, being flexible and open to thinking is critical.
Especially since the military is an ever–changing culture that is well known to be a "significant source of distress for military personnel during routine
peacetime assignments" (Pflanz, 2002). aGood use of a reference–but check the need for a page or paragraph (if an online source) number in direct

Another reason to find ways to produce positive moods in the workplace is that produces motivation. According to Steven P. Robbins and Timothy A.
Judge, in their book Organizational Behavior, putting people in a good mood and providing them positive feedback can result in a cycle that leads to
motivation (2009, p.268). Motivation in the military can mean the difference between a good fitness report and a bad one. As a matter of fact,
motivation is a key ingredient leadership boards look for when promoting personnel to the next rank.
Lastly, "when leaders feel excited, enthusiastic, and active, they may be more likely to energize their subordinates and convey a sense of efficacy,
competence, optimism, and enjoyment" (Robbins, 2009, p.268). This is why it is important to find ways to create a working environment that

2. Rothbard and Wilk's (2010) Study Although there are very few studies which examine the effect of mood on job performance, Rothbard and Wilk's
(2010) research is of great value.[2] They studied the moods and performance of 29 customer service representatives in a large insurance company
over a three–week period. They wanted to find out how the mood that customer service representatives bring to the workplace at the start of the day
influence task engagement and performance throughout the day and how the changes in moods during the interactions with the customers affect the
rest of the workday. In this study, both positive and negative mood from non–work sources have been shown to influence work mood and behaviors.
They brought forth three sets of hypotheses: Hypothesis 1a: Higher start–of–day positive mood will be associated with higher positive work mood later
in the day, controlling for trait affect. Hypothesis 1b: Higher start–of–day negative mood will be associated with higher negative work mood later in the
day, controlling for trait affect. Hypothesis 2a: Higher perceived customer positive mood will be associated with higher positive employee work mood
during the day, controlling for trait affect. Hypothesis 2b: Higher perceived customer negative mood will be associated with higher negative employee

How Bipolar Is Caused By A Person
This paper is explaining how bipolar is caused, how to know if individuals have bipolar, how the disorder in a person can affect others around them,
along with examples and facts about the mood disorder.
Bipolar can be caused by negative thinking and by a person thinking negative things about themselves. There is a person who I know that can hardly
think positive; this person is filled with hate and hope others fail because, the person is miserable. Dopamine, serotonin, and also norepinephrine are
brain chemicals that can affect a person's mood. The person I know does not want to get checked out but I feel there may be a few brain chemicals

Some of the signs and symptoms of the disorder are constant mood changes, restlessness, paranoia, aggressiveness, having unlimited energy,
irritability, remaining inactive, seeming a little awkward or weird to others, rapid speech, and being delusional. I feel people with bipolar impact their
friends and family in a negative way. For example, there is a girl named Molly. Molly gets mad at Holly for no big reason. Holly gets upset because
Molly is mad. Later on, Molly then becomes really depressed that Holly is upset. Holly feels bad because she sees Molly crying. Dealing with people
who constantly change emotions can be tiring and confusing. The most difficult part is dealing with random moods at random times. There is one
person I know who blame anything on everyone but this person feels like they do no wrong and that they are perfect. This person takes time out
their day to think of a whole scenario to make a problem seem like it was caused by the other person. This person is always suspicious of other
people and cannot trust them at all; the person feels like everyone is up to something or doing something bad behind this person's back. There is
another person I know who gets really depressed, they feel like life is not worth living, this person gets depressed too easily. All this person need is
someone positive to talk with. Once the person feels better, everything is fine. The repeating

Negative Peace?
Can something as positive as peace, sadly, turn negative? Throughout the book Peace like a River by Leif Enger, a negative mood, surprisingly, is
established. When the story itself does maintain a positive influence, it's almost as if the negativity takes a higher dominance. In this novel, narrated by
the middle child, Reuben, who has severe asthma, the reader is introduced to the very unique Land family. Jeremiah, the father and main provider of
this family has three children, two boys and a girl; Reuben and Davy are both older than their sister Swede. However, Helen, the wife of Jeremiah and

The Land family enters turmoil when Jeremiah is fired from his job and struggles from pneumonia. After some time, Christmas comes around and
Reuben spends the money he worked very hard for on groceries for the family. Mr. Decuellar, Davy's lawyer later brings the family an Airstream
trailer from an old friend, Tin Lurvy. Previously, it was revealed that Jeremiah had received a letter from August about Davy's arrival. Jeremiah
later recovers from his sickness, packs up the trailer, and sets off with the family in the trailer; leaving the now dreary town of Roofing behind.
Finally, the family arrives in North Dakota and receives news on Davy's wellbeing, but also finds out that he is still on the run. All in all, in the
book Peace like a River, a negative mood is established whether it be directly from the first chapter, when trouble enters the Land household, or
through times of economic suffering. First, negativity enters early within the first few pages during the dramatic birth of Reuben Land. When
Reuben was born, his dad, Jeremiah wasn't even in the room. He only arrived later when God was told to have made him run to the delivery room.
Sadly, Reuben's lungs were, at first, defective and it was starting to look as if he wasn't going to make it. The doctor, Dr. Nokes had delivered the
baby and had practically given up on poor Reuben's life. "It was unavoidable, he was saying; nothing could be done; perhaps it was for the best," (2).

What Are Bipolar Disorder?
The apparent increase in the number of children in today's society that are diagnosed with mental illness, especially that of bipolar disorder, does not
seem to come as much of a surprise to anyone. Yet, why is this? Is the recent over–diagnosis due in part to fault within the definition of what pediatric
bipolar disorder actually is? Many believe this to be the case; while others support the notion that bipolar disorder is not over diagnosed and the
recent prevalence of the disorder is the result of increased awareness on the part of health professionals along with an increase in the number of
children who are more readily succumbing to such a disorder. To admit to an overdiagnosis should not be seen as a denial of the disease itself, but
rather, the different clinical presentations of the disorder should be seen as an inconsistency among practitioners. This discrepancy results in the
acknowledgment of more cases than actually exists; an admission of this over–diagnosis would be seen merely as a flaw within the ability of
practitioners to reach a consensus. Such a flaw manifests itself in the over diagnosis of the disorder, which is something that, for the sake of the client
as well as the field as a whole, should not be overlooked.
It is common for people to fear that of which they do not know; unfortunately, problems arise when this universal lack of knowledge manifests itself in
the uncertainty surrounding children who need appropriate direction. Bipolar disorder can

Temperament Characteristics Of Child Development
Temperament is defined as the individual behavioral style of the child, the way in which he characteristically reacts to environmental stimuli.
Temperament is distinct from the child's innate abilities and motivation. Their are nine temperament traits; activity being the first which is based
on the level of motor component in a child's functioning, rated as regular,variable, or irregular. I would rate myself as moderate. I prefer to be
independent; I rather do a task myself so that I don't have to watch someone else do it. I also don't like to be confined I prefer to explore the areas
and things that surround me. Rhythmicity being the second temperament trait is all about the regularity or predictability in the timing of recurrent
activities, rated as regular,variable, or irregular. Regular best describes me because I stick to a routine everyday and if it is changed I have a very hard
time dealing with it. I eat the same thing everyday and at the same time everyday. I wake up every morning at the same time, but I fall asleep at
different times depending on what I did that day. And lastly I have a difficult time adjusting to different time zones whenever I go away on vacation.
The Approach/Withdrawal is the third temperament it is about the nature of a child's response to a new stimulus, rated as approach, variable, or
withdrawal. Withdrawing child best fits me; it takes me awhile to warm up to new things, I'm cautious with new people, things and places. I prefer to

English Verb Forms Of English Grammar
According to ELT and Greebaum's The Oxford English Grammar (1996) English verb forms can be systematized under two huge categories, each of
them includes sub–categories of forms.
1.Inflected forms:
1.1. Base Form of verbs: In English grammar a regular English verb has only on principal part, from which all following verb forms can be derived.
This form is available in dictionary and is called base form. For example, base form is paint, the inflected forms are: paint, paints, painted, painting.
Hence we can notice, that the base may be called the bare infinitive and the another common way to referring to verbs is combination with –to +
infinitive, for example, to paint (Greenbaum, S., 1996, Pp.118–121)
1.2. Irregular verbs have three principal parts (because the simple past and past participle are unpredictable). For instance, the verb write with the base
form write, past form – wrote, and past participle – written, the remaining forms (writes and writing) are derived regularly (Greenbaum, S., 1996,
Pp.126–128)
1.3. Also there are such verbs as do, say and have that additionally have irregular third person singular present tense forms.
1.4. That is, the copular verb be is irregular (forms: be, am, is, are, was, were, been and being),
1.5. On the opposition modal verbs (can and must) are defective verbs and are being used only in limited number of forms (Greenbaum, S., 1996,
Pp.125–129).

The Black Lace Fan My Mother Gave Me
Practice Commentary: The Black Lace Fan My Mother Gave Me Eavan Bolland's "The Black Lace Fan my Mother Gave me" from her book, "Outside
History" (1990) gives readers the first impression that the poem is about the value of a fan that has been passed down to her. However, based on the
title, the term "black lace" raises a sense of mystery and darkness as black lace is not completely see–through, there are spots that need to be filled in.
To illustrate the value of the black lace fan, the speaker, who is unknown, narrates on how the mother received it and also used very vivid descriptions
on its significance. To add to the sense of mystery suggested by the title, the use of "him" and "her" instead of actual names enhances this quality of...

The shortness of the sentence, "She stood up" acts as a sudden pause in the story, as though this abrupt action has frozen time. In the next few lines,
Bolland uses a miserable tone to reflect on the mother's mood. To emphasize this sense of misery, she uses the three rhyming words, "emptying",
"killing" and "lighting", which have the connotations of bitterness and depression. Bolland also uses pathetic fallacy to reflect on the emotions of
the mother, stating that the distance "smelled" of rain and lightning. The "distance" that is mentioned here may symbolize how distant she and her
lover is now. At this point, the readers would feel a sense of pathos towards this character. Hence, the third stanza is a transitioning phase between
her presence of the current situation and her stream of consciousness. As mentioned before, the mother loses touch with the real world and is
engaged in the beauty and delicacy of the black lace fan. Bolland's use of visual imagery is impressive, as the readers get to have a clear picture of
the texture and details of the fan. The lines that read "These are wild roses, appliqued on silk by hand, Darkly picked, stitched boldly, quickly." make
the description of the fan sound much more interesting as Bolland has used

Bipolar Disorder (BP)
Bipolar disorder (BP) is a mood disorder that is considered to affect the emotional regulation of individuals who have it (Blaney, Krueger, & Millon,
2015, p.234). Bipolar disorder is also believed to compromise the executive functioning, attention, planning, and regulation for the individuals who have
it (Blaney, Krueger, and Millon, 2015, pp.234–235). As a consequence, BP may cause serious adverse consequences to the individuals who have it.
According to Singh and Muhammad (2006), bipolar disorder is often unrecognized or misdiagnosed when patients are initially seen when seeking
treatment for mood symptoms. Furthermore, unrecognized or misdiagnosis of BP may lead to ineffective treatment and increased risk of mood

Cerimele, Chwastiak, Chan, Harrison, & UnГјtzer (2013), state "Historical examination and other factors can be helpful in differentiating bipolar
disorder from other mood disorders" (p.1649). According to Cerimele et al. (2013), a personal history of hypersomnia episodes, psychotic features,
mood lability, and subsyndromal mania, among other factors occurred more often in patients with BP (p. 1649). In addition, Acikel, Son, & Tutuncu
(2015), have another reason for conducting a historical examination. Acikel, Son, & Tutuncu (2015), suggest that BP is up to 70% heritable (p.13).
This heritability infers that if one family member has BP, the possibility of another family member having it increases. Therefore, a thorough personal
examination, in conjunction with a familial history assessment, may increase the probability of receiving an earlier diagnosis of BP, and conceivably
increase the likelihood of earlier interventions, management, and treatment plans for

Use Of Disruption Of Performance On Roles Involving...
Focus has been thought to be attained automatically from stimuli with negative valence, allowing quick recognition of possible threats (Itkes &
Mashal, 2015). The concept of disruption of performance on roles involving negative words has been heavily researched (Itkes & Mashal, 2015),
whereas minimal research has been conducted on the timing of semantic processing where negative valence applies its influence on performance.
To view the influence of negative valence on performance, the emotional Stroop task has been utilised (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). The Stroop task
involves participants naming colours of words whilst disregarding their background. The words used generally bear negative or neutral valence, and
results propose that reaction times are slower to negative words in comparison to neutral words. (Itkes & Mashal, 2015) suggest that achievements on
this role show a basic deceleration resulting from dangerous stimuli.
In reference to the Automatic Vigilance Hypothesis, surrounding stimuli are involuntarily viewed as negative or positive (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). This
rapid reaction occurs due to the allowance for avoidance or approach behaviour. Negative data is prioritised when studies drew attention to factors of
behaviour and brain activity. This allows for the cognition system to be prepared for any possible harm, that could disrupt present processing of
information (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). Therefore, valence is agreed to be processed early. The question still

Does Drm Effect Affect Memory?
DRM paradigm has been used to produce false memories in controlled conditions. For our project we used positive and neutral mood inductions to
examine an effect on false memories using the DRM lists. Storbeck and Clore (2005) found that negative mood leads to fewer false memories and that
there is not effect of positive mood on memory. The current experiment is rested on two hypotheses: one that mood does not affect memory; therefore,
accuracy will not differ between the two conditions. Second hypothesis is that percentage of lures will be greater in positive condition. The results
obtained are consistent with our hypotheses: that positive mood does not affect memory, probably due to counterbalance effect. The percentages of
lures are higher in positive condition, regardless of which mood state was induced first.
Over the years a numerous studies show that is possible to create false memories, however, the mechanism fundamental to this process is still not fully
understood. While researching the topic Valten(1968) concluded that the accuracy of recall is linked to subjects present mood state and created a
method that induces different mood states. This becomes standard for research on how psychological functioning could be altered by emotional states.

The Negative Effects Of The Media On The Women's Body Image
The increasing and widespread use of media, as well as it tremendous ability to influence its audience, has raised various concerns over the effects
the media has on its viewers. One of the fields of increasing concerns is the idea that the media portrays unrealistic body images and that these
portrayals have negative consequences on their viewers, especially so for women. Women have always been associated with ideals of beauty and a
particular body image. The question arises as to how far the media further perpetuate these models and body images, and what are the consequences
of these effects? When the media works to perpetuate such ideals of beauty and body image, the majority of the female population, who do not
conform to such ideals and body type, fall prey to psychological issues resulting from body dissatisfaction such as depression, self–hate, negative
moods, and emotions, particularly for the younger women. Such negative emotions, when evoked, can lead to negative consequences and actions for
the affected female population, which include drastic, harmful steps such as crash diets, self–harm, or cosmetic surgery.
Effects of Media on the Women's Body Image
Many studies have been based on the concerning effects of media portrayals of beauty and body images on women. Yamammiya et al. (2005) write

A View From The Bridge Analysis
In the play ' A View From The Bridge" The protagonist Eddie, an Italian immigrant, seems to have complex relationship with who seems to be his wife's
orphaned niece Catherine throughout the whole play.
At the beginning of Act 1, Catherine and Eddie appeared to have an authoritative father and a compliant daughter like relationship. "Come over here."
This command clearly highlights how demanding and authoritative Eddie is with Catherine. The imperative verb "Come" illustrates how Eddie sees
himself as the man of the house, therefore he should be in control over everything, and everything living under his roof should obey and respect him.
The adverb "here" demonstrates that Eddie expects Catherine to do as she's told, clearly indicating his control and how authoritative he is over
Catherine. " What do you want me to do ?" This question signifies how Catherine will change anything just to keep Eddie satisfied even if she
disagrees with it. The second personal pronoun "you" reflects how important Eddies opinion is to Catherine. How she will yield to every demand
coming out of his mouth– as back in the 1950s the man was the on who controls the household and makes all the decisions, which is one of the reasons
why Catherine is so complaint towards him in their relationship.
Arthur Miller also represented the relationship as an overprotective, jealous relationship at the start. " I'm responsible for you." This proclamation
clearly displays Eddie's protectiveness over Catherine.

A.Who first discovered the genetic disorder or autoimmune disease? Kraepelin recognized biological causes of mental illnesses. He is believed to be
the first person to seriously study mental illnesses. Kraepelin 's Manic Depressive Insanity and Paranoia in 1921 detailed the difference between
manic–depressive and praecox, which is now known as schizophrenia.
B. Is the disease state recessive or dominant? One study has also found a higher frequency in families where the disorder is inherited from mothers. A
particular case inquiry may be considered, assuming that bipolar affective disorder can be inherited as a sex–linked recessive trait or as an autosomal
recessive trait.
C. Differentiate between recessive or dominant? The difference between the two is that it depends on the parents in which one or the both have the
gene that is dominant but in which chase if it is recessive it would not get passed down.
D. Is it a chromosomal abnormality? Although there is compelling evidence from twin, family, and adoption studies to support strong genetic
determinants for bipolar affective disorder, the underlying molecular–genetic basis for this condition remains poorly understood. The identification of

Present Tense In MSA
Present Tense
The present tense in MSA is usually indicated by the imperfective form. The imperfective form in MSA is an ambiguous form. It can express all types
of present tense in MSA, namely, it can be used to give a right now reading, habitual present and present progressive. When researchers discuss the
present tense, they usually distinguish between two main groups of verbs that are state verbs and dynamic or event verbs. State verbs usually give the
right now reading. For example:

In contrast, dynamic verbs in the imperfective form in MSA usually have two possible interpretations and the context or adverbs determine one of
them. For example, verbs in the imperfective form such as yamshi `walk' or yakulu `eat' can have the two interpretations. Therefore, both verbs can be
used with adverb like kull–a yawm–in `every day' which denotes a habitual interpretation or adverb like alaan `now' which denotes a progressive, Also,

Carl Sanburg Grass Analysis

  • 1. Carl Sanburg Grass Analysis "Most times, it's just a lot easier not to let the world know what's wrong." says Chuck Palahniuk, and American Author. Covering things up is one thing that humanity has officially mastered. Humanity constantly fights, kills, and commits horrid acts; sometimes even for no good reason at all. But who is the one that will always be there to cover it up? Well, in Carl Sanburg's poem "Grass", that 'who' is the grass itself. It becomes clear that no human can cover up his or her own mistakes, so the grass has to be the one to do the dirty work. Carl Sanburg, in his poem "Grass", uses proper nouns, syntax, and imperative tense to prove that humanity will repeatedly try to destroy itself, and the grass will always hold the power to cover it up. Bunker Hill, Yorktown, and Normandy are all great battles in American history, and they are also distinguished choices for proper nouns when trying to prove the point of human destruction. However, Sanburg didn't use these proper nouns. He wrote about "Austerlitz", "Waterloo", "Gettysburg", "Ypres", and "Verdun". (1, 3, 4, 5) While Gettysburg was a pivotal point in American history, it was not chosen in this text for the size of the battle, but rather for the number of casualties and for the amount of blood spilled on the battlefield. In fact, all of these battles were chosen for this same reason. But why would an author choose battles with more casualties over battles that are better known for a massive victory, or even a massive loss? This ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. My First Semester At Governors State University My Personal Growth Plan This is my last semester at Governors State University. There were only two classes that were part of my study plan that I needed for this semester, and I created a schedule with four weekend classes so that I could be full time. Instead of taking classes that would just look good on my resume, I decided to take classes that would help to benefit me the most and ensure my future success as a holistic human being. Other students had spoken about the Lab in Personal Growth briefly, and every person shared the same sentiment. They each stated that this was an emotional and eye opening experience that involved a great deal of emotional insight. Outside of that, I was unaware of what I was in for, but I was excited for whatever challenge was ahead. Coming into the class I was interested in learning more about how the class was going to be structured. Even while reading the book and doing the assignments I did not think much of what we were going to do. Once the schedule was passed out I was excited, but a little nervous. Meditation was a bigger part of my life during my teenage years, and yoga was something that was enjoyable, but not something I actively participated in because I have never heard of a yoga studio that worked with individuals with different abilities. Mindfulness was a word that I had heard, but only associated it with a previous Professor that I took during my associates. Unfortunately, there were many negative experiences that turned ...

  • 3. Analysis Of The Movie Mommie Dearest Psychological disorders are very real and present in many people we come in contact with daily, however, are very rarely talked about. Learning about these disorders can help us to understand others and ourselves better by telling us why we do and think the things we do. One effective way that we can observe and learn about psychological disorders is through movies. "Mommie Dearest" was directed by Frank Perry. It is centered around the actress Joan Crawford, who suffered from various psychological disorders. Joan's daughter, Christina, wrote a book about her mother and her many problems and it was later turned into a movie. It is very effective to use movie analysis as a way of learning, especially in psychology, because it provides a great way to observe without distractions. When you're looking at disorders, it's difficult to find a person who has many of these disorders and will allow you to observe them. Psychological disorders can be split into two major groups, personality disorders and mood disorders. Personality disorders are patterns of traits that can get in the way of your social or work life and may interrupt the individual's normal lifestyle. Mood disorders are inconsistent and unreliable changes in mood by the affected individual. (Rathus, 1998). With all of this being said, it brings me to my point that I will be talking about for the rest of this essay. Joan Crawford demonstrates the personality disorders of histrionic, narcissism, and OCPD. When it comes to mood disorders, Joan demonstrates bipolar disorder. First, I will be talking about histrionic. People who are histrionic are often very emotional and seek constant attention. (Psychology Today, 2017). The cause of this is unknown but some saw it may have something to do with childhood events and/or genetics. Symptoms of this are seeking reassurance constantly, being self–centered, being very concerned with physical appearance, and having your opinions be easily influenced by other people. There are many times in the movie where Joan Crawford showed signs of histrionic. The first example I will be sharing is at Christina's birthday party. (Mommie Dearest, 1981). It appeared to me that Joan adopted children just for the attention of it. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Spanish Prepositions: Preposiciones Chapter 14: Prepositions (Preposiciones) Prepositions are words that establish relationships between words in a sentence or phrase. Except for the prepositions "a" and "de" that are contracted when used with the article "el", prepositions are invariable. Spanish sentences never end in a preposition. It is placed before an object which can be a noun, a verb used as a noun, or a pronoun. Spanish prepositions are used in the same way that English prepositions are used but it can be tricky to translate prepositions literally as each preposition can mean differently on either language depending on the context of the sentence. Here is a list of the most common Spanish prepositions: a to, at, for, by The preposition "a" is used to express time and motion,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Chapter 16: Moods of Verbs A verb's mood is a property, which expresses how a condition or action is intended or conceived. There are three moods in Spanish: the indicative mood, subjunctive mood and the imperative mood. Indicative MoodThe indicative mood is the regular verb form used in everday statements and questions. Tengo dos perros y un gato.I have two dogs and one cat. Subjunctive Mood A verb in the subjunctive mood expresses a condition, which is contrary to fact, doubtful or wished for. In many cases, a subjunctive verb is part of a clause that begins with "que", a relative pronoun which means "that", "which", or "who". To justify the use of the subjunctive mood, the sentence should express uncertainty, opinion, or doubt. There are several signal phrases that will prompt you to use the subjunctive mood: It is not likely that ___Es difГcil que ___It is good that ___Es bueno que ___It is not certain that___No es cierto que ___ It is bad that __Es malo que ___ It's better that __MГЎs vale que ___ Espero que los niГ±os estudien.

The articled used in this literature review are: Can the Food You Eat Affect Your Mood?

This ideology of him helped him support his point of the major affects of food on our physical and mental health. He believed that foods such as sugar, gluten, and processed foods, could bring a persons mood down; however foods like dark chocolate, protein, bananas, coffee, turmeric, berries, and animal based omega–3 fats were types of foods that could help enhance a persons mood. He anticipated this connection was apparent not only after food is consumed but also "over time, as [the person's] diet helps to shape [their] mental health from inside out" (Mercola, 2014). This article made some good quality points on the relationship between food and mood, but it did not really take a deep scientific outlook on it (Mercola, 2014). The article Your Brain on Food, by McQuillan, outlines some other aspects of the relationship between foods and moods. McQuillan takes a more scientific approach by suggesting that the brain, and the body are connected when it comes to food. They are constantly signaling each other about how hungry or full this person is, he also says how different tastes cause different signals to be sent from one to the other.

  • 7. Suicide Prevention For The Kern County Mental Health Hotline My family and friends don't quite understand my motivations to become a mental health counselor. Personally, I can think of nothing more rewarding than helping people through dark times and giving hope for a brighter future. Deep down, I'm an idealist with enough life experience to pepper my expectations. There are countless possible research topics within the mental health field, but I've recently developed a deep appreciation of suicide prevention since volunteering for the Kern County Mental Health Hotline. I've also become acutely aware of the relationship between suicide and mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder. According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 15– 34 years old, and the 10th leading cause of death overall. An estimated 90% of those who have died by suicide suffered from mental illness. That makes mental illness the top risk factor (NAMI, 2016). I was able to find these statistics quite readily, but I couldn't find anything relating specifically to mood disorders. Since I am not sure of what type of research already exists on the subject matter, a literature review would be the perfect place to start. Not only would a review help verify that this is direction of research has potential, it would help to develop my understanding of the topic. If I do find that work has been done on the topic, I could narrow my scope to focus on points not previously covered. If I review the preexisting work and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The researchers selected the schools based on their proximity to airports and traffic routes in Spain. They measured the levels of noise the participants faced during their presence in school and conducted tests to determine its effects on health, perception of noise and annoyance using questionnaires. They discovered that aircraft and road traffic noise caused the participants to participants increased levels of annoyance. This research is related to our research as participants in our research will also be exposed to road traffic sounds in the 'city' setting. Mentioned in Daniel Vastfjall's research, Peterson & Aniansson (1998), as cited in Vastfjall, 2002 discovered that in relation to mood, the "dimensions of pleasantness and activation decreased significantly" after participants were exposed to 2 hours of traffic noise. We hope to achieve similar results in our experiment by exposing the participants to just approximately ten minutes of city sound that contains elements of traffic noises. In this research, we aim to discover the combined effects of ambient sound and coloured lighting on mood.

  • 9. Negative Effects Of Mass Media The Mass media is one of the most unique feature of modern society and it has brought with it a variety of changes like increase in social interactions, social change and a change in the standard of life. Media plays an outstanding role in strengthening society because of its purpose in informing, educating and entertaining people. Because of the media's inherent ability to reach large groups of people, it used to convey different messages.The media industries is divided into 9 major industries: the book, newspaper, magazine, film, recording, radio, broadcast television, cable television and computer. These industries have evolved through five different stages over time to appeal to different audiences in different places.There is an association between the development of mass media and social change although there is still debate on if this change is detrimental or beneficial to society as a whole. There has been further argument that the mass media can be used as an instrument because it can be used in influencing people into certain modes of belief. This debate is further emphasized by the difference between active and passive audiences. Salomon and Cohen (1978) argued that unless viewers pay attention to messages, those messages can have no effect on them and therefore should not be considered as exposure.

  • 10. Holy Sonnet 14 Analysis Holy Sonnet 14 presents the struggle between following one's faith and the alluring baseness of the human experience. This work fixates on the ties the speaker has to Satan, and the inability to break those ties without God's intervention. A vein of nearly mad desperation courses through the poem from submissive start to subjugated end, culminating in a pained, almost violent plea for God to ravish him. One can see how the speaker's desolation builds; he longs for God to break him down and repair him, raise him up and "make [him] new" in the first quatrain, but by the final couplet he embraces imprisonment, razing and ravishing. He believes himself unworthy of deliverance in such a far fallen state, requiring trial and punishment before he can again live in the lord's light. An initial hopefulness tempers the anguish of the opening quatrain, and the speaker obviously feels as if God can still mend his corrupted heart. His restoration to a more holy image requires submission to the agony of liberation from sin. An erratic syntax – littered with trochees, spondees, and anapests – indicates a mercurial, near frenzied quality to his plea. Donne does not employ a single straight iambic line in the entire poem; "BAT–ter", a trochee, punctuates the opening line, blunt and rough. This imperative mood of the first verb establishes the urgency of the first quatrain, and the subtle continuance of imperative verbs displays the prevailing tone of pleading, anxious desire for salvation. ...

  • 11. Carl Sandburg's Grass How would you feel if you knew you were standing on soil where thousands of bloody bodies were buried underneath? How would you feel thinking about the fact that humans left their carcasses to decompose on the earth, leaving grass and Mother Nature to cover up the mess? This issue is discussed from the grass's point of view in a poem written at the end of the atrocious Civil War and WWI, where many people were killed. Through the use of imperative tense verbs and the tension between first and third person pronouns, Carl Sandburg displays Grass's obligatory feeling to cover up the mess created by inferior humans in his poem Grass. The first technique Sandburg employs to show this idea is through the use of verbs in the imperative tense. In general,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Throughout the poem, the speaker uses first person pronouns such as "I" and "me," and third person pronouns such as "them." Since one pronoun is not used throughout the entire poem, some tension is created between both pronouns/groups of people. The first person pronouns refer to the Grass, whereas the third person pronouns refer to humans and the bodies of soldiers. This difference in pronouns amplifies the fact that the Grass and humans are dissimilar entities and that there is also a difference in superiority between the two. The use of first person pronouns from the point of view of the Grass makes it seem as if the Grass is the one in control, which is what it wants the reader to think. The tension with the third person pronouns makes the humans come across as inferior. If the first person pronouns came from the humans and the third person pronouns came from the Grass, then this feeling would be switched. With the way Sandburg wrote the poem, the Grass takes charge and wants the humans to leave before they make an even bigger mess so it can get cleaned up. The Grass is confident that it can clean up the mess better than the humans will. Ultimately, although grass is not human, it still has the power to clean up all of the messes made by humanity. In the poem Grass, Carl Sandburg portrays the Grass as more superior than humans ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. The Relationship Between Perfectionism And Maladaptive... Introduction The relationship between Perfectionism, Procrastination and Academic Performance As said by (Brown, Elissa J; Heimberg, Richard G; Frost, Randy O; Makris, Gregory S et al, 1999), 'Perfectionism has been defined as a dispositional tendency to set excessively high performance standards and to then evaluate one's performance in an overly critical manner.'. This investigation looks at two types of perfectionism– Adaptive, and Maladaptive Perfectionism. Adaptive perfectionism is the inclination to set higher standards, participate in study more often, achieve better grades, and emphasize more focus on academic importance in their life. Maladaptive Perfectionism is also a predictor for studying more often, however research has found evidence that it has been linked with higher anxiety, perceived difficulty and no increase in grades (Brown et al., 1999). These two types of perfectionism are measured using 3 of the 6 subscales of Frost et al., (1990)'s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(MPS). A study looked at perfectionism, behaviour, cognition and affect in a women's private liberal arts college gave participants a small range of questionnaires over 6 times in the semester and looked at final grades to see if there was a significant correlation between any of the variables. They found an association between CM perfectionism and anxiety about performance and being overly critical of mistakes. CM was not associated with better grades, and the research concluded it ...

  • 14. The Use of the Subjunctive in Spanish The use of the subjunctive in Spanish: A brief review Clauses are groups of words which express an idea and contain a predicate (i.e., a conjugated verb) and a subject, although of course in Spanish the subject is often merely indicated by the verb ending. They can be divided into two categories: independent clauses (which make sense in and of themselves) and dependent clauses (which need to be used with an independent clause to form a complete sentece). In general, the the indicative, the conditional, and the imperative (command forms) are used in independent clauses; some exceptions will be given in section I below. The subjunctive mood is found primarily in dependent clauses, but of course the other moods can occur there as well,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The verb in an adverbial clauses will be in the subjunctive if the action/state in the clause is anticipated –that is, viewed as being in the future in comparison to the action/state represented by the governing verb. The indicative is used in clauses where the action is viewed as habitual or having been completed. Adverbial clauses are introduced by adverbial conjunctions, some of which by their very nature always indicate something anticipatory and hence always take the subjunctive: antes de que (before), para que (so that), a fin de que (so that), sin que (without), a menos que (unless), and con tal de que (provided that). Some of the more frequent adverbial conjunctions which may take either the indicative or the subjunctive: cuando (when), hasta que (until), despuГ©s de que (after), tan pronto como (as soon as), mientras (while).

For example, "people who are experiencing positive moods or emotions are more flexible and open in their thinking" (Robbins, 2009, p. 268). In the military, being flexible and open to thinking is critical.

Motivation in the military can mean the difference between a good fitness report and a bad one. As a matter of fact, motivation is a key ingredient leadership boards look for when promoting personnel to the next rank. Lastly, "when leaders feel excited, enthusiastic, and active, they may be more likely to energize their subordinates and convey a sense of efficacy, competence, optimism, and enjoyment" (Robbins, 2009, p.268).

  • 24. What Are Bipolar Disorder? The apparent increase in the number of children in today's society that are diagnosed with mental illness, especially that of bipolar disorder, does not seem to come as much of a surprise to anyone. Yet, why is this? Is the recent over–diagnosis due in part to fault within the definition of what pediatric bipolar disorder actually is? Many believe this to be the case; while others support the notion that bipolar disorder is not over diagnosed and the recent prevalence of the disorder is the result of increased awareness on the part of health professionals along with an increase in the number of children who are more readily succumbing to such a disorder. To admit to an overdiagnosis should not be seen as a denial of the disease itself, but rather, the different clinical presentations of the disorder should be seen as an inconsistency among practitioners. This discrepancy results in the acknowledgment of more cases than actually exists; an admission of this over–diagnosis would be seen merely as a flaw within the ability of practitioners to reach a consensus. Such a flaw manifests itself in the over diagnosis of the disorder, which is something that, for the sake of the client as well as the field as a whole, should not be overlooked. It is common for people to fear that of which they do not know; unfortunately, problems arise when this universal lack of knowledge manifests itself in the uncertainty surrounding children who need appropriate direction.

Temperament Characteristics Of Child Development Temperament is defined as the individual behavioral style of the child, the way in which he characteristically reacts to environmental stimuli. Temperament is distinct from the child's innate abilities and motivation. Their are nine temperament traits; activity being the first which is based on the level of motor component in a child's functioning, rated as regular,variable, or irregular. I would rate myself as moderate. I prefer to be independent; I rather do a task myself so that I don't have to watch someone else do it. I also don't like to be confined I prefer to explore the areas and things that surround me. Rhythmicity being the second temperament trait is all about the regularity or predictability in the timing of recurrent activities, rated as regular,variable, or irregular. Regular best describes me because I stick to a routine everyday and if it is changed I have a very hard time dealing with it. I eat the same thing everyday and at the same time everyday. I wake up every morning at the same time, but I fall asleep at different times depending on what I did that day. And lastly I have a difficult time adjusting to different time zones whenever I go away on vacation. The Approach/Withdrawal is the third temperament it is about the nature of a child's response to a new stimulus, rated as approach, variable, or withdrawal.

  • 27. English Verb Forms Of English Grammar According to ELT and Greebaum's The Oxford English Grammar (1996) English verb forms can be systematized under two huge categories, each of them includes sub–categories of forms. 1.Inflected forms: 1.1. Base Form of verbs: In English grammar a regular English verb has only on principal part, from which all following verb forms can be derived. This form is available in dictionary and is called base form. For example, base form is paint, the inflected forms are: paint, paints, painted, painting. Hence we can notice, that the base may be called the bare infinitive and the another common way to referring to verbs is combination with –to + infinitive, for example, to paint (Greenbaum, S., 1996, Pp.118–121) 1.2. Irregular verbs have three principal parts (because the simple past and past participle are unpredictable). For instance, the verb write with the base form write, past form – wrote, and past participle – written, the remaining forms (writes and writing) are derived regularly (Greenbaum, S., 1996, Pp.126–128) 1.3. Also there are such verbs as do, say and have that additionally have irregular third person singular present tense forms. 1.4. That is, the copular verb be is irregular (forms: be, am, is, are, was, were, been and being), 1.5.

However, based on the title, the term "black lace" raises a sense of mystery and darkness as black lace is not completely see–through, there are spots that need to be filled in. To illustrate the value of the black lace fan, the speaker, who is unknown, narrates on how the mother received it and also used very vivid descriptions on its significance.

The shortness of the sentence, "She stood up" acts as a sudden pause in the story, as though this abrupt action has frozen time. In the next few lines, Bolland uses a miserable tone to reflect on the mother's mood. To emphasize this sense of misery, she uses the three rhyming words, "emptying", "killing" and "lighting", which have the connotations of bitterness and depression. Bolland also uses pathetic fallacy to reflect on the emotions of the mother, stating that the distance "smelled" of rain and lightning. The "distance" that is mentioned here may symbolize how distant she and her lover is now. At this point, the readers would feel a sense of pathos towards this character. Hence, the third stanza is a transitioning phase between her presence of the current situation and her stream of consciousness. As mentioned before, the mother loses touch with the real world and is engaged in the beauty and delicacy of the black lace fan. Bolland's use of visual imagery is impressive, as the readers get to have a clear picture of the texture and details of the fan. The lines that read "These are wild roses, appliqued on silk by hand, Darkly picked, stitched boldly, quickly." make the description of the fan sound much more interesting as Bolland has used ...

  • 29. Bipolar Disorder (BP) Bipolar disorder (BP) is a mood disorder that is considered to affect the emotional regulation of individuals who have it (Blaney, Krueger, & Millon, 2015, p.234). Bipolar disorder is also believed to compromise the executive functioning, attention, planning, and regulation for the individuals who have it (Blaney, Krueger, and Millon, 2015, pp.234–235). As a consequence, BP may cause serious adverse consequences to the individuals who have it.

This heritability infers that if one family member has BP, the possibility of another family member having it increases.

  • 30. Use Of Disruption Of Performance On Roles Involving... Focus has been thought to be attained automatically from stimuli with negative valence, allowing quick recognition of possible threats (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). The concept of disruption of performance on roles involving negative words has been heavily researched (Itkes & Mashal, 2015), whereas minimal research has been conducted on the timing of semantic processing where negative valence applies its influence on performance. To view the influence of negative valence on performance, the emotional Stroop task has been utilised (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). The Stroop task involves participants naming colours of words whilst disregarding their background. The words used generally bear negative or neutral valence, and results propose that reaction times are slower to negative words in comparison to neutral words. (Itkes & Mashal, 2015) suggest that achievements on this role show a basic deceleration resulting from dangerous stimuli. In reference to the Automatic Vigilance Hypothesis, surrounding stimuli are involuntarily viewed as negative or positive (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). This rapid reaction occurs due to the allowance for avoidance or approach behaviour. Negative data is prioritised when studies drew attention to factors of behaviour and brain activity. This allows for the cognition system to be prepared for any possible harm, that could disrupt present processing of information (Itkes & Mashal, 2015). Therefore, valence is agreed to be processed early. The question still ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 31. Does Drm Effect Affect Memory? DRM paradigm has been used to produce false memories in controlled conditions. For our project we used positive and neutral mood inductions to examine an effect on false memories using the DRM lists. Storbeck and Clore (2005) found that negative mood leads to fewer false memories and that there is not effect of positive mood on memory. The current experiment is rested on two hypotheses: one that mood does not affect memory; therefore, accuracy will not differ between the two conditions. Second hypothesis is that percentage of lures will be greater in positive condition. The results obtained are consistent with our hypotheses: that positive mood does not affect memory, probably due to counterbalance effect. The percentages of lures are higher in positive condition, regardless of which mood state was induced first. Over the years a numerous studies show that is possible to create false memories, however, the mechanism fundamental to this process is still not fully understood. While researching the topic Valten(1968) concluded that the accuracy of recall is linked to subjects present mood state and created a method that induces different mood states. This becomes standard for research on how psychological functioning could be altered by emotional states.

The Negative Effects Of The Media On The Women's Body Image The increasing and widespread use of media, as well as it tremendous ability to influence its audience, has raised various concerns over the effects the media has on its viewers. One of the fields of increasing concerns is the idea that the media portrays unrealistic body images and that these portrayals have negative consequences on their viewers, especially so for women. Women have always been associated with ideals of beauty and a particular body image. The question arises as to how far the media further perpetuate these models and body images, and what are the consequences of these effects? When the media works to perpetuate such ideals of beauty and body image, the majority of the female population, who do not conform to such ideals and body type, fall prey to psychological issues resulting from body dissatisfaction such as depression, self–hate, negative moods, and emotions, particularly for the younger women. Such negative emotions, when evoked, can lead to negative consequences and actions for the affected female population, which include drastic, harmful steps such as crash diets, self–harm, or cosmetic surgery.

New Jersey native and Italian–American writer Jonathan Pigno writes, "The program should be perceived and evaluated as a fusion of circumstances that depict an aspect of life in our neck of the woods (Pigno)". A viewer might be surprised to realize that the 20–somethings of Jersey Shore are depicting the true to life struggles of Italian–Americans growing up in "uncertain times" (Pigno). Ultimately, episodes of Jersey Shore chronicle a sub–culture situation that Americans should be more aware of. Not only does television enlighten the public to certain burgeoning social situations, it also works to answer some of life's tougher questions.

These relationships between the viewer and the show itself are important to be aware of as they might offer insight into personal problems or help view the world from a more critical perspective.

The second personal pronoun "you" reflects how important Eddies opinion is to Catherine. How she will yield to every demand coming out of his mouth– as back in the 1950s the man was the on who controls the household and makes all the decisions, which is one of the reasons why Catherine is so complaint towards him in their relationship.

Ultimately, another young girl also answers the question, Anne Frank. She makes an important point, "Well, all I can say is that I don't really know yet. I don't think I'll ever feel at home in this house, but that doesn't mean I hate it. It's more like being on vacation in some strange pension. Kind of an odd way to look at life in hiding, but that's how things are" (Frank 374).

Differentiate between recessive or dominant? The difference between the two is that it depends on the parents in which one or the both have the gene that is dominant but in which chase if it is recessive it would not get passed down. D. Is it a chromosomal abnormality? Although there is compelling evidence from twin, family, and adoption studies to support strong genetic determinants for bipolar affective disorder, the underlying molecular–genetic basis for this condition remains poorly understood. The identification of the genes responsible for major psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder would greatly enhance our understanding of etiology, as well as open new avenues for the development of more specific and effective treatments.
