2. My Career Path
Life works in mysterious ways, and my path has led me to pursue a career in the Social Work field.
My last two years of high school were unique because I was a full time dual enrolled student, which
allowed me to graduate with both my high school diploma and my Associate of Arts degree. Now I am
twenty years old and will be graduating with my Bachelor s in Psychology. Upon entering my
undergraduate program, I had some idea of what career path I wanted to follow. I had taken many
entry level psychology courses while pursuing my Associate of Arts degree and it peaked my interest.
At first, I wanted to be a guidance counselor and then I contemplated being a mental health counselor.
It was not until I took a course the first year of my undergraduate career that I knew my future career
path. The course I took was Issues in Culture and Society with a concentration in Death and Dying. In
that class, I learned how beautiful death can be and how important it is for someone to have a good
death. The class also gave me information on grieving for all ages and how to help individuals
experiencing grief and this is when I decided to become a bereavement counselor. My mother died
when I was seven and I had to grieve in silence, so I want to help others with their grief, so they do not
have a similar experience to mine.
In order to accomplish my aspiration as a bereavement counselor, I knew I needed to gain experience
in the area of bereavement. I began an internship in an organization

3. The Theory Of Fictional Characters
Philosophy 356 Thomasson s Artifactual Theory of Fictional Characters The aim of this paper is to
demonstrate the basic principals of Thomasson s artifactual Theory of Fictional Characters while
offering support for its superiority over other theories due to its correspondence with the common
conceptions and practices of literature when concerning fictional characters. Being that fictional
characters are created solely in the works of literature (at least the fictional characters we are
pondering ) it makes common sense for the conditions to allow their existence to be described by
literature. Section 1 of this paper is devoted to outlining the main tenets of Thomasson s theory with
some comparative examples from other accounts of fictional characters. In section 2, I begin my
argument in support of this theory over that of other realist accounts. I also argue in support of the
artifactual theory of fictional characters when faced with opposition dealing with falsely predicted
properties. When trying to place fictional characters into an existing ontological category one is faced
with an abundance of problems yet, this is the primary route in which many philosophers take when
trying to describe what fictional characters are. From the beginning people are asking the wrong
question. This common mistake is asking where do fictional characters fit, instead of, what do i need
of fictional characters to best make sense of the common concerns and practices of literature in

4. Tintoretto s Last Supper Comparison
Leonardo da Vinci s Last Supper and Tintoretto s Last Supper are similar in subject matter but in
difference from the movement and style. Leonardo created a clarity and unity that is characteristic of
High renaissance. Leonardo placed the balanced structure of pyramidal form of Jesus at the
mathematical center of the painting to give utter stability to the painting. The use of one point linear
perspective, which is the hallmark of the Italian Renaissance style, makes the space three

1. The Syrian civil war also commonly known as the Syrian uprising is an ongoing armed conflict in
Syria between forces loyal to the Syrian Baath Party government and those seeking to oust it. The
conflict began on 15 March 2011, with popular demonstrations that grew nationwide by April 2011.
These demonstrations were part of the wider Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab
Spring. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al Assad, whose family has held the
presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end to over four decades of Baath Party rule. In April
2011, the Syrian Army was deployed to quell the uprising. After months of military sieges, the ...

6. The Arab League, United States, European Union, Arab States of the Persian Gulf, and other
countries condemned the use of violence against the protesters. The Arab League suspended Syria s
membership because of the government s response to the crisis, but granted the Syrian National
Coalition, Syria s seat on 6 March 2013. The Arab League also sent an observer mission in December
2011, as part of its proposal for peaceful resolution of the crisis.
7. A further attempt to resolve the crisis was made through the appointment of Kofi Annan as a special
envoy. On 15 July 2012, the International Committee of the Red Cross assessed the Syrian conflict as
a non international armed conflict (the ICRC s legal term for civil war), thus applying international
humanitarian law under the Geneva Conventions to Syria.

My paper was based on the first topic about how someone s life history can tell you about their
cultural identity. The person I interviewed was a second generation 32 year old immigrant from
Mexico. She is a very kind person, with such an adventurous personality. My plan was to ask several
questions about her life, as well as what she has faced. This is so I can learn more from her and her
culture. I asked a couple of questions about her life and practices to figure out how family and changes
helped her adapt to what culture she identifies with growing up. My first heading will consist of her
childhood growing up, the culture she grew up with and how her family plays the important part of her
culture. My second will consist on her adult changes and her identity she has formed. I will then
explain how her experiences have helped shaped her through her life and what she talks about during
the interview as well as any other stories she would like to contribute.
To begin with, she was born in Tijuana, Mexico. She was homeschooled after she finished middle
school because her parents believed it to be better for her to remain home to teach her how they see fit.
Her connection with her parents was not that good, but they still bonded during holidays and cultural
traditions. She identifies with the American culture more than a Mexican culture, despite her mother
being Mexican; she did not live a Mexican lifestyle or celebrated much Mexican holidays growing up.

The origin, and the history of the fire service is what led it to be a such an essential service in our lives
today. The first fire department was created in Rome; it was a group made up of slaves chosen by
Aedile Marcus. Marcus Licinius Crassus was born around the year 115 BC and came from a rich
family. Marcus had formed his own firemen army , they were 500 men who rushed into burning
buildings. When the firemen came to extinguish the fire, Crassus and his men couldn t settle on a
price. Finally, when they came to an agreement, the building already burned halfway. This encouraged
the installation of a proper fire service system, what we now know today as the Fire Department.

9. Television Genre And Style Of Mockumentaries Essay
Within the realm of television today, many of the more popular comedies have a very specific style of
production and way of capturing scenes. This style is often referred to as the Mockumentary style and
can be seen within examples like The Office and Park and Recreation. The popularity of these shows
alone have inspired many other different spin offs and takes on this specific style of comedy, but these
shows shouldn t be credited as the founders of the mockumentary style. In fact, for television shows
the mockumentary s history goes farther back by a couple of decades. This paper will attempt to
discover the answers to three main questions regarding the television genre and style of
mockumentaries. Firstly, the definition of a mockumentary and a general understanding of the stylistic
similarities must be examined before the history of the mockumentary is to be explored. Next, the
historical background will be considered as well as the cultural significance and impact of the shows
that emulated this mockumentary style. Lastly, the paper will look to the current cultural contexts and
the social impacts of the popular, modern day televisions shows that incorporate these styles. Through
the analysis of the mockumentary style in the combination of the historical lens and the definitional
lens, modern day shows that utilize this subgenre will be better understood as well as their impacts on
society itself.

Stereotypes are assumptions or generalizations that people think and label a particular person as
belonging to a group based on how they look in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, and other categories.
Stereotypes are a big problem in our society because they have a negative impact and can be
damaging to a person s emotions. Thus, any stereotype on individuals is viewed as wrong and in the
end, it s us judging one another. I was stereotyped as a thief because some people assumed I was
stealing. As a result, I was affected by this because if they stopped to see what I was actually doing,

14. Theories Of Primary Language Acquisition
Two theories of primary language acquisition emerged from 1950s psychological research: B.F.
Skinner s behaviorist theory and Noam Chomsky s biological theory of language development.
Primary language acquisition addresses specifically the way in which an infant s native language is
beginning to form, starting at birth. Primary language acquisition continues to develop throughout the
rest of childhood within the critical period.
Skinner argued that children acquire and develop language based purely on the behaviorist theory,
which states behaviors are developed and focused around conditioning. If a certain behavior produces
a positive outcome, the individual is more likely to repeat that behavior. However, if a certain
behavior produces a negative outcome, the individual is less likely to repeat that specific behavior.
Conditioning, whether classical or operant, was the sole basis on which children acquired language. In
his Verbal Behavior, Skinner gives the following example: Out! Has the same ultimate effect as
turning the knob and pushing against the door. The explanation of both behaviors is the same.
(Skinner, 1949, p. 35) In this form of operant conditioning, Each response is acquired and continues to
be maintained in strength because it is frequently followed by an appropriate consequence. (Skinner,
1949, p. 35) Because Out! is followed by the appropriate consequence, i.e., successfully opening and

18. Yams And Symbolism In Things Fall Apart By Chinua Achebe
Emphasized throughout the novel, we see the chi of a person determining whether they will receive a
good yam harvest for the year or not. Thus, in order to maintain a good chi, men within Ibo pay
respects to the earth goddess Ani, through the Feast of the New Yam. Spiritually, the earth goddess
overlooks and distributes successful harvests to men in Ibo. Physically, men are in charge of
harvesting their own crops to ensure a successful harvest. Hence, throughout Things Fall Apart,
Chinua Achebe utilizes symbolism through yams and motifs through the earth goddess and the chi of a
person to emphasize one of the overarching themes of the novel: wealth, respect, and power.
Throughout the novel, it is emphasized that the more yams a man is able to successfully grow, the
richer in respect and wealth he is to become. Thus, Unoka s inability to grow a successful harvest
makes him known for the weakness of [his] machete and hoe (Achebe 17). In turn, Unoka s lack of
strength and wealth causes the earth goddess to feel a disgrace towards him. And, when a man does
not appear to have worked for his family s well being, he is not allowed to die in his house (Achebe
18). As a result, we see Unoka dying in isolation to the world because his chi states that he is not
worthy of the respect of his community. Unlike his father Unoka, Okonkwo works towards the respect
of his people. By planting crops specifically yams, Okonkwo takes on a great pride towards his doings

quantities is relatively cheap, they generally make instruments with good resonance and sound quality.
There are two modern, sleek looking finishes available with the Ibanez RG2EX1, including jet black
and royal blue. The neck is bolted on the guitar, and made of three separate pieces of maple wood. The
fretboard, meanwhile, is made of rosewood. It has twenty four jumbo frets with pearloid dot inlays.

factories in at least 18 countries around the world, with annual productivity of 180 million tires, 10
million copies of the map, and guides.
Importantly, in terms of manufacturing of Michelin, Michelin puts quality first not just as a slogan
quality managers maintain absolute controlled over the output per plant and even the output per tyre
(Hessman, 2013). So how can Michelin improves production efficiency with maintaining high quality
production as a constant challenge for Michelin Group s production management.
Methodology
According to the main challenge of inefficient production, i.e. Michelin with improving production
efficiency based on maintaining high quality, the theory of lean production system will meet the
direction of development in Michelin production management. Thomas (1996) pointed that lean
production can reduce overall costs, especially indirect costs, while remaining quality standards and
reducing manufacturing cycle time. The goal of Lean production is maximization of enterprise
interests, and timely manufacturing and eliminating all waste in the production process of raw
materials procurement, storage, transportation, production and packaging(Heizer, Render and Munson,
2017). There are four elements from the lean production theory will be utilized to develop the
analysis: value stream, pull production system, waste elimination and total quality management.

27. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation In Newborns
Newborn Resuscitation Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a skill that almost anyone can learn to
perform. It can be lifesaving when performed on a newborn whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
When the heart stops beating, the flow of blood to the brain and other vital organs also stops. This can
cause brain damage or death if not treated within minutes. CPR for newborns is different from CPR
for children or adults. The steps of CPR for newborns are based on an A B C sequence: airway,
breathing, and circulation. Performing CPR on a newborn may be necessary when: The newborn has
been born early (prematurely). The newborn is not crying or breathing. The newborn appears floppy
and lacks control over his or her limbs. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
C Assist Circulation through Chest Compressions After 2 breaths, start chest compressions
immediately. Chest compressions mimic the beating of the heart, and help circulate blood through the
newborn s body. Begin compressions in the center of the chest, about two inches below the nipples.
Encircle the newborn s chest with both hands. Place your thumbs over the center of the newborn s
chest. Push your thumbs down until the newborn s chest moves down 1.5 inches (4 cm). Use two
fingers if you cannot do compressions with your thumbs. Allow the chest to return completely to its
normal position before the next compression. After every 3 compressions, provide 1 assisted breath.
There should be 90 compressions and 30 breaths during each minute of newborn CPR. ○ If there are 2
rescuers, the rescuers should change roles every 2 minutes to maintain quality and rate of chest
compressions. The switch should take place as quickly as possible (in less than 5 seconds). If the
newborn is still unresponsive, not breathing, or only gasping, you must continue CPR. Continue with
CPR until the newborn starts breathing normally or until medical personnel take

universal themes of vaulting and corrupting ambition, a reliance on superstition and gender tell us that

In Macbeth the theme of superstition appears right at the beginning with the witches predictions and
carries through the play with more witch predictions. In the play it is seen that Macbeth starts
believing in the witches predictions and his destined fate. He soon forms a reliance on the witches
predictions and seeks them out for more prophesies. In today s society we see that now more than ever
do people want to know about their future, with the businesses of taro reading, psychics and astrology
booming. There are also many television programs and movies like Charmed and Harry Potter, whose
main theme is superstition. In the play the line Macbeth shall never vanquished be until/Great Birnam
wood to high Dunsinane hill/Shall come against him (Act 4, Scene 1), shows us that this theme was
one that Shakespeare wished to communicate with his audience. Therefore through the theme of
superstition it can be seen that Shakespeare is still significant to people in modern day times.
Shakespeare writes about themes that are still relevant because his theme of gender is still seen in
modern societies. In Macbeth gender is explored when Lady Macbeth questions her husband s
manhood in order to persuade him to kill Duncan. She says that if he can kill in war, he can kill now.
Lady Macbeth also wishes that she could be unsexed. In modern societies we see that many people

30. Ethanol And Fuel Properties Of Ethanol
Ethanol contains a two carbon alcohol and six hydrogen (C2H6O) and has low cetane number (8), low
heating value (26.8) and low viscosity (1.08) at 40. Table 5. shows the properties of diesel, gasoline,
ethanol, acetone and butanol. Furthermore, the stability of any blend is an im portant factor in fuel
properties. The most significant issue of using ethanol with diesel is solu bility and miscibility.
Therefore, the use of biodiesel is an important method to stabilise ethanol in diesel [119, 124]. In order
to maintain the stability of ethanol diesel blends, two types of additive methodologies are normally
employed: the addition of surfactants (emulsifiers) that yield stable emulsions or micro emulsion, and

The effects of adding of vegetable methyl ester to diesel ethanol blends were studied by Chen et al.
[152], who observed that the addition of ester to diesel ethanol blends prevents phase separation up to
30% by volume to maintain the homogeneity of blends
Other significant research has undertaken by Barabás et al. [119] who investigated to 27 mix ture
samples of ethanol, biodiesel and diesel in different ratios. The experiments showed that only seven
samples were suitable in terms of miscibility and stability and two samples (B10D85E5 and
B25D70E5) could successfully replace diesel.
4.2.2 Ethanol blend Tested in CI Engines
Blending ethanol with diesel fuel has several issues in terms of performance and emission lev els. A
number of studies have examined the effect of ethanol on thermal efficiency, brake power, fuel
consumption and emission levels. Some research [114, 120, 125, 126] obtained dif ferent results in
terms of performance and emission levels. Most of this research agreed that ethanol causes an increase
in fuel consumption (BSFC) and a decrease in the efficiency of the diesel engines. Chen et al. [120]

Freestyle Stroke Essay
Swimming is science. When a person swims, they are displacing water. In Ancient Greek times, a
physicist named Archimedes discovered the principle of buoyancy. Archimedes Principle states that an
object in gravity applies a force, or a buoyancy, to whatever it is surrounded in. When a person
submerges him or herself in water, the water levels will rise. The density of a person or object
determines if its floatation. If an object is more dense than the water, it will sink. On the contrary, an
object lighter than water will float. There are various styles or strokes including breaststroke, freestyle,
and more. Freestyle swimming consists of many components that combine to efficiently swim.

The head is important. If the head is pressed down, the lower body will stay afloat. In our first few
days, our class practiced 6 foot and 9 vessels. We had a small competition that checked to see which
person could glide the furthest. The typical goals for the vessel competitions were 4 feet and 4.5 feet.
This taught our class how to properly use our body in the freestyle stroke to eliminate drag. Another
lesson we learned was to swim with high elbows. The pull of the water causes a lot of frontal drag and
keeping closer to the water surface reduced the amount of drag. This was another way to reduce drag.
Lower body movement is essential. Propulsion off of the wall could easily kick start swimming. The
stronger the push, the better. From there, a swimmer could start kicking. The first kick we learned was
the flutter kick, probably the most basic kick in swimming. With straight legs, move the legs up and
down alternatively. It requires the movement of hips, legs, and feet. Next, we learned about dolphin
kicks. This kick requires one to move their whole body like a wave. While streamlining, press the
chest down then release. As the chest rises, thrust the hips down with the legs following. The legs
must be tightly pressed together, knees should be slightly bent as the hips sink, and feet must be
pointed. As the lower body rises and the upper body dips, straighten the knees to push through the
water. Both kicks effectively propel a person

35. The Space Shuttle Challenger
The significant engineering failure that will be analyze is the Space Shuttle Challenger. In 1986, the
Challenger faced many launch delays. The first delay of the Challenger was due to the expected
weather front and presence of the Vice President (ENGINEERING.com). Since rain and cold
temperatures were expected to move into the area, they didn t want the Vice President to make
unnecessary trips. However, the launch window became perfect weather conditions since the weather
front stalled. The second delay was due to a defective microswitch in the hatch locking mechanism.
By the time the problem was fixed, the winds became too high and the weather front had started to
move again.
Due to these delays, the night before the launch, there was a teleconference between engineers and
management from Kennedy Space Center, Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, and Morton
Thiokol in Utah (ENGINEERING.com). This teleconference was to investigate whether the
challenger was safe to launch with the predicted temperatures of low 20s. Due to inconclusive data
and having no low temperature data below 53°F, the managers recommended the launch to continue
and not be delayed. Temperatures dropped to about 8°F the night before launch. On January 28, 1986,
the space shuttle challenger broke apart after seventy three seconds from launch (History.com). This
catastrophic event killed the entire crew in Challenger while traumatizing the nation and throwing the

37. Human Rights During The War On Terror Essay
INTP 245 Research Essay
What role do Human Rights play in the war on terror? How has this affected the foreign policy of the
United States of America when combating this war?
When looking internationally over the past decade there has been an emergence of vague definable
terms that act as holistic guidelines for how international order should be constructed. One of these
terms is human rights which acts as a set of overarching guidelines that all States should aim for and
achieve. States have incorporated the ideals of human rights into their foreign policies in various ways
especially in the area of war and conflict. This essay will focus on what role human rights play in the
war on terror and how the human rights discourse has affected the United States of America s (USA)
foreign policy on the war on terror. This ultimately illustrates that the Western construct of human
rights is an invaluable policy tool as a mandate to interfere in other states affairs and USA have
continually utilised it as such a tool.
The concept of human rights has become ambiguous, with very little agreement regarding its meaning
and application internationally. The concept of human rights could be deemed as what Gallie termed
as an essentially contested concept. This argues that when it comes to certain concepts there is just
