In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans were taken hostage. However, six managed to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA was eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devised a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez created the ruse and proceed to Iran as its associate producer. However, time was running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House had grave doubts about the operation themselves.

From the book the most striking important things were Carolina kindness, the welfare and, Ehrenreich braveness to complete her project on the poor. Carolina, in my opinion, is a strong character in Ehrenreich’s book. Her kindness and determination captivate my attention. Carolina together with her husband make about $40.000 dollars a year and still she was kind to Ehrenreich. Carolina made homemade stew and gave to Ehrenreich. Her attitude shows kindness and solidarity.…
In the poem “David” by Earle Birney, I believe that Bobby’s actions were not justified for three main reasons. The first reason why I don’t think that Bobby’s actions were good is because he didn’t make an effort to save David. He gave up very quickly and not once did he think about the positives of trying to save him. Much like the first reason, Bobby did not give David’s family or anyone else a chance to say goodbye. It would have been great if David would have gotten the opportunity to say his last words to other people apart from Bobby. The last reason why Bobby’s actions were not justified is because of the guilt and painful reminder that he would be left with. On his way down the mountain, he clearly still had an image in his head of…

As a reader, I am better able to connect to Patsy Rodenburg’s words than to Kristin Linklater’s. Rodenburg is immensely honest and open about her own journey and I find many similarities between where I am at and where she used to be at. Most specifically, I love her words on laughter. Like Rodenburg, I, too, have had this deep insecurity that I may perhaps be incapable of humor. Especially as a woman who wants to enter a male-dominated field such as law and intelligence, I have been trained to control my voice and, thereon, my laugher as well.…

The influences of human development are physical, cognitive, social, moral, and personality. Each one begins developing before birth and will affect the individual throughout his or her entire life. Some of these factors have environmental causes, and some caused by heredity. In many cases, the areas of distinction will be obvious, and in others, it will not be apparent. From birth to one year, almost everything is intertwined, and it is difficult to know exactly, which problem has been caused by something that happened during infancy because the infant cannot voice the specific problem as it is happening. Some conditions discovered during infancy are discussed. There is not much moral growth during infancy, but there are many theoretical perspectives about that. A brief description of Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson’s theories are discussed as well.…

There are eight series of stages in Erickson’s theory of psychosocial development. In each stage, a person experiences a conflict that is a turning point in the particular developmental stage. The conflicts that a person endures center on developing or not developing a quality. The first stage is Trust vs. Mistrust Stage occurs during the age of infancy. This stage is the fundamental stage in life and because infants are dependent, they develop trust based on the quality and dependability of their caregivers. When a child successfully develops trust, he or she will obtain safeness and security in the world. If the child is shown inconsistently, no emotion, or rejection the child will not develop trust resulting to fear and belief of unpredictable and inconsistency in the world. The second stage is Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt occurs during early childhood age. This stage focuses on development of greater…
