Both “Psychological operations”, by Phil klay, and “On the rainy river”, by Tim O’Brien highlight the idea that one’s family is not necessarily made up of people who are related by blood. In “Psychological operations”, the narrator, Waguih, meets a woman, Zara, who he is able to connect with. He is able to tell her the full story of what happened to him while he was at war without her attacking him verbally. This is in sharp contrast to how Waguih’s father reacts; he kicks Waguih out after hearing the story. While Waguih is unable to tell his father information that is very important to his personality, he is able to tell a woman who he barely knows.…
Janet Ainsworth’s journal article, “’You Have the Right to Remain Silent. . .’ But Only If You Ask for It Just So: The Role of Linguistic Ideology in American Police Interrogation Law,” addresses the complexities that arise when attempting to invoke Miranda rights. Ainsworth begins the article by explaining how the Miranda rights were established as a compromise with its initial goal to alleviate pressure from those detained. She references the Davis v United States case as a key example due to its ruling which held that Miranda rights could only be invoked when the language used by the arrestee has a clear and unambiguous meaning.…

Family plays a major psychological part in one’s life. The dynamics of the family have effects that are positive, negative, or both, on a person. The role of family in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood is to shape and define each individual from childhood to the person that they are as an adult, creating different outcomes that are most profound in cases such as Barbara Johnson and Perry Smith.…
I watch the movie Hitch. It was great movie I really enjoyed watching this movie and paying close attention to the details in this move. It was lack of communication and listening and trust issues between Sarah and Alex. As individuals disclose information about themselves the hope is they will not be judged or looked at differently. Our text explains that “when you self-disclose, others have personal information about you. Perhaps they will judge you negatively…
Topic Sentence: Family is a great catalyst for establishing a sense of belonging. It is where one expects to find un conditional love and support, as well as possessing a bond formed between parent and child that transcends the boundaries of hardships. However in the memoir Romulus My Father, by Arthur Golden the concept of family is complicated by the Gaita's move to Australia and Christina's mental illness. Raimond experiences a conflicting sense of belonging within his family, by finding stability and assurance in his father Romulus but a contrasting sense of instability and isolation in his relationship with his mother, Christina.…
In this short story we meet Sister and four members of her family. The Protaganist of the story ia Sister , the oldest child of two girls, and her younger sister Stella-Rondo is the family favorite. It seems everything Sister wants, Stella-Rondo gets. Sister says that Stella-Rondo stole her boyfriend for it was Sister who had been dating Mr. Whitaker first until Stella- Rondo, being the jealous person she was told him that Sister was "one-sided," unequal on both sides. And that in-turn ended the relationship.Sisters real problem is that she is extreamly jelous of Stella-rondo. And she, Sister, at times can be a little selfish. For instance at the end Sister says to herself, "And if Stella-Rondo should come to me this minute, on bended knee, and attempt to explain the incidents of her life with Mr. Whitaker, I'd simply put my fingers in both my ears and refuse to listen" (153). That statement alone defines her jealously and selfishness towards her sister, because it seems Mr. Whitaker is the only thing she is really upset about for she makes no mention about any of the other family members,…

“The wolf comeback is due to its listing under the Endangered Spices Act, which provided protection from unregulated killing and resulted in increased scientific research along with reintroduction and management programs” (USFW 1). As of May 2011, the U.S. government and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife services have officially removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list calling the recovery, “one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of conservation.” “There are an estimated 7000 to 11,200 gray wolves in Alaska, 3,700 in the Great Lakes region and 1,675 in the Northern Rockies” (Defenders of Wildlife 1). The gray wolf is no longer on the endangered species list because the numbers have risen so dramatically. Hunting should be allowed, as there is no solid evidence that allowing hunting to be un-ethical.…
Punitive damages are those that have surpassed simple compensation and that have been awarded to punish the defendant. These damages are usually only awarded in special cases and in civil court cases. In some states, punitive damages are based on statute; in other states, they are based on case law. There is no maximum amount of money that a defendant can be ordered to pay. After researching different cases with punitive damages, two different ones stuck out to me: one that I agree with and one that I disagree with.…
