Touching the Void is an inspiring story about the power of the human will. To my surprise‚ the film left me emotionally spent as it touched on the issues of friendship‚ mortality and survival. I am sure many of my classmates will agree that it is an amazing story. But‚ for me‚ the thing that makes it truly inspirational is the way that Joe never gave up. In this brief paper I intend to show how Self Determination and Goal Setting theory influenced Joe’s inspiring story of survival. Self Determination

The fabliaux‚ "The Reeve ’s Tale" and "The Miller ’s Tale" of Geoffrey Chaucer ’s The Canterbury Tales‚ express similar characteristics yet simultaneously express differences.
