... "sandwich generation". These individuals are under the pressure of the needs of their own maturing children and their parents. This paper focuses on an interaction with a 50-year-old female named Lynn. She actually fits all but a few of the major developmental tasks of her age. Lynn effectively meets intimacy and family needs in that she has a positive, loving relationship with all of her four children. She struggles, though, with intimacy between herself and her husband of thirty years. She finds him immature and in the "dark ages" because he consistently ignores her requests to pay attention to her needs. "For many, the transition to middle adulthood invo ...

... suffering that occurred on the other side of the town. The unforeseen visit to the impoverished part of town forces the running man to recognize the fact that unlike his sheltered life, the world is rarely just and fair. The life of the running man is one of pleasure and contentment. He is a stereotypical white-man, and fulfills all aspects of the character that was created for him. He is a wealthy broker that has a family, a home and a life free from injustice. In his world, he is free from the pain and suffering that many other people have to suffer. Since most short stories have little character development, it is up to the reader to create the character t ...

... you must have the will and dedication because of the amount of time football consumes through practice, meetings and games. People who become initially involved in football usually start early in life usually around nine or ten in peewee football and lasts until they’re thirteen. Even at this early stage of peewee, football is very demanding because of the time involved. This involvement is usually by choice of the child because of interest in football and parents usually don’t force their children into playing. Involvement in peewee football is due to the fact that children have a lot more time to play than young adults. Football is also economic ...

... the age of twelve only ten percent of Canadian youth are active enough to receive any kind of health benefit. I am proud to be among this minority, however; I recognize that our nation is experiencing a health crisis. What we need to do (both parents and students) is encourage the introduction of a new school program, which develops and maintains cardio-respiratory efficiency, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility. This program must be for everyone, not just the elite athlete. We need a program that encourages a positive attitude towards personal fitness by meeting the needs and interests of all students. Most importantly, the program must ...

... love, find friends and lose them, play games, flirt, create a little high art and a lot of idle talk. People in do just about everything people do in real life, but we leave our bodies behind. You can't kiss anybody and nobody can punch you in the nose, but a lot can happen within those boundaries. To the millions who have been drawn into it, the richness and vitality of computer- linked cultures is attractive, even addictive. (p. 3) Example of Virtual environment: IRC One of these rich and vital computer-linked cultures is the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), a multi-user synchronous "chat" line that was designed for social rather than business use. The IRC is comprise ...

... no amount of amateur dabbling could have prepared him for the striking cultural differences which he had encountered as a resident. The mother and her two young boys had never before entered the United States, furthering the families feelings of extraneous inhabitants. People looked slightly different and spoke a language which was incomprehensible for most of the family. Daily life was a lonely life. Daily routines were handled different in the States. The mother would not dare venture out on ordinarily simple shopping errands. Signage and even weighing measurements were unintelligible. Indoor bathrooms, water heaters, and washing machines all further inh ...

... intelligent Apollonian. Sometimes one being becomes more dominant than the other or they both share the same plane. Even though individually created, these theories could be intertwined, even used together. Thus it is the object of this paper to prove that the Freudian theory about the unconscious id, and ego are analogous to the idea on the Apollonian and Dionysian duality's presented by Nietzsche. "The division of the psychical into what is conscious and what is unconscious is the fundamental premise of psycho-analysis; and it alone makes it possible for psycho-analysis to understand the pathological processes in mental life..." (Freud, The Ego and the Id, 3 ...

... the mechanics of Copernican astronomy of Galileo. In 1665, traces of his scientific genius began to appear as he made a series of discoveries in the field of mathematics, optics, physics and astronomy. At that same time he laid the foundations for differential and integral calculus. It should be noted that he discovered calculus years roughly 8 years before Leibniz discovered them. He used his differentiation methods and sought to unify many separate techniques developed earlier to solve seemingly irrelevant problems like finding the area, tangents and the maxima and minima of functions. He wrote his De Methiodis et Fluxionum in 1671but was never published until 1 ...

... information about lesbians and gays, and their contributions to society. Many people who are homophobic have negative attitudes to the whole gay community. Homophobic people find gays repulsive, and pity them for the lifestyle they have chosen to live. The term homophobia is inadequate to cover the full range of people's negative beliefs about the gay community. Many people think that homosexuality is a crime agaist nature; anyone who practices it is sick, crazy, immoral, sinful, or wicked. Research has found out that there is no greater incidence of mental illness among lesbians and gays than among heterosexuals. Homophobic people might think that gays and le ...

... of ranking students based solely on letters or numbers. Individuality and creativity were pushed aside so colleges, universities, graduate schools and employers would be able to judge their candidates. In the text, Celebrating Diversity, a short segment called, " Add Teaching To High-Risk Jobs," writes, "You can have an 'A'." Students' minds are generally focused on getting an "A," so they usually don't think about learning, rather they constantly render on the "A." Many candidates' acceptance are based on their academic and test standards and nothing more. Grades are thought to be the most accurate way to judge individuals and schools provide testing and gra ...
