... all been biologically determined. Another interesting idea was Freud's theory of dream occurence. This theory states that dreams occur in "ego collapse", which is when the Id and the Superego close in upon the Ego. Most of Freud's theories are still supported today by well renowned psychologists, especially those dealing with the defense mechanisms our body uses while we dream. Dreams take place when we regress, repress, or deny things going on in our lives, which causes an interanl conflict. This conflict, in turn, makes dreams take place. Dreaming prevents people from building up intolerable states of tension while we are awake. So, if you become too emo ...

... a waste of time, I was now glad that I went. Now I could just go home and have a lot of the information I needed immeaditly at my disposal. After having many discusions with my parents about the route I was headed in I am pretty sure that I would like to major in architecture. Although it means a lot of hard work and detication I believe I have it in me to take it all on. My parents want me to have advantages that they never had as teenagers. It means a great deal to me to have them be so involved with my future, so more than anything I want to make them proud of me. I want to show them that I can do whatever I put my mind to. I want to be sucsessful in the ...

... game. Planning the line-up takes a lot of thought and careful consideration. Every player on the roster must play at least one inning of the game, or loss by forfeiture will result. As in both sports, the umpire's judgements are official. Parents think they have the last say with coaches. Wrong! A coach cannot please everyone. Few of the parents will complain of their child having certain disadvantages. Among all types of criticism a coach faces, the one heard the most is that their child has not been getting enough playing time. In baseball, there are nine positions on the playing field. Softball has an additional player, the rover. The parents seldom ...

... Robinson "Robbie" Risner. Shot down during a mission over Vietnam, Colonel Risner is taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese, and placed in a cell in downtown Hanoi. As he parades down the street as a prize for the patriots to see and jeer at, he is struck in the head by rocks, lashed out at with sticks, and he was spat upon. At the end of the procession, Colonel Risner arrived at what was to be his home for the next five, grueling years. He had all of the comforts home: a bed to sleep in, meals, and medical care. Well, not exactly the way we think of home, however. His bed consisted of a concrete slab with a one-half inch bamboo mat for a mattress. The s ...

... Charles committed was a terrible one at that, but why? Why would some one do such a thing and seem to have no emotion about it what so ever? Why would someone so young, someone, who seemed to have their whole life ahead of them, bludgeon, stab, and then proceed to rape a corpse? To get the answers to these questions we must try to understand Charles and see what the drive is behind his homicidal tendencies. Charles himself has been the victim of some gruesome crimes. From the time of his birth he was not a wanted child, he had been placed in and out of orphanages and institutions for his entire young life. In these institutions he had been severely beaten, scolded ...

... “Death—the last sleep? No it is the final awakening.” This is an example of someone seeing the lighter side of an event that has such a dark aura to many people. Thus comes the field of viewing death as a blessing or a thing to look forward to. The concept of a religion has created a whole culture of death is this or that people. Christians see death as the gateway to reach heaven. Where they will have no wants, everything you ever wanted is there. They also see the process of death as an act of God, for it is said that “only God can start a life and only God can take it away.” (Euthanasia…)The Islamic religion sees it the same way. Other beliefs across the globe h ...

... middle-class Islamic families, and, as in this case, the influence on the family of Ahmad Abd al-Jawad. The isolation of this particular family from the Western culture evolves from the differences in personalities, religious beliefs and customs, political and economic circumstances between them.

He, an aggressive, controlling father, allows no challenge to his authority or any bending of the strict rules of Islam and society, and practically dominates the family. ...
