... up the Chinese philosophy of Taoism. One may even say the Pooh is a master of Taoism. Born a Scotsman, Alan Alexander Milne spent most of his childhood in London where he grew up to be one of the most well known British authors of his time(Dennis). Today Milne is praised for his “accurate and sympathetic observations of child behavior, his wit, and his skill with language, especially wordplay and dialogue” which are easily recognizable in his famous Winnie the Pooh stories(Discovering Authors). Although people today regard Milne’s stories as children’s stories, Milne did not intend them for children, but rather for the child within ever ...

... making behavioral decisions. It involves a well defined relationship between the Expectancy Value Theory, Subjective Norms, and Self Efficacy. In order to properly establish this relationship it is necessary to supply some definitions of the previously mentioned terms. The Expectancy Value Theory plainly states that “for behaviors, our attitudes were a function of our beliefs that an outcome would occur, and an emotional evaluation of that outcome.” There is a mathematical advantage that applies your rating of certain factors and weighs the positives versus the negatives. The second term that applies to the theory at hand is Subjective Norms. It ...

... whether it be with them selves or with other individuals. The Prison Simulation, studied by Haney, Banks & Zimbardo is quite impressive as to how extensive the study actually is. Due to lack of length in this paper the synopsis dealing with this study will be brief. The experiment consisted of 24 voluntary men who were divided into two groups: Guards and Inmates. Both groups were given uniforms to encourage their roles in the prison scenario. The subjects immediately began to take on rolls as to how they thought they should act. The prison had a much greater impact on all persons than could have been anticipated. The study was supposed to last 14 days, b ...

... of looking good. In the past, I've talked to some of my girl friends and they told me that the pressure and competition they are faced with is stressful and painful. On the contrary being a guy, I do not have that much of a pressure trying to look better than a stronger and more athletic guy. I am rather more concerned of my own health and ways to improve it. At times, while walking around casually with my girl friends, when they weren't looking appropriate, would get stares or comments from other female friends. I was even surprised when I heard my girl friends talking about other girls right in front of me, even though most of these times I didn't noti ...

... and the future of education is very exciting when the full extent of this revolutionary phenomena is realized. In the 1960s computers were not widespread and most people who were educated during this decade hardly remember them at all. In the 1970s computers became smaller and less expensive, but the schools still did not use them much throughout most of the decade. By the end of the seventies, computer use in the schools started to increase. Students began to have hands-on experience. In less than a decade, computer use progressed from programming classes for a few of the better students, to literacy classes for all students, to the integration of computers a ...

... not increased in twenty years (Nathan 200). While the gross output value of industry and agriculture increased by 810 percent and national income grew by 420 percent [between 1952 and 1980] ... average individual income increased by only 100 percent (Shirk 28). However, attempts at economic reform in China were not solely due to generosity on the part of the Chinese Communist Party to increase living standards. It had become clear to members of the CCP that economic reform would fulfill a political purpose as well since the party felt that it had suffered a loss of support. (Shirk 23) This movement "from virtue to competence" seemed to mark a serious departure ...

... the monastery to fight the enemies of God. The first spiritual weapon Catherine describes is Zeal, that is solicitude in doing good. God condemns those that are lukewarm and negligent in the way of God. Enemies will see people doing good and will try to corrupt them by persuading them to do too much. Catherine reveals that there is as much danger in too much as in too little. People may try to do good deeds and wind up performing them in excess of what is good for the glory of God. “So exercise all the virtues in proper measure that the weapon of true and diligent discretion may be exercised by us for our salvation and for the praise of Christ.” Cath ...

... competitive than before.” Big companies tend to care only for making money and devalue things such as the quality of the product they produce. “Smaller companies by contrast, can hold some clear advantages. They are leaner, more focused and nimble than giants and relatively speaking, the can be more profitable.” Smaller companies, I believe, are out to make a living and care for the consumer’s satisfaction more then just the money they will receive. They know that if they don’t produce well and make people happy then they will go out of business or bought out by a bigger company. aren’t what I would call the most successful thing in the world either.
