The findings of a select number of scholarly materials will be presented in the succeeding sections focusing on the following aspects: (a) ...

In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results.
When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...

Raman spectroscopy is dependent on scattering of light. When light interacts with matter, energy exchange can take place through absorption, simulated emission, Raman scattering or spontaneous emission. In Raman scattering, the emitted photons have less energy and lower frequency in comparison with the absorbed photons. Some energy of the emitted photons is transferred to the molecules. Raman spectroscopy is a method which collects the chemical fingerprints associated with molecules. Every molecule has different levels of vibrational energy and the emitted photons experience shift in their wavelengths. The wavelength shifts are collected,examined and analyzed for sample identification. Raman spectroscopy ...

Among initial efforts to investigate the impact of mass communications, the most widespread are the reports forwarded by the eighth black bound volume published between 1933 and 1935 (Rupprecht, 2011).

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social audience in many crime ...

In broad terms, the concept of sustainable economic growth is an attempt to combine growing concerns about a range of environmental issues with socio-economic issues (Bill Hopwood, Mary Mellor and Geoff O’Brien, 2005). However, the phrase sustainable economic growth or development has many meanings attached to it. Sustainability itself (as a strategic concept originated in the Brundtland report in the year 1987) means a degree of growth which can be retained without creating other substantial economic or environmental problems for future generations. In other words, it is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ...

There are numerous dynamics that affect and directs themes, events and characters of a story. Time and change also affect stories in a substantial manner. The same has been described prominently in stories, “A rose for Emily” and “A&P”.

Contrasting Treatment of Time
The two poems, “Piano” by D.H.Lawrence and “To my Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell may appear to depict the flow of time, but while the first one turns the spotlight on the power of the past, the second one stresses on the importance of the present. It is also remarkable how each of the two poets uses language in his own style to produce a very distinct effect, making the poems dissimilar in many ways.
Both the poets have drawn vivid portraits with words. A song takes Lawrence back to his past, and makes ...

Religions have been a part of every nation’s history and tradition since the start of civilizations.

These religions try to satisfy the question of the existence of life, the idea of what is God and the concept of spirituality and human responsibility. While some of them have considered that there is only one God or a Supreme Being that watches the existence of man and the presence of life and death, they still differ in understanding the ...

In 2001, John Irving was holding forth at a Q&A at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and one of the questions had to do with the degree to which Irving’s fiction is autobiographical. After all, if you look at just about all of his novels, the main character has a father who is either completely absent, handicapped, or just incompetent; the setting includes a New England prep school, Toronto, or Vienna (or a combination of the three); the main character has an interest in wrestling; and the plot and themes of the novel have a connection to sexual boundaries. ...

Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games (2008) bear striking resemblances to each other. Both novels are set in an apocalyptic dystopian future; both novels use modern advances in the media as a central part of their plot; and both could be argued, in a way, to address the issues of male/female relationships. They are linked too by critical confusion over their genre. Are they both science fiction novels? Are they fantasies? Are they informed predictions of the fate of humanity? Atwood has always been adamant that her earlier novel The Handmaid’s Tale was ...

Dubliners is a novel in the loosest of senses, much in the same way that The Martian Chronicles is a novel. Both books contain vignettes that can stand alone as separate short stories, although they contain characters and a sort of story arc that holds the whole entity together. One of the main elements that holds the story together is the plight of the poor in Dublin; despite the fact that most of the characters are poor, the truth of their poverty comes to the reader indirectly, through such details as the fact that Lenehan has not eaten all day, while he ...
