The philosophical basis for the humanistic approach was phenomenology. According to this philosophical perspective, subjective perceptions, feelings, cognitions, experience are more important than objective facts. For example, two people can see the same movie but every person will have a unique subjective perception of this movie. Therefore, humanistic psychologists also believed that every person`s experience is unique and that an individual`s psychology cannot be studied by objective, scientific method such as tests. Also, because of phenomenological ideas humanists believe that one of the main tasks of a therapy is to explore the subjective experiences of a client ( ...

According to Peter Capelli, “52% of U.S. employers surveyed say they have difficulty filling positions because of talent shortages” (par. 10). However, at the time that The Wall Street Journal article was written the unemployment rate was around 9%. The writer explains further that American employers are still complaining about “talent shortages” because they would like to employ persons who do not require any “training or ramp-up time” (Capelli par. 10). These employers hardly hire anyone despite having an “abundance of workers to choose from” (Capelli par. 10). The unwillingness of U.S. employers to hire ...

Domestic disputes

Domestic violence is a gender related crime that has been occurring for a significant period of time, but is one that has a short record. Much of the criminal jurisprudence in the United States defines this behavior as abuse against the wives or against intimate partners. American criminal codices that list down the action as a specific crime rather than lump it together within the general crime of assault define it as “family” or “domestic” violence (Erez, 2002). Texas law has identified three distinct acts of domestic violence: “domestic assault,” “aggravated domestic assault,” and “continuous violence against the ...

According to Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco and Hanson (2014), family dynamics refer to the patterns of interactions or relations between family members. Kaakinen et al. (2014) revealed that each family system often has unique dynamics. Nonetheless, this aspect usually affects the manner in which the members of a particular family views medical care. Such a claim has been confirmed across different media. A good example is The Fighter. Produced in 2010 by David O. Russell, the movie follows the lives of two characters; a professional boxer called Micky Ward and his elder half-brother. It is right to inform that ...

Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368). Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...

There are a variety of criminal acts that happen daily around the world. People who are involved in these vicious acts of violence become victims.

The offenders who cause this terror are either apprehended for their crimes or left to continue the horrific pattern of violence. The two main types of violence that occur ...

The issue of prolonged life has been debated for centuries. In fact, Ponce de Leon spent his life’s work looking for the Fountain of Youth all over the globe. The century long limit of human life has essentially created the fantasy of those who wanted to live longer. This curiosity of these individuals has led to the fantasy of seeing history when it transpired rather than reading it in a book. For this reason, many television shows and books have explored the possibility of a human living beyond their one-hundred-year timeframe. For example, vampires, warlocks, and the like ...

People are naturally good and evil is just a reaction to circumstances and environment. No person is born with an evil mindset. All are born with pure soul and what makes people bad is how they are raised. If people are raised in an environment that offers the survival of the fittest, they tend to do evil just to survive. The slums for example in the third world countries are inhabited by people who just want their family to survive daily so they engage in illegal activities most of the time like stealing among others. The lifestyle is not ...

Organ transplantation is one of the significant issues in health care. There are various legal and ethical considerations encompassing this topic. One of the issues evolving the transplantation of human organs is obtaining the consent of the family of a dead donor.

The idea of losing a loved one because of natural causes or an accident is hard for every person to process. However, having a life of one’s loved one taken in the hands of a murderer is even harder, if not ...
