A main stressor for my client is the ending of his marriage. He declares that he wants to resume his relationship with his ex-wife. Even though he and his ex-wife have not spoken in the past 8-months, Pat asserts that they are still "very much in love" and that he is still married. Pat is focused on trying to get a letter to her, reading the books she assigns to her students, and visiting the school where she works. He asserts that they are not together because she wanted him to lose weight and now that he has lost weight he thinks that they will revive their relationship. This stressor serves to motivate most of Pat's daily activities in the hopes that performing these activities will make him more desirable to his ex-wife. Pat is also stressed by his dysfunctional relationship with his father. His father has been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and follows strict rituals, which he believes will impact the outcome of football games. Pat's erratic behavior often interrupts his father's rituals and organizational practices, leading to frequent disagreements between them. On several occasions, Pat reports that he does not want to be like his father. It seems that Pat worries that his assault of man who was having an …show more content…
While he exhibits symptoms of this stressor less frequently and severely than his other stressors, it is apparent that Pat is concerned about his occupation, potentially as a way to earn back his ex-wife's affection. Pat expressed that he visited the high school where he was previously employed and begged for a teaching or substitute teaching position for any subject that they would offer. Directly after asking for a job, he asked if his ex-wife still worked at the school. The woman at the school told him that the man he assaulted still worked at the school, which was upsetting to him. Nevertheless, he still seems stressed by the prospect of not regaining employment at the
Pat comes from a typical suburban household consisting of his mother, Dolores Solitano, who is around 60 years of age, his father, Patrick Solitano Sr., who is around 65 years of age, and his older brother, Jake Solitano, who is around 40 years of age. Pat’s mother is extremely caring and supportive, especially with matters concerning his mental illness. She constantly gives Pat advice and seeks to help him; she is even the reason that he was allowed to leave the detention facility against the psychiatrist’s advice, as she said that she believes in him and trusts that he would behave once discharged.
A college degree is becoming increasingly more valuable with many decent jobs requiring some sort of higher education. As more students prepare to enter college, many are faced with the escalating prices of not only tuition, but also other things such as textbooks and the cost of living. This problem has been especially prominent in California, particularly within the last month, due to the UC regent’s new and controversial plans for an in-state tuition increase of five percent in five years. With the rising prices of tuition many students must turn to student loans. These loans often get them through the expensive costs of school, but after they graduate, they are left with a substantial amount of debt to pay off. I think we can all agree that something must be done in order to stop students from having to pay these ridiculous tuition prices while still being able to get a quality college education. The answer actually lies in a system used decades ago, known as indentured servitude. If we want to create economic stability for future generations to come we must give them proper access to a college education without the worry of tremendous financial debt. In order to achieve this, I propose that any student will be able to attend a university free of charge, but after graduating must be given to an owner who will dictate their work, where and how they live until they finish their service which will range from fifteen to twenty years, depending on the
The implied thesis of Swift’s “A Modest Proposal" is that 18th century Ireland would be in a better situation if the Irish society and monarchy actually treated problems such as overpopulation and poverty, While the overt thesis is that Irish people should consider eating their children and selling them to rich Englishmen to solve the issue of poverty and overpopulation in the country. They differ form one another as one focuses on eating children, while the other focuses on giving commentary through the essay itself.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, America has had to deal with the on going
This satirical hyperbole fully entitled "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public" mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. A friend of the narrator’s, “a very worthy person,” has already heard the proposal and suggested that children of fourteen, too, be a potential food. The writer has dismissed this idea, though, because the flesh of fourteen-year-old boys is too lean, and fourteen-year-old girls might soon become breeders of infants themselves. He defends his friend, nevertheless, by saying that the friend learned of this practice in Asia among certain savage people.
Crime occurring on campus at The Ohio State University is taken extremely seriously by faculty, students, and parents alike. It is a sensitive issue with numerous different opinions on how it should be handled. Some people believe in knowing as much specific information as possible about the crime and suspect, while others believe the release of this information will just lead to witch hunts and may negatively affect some students due to a multitude of reasons including ethnicity, background, or race. My plan is to discuss these two points of view and some psychological evidence that supports both beliefs.
There will be a direct competition with a Nepali restaurant located in Moorhead Mall that sells momos. There will be a moderate competition with Chinese restaurants that sells dumplings.
I would arrange a meeting between my friend and the person in charge of purchases. In order for the restaurant to remain profitable, we would need to shop around to find the best price without sacrificing our standards. I would mention to both my friend and the purchasing manager about the issues I have heard with the customer service. I would first speak to my friend about the rumors prior to arranging a meeting. I would need to verify that if there was a defect with a machine that his company would stand behind their warranty. I also would speak to the purchasing manager to let him know about the rumors of poor customer service and the responses that my friend made in regard to those rumors. This would give the purchasing manager more information

Based on the article, An Algorithm to Predict a Bestseller, my prediction from the list of 10 novels which would make it to the bestseller is Commonwealth because the synopsis says that Ann Patchett “recalls elements of her own experiences as a child of divorce” and the algorithm “validated that topics grounded in reality are far more interesting to most readers than fantasy.”
When looking at Jetta’s extensive health background we can begin to see the evidence and correlation of stressors having impact on her physical as well emotional health. Addressing first of all her childhood and the early stresses that can correlate with some of her later experiences, we see the domestic abuse roller coaster within the first 7 years as being very impactful. Additionally, the shock of being removed from the environment and having to move created additional stress as the only consistency of a social support was lost by the move and transfer to a new school. In the new environment, the stressors continued as her stay at home mom transitioned
Multiple literary criticisms can be used to analyze Jonathan Swifts article, “A Modest Proposal”, such as the reader response, feminist and historical lenses he creates throughout his work. The reader response lens is crucial during this article. Swift states, “I calculate there may be about 200,000 couple whose wives are breeders…”(2) From a mothers perspective, reading this in 1729, any mother would be livid to be referred to as a ‘breeder’. The definition of breeder literally states, “an animal that breeds at a particular time or in a particular way.”
The psychological stressor that Ellen faces are that she is the guardian of her younger sister and is responsible for her sister's finances and medical decisions. Another stressor for Ellen is that her husband has been struggling with recurrent prostate cancer for the last 20 years and other chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia; making him suffer from slight activity intolerance and minor fatigue. So Ellen is the one that does all the household chores; that includes such things as cleaning, cooking, getting groceries and driving. Ellen does mention that sometimes she feels anxious, stressed and overwhelmed. She expresses that she copes with this stress by being active and spending as much
For all of time people comprised of evil ideologies have inhabited the earth, lurking in the shadows of the honest people in the world. Despite the suffering of others, power and personal gain is the ultimate goal of these corrupt human beings. Through the lens of new criticism, the two pieces of literature, Brave New World and “A Modest Proposal,” use literary devices such as imagery and diction in order to develop a theme which relates to this proposition that many human beings squander in the evils of the world because both stories deal with personal gain and power even if it calls for the suffering of others. While
