unknown, but behavioral therapy appears to be an effective treatment. Although considerable progress has been made in developing the construct of alexithymia, there are still unanswered questions that require further research to develop a complete understanding of the construct. The Construct of Alexithymia: A Thorough Definition, Potential Causes, and Treatment Options The term alexithymia was first used as a way to describe the inability of psychosomatic patients to express their emotions
prevalent understanding and explanations of many social differentiation processes including differentiation, rationalization, individualization, urbanization, and secularization for a long time. Hence, sociologists believed that the consequences of modernization were unavoidable and common destinations for modern or all modernizing societies.

sorting of themes to be inculcated in school. In a complete sense, it implies the full learning involvement of individuals, not only in schools but in the community as well. Wider contexts underpin the execution of curriculum and reflect on the development of its content. These contexts require many considerations if the curriculum is to be effectively implemented. Many explanations scaffold curriculum. Therefore, the very notion of curriculum is, at times, considered fragmentary, elusive and confusing
Throughout American history, racism has been a prominent problem. From the time of the country's founding, the people of the United States have dealt with religious persecution, race-based slavery, Jim Crow laws, border wars, and many more forms of discrimination. The minority population, or the non-white population, have been treated unfairly from the time our country was founded until current times. All of these misjudgments of minorities have left an impact on our history, but most importantly
Chronicle of a Death Foretold is about an affluent young man named Santiago Nasar, who is murdered by twin brothers, Pablo and Pedro Vicario. As evident as the community prepares for the bishop’s arrival, religion is intertwined in their culture.

Through a diverse array of courses that emphasized self-directed learning, I wrote papers on the history of cosmetic surgery, the euthanasia debate in Canada, the Red Queen hypothesis, and the prejudice faced by Roma in Eastern Europe. The breadth of coursework I undertook during my undergraduate education moulded me into an interdisciplinary
Social change and social function has actually been concentrated largely on equity problems, although their working meanings, both implicit and specific, mirror a spectrum of meanings varying from easy activism around race, gender, and poverty, to more nuanced understandings of the effect of modern technology advancements, range, globalization, along with the eco-friendly environment. Literature review The ideas of social justice as well as equity have actually been considerable in conversations
acceptable for parents to raise their children in gender neutral ways. As queer rights, feminist movements, and gender equality take on a greater social relevance, many caregivers no longer expect their children to behave stereotypically “masculine” or “feminine;” children may even be praised for going beyond their gendered expectations (e.g., boys who can cook well or girls who are fit and athletic). Raising your kids without expecting them to conform to gender norms may allow them to develop a broad potential
in nature and difficult to define and apply in practice. For the purposes of this paper, I do not wish to offer a defininitve definintion of the term, but instead offer an understanding of several key concepts which have particular salience for social work practice. Intersectionality can function both as a theory for understanding structural inequality but also as a paradigm through which to investigate these systems. Intersectionality scholarship has functioned primarily to highlight the complexity
The study was conducted with a 23 question questionnaire that asked about 15 stress elements as well as 18 other supporting elements. The purpose was to see what the primary stressors were as part of the moving experience and in turn what mechanisms were useful in dealing with the problem. Responses were given on a one to five scale with one being least stressful or supportive and 5 being the most stressful or supportive. Participants were also able to say if questions were irrelevant. The primary
