one’s self-esteem and well-being. Proceeding the argument about self-disclose, Gonzales and Hancockput (2011) suggest that honest self-presentation is positively associated with well-being since most of people who engage in self-disclose are interested in creating and maintain social ties. A study suggests that by engaging in honest self-presentation, people increase their social perspective and wider their need of social support.

TWO COLORS ONE LAND “American Dream” is a taboo for many people from different nationalities who are pursuit of happiness. One of the former U.S presidents Bill Clinton defined American dream as; if ones do the best that they can, all the doors will open to them in order to reach happiness and to benefit from the opportunities. (Michael S., 2004) Throughout the world many people day dream to be a part of American dream one day. However the missing point which they do not know is that the…

One of the Greatest Long Term Trends How did the U.S. acquire the territory in question? In the Treaty of Paris (1783), America acquired the thirteen original British colonies and all land to the east of the Mississippi River. At the same time, the border area between Canada and the US was continually debated. This set the stage for a series of events that were used by the US government to acquire territory in different regions. ("History of the United States," 2010) This was accomplished through…

their piece, no matter how unpleasant that may be. Another very basic part of being American is the premise that all men are created equal. Still, how many times do we hear Americans say “get out of my country” to some one because of how they look or talk? I worked with an Arab-American man that came to America, became a citizen, started a family, and opened a business. He wanted the American dream in the land of opportunity and worked very hard to achieve it. He, like many others, believed America…

What is the worst possible thing that one human being can do to another? Take a moment and think about that before reading further. Jesus the Christ said that beyond loving God, the most important commandment was to love one 's neighbor wholeheartedly (Matthew 22:36-40). Other than hating God, the logical consequent of the previous statement affirms that the worst sin must be to hate one 's fellow man. Yet, is this not exactly what racism is; to hate another person for his skin color, something…

8 Secrets No One Tells You about Being an Expat I have lived in the center of Amsterdam, in the rainforest of Puerto Rico* and in my husband, David’s, hometown - a very small village outside of Barcelona. In total, I have lived (and worked) as an expat for over three years. In these experiences, I learned plenty.

Being The One Who Cares: A Good Teacher In order to be a good teacher I feel that one needs to be open and understanding of different events that might take place in the classroom. Students today are not treated the same as they were during the beginning of education and we have a variety of students which attend our public schools. There are girls, blacks, whites, Hispanic, and Native Americans and a number of other different races participating in our classroom studies. This is a wonderful…

him as a goddess as well. The divine family tree of Dionysus begins with Dionysus as a gender specific male. I merely argue that, perhaps it is not a question of gender, but of perception. In order to receive the full understanding of Dionysus, one must start at the very beginning of Dionysus's "divine story." Zeus and Persephone had a son, Dionysus. The Titans at the directions of Hera dismembered Dionysus, whom they had seen playing around the Heavens. Realizing what had happened, Zeus…
