In Thomas King’s “Borders” The story shows proudness of citizenship and it portrays where you are from is a huge part of who you are. The three arguments that I will argue to prove this thesis is that the mother is proud that she is a Blackfoot, It is rare and improbable for a young women to leave the reserve, and that the mother dislikes the Americans because she was proud of her own people.

In today’s psychology profession, a therapist and even the client can cross many boundaries if immediate boundaries are not put into place during the initial visit. Some boundaries that are crossed are not a problem at first and then the problem progresses. Leonard L. Glass called these, “the gray areas of boundary crossing and violation” (429). However, there is further description, “Boundary issues mostly refer to the therapist's self-disclosure, touch, an exchange of gifts, bartering and fees, length and location of sessions and contact outside the office” (Guthiel & Gabbard). This statement by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D. & Glen O. Gabbard, M.D explains the meaning of boundary

In fictional literature, authors use a variation of different types of characters to make their stories progress. Different types of characters fulfill different roles in the story, and can be defined by the characteristics they contain. Throughout a story, a reader will witness round, dynamic characters who are well-developed, complex, and change during the course of a story. A reader will also come across characters that will remain essentially unchanged, and even stereotypical, referred to as flat, static characters. Conflict in a story usually assists a character in their development. Although Laetitia from “Borders” and Piquette from “The Loons” both face conflicts with Native and non-Native culture, only Laetitia develops as a round, dynamic character as a result of her experiences, while Piquette remains essentially unchanged.

This encourages the dominance of extreme interests [and] outcomes that civic engagement seeks to avoid” (Civic Engagement, 2018). By volunteering and demonstrating philanthropism, individuals gain influence over others who recognize their work. As such, the act of volunteering must avoid being contorted from an act of good will to an act of

We worked in collaboration with others and made agreements. Agreements set boundaries. As with any professional relationship, the setting of (contract) boundaries is important. Boundaries have enabled me to switch off my phone before PPD seminars. At my workplace, I have learnt that boundaries enable my relationship with clients to be limited to that setting and all social contact between me and the clients should be avoided. Also as a care worker, I should never accept a client as a friend or enter into a sexual relationship with a current or former client. Boundaries are an important and crucial aspect of an effective client-counsellor relationship. Boundaries’ set the structure for my relationship with others and provide a consistent framework

Now having read all of Zone One by Colson Whitehead, I learned that coming together as one hand is not always the right thing to do. This is appalling to me because I would have never agreed to such a statement prior to reading the book. Nonetheless, Whitehead opened my eyes to the concept of individuality through Mark Spitz on a deeper level. Now although, Spitz did not go against the main goal of getting rid of the undead, he preferred to be on his own, reviewing his own mind and memories, along with the other two characters in his sweeper unit. Another key point that I learned from the book is that the main character does not have to be the center of the book, the hero or the anti-hero. This is goes hand in hand with our discussions about the way the novel was written. The lines of this book are not meant to be read, but rather what is between the lines. The main question the reading evokes is what is really going on is Spitz’ head? It was difficult to

I’ll be honest: I’ve had a pretty good life. I’ve had loving parents, who immigrated to the United States so I could have a better future. I’ve had great teachers, who helped me carve an individualized path through school. I’ve had amazing friends, who pushed me to better myself. Yet, these comforts made me recognize the profound importance of service. While I’ve been lucky to receive these gifts from generous donors, it’s precisely by having these opportunities that I know what others don’t have.

There has been boundaries between different lands for many of years. The land that has been boundary can be as different from two different land lords all the way too two different countries or kingdoms. Humans are not the only ones who creat these boundaries, fish and other reptiles are also known to create boundaries. Boundaries can be shown in three ways. There is the corner monuments that can be physically found on the property while there are also just written boundaries where a surgery will in detail write down the property lines. Then there is by the law where just a common understanding of where the location is. There are also 10 principles to understand when it come to boundaries and surveying them to help us understand how it stands. These boundaries have caused conflicted in many counties such as in America and in England, and also many people have died because of them. Boundaries are taking to a literal point where one believes if they are on one side of the line they believe in one way while on the other the believe in another way. Like in the book the example was a bar on the Canadian and American border where in Canadian they would serve at anytime but on the American side they would not serve on Sunday or after midnight. This goes to show how literal people take the knowledge of the boundaries

Crossing boundaries is needed but the full potential is never achieved.
