Euthanasia
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page thesis driven paper which addresses the subject of euthanasia as is presented in one particular essay. The essay under examination is “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” written by James Rachels. The essay was very convincingly written and argued by Rachels, and the author clearly illustrated the many possibilities that are, or could be, involved in the decision to perform one or the other type of euthanasia. Although many feel it is morally wrong to commit active euthanasia, often it is a much more morally correct choice than passive euthanasia. Rachels argues this and this paper agrees.

[ send me this paper ]

"Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect" - Overview And Message
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The game of golf is fraught with more opportunities to fail than virtually any other sport. Coupled with the fact it is considered an independent activity despite being played with others makes golf a particularly valuable vehicle for improving one's character, patience and positive outlook. Through the eyes, ears and thoughts of some of history's most celebrated golfers, Rotella (1994) illustrates how every single shot made - or missed - evokes myriad emotions that ultimately help them better their respective games, a reality one can readily equate with the learning curve inherent to life and the ongoing quest for personal development.

"Invisibility" and Homosexuality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the phenomenon of becoming "invisible" as a means of dealing with societal prejudice. Examines the choice of some homosexuals to keep their homosexuality restrained. Concludes that invisibility only causes tremendous ambivalence and distress, and reiterates the contentions of the film "Torchsong Trilogy" that self-hatred is the greatest enemy of the gay world. Invisibility is as much victimization as is a hate crime which targets homosexuals. It is, however, a victimization in which the victim is also the perpetrator. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Normal" Personality
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The concept of normality is perhaps one of the most difficult to define in any capacity, yet it is even more challenging to characterize when the mind is involved. To be normal in the broadest sense is one who possesses "soundness of mind needed for a responsible, punishable act, one who is competent to make a contract, a sale or a will" (Binder, 1957, p. 132); in short, a normal person falls in line with the status quo of that particular society. However, this all-purpose definition fails to take into account the unique components of each and every person that can, in all truthfulness, categorize all human beings as abnormal to some extent. This reality is constantly challenging the psychiatric community to classify and reclassify what is considered normal in the capacity of treating patients and bearing witness to an offender's competence to stand trial.

"Pink Therapy"
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The fundamental importance of Davies and Neal's Pink Therapy is to illustrate how the culture of homosexuality is no different from any other cultural composition throughout the world, inasmuch as each global group must be appreciated and approached in a fitting manner when counseling is involved. Therapists do not interact the same way with proper British gentleman as they do a black urban youth, so it stands to reason why counseling gay, lesbian and bisexual populations are deserving of the same personal focus amidst a background of social stigma, isolating attitudes and harsh judgment.

A 7 page review of the book by Alan Cavaiola and Neil Lavender that provides information on how to deal with personality disorders in the workplace.

'Methods of Combating Scapegoating'/ Article Review
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay discussing the causes and 'cures' of scapegoating. It is essentially posited that those individuals who create a scapegoat to serve as the focus of their aggression, guilt, or fear are acting on the basis of needing to assign blame and vindicate themselves from any implication of wrong-doing or responsibility. Such ultimately self-defeating behavior is fundamentally a primitive reaction and reflects a certain level of blindly selfish avoidance of simple reality. No additional sources cited.
