Rehabilitation and treatment of sexual offenders is an extremely important notion that every country and jurisdiction should possess if it is to reduce the number of these violent crimes in the society. The purpose of such programs is to provide meaningful sexual offenders treatment to all incarcerated offenders and in turn enhance public safety which results from offender evaluation and treatment. Typical program objectives comprise the following: To reduce further deviant behavior in sex offenders.

By positioning an obviously spurious myth at the structural opening of “Half and Half”, Tan gives her own text a false originary moment and thus further critiques the notion of origins. The duplicity of this opening structurally and symbolically undermines the text’ s status as an “immigration novel” that could somehow refer to and represent the “authentic” female immigrant experience. Rose Hsu Jordan defiantly labels herself an American when her mother objects to her dating Ted Jordan on the grounds that he is an American. The daughters manage to succeed somewhat in blending into the mainstream: they refuse to learn to speak Chinese; unlike thousands of other Asian Americans they…

I would like to start by saying that the play Hedda Gabler is one of Ibsen’s masterpieces that will be discussed in the essay. Using examples drawn from the play as well as knowing some facts about Ibsen’s life, I will argue that Ibsen is a feminist as can be understood from reading the text. One should remember that Ibsen lived most of his life in poverty and thus opposed the status quo of the modern society which besides separating the rich from the poor also had the rules for males and females established in the society. It was the rich of the society who did not want any changes…

The four themes that can be singled out in this article could be as follows: Basic notion of social work and workers Main types of social work The stages of different types of social work Capacities and skills necessary for social workers. The work of social workers consists first of all of values and principles the social workers live by. This is as well the source of their motivation. We should separate three fields where their social work is actually implemented: for individuals; for groups; for community.

Being a little frustrated by the lack of understanding and support for project management and taking into consideration the necessity to voice at my next PMI chapter meeting, I asked fellow members to consider organizations they had been working with in the past and dwell upon their views on project management. Here are some of their views. All the fellow members, regardless of the organizations or IT companies they worked for, think that project management is an essential part in the life of every person. Almost all non-recurring human activities can be called – a project (e.g.: we plan our careers and organize our everyday lives, we apply skills and…

The amount of young men and women who are dissatisfied with their bodies and which have distorted body image is great in the contemporary America, as evidenced by the recent research, conducted by Mintz & Kashubeck in 1999. Those researchers claim that the negative body image leads to the development of various eating disorders, such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia nervosa, and to excessive dieting and exercising that influences badly the health of the nation’s youth. The hypothesis exists that there are four key factors that influence the body image dissatisfaction in young adults and adolescents. Those are: self-esteem, family pressure, gender, and media influence. (Gleason, Alexander, & Somers, 2000;…

In this paper I’m going to investigate different approaches to the problem of civil religion. First of all, I’m going to look at Rousseau’s development of civil religion and Robert Bellah’s adaptation of the concept to the American context. For Rousseau, religion, namely a civil religion introduced by the Sovereign, is a mechanism of politics that serves a motivating purpose. Since people are often incapable of understanding the purpose of the law, there’s a clear and consistent need for civil religion. Rousseau (1800, p.332) writes that “it is of importance to the State that each citizen should have a religion requiring his devotion to duty; however, the dogmas of that…

The history of ancient China has always been a widespread subject to be portrayed within various directions of art. Sculpture, literature, painting, poetry, architecture, and many other arts employed this topic in different shapes and forms. However literature remains the best tool able to deeply and vividly portray ancient Chinese history considering all the aspects of that time and that place. Hence success of the authors that wrote books about life in ancient china. Jonathan Spence, well-known English writer, is one of the best authors who wrote historical books on China. Spence’s works won numerous prizes and awards. The reason for it was his degree in Chinese history. Being both…

Subculture is generally characterized by the specific religious, political and traditional features. One country or even region can number a lot of subcultures, which started their development on this territory because of the geographical position, historical and political peculiarities. Morocco is a great example of coexistence of different subcultures on the territory of one country. Moroccan culture contains Jewish, Arab, Berber, African and European subcultures. Such blend of culture couldn’t appear in one day, it had been forming through centuries and this process is still going on. A lot of scientists try to compare Moroccan culture with the cultures of Africa and countries of Middle East, it goes without saying…

It is fair to say that the religion of every particular person varies according to a large number of factors, from geographical situation and parents’ religion to the person’s own inclination and beliefs. We find the optimal religion to follow that is the closest to our soul and mind. Every human being may choose from a truly wide variety of religions that exist in the world. During last centuries the list of most popular and widespread religions did not change significantly. The top five of religious teachings contained the same religions over last thousand years. The third place in this list is by right occupied by Hinduism, an eastern religious…
