Does Childhood Incest Impair Identity Formation in Women? Yvonne E. Fernandez Pacific Oaks College HD541-1P / Professor Greer-Jarman April 25, 2012 Abstract This paper reviews research on the long-term effects of child incest trauma in women to determine its impact on identity formation. When incest occurs during latency, the effects of the derailment of current and subsequent developmental stages reverberate through the life of the child, negatively impacting the identity and personality of the adult.

Discuss the ways in which feminist theories have informed a contemporary understanding of media and gender. Consider at least two feminist perspectives in your answer. This essay will analyse various feminist media theories and explore their relevance with regard to our understanding and interpretation of contemporary media texts. Feminist media theories generally regard the media as being male dominated and examine gender inequality and its effects on media content and representation, “emphasising the important role of women in the media and the role of women in defining reality through media content” (Fourie, P. 2001). The development of feminism over time has seen many different feminist perspectives emerge such as liberal feminism, conservative feminism, radical feminism, socialist feminism, black feminism and lesbian feminism.
The persuasive strategy being discussed in this essay comes from the Greek philosopher Aristotle and is used in all three speeches. Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle divides persuasion into three categories called: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Ethos is used to create a credible or ethical appeal to the audience and attempts to convince them that the speakers’ character is likable and respected. Logos is used to create a logical appeal to the audience and persuades them by avoiding false statements and uses reasoning to support and substantiate their ideas. Pathos is used to creates emotional appeals in the audience using language to assist in enhancing their arguments and evoking emotional responses.
To quantify the results of the survey, I carried out a performance review on myself. I did this in the form of a SWOT analysis. In the analysis, I looked at my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities to improve my communication skills and any barriers (threats) to my effective communication. The main area of improvement required was in my active listening skills, as I found through my own analysis, that I often form my next question before the speaker has finished speaking. Active listening can be defined as; (University of Colorado) ‘Active listening is a way of listening and responding to another person that improves mutual understanding.
In this essay I will discuss four different classifications of justice that are proposed by Socrates’ interlocutors, Cephalus, Polemarchus, and Thrasymachus, as well as his rebuttal to each of their proclamations. A final section of this paper will be dedicated to how Polermachus’s outlook on justice, which is doing good to one’s friends and harm to one’s enemies, can most effectively be defended against Socrates’s response that it is unjust to harm anyone. This is because of Socrates’s inadequate dismissal of Polemarchus’s claim. Socrates offers an unclear definition of what causing harm is. Therefore, it can be presumed that specific types of harm such as constructive criticism and disciplinary punishment are deemed unjust when they actually can be efficient instruments in the formation of a just human being.
It will just provide a better future for our economy and would make a bigger impact. Although, voting at the age of 16 would seem like a better idea on a historical and cultural point of view. At the age of 21, the human brain has almost fully developed to where humans see the world in other people’s eyes. I’m not saying 16 year olds already do not do that, I am stating that a lot
