Dr. Jones, a court-appointed psychiatrist, asks the two to write their life histories. Smith's is rambling and detailed, revealing more about his dreadful childhood; Hickock's is succinct and generic. Extensive, detailed psychiatric profiles of both killers, written by Dr. Jones, appear in full text. The two killers are not able to utilize the insanity plea to their benefit, because Kansas applies the M'Naughten Rule in its death penalty cases, which states that if the accused could distinguish right from wrong at the time of the crime, that person is legally sane. The two are ultimately found guilty at trial and given the death
In modern times the dove has many meanings, it can represent; the Holy Ghost, peace, and innocence. “There are also different meanings for different colored doves. Christ redeeming man with his blood is symbolized by the red dove. The diversity of the 12 prophets is symbolized by the speckled dove.” (Parsons, 2011) In “Gregory the Great and Three Scribes” the write dove is used to represent the Holy Spirit. This was important as it taught that the text written by St Gregory was inspired by God.
In the Story of Tom Brennan by JC Burke, Tom’s story is told where he changes mentally to cope with the tragic accident and consequences of his brother Daniel going to jail. In the novel metaphors are used to reinforce the main change in Tom’s life after his brother is involved with the car accident. On page 76 of the novel as Tom bangs his head against the mirror in frustration for what has happened he says to himself “Thanks to Fin we thought we’d escaped sudden death. But we were wrong; instead we’d walked into it”. This metaphor
She developed on Bowlby’s IWM theory by looking at the individual differences on types of attachments that may be formed to the primary care-giver. Ainsworth looked at children’s behaviour during separation from their mothers, beginning in Uganda and a later study in the US Ainsworth developed the strange situation experiment as a standard test to measure attachment in children (Oates, 2005). From her results she discovered three main times of attachment. Secure, insecure (split into sub-categories) and absent (Oates, 2005). The way in which the child behaves during the strange situation is determined by the behaviour the care giver presents to the child.
Because fertilisation in humans is internal, the female is always certain that she is the mother of her child. The male, on the other hand, must always have some degree of parental uncertainty; this is known as cuckoldry. Males are under pressure to protect themselves from investing in a child who is not genetically their own, and thus may be more reluctant to invest heavily in the child. The possibility of sexual infidelity posed different adaptive problems for males and females. A man whose mate was unfaithful risked investing in offspring who were not his own, while a woman with an unfaithful mate risked the diversion of resources away from her & her children.
One of the first similarities between two of the texts, is the perceptible barriers that the ‘falling in love’ creates, barriers are built in great contrast to one another, and these come across as impossible to destroy. “His name is Romeo, and a Montague; The only son of your great enemy.” A barrier is built by the two families ongoing feud between one another, in which they do all they can, to protect ones maiden name. It is first brought about in the prologue, “and the continuance of their parents’ rage” highlights the foremost hurdle they encounter, its initial intention is to separate their togetherness and never let it merge into a “new mutiny” but in actual fact it brings them closer together. This creates the sort of scenario of ‘not being allowed to have something, increases you’re covet for that thing’ be it love or even a symbolic item, like say, an onion maybe... Juliet reacts in a way that she expresses her anger and frustration at this barrier of hatred, which is held together by the concrete family name “My only love sprung by my only hate” It weakens her mentally, knowing that she feels for the man so deeply, the man that “If they do see thee, they will murder thee” Her hearts love and desire for Romeo has only strengthened “Prodigious birth of love it is to me” yet the barrier still stands. This makes her more vulnerable to being hurt but only motivates her further, to bulldoze the barricade down as if it is her heart that is controlling her mind, rather than hear actual intellect controlling her mentality, this foreshadows and explains future tragic events which occur ever so wretchedly.
The Parent Trap: Two Viewpoints on Co-Parenting Parenting is as immense and complex an undertaking as imaginable. Children bring an entirely new experience to an existing relationship, sometimes this change is for the better and sometimes for the worse. We are given examples from two perspectives of the stress that child rearing can bring to a couple in the “The Myth of Co-Parenting” and “My Problem with Her Anger”. Hope Edelman in “The Myth of Co-Parenting” recounts her story of being single-handedly mother and father to her children while her husband was busy building a company. On the other side is Eric Bartels who, in his article “My Problem with Her Anger”, describes the hostile nature of the relationship that he has with his wife since the birth of their children However the authors may differ they do touch on similar topics throughout the articles.
Resolving this conflict leads to gender identity. The Oedipus complex is when a boy wants to possess his mother because she met all his needs, but this rests on castration anxiety, as he believes his father will castrate him. The Electra complex for girls is that girls are envious of males because of their penis, and girls identify with their mother because they are similar (penis envy). Successful resolutions of these complexes lead to identification with the same sex parent, and then gender is
Vickie Griffin Robert Sneed Psychology 41 08 September 2010 Spanking Is O.K. Anna Freud states “ the younger the child…. The stronger is his need to experience his/her parents as his lawgivers---safe, reliable, all powerful, and independent.” John Rosemond Ph. D. states “that a child should be spanked only as a way to provide immediate halt to an unacceptable behavior. He offer the analogy that one, quick, open handed slap to the clothed bottom of a child is no more abusive than sending a child to his/ her room.
Alfred Hitchcock’s first color feature film, Rope (1948) is based on Patrick Hamilton’s play Rope’s End (1929), which heavily draws influence from the real life Chicago Leopold-Loeb murder of fourteen-year-old, Bobby Franks in 1924. The film, however, examines the overall idea of sociopathic tendencies, more specifically through the actions of the homosexual couple Phillip (Farley Granger) and Brandon (John Dall) as a means to create tension in both the mind of the viewer and also between our two protagonists. In examining the psychological tension between Phillip and Brandon, Rope utilizes numerous techniques via symbolism through the films’ mise-en-scene as a means to create various emotions in the mind of the viewer. In doing so, the viewer is manipulated by the films’ two protagonists in the same manner as the party guests are. The film begins with a quick pullback from a close-up shot of Phillip and Brandon strangling their old prep school classmate, David (Dick Hogan) with a piece of rope, the item from which the movie gets its’ title from, as a sort of experiment.
