Book Club OctoberFinds In the event that you’ve been following our accounts on the Instagram, you will have seen us post about our book club a couple of times. As writing specialists, we’re continually on the chase for new and fascinating stories to peruse. That’s why five of us chose to make a book club where every week, we examine another short story, sonnet, or exposition. For the long stretch of October, we each picked frequenting short stories to get us in a creepy, Halloweeny soul. In the event that you’re searching for understanding suggestions, look no further! â€Å"Teatro Grottesco† by Thomas Ligotti Hailed by The Washington Post as â€Å"the trick of the trade in contemporary frightfulness fiction†, Thomas Ligotti apparently merits this title-in spite of the fact that Id lean toward it if more individuals read and talked about his work. Envision my satisfaction when our perusing bunch consented to peruse the nominal short story from his assortment Teatro Grottesco. â€Å"The first thing I learned was that nobody foresees the appearance of the Teatro.† We immediately understood that the other thing we were unable to foresee was the bearing our examination and conversation would take. Notwithstanding claims that Ligotti has the right to acquire the ghastliness mantle from Lovecraft, â€Å"Teatro Grottesco† goes significantly past vast loathsomeness and Eldritch hulks to pressure the limits of our convictions. The composing is artistic, complex, and drawing in it is additionally disappointing, heartless, and confusing. â€Å"In a word, I took pleasure in the illusion of the Teatro stories. Reality they conveyed, assuming any, was immaterial.† Toward the start, we discover that the storyteller, an author of skeptical exposition works, is sharing his own Teatro story. Things being what they are, what do we think about his cases that the Teatro stories are great however their realities are immaterial? In the event that reality of the story is nothing of substance, at that point what is where is the loathsomeness? Beyond a shadow of a doubt; a few scenes are legitimately upsetting, from an instinctive craftsmen painting a twilight night red to a picture takers dreamlike experience at the central command of T.G. Adventures. Be that as it may, the loathsomeness of these minutes just forms to the existential dread in the long run uncovered. â€Å"You can never foresee the Teatro-or whatever else. You can never recognize what you are drawing closer or what is drawing closer you.† We couldn't exactly finish up exactly what the Teatro really is. The story tempts, prods, and inconveniences. Peruse it cautiously, however realize that â€Å"The delicate dark stars have just started to fill the sky.† - Wes â€Å"The Yellow Sign† by Robert W. Chambers A short story in his bigger assortment The King in Yellow, I chose â€Å"The Yellow Sign† for us to peruse in light of the fact that I had recently perused an alternate story in Chambers’s assortment, â€Å"The Mask.† I particularly delighted in the traces of secret strung all through the piece. Chambers recounts to the story, however he doesn’t overtell-a strategy that kept every one of us pondering. â€Å"When I originally observed the guard his back was toward me.† In spite of the fact that he recounts to the story with a demeanor of puzzle that kept all of us speculating, we saw that Chambers would in general include a couple of such a large number of additional subtleties to his story. A few of us felt that these subtleties didn’t essentially add to the story and rather occupied from the â€Å"point† of the short story; this, thusly, prompted inquiries regarding what’s â€Å"necessary† in a short story and whether rules for composing are self-assertive, taking our conversation outside of the domain of the story itself. â€Å"I could tell more, yet I can't perceive what assist it with willing be to the world. With respect to me, I am past human assistance or hope.† â€Å"The Yellow Sign† by Robert W. Chambers is an incredible short story to peruse in the event that you need to examine signs and their place in narrating. - Kate â€Å"Bog Girl† by Karen Russell In the wake of talking with the prophets on what to peruse for example Googling â€Å"good creepy short stories for a book club†-I discovered this short story by Karen Russell, initially distributed in The New Yorker on June 20, 2016. I needed to pick a story by a female writer I realized nobody had perused at this point with, obviously, different strings of fascinating conversation to pull on. As I previously read the story (and what made me at last pick it), I was foreseeing what might occur straightaway and was correct, goodness, about 0% of the time. The account was completely unforeseen, and, when aggravated with the normal wordsmithing, I alloted it right away. â€Å"In the Iron Age, these swamps were gateways to far off universes, more out of control domains. Divine beings ventured to every part of the swamps. Divine beings wore crowns of brilliant asphodels, skimming over the purple heather. Presently modern collectors rode over the depleted marshes, brushing the earth into even geometries.† Our gathering especially delighted in the women's activist subjects and editorial on female bodies and individual organization just as the fascinating advances utilized by Russell. â€Å"The young ladies had coordinating snacks: lettuce servings of mixed greens, diet pieces of candy, diet shakes. They were all desirous of how little [the swamp girl] ate.† My preferred piece of the story is the means by which Russell presents Cillian’s Uncle Sean. I’ve since included â€Å"smearing† into my own vocabulary to depict such†¦ smearers. (You know the sort.) â€Å"He spread himself all through their home, his brew rings ghosting over surfaces like fat thumbs on a photo. His words stuck around, as well, leaving their mind stain on the air.† There are a ton of roads of conversation to take with this piece, and we could have effortlessly discussed it for a few additional hours. I don’t need to part with significantly more, yet this is an enthusiastically suggested, astounding, and popular piece for your next book club! - Sam â€Å"Winter† by Walter de la Mare Walter de la Mare is most popular as a productive writer, pundit, and anthologist who contributed generally to the universe of British letters in the mid twentieth century. His short stories, however only sometimes read today, remain among his best work. For our book club, I picked de la Mare’s 1922 story â€Å"Winter,† a scanty, confounding story about a man who strolls into a churchyard on a winter’s day and experiences something-or maybe somebody he can't clarify. Toward the beginning of the story, the storyteller reveals to us that â€Å"any occasion in this world-any person so far as that is concerned that appears to wear even the faintest cast or twist of abnormality, is well-suited to leave a lopsidedly sharp impact on one’s senses.† The story that follows is both an encounter with the uncanny and an examining of the brain. The storyteller continually questions his own faculties and instincts as he attempts to represent the unapproachable. Toward the finish of the story, the storyteller depicts the odd being: a wonderful, celestial figure â€Å"in human resemblance [but] not of my sort, nor of my reality.† The being glances in dread upon the storyteller and his human world-the churchyard loaded up with its landmarks of death-and vanishes, coming back to the truth whence it came. The storyteller is left with both a yearning to visit that domain and a profound sentiment of twisting, for the ethereal guest has uncovered the rips and frayed edges of our guide of the real world. In riddling, lovely expressions that gather like snow on a desolate field, de la Mare presents the best sort of heavenly story: one which lights up the secrets of our reality. An ideal read for the darkest period of the year. - Zack â€Å"Especially Heinous: 272 Views of Law Order SVU† via Carmen Maria Machado Each scholarly mailing list I’m on has been suggesting Machado’s assortment Her Body and Other Parties for a considerable length of time, so relegating â€Å"Especially Heinous† was a pompous method to incorporate individual perusing with work environment commitments. â€Å"Especially Heinous† is made out of scene synopses for 12 anecdotal periods of Law Order: SVU, going long from 4 to more than 150 words. Its sentences incline toward staccato rhythms and are objective-even clinical-as they portray occasions of silliness and ghastliness. For instance, a scene from season one: â€Å"Misleader†: Father Jones has never contacted a kid, yet when he shuts his eyes around evening time, he despite everything recollects his secondary school sweetheart: her delicate thighs, her lined hands, the manner in which she dropped off that rooftop like a hawk. Highlighted themes: sexual viciousness; fantasy tropes (here, a set of three of characteristics); a frightful picture offering neither setting nor judgment. (Father Jones returns in season three.) I’m not certain this was a story anybody cherished, yet it offered a great deal to talk about. The long winded structure left representations, and in some cases whole plot focuses, for the most part up to individual understanding, estranging some from the account. The objectivity of tone brought about a separated readership: a few perusers found a great deal of diversion in the explicit ludicrousness of Machado’s story (the word â€Å"whimsical† was utilized); for other people, that ridiculousness read as dull and foreboding, drawing in topics about social obsessions and sexual viciousness. While we all were keen on the story as an activity in structure, its prosperity as a story was still uncertain as we left the table. â€Å"Especially Heinous† is intriguing. It’s additionally hard (and for me, at any rate, sincerely debilitating) work. I need to return and read it once more, since I realize what I’m getting into, however book clubs, be cautioned: this is an unpleasant one to release on clueless associates. - Caitlin

Multiculturalism and Professionalism

The 2008 presidential race is the declaration of expanding multiculturalism in United States, first time throughout the entire existence of this incredible country a lady or an African American will be a genuine contender to be the Commander in Chief. The race in itself isn't a distortion or governmental policy regarding minorities in society yet a reflection how our general public is advancing. In the most recent registration in excess of 20 percent of American recognizes themselves under two diverse ethnic foundations. The nation is currently genuinely turning into the blend of world’s various societies. This expanding multiculturalism is no where more noticeable than American schools where the offspring of lion's share, second era of foreigners and different areas of the general public concentrating together and figuring out how to fabricate their own fantasy world in their own particular manners. The five most regular difficulties looked in a multi social condition are (Jeffrey Sanchez, 2005)† Managing assorted variety, settling social clashes, making a culture of incorporation, building cooperative efforts and bridling the benefits of contrasts. Overseeing Diversity †An educator must be skilled into overseeing decent variety and initial phase in overseeing it is getting assorted variety. For an educator to be fruitful he/she ought to know about subject he/she is instructing and information on subjects whom he/she is instructing. Information on subjects won't just assistance him/her in creating compassion with them yet in addition gives him/her a chance to advance him/her educating approach. Settling Cultural Conflicts †Number of times there are no wrongs or right, only the distinction of viewpoint because of social prepping of kids. In the event that the educator isn't furnished with the social prepping of youngsters, at that point he/she won’t have the option to mediate successfully and in this way neglect to take the entire class one way. Making a Culture of Inclusion †The best apparatus for overseeing assorted variety is making a culture of incorporation where understudies are urged to perceive the social contrast of one another and despite the fact that they may not concur with them yet open enough to comprehend that there is distinction, no prevalent or second rate esteems however simply various qualities. Building Team Spirit †An instructor need to have a decent information on group working as working in the groups understudies are destined to see each other contrasts better than simply giving them dossiers of data. Cooperating will help them in obliging every others point of view and how they can add to the given undertaking. Tackling the Advantages of Difference †Today from school, to clubs and corporate houses are on the whole endeavoring to accomplish assorted variety, the explanation behind it is the favorable circumstances different societies get. Groups with assorted individuals are better prepared at taking a gander at a similar issue from alternate point of view and these different viewpoints empower the group to think of different various arrangements. Stages a Teacher can take to make a Culture of Inclusion The instructor can find a way to make a culture of incorporation where no understudy feel estranged however rather feel invited and regarded (Karlfried, 1995) †Making a graphic correspondence plan for understudies, a great start could be different messages with same message. Besides the instructor ought not appoint work and duty on race or social speculations. Thirdly the educator ought to endeavor to build up an exhibition metric which is handily comprehended by the understudies and furthermore totally straightforward and reasonable for each area of the class. At long last instructors and understudies both be presented to multifaceted connection and workshops where they can comprehend the thought processes of social qualities as opposed to simply taking on them face. End Diverse comprehension and regard today isn't just significant for understudies yet in addition for instructors as they are the focal point of building tomorrow’s America where the current age of school will be leaders. Multiculturalism and polished skill needs to go inseparably as well as one needs to take care of the other. In the event that today’s school age has lesser issues with culturally diverse condition in school then it will have considerably lesser issues at work puts in future.

11 Ways to Deal With Depression Symptoms Without Drugs

11 Ways to Deal With Depression Symptoms Without Drugs For many people dealing with depression, prescription medications can be wonder drugs. Antidepressants, especially the newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac (fluoxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline) work all sorts of mood-lifting magic. They can have side effects, though, and theyre often theyre expensive, especially when health insurance coverage for mental illness is less than ideal. There are many ways to counter some of the symptoms of depression that dont involve prescription medications. If you have depression and would like to try handling it without drugs, or if youd like to supplement your antidepressant with other tactics, check out these alternatives and then talk to your doctor about which might make sense as part of your treatment regimen. Always take symptoms of depression seriously as depression doesnt just go away on its own. While there are many things you can do to support your mental health, dont try to just handle your symptoms alone. Talk to your doctor and discuss some of the self-help strategies that may support your treatment. Get More Sleep Sleep and mood go hand in hand. Get too little of the former and the latter is bound to flag (whether you have depression or not). Make sure you have what sleep experts call good sleep hygiene.?? This means you keep consistent bedtimes and wake-up times, your bedroom is set up for sound sleep (its dark, quiet, and uncluttered), you have a relaxing bedtime routine that doesnt involve sitting in front of a screen, and so on. The relationship between sleep and depression can be complex. Not only is poor sleep thought to contribute to the onset of depression, but depression may then cause low quality sleep. Whether you cant seem to get any sleep or cant seem to stop sleeping, there are steps you can take to try to improve the quality of your sleep. Have a consistent bedtime routine.Go to bed at the same time each night, and set an alarm so that you wake at the same time each morning.Give yourself a period to unwind before you go to bed; do something relaxing and avoid stressful tasks or thoughts.Turn off your devices and try reading a book for a few minutes. Also, try to spend a little time outside each day, even on days when you are tempted to draw the shades and hide indoors. Light plays an important role in regulating sleep cycles and circadian rhythms,?? so a lack of sunshine may be making it more difficult to sleep at night. Cut Back on Caffeine Coffee, tea, soda, and even chocolate are steeped in caffeine. Its fine to indulge in a reasonable amount of caffeine in the morning, but if you do, time your last hit of caffeine for no later than late afternoon so it doesnt interfere with sleep. If you do tend to rely on caffeine, try cutting back gradually in order to avoid unpleasant symptoms of caffeine withdrawal. Look for things you can replace your caffeine habit with. When you are craving a soda or cup of coffee, try going for a short walk around the block instead. What to Know About Caffeine Use Get More Vitamin D Theres some evidence that a deficiency of this important nutrient could play a role in depression.?? If you arent getting enough vitamin D through your diet and lifestyle (like sun exposure), ask your doctor if you should try taking a supplement. Certain nutrient deficiencies can play a role in depression symptoms. If you are having a difficult time spending enough time outdoors or if overcast weather conditions make it hard to get sunshine, a supplement may be useful. Go Natural For treating mild to moderate depression, dietary supplements such as St. Johns Wort, S-adenosylmethionine  (SAM-e),  and 5-Hydroxytryptophan  (5-HTP) may be worth a try.?? Research has shown that St. Johns wort is more effective than a placebo at relieving symptoms in those with mild-to-moderate depression.?? Be careful with these substances though: Dont take any of them without checking with your doctor first. Just because theyre available without a prescription and are touted as natural doesnt mean theyre always safe. For example, mixing St. Johns wort with an SSRI such as Prozac can lead to a complication called serotonin syndrome.?? Tap Your Spirituality No need to join a church, synagogue, or mosque (although certainly for many people dealing with depression, religion can be an impactful source of support). But simple daily practices such as meditation or adding to a list of things youre grateful can help boost mood and overall well-being. Meditation can have a range of beneficial effects such as lowering stress levels and helping people to become more aware of their thoughts and reactions. Research indicates that an intervention called mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with components of mindfulness meditation, can be helpful in treating depression and preventing future relapses of depressive symptoms.?? Studies also suggest that different types of mindfulness meditative practices can also be effective in the treatment of depression.?? There are many different types of meditation, but you can get started with a simple meditative exercise: Sit comfortablyClose your eyesBreath naturallyFocus on how your body feels while you breatheWhen your mind wanders, redirect attention back to your breathing 8 Meditation Techniques to Try Get More Exercise   This doesnt mean train for a marathon, but it does mean putting in a half-hour or so of low-intensity activity each day, which has been found to be effective in improving mood and quality of life.?? Even better, take it outdoors: Fresh air and sunshine are especially healing for folks dealing with a special form of depression known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). While research has shown that regular physical activity can be effective in both the prevention and treatment of depression,?? it can be hard to start an exercise habit when youre depressed. Lack of energy and low mood may mean that you simply feel too fatigued to get up and get active. Some things that you can try to stick to your habit: Start small. Try walking for just a few minutes each day, then work on gradually increasing your walks.Remind yourself of the benefits. Getting started is tough, but doing it is something that will help you feel better in the long-term.Enlist a friend. Ask a loved one to walk with you or do another form of exercise at least a few times a week. Having the support of a friend can not only help get you into a routine, but it can also help you maintain those social connections when you are feeling down. How Physical Exercise Benefits Mental Health Avoid Alcohol Alcohol in and of itself is a depressant. Oddly enough, drinking can interfere with sleep, and quality sleep is a key to battling the blues. While alcohol might seem like a quick fix to escape what you are feeling, it can actually make many of the symptoms of depression feel much worse.?? Not only that, but it can decrease inhibitions and potentially lead to risky behaviors and bad decisions that can have long-term consequences. If youre taking any sort of antidepressant, you really shouldnt drink at all: Alcohol doesnt interact well with medication. If you have been misusing alcohol or other substances and need help quitting, talk to your doctor. You may also have an alcohol or substance use disorder as well. Withdrawal symptoms may temporarily worsen symptoms of depression, so you may need extra assistance as you go through this process. How Substance Use Can Lead to Mood Disorders Eat  Good Mood Food What you put in your mouth can have a direct effect on how you think and feel. Make sure to eat a well-balanced diet, one thats rich in nutrients and low in saturated fat. A nutritionist or dietitian can help you analyze your eating habits and pinpoint potential nutrient deficiencies that could contribute to depression. Some foods that may be beneficial when you have depression: Probiotics: Research is increasingly pointing to a connection between gut and brain health.?? Foods high in probiotics include yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and kombucha.Fish: Research has found that people who ate a diet high in fish were less likely to have symptoms of depression.?? Fish are high in omega-3 fats, which play a role in helping neurotransmitters such as serotonin work in the brain.Nuts: Nuts are also a good source of omega-3 fats and one study indicated that people who ate walnuts were 26% less likely to have symptoms of depression.?? Foods to Help Fight Depression Change Your Thoughts Pollyanna-ish as it may sound, thinking good thoughts can help you feel good. Your thoughts truly do have a direct bearing on your mood. If youre struggling with negativity, consider seeing a therapist to help you learn ways to counter it. One of the most popular and effective treatments used in the treatment of depression is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).?? This form of psychotherapy focuses on identifying negative thinking patterns and then replacing them with more positive ones. Some ways that you can practice some of these ideas on your own. Learn to Recognize Negative Thinking Sometimes these thoughts can be obvious, such as times when you berate or criticize yourself. Other times, they can be more subtle. You might find yourself engaging in things like catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking. Catastrophizing involves always anticipating negative outcomes. All-or-nothing thinking means that you think of things as either successes or failures. Once you get better at recognizing these cognitive patterns, you can start working on some healthier replacements. Reframe Your Thoughts When you find yourself having a negative thought, consciously reframe it in a positive way. For example, you might replace something like This will never work with something more positive such as, Here are a few things that I can try that will help me get started. Shifting your focus to your strengths and abilities can help you maintain a more positive mindset. Tips for Changing Negative Thinking Get a Handle on Stress Stress can drive up levels of a brain chemical called cortisol, which has been found to be higher in folks with depression.?? There are lots of strategies for coping with stress, such as time management, meditation, and  biofeedback training. Some stress-relieving activities that you might want to incorporate into your daily life include: Exercise: Regular physical activity is a great way to blow off steam.Deep breathing: A few minutes to slow your breathing and focus your attention on your body in the moment can help you get a better handle on your worries.Progressive muscle relaxation: This process involves intentionally tightening muscles throughout the body, holding that tension for several counts, and then releasing that tension until the muscles are completely lax. With regular practice, you may be able to learn how to intentionally relax your body fairly quickly whenever you are feeling tense.?? Learning to manage your stress takes time and practice. Talk to your doctor or therapist about other strategies you might try to minimize the stress and your response to it. Stress Management Techniques for All Types of Stress Tend to Your Social Life When youre depressed, theres no reason to go it aloneâ€"and all sorts of reasons to reach out to friends and family. Make plans with loved ones and keep those dates. Join a club or sign up for a group activity such as a local dodgeball league, for example, or a French class. Other things you might try: Schedule activities. Having routines can be helpful when you are going through depression. Create a daily schedule that includes spending time with others. You are more likely to stick to it if its a scheduled event.Volunteer. Joining a cause that you care about is a great way to meet new people and expand your social circle.Join a support group. Talking to other people who are facing the same experiences and challenges can be informative and helpful. The Best Online Resources for Depression The problem is that depression often causes people to withdraw, which only further exacerbates feelings of isolation and loneliness. Even when you dont feel like going out or being social, try reaching out in whatever way is most comfortable for you. Enlist a few of your closes loved ones who understand what you are experiencing. Doing the things you used to do might not bring you quite the same enjoyment, but getting out of the house and spending time with people who care about you can help you feel better.

British Columbia Health Care System - 815 Words

At some point in time, we all have had a chance of sitting in a waiting room of an hospital.

The Knight Of The Sword - 968 Words

Even if Gawain is able to abstain from having sex with the daughter in â€Å"The Knight of the Sword†, it is only because his life is at risk, not because he is showing any sort of respect towards the young girl. Had the threat of the sword not been quite literally hanging over his head, Gawain would have indulged himself with the daughter, not just to satisfy his own sexual needs but also to preserve his reputation as a chivalrous knight. The language of his argument is also telling of what his reputation entails. Gawain’s greatest problem he sees it as his responsibility to â€Å"do something† to the young girl. However, although Gawain never truly inquires if the daughter would want to have sex with him, she does not seem unwilling. Rather, she insists that the pair do not have sex so that they knight will not be killed. After she warns Gawain of his father’s plot, she reveals her feelings towards Gawain, she stating, â€Å"Now you should be forewarned by me, for you are so courteous and wise that it would be a very great pity and it would grieve me ever afterwards if you were killed† (â€Å"The Knight† 116-117). Gawain’s knightly behavior saves him because the young girl is willing to risk disobeying her father to save Gawain.

Trinidad Education Free Essays

In Trinidad, The Ministry of Education has the policy of free education for all. They preach that this ‘free’ education is not based on class, wealth, race, gender or ethnicity but rather is a way to ensure that the entire nation is educated. Though these are the promises on Trinidad’s and Tobago’s Education Policy Paper, how is it that only nine of every one thousand people continue onto college, university or any higher education after secondary school? Twenty-one percent of Trinidadians live in poverty, which means that twenty-one percent of citizens do not have access to running water or proper health care. We will write a custom essay sample on Trinidad Education or any similar topic only for you Order Now Because of this, many children in these poor families immediately enter the world of work or become ‘beggars’ to help feed their family. This shows the importance of social class on the initial decision of whether a child will be educated or not. This is not common as only two percent of Trinidad’s population is illiterate. I would categorize myself in the middle to high status class in my country and this has, in many ways affected my educational opportunities. I lived in a town known as Diego Martin and though my neighborhood mostly consisted of people within my same social class, the town itself has many neighborhoods consisting of people living in poverty. Pre-school education is not considered by government policies and therefore, there are no public pre-schools and if a family wants to enroll their child in preschool they would have to do so privately and with their own money. This goes to show that the first level of education in Trinidad is in fact not free. Because of this, my parents enrolled me in a private pre-school, which would indeed have to be paid for with their own money. This shows the immediate impact that class has on one’s education from just the first steps. Pre-school in Trinidad usually takes about two years and here is where a child learns his numbers and letters and therefore these children living under the poverty line are somewhat ‘robbed’ of these essential learning years. After this, a child must then be signed up for primary school where he or he will spend the following seven years. There are two hundred and sixteen primary schools in the country, one hundred and sixty-three of which are funded by various religious institutions, thirty-two of which are funded by the government and therefore are completely free of charge, and twenty-one of which are privately run. I attended a privately run school as these had higher success rates in the SEA or Secondary Entrance Assessment examination that all primary school students are prepared for in order to gain placement in the school of one’s choice. Once again, though there is an availability of free primary level education, the members of the middle and higher social class send their children to privately run schools in order to ensure that teachers are constantly present and not on strike due to low government wages, and that their children receive a more well-rounded education as there are funds now for sports and other recreational activities. Personally, attending a private school made me not only feel safe, as there were not usually guards present in government funded institutions due to high cost, but to also gave me the opportunities to join different sporting teams and go on school ‘outings’ to various national attractions and the necessary preparation to gain a placement in the secondary school of my choice- the number one girls secondary school in Trinidad. The entrance examination is one aspect that I can truly say that had absolutely nothing to do with class, race or ethnicity as each student was given an identification number and placement into choice schools was done based on results. These secondary schools were again a seven-year course. Therefore, in total one should spend sixteen years at school in order to complete what is considered a general education but the average number of years spent at school in Trinidad is eleven. This means that the average student ‘drops out’ of secondary school after two years. As a female in the top all girls’ institution, I became very gender bias as my school continuously obtained the most government scholarships year after year. Not only that, but nationally women received a significant number of scholarships more than the men did. This may have wrongly shaped my idea that women are in fact smarter than men based on what I experienced at home. Tertiary education for many Trinidadians is extremely class bias. There is one university known as the University of the West Indies and though it is extremely renowned in engineering and mathematical studies it can only facilitate a very small percentage of graduates every year. Therefore, if one wishes to study, he or she may have to look at schools abroad which is a huge expense for any family. Studying in the United States has been a great privilege for me that would never have been possible if I belonged to a lower social class. Overall, my social status granted me opportunities unimaginable for many residents in my country. Despite government efforts to better the education levels of the country there is still a lot to be done in order to meet the goal that class does not determine one’s level or education.

This leaves the government with no choice but to make levy taxes on the imports for a variety of reasons which look justified or unjustified depending on the purpose it is meant to serve. The benefits accrued by the government levying taxes on goods entering its territory is to protect its territorial integrity where contraband products find their way into the economy thus causing security problems either health wise or proliferation of firearms from unknown sources. There are some developed countries that export products they consider obsolete to be used in the third world countries thus using them as their site for dumping unwanted products (Johnson Lee 110).

Social Security The United States of America being caring nation, from start after world war II decided to caution its senior citizen from the misery associated with retirement by incepting four major funds which were Federal Old Age and Survival Insurance Trust Fund established in 1940.
