I Never Sang for My Father – Family Therapy

Tom Garrison was a city hall leader of a modest community in Westchester County and exceptionally regarded by the network however most didn't realize that he was inaccessible, cold and egocentric with his family. He had a negative relationship with his own dad and glorified his mom. He drove his little girl away when she chose to wed a Jew, and estranged his child with his egocentricity, custom narrating and possessiveness. Tom has a past filled with being oppressive toward his kids, as Alice portrayed to Gene, â€Å"he beat you when you were a child. You've despised and dreaded him all your grown-up life. † Even Margaret concedes that she experienced disregard her better half. Tom's conduct causes trouble shaping cozy associations with his family, and his stressed relationship with his child tops after his better half passes on. Neither of them realize what to manage without her and they begin to contend once more. He shows two distinct sides of himself to the world and his family. His history appears to have affected the manner in which he cooperates with his relatives. He was far off from his dad and is rehashing that design with his own better half and youngsters. He keeps up good ways from them and empowers the triangulation between his him, his significant other, and his child, since it feels more secure for him. He is likewise triangulated with the TV. While he battled during his youth, he had become fruitful and all around regarded as a grown-up. During the film he expressed â€Å"early in life I built up a will of iron,† however Tom utilized that equivalent â€Å"will of iron† to bring up and control his kids, and even drove away his own little girl since he would not acknowledge her decision of a spouse since he was Jewish. The fundamental clashes inside the family are that everybody fears Tom and that he drives everybody away by customarily recounting to similar stories, gloating about his prosperity, and demonstrating practically zero enthusiasm for his significant other and youngsters. His requesting techniques and far off feelings keep him and his developed kids from having the option to cherish and speak with one another. The triangulated relationship starts to become apparent when Tom and Gene were in the carport and Tom clarified that he got Gene's letters from California. Quality's letters set off Tom's tension about him moving ceaselessly, so he converses with Gene about his mom, attempting to transmit the uneasiness onto his mom's wellbeing and Tom not having the option to think about her in Gene's nonattendance. If you somehow happened to go out there, I intend to live, it would murder your mom. God, you know you're her entire life† he said. He offers no expression about what impact it would have on him if Gene moved to California. Tom strengthens Gene as his mom's enthusiastic life saver since he is far off from both Tom and Margaret and can just work with the other two individuals by getting a subsequent individual. When Gene addressed his mom about it, she affirmed the triangulation and asked him â€Å"why doesn't your dad simply concede that it would disturb him? † In the event that I had this family in treatment, I would begin with making a genogram, in light of the fact that I feel that is the least meddlesome approach to get an all encompassing image of the family and assist me with comprehension multigenerational designs. I would attempt to join the family by posing inquiries to get everybody ready, for example, â€Å"Do you need to keep on responding to him in manners that prop struggle up, or would you rather feel more accountable for your life? † to help fabricate a situation helpful for development and change, and ask the family to pretend so I could see and mediate with how they communicate with each other. On the off chance that the spouse was as yet alive, the objective is bring the couple into a closer relationship to keep the triangulation from proceeding. On the off chance that the spouse had just passed, at that point the objective is help the staying three in the family talk about the job of the mother and concoct decides for limits with the goal that desires could be clear and they would have a superior comprehension of themselves. Toward the finish of the film Gene and Tom's relationship was extremely stressed, in light of the fact that they didn't have the help of the mother any longer and they were left to manage their relationship with one another as it seemed to be, without her assistance. At the point when Gene requested that Tom move with him to California, Tom lost control, appearing to feel like â€Å"No one thinks about me, I'm only the lucrative machine. † He would not go and felt relinquished that Gene had even inquired. On the off chance that Tom had changed his reaction to Gene's proposition to move to California then it could have genuinely affected the fate of the family since Tom and Gene didn't talk particularly until he kicked the bucket. Tom could have requested that Gene reveal to him increasingly about it, to welcome a discussion, instead of to get Gene's recommendation as an assault toward his quality as a dad. Or on the other hand if Tom considered his to be's greeting as signal of friendship and had thought about moving to California, the nature of their relationship would have likely improved. The story â€Å"I Never Sang For My Father† was contacting and effortlessly customized. Most families experience issues attempting to accomplish or keep up a grown-up relationship with one's folks. The relationship parent-youngster changes when the kid develops into a grown-up and the kid feels progressively enabled. Tom didn't engage the possibility of Gene feeling progressively enabled as a grown-up, he rewarded him increasingly like a kid since it helped his sense of self. I felt furious at the dad, considering him to be unthinkable, oblivious, and difficult, yet it's significant for me to take note of that it's basic that I'm mindful that is my supposition dependent on projection from past encounters, and that some may lose control with the child for not defying his dad sooner. Remembering these inclinations is useful with the goal that I stay nonpartisan during family treatment and I take a gander at the family from a frameworks point of view, not a â€Å"he's privilege and she's wrong† viewpoint. I reverberate with this story since I'm a lone kid and I was triangulated with my folks for some time before my father died. My father needed to be the hero, so he would consistently go up to my mother to advise her to admonish me for accomplishing something, losing something, or anything. This was on the grounds that my dad didn't have a sense of safety enough in himself to have the option to chide me and realize that we would even now have a strong relationship. So as to compensate for his impairment of not having the option to give me guidelines, he had my mother step in, who was eager to be â€Å"the terrible guy,† and had her reprimand me for him. At long last, he required my mother to assist him with speaking with me since he had relied upon her for to such an extent. This makes me consider how Gene's mom was the scaffold among Gene and his dad, and when she kicked the bucket they were left with the relationship that they had. Luckily, in my family community triangulation, my mom and I had a progressively strong relationship and could discuss things. This makes me consider my future with my life partner. What stuff will I convey with me from my family life? What will I likely triangulate for? I like to state that I have great correspondence and I don't see motivation to triangulate, yet I don't trust myself since I imagine that the issue doesn't need to be enormous with the goal for triangulation to show. In the wake of watching this film, I felt like family treatment resembles an outlandish accomplishment. I understood what number of eyes are on all of you when you're in meeting with a family. I envision that those with social nervousness issue or specialists who will in general be increasingly thoughtful don't particularly like gathering treatment or family treatment. On the off chance that there is one thing that I detract from this class, it's that everything occurs for an explanation in a family. Everything shows for a reason, to serve some capacity in the family.

Mandated Failures - Literature Essay Samples

In a society where the purity of fact is venerated largely by the vilification of bias, and subsequently defended by the equation of bias with fiction and fiction with falsehood, the attention of an audience is held only through a taxing balance of entertainment with impartial fact. In considering this precarious situation for authors and speakers, Michelle Alexander’s comprehensive treatise on the current system of mass incarceration in the United States becomes only more impressive. In The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, Alexander conducts an ominous fanfare for the abominable state of the United States criminal justice system, seamlessly weaving together ethnographic and criminal research literature, anecdote, and social commentary from experts in a variety of fields to reveal a wretched landscape of discrimination spurred by â€Å"racial indifference† (203). The text is an overwhelming success, and undoubtedly convinces readers of the dire state of racial bias in the criminal justice system. Yet tragically, the triumphs of Alexander’s argumentation are in contrast with the way in which the text relates its implications to its title, and the realities of mass incarceration to the alias of â€Å"The New Jim Crow†; the techniques employed by Alexander to effect a cutting analysis of the United States criminal justice system are not applied as effectively to the text’s advertised claim. Undoubtedly, the criminal justice system’s true accomplishment is revealed to be the â€Å"round up, arrest and imprison[ment of] an extraordinary number of black and brown men† (17). In order to convey this understanding in a way that is both enlightening and engaging, Alexander infuses narrative prose into analyses of statistical research and of historical events. Throughout the text, Alexander employs statistics to provide irrefutable evidence of rampant racial inequalities in the criminal justice system, citing concise and damning findings such as â€Å"Although the majority of illegal drug users and dealers nationwide are white, three-fourths of all people imprisoned for drug offenses have been black or Latino† (98). Yet beyond the data itself, the specific format in which these statistics are presented is crucial: Alexander reserves space in the text for only the most necessary information; an annotated bibliography is linked to the text by footnotes. This formatting tack frees Alexander of complex statistical analysis, thereby allowing for a prose and pace more similar to that of a narrative than that of a research paper. Alexander further embraces narrative-based analysis in the context of historical review. In Chapter One, which â€Å"reviews the history of racialized social control in the United States† (16), the circumstances of slavery and later of Jim Crow are discussed in detail, and the chapter traces their place in American history as a progression of social and political phenomena, rather than as a collection of trends in statistics. With eloquent narration rather than dry lecture, Alexander describes how â€Å"indentured servitude [as] the dominant means of securing cheap labor† (23) gave way to a â€Å"notion of white supremacy [that] rationalized the enslavement of Africans, even as whites endeavored to form a new nation based on the ideals of equality, liberty, and justice for all† (25), and thus pr ovides readers with a more compelling image of social shift. In Chapter Three, which examines â€Å"how the legal rules that structure the [criminal justice] system guarantee discriminatory results† (17), Supreme Court verdicts that erode Constitutional â€Å"protections once deemed inviolate† are recounted one after another as serialized episodes (232). To introduce McCleskey v. Kemp, Alexander recalls â€Å"1987, when media hysteria regarding black drug crime was at fever pitch and the evening news was saturated with images of black criminals shackled in courtrooms† (109); Armstrong v. United States: how â€Å"[Christopher Armstrong] â€Å"was staying at a Los Angeles motel in April 1992 when federal and state agents on a joint drug crime task force raided their room and arrested them on federal drug charges† (115), and thus subjected to â€Å"[federal crack cocaine laws that were] selectively enforced in a racially discriminatory manner† (116). The narrative context provided for these landmark Supreme Court cases serves to humanize the parties involved: plaintiff, defendant, judge, and jury. In reminding readers that legal precedents, like all historical events, have a basis in the lives of the individuals involved, Alexander captivates readers with legal analysis disguised as the ethical dilemmas of narrative. By integrating historical references and statistical evidence seamlessly into the text, Alexander allows The New Jim Crow to maintain an engaging, yet intensely informative prose, thus retaining the attention of the reader without sacrificing argumentative substance. In maintaining a predominantly narrative prose, Alexander succeeds in gripping readers for the length of each of the text’s smaller sections; to pull readers between sections and through the entire book, Alexander expertly employs an overarching structure by piquing readers’ curiosity. In the Introduction, Alexander quickly disowns the pleasantries of empathetic skepticism, and forces readers to leave their preconceptions behind, moving briskly from â€Å"Never did I seriously consider the possibility that a new racial caste system was operating in this country† (3) to â€Å"all those who care about social justice should fully commit themselves to dismantling this new racial caste system† (11). The tone of the Introduction predominantly resembles this second statement, bearing unexpected finality, rather than hospitality, and taking many of its claims as already established: the text’s early statements immerse the reader in a new reality without pro viding much explanation, in which mass incarceration is immutably The New Jim Crow. The author thus propels readers forward by exploiting their curiosity: readers are driven through the remainder of the text on a mission to clarify and explore the landscape into which they have been forcibly placed. Alexander begins her description of this landscape by outlining the independent structures that together compose mass incarceration; these components, being legislative action, legal precedent, and sociopolitical phenomena, are examined as separate parts in Chapter One through Chapter Four. Having been immersed into the reality Alexander puts on display and subsequently presented with that reality’s component parts, readers are prompted to formulate their own sinister image of mass incarceration, an image that is as daunting as it is amorphous. It is to disperse the ambiguities she has manufactured that Alexander then provides Chapter Five, which concerns the â€Å"similarities b etween Jim Crow and mass incarceration† (191), confirming readers’ fears by providing at last a formal thread that binds the components of mass incarceration together. By disorienting readers with a new reality at the outset of the text, and acquainting readers with their new surroundings only gradually, Alexander infiltrates the mind of the audience, prompting readers to compose the author’s alarming portrait of the criminal justice system on their own. This mechanism is particularly useful for the race-centric discussions of The New Jim Crow, as analyses of race issues could alienate audience members if links between evidence and conclusions were presented to the audience rather than proposed by the audience itself. Immediately immersing readers, and only later acquainting them with their surroundings, the progression of focus in The New Jim Crow ensures that the conclusions to be drawn are convincing, as such conclusions are first conceived by readers themselv es. The New Jim Crow indeed succeeds in its implicit pursuit: the text successfully illuminates the disastrous results of a criminal justice system that has been corrupted by racial bias, and stirs readers to rail against the status quo of race relations in the United States. However, while the text’s implicit purpose is fulfilled by its prudent overarching structure, its nominal claim is rendered weak by a lack of consistency in the minutia of semantics and terminology. Throughout the text, the criminal justice system is purported not only to be a corrupted arm of United States public policy, but a system of social control whose injustices are equivalent to those of Jim Crow’s formalized segregation. To underscore this further contention, Alexander treats â€Å"The New Jim Crow† as interchangeable with â€Å"mass incarceration† long before she compares the similarities of the two institutions. The author describes that beginning with the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, â€Å"mass incarceration of communities of color was explained in race-neutral terms, an adaptation to the needs and demands of the current political climate. The New Jim Crow was born† (58); the label of â€Å"The New Jim Crow† is applied not because mass incarceration bears analogous mechanics, but merely because mass incarceration is the heir to the throne of oppression of its predecessor of twenty years prior. It is not until Chapter Five when this parity is clarified, and even then, a linchpin for the direct equation of Jim Crow with mass incarceration remains absent. Instead of bolstering her pervasive claim, Alexander seems to recant, stating that â€Å"Those who claim that mass incarceration is ‘just like’ Jim Crow make a serious mistake† (203). When Alexander at last finds â€Å"racial indifference† guilty of creating the proclaimed â€Å"system of racialized social control†, she has already shed the mantle of argument ation (231-232): Chapter Six has already transitioned from analyzing the problem of mass incarceration towards attempting to solve it. The long-awaited coronation of mass incarceration as â€Å"The New Jim Crow† is eventually observed, but goes largely unheralded in the grander scale of the text’s commentary. Thus, The New Jim Crow’s title is to be understood not as a representation of the text’s intent, but rather as a device to draw readers from one cover to the other: an entrance to a labyrinth with stirring scenery but without the advertised reward at its exit. By the title of The New Jim Crow, Alexander seems to have placed herself in a position not unlike that which she describes in Chapter Three: forced (although by self-imposed restriction) to pursue a severe claim, Alexander is faced with a burden of proof impossibly large. Yet in contrast with so many of the Supreme Court cases she identifies, Alexander, in her own pursuit of the impossible, has achieved something great: a work that convinces readers that severe injustices in the criminal justice system are experienced by black and brown Americans at grossly disproportionate rates, and challenges readers to resist comfortable explanations for why such disparities exist. That the text strays from justification for its very title is wholly permissible, as the revelations of The New Jim Crow demand outcry regardless of their epithet: a thorn by any other name would cut as deep.

Terrorism And Terrorist Organizations Across Different...

The topic that our group decided to choose was terrorism because of the huge impact it has on the society we live in today. With the recent attacks in Paris, terrorism as a whole needs to be discussed. The specific section on terrorism that was given to me included different terrorist groups abroad. There are endless terrorist organization in numerous countries that would take hours to discuss all, but this will discuss the top four most known and deadliest terrorist organizations across different continents. What will be discussed is how the organization operates, the leadership, religious beliefs, and the goal of the organization. The first terrorist group which is infamously known across the world is Al-Qaeda. Created in 1988 under the†¦show more content†¦Extreme growth and improvement after the attacks made the organization exploded in size over many countries, including Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, and Syria. But at the same time United States declared war against terrorism and deployed troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. The air assaults and ground troops slowly but surely reading territory from the terrorist organizations and tried to put the government back on their feet. United States and the allies donated billions of dollars to try to help rebuild the country supplying them with firearms, ammunition, and training. On paper this seemed to work perfectly, but in reality the ten year struggle solves almost nothing. The terrorists went into hiding and it took twelve years to find Osama bin Laden. Where did the United States find this exclusive terrorist leader? They found him at his house, a compound in Pakistan. Seal team six with approximately twenty highly skilled personnel infiltrated the compound and eliminated the leader of the most known terroristic group. After this huge hit to the leadership of the organization, the Al-Qaeda laid low. Instead of doing terrorist attacks, they funded and trained other organizations to commit the acts that they couldn t do at the time. Since they owned thousands of oil rigs there was a consistent income for their twisted beliefs. The organization that Al-Qaeda turned to during their time of despair was the

Smartphone Security Essay Example For Students

Smartphone Security Essay Security Issues in Smartphone Markets Are you buzzing about the new Verizon Blackberry Storm or the T Mobile G1? They are the new crave and everyone wants one right? What these owners many not know are the security risks that surround the raving technology. Most of the unawareness starts at companies and customers not placing more significance on security as smartphones get smarter. Although a smartphone may not be at greater risk than a PC, some security issues and risks are still present with PDA’s and smartphones. In the United Kingdom, a whooping 800,000 people were the victim of mobile phone theft in 2006. Even though 90 percent of these phones deactivated within 48 hours, what happened to the other 10% of users that lost data to the crime. Smartphones are linked to the corporate network and are as vital as a laptop on the company network. Also, you cannot stop your employees from having accidents by underestimating these devices. Mobile phone operators can stop SIM cards and stop expensive calls from being made. However, a smartphone differs from regular mobile phones. Executives carry all kinds of information on the device, from confidential announcements, to financial results and business in progress. If any of these were ever lost, it could result in the lost of business and trust within company IT infrastructures. It is important to recognize the dangers before permitting a full mobile device network within the company. When sending emails, texts, and using smartphone applications may seem harmless, however your phone could be very vulnerable to hijacker attacks. We will explore some security issues that surround some of the primary smartphones leading the markets today and address how to mitigate users’ risk of being attacked. Some of the issues that smartphones are having problems with securing encryption keys that can unlock cell phone holders’ private information. Digital signatures are also being compromised through man in the middle and proxy attacks. While these may not seem to affect every user, surely the danger of having your password captured due to spyware may catch your attention. On the other hand, many Symbian Operating System security flaws that smartphones use to operate have proven to be the source of some application hijacks. Since smartphones such as Blackberry do not require an application code signature, network access is permitted attackers access to owners’ applications. This could cause third parties to send messages, edit, delete, and add contracts and PIM (Product Information Management) data, read and call phone numbers. Simple functions such as sending and receiving SMS (short message service) text messages can be intercepted by another application that could cause outgoing text messages to be picked up by an expensive application. This causes confusion to the smartphone owner who is oblivious that his or her messages have been negotiated leaving the customer to pay the bill. A problem for businessmen and/or businesswomen smartphone owners is opening certain files from their smartphone application can contain this malicious code causing the data to be compromised. A hackers’ claim that they can pay one hundred dollars for an API key that can open backdoor to Blackberry’s RIM (Research in Motion) devices. If this is true than owners and companies have to worry about the data integrity of within application and software. Some issues that are present are the talk about an API key that can be bought for one hundred dollars. It gives hackers the ability to allow unauthorized network access. Let’s take the iPhone developers. They have yet to incorporate Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. This makes it easy for an Internet provider to expose private data due to unsecured connections to servers. The current iPhone user must forward their e-mail to an Internet service provider, potentially exposing data. Trust could be gained if communications were encrypted from start o finish and usage of a VPN. Some devices like Blackberry and Sidekicks argue that there devices are encrypted from start to finish, but that is one on a phone service aspect. With growth in mobile networks full encryption should be implemented on both phone and web network sectors. VPN’s could mitigate the issues surrounding application data integrity. VPN’s use SSL (Secure Socket Layers). A SSL provide security and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks and are used in wide-spread use in applications like web browsing, electronic mail, instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP). With this connection a user can ensure that pictures, text messages, emails, and application data going out or coming in is kept private. Do users think spying on your smartphone is impossible or hard? Of course, spying through social engineering risk, but what about if users have no idea that they are being watched? When connected to a PC, smartphones no authentication. They are USB devices that can give up all data that is stored in them. If accessed by the wrong hacker, he or she could install malware that can store all of user events and upload them onto an Excel sheet. Trust Of giving counsel essay exampleBBProxy opens a back channel bypassing the organizations gateway security mechanisms between the hacker and the inside of the users’ network. The communications channel between the BlackBerry server and mobile device is encrypted and a tunnel is opened by an administrator so encrypted communications can connect to the BlackBerry server inside the organizations network. A hacker will use this backdoor channel to move around inside of an organization unnoticed and remove confidential information undetected or install malware on the network. The Palm Treo security flaw existed in how data is accessed. It can allow anyone in possession of the device the ability to find data even if the device is locked. With security threats, flaws, and risks discussed, why are smartphones targeted? Well, many store a lot of their personal and business information on smartphones. Users have the deception that their smartphone is immune to hackers or attackers. No anti-malware or anti-virus protection software is installed on smartphones. Also, policies are overlooked because the vision of a mobile device is not taken as serious as a computer on the network. This is why smartphone security is important. With the smartphone market being so competitive, the first smartphone to have a major security breech will surely fade away. With major PC companies such as Microsoft, they have a market advantage. Security issues that are with the software may not as picked apart as the smartphone market. This is simply because a mobile device and easily be replaced. So smartphone companies do not have the same pull on the market as Microsoft. The most important thing to worry about with smartphones is emails and browsers that gateways to malicious activity. Most risks that users face however are not setting a user password and losing their mobile device. Hopefully companies will be better prepared in preventing security threats that are overlooked in smartphones. Companies that are planning to give employees access to business applications on their company smartphones. First, a company should Know the technology youre getting into, advises Shane Coursen, senior technology consultant at Kaspersky Lab. This simply means to understand the security risks before the company purchase a certain mobile device. Educate employees on importance of smartphone security. Have training classes that teach employees on best security practices and make sure they understand company policies about smartphones. Addresses issues such as, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Hire a company that can manage the company’s smartphones. That is, find qualified companies to manage your smartphone network and updates. Have accountability of smartphones. Take inventory and have only one smartphone carrier. This helps pin point a problem easier if one was to ever arise. Know the risks that the company can face. If data was lost or vulnerable how would it be recovered or protected? If smartphones are used as a thin client, have employees access applications through a Web browser so that nothing is stored locally, encryption is a great line of defense for data thats transported between back-end systems and smartphones. Enforce passwords. This is a way of protecting mobile devices that have data stored on them even though spyware or back doors can be present. Firewalls also add to security to prevent penetration to data. The most important is to buy anti-virus software that will protect your smartphones from malware and set standards so that updates will be ran routinely over the air. Bottom line is users must start treating smartphone like a laptop or desktop. The steps to hardening a smartphone network should become a necessity.
