Write a reflection paper on Kottler’s book The Therapy in the Real World.

Directions:
As individuals, we all face challenges in our lives that shape the kinds of people that we become. In some cases, we might be described as “heroic” for the way that we face these challenges or for the actions we take when we encounter a difficult situation. Joseph Campbell describes two types of heroic deeds: the physical and the spiritual. The physical, he says, focuses on the hero saving a life or sacrificing him/herself for another person. The spiritual, on the other hand, happens when a hero “learn[s] or [finds] a way to experience the super-normal and [comes] back to share his/her revelations.”
In this section, we are reading two stories that deal with these two types of heroic deeds: “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. As you answer these questions, offer examples and quotes from one of the stories to support your answers.
Who is the hero, or protagonist, in one of these stories? What does this character do that seems heroic in terms of the way that Campbell describes the two types of heroic deeds? (Keep in mind that there may be some element of both the physical AND the spiritual in each of these characters. Analyze the protagonist in both ways if it seems appropriate.)
Do you consider the individual presented as the protagonist in this work to be a hero? Why or why not? Explain. Consider the flaws that are evident in each of these protagonists: what effect does it have on your perception of the character to see that the hero/protagonist is not perfect, that he/she makes mistakes as well? Does a character have to be flawless to be a hero?
Which of the three types of hero journeys do these characters find themselves in: being lured into the journey, intentionally setting out on the journey, or being pitched/thrown into the journey? Support your answer with evidence from the stories.
What internal and/or external conflicts does the hero face? How is this character’s conflict representative of a conflict that readers may encounter in their own lives? Review your lesson notes for information on internal and external conflicts if you need more information.
What enlightenment, or knowledge, comes to light as a result of the conflicts the character faces? (Note: the enlightenment may not happen in the story but may be, instead, the enlightenment that the reader comes to understand as a result of reading the story.) How does that make the protagonist who is described in the work to be a “heroic” individual?
In one sentence, then, state what you think the theme of each of these works might be. Look to the title for a clue about the message that the writer is trying to communicate, and focus on that idea as you write your statement of theme.

Pick a technological, device, tool, or initiative and discuss how it
makes the job of a Sports Communication Director/VP of Marketing
easier and more streamlined.
 Please cite your examples and references – both from the textbook, as
well as the Internet (website sources must be reliable ones. If you’re in
doubt, contact me to vet the source).
 Quotes from personnel within the industry – either those who created it
and/or those who use it – should be included in your paper, too.
Remember – harkening back to our module on Sports Journalism and
Writing, giving your article quotes, adds backbone and supports your
theory/stance on a topic.
 As you can see, this should be a hybrid of a research-based approach
to writing, as well as infusing the paper with what you see as the most
critical and popular tech today.

This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
The importance of trade continues to be a debated topic because the gains are not always quantifiable by those involved. Some would argue that due to a significant difference in wages and regulations, free trade is not always fair trade and that free trade agreements are used by companies to simply chase lower wages and fewer regulations. In the United States, this has been an ongoing debate in regard to both the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the normalized trade relationship with China. Take some time to read the following articles before beginning your post:
Free Trade vs. Fair Trade
U.S. Trade Strategy: Free Versus Fair
Based on what you have read, please address the following questions:
Which do you feel is a better approach, free or fair trade, and why?
Given the concept of comparative advantage, should we even be discussing free versus fair trade?

The U.S. Constitution stipulates that Electors will vote for the office of President and Vice President, what we commonly refer to as the Electoral College. Two times in the 21st century the candidate with the most popular votes across the United States has not won the most votes in the Electoral College, hence losing the election. Some activists and scholars are arguing that a democratic system of government requires that majority rules; therefore, the candidate for President who receives the most popular votes should win the election. Further, there is a proposal to bypass the Electoral College without having to amend the Constitution (which is basically impossible).
