Dissociative Identity Disorder: What is it?

“If you smash anything hard enough enough times, it will smash into pieces. I guess that’s what happened to me…” Many people feel they have a grasp on what Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is while some have never heard of it. I invite you on a journey of delving deeper into the mystery, reason and conflict behind Dissociative Identity Disorder. At the end, we will come out clearer than when we first started and find our own personal answer to its credibility as a disorder.

Convergences Project: FASB and IFRS

Due to developments and movement towards a one world economy, a joint activity of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) called project convergence has been initiated. The convergence project has the objective of matching the two board’s present standards and adapting the two sets of standards into a single set of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For my capstone project, I will present an oral report on the similarities and differences that will have to be resolved in order to forge a single set of generally accepted accounting principles.

Integrating Technology into Churches

Since I am in college and going to be a Youth Pastor, technology is a part of my everyday life. I have visited churches with barely any technology and I believe that this younger generation needs technology in church as a way of connecting and staying relevant. So since I will be facing that problem soon, I thought I should tackle it now.

Helping Children Overcome the Effects of Trauma from Witnessing Domestic Violence: What Current Research Recommends and Further Implications

According to research, one in four families in the US will have firsthand experience of domestic violence in their home. DV appears to be a cycle that perpetuates itself from one generation to the next. Children who witness DV are at high risk for long-term developmental, social, and psychological dysfunctions. Focusing on treating the children with empirically supported intervention programs may help alleviate the effects. This research paper examines children’s intervention programs, and discussion of how these interventions can be implemented in the community will follow.

Doll of Hope

Utilizing the 3 branches of my IDS focus (English, Education and History), I have written and illustrated a children’s book titled “Doll of Hope.” This is a tale about two little girls attending the Japanese Immersion School in Eugene. While playing ‘dress-up,’ the girls find a beautiful doll. They discover she is a missing ‘Friendship Doll.’ much of the book is based on the history of two dolls, Miss Kanagawa, and Miss Fukuoka, who were given to Oregon in 1927. A festival highlights their reunion!

Developmental Case Study of Three Elementary Age Children

The purpose of this project is to study the developmental stages of a 7-year old male subject who resides in a middle to upper class home in the Springfield area. Over the course of two months, interviews, observations, games, and cognitive tests were conducted to gather information in order to compare his developmental process according to cognitive psychologist Jean Piaget’s developmental stages. The developmental stages observed and recorded were Cognitive Development, Physical Development, Self Concept and Self Esteem, Social Development, and Values and Moral Development. Upon examination of all areas and careful analysis of text information, it was noted that case subject is developing normally to slightly above his age level.

Commemorating the American Revolution with U.S. Stamps

Over 100 stamps have been issued by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to commemorate the revolutionary period in American history. What stories are they telling us about the birth of our nation? What events and people do these stamps portray? What is the significance of these events and people for our current time? Why should we care, as a people and a nation? This paper will explore these issues using illustrations of selected stamps from my personal collection.

A Saturated Market: The Effect of Electronic Media on the Publishing Industry

The emergence of the Internet as a viable medium for publishing has coincided with the demise of traditional forms of publishing of magazines, newspapers, books, and trade journals. This is a case of causation rather than correlation, as the publishing industry has been forced to either adapt to the modern publishing paradigm or shut down.
