Time after time in life, it is paramount for us to think deeply about what career path we will take. It helps to better clarify who we are as people, what we stand for, it enables others to know our qualifications and influences, as well as, why we are so ardent about it, and why we chose to pursue a particular path in life. This paper will respond to the several questions as we ponder when the first time I remember a time an individual applying counseling skills with me, my feelings, the end result, and how has that affected my counseling outlook.

I can honestly say that in growing up, I did not have a person in my life who depicted a type of role as a counselor, I grew up in an environment where children should be seen and not heard, we all had a role in the family, and things had to be done in a certain way. As the oldest in of the children and parents were working parents, my role was nanny, cook, and maid. The adults in the family were the authority. It was a responsibility that helped me but also hurt me because I really had no time for friends and socializing was only with other family members. I grew up in a strict and over protective father, which was destructive because as much as he tried to protect there were things he could not protect me from. I did go to a psychiatrist for therapy because I was out of control, this happens when a child is protected to the point that she or he has no identity except for being a mother to the siblings, a housekeeper, and a cook with no outside life except with family. The true reason why I went to therapy was that I was sexually molested by family members at the age of seven. At the time I didn’t tell my parents or anyone else, not even the psychiatrist. I know it was an opportunity but he was a male and he ended molesting me. I never told anyone I just acted out more and more. It wasn’t until one day a family member wanted to have sex with me, I was sixteen and I had enough. I told my parents and I thought I would be safe and my parents would take care of it. No, my father betrayed me, he did not believe me and for me, that was the ultimate betrayal.

If I would have had someone to talk to maybe things would have been different. I struggled for a long time with the inability to verbalize my feelings. A lot of times growing up I would have different emotions and feelings of anger, rage, sadness, and betrayal knowing what brought me to this level and more importantly unable to handle it. Over time, however, I would find relationships to bridge that gap. These relationships were both physically, emotionally and sexually abusive. Experienced vulnerable times with break downs of not being able to cope with my moods. Even though I never saw a counselor I started to understand how much stronger I felt after I started talking about my experiences. As time went on I started to play another role of listening to others. The reason I did this was that I felt great. Helping others brings me joy and completion.

On 2011 my academic career began, I was accepted into the Bachelor’s psychology program at Argosy University. After finishing that program I started the Master’s program on forensic psychology in 2013, completed and graduated. In 2016, I started the Mental Health Counseling program. Unfortunately, the school closed on March 8, 2019. On March 25, 2019, I was accepted to Walden University, which is a great opportunity to finish the program.

I am enthusiastic about counseling and the progression it makes in the field of counseling. Counseling utilizes tools in identifying and comprehending mental disorders. Identifying clients’ clinical past, and various testing are performed and compared; this is what a substance abuse treatment center, treatment center in a correctional facility, and in the center I work for exactly does. I have faith in that if you mend a client’s way of thinking and behavior it can actually alter their life, from somebody who is in pain and hates themselves to somebody who completely values all that life has to offer and loves being who they are without faking it. I believe that if a client comprehends their disorder and can essentially see the results that their disorder has on their behavior the client will be more eager to change. The counselor empowers a client by providing that sense of control in their lives. As a counselor, it is to provide a client with the coping skills needed and empowering them with self-discovery.

To continue my growth in the counseling field I plan to join workshops presented by the American Counseling Association (ACA). To continue growing and become a great counselor I would need to improve and incorporate valuable alliances and inspire hope and optimism. According to Shallcross (2012), a great counselor swiftly centers on attainable goals, cautiously selects evidence-based theories, takes full advantage of change prospects, and facilitates treatment and assures that the achieved is maintained after the counseling relationship has ended.
Topic: identity

For growth, fortitude is needed. A safe environment needs to be formed and a structured treatment so a client is able to engage in the prospects of change. I also believe that the most valuable skills a counselor can have when counseling is, self-awareness, empathy, and flexibility in order to grow as a counselor. Additionally, learning to listen to a client meticulously allows the session to advance. Providing structure not only provides a client with some kind of insight, ability to make decisions, and acknowledgment, but most importantly it empowers them.

In taking the VARK (2018) assessment I learned that I was a kinesthetic learner, which means that I focus on the application of ideas. I learn more through by doing or experiencing the ideas. This helps in creating a better connection. To be successful as an online student and a counselor, persistence is the greatest key. Since this is not my first time as an online student I have had many challenges with technical issues. However, I have asked for help and worked through the issues challenges in order to complete those assignments. It is my belief that my learning style allows to better my communication skills, resolve conflicts, make better decisions, and with managing my time. Additionally, my learning style would be beneficial in helping others as a tutor or helping one of my peers.
Topic: identity

The resources provided by Walden University would strengthen my learning style by providing the needed and necessary resources to better enhance my learning, with books and videos since I am more a hands on learner videos of how other counselors approach to therapy and their style of communication would be a better fit. The resource I use is the Purdue Online Writing Lab, I have used this resource throughout my academic career. I find that when I have an issue on I can go to the website and find the appropriate way to cite a passage or a journal.

The American Counseling Association Code of Ethics (2014), is very informative, which I have several copies. Since I work as a victim advocate/counselor I keep a copy with me at work and at home. Throughout my academic career, I use the ACA for assignments, however, I use the information if I have questions regarding dual relationships, professional responsibility, evaluation or assessment. Learning and understanding the entire ACA takes time, but I feel knowing and understanding is dependent on the situation. However, in achieving this throughout the academic career is important but again having a copy to look at when a situation present itself, which is important. However, learning the ACA is most important in regards to confidentiality, professional responsibility, counseling relationship, and do no harm.

According to CACREP Standards (2016, p. 21) students that are getting ready to major in as a mental health counselor need to show the skilled understanding and skills required to aid clients in building life strategies, as well as, focusing on a broad range of situations within the framework of clinical mental health counseling. To have learned and demonstrated the skills needed to effectively these skills the plan is to learn from the assignments and take the feedback from the professor and fellow students, as well as, using these skills at work with supervision from the supervisor.

To anticipate any stressors that may come my way can sometimes be a challenge, but to avoid stressors and maintain self-care I am very much cognizant of the symptoms. Showing signs of distraction while I am with a client can subsequently lead to burnout. In order to maintain self-care as a counselor, it may be hard to say no to a client, which can be especially difficult when working with clients who are grappling with extreme dependence and therefore force the boundaries. However, talking with clients and ascertaining the expectancies and responsibilities from the start of the counseling relationship is insightful and soundest practice. By setting boundaries, it promotes chances that I will stay aware of my personal importance and self-care. According to Pope & Vasquez (2005) sustaining healthy regard for boundaries is an asset to a counselor’s personal and professional life. Apart from setting boundaries, being flexible with time and scheduling guarantees that I have time for me.
Topic: identity

Another strategy I utilize to maintain low stress and self-care is mini vacations, which offers a much-needed break from the office and home. The best strategy is having a support system. Having support from my family, friends, colleagues, and my fellow peer’s guarantees that I always have someone I can depend and lean on. My support system helps in getting me through the hurdles I am facing. If I am having problems in persuading a client to open up, I ask my supervisor who is a licensed counselor for suggestions. Time with my family or friends is a great diversion from the difficulties of work.

This is Ralph giving supporting reasons as to why he deserves to be chief ”’I ought to be chief’ Jack said with simple arrogance and authority, ‘”because I’m chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp.’ (Golding 22). This is Jack boasting and claiming authority over Ralph using a bully technique to belittle ralph and make him feel insecure. They both believe they have jurisdiction over the followers and can not get along … Jack gets very violent in the novel and hurts other boys.

A final way Golding demonstrated the loss of identity within the boys is when Ralph defends Piggy after being attacked by Jack. Ralph says: “that was a dirty trick” (Golding 102). This shows that Ralph is really mad at Jack, after what he did to Piggy. Ralph is always trying to assert himself as a leader, as he says in an aggressive and assertive tone. This suggests that there is still a glimpse of civilization left on the island at this time because there is always someone with a sense of moral integrity who is ready to fight for justice.

The ADDRESSING GSA Self-Assessment is a model for recognizing cultural characteristics. It focuses on how each characteristic is on a scale of dominant to non-dominant, dependent upon one’s environment. Whether a certain characteristic is dominant or non-dominant varies at different locations. The model addresses 12 cultural characteristics, including age and generational differences, development or other disability, religion and spiritual orientation, ethnic and racial identity, social class, sexual orientation, indigenous background, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, size, and assigned sex at birth (Hays, 2016).
Topic: identity

To become a culturally competent counselor, it is important to be self-aware of biases and to recognize the areas where I am a member of the dominant group (Hays, 2016). The groups that I identify with that are considered part of more privileged groups in the society I live in are age, developmental or other disabilities, religion, ethnic and racial identity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, national origin, and size. Regarding age, I am thirty years old, considered a young adult.
Topic: identity

Religion is another dominant group that I identify with. I identify is a Christian, specifically Baptist. I was raised in a southern Baptist church; however, I identify as more Nondenominational now. I believe that my values, beliefs, and goals in life were shaped by my religious upbringing. I am also Caucasian; I grew up middle class and currently consider myself to be middle class, and I identify as a heterosexual female. Heterosexual European Americans, upper- and middle-class people, and people who identify with the Christian religion are all considered the more privileged/dominant groups in the United States and Texas, where I grew up and still live. Lastly, size is another dominant group that I belong to. Having more body fat is considered nondominant. I am an average sized person, not under or overweight.
Topic: identity

The different dominant and nondominant parts of my identity impact my worldview because my worldview is made up, in part, due to my cultural influences, values, and beliefs. As I mentioned, I was raised in a small town in Texas. I grew up in a Christian home; we were middle class southern Baptists. Being a female, being white, and being heterosexual all have an impact on my worldview. That is why it is important as a counselor to be familiar with cultures that are different from my own, and to be self-aware of any bias that I have.

Racial identity developmental theories are influenced by the maturation of cognitive and psychological processes internal to the person and by the person’s context sociocultural group dynamics (Quintanta & Montero, 2006). During early childhood, children’s understanding of their world is based on their observation of physical features associated with race, including skin color, facial features, and hair texture. In middle childhood, children acquire racial constancy. They understand that their racial status remains constant despite superficial changes in appearance.
Topic: identity

Youth begin to develop a social perspective on their racial identity during Preadolescence. Children can view themselves through the eyes of others during this period (Quintana & Montero, 2006). It is during adolescence that dramatic changes in racial identity development occur. Ethnic or racial group consciousness develops. This consciousness involves a merge between personal and racial identity and the sense of self is connected to the person’s racial group. (Quintana & Montero, 2006).
Topic: identity

The racial/ethnic identity model that I applied to myself is the White Racial Identity model. This model discusses individual psychological development in a racialized society (Leach, 2006). White racial identity models were created based on Black racial identity models and they had similar stages that white people may go through to reach a nonracist identity. In this model, Caucasians are familiar with their whiteness and move through stages from being oblivious to racial issues to accepting other racial groups (Leach, 2006). There are six stages in the White Racial Identity model. In first stage, Contact, the individual is colorblind, oblivious to racism and oppression and they like the racial status quo. (Leach, 2006). They see racial differences, but don’t think that they are important. The next stage, Disintegration, comes when an individual is exposed to or experiences the privileges of being White.
Topic: identity

There is racial anxiety and ambivalence in this stage and individuals must deal with moral dilemmas about racial issues and has to choose between either becoming involved with other individuals from different racial and ethnic identities or maintain the status quo (Leach, 2006). One example of my own development in this stage would be when I started school. I had never really been around anyone else from another race before I went to school. I remember asking my parents about the other kids that looked different than me. My parents then explained to me that there are kids too, just like me and that they shouldn’t be treated any differently. I chose to become friends with other children of all races in my class. The third stage, Reintegration, is identified by the “blame-the-victim” attitude and idealization of the White race and denigration of other races (Leach, 2006). In this stage, Caucasians may feel that even though there is White privilege, it is because they deserve it and are in some way superior to other racial groups. The next stage, Pseudo-independence, is the first stage of positive racial identification. Acceptance of other racial groups occurs during this stage, but full acceptance is not yet achieved (Leach, 2006).
Topic: identity

To move into the next stage, Immersion/Emmersion, an individual makes a genuine attempt to connect to his or her White identity. They also begin to consider the benefits they have received as a result of being White. There is also an understanding of their role in our racist society (Leach, 2006). I went through this stage when I went to college and started living on my own. The sixth and final stage, Autonomy, is achieved when an individual has a positive view of Caucasians, but also understands the realities of minority social groups, racism, and oppression; and they see the racial world from a different perspective (Leach, 2006).
Topic: identity

The cultural identity model I applied to myself is Fowler’s Theory of Faith Development, which is measured using the Faith Development Interview (FDI) (Parker, 2006). Fowler proposed seven stages of faith that an individual goes through on their path to making sense and relating to one’s “ultimate environment.” Progressing to the next stage involves movement toward greater complexity in the structural aspects, which are form of logic, perspective taking, form of moral judgment, bounds of social awareness, locus of authority, form of world coherence, and symbolic function (Parker, 2006.)
Topic: identity

In the first stage of Fowler’s Theory of Faith Development, Primal Faith, is technically a pre-stage. It is the interaction between an infant and the primary caregiver during the first year of life providing a foundation for faith by basic trust vs. mistrust. The next stage, Intuitive-Projective Faith, begins when the child starts talking. It is characterized by the wild imagination of the child. In this stage, God is a powerful part of the imagination, similar to Santa Claus (Parker, 2006.)
Topic: identity

The third stage, Mythic-Literal Faith, children acquire concrete-operational thought and have a new way of seeing the world; justice is real and reciprocal. The new way of seeing gives rise to a faith in a God who guarantees a reciprocal fairness (Parker, 2006). One specific example from my life that comes to mind about this stage is asking my dad questions about God. I remember a lot of Sunday evenings asking my dad questions about things that I learned in Sunday school that I didn’t understand or that didn’t make sense to me. In doing this, it helped me to learn the concept of faith and believing in something that you can’t necessarily see.
Topic: identity

In the fourth stage, Synthetic-Conventional Faith, meaning-making and committing to values takes on a more interpersonal dimension. God takes on the qualities of a good friend in this stage. The fifth stage, Individuative-Reflective Faith, is characterized by reflection on one’s faith. This reflection requires that inconsistencies in behavior and values must be stopped (Parker, 2006). I feel that in my life, I went through this stage when I got baptized around the age of 12. Being baptized is a public profession of faith that is supposed to portray your seriousness of your relationship with God and your wants to live the way in a way that serves Him. The next stage, Conjunctive Faith, brings the acknowledgement that consistencies of one’s reflective faith have come with a price. God is seen as mystery and paradox in this stage. Finally, the last stage, Universalizing Faith, seeks inclusiveness while still maintaining clear commitments to values of universal justice and love (Parker, 2006).

Nowadays life is being influenced by the digital environment. The digitalization is one of a controversial and almost new topic in the world. As a result of digital development; many concepts have been changed gradually. The digitization of media represents a phase change in the history of communications (Mulhern, 2009, p.86, Royle & Laing, 2014). Social communication is not limited by physical distance any longer. One’s social distance to another is determined by the social degree of relationship rather than geophysical distance (Fortin & Chen, 2017).

Because an important role that voluntourism can play in eradicating poverty, developing the so-called third world and providing international awareness of the environmental problem, the study of voluntourism have grown exponentially over the past 20 years. Digital environment aid volunteer tourist to make international group easily, they now are able to stay in touch with the communities that hosted them, as well as with each other, via Facebook and other social media (Sink 2011, Wearing & McGehee, 2013)

Based on this theory this membership can influence on each member’s behavior, they define their own identity with regard to a social group and that such identification work to protect and bolster self-identity (Islam, 2014). voluntourism studies mainly cover the intention of the volunteer while another important area of study revolves around the organizations that facilitate volunteer tourism (Wearing, McGehee, 2013) Therefore there is an opportunity for the organizations and hosts to use these groups to fulfill their targets by the help of digital marketing and social identity theory.

In this study, two articles have been assisted to get deeper insight and light up the way. First the paper of Mostafanezhad, she investigates how celebrities impact on the volunteering trend and have made it sexy (Mopstafanezhad, 2013). She studies the role of them to expand the culture of humanitarianism among people (mainly females). Then Bone and Bone study that shows how voluntourism can put the participants into the process of deterritorialization and recommend that there must be a space for participants to reflexively engage with their tourism experiences beyond sharing photos in social media (Bone & Bone, 2017).

Tourism is a major source of revenue in many countries, voluntourism as a form of tourism can generate physical assistance in addition to monetary. This physical help is including teaching, health care, construction project, environmental conservation and so forth. Although Awareness of volunteer tourism opportunities continues to expand through viral marketing, social networks, grassroots communication and consumer to consumer information sharing. (Martine Bakker, 2008), this is a volunteering organization and host responsibility to manage this trend and put it in a scheduled flow in order to achieve their defined objectives. Hence I can say that the purpose of this research is a detailed examination of the role of digital marketing channels on creating social groups of volunteer tourists and then uses the Social Identity theory as a framework to utilize of those social groups by the voluntourism organization for increasing the desire of group’s members toward volunteering activities. This might put people in the lope of altruism and expand the culture of voluntary work.

As the global community shrinks in size, the notion of ‘helping your neighbor’ is expanding (Martine Bakker,2008) Many see volunteer tourism as a form of alternative tourism (Britton & Clarke, 1987; Cohen, 1987, 2003; Dernoi, 1981, 1988; Ellis, 2003; Halpenny & Caissie, 2003; Holden, 1984; McGehee, 2002; Pearce, 1980; Singh, 2002, 2004; Sorensen, 1997; Uriely, Reichel, & Ron, 2003; Wearing, 2001, 2003, Wearing & McGehee, 2013) but it is argued that, ‘those tourists who, for various reasons, volunteer in an organized way to undertake holidays that might involve aiding or alleviating the material poverty of some groups in society, the restoration of certain environments, or research into aspects of society or environment’ (Wearing, 2001, Wearing & McGehee, 2013).

These studies often focus on a pre-trip section, mostly the voluntourist’s motivations (Mostafanezhad, 2013, Easton & Wise, 2015, Bone & Bone, 2017, M-Tregeman et al, 2017) based on Wearing and McGehee review 2013 the research identified a number of positive motivations for volunteer tourism, including altruism, self-development, giving back to the host community, participating in community development, and cultural understanding (Brown, 2005; Brown & Morrison, 2003; Callanan &Thomas, 2005; Coghlan, 2008; McIntosh & Zahra, 2007; Stoddart &Rogerson, 2004; Wearing & Dean, 2003, Wearing & McGehee, 2013)).

Theories that been applied in this research area are social identity theory and voluntourism since the voluntourism is group-oriented and it is a kind of project that should be done by a team, the role of social identity theory would be critical for every organization and firm that work in this industry in order to set their marketing strategies. Moreover, the question of which digital marketing channels best fit for them would stump them, Therefor the role of social identity theory on volunteer tourist should be investigated precisely, and then the effect of each digital marketing channels (including, search engine, social media, email marketing and website marketing) on the social identity of voluntourism is going to study, and at the end, a conceptual framework for the organizations and host societies to maximize their marketing efforts will be introduced.

This research is mixed research and both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used. It will be divided into two main phases the first is a qualitative phase that contains a precise study of literature in order to gain strong knowledge about different parts of the research and investigate gaps of the proposed model. This process will be conducted through various databases such as Emerald, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Elsevier and reference lists from key studies used to locate information relevant to the study. This process led us to create questions for the interview, then through a deep interview with marketing expert and those people who are using digital marketing channels, a model can be introduced. The second phase will be quantitative, and in this part, the research model will be tested with statistic population. The quantitative data will be collected through a questionnaire. In the end all data will be analyzed and the result will be revealed.

In this research, a literature study will help me for proposing a theoretical framework, model and hypothesis. In this phase, a deep interview will be used and for analyzing the result, the coding method will conduct and then a model will produce. After that, field study will be applied and for testing hypothesis by questionnaire data will be collecting. For conducting this research, all three players of the voluntourism should participate including volunteering organizations, volunteer tourists and host communities. In the first phase, the interview will be used as a tool for collecting qualitative data and the second phase uses a questionnaire for collecting quantitative data. In this research at least two NGO or volunteering organization should participate, preferably those who have been using different channels for marketing, one destination that characterize the host community and finally the volunteer tourists will be chosen among those who are skilled ranged from 25-30 years old.

Sikh is known as Sikhism. It is culture and religion that was found in Punjab (India). “The Sikh religion was founded in Northern India in the fifteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and is distinct from Islam and Hinduism. Sikhism is monotheistic and stresses the equality of all men and women. Sikhs believe in three basic principles; meditating on the name of God (praying), earning a living by honest means as well as sharing the fruits of one’s labor with others. Sikhism rejects caste and class systems and emphasizes service to humanity. Turbans are worn to cover our long hair and with respect to God. Sikhs have unshorn hair, beards and moustaches. The Sikh faith teaches us the humanitarian principles of freedom, equality, and justice – the same principles this great democracy is founded on. There are about 25 million Sikhs in the world. Sikhs have been in the United States for over 100 years. Sikhism recognizes the universal truths that underlie all human endeavors, religions and belief systems. The universal nature of the Sikh way of life reaches out to people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds, encouraging us to see beyond our differences and to work together for world peace and harmony. The almost 25 million Sikhs worldwide constitute the fifth largest religion in the world. Despite almost a million Sikhs living in North America (USA and Canada), Sikhs are often confused as Arabs or Muslims. Sikhs arrived in North America in 1897 and played a pivotal role in the opening of the West and construction of the Panama Canal in 1904. In 1906, Sikhs established their first gurdwara, or place of worship, in the United States. 700,000 Americans and Canadians are Sikh and nearly every major city has a Sikh place of worship and community center.” ( “The aftermath of the attack of September 11th serve as unique opportunity to measure this connection because at the time Sikhs became the victims of hate crimes due to mistaken identity. The hate crimes that occurred in the United States after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, resulted in a new perspective of the roles of Sikhs as Americans. Due to the lack of understanding of Sikhism on the part of mainstream Americans, Sikh Americans fell victim to mistaken identity and hate crimes. Although the Sikh American community has maintained a strong religious identity, they continue to live insular lives. Sikhs have been in the United States for over 100 years, and yet there continues to be a lack of cultural awareness of the community. Although they do maintain strong ties to their culture and religion, Sikhs live insular lives. These insular lives, which fail to educate the American society, have resulted in a backlash against Sikh Americans. This lack of cultural awareness had manifested itself in mistaken identity that caused the hate crimes committed against Sikh Americans this year.” ( So you can see how Sikhs culture and identity impacted in the American society.

Culture and Identity 11: Define subculture, folk culture, high culture and mass culture and give examples (20 marks)Subculture: Subcultures form in larger societies that don’t all share the same beliefs and general way of life. A subculture is a group within a society that has different beliefs, values, norms or way of life, but can also have directly opposing beliefs. This is known as a subculture of resistance. Some examples of regular subcultures are youth, criminal and gay subcultures, which are different from dominant culture but still share ideas and beliefs.

Indicated by Fagermoane, the professional identity of nurses can be defined as the values and beliefs held by nurses that guide her/his thinking, actions and interactions with the patient (Hoeve, Jansen & Roodbol, 2014, p. 303) A nurse’s professional identity is exceedingly essential to health and human service delivery How? Their role is to be attentive and understand vital information such as patients’ values, attitudes, morals and beliefs. This can be established by properly understanding and utilising the codes of conduct, the law and legal rules and principles that apply with health and human services.

An industry such as a hospital has high standards for their medical team; they expect that each nurse put their patients’ needs before their own to bring them back to their original good health, for example, due to a busy schedule and a highly demanding ward some nurses do not get a break due to the fact that they are focused and preoccupied with their job. This displays the concept of putting others (their patients) needs before their own and doing what is best for their patients to the greatest of their abilities.

?From the point of view of a reader, it is clear that Jamaica Kincaid is not satisfied with the way Antigua is now. By comparing pre-colonial Antigua with colonial and post-colonial Antigua, Kincaid creates a novel that is anti-tourist and questions whether the island was better off in pre-colonial times or how it is now. In the first section of the novel, Kincaid describes to the reader the beauty of the island without going into the harsh way that the natives live their lives.

She tells this part from the hypothetical view of a tourist, but eventually ends the section by discussing how much she dislikes tourists. The second section describes the old Antigua, while it was in the colonial possession of Great Britain. The third section finds Kincaid questioning whether times were better in the old days or how they are today. The fourth section closes out the book with a comparison of the ‘mixed blessing’ the people on the island are living with: they are surrounded by the immense beauty of a tropical island in the Caribbean, only to find themselves stricken with poverty and unsuitable living conditions.

In the first section, Kincaid starts off from the point of view of a tourist, and shows readers how they would view the island. “As you’re plane descends to land, you might say, what a beautiful island Antigua is.” [4] Kincaid shows from a tourists point of view that the island is extremely beautiful. However, within the beauty of the island is the true life of the natives that live there, and the poverty and poor living conditions that they are faced with. A native sees the island differently because they have to live there and they deal with it everyday, while a tourist comes in and sees the island for the first time. The tourist views the island as a paradise, a type of getaway from the regular troubles of their native land.

“Every native of every place is a potential tourist, and every tourist is a native of somewhere. Every native everywhere lives a life of overwhelming and crushing banality and boredom and desperation and depression, and every deed, good and bad, is an attempt to forget this. Every native would like to find a way out, every native would like a rest, every native would like a tour. But some natives — most natives in the world — cannot go anywhere. They are too poor. They are too poor to go anywhere. They are too poor to escape the reality of their lives; and they are too poor to live properly in the place where they live, which is the very place you, the tourist, want to go — so when the natives see you, the tourist, they envy you, they envy your ability to leave your own banality and boredom, they envy your ability to turn their own banality and boredom into a source of pleasure for yourself.” [18-19]

The second section sees Kincaid going back to the old Antigua, during the colonial possession. She briefly remembers the unquestioning obedience of Antigua to England and their culture. From a cultural point of view, we now see how England stripped Antiguans of their culture and their morals, being able to ‘mold’ them, in a sense, into the people they wanted them to be. This was often the case for many Caribbean countries once they were colonized.

“If you could hear the sound of [the old library’s] quietness . . . , the smell of the sea . . . , the heat of the sun . . . , the beauty of us sitting there like communicants at an altar . . . , the fairy tale of how we met you, your right to do the things you did . . . you would see why my heart would break at the dung heap that now passes for a library in Antigua.”

“It is as if, then, the beauty—the beauty of the sea, the land, the air, the trees, the market, the people, the sounds they make—were a prison, and as if everything and everybody inside it were locked in and everything and everybody that is not inside it were locked out. And what might it do to ordinary people to live in this way every day? What might it do to them to live in such heightened, intense surroundings every day?”

Kincaid believes that the slaves who were brought to the island were victims and considered them honorable, but their descendants and the people who live in Antigua today are merely simple human beings. Europeans believed that colonizing these countries would give them a sense of hope and open them up to new cultures. However, Kincaid believes that the culture of Antigua was stripped from them with the arrival of the English. From a cultural and historical point of view, the Antiguans culture and sense of history was taken from them. The natives live in a beautiful country but are faced with poverty everyday. From an outsiders point of view, the country is beautiful. However, from someone who is a native to the island, it is a place without culture or beauty.

, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder has been the issue of strong philosophical scrutiny. Part of the reason for this is because it brings up the question of personal identity and whether there can be more than one person “inside” one body. “Various skeptics have argued that there is no such thing as multiple personality, or that it is in some way artificial or inauthentic” (Perring, 2010). Disbelievers generally maintain that DID is essentially a phenomenon where therapists or influential others suggest dissociative

of psychiatric induced DID have been documented in literature (Ross, 1989). They also believe that DID typically appear from severe childhood trauma on individuals who may be inclined to dissociation (Loewenstein, 1994). Society has fortunately conquered their former ignorance and now realizes that mental illness does exist. Although there still needs to be further research performed on the causes and treatments of all mental illnesses this is particularly true when it comes to Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Some cynics believe that Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) does not exist at all, and is a deceptive practice by patients and therapists seeking attention, money, or to use it as an excuse for criminal behavior. Others claim that DID is not really a separate occurrence, but rather a different form of mental disorders such as Schizophrenia, Manic Depression, or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These debates are on-going, and considerable controversy still surrounds the diagnosis of DID, however, it remains as a category in the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-IV-TR.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) as “the presence of two or more distinct identities. . . that recurrently take control of the person’s behavior. . .(and in which there is) an inability to recall important information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetting” (p. 484).
Topic: identity

A person with Dissociative Identity Disorder presents as having the appearance of at least two distinct personalities within one person. “These personalities, or “alters,” can have profoundly different voices, speech patterns, self-descriptions, memories, character traits, beliefs, desires, and levels of education. Different alters within one body can describe themselves as being of different ages, genders, ethnicities, skin color, height, weight, and eye color” (Perring 2010). The different alters may not be aware of each other, however, one alter (A.) may be aware of alter (B.) without the other alter (B.) being aware of alter (A.) (one-dimensional).

In the book When Rabbit Howls, the patient presents with over 92 different personalities. The main identity, Truddi Chase, is buried deep within the other alters, and does not speak, she is a two year old that the book refers to as “sleeping”. The book itself is written by the other alters who are referred to as “The Troops”. What is interesting about Truddi’s story is that she was able to work, get married, and have a child despite her serious condition. Throughout her life there have been periods of amnesia, and the various alters all experience this amnesia. At one point in the book, Truddi’s alter “switches” to one named the Outrider and she refers to the switch as “Her mind shifted too, not a jarring motion, but like a car changing gears, smooth-except that she felt it strongly and wondered why it was happening” (The Troops for Truddi Chase, 1987).
