Abstract
Assessing the historically awkward relationship between psychiatric care and medicine and the African American population, tracing the latter's historically ingrained reluctance to seek treatment in formal, medical settings due to the hostility, ignorance and racism often encountered and the deep spiritual roots of the African American community which leads many to rely on pastoral rather than medical care.

Social Psychology Defend the use of social psychological principles in public health practice. The philosopher Satre said, That man can barely be separated from his social situations. Social situations form us and decide who we are. This sums up social psychological principles very clearly. Our behavior as people is connected to the situations in our environment. Social Psychology studies how situations affect a person's behavior. The principles of social psychology can be used in public health practice in order to provide patients with the highest quality of care possible.

Abstract
Canada's relationship with China is a complicated one, going back to the building of our railroads. Today it is made even more awkward because of the differences between the two nations' human rights stances. China is an ardently pro-capital punishment nation, and it has been since the Maoist Revolution. It is a nation that curtails most Free Speech, that publicly murders dissenters, and generally flaunts its nightmarish human rights record. But like every other nation on earth, Canada wants in on China's hot markets. This paper will examine why Canada does business with an evil government. We would probably seem more remiss if the rest of the world were not doing the same. Commerce trumps morality, but is that what Canadians really want?

Abstract
This paper is a literary criticism of "Love Poem" by John Frederick Nims. The paper addresses techniques used within the poem as well as the underlying meaning of Nims' work. It shows ways in which Nims addresses the issue of his lover's imperfections and yet, despite them, proclaims his love for her.

From the Paper
"Poetry is the best way to convey love, and John Frederick Nims uses poetry effectively to convey his love for his companion. "Romantic love can be defined as a deep devotion or affection for something or someone and is often shared between two people. When a love is mutual, lovers find themselves compelled to communicate the love between them, for example, expressing love in a solid form such as poetry" (CliffNotes 1).
John Frederick Nims's poem "Love Poem" is a humorously light poem with an underlying love. This poem would make a perfect poem for a clumsy lover simply because Nims says there is more to a person than their awkward faults. Poetry is a prime way to express love, especially using such vivid imagery as John Frederick Nims does in "Love Poem." "And most importantly, we come to understand this poem for what it is, a true love poem.""

Abstract
This paper examines the occurrence of black slave ownership. The paper discusses the modern novel fictionalizing the reality of black slave owners, "The Known World", written by the historical fiction writer, Edward P. Jones. The paper describes how the author builds a fictional web of society, associating slave ownership by other blacks as a sometimes awkward but mostly necessary outgrowth of economic and social growth.

From the Paper
"Agriculture and even home ownership in the age before the civil war in the United States was a challenging endeavor, one that often required the work of more than one family. In most places in the U.S. the excess labor needed for the maintenance and growth of even a relatively small estate was taken from only one source, slavery. One long-standing debate associated with slavery is the state of freed blacks ownership of slaves. More specifically, currently there are mainly two arguments suggesting why blacks owned other blacks: the first is given by Carter G. Woodson thesis which suggests blacks owned other blacks for humanitarian reasons (to protect loved ones and the like) while the other argument, written by best by Larry Koger in "Free Black Slave Masters in South Carolina, 1790-1860" that black slave owners were no different than white masters and were involved in owning slaves out of a commercial desire to make money."

Abstract
This paper explains that, by choosing to render an honest account of her own painful insecurities as a child, along with her frequent encounters with racism, sexism, and classicism, Angelou takes her readers through the process by which she learned to value herself and develop a sense of self-worth. The author points out that by using a simple plot structure of tracing her development from a insecure, awkward child to a mature, young woman who is confident of her self-worth, this book narrates a personal story of survival against all odds. The paper concludes the most important message of this autobiographical work is that it is possible for an individual to go through a great deal of pain and yet emerge as a strong person.

From the Paper
"In fact, Angelou's work provides horrific insight into the terrorization of black folk by the racist South of the 1930s. Angelou achieves this by recounting several incidents, which reveal the degree to which racism aroused both fear and hatred. For instance, when Bailey comes home late one evening, it is apparent that Momma's anger at him stems more from fear that a lynch mob has victimized him. Both Bailey and Maya learn the meaning of fear, hatred, and alienation all too soon as young children. In fact, they witness more than any young child in his or her formative years should ever have to see, as evidenced by Bailey's watching the delight of a white man over the corpse of a black man, with his genitals cut off."

Abstract
The paper posits that it is awkward to talk about a juvenile justice system and gives two reasons for this. The paper shows that there is some debate over whether a criminal justice system exists. The writer concludes that if there is no justice in the adult criminal justice system, then in all likelihood, there is none in the juvenile justice system, either.

From the Paper
"One criticism regarding the use of the term "system" is that it implies a coordinated effort, with agreement on purposes. While there is a conspicuous lack of coordination in the juvenile justice system, for explanatory purposes, juvenile justice will be considered a system, albeit one where the individual components sometimes work at cross purposes, or at counter purposes."

Abstract
This paper describes Margery Kempe's words as foreign and the meter of her prose as awkward but similar to Shakespeare in terms of familiarity. The paper discusses the book as a journey for self-realization, living as a vagabond in Medieval Europe and traveling to Jerusalem. The author believes that to understand Margery Kempe, the reader must understand the time and social chaos of medieval Europe.

From the Paper
"Chapter 11 is a discussion between Mary, her "husband" and the Lord at the end of 3 years of fasting from sexual relations. Her husband thinks that she is a "no good wife" for her behavior, but Mary is convinced that this course has brought her closer to her God. Her prayer to end this period of fasting reveals the key to her strange behavior, and the plight of the people of her time."

Abstract
A discussion of the progressive stages of disillusionment that a man comes to feel toward his wife. The husband gradually comes to love his wife less and less because he finds her too accommodating, too easy in her manner as she smooths over what could have been awkward encounters among her past and her current husband.

From the Paper
"Edith Wharton's short story "The Other Two" is an examination of the progressive stages of disillusionment that a man comes to feel toward his wife who is depicted to us in terms that are certainly less than complimentary. But while our initial response upon reading this story is to consign Alice to the dustbin of passive, overly-fond-of-convention women, a closer reading must make us reexamine our own disillusionment with the character."

Abstract
As this paper will demonstrate, Zhou, and those he was allowed to influence, in fact controlled a great deal of the decision-making that went on during the Revolution, particularly that involving foreign affairs. This fact weakens the argument that the Revolution was purely a top down movement and demands that we consider it as, to use a somewhat awkward expression, something more of a top and near-top down movement.

Abstract
This paper discusses that, when influence is employed correctly, it efficiently moves people in positive directions; unfortunately, it also can work against us, and make us conform in situations where we are under social, peer or parental pressure.The author expresses the emotions he felt when he became drunk at a party to which he knew he should not have gone: Angry, awkward, weak, ashamed, and disappointment in himself. The paper concludes that, in similar circumstances, the author now tries to become the influencing factor rather than the victim of persuasion.

From the Paper
"Sometimes, it's as simple as people just not taking "no" for an answer. I remember being part of what was considered the "cool" group when I was in high school. It was the group that everyone wanted to be part of, and I was. One summer when I was 17, one of the kids threw a big party while her parents were out of town. I, of course, immediately accepted the invitation not realizing that the group had planned a drinking party and had somehow gotten hold of a keg of beer."
