Abstract
This paper examines the life and works of author and television host, Fred Rogers. The paper presents the main themes of Rogers's message: the recognition of feelings and acceptance of oneself and others. The paper contends that, although Rogers's message may appear simplistic, it is nonetheless profound and void of any sugar-coated sentimentality. Rogers was perhaps the first self-help media guru. Long before the bookstores were lined with self-discovery literature, "Mister Rogers" was captivating generations of children and parents alike and teaching them to love themselves for who they are.
From the Paper
"Fred Roger's neighborhood has become everyone's neighborhood. It is a soft-spoken environment of inner feelings and the safe exploration of world. He taught his audience, his neighbors, to appreciate the small things in life and to acknowledge the beauty of every day. Fred Rogers was the epitome of human decency. "The World According to Mister Rogers" includes chapters such as "The Courage to be Yourself," "Understanding Love," "The Challenges of Inner Discipline," and "We are All Neighbors." Released in October 2003, Rogers' book is filled with inspirational wisdom and love of humankind. Just like his television program, Fred Rogers' book is dedicated to encouraging everyone, everywhere, to better understand and appreciate the not only one's own personal world, but the world at large as well."

Abstract
This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the psychology theories of Carl Rogers. It also presents the characteristics of the fully functioning person, according to Rogers. The paper provides arguments in favor of and in opposition to Roger's therapy methods. Finally, the paper shows how his methods have the ability of assisting many individuals throughout society, particularly within Irish society.
From the Paper
"This approach to counseling can be difficult because the therapist is not tasked with discovering a solution to the issues that pertain to the client's life, but is required to simple understand the person at that moment in time. Rogers (1946) contended that if the therapist were capable of accomplishing this task then the patient would complete the work needed to find resolutions to the issues surrounding him or her. In the process of understanding the individual, therefore, the therapist becomes open to accepting the situation at that point in time, rather than accumulating judgments that are the result of data gathered over the life span of the person. Furthermore, when the therapist focuses on only that moment, the therapist can empathize with the individual to a greater degree because the tendency to judge is erased. Only the situation is significant during the therapy session (Rogers, 1946, sec. 4)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the background and musical achievements of Kenny Rogers, a giant of American country music. It begins by discussing Rogers' upbringing and the beginnings of his singing career. The paper then looks at the course of career, both as an individual and as part of a group. The paper specifically focuses on Rogers' success.
From the Paper
"Like classical music giants like Beethoven and Mozart, Rogers signifies a particular time in the evolution of music. Beethoven and Mozart are remembered not just for their stunning compositions but also for their impact on Western music in general. Changing the way music is heard by the general public, incorporating elements into the music that were unheard of prior, and reaching out to a broad audience are all hallmarks of musical genius. Rogers brought country music and vocal styles into the mainstream. He synthesized elements from a number of different musical styles. Kenny Rogers is also an emblem of the American Dream: showing that a poor boy from Houston can rise to the top of the charts."

Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers, 2005.
This papers compares psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers.
2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 12 sources, $ 106.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Roger Chillingworth, 2002.
A character sketch of the protagonist Roger Chillingworth in Nathaniel Hawthorne?s "A Scarlet Letter".
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 0 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, in the beginning of the story, Roger Chillingworth comes across as a cold-hearted character. Early in the novel, Chillingworth is depicted as a neglectful husband, whose unfulfilled promise to join his wife in the New World led Hester to commit adultery. However, it shows how, as "The Scarlet Letter" progresses, Roger Chillingworth becomes more of a pitiful character than an evil one.
From the Paper
"Chillingworth is physically deformed; his shoulders are unnaturally stooped. Once he realizes Hester is pregnant with another man?s child, he is bent on seeking revenge. Chillingworth devotes his power and attention to the degradation of his wife and her lover, using his status as a doctor to assume a mask of respectability. However, his efforts are in vain. The town sees Chillingworth for the leech that he is. Roger Chillingworth is the cold-hearted, nefarious man that Hawthorne paints him out to be, because he favors revenge over truth, justice, and forgiveness. However, Chillingworth thinks, acts, and feels out of pain and jealousy, for he feels his wife has betrayed him. Although Roger Chillingworth is the embodiment of evil in Nathaniel Hawthorne?s novel The Scarlet Letter, he also evokes pity, as he has no inner strength."

"Roger & Me", 2005.
This paper discusses the documentary film "Roger & Me" by Michael Moore, which chronicles the rise and fall of the American auto industry through the eyes of one of General Motor's company towns Flint, Michigan.
2,300 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 70.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike most documentary films, Michael Moore in his film "Roger & Me" uses irony, satire, dry wit and black humor to make his point. He maintains the idea of a documentary by showing real life, which he intersperses with almost ludicrous situations and quotations by those being interviewed. The author points out that Michael Moore, the son of an autoworker, who video-taped the documentary himself, created the "plot" by which Moore attempts to bring General Motor's Chairman of the Board, Roger Smith, to Flint so that he can see firsthand the devastation to people's lives caused by the plant shutdowns. The paper relates that, although the film is biased against General Motors, the film was effective in illustrating Flint's political mentality by showing the futile attempt of the city to throw money at a problem when they haven't a clue as to what to do.
From the Paper
"Beyond that, as Michael Moore states at the beginning of the movie, success is escaping Flint. The lack of a timeline also leaves a question in the determination of the movie's effectiveness. The movie covers several years of time and it is difficult to follow the sequence of events or the time period through which they unfolded. It should have been obvious real soon that GM was not going to reopen the plants, nor assist with any type of transfers or workplace assimilation for the workers from the assembly floor. The political structure of the city must have existed in the clouds, because they seemed to not any idea either as to what could be done. Throwing millions of dollars into a tourism market that did not exist was a waste that should have been foreseen. The opinion voiced by the affluent and the celebrities that the people should "so something" shows a complete lack of empathy for the people involved."

Evaluation of Rogers' Theory of Personality
From the Paper
"As Rogers' theory of personality was compiled by means of his clinical work and his work on client centered therapy there have been questions raised as to how free from professional bias the research is. In any research that is carried out in psychology it is possible that results can be manipulated merely by facial or verbal expressions that are displayed by the researcher. Psychologists have questioned how much of the information in therapy has come from the clients and how much the therapist has influenced the individual."

"The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", 2005.
This paper discusses Amy Gilman Srebnick's "The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers" and the effect of this unsolved murder on society.

Abstract
"This paper explains that the story of Mary Rogers, as told in Amy Gilman Srebnick's "The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", which occurred in the summer of 1841, still lies tangled in mystery because the true cause of her death was never officially discovered. The author points out that her death aided anti-abortionists in making abortion legal in New York State. The paper concludes that her death helped lead eventually to police and criminal court reforms and raised many social issues, which changed the face of New York during this period."
From the Paper
"The last but certainly not the least issue raised by Mary Roger's death was that of the police force. At that time, the police was geared more towards the prevention of crime and not so much solving murders. The fact that no one was ever prosecuted for the death of Mary Rogers led the public to realize the problems with the police force. People criticized the police for only solving crimes for which rewards were offered, and not caring for anything else. This added to the raging political controversy over police reform and the reformation of urban policies and practices. Despite controversy and belief of imminent social decay, violent murders were relatively uncommon in New York during that period."

Carl Rogers, 2006.
A discussion on Carl Rogers' person-centered therapy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Carl Rogers and person centered therapy. Rogers' theory is that an accurate and positive self-concept is critical for the development of self-growth. The paper examines person-centered therapy, a therapy involving a mirroring of the client's expressed experience back to them with an emphasis on the client's immediate conscious experience, the central aim of this therapy is to free the individual by removing obstacles so that the client can become independent and self-directed through normal growth and development. The paper concludes that this approach to therapy would be especially effective for detox counselors, who work to promote a change in behavior for individuals with substance abuse issues, the core of these problems is an inaccurate self-perception that prevents individuals from clearly seeing their true feelings and motivations. The paper suggests that person-centered therapy may enable these individuals to understand where their addiction issues are stemming from and to discover their potential for personal growth and change.
From the Paper
"Rogers explained that there are three distinctive elements that characterize person centered therapy, including predictability, the discovery of the capacity of the client, and the person centered nature of the relationship between the client and the therapist (Rogers, 1946). With regards to predictability, Rogers (1946) described how there is a predictable chain of events that occurs in person-centered therapy that unfolds when certain conditions are met in the therapeutic environment."

Martha E. Rogers, 2007.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of people in healthcare. Specifically, the paper discusses the life of nurse Martha E. Rogers. According to the paper, Martha E. Rogers was a legendary nurse who is credited with creating modern theories which showed nursing was a science and a philosophy blended together.
From the Paper
"Her theories were radical for many reasons. When Rogers published her ideas, nursing and in particular nursing education was still seen as an analytical and mechanical process. It was a complex system that instructors attempted to reduce to many simpler systems when they taught students. Rogers had a more philosophical idea about the role of nurses and how nursing should be taught, which combined many areas of study, from anthropology to mathematics and astronomy. She felt instruction should include humanistic attitudes that would teach nurses to better interact with their patients, thus giving better care and gaining trust at the same time. Ultimately, as patients begin to trust caregivers, they can be more open and honest about their health concerns and the care they are receiving."

Abstract
This paper talks about what happened in Flint, Michigan, how they tried to fix it, how it affected the people who lived there, and includes a comparison of Flint with the writer's hometown. This paper references the movie, "Roger & Me", which was made to show the rest of America how bad it was in Flint, Michigan, during this time.
From the Paper
"In the 1980?s many large businesses and corporations eliminated millions of American jobs, like General Motors did in Flint, Michigan. Corporations did this when they moved their business out of the northeast and to the southwest. This movement was called Sunbelt and many large businesses did it for cheaper labor. They figured why pay someone $18 an hour when you can move to the southwest and pay someone $3 an hour for the same work. This is what happened in Flint, Michigan when General Motors laid off 30,000 of their factory workers."

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Roger Malvin's Burial", 2007.
This paper analyzes "Roger Malvin's Burial" by Nathaniel Hawthorne .

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne is laced with symbolism and symbolic meaning employed by objects, words and character and place names that convey the ideas Hawthorne wants to implant in the reader. The paper portrays how such symbols often work on the reader unconsciously, evoking meaning and memory based on associations the reader has with the words used or even the sounds of the words. The paper analyzes "Roger Malvin's Burial" and highlights the symbolism present in this short story.
From the Paper
"The oak stands as another sign that this is the same place, and the oak also represents the passage of time and the persistence of memory, consience, and sin. When Reuben kills his son and his wife shrieks and falls on the boy's body, the oak acts as if alive: "At that moment, the withered topmost bough of the oak loosened itself, in the stilly air, and fell in soft, light fragments upon the rock, upon the leaves, upon Reuben, upon his wife and child, and upon Roger Malvin's bones" (para. 68). The symbolism is complete as the story makes a full circle and returns to its beginning."

Carl Rogers and Person-Centered Theory, 2007.
This paper examines many aspects of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory.

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory on society. The author also considers the application of the theory as it relates to family, groups, interpersonal relationships, and conflict resolution. The goal of the theory and how its techniques are used in therapy is also discussed. The paper compares person-centered theory to other psychological theories, including a historical perspective. All of these issues are important and significant for a complete understanding of what person-centered theory really is and how it applies to many various facets of life.
From the Paper
"The primary issue in Carl Rogers' person-centered theory is what he terms the "actualizing tendency" (Rogers, 1980). This term refers to what is considered to be the inherent and the immutable tendency of all organisms, of course including human beings, to do many different things, including grow, expand, develop, differentiate, maintain themselves, restore themselves and realize their natures as much as they are able to and as well as they are able to under the circumstances that they are given (Barrett-Lennard, 1998). This actualizing tendency is seen as the basic characteristic of all organic life, including human life. Rogers (1980) expresses these ideas very well in stating that "The actualizing tendency can ... be thwarted or warped, but it cannot be destroyed without destroying the organism" (Rogers, 1980, p. I 19). "
