Abraham Maslow\u27s concept of self actualizaton as illustrated in the life of Jesus

How to be authentic to the self is possibly the main goal of all human efforts. Self-actualization is an urgent and important problem because it is the last stage in shaping a man\u27s personality. In self-actualization, a person becomes more fully developed, more fully mature, indeed, a more complete person by fully actualizing his potentialities. In self actualization, the person lives what he potentially and really is

Creative Thinking In Male And Female Vietnamese, Filipino, And Anglo-American College Undergraduate Students, As Measured By The Torrance Tests Of Creativity

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine (a) the degree of creative thinking of Vietnamese, Filipino, and Anglo-American college undergraduate students as measured by the Torrance tests of Thinking Creatively with Pictures (TCWP), form A, and Thinking Creatively with Words (TCWW), form A; (b) the degree of creative thinking between males and females in the three groups of students tested; and (c) the differences, if any, between the TCWP scores and the TCWW scores of the Vietnamese, Filipino, and Anglo-American college undergraduate students tested. Procedure. A sample of 15 males and 15 females in each ethnic group was randomly selected from the total Vietnamese, Filipino, and Anglo-American college undergraduate students who enrolled in one university and two colleges in Northern California in the Spring semester of the 1979-80 academic year. The TCWP and the TCWW were administered to students in each group; the T-scores were used in the data analyses. Ex post facto design was used in this study because it was not possible to manipulate the independent variables, namely, ethnicity and sex. The level of significance for rejecting the null hypotheses was set at .05. Statistical techniques used in this study were the two-way ANOVA and the Pearson product-moment correlation. Conclusions. The findings of this study indicated that: (a) the Filipino college undergraduate students scored higher on figural Fluency than the Vietnamese college undergraduate students; (b) females had higher figural Fluency scores than males; (c) the Anglo-American college undergraduate students scored higher on figural Flexibility than the Filipino college undergraduate students; (d) males had higher figural Originality scores than females; (e) the Anglo-American college undergraduate students scored higher on figural Elaboration than either the Filipino or the Vietnamese college undergraduate students; (f) there was no correlation between the TCWP scores and the TCWW scores on the factors of Fluency and Flexibility, but a moderate positive correlation was found in the Originality scores among the three ethnic groups tested. Recommendations. (a) Educational instructors and counselors should help their Vietnamese students become better acquainted with taking tests when these students are in the American educational system; (b) Filipino and Vietnamese students should be taught how to study in a democratic educational and political system, to concentrate on divergent thinking rather than on convergent thinking by recalling more verbal interaction between students and students and professors in defending different value positions; (c) additional studies should be conducted using samples of other ethnic groups such as Chinese, Laotian, Korean, and Japanese to verify findings in this study and to further examine cultural differences and the influence of specific cultural traditions; (d) an in-depth study, isolating specific cultural elements in the Vietnamese, Filipino, and American cultures should be undertaken to determine which traditions, mores, and values have the greatest influence on creativity

ILC Reference Design Report Volume 4 - Detectors

This report, Volume IV of the International Linear Collider Reference Design Report, describes the detectors which will record and measure the charged and neutral particles produced in the ILC's high energy e+e- collisions. The physics of the ILC, and the environment of the machine-detector interface, pose new challenges for detector design. Several conceptual designs for the detector promise the needed performance, and ongoing detector R&D is addressing the outstanding technological issues. Two such detectors, operating in push-pull mode, perfectly instrument the ILC interaction region, and access the full potential of ILC physics.This report, Volume IV of the International Linear Collider Reference Design Report, describes the detectors which will record and measure the charged and neutral particles produced in the ILC's high energy e+e- collisions.
