The Application of Lawrence Kohlberg’s Moral Level Theory and Erik Erikson’s Personality Stages Theory in Regards to the Character of Rachel in Barbara Kingsolver’s Novel “The Poisonwood Bible”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Kohlberg and Erikson’s developmental stages as reflected in Rachel from “The Poisonwood Bible”. In Barbara Kingsolver’s 1999 novel “The Poisonwood Bible” the fifteen year old daughter, Rachel, reflects primarily Lawrence Kohlberg’s “conventional” level of moral reasoning and the progression from Erik Erikson’s “identity versus role confusion” (stage 5) to “intimacy versus isolation” (stage 6) levels of personality development. Rachel is considered the most self-absorbed of the characters within the novel and because of this her perspective remains primarily a selfish one and how her family’s environment and values impact her life and development. However, from Rachel, readers can also see a development in her awareness of her surroundings and although she remains still fairly self-absorbed she at least realizes how little impact her and her family and their Christian intentions have on the social and physical environment of the Congo showing a maturity of her moral and personal development. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Barnum Effect
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper offering a discussion of a small study done to determine the relationship between locus of control (internal or external) with the practice of following daily horoscopes. P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, "There's a sucker born every minute." Henry Ford expanded on this in saying that there was a posterior for every seat, though he expressed the thought in more vernacular terms. The Barnum Effect is that which is seen to be an individual's response to a flattering or positive generalization that can be true for many but that we believe has been designed specifically for us. The study finds that those with an internal locus of control are less likely to place credence in generalized daily horoscopes such as those found in daily newspapers and on the Internet.
