This essay re-examines Henry James’s complex relationship with Edgar Allan Poe by focusing on the echoes of one of Poe’s most celebrated tales, “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), that later reverberate in James’s “The Aspern Papers” (1888). It highlights the similarities, both in mindset and behavior, between the two stories’ devious and deranged first-person narrators, whose actions result in the death of a fellow human being. It further discusses the narrators’ fear and refusal of their own mortality, which finds expression in their hostility, and barely contained revulsion against a man (in “The Tell-Tale Heart”) and a woman (in “The Aspern Papers”), whose principal defining traits are old age and physical decay.

Family is an important institution to build a person's personality, morality, value and attitude. When this institution communicates properly, it shows the impact e.g. a boy or a girl becomes social human being. Unfortunately in our family gender biasness is reinforced continuously by starting to behave differently with boys and girls from the childhood. Parents communicate with them in a different way which constructs the traits of “masculinity” and “femininity”. Girls are compelled to learn the feminine role with politeness, submissiveness and their mobility is restricted in public world. It is a family which trains a girl to be a good mother, wife, sister or daughter, on the other hand a boy learns to be social, intellectual, able to run the world and strong. This different formation of role and behavior results in the ongoing discrimination everywhere in the society. This reinforcement is sort of relief from social stigmatization but has overall negative impact on life and through this family can be counted as the main birthplace of discrimination against women. Girls and boys must be raised neutrally to eradicate the gender differences and ensure the equality.

The majority of chapters in this book demonstrate clinical aspects of various aspects of old age psychiatry. These accounts tend to focus only on the viewpoints of the healthcare professionals involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and management of the condition. This chapter is different, and provides a first-person account of an anonymous author and his experience of having episodes of depression. The author describes the course of the condition at various times in his life and the various ways in which it has affected him at various stages. This chapter also describes his experiences of treatment and contact with professionals.

AbstractWhich traits of elderly people can symbolize human being - especially of frail, senile elderly people in need of help, not only of those who have remained vital and capable of actively organizing their twilight years? This question is sharpened regarding people willing to learn to experience their transience in view of God and to accept their afflictions and their suffering from old age as God’s action and to let themselves in with the perspective that their biographies will be kept in God’s memory.

Happy is the hope of every human being. Anyone wants their wishes, from birth to old age is reached. Various attempts were made to obtain these desires. Desire is very diverse and keeps changing from time to time. One of the desires of a normal human being is to have a peaceful family full of love and affection for sakinah-mawadah wa rohmah), accompanied by children who are praying and / or praying. And hope that someday their children can become leaders for people, devote, benefit (to be the spreader of love = rahmatan lil ‘alamin) to the surroundings, and be fulfilled by Allah SWT with blessed property. As par- ents, they will definitely try to make their children become successful children. One of the basic capital of success is that children must have a successful ha-racter. The role of parents in the formation and character development of children from an early age is very important for later life. And exemplary has a greater influence on children than advice and speech. A child needs a good ex-ample, and he takes an example from his parents. Therefore he has a tendency to imitate the behavior of people who are liked and try to appear like the per- son who is liked. In the formation and development of children's character, you should use a religious approach because each religion leads to character forma- tion.
