Abstract
This paper takes a look at Albert Bandura and his influence in the field of learning and psychology. The paper reports that his theories are used in a multitude of learning environments, including research environments. This paper focuses on Bandura's learning concept of "self-efficacy".
From the Paper
"This aspect of self-efficacy carries over into a student's writing abilities; and a writer with a "strong sense of confidence" may excel while writing an essay because there will be less apprehension over the quality of what the writer is trying to express. The writer may have some doubts about whether the essay is going to be strong enough (or not), but self-efficacy provides the "resiliency in the face of adversity," Pajares explains."
"There are three ways of measuring writing self-efficacy, Pajares explains; and it should be pointed out that this section of his journal article relates to the pragmatism and potential effectiveness of using the Bandura learning theory in the classroom. Teaching writing is tricky, as any teacher knows, but using Bandura's self-efficacy method with Pajares' brand of in-class planning, could be productive in helping students master (or at least get their arms around) the writing process.

From the Paper
"Although he is no longer a prolific author and researcher, Albert Bandura remains a significant person within the field of psychology.

Today, Social Cognitive Theory stands near or at the forefront of ..."

Albert Bandura and Social Learning, 2006.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses concepts relating to social learning. The writer examines the various ways in which different people function within society. The writer points out that Bandura had a particular theory regarding this concept, and determined that the individual's behavior was the result of the manner that the person processed information based on cognitive and environmental influences.
From the Paper
"Various theorists have attempted to develop concepts on how individuals within the social order learn. This has been an important topic because of the manner in which different people function within society. For example, the habitual criminal may not always learn from a jail sentence that his or her conviction related to crime was a result of the individual's behavioral patterns that may have been learned in childhood. Yet, if this is the case, criminal justice entities, as well as psychological therapists have a method of understanding the behavior and treating it."

Freud and Bandura "Analyze This", 2006.

Abstract
The author seeks to show how Sigmund Freud's personality theory and Albert Bandura's competing theory can help shed light on contemporary theater, including the 1999 film "Analyze This", about Paul Vitti, a mob figure who experiences guilt over "whacking" his enemies. The writer believes that while Freud would contend that Paul Vitti's ID and ego have taken over his life, Bandura would insist that the internal and external are heavily interrelated, and inextricable from one another.
From the Paper
"Freud would remark that Paul Vitti's id and ego have taken over, and his superego is dormant. His actions are largely, if not completely, devoid of ethical considerations. Murder, beatings and extortion are part of Paul Vitti's day. However, the more sympathetic Bandura would offer that Paul Vitti's behavior is learned, since as mob boss, we infer that he grew up with the mob."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the life of Albert Gallatin Boone and the impact he had on American society during the 19th century. It recounts his birth into the already influential Boone family, which had risen to become an integral part of the settlement of the westernmost territories then in existence, those of modern-day Kentucky and the edges of Missouri and Kansas. The paper relates that Albert Boon, being the grandson of Daniel Boone would ultimately be placed in a position to be a direct contributor to an opening of the gateway of the west. The paper discusses the role Albert Boone played in two of the nation's greatest formative struggles, between colonists and natives and, soon thereafter, between the North and South of the splintering Union. To conclude, the paper recounts the final achievements in Albert Boone's life, serving as postmaster general for a town which he founded in Pueblo County, originally called Booneville.

Boone's Later Years and Legacy
From the Paper
"A young Albert Gallatin Boone, as a third generation man from a family of some reputation, was possessed of an extensive education both in academics and in the practical aspects of survival in the American wilderness. His personal development as an enterpriser in the Missouri territory began in earnest when "at age 17 he joined the second of the Ashley-Henry trapping parties out of St. Louis to the Upper Missouri hunting grounds." (WHS, 1) This initiated him into the rugged lifestyle that had been his grandfather's and also opened his eyes to the opportunities which still lay ahead of settlers in America. As a man whose natural inclinations were a combination of political passion and entrepreneurial instincts, Albert's expeditionary experience would have a direct impact on the future of his career, both for better and for worse."

Abstract
This paper discusses what makes Albert Einstein a hero. The writer claims that according to the definitions in Webster's Dictionary, Einstein was indeed a hero of the world community. The paper gives examples from the life and work of Albert Einstein to show that, unlike heroes of legend, Einstein was a modern hero.
From the Paper
"Because of the anti-semitism he experienced and his dislike of the German military character, Einstein renounced his German citizenship in 1896 and was granted Swiss citizenship in 1901. He attended college in Zurich graduating in 1900 as a teacher of mathematics. In 1905 he earned a doctorate from the University of Zurich. It was also in 1905 that he wrote his revolutionary paper on the special theory of relativity. By 1909 he was recognized as a leading scientific thinker. In 1914 he returned to Germany to take up a prestigious research post. Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921 not for his theory of relativity but for his work on the photoelectric effect. He accepted a post at Princeton University and came to the United States in 1932, becoming a citizen in 1940 (Mathematicians/Einstein)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, out of all the Nazi leaders aligned with Adolph Hitler, Albert Speer stands out as one of the greatest mysteries. It attempts to discover how such a refined, well-educated man, from such a good background, ended up as second-in-command to one of the century?s most abusive and tyrannical despots. Through a review of his autobiography, "Inside the Third Reich: Memoirs", it shows how, although he was born to a wealthy family, well-educated, son of a respected architect, and trained as an architect, Speer seems a tremendous misfit when compared to the army private who terrorized the entire Western world for more than decade.
From the Paper
"Speer acknowledged that he quickly came to accept events that most people would have been appalled by. Early in Speer?s new career, Hitler ordered Speer to remodel a building immediately. One official by the name of Papen asked for a few months? time, and Speer reported this back to Hitler. Hitler was enraged, so Speer began one of Papen?s assistants had been executed in his office. Speer, supervising the renovations, saw the blood on the floor, but was strangely unmoved by the sight. This suggests to the reader that it wasn?t really much of a stretch for Speer to accept what many people would have found entirely unacceptable. Nevertheless, the irresistible draw the architectural opportunities had for him clearly were immense."

Albert Ellis, 2008.
A biography of the life, work and theories of psychologist Albert Ellis.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Albert Ellis falls under the school of thought of cognitivists and how Ellis' rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) is a misnomer suggestive of a behaviorist orientation of his therapeutic methods. The paper then examines how, unlike the behavioralists' perspective, Ellis' ideas do not dwell on behaviors per se, but rather on the cognitive processes (i.e. irrational beliefs), which can give rise to these behaviors.
Outline:
School of Thought
Contributions to Personality Psychology
Occurrences During the Individual's Lifetime
Application in the Workplace
From the Paper
"Ellis' pragmatic perspective on therapy may draw heavily from his experiences growing up and working prior to and during the Great Depression. Growing up, Ellis was a sickly child, suffering from a chronic kidney disease that forced him to be more bedridden than physically active. In spite of this, he was also forced to work, along with his siblings in order to help the rest of his family. In spite of these life circumstances, Ellis did not allow them to negatively influence him (Dobkin, 2005). As he grew up, other seemingly frustrating life circumstances such as his short-lived stint as an entrepreneur and prolific, albeit unpublished fiction writer and the Great Depression failed to deter him from pursuing the latter as an equally prolific non-fiction writer, which would eventually lead to his pursuit of counseling as an interest and training under the psychoanalytic school of thought (Boeree, 2006)."

Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines two modern day theorists that have had a major impact on psychology--Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck. Ellis is known as the founder of rational-emotive therapy and Beck is known as the founder of cognitive therapy. The paper evaluates how both Ellis and Beck are inspirational for their approaches to therapy, for the therapies they pioneered and for the impact these therapies have had. It considers both the approaches and the therapies of Ellis and Beck in turn.
From the Paper
"Ellis's theory is based on the belief that psychological problems are caused by irrational beliefs that people have gained by some experience in the past. These irrational beliefs cause people to overreact to situations. In one work describing how the theory is applied, Ellis offers the example of a woman who is rejected by her partner. According to Ellis, if the woman has emotional difficulties she responds to this rejection in an excessive way. Instead of thinking that it is undesirable to be rejected she believes she is a worthless person because she is rejected and believes that she will never be accepted by anyone (Ellis, 1979). To deal with these emotional problems, Ellis proposed rational-emotive therapy. This therapy is based on the idea that the therapist's role is to teach the individual to think logically. Unlike many therapists, Ellis did not believe that the patient should guide their own thinking."
