Abstract: Environmental ethics actually attempts to block or resist the web of anthropocentrism (man centered ethics). Anthropocentrism claims human mastery over the nature and so instead of that it voices in favor of non-anthropocentrism where the concept of environmental justice is established by way of paying equal values to all natural communities. In this regard, various environmental theories in the name of biocentrism, eco-centrism, Cosmo-centrism, deep ecology, shallow ecology have been developed. The present paper is an attempt to explain deep ecological movement is an extreme form of non-anthropocentrism and it may be thought of as the ultimate destination of environmental ethics. Deep ecology invites man-nature relationship. It tries to build bridge between man and nature and thereby claims our love and respect to nature.

Abstract: Stress does not always have a negative effect, because sometimes it can have an effect on helping and stimulating the individual to behave positively. Stress in writing the thesis can also be positive and negative. Positive stress makes students become passionate in writing the thesis, to be motivated to write a better thesis. Negative stress makes the students become lazy in writing the thesis, loss of motivation, postpone the thesis writing and some even not to finish it. There is a very significant relationship between self-efficacy with the stress in completing the thesis. This result is proved by the correlation coefficient of rxy = 0,464; p < 0.050. This means that the higher the self-efficacy, then this will reduce the stress in completing the individual's thesis. On the contrary, the lower the self-efficacy is then this will increase the stress in completing the individual's thesis. Based on the research result conducted on the students of the Faculty of Psychology, University of Medan Area, the suggested hypothesis is accepted.

Abstract: Widows the world over suffer marginalization and discrimination. Sexuality is one of the areas in which widows are discriminated. A global survey on the sexual situation of widows reveals that there is a general infringement on widows‟ sexuality in many traditions and cultures.
