[1] Prolonged unemployment can create
serious psychological problems that, in the long
run, actually contribute to continued joblessness.
[2] In a society that stresses the relationship
between productive work and personal value, it is
easy enough to equate long-term unemployment
with personal worthlessness. [3] That is, in fact,
precisely what many unemployed men and women
begin to do. [4] Out of a job for a year or more,
they begin to see themselves as worthless human
beings, without any value to their society. [5] In
what amounts to a vicious cycle, their sense of
personal worthlessness further diminishes their
chances of gaining employment. [6] Sometimes
they stop looking for work altogether, sure in their
despair that no one would hire them. [7] Or else
they go on interviews, but they present themselves
in such a defeated and hopeless way that the
interviewer cannot help but be unimpressed and
reject their application

In 1922, Lord Carnavron and Howard Carter made
a discovery that shocked and delighted the entire
world of archaeology: they found the fabulous tomb of
King Tutankhamen. Two rooms of the tomb had been
attacked by grave robbers, but the third room had
been left untouched for thousand of years. The room
contained not only the mummy of the eighteen-year-
old king but also hundreds of priceless objects that
provided valuable information about the ancient
Egyptian culture.
Unfortunately the story does not end with the
discovery. Following the opening of the tomb, stories
of the “curse of the Pharaohs” began to circulate, and
many believed that the curse was beginning its awful
work. Lord Carnarvon died suddenly, and for some
that was proof enough. But even more amazing, as the
time went on more than twenty people connected with
the tomb died under mysterious circumstances.
