![The Incredibles Film Analysis
The Incredibles starts with a TV montage which presents some of the period s big
heroes such as Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson), Elastigirl (Holly
Hunter), and Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson). All of them explain how they cope with
their lives as superheros, admitting that they feel like [a] maid [who] just cleaned up
[the] mess (Bird 2004, 01:33). They differentiate from the rest of society by means
of their special abilities; they are unique. However, 15 years later, the government
initiates a Superhero Relocation Program , under which superheroes were granted
amnesty from past actions under the promise to never again resume hero work in
order to become average people (11:13). Therefore, the movie portrays a shift in the
attitude of society towards superheroes as a result of their increasingly negative
reputation This event is connected to American Exceptionalism in terms that
whenever American leaders refer to the unique responsibilities of the United States,
they are saying that it is different from other powers and that these differences require
them to take on special burdens (Walt 2011).... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Nevertheless, each country is unique in his own way but by using the phrase
exceptional , Americans seem to mean that their country is more and unique than
others (Restad 2014, 10). This vision is also established in some of the members of
the Parr family; for instance, Dash mentions that [their] powers made [them] special .
However, his mother, Helen, (Elastigirl) asserts that everyone s special (15:31). She

![The Incas and the Aztecs Essay
The Incas and the Aztecs Before the Spanish and Portuguese discovered the New
World, there were many groups of people already living in South and Central
America. Two of these groups were the Incas and the Aztecs. The Incas lived mainly
in Peru, and the Aztecs lived mainly in what is today Mexico City. Although these
two groups probably never came on contact with one another, they had many similar
traits. This is probably partly because of the influences on them by traveling tribes. It
is more likely that the similarities of the tribes are based on the similar conditions

In the sacrificial ceremonies they would sacrifice either people or animals. Some
other occasions for a sacrificial ceremony were deliverance from draught, plague,
earthquakes, or defeat in war[1]. In these religious ceremonies, they used beautiful
statues and jewelry, usually made of gold. These pieces were crafted by the artisans,
who were in the sixth social class, yet had a very important job. The Incas knew their
respective jobs, and they loved working. There were many holidays to show
reverence to the gods when the people wouldn t have to work; yet many of them
chose to work anyway. The Incas kept records on quipus, colored strings with
knots tied in them. Only specially trained people could decode them, so no records
of the Incas are known. The largest social class of the Incas was the laborers. They
were at the bottom of the totem pole, but they were the most important. The Incas
are known for their superb architecture, bridges, roads and aqueducts, some of which
still stand today. The architectural laborers were just as skilled as the quipu
decoders, just in a different way. They could carve slabs so well that nothing was
used to join them when making a building. They were so intricate that they fit
together perfectly, and this was hard at the time because of the](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/anessayonreading-240206114055-6aa67e8d/75/An-Essay-On-Reading-pdf-25-2048.jpg)

Moreover, articulating the profound impact of reading on one's life requires a delicate dance with words. Expressing the transformative power of literature and the intricate dance between reader and text demands a nuanced approach. The writer must grapple with the task of conveying emotions, thoughts, and philosophical musings in a way that resonates with a diverse audience. Additionally, delving into the historical significance of reading, its evolution through various eras, and its societal implications adds another layer of complexity. Ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted nature of reading involves extensive research and meticulous attention to detail.

Cultural Imperialism AndGlobalization Globalisation is the process of interconnectedness and the integration of national and regional culture, economies, and society through the global network of communication, immigration, transportation and trade (Financial Times Lexicon, 2017). According to Reiche (2014), globalisation did not mean much in the past fifty years. It could be primarily focused on the trade and also foreign direct investment which are the economic side of the world but it has been expanded to a broader range which including media, culture, technology, trades and political factors nowadays. Although globalisation is considered as a wide range nowadays, it still can be classified as four main characteristics which are stretched social relations, intensification of flows, increasing interpenetration, and global infrastructure (Held, 2004). However, cultural imperialism has the most typical impacts on globalisation.

Feminism In JaneEyre During the nineteenth century women were often put down by society and not seen as equals to men, causing women to lack self respect for themselves and seek self confirmation from their religion. Feminism became a prominently emerging concept in literature as a way to show the views of women. Feminism is the advocacy of women s rights on the basis of the equalityof the sexes. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte BrontГ« uses feminismas a tool to shine light on these issues faced by women at the time. The inequality between men and women has become very apparent, creating a large effect on the premise of the novel. Jane Eyre has been discussed for many years in the academic community how BrontГ« incorporated feminism effectively in her novel. As can be seen in Emily Griesinger s article, Charlotte BrontГ« s Religion: Faith, Feminism, and Jane Eyre, feminism plays an important role in BrontГ« s depiction of a young heroine s journey towards self realization. Griesinger shows an accurate depiction of how feminism plays a part in women s fight for equality, self respect, and the part it plays in religion during this era. Feminism is most prominently exhibited in Jane s views of the equality between men and women. It is fairly early in the novel when BrontГ« first shows Janes ideas on the comparison of genders, saying, Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do;

The Ironic HeiraHierarchy In Measure For Measure There is a certain structure of control between the characters in Shakespeare s Measure for Measure that continually shifts, and never is this more pronounced than in the relationship/dialogues between Angelo and Isabella. This structure creates a back and forth balance of power and not only affects the dynamics between both characters, but more important, influences the development of the story. Control is also, at least attempted, to be manifested externally by Angelo in his desires to control with an iron fist unlike his predecessor, and Isabella in choosing to join a nunnery and lead a chaste life away from the hedonism exhibited by the characters we meet in Vienna. Control is also questionable when it seems internally lost by these characters... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

She tells Angelo a truth about his position of power, which runs parallel to his own aforementioned realization of it after having met Isabella, and how he immediately thinks to manipulate and abuse it to his advantage. According to David K. Weiser s article, The Ironic Heirarchy in Measure for Measure: Angelo is concerned only with the abstract crime committed and the need for absolute decorum: There shall be order for t (II.ii.24). Self righteousness and irony are very different things, of course. But as ironic as his actions may initially seem, he does however exhibit truth when confronted by the power of the Duke when sentenced at the end of the play.

Then, Isabel live chaste, and brother die: More than our brother is our chastity. (II, iv, 184 86) But surprises us all at the end by giving up her chaste lifestyle and marries the

For example, on a shelf, there are three baby dolls and their matching clothes. Children interact each other by asking questions such as, Baby is hungry. What can I do? Another childsaid, I will show you. She used her baby bottle to pretend feeding a baby. There is big open floor space in the back of the room for the children to play freely. Children were playing with blocks and cars on that open floor. Some were playing with Kapla on a low table with one caregiver. Other children were sitting at the carpet, listening a story.

There were two things that made him stand out from many of the bluegrass artists. Those things were his original voice and his unique way of picking the banjo. Mr. Stanleys mother bought him his first banjo for five dollars when he was around 15 or 16. His mother taught him to play clawhammer style on the banjo and later in life he developed his own style from this strumming style.

After spending many hours just listening to the songs played I discovered many different styles, melodies, harmonies, voices, and instruments. There were two songs in this album that were a trio that consisted of Ralph Stanley, Vince Gill, and Patty Loveless.

The mix of Ralph Stanley s high pitch unique voice, Vince Gills soft, smooth tone, and Patty Loveless honky tonk style blended very well. Some other instruments besides the banjo were guitar, fiddle, and the mandolin. To no surprise, all of these instruments are very prone to being involved in the bluegrass genre. From the many different voices that were included in this album, they each had at least a little piece of originality to them. You can definitely hear belting from some of the older people simply because of when they began singing and how they got used to singing loud without amplification

Pawn Sacrifice is a movie about the real life story of Bobby Fischer and his rise from a child prodigy to a chess legend. Tobey Maguire is an unconventional casting as Fischer but grows onto the audience as he delivers one of his strongest performance. Maguire is riveting in portraying the ever abrasive and prejudicial Fischer. Fischer is unquestionably a genius but a very difficult person to like and get along with, which Maguire gets across brilliantly. The movie is set during Cold War era presents a fine view of the link between the genius of Fischer and his mental illness.

The game of the century between Fischer and Spassky could have provided some really tense moments but sadly the film has a disappointing endgame and misses out on a magical moment. Any ardent chess fan watching this movie would be disappointed in the portrayal of Fischer as the movie focus more on his paranoia and anti semitic views (Fischer himself is a jew). Viewers will be frustrated by the movie as Zwick sets up the movie beautifully but fails to deliver on the endgame and does not go for the kill. The movie is partly about Fischer and fails to identify itself. Pawn Sacrifice is neither a Chess movie neither a biopic nor a documentary. Sadly it turns out to be a one dimensional dramatization aimed at appeasing all. However the movie does a wonderful job in showcasing that Fischer s true nemesis were not the Soviets or Spassky but

I am not in a hurry. Scrunch down, I say. I d get in trouble for picking you up. (Pancake 86). As the narrator picks up different hitchhiker s on his route regularly, he always ask them to scrunch down when Mr.Weeks is coming. He does this so he would never end up being a suspect in a murder case because he would have his witness, in this case Mr. Weeks. As the trip continues, the hitchhiker brings up the amount of hitchhikers being killed in their region. Midway through the conversation the narrator says, I grip the wrench. Look under the seat for my flashlight, boy. He bends forward, grabbing under the seat, and his head is turned from me. But I am way too tired now, and I don t want to clean the seat (Pancake 87). In this instant, readers can assume the narrator is the person who kills all the hitchhikers and possibly even his wife. Of course the narrator could have never been the killer this whole time but there is too much evidence against him in this case so readers have to assume the

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism known as NIH, discusses how alcoholic beverages affects a person s brain, heart, and liver. Also, the NIH explains how alcohol abuse can lead to cancer in the mouth, esophagus, breast, liver, pharynx, and larynx. It has been noted that alcohol abuse can cause the immune system of a person to weaken (NIH, 2010).

The judicial system was originally created to punish the perpetrators of serious crimes, such as murder, rape or assault and aid the community and other people involved in their recovery. Nowadays, the leaders of many countries and the citizens within them seem to have lost that view. Gone are the days where only the worst of the worst were sentenced to their life and here are the days where people are lucky to get away from a car accident without jail time. Statistics have proven that crimerates in Canada, and some surrounding countries, are going down, but more people are going to jail what for?

In the years from 1900 to 1914, this nationalism caused the key problems of mistrust and suspicion between the two great powers of Austria Hungary and Russia, who s conflicting national interests concerning the Balkan states arose from mutual distrust and desire to gain influence in the area and brought to the surface the conflicting national interests of the two countries within ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Russians had not got what the wanted, and a great face loss had been sustained. The first Balkan war of 1912 was a conflict between the Balkan league of states and their crumbling former Turkish occupiers. The Balkan countries involved, driven by a fierce nationalism, succeeded in defeating the Turks, and thus the problem of insecurity about influence in the Balkans between Austria Hungary was exacerbated. The goals of Austria Hungary were to ensure that the loss of Turkish control in the Balkans didn t result in any strong Balkan nations that could generate nationalist agitation in its own territories. This fear resulted din the creation of the state of Albania, which prevented Serbian access to the sea. The goal of Russia was much at odds with this, as gaining support in the Balkans would coincide nicely with their ideals of Pan Slav nationalism and their desires for a port on the Adriatic. Closely tied with Serbia, the Russians were unhappy with the creation of Albania by the Austria Hungary. The Treaty of London of may 1913, an attempt to soothe the issue created by Great Britain and moderated by Germany, approved the creation of Albania. The Russians economically dampened and with opposition from Germany and Great Britain regarding the issue, did not give Serbia support and war over the Balkans was prevented.

William Shakespeare s As You Like It As a Study of Perception and Misperception The concepts of perception and misperception are common themes in many of Shakespeare s plays and can be found in his comedies, tragedies and histories alike. Shakespeare explores these often parallel elements through several different forms in his work, such as disguise, mistaken identity and blindness, and events caused by these can lead to amusing, confusing or sometimes tragic consequences, depending on the nature of the plays themselves.

The forest of Arden is a particular example of how the perception of the same thing can vary greatly between different people in As You Like Itand can change completely in the mind of one person. The forest is the place to which Rosalind s father, Duke Senior, is banished, and to which Rosalind and Celia flee following the wrath of Celia s father, Duke Frederick. Indeed, it is the setting for much of the action in the play and comes to mean several things to several characters. The forest represents nature in the standard opposition between that and civilisation, which is represented by the other setting in the play, the court. Arden is perceived by characters such as Duke Senior and his followers as an idyllic and uncorrupted place, whereas the civilised world is seen as irrationally cruel and ruined by humankind. The Duke expresses this with his speech eulogising the forest, hath not old custom made this life more sweet than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods more free from peril than the envious court?…this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books

One example: is a thief getting ahold of another s person s social security and driver s license numbers and using that information to get a credit card or to buy a car. Anyone can become a victim of this crime because of the sheer countless ways for a person to steal another s identity. Every state has different requirements for a crime to constitute as identity theft. For example: In Wisconsin: Identity theft is defined as Unauthorized use of an individual s personal identifying information or documents, require that a person s identifying information or personal identification document be used without the person s consent to obtain money, credit, goods, services, employment and anything in general of value, (Knetzger, Muraski, 2009). In other wards, identity theft is simply the theft and use of personal or identifying information for your own agenda without the consent of the owner of said information. In July of 2014: A Missouri man by the name of Terry Lee Morrow Jr, was convicted of stealing the identities of his customers who frequented his car dealership. He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for his crimes in which have been labeled as the largest identity theft case in Missouri.

Hobbes Locke AndRousseau The outliers of the political spectrum retain on one side, a political society without civil obedience to directives contained in human laws that devolves into lawlessness. On the opposite side, a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life. Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau each philosophically slide across this spectrum in attempting to determine liberty s margin of error. Where the State of Nature enacts liberty as a right to self preservation, attempting to formulate the functional line between the Right of Nature and the Right of the Sovereign . For Thomas Hobbes, his worldview consisted of a violent place, with men as sordid and erratic masses,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, modern US Presidents (Congress) have adopted the Hobbesian approach to social contract agreement as all persons except the new sovereign abandon full use of their powers and hence to permit the thus created sovereign to make full use of his power without being hindered by his subjects . For example, when Obama s executive order that organizations who do not support the LGBT agenda under the heading of nondiscrimination cannot receive a business contract with the federal government, this is unconstitutional under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Therefore, as the unconstitutional conditions doctrine provides that no American can be required to forfeit their rights in order to do business with the federal government, Obama s executive law violates the Constitutional social contract. As Locke stated, each person in the State of Nature is the executioner of the Law of Nature. Nevertheless, each person has the right to delegate that executive power to some other person or organization. This right of delegation allows for the formation of political societies by consent. Now, Americans delegate their laws to Congress for establishing norms for personal and community life not the executive branch of government consequently, separating the legislative and executive powers. However, giving up the right to religious discrimination, Rousseau would deem an invalid contract, by which one sells oneself into moral slavery. Today, a Hobbesian moral relativism espousing divine like commands permeates new unconstitutional laws enacted for social justice. However, Locke argued, Liberty in general is the best protection against tyranny

In these religious ceremonies, they used beautiful statues and jewelry, usually made of gold. These pieces were crafted by the artisans, who were in the sixth social class, yet had a very important job. The Incas knew their respective jobs, and they loved working. There were many holidays to show reverence to the gods when the people wouldn t have to work; yet many of them chose to work anyway. The Incas kept records on quipus, colored strings with knots tied in them. Only specially trained people could decode them, so no records of the Incas are known. The largest social class of the Incas was the laborers. They were at the bottom of the totem pole, but they were the most important. The Incas are known for their superb architecture, bridges, roads and aqueducts, some of which still stand today.

They narrowly escape death and act as if they are immortal. This is reality on the Penguins of Madagascar show, but not all penguins can be like these special four, moreover be immortal. Penguins have different lifespans, and do not stay alive forever. Throughout their lives, they give birth, but also see some of their closest friends pass away. For example, the Falkland Islands started with 1000 penguins, but with the births and deaths each year, the population is becoming hard to keep track of. This is where math comes in handy. A formula can be used to calculate the population each year. If each couple has a chick every spring, and the penguins only die due to natural causes, a formula to keep track of the population is 1000 multiplied by the quantity of 1.2 raised to the power x.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If each of the 1000 penguins mate, 500 chicks will be born. Adding 1000 and 500 will get 1500, the total number of penguins after birth. It is known that 0.2 of the penguins die, or 0.8 of them stay alive. If 0.8 is multiplied by 1500, the total is 1200. This represents the penguin population for the first year after the births and deaths are accounted for. Going through one more year can make the formula clearer. The next year starts with a population of 1200. After mating, 600 chicks are born. Adding 1200 and 600 will get 1800. Multiplying this by 0.8 will get 1440 penguins, the population for the second year. Taking a closer look, one can see that 1440 is 1200 multiplied by 1.2, and 1200 is 1000 multiplied by 1.2. Cleaning this up, one can conclude that 1440 is 1000 multiplied by 1.2 squared, and 1200 is 1000 multiplied by

The reason Sartre s definition of Hell can t be people is that there are too many outliers in our society to narrow it down to that one definition. The situation in No Exit is different, however, because Garcin, Inez, and Estelle think Hell is supposed to be the place where evil people belong, and consequently think of each other as bad for being in the same place. Their curiosity gets the better of them, and they demand to know why they re together the way they are, so Garcin says, So long as each of us hasn t made a clean breast of it why they ve damned him or her we know nothing. Nothing that counts. You, young lady, you shall begin. Why? Tell us why. As they take turns coming out with the sinful deeds they think damned them to Hell, the disgusted reactions of the other two listening to them is what coaxes them into argument out of self defense. If these three hadn t been so compelled to unearth the faults of others instead of facing their own, they might have enjoyed each other s company rather than go as far to say, Hell is other people!

Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness and Natasha Trethewey s Native Guard include bodies to represent a lacking of vitality for humanity. In Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad uses bodies to symbolize the inferiority of those that are believed to be lower class. Conrad demonstrates how imperialism affects the bodies of the inferior natives in CongoAfrica. Trethewey uses Native Guard to describe her mother s tragic death that is caused by abuse. Both Conrad and Trethewey relate bodies to the mistreatment of inferior figures by uncivilized, powerful forces. Conrad s Heart of Darknessillustrates how the power from the imperialism that the Europeans have causes them to treat the native people of Congo Africa as slaves and as bodies that are meant for work. Conrad expresses the horrors of the Europeans toward the natives of Congo through the state of the natives bodies. Conrad describes the Congo as though it is a graveyard for all of the natives that are being treated as slaves by the Europeans. The natives in the setting are characterized as living inferior to the Europeans that come to conquer the land. In Envisioning Africa: Racism and Imperialism in Conrad s Heart of Darkness, Peter Firchow examines Heart of Darkness and the allegations of racism against the novel. In response to Heart of Darkness, Firchow states how Conrad s own experiences to Africa may play a role in his perception of the Congo and Africa in general. Firchow focuses on how Conrad draws racism into Heart of Darkness by exploring misrepresentations of Africa and Africans . The misrepresentations of Africans include how the natives are assumed to be weak and poor although their type of civilization is the opposite of the Europeans and of Conrad s. The poor state the Africans are assumed by the Europeans to be a call for help. Misrepresentations of Africa are further described as being an opportunity to explore one s hidden, dark inner self.

This law did help combat the oppression in the South, but the oppression never fully ended. From the early 1870s onward, white supremacy gradually died down. However, there still were many oppression supporters by the end of 1876, even though, the entire south was under Democratic control once again. Despite all the positive changes in the South, oppression still existed and the KKK still managed to harm many African Americans. The African Americanpeople learned how to avoid the racism, and oppression. Within the First World War, much of the focus was taken off of African Americans. The prejudice never fully stopped, but the culture became more prevalent. This is most seen in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.

I hope to accomplish this by specifically addressing how certain concepts within his Theology, when embraced or applied, can begin to relieve western Christianity s concern for remaining relevant . I will also present some of Tillich s theological ideas concerning his Christology, characteristics of a symbol, and concept of God as a symbol. I. The Christology of Tillich: Jesus as the Christ Tillich suggests in the article A Reinterpretation of the Doctrine of the Incarnation that Christians do not have a purely historiographical interest in the man known as Jesus, but a thriving interest in the Christ. He elaborates by saying the reports about Jesus of Nazareth found in the gospels are the reports of Jesus as the Christ, not just a man. Tillich finds that mere historical research cannot tear down the foundation of Christianity because there is immense power in the symbol of Christ (a topic later discussed in the essay). Tillich, despite what many assume, consistently presented Jesus as the Christ. It is true that Tillich wrote articles with titles such as A Reinterpretation of the Doctrine of the Incarnation (which shocked many Protestant leaders in the late 1940 s). However, Tillich reinterpreted Doctrine in an attempt to reveal the truths that he believed were at

The Discovery OfInterstellar Travel The idea of interstellar travel was explored methodically in order to answer why one would want to travel to other stars, where in space could humanity realistically travel to, what factors are preventing mankind from reaching these stars and how can they could be overcome. The inquisitiveness of the human mind and the fact that Earth will not be habitable forever is a substantial motivation in favour of interstellar travel. The main requirement for a habitable planetis that it is in the Habitable Zone where it is not too close nor too far from the starit is orbiting, but is situated where the water on the surface of the planet is in liquid form. There are many issues that limit one s ability to travel to the stars. The most significant issue being the vast distances between the stars and the time it would take for the journey to be complete, which would permanently damage the human body. The most promising rocket that could handle the voyage would be a nuclear rocket, however there are still many developments that need to be made in that field to render it a strong possibility. One of the biggest reasons as to why humanity wishes to explore interstellar travel is to fuel its curiosity. Civilization would not be where it is today if it wasn t for the previous species desire to discover more about the universe in which they lived. Many speculate that the idea of voyaging across the universe to other stars is straightforward as it portrayed this way in

With these tools, including The Four Topos elements, The Three Matter of Facts, and The Three Appeals, literature can be broken down into segments allowing the reader to get a complete understanding of the purpose for that specific piece. Throughout the course, we have navigated through various essays that could all be examples of these top ten tools. However, certain essays better illustrate specific tools, which can be used as examples to define the true meaning of a literary tool. Pertaining to The Four Topos, the first literary tool of Definition can be defined as the displaying of the major idea of the essay. By definition, the reader can analyze the true...

Throughout an argument, the elements of Logos, Ethos and Pathos are present in some fashion. The use of Logos focuses on the persuasion through evidence aspect. An author who understands that they have the Matter of Fact and Policy on their side typically uses logos. Logos is typically not something an author strives to use, but is apparent to the reader. An example for a logos essay would be Susan Brownmiller s essay, Let s Put Pornography Back in the Closet . One way that this essay provides logos type qualities is by the clear reasoning that she gives, along with the evidence she provides to defend her side. She effectively acknowledges the opposing side of the argument as well as providing reasonable claims that address specific cases such as the Miller v. California case in

Leptin works to inhibit the effects of appetite stimulating hormones while stimulating the effects of hormones such as corticotrophin releasing factor that suppress appetite stimulations. 5 Sensory pathways bringing in information from the blood and CSF to the hypothalamus, have their first order neurons in the ARC. It contains the neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti related protein (AgRP) neurons and the pro opiomelanocortin (POMC)/cocaine and amphetamine related transcript (CART) neurons which play a role in the simulation of food intake. 6 Serotonin signaling in the central nervous system produces hyophagia through its effects on the suppression of food intake. The anorexigenic 5HT2C receptor is largely expressed in the hypothalamus, particularly in the POMC neurons of the arcuate nucleus where stimulation of PMOC neural activity via this receptor results in hypophagia and weight loss. 7 5HT is a potent satiety signaler with 5 HT1A and 5 HT2C receptors as the prime mediators of 5HT in regulating food intake. The action of serotonin on these receptors confers opposing results. Binding of serotonin on 5 HT1A increases food intake while 5HT2C decreases it. Serotonin when produced in the CNS acts as a neurotransmitter, however a large proportion of serotonin
- 46. Hurricane Katrin DisasterResponse And Recovery System Hurricane Katrina has been noted as one of the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in US history. This paper will exam the city of New Orleans and the preparation, response, and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This catastrophic event shaped the US disaster response and recovery system. The city of New Orleans is the most populated city in state of Louisiana. Due to the geographical location, the city was at a significant risk for flooding. New Orleans was originally settled on the natural levees, along the Mississippi River. The Flood Control Act of 1965, authorized the United States Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct numerous flood control projects including the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project in the New Orleans region of south Louisiana ([PUBLIC LAW 89 298 OCT. 27, 19). Following the implementation of the act, the US Army Corps of Engineers built floodwalls and man made levees to provide security against flooding. In the subsequent aftermath of Katrina, studies have shown that the levees were improperly built and flood water levels estimates were inaccurate during the initial planning phases and development. As a result, when Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August, 29 2005 the storm caused a breach in the levees which resulted in 80% of the city flooding. Over 20 feet of water covered certain parts of the city and New Orleans was declared a disaster area that required extensive recovery operations. operations.
- 47. How Dysphagia IsA Common Complication Of Dysphagia Essay Introduction Dysphagia is defined as a difficulty moving food from the mouth to the stomach. Dysphagia can come and go or slowly worsen over time depending on the other disorders present. When a person has a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), dysphasia can appear and later go away. If a progressive neurological impairment is the cause of the dysphagia, the swallowing problems can worsen over time and never go away (Logemann, 1998). Dysphagia is a commonly diagnosed for at least a short time after a CVA has occurred and individuals are more likely to aspirate liquids with a lower viscosity (Murray et al. 2016). Increasing the viscosity, or thickening liquids, is a common strategy that individuals diagnosed with dysphagia use as a compensatory strategy. Changing the viscosity of liquids by adding thickeners helps keep the bolus together and slows down the rate of dispersion in the oral and pharyngeal cavities. This helps the individual reduce their risk of aspirating when swallowing the liquid (Murray et al., 2016). However, dehydration is a common complication of dysphagia. Hydration is a process of maintaining a balance of water in the body. Half of our water intake is through drinking beverages including water (Sharpe et al., 2007). The standard daily fluid intake for individuals is 1500 mL per day. However, many individuals who are in acute care do not meet this daily standard (McGrail et al., 2012). The lack of fluid intake in individuals can impact their
- 48. Organizations That CanImpact Human Performance 1.0 Introduction There are many facets within organisations that can impact human performance. Ergonomic interventions are responsible for workplace designs such as displays, ease of use and aesthetics for example. However, for organisations to develop a holistic approach to performance management, they need to consider theories associated with social factors . Social factor is the study of human interaction and how those interactions can affect both human and safety performance. Topics for discussion to improve human performance and in the context of team work as a social interaction will include system complexity and coupling. According to Wilson et al. (2007, p. 246) effective team work is extremely important when coordinated, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Social factor theorists suggest that individual behaviours are directly determined by the pattern or structure of relationships within organisations. Therefore, the structures of interpersonal relationships hinge directly on organisational outcomes such as human performance (Carboni Ehrlich, 2013). By developing teams that encourage trust, sharing of information and other concepts associated with team work, organisations reduce the likelihood of unwanted behaviours or outcomes (Paletz et al. 2009). Complexity and coupling are organisational dimensions used to help ascertain human performance within complex systems. Wickens et al. (2004, p. 493) describes complexity as the number of feedback loops, interconnected subsystems and invisible unexpected interactions. Therefore, the behaviours of one system can indirectly impact on the behaviour of another. Coupling implies that there is little slack in a system and that all subsystems are tightly interconnected. Because coupling is dependent on the interaction of subsystems, any disruptions along the system will soon transfer to other parts. The degree of complexity and coupling impacts the organisations probability of failure. High complex tightly coupled organisation are more likely to experience catastrophic failures (Wickens et al. 2004). Due to the rigid management structure
- 49. An Analysis ofThe Pilgrim’s Progress Essay A question has arisen concerning the conflicts used in John Bunyan s The Pilgrims Progress; the first half of the book was originally published in sixteen seventy eight while the second half was published in sixteen eighty four. Guilt, deception, shame, and fear are all major conflicts the author uses that challenge the main characters, Christian and Christiana, on their journey to the celestial city. Perhaps the hardest conflict Bunyan has Christian and his wife face is guilt. John Bunyans books have been some of the most popular books in Christian society. The novel itself has even been called second to the bible. (Second is referring to the number of copies that have been sold.) While the book itself has Christian represent an... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The modern version of the book is similar to a combination of old world and modern English. Pilgrim s Progress uses hymns as a foreshadowing event alluding to a minor character s demise or a good event. John Bunyan starts the book off as if the narrator is sleeping and has a dream. He also uses imagery from the bible which includes the celestial city and the river of death. Bunyan grew up in a home that was poor but he still had a love for the gospel. At one point in his life he was arrested for preaching the gospel without being licensed to preach. The story is written in first person so it is read like the story is being told to the reader. The limitations of the narrator would most likely be that he is not able to describe the feelings of the dream characters with enough accuracy. The reason for this is the narrator is experiencing a dream but he is not actually feeling the feelings that the dream character is feeling. The language of the book itself started off in old English but has been updated throughout the ages so that it is in modern English. A limitation the narrator has is he does not know what will happen in the future and he cannot influence the outcome of the story. An example of symbolism would be the burden that Christian has to carry on part of his journey. His burden represents the sins that he has committed and the burden will only fall
- 50. Essay on Kane,Gatsby, And The American Dream The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Citizen Kane a movie directed by Orson Welles are both monumental stories in American society as they both represent the American dream at it s most brilliant high. The Great Gatsby is all about time and the American dream; it is essentially what consumes Gatsby. Both Kane and Gatsby are representations of the American dream, and as we read into their stories we see that time and the dream become so intertwined that it is hard to see them apart. Other key factors play into this such as the failed pursuit of love and being in a sea of admirers and feeling like you are the only person there.

Unlike Gatsby however, Kane would like to relive his childhood, something Gatsby destroyed. Kane s last utterance, rosebud is a large standing testament to his want to return to childhood. Throughout the movie we see him as a large, powerful figure that is newsworthy for scandals and successes among other things. We realize though that the things that made him who he was, were not the things that made him such a renowned figure, it was the things that drove him and although we never truly understand what those things are, we can speculate. And the last word, rosebud is certainly an argument to that because it is the last thing we understand of him, and it is essentially him being at his most venerable and most alone time. When he leaves his family he is embarking on a lonely trail, Thatcher is a money obsessed business mogul and therefore does not develop Kane or even try to create a solid relationship with him, which sets Kane up for a lifestyle of loneliness. This loneliness extends into his business deals as he takes the world by storm. Scandal suppresses both Kane and Gatsby, Gatsby loses his life because of it and Kane loses an election that he had in the

- 54. Outliers Data Collection Duringour data collection, the original method of random assignment we planned to use was not plausible, since it required all 60 of our subjects at a time and we had two days of data collection. Instead, we changed our method slightly and gathered people in groups of four and assigned each person a number from the random number generator in our calculator. If it was an even number they received gum and if it was an odd number they did not. Some ways there could have been a potential bias is if the test taker had already seen the test before (because it was from a past Virginia reading SOL), or if someone who had taken a test on the first day told someone who was going to take the test on the second day the answers. The reasons for outliers... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Both data sets contain outliers, as clearly shown in the box and whisker plots. The control group contains two outliers, both of which are 70. The experimental group contains four outliers: 0, 10, 40 and 70. In all calculations, the outliers have been omitted in order to ensure more accurate calculations. The median test score/center of the data for both the control group and experimental group is around 90 percent. The mean or average test score for the experimental group is 93.5 and for the control group, the average test score is an 89.3. The standard deviation of the group that chewed gum is 6.895 (about 7) and the group that did not chew gum had a standard deviation of 7.164 (about 7.2.) This shows that the experimental group has less variance in comparison to the control group. Without doing an actual hypothesis test, just based off of the graphs and raw data, we can guess that our original hypothesis (those who chew gum will have better test scores than those who do not) might be correct and the conclusion will be that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Based on the dotplot and histogram, the assumption of normality is plausible for the control group but not for the experimental
