2. Informative Essay On Ringo Star
Musician, singer, songwriter and actor Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey on
July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England. A sickly child, he missed a lot of school on
account of his illnesses. Starr eventually dropped out as a teenager. Fortunately, he
had a great stepfather, who supported his interest in music by giving Ringo a drum
kit. In late 1950s, he joined a local band Rory Storm and the Hurricanes that
moment he got stage name was well known as Ringo Star; he was called Ringo
because of the rings he wore, and the Starr was taken from his drum solos for the
group Starr time. Starr was a talented drummer, he found his connect with drum kit
since he was a young boy. He put all of effort in felling melodies, played with
confident and love to music that were demonstrated by all pictures with big smiling
faces.
By the time the Beatles ended with Paul McCartney s announcement that he was
leaving the group in 1970, Starr pursued a solo career instead of finding a new
group to work with like most drummers did when there was a disband. In this
moment he thought band would be better if the three others had continued to play,
but disband was quite a shock. Starr had a strong bonding with members in group, he
was not ready to move on with another band; even though the Beatles had some
conflictions, overall they were best friends ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

SUBCULTURE MEANS:
These are those groups of people who have a different set of behavior with different
cultures. Different subculture people have their own belief and interest. Subcultures
may be distinctive due to the age of its members, class and gender. Subculture
sometimes can be negative due to dominant nature and societal standard. Cultural
appropriation result into the death and evolution of the subculture as members
change into new styles. Members of subcultures have distinctive and symbolic use of
style. It is basically sociology and cultural studies. A common example of the

fashion accessory and they also added colors and extra mirrors to customize it.
Some mods wanted to customize a lot to their scooters so that s why they added 30
mirrors to scooters so that their scooters look different from others but it forms

4. How Tracheostomy Care Is Essential For Patients
Abstract
Tracheostomy Care is essential for patients who are in respiratory distress. Nurses
need to prevent complications and promote education to care for this device.
Cleanliness of this device will keep the patient health from deteriorating, and
ultimately prevent any infections that could possibly arise if the tracheotomy is not
taken care of properly. The purpose of a tracheostomy may have a myriad of reasons.
A couple of reasons to perform a tracheostomy may be due to a blocked airway,
obstruction, or to be used to extended respiratory or ventilator support. Tracheostomy
care is vital for patients because it prevents any complications. According to John
Hopkins Medical Center (n.d), Early complications that may arise during the
tracheostomy procedure or soon thereafter include: bleeding, air trapped around the
lungs (pneumothorax), air trapped in the deeper layers of the chest
(pneumomediastinum), air trapped underneath the skin around the tracheostomy
(subcutaneous emphysema), damage to the swallowing tube (esophagus), injury to
the nerve that moves the vocal cords, tracheostomy tube can be blocked by blood
clots, mucus, or pressure of the airways walls . Tracheostomy Care
Numerous research has been conducted on various reasons why tracheostomy care is
gravely important. There are several indications why a patient might need a
tracheotomy. Research by Morris, Whitmer, and McIntosh (2013), explain:
Indications for placing tracheostomy tubes can be grouped into

The police are often characterized as foils when compared to detectives due to their
analytical thinking that requires logical reasonings in order to solve a mystery, and a
lack of creative thinking that detectives use to place themselves in the mind of the
criminal. As well, detectives will often solve a mystery that otherwise
discombobulates the police. In Edgar Allan Poe s The Murders in the Rue Morgue
and The Purloined Letter, It is evident that the inability for the police to solve a case
efficiently through their lack of creative thinking and a scarcity of analytical thinking
highlights Dupin s superiority in solving crimes more effectively than the police. In

Due to the gruesome nature of the crime scene, the Police overlook things and do
not analyze every possible idea, which includes not placing themselves in the
psyche of the criminal.Their unskilled methods are what cause the Police to be
inconsistent with either being too detailed in their search, or not detailed enough.
Unlike Dupin, the Police do not have a particular method and he suggests that the
skill of the analyst is evinced. He makes, in silence, a host of observations and
inferences (Poe 67). The inconsistency of the Police search and the lack of logical
reasoning and creative thinking does not allow them to make a conclusion in the
case. Dupin steps in to play the role of the Police, using logical reasoning to search
the crime scene, and the detective by using creative thinking to come to a conclusion.
It is evident that the Police are inconsistent when they are not detailed in their search
which highlights Dupin s

father figure of the family, says, Why? You want to know why? Cause we all tied
up in a race of people that don t know how to do nothing but moan, pray and have
babies! (Hansberry 532). By way of explanation, the family and much of the African
American community for the 1960 s, is built upon a loose ideology that is a brutal

In Lorraine Hansberry s A Raisin in the Sun (1959), she touches on not only the
Youngers family, but also the degradation of society within the walls of the 1960 s,
as there was apparent societal exclusion by members of the opposite race. This
opposition is broadcasted in the play when a character named Lindner Linder is part
of a council in which they filter through multiple potential buyers in the
neighborhood in the hopes of accomplishing an Caucasian only community. He
enters in the middle of the play who is initially unrecognized, but offers a large
sum of money for the soon to be, property the Youngers will reside within with the
advice that, ...people can get awful worked up when they feel that their whole way
of life and everything they ve ever worked for is threatened (Hansberry 554). The
problem that the Caucasian community is facing is that they live without
establishing a positive relationship with people who don t look like themselves; in
this situation, it is race. Linder then proceeds to offer the family a large sum of
money over the what they paid for the current land and house for the preservation of
their precious ideology that whites are only permitted around that location (Hansberry
554). In recognition of this racist

assumed that she was probably going to say something like Stop laying there and
get up and take some medicine so I wait a little to read it. When I finally read my

feel like your fake I am clearly annoyed because nothing I was feeling was because
of her or direct towards her. But my nose cringed at the word fake . Me and Kim
had a history she had a smart mouth so nobody really liked her so I was really her
only friend. I lost friends because they didn t want me to be friends with her and
stuff like that. Anyways I was far from fake . I.texted her and said Wait one minute

Data Analysis
Identifying an unknown substance can be accomplished with the use of multiple
scientific tests. Conducting these experiments will narrow down the possibilities of
the unknown compound. The number of the unknown substance that I was given
was A84841BIR, It posed to be a challenge since I needed to test three different
molecular combinations for this specific substance. Once the number of moles the in
substance was calculated using the ideal gas law, I divided it from the sample mass
number. After vaporizing away the unknown compound, I then concluded that the
molarity of my unknown chemical was 58.93 g/mol. To find my molecular formula
I calculated the mass of each element, then the moles, lastly I took the smallest
whole number ratio. Using the molarity calculated I was able to do some research to
get a better understanding of what my unknown chemical could be. Once I have
collected all my data together and researched the Internet for articles relating to
understanding Infa Red spectroscopy, I should be able to make an educated guess
upon what my unknown solution could be.
The first step was to calculate the molecular formula, using the given masses on the
combustion worksheet. Using the ideal gas law, I converted the given grams to moles.
The next step was to find out the amount of oxygen in the combustion, then after
more calculations, I was able to plug my value into the ideal gas law and find the
molecular weight. After calculating the molecular formula I
9. The Bronze Horseman Analysis
In lines 145 163 of Pushkin s The Bronze Horseman, the main character, Eugene,
conjures up his ideal lifestyle while a storm rages outside. Upon first glance, it
seems that Eugene s daydreaming is trivial because his desires are plain and
lacking in ambition. However, it is important because it projects Eugene as the
common man, shows his initial sane condition, which greatly contrasts with his
later insane one, as well as, sets up a contrast between Eugene s and Peter the Great
s characters and ambitions. Through his dreams, Eugene is projected as the
common man. When he fantasizes about his future, Eugene imagines that he will
live a peaceful life consisting of a humble refuge...Parasha...and [some] children
(Lines 150 155). Eugene s enumeration of these desires signifies his simplicity and
his role as the everyman. The purpose of Eugene being portrayed in this light is to
have his character oppose Peter the Great s. Eugene s desires for a simple lifestyle
consisting of marriage, procreation, old age, then death, is the antithesis of Peter the
Great s grand aspirations. Standing outside the soon to be city of St. Petersburg,
Peter thinks from here we shall threaten the Swede, here a city shall be founded
(Lines 13 14). Clearly, Peter aspiring to build a city far surpasses Eugene s goal to
get married, in terms of ambition. Furthermore, the purpose of contrasting these two
is to highlight the cause and effect relationship between Peter s actions and Eugene s

Throughout history, women such as Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner
Truth, and countless others have been known to play a significant role in helping to
shape the world. Although Jig and Elisa were not the Mary Edwards Walker or the
Rosa Parks of their time, both Elisa and Jig depict characteristics of regular females
living through problematic social situations that could only be justified through the
actions of their husbands. John Steinbecks The Chrysanthemums and Ernest
Hemingways Hills Like White Elephants both depict the pressure and falling into a
loved one s standards. And both felt oppressed to meet the standards set upon them
while being dominated by the men in their life. While Steinbeck s The
Chrysanthemums and Hemingway s Hills Like White Elephants differ plotwise,
both short stories share a female character who feels oppressed to meet the
standards they must face, whether it is agreeing to abortion or changing your
appearance to make a loved one happy. Although Jig and Elisa were not the Mary
Edwards Walker or the Rosa Parks of their time, both Elisa and Jig depict
characteristics of regular females living through problematic social situations that
could only be justified through the actions of their husbands. First and foremost, not
only does Steinbeck s The Chrysanthemums cover the topic of oppression and falling
into their loved one s standards, but Hemingway s Hills Like White Elephants does

Today, social medias give tremendous impacts to everyone. What people usually
see on the TV, internet, or surrounding would influence their concepts of normality.
For example, a person who is still using an old fashioned cell phone might be
considered as abnormal, because the majority of people is using the latest
smartphones. It is important for people to know they are normal or not, because
most of the people are feeling happy that they are normal. However, the definition
of being normal has indirectly manipulated by the majority. As long as people
follow what the majority does, they are parts of the majority and will not be
abnormal at all. However, that is not the meaning of normal but merely a part of
the definition of norms, following what most of the people do. If the normality is
determined by the majority, same sex marriage will never be accepted by the
society. This is a very good evidence that shows what is normal is not determined
by the majority. In What Do We Mean by Normal ? , Maisel also tells us that
normal is not what people perceive all the time or what people perceive the most of.
He clearly states that normal means anything of value to right thinking people
(Maisel 1). In other words, what is normal is not depending on what the majority
does. People should not blindly define normal as what the majority thinks or acts,
because normal is not determined by the majority. It is determined by people who
have the right

Extremely low and high temperatures can slow down the development of societies
and civilizations greatly. If you are living in a place with temperatures similar to
the ones of The Arctic, you will obviously have a lot of harvesting problems
because of the cold and all the snow covering the ground. Also, problems with
getting around and working hard because it is too cold to leave your home and go
out are very probable. Going out to work in conditions like these, can leave people
dead or very sick with things like hypothermia. On the other hand, extreme heats,
like in places close to the equator, also slow development for very similar reasons.
People struggle to leave their houses because of extreme heat dangers like getting
deep burns or even things like skin cancer from the sun s UV rays, and may also
have harvesting problems because of how dry it is. Land forms and geography can
also have an impact on the development of societies and civilizations. If you live in
an area with a lot of bodies of water, you will be granted with things like fertile soil,
easy transportation, abundant food and water supply, more animals to hunt (fishing)
and much better hygiene than for example a place in the middle of the desert. Your

Psychologists usually agree that the teenage years are among the most difficult
periods in one s life. Most teens are trying to figure out who they are, what they
believe, and how they fit into the world around them. Beginning in the late 1970s, a
whole genre of fiction, referred to as coming of age literature, emerged and serves,
at least fore many teens, as believable presentations of young people learning to
navigate the difficulties of their lives, often fraught with feelings of rejection,
seemingly unresolvable personal turmoil, social problems, school and family issues,
etc. Indeed one value of reading is to see and better understand some aspect of

The Eloi like the upper class live their lives with all the dirty work being done by
the lower class. In an almost darwinian fashion the Morlocks evolved stronger. The
morlocks evolved by doing everything on there own and not having it done for
them, and this made them stronger. The Elois reliance of others made them weak
and vulnerable. So, as I see it, the Upper world man had drifted towards his feeble
prettiness, and the Under world to mere mechanical industry. (100) The time traveler
is implying that the upper class are weak, elegant, pretty, and the morlocks the
contrary. In this far future the Eloi have lost their curiosity and are blind to what is
going on around them. An example of this is when the time traveler first meets them.
The time traveler thought the people of the future would be intelligent however the
Eloi do not understand much of what the time traveler says. He compares them to
children Then one of them suddenly asked me a question that showed him to be on
the intellectual level of our five year old children.. (31) The Eloi like children are
innocent, they are vegetarian and harm no animals or others. However in nature, the

they do not know they possess the capabilities to harm. This and many other things

17. General Demand Function Of Desktop Computers
The general demand function represents the relationship between the demand of a
product or service and the following six factors: the price of the product or service,
the consumers income, price of related goods or services, the taste patterns of
consumers, expected price of the good in some future period and number of the
consumers in the market (Thomas Maurice, 2012, pp. 40). This general demand
function can be applied to all products and services to forecast the quantity that will
be demanded based on the current market trends. The remainder of this paper will
apply this general demand function to desktop computers and how the various factors
affect the product demand.
The first factor to analyze is the price of desktop computers. Like all goods and
services in the market, the price and the quantity demanded are inversely related as
described in the law of demand. If the price of desktop computers rises, the demand
will decrease. Similarly, if the price of desktop computers falls, the demand will
rise. Consumers often watch for prices to drop or sales to occur before making big
purchases to. Due to the inverse relationship between the demand and the price of the
computers, the slope parameter would have a negative sign. This negative sign
denotes that as one piece of the equation changes, the other will move in the opposite
direction.
The second factor of the general demand function is the consumers income. Desktop
computers are considered a normal good, or

Binder explains that our founding fathers created a bureaucratic system that
competes within itself to serve its own interest and protect our constitution from
tyranny. This statement is so true I cannot argue whether it is true or false, but I
would like to reinstate a few points Binders statement make. The pilgrims came to
America because of the religious persecution in The British Empire in which
tyranny engulfed the people. I can see why the founding fathers when writing the
constitution held so dearly their fear of tyranny because they had experienced it
firsthand. I believe that our political system has held well to these principals and
its core values have remained the same since the day the constitution was signed in
1776. Binder then states the main issues of the Congress of 1965 66, health care,
environment, civil rights, transportation, and education statutes (Binder, 34).
Binder is pointing out that the Congress of 1965 66 under President Lyndon B.
Johnson was the most productive Congress of all time. I would have to agree with
Binder this Congress faced great challenges like issues of civil rights. People might
think that gridlock only exists today, given the many conflicts that have raged
between Congress and President Obama and led to several government shutdowns.
However, the author points out how gridlock also existed during President Bush s
presidency, which ended up being the main reason he broke his promise not to raise
taxes and decided instead to agree with congressional Democrats to do so. President
Clinton s presidency was also characterized by much gridlock with congressional
Republicans, which explains why he was unable to pass his healthcare reform act

19. Intelligence Is Defined As General Cognitive Problem...
Intelligence is defined as general cognitive problem solving skills. A mental ability
involved in reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies, calculating, learning
quickly... etc. A number of psychologists have argued that intelligence can be
quantified, primarily through testing. In 1905, Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon
devised a system for testing intelligence, with scoring based on average mental levels
for various age groups. .I.Q(intelligence quotient) in general, is an assessment of
your ability to think and reason. IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this
ability with the majority of people the same age as you are. A score of 100 means
that compared to these people in your general age group that you have basically an
average intelligence. Psychologists say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of
a normal intelligence or have an average IQ. There have been many critiques about
the use of IQ tests mainly on the uncertainty of the IQ score due to the external
factors that are not accounted for in measuring IQ scores. This essay will be
addressing To what extent do scholars suggest the IQ tests to be an accurate way to
measure a person s intelligence level? An example is the chapter critique of the bell
curve from the book The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould.
The bell curve book argued that IQ tests are an accurate measure of intelligence; that
IQ is a strong predictor of school and career achievement; that IQ is highly heritable;

This paper will refer to a case study of Eisai, a company where I have worked for
almost eight years as HR Director. I will assess how Eisai faces the challenging
business environment and how it impacts to the business value chain, particularly in
the supply chain, marketing, finance, Human Resources (HR) and Information
Technology (IT). I will apply various concepts, and analytical frameworks learned
during the MVC course, such as Resource based View (RBV), MarketingMix (4P),
Product Life Cycle and SWOT, to examine the challenges and strategic initiatives
applied in this company. This report is expected to contribute to an empirical study
that assesses how a pharmaceutical company transforms and survives in the
turbulence time.
All information and data used in this report are collected from Eisai s website (i.e.

23. Political And Political Theories Of Political Science
Introduction
Politics play a major role in every country and those who hold office have had some
prior experience in politics before achieving the seat they now hold. Many of these
politicians have backgrounds in Political Science that gave them the knowledge to
pursue politics. Political Scientists study the origin, development, and operation of
political systems. They research ideas that will help them analyze government
policies, trends and other political issues. Political Science is a highly competitive
field that requires many skills to achieve a job within the industry. However, once the
time is taken to gain these skills, the benefits of the job are substantial.
Job Description
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), Political Scientist
typically research political subjects such as the U.S political system, relations
between the United States and foreign countries, and political ideologies ( Political
Scientist ). These scientists collect data from the public and turn them into surveys
and other forms of assistance for the government. Scientists should be able to predict
social and political trends within a country to take steps that are necessary to
continue their work with better precision. Due to this, scientists spend a lot of time
researching the subject they are focusing on. This research plays a vital role in
Political Science. Scientists conduct research in four sub fields on Political Science.
These fields are: American politics, comparative

A cappella music was the first type of music due to its lack of need for musical

25. My Communication Styles Paper
Communication is one if not the most important aspect of any organization. If a
leader is not a effective communicator employees will have a hard time understanding
the mission or goal of the organization. This will result in high turnover and eventual
failure of a business. There are several different types of communicationI will be
using the two that most reflect me and my experiences.
One of the communication styles that fits me is contentious. This is described as a
communication style that is aggressive (Solaja, Idowu, James, 2015). This type of
communication worked for me somewhat. When I was a Corrections Officer I used
this argumentative form of communication to gain compliance. I was not always
aggressive but it had its advantages
26. The Importance Of Cursive Writing
Taught more than thirty decades ago, cursive writing has a famed and legendary past.
It was once a vital element of American education, but is now becoming an archaic
artefact as technology advanced and the requirement of more regulated tests push it
out of the education system. Cursive writing should be scrapped out of the education
system for there is no need of wasting time and resources to continue teaching a skill
that won t be beneficial to the students in the near future. For many students in
America, cursivewritingis as foreign as the hieroglyphics of the ancient Egypt. In most
colleges and universities, more students are increasingly using tablet computers and
laptops to take notes rather than the old adage of using pen and paper. With the
changes in technology, handwritten letters are rare to come by. Most people have
changed with the dynamics of technology. Most communication is done using email,
Skype and Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram as opposed to manual letter writing. Just
like calligraphy, cursive has been unnecessary(I don t agree with this). Writing is seen
as a means of communicating. Technically talking, we are past the times of physical
writing as an art. Whatever can be created with a pen, a computer can recreate it much
better. Welcome to the world of technology. If it can be printed, then it can be
communicated in the penned form. The argument that cursive writing aids in refining
the motor skills of students is completely untrue.

Irrational Man is a 2015 American mystery drama film which has been written and
directed by Woody Allen. The film stars well known actors; Joaquin Phoenix,
Emma Stone, Parker Posey and Jamie Blackley. The film was released on July 17,
2015 by Sony Pictures Classics in a limited release, later expanding wider. The film
was Jack Rollins final production before his death in June 2015, having produced
Allen s films since the 1970s. Irrational Man, (Woody Allen s 327th film), tells the

Jill his romantic student lover seems to have no real depth throughout the film as
well. This is seen in several occasions such as the Russian roulette scene where she
(an intelligent student) has really no clue as to the fact that something is seriously
wrong with both Abe and their relationship. She seems to be only there to serve as
something different and new in Abe s otherwise depressing life. Unfortunately
while this would be a perfectly fine character persona for an extra in the film, it just
didn t work in with being tied to one of the main characters. This is disappointing
when all of a sudden like a Nancy drew novel she pieces together the fact that Abe
is behind the murder because up until that point she has just been an attractive
academically intelligent extra in Abe s life. Jill very quickly goes from a small
random spark of interest in Abe s life to the biggest thing in
28. The Threat Of Emergency Response Operations
The quote; Threats and Vulnerabilities emanating from man made and natural
disaster are the crux of the U.S. all hazard approach to homeland security (HS), but
this approach appears to be inherently flawed. is not true. This essay will argue that
emergency response operations are at the crux of the U.S. all hazardapproach to
homeland security and that this approach is not inherently flawed just not all
encompassing. This is because the emergency response operations such as crisis and
consequence management directly correlate with the length and overall effect of
vulnerabilities and threats emanating from a disaster, presenting post disaster risks
that need to be accounted for but are not. Also, the all hazard approach is correct,
threats to homeland security do not just come from militarized attacks but also
chemical spills, tornadoes and other disasters showing that it is not inherently flawed.
The approach simply fails to recognize the effect that interagency and
intergovernmental coordination during the emergency response operations, or lack
thereof, has on the magnitude of threats and vulnerabilities that emanate from man
made and natural disasters. Preparedness should account for both pre and post
disaster conditions. Section one of this paper will define the concept of an all
hazard approach to homeland security. Section two of this paper will argue that
emergency responses act as the crux of the all hazard approach. The third section will
argue that all hazard

Establishment of New Industries British Government threw the Indian market open
to European countries. Foreign capital began to flow only in the areas chosen by the
British, in the areas which they hoped would help them earn more profit. Industries
such as Railways and Communication industries attracted high amounts of foreign
capital. Several industries such as cotton plantation, paper, coal mining, iron steel
industries etc. were set up towards the beginning of 20th century. The machinery that
were being used Lancashire were forced upon Indian industries despite not being
suited to function in Indian climates and conditions. Industries in India were made to
produce what it was good in producing as well as those whose demands were high at
that moment. Thus, a lot of emphasis was given to Textile industry, Coal Production
and Iron and Steel industry.
A brief review of the state and development of industries in India during the 20th
century shows that railways reached out from Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. Coal
mines began to be seriously worked in Bengal and Bihar. Cotton mills and Jute mills
were set up in various parts of India. Serious attempts were made to manufacture
paper in India through machines, and this, the industrialization proved to be

Before you know it, spending enough time in a country that is foreign to you, with
their custom surrounding you everyday, you will realize you are one with the
culture. Heidi Julavits , Turning Japanese entertains the reader with her story and
experience after college. Julavits graduated from Dartmouth during the Gulf War
when recession was prominent and the feeling of uncertainty was common
throughout. Because of the ambiguity of her future, she decided to travel to Japan
and teach English, in search of self awareness. The goal of self awareness derives
from the Japanese belief system, Zen Buddhism. Julavits knew that in order to
relieve herself from that uncertain feeling, she must practice this. To exercise this
theory, she taught English. It was the only skill she was confident in. Living in Japan
she realized what she missed immensely were the American sweets. The only thing
she got out of living in Japan, was the feeling of contentment after eating two bean
cakes everyday. She characterizes, so called contentment when I have no pointed

Two months after being satisfied by bean cakes, she claims to have been, spiritually
annihilated by contentment. (156) I do not think contentment was the correct word to
identify the feeling. After eating two bean cakes everyday, Julavits became sick of it.
When you have over indulged, it is natural to grow tired of it. I do think contentment
exists in American culture, just not in the form Julavits used it. A greater example of
contentment is a perfectionist genuinely feeling satisfied with their work. That is
contentment. Not excess indulgement until your craving is

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) is a term describing a company
s obligation to be accountable to all of its stakeholder in all its operation and
activities. Socially responsible companies consider the full scope of their impact on
communities and the environment when making decisions, balancing the needs of
stakeholder with their need to make profit. A company s stakeholders are all those
who are influenced by and can influence a company s decisions and action, both
locally and globally. Business stakeholders include(but are not limited to) employees,

Some would argue that the only reason to take on social projects is for utilitarian
reasons, such as currying favor with the public or with government, or to improve
market standing. Others, such as the philosopher Michael E. Berumen, suggest
that a business is property belonging to the owners, not stakeholders, and that a
business is not equivalent to a mini state for the purpose of creating social justice
or carrying out social planning, and that the owners have the right to dispose of
their property as they see fit within the limits of morality, including for profit,
social good, or both. Proponents of CSR would suggest a number of reasons why
self interested corporations, seeking to solely to maximize profits are unable to
advance the interests of society as a whole: Corporations care little for the welfare
of the workers, and given the opportunity will move production to sweatshops in
less well regulated countries. Unchecked, companies will squander scarce
resources. Companies do not pay the full costs of their impact. For example the
costs of cleaning pollution often fall on society in general. As a result profits of
corporations are enhanced at the expense of social or ecological welfare. Regulation
is the best way to ensure that companies

Before the rape I felt good. My life was in order. I was getting ready to get married.
Afterward everything changed. I kind of lost who I was as a personВ… I asked him
В‘Didn t you have a wife or a girlfriend you could do this with? He said В‘I like this

Victim Testimony, Trial Transcript, People V. Eric Barnes, Kew Garden, New York,

Rape is a physical attack, not sex. Rape crisis counselors and researchers define
rape as an act of violence in which sex is used as a weapon (Benedict 2). A woman
is raped in this country every two minutes. Between 1996 1999 7,787,00 rapes were
reported. The actual number is much, much higher because only 26% of rapes are

Victims may try to cope with the attack and the posttraumatic stress disorder with
drugs and alcohol (Figley 6). Rape can be preventable and here are a few steps and
precautions that are taught to women. Carry your keys in your dominant hand, be
able to use them as a weapon and be able to unlock your car door with either hand.
Use deadbolts, window locks, and peep holes. When on the street, walk in a group
and try to vary the way you walk to your car or house (Figley 6). In short, a woman
needs to be aware and stay away from any situation that makes her uncomfortable.
In one study examining the incidence of the three patterns of rape, it was found
that power rapes are the most common. Power rapes constituted for 55%, anger
rapes accounted for 40%, and about 5% were sadistic rapes (Hazelwood 1).
Rapists who assault women lead double lives. On the outside they may appear no
different from other men. They are members of every race, religion, profession, and
socioeconomic group; they are of varying ages and are often members of churches.
Many of them impress others as dedicated family men who are good providers
(Groth 7). They are not insane nor are they sowing some wild oats. They are men
who have serious psychological or personality disorders, which they discharge trough
sexual violence. The consequences of this behavior have no meaning to the rapist at
the time of the assault. Therefore, he is not bothered by such logical

The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) holds many works of art from all
types of cultures from around the world. The Torso of an Emperor in the Guise of
Jupiter from Roman culture and the Torso of Aphrodite from Greek culture, are but
two of them. It is unknown who the artist was for either of them, but the work has
lived on for centuries. During the time period the gods were known for their
perfection like body and extraordinary looks. Since the sculptures highlight only the
torso of the body it represents that only image matters and the brain does not.
The Torso of an Emperor in the Guise of Jupiter was made during the first century
with marble. Standing at 56 ВЅ x 29 ВЅ x 15 ВЅ inches. The statue depicts a torso of
an emperor s body with the torso completely exposed and a sheet that could be
assumed as a toga (typical clothing during the time period) covering the lower part
of the body. People worshipped the gods and many stories, still told today marvel
of the complete and utter perfection that the gods were graced with. The artist
shows detail directly in the toga to make precise cuts from the marble to show
value and create a life like atmosphere. With the chest and torso area you can clearly
see that the man was fit with no fat in sight, only muscle. The form of the work uses
diagonal lines throughout the toga to imply movement upward towards the chest.
The lines point upward causing your eyes to look toward the emperor s torso. Since

There is an ample scope of debate as to whether Mormonism is Christianity or not. It

between the Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
(Mormon). Both churches accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world and teach
that salvation comes through faith in Christ, repentance and baptism. The differences
between the two churches revolve around priesthood authority, continuing revelation,

of baptism. Beyond its shared nature ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Catholics feel a child is born with a fallen human nature and is tainted by original
sin. Therefore, their belief is that newborns are born with original sin and are in
need of baptism to enter heaven. The Church and the parents would deny a child the
priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly
after birth. (Catechism of the Catholic Church pg. 1250) Catholic Church Father St.
Augustine (d. 430) taught that children who die without baptism go to hell. This
statement was later softened to say that children who die, without baptism, go to a
quasi heaven called limbo. In the Catholic religion the bishop, priest or deacon are
called upon to perform baptisms. In case of necessity, anyone, even a non baptized
person, with the required intention, can baptize by using the Trinitarian baptismal
formula phrase in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit , or
words to that form and effect, referring to the three persons of the Christian Trinity.
It is often followed by an Amen . Mormons believe infant baptism is unnecessary.
Unbaptized children are saved through the power of Christ s atonement (Moroni
8:12). The Lord said, They cannot sin, for power is not given unto Satan to tempt
little children, until they begin to become accountable before me (D C 29:46 47).

Prize, a thing given as a reward to the winner of a competition or race or in
recognition of another outstanding achievement . A prize is not given out to just
anyone, especially the Pulitzer Prize, an award for an achievement in American
journalism, literature, or music. With only thirteen made each year, it is a challenge,
but writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlingshas beat the challenge by winning a Pulitzer
Prize for her novel, The Yearling, published in 1938. She won this award not only
for the brilliant thoughts she put into words but also for the way she structured the
words. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings obtained her Pulitzer Prize in part for her use of
sensory details, figurative language, and syntax in her novel The Yearling.
One reason why Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings deservedly won a Pulitzer Prize, is
because of her use of sensory detail in The Yearling. Sensory details are details that
help create a better image for a reader by expressing smell, taste, touch, sound, and
sight and they are used abundantly in the four pages provided from the book. For
example, on page six, it states, He moved a stone that was matching its corners
against his sharp ribs and burrowed a little... . This description is an example of the
good use of sensory detail because, it allows the readers to feel what the boy, Jody,

40. Developing A High National Debt
Societies rely on the government to serve and protect them. This is traditionally seen
through policies and laws made by politicians. Economically speaking, in the United
States, the government plays an important role in preventing the domination of
private business to regulate labor and wages by implementing safety nets such as
minimum wage. In order to serve its purpose, the government must have moneyto pay
for various programs, but if the government continuously accrues deficits on the
budget they will build up a national debt. Economists have theories about how people
will react in situations where there is a high national debt and the government
attempts to overcome it commonly referred to as the Conventional and the Ricardian
theories. These theories are developed to attempt to determine how people will react
and determine why it actually matters to be concerned about a high national debt. By
understanding the theories and the motives for developing you can find meaning in
the calculations for developing a solution to high national debt.
In the professional and academic community, two main theories exist that examine
the human behavior that would occur in a situation where the government uses taxes
to influence the budget deficit. The most common perspective of the national debt by
economists is known as the Conventional theory. The theory develops conclusions for
the short term and long term effects of a high national debt on the society s economy.

The cost of the project is directly proportional to the accuracy and the features to be
extracted from the point cloud. Therefore, with an equipment like MMS with high
accuracy, the building can be built cost effectively and there will be no wastage of
money. Secondly, the MMS provides a rich dataset with a very high data density
for close range acquisition. However, there are a few factors which make the
densities to vary significantly, such as, the driving speed during acquisition,
distance from the laser to surface reflecting the laser s energy and the laser
repetition rate. MMS is also capable of getting very high point densities of 5000
point per square meter near the driven path. Hence, even a very small feature along
the road is also possible to be recognized and positioned at such high densities. Not
only that, the lasers also provide a true 360 degree coverage, allowing the accurate
location of both ground based and aerial features.
The MMS does not only contribute to the construction of buildings. MMS can also
be adapted to several different project data requirements. Transportation
engineering projects such as railway, highway and bridge and widening or
upgrades of existing facilities where the acquisition is simplified given the ease of
data collection from driving. The mapping of rail facilities is one of the examples as
the rail provides a perfect opportunity for driving the
42. Animal Trainer
Animal Trainer My career for our first career cluster is Animal Trainer. An animal
trainer is in general a person who teachers animals specific responses to specific
conditions or stimuli, which may be for the purpose of companionship, detection,
protection, entertainment, etc. In addition animal trainers do all the dirty work like
take care of the animalsas in clean, feed, etc. I chose animal trainer for a few
reasons. Based off of my personality tests and such, it seemed like the perfect match
as a job. It s definitely not a job I d prefer for this project or my career but for this
cluster it s the best choice I have. For education animal trainers often need just a high
school diploma or GED equivalent. Some require a... Show more content on

For animal trainers hours are very irregular. Often weekend and holiday shifts. Some
are on duty 24 hours a day. For vacation time, that isn t blatantly specified, but
based on the facts I know already unless a person is off on the holiday shifts it
seems like animal trainers don t get much of a vacation. Salaries for this job are
significantly low at around a max of $31,590 a year. Average salaries are between
16k and 24k. Physical and emotional stress is big in this job. All of the hours
worked caretaking for animals, lifting, cleaning; the skills needed basically, can
really take a toll on someone in this job. Usually the people that work in this field
are veterinarians, animal control, other animal helpers, etc. and they are usually
animal lovers. I personally am not an animal lover but I like to have a dog or pet.
You re evaluated by your peer employees and the employees above you or at a
higher authority such as the manager of the establishment. To me there aren t
many advantages to this job besides it works with animals and it s an easy job to
be hired at. The disadvantages are numerous. The hours worked, the time not spent
with family, the amount of pain possibly involved and with all of that hard work,
not very much in return with a very low salary. If I chose to apply for this job it
could definitely help me in the long run if I play my cards right. The more I work
as an animal trainer the more I am recognized and could possibly

44. The Mental Growth Of A Person
difficult to explain. Quantifying the mental growth of a person, therefore, is a real
problem. It is difficult to say when and at what stage a person becomes mentally
mature. By subjecting an individual to certain tests and testing situations, we may
arrive at certain conclusions, but we cannot be sure how accurate our conclusions
are. We have very complex personalities, because of which it is really difficult to
control our behavior all the time. However mature and diligent we are, at times we
are bound to come under the influence of our emotions and act immaturely. There
are many physical, mental and environmental factors, which play upon our
emotions and incite our behavior. This is very human and normal. In a way it is
also necessary, because we need to let out our emotions occasionally and provide a
safe outlet for our pent up frustrations and disappointments in life. Each of us has a
child inside us, formed out of our childhood experiences. It remains active, even
after we become adults. Temperamentally, it is unstable, immature, emotional and
also highly creative. Although it is a relic of our past, it is an essential and
important component of our personalities. Even after we become adults, it
continues to play a significant role in shaping our lives and behavior. Since it is
filled with emotions, it requires some caring and nurturing on our part, so that we
will not feel dull and depressed. It also needs to be kept under control so that we will
not act irrationally
45. Comparison Of The Great Gatsby And Moulin Rouge
Similarly to The Great Gatsby , Luhrmann s Moulin Rouge takes on the same effect
of displaying anachronism by working with Monsted to create a soundtrack with a
modern twist. However, the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge has a much different
timbre as it s a jukebox musical and the songs itself are used in replacement of
dialogue at various points of the film. With the vocals of the lead characters of the
film, played by Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidmanand more, this film also recreates
different original singles with different genres, timbre and tempos to make the
songs relate more to the literal environment of the film and the audience at the
time it was released. One important example would be Kidman s rendition of
Marilyn Monroe s classic song, Diamonds Are a Girl s Best Friend . The
significant aspect of Kidman s take on this song was that her character, Satine,
performed it by recreating the original into a medley with Madonna s mimicry
performance of this song, Material Girl . Satine begins her introducing
performance, with her sultry and provocative vocals in a accapella version of
Monroe s first few lines of the song giving a more raw and less theatrical take on
the song. Satine s whole performance in general, is much less theatrical than it s
origin as it neglects the classic and smooth orchestral version, for a more jazzy and
burlesque vibe that perfectly corresponds to her seductive performance. Which is
then followed by a series of improvisations such as
