2. Shakespeare s Influence On The Renaissance
The renaissance was both affected by and had affects on the art of its time and
later on. Whether this art be in the form of paintings or literature it clearly shows
today how the renaissance had taken time to affect everything around it. While
some pieces of art from this time period are as simple as a piece of canvas and
some color in the form of pigment, they have stood the test of time and held up not
only as beautiful images for us to see, but also as devices to give us a window into
the minds of those long past. This is exactly the kind of thing done today when
looking at artwork such as the Mona Lisa or even more so when reading one of the
many pieces of Shakespearian literature, Macbeth specifically.
Starting with the aftermath of the renaissance, Shakespeare was one of the most
ingenious writers of his time and still is today, being able to write play s that stand
their ground centuries later, think of as many writers with that effect as you can
and if you reach ten without Shakespeare I ll applaud you. Not many artists have
art that is known as well as Shakespeare and those that do deserve their spots just as
Shakespeare himself. Starting with Macbeth as our only needed example on the
literature written The time period that the story takes place in is that of the
renaissance time period being based in Scotland. The story revolves around a thane
who, by the controlling will of his wife, kills his king to take his place and takes the
lives of those who could take
3. Economic Impacts Of The Panama Canal
#4 (Panama Canal) The Panama Canal is a 48 mile long canal that cuts through the
isthmus of Panama. It connects both the atlantic, and Pacific Oceans making
transportation faster, so goods, services, and people wouldn t have to go over North
America, or under South America. The canal is man made and was made by the
United States. The canal was successfully built in 1914 by the United States after
10 years of building it. However, the French tried to build it before the U.S.A. It
started in 1881 and ended in failure in 1894 because of the death of 22,000 workers
because of mosquitoes carrying illness, constant rain, and mud slopes. These things
made the project bankrupt, so they eventually sold it to the United States for 40...

It is a very good source of jobs for people in Latin America. This boosts economic
activity in the area, making the area better. Since a lot of ships come in on a daily
basis, money comes in fast. Panama has also brought in countless numbers of tourist
to come see the Canal, making the economy grow and grow. Before the canal the
boats would have to go under South America where there were strong winds and
cold waters, taking a long time. After the canal was built, it cut 8,000 miles from
travel time to go around South America, and made the cost less for ships wanting to
get to the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean. Now, countries are able to trade with other
countries far away because of the canal. The overall importance of the Canal is
very high. Without it, Panama wouldn t have the booming city like it does today,
would have a low amount of jobs, and other countries wouldn t be able to trade
easily by boat. The canal has made shipment of goods by boats much easier, since
they don t have to cut under South America. If it was never created, boat travel
would not be like it is today.
4. The Giver Pros And Cons
The Giver The Giver is a book written by Lois Lowry, based on a youngster named
Jonas who lives in a utopian society. Also, known as a perfect world. And in this
perfect world that Jonas lives in, there are no memories, no pain, no color, no
feelings, and no love. Jonas thought that this way of life was best. But Jonas opinion
on the world changed as soon as he had been selected to be the new receiver of
memories. Through the book The Giver, Lois Lowryis trying to portray that we learn
from memories and gain wisdom. Through the memories Jonas gains, he gains
wisdom about individuality, and mistakes that have been done in the past but since
we have learned about the cons we make sure that we do not do it again.

How Should Reverse Auction fit into an Overall Procurement Strategy?
It is quite challenging to discuss about procurement management without stating the
importance of its strategies. There are four main basic procurement strategies that
serve different functions within a procurement management. To begin with, a
Partnership strategy focuses mainly on constructing mutual commitment in long term
relationship with suppliers. While a Secure Supply strategy aims to secure short and
long term supply while reducing risk from suppliers. In addition, a Category
Management and E Procurement solutions serves as a tool to reduce logistic
complexity, improve operational efficiency, and attempts to reduce the number of
suppliers. Lastly, a Competive Bidding strategy emphasizes on obtaining the Best
Deal for short term transactions with suppliers.(van weele) Each of these four
strategies involves a unique purchasing methodology, which implies that the
complexity is embedded in an individual strategic implication. Therefore, it requires
different tools to accomplish the specific strategical characteristics. A businessentity
may need to support and execute procurement decisions with other strategic apparatus
with analytical methods, including market analysis, uncertainty analysis, price
forecasting, supplier relationship and along with others.(Harvard) Due to the fact that
procurement strategies are the focal point in the planning stage of all business firms

7. How Much Control And Pressure Should Parents Exert
Over...
The second real life scenario that we ll be investigating in relation to the knowledge
question, How much control and pressure should parents exert over children? is the
lives of child prodigies.
A child prodigy is defined as: a person who, at an early age, develops one or more
skills at a level far beyond the norm for their age.
Although nature does play a factor in their ability, child prodigies are also often
strongly pushed and controlled by their parents. Their abilities can thus, to a certain
extent, be seen as a result of their parents raising methods.
I ll be introducing two such child prodigies.
The first of these is William James Sidis. Sidis was born on April 1st, 1898, to a
family of brilliant, but neurotic parents. His father, Boris Sidis, was a professor of
psychology at Harvard, and saw his son s birth as an opportunity to perform
experiments on the human psyche on a live specimen. Specifically, Boris put intense
academic pressure on William.
At five, William was learning Latin, Greek, Russian, French, German, and Hebrew. At
the same time, the media constantly hounded him and monitored his progress: Sidis
lived a life of constant scrutiny.
By nine, his father had forced him to enrol in Harvard; by twelve, he was a lecturer.
But by his sixteenth birthday, Sidis retired from Harvard after a heavily publicised
mental breakdown and began to lead a life of total seclusion, abstaining from even
academia. Sidis took on odd jobs, such as working at a printing
8. Chocolat
A Sequence Analysis of the Opening Scene in Chocolat (1988) This exercise will
analyse the opening scene from Chocolat (Dennis, 1988), the scene in which an
adult France (Mirelle Perrier) having spent her childhood in colonial Africa,
experiences a present day Cameroon. From her interaction with whom at first appear
as locals to studying the beautiful landscape. This sequence epitomises the
overarching subjectivity of Dennis experience as the Other in postcolonial Africa.
The sequence begins with an observational shot of waves crashing rhythmically on
to the shore. The vast ocean engulfs the senses, it is all that is visible and all that can
be heard. As the sequence continues it becomes apparent there are two figures
dancing and playing... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is from this scene that it becomes apparent that France is always positioned in the
centre of the shot. When she is sitting on the beach, walking in to town and even
when dropped off by Mungo. The placement of her in such open spaces further
emphasizes her vulnerability and isolation from her environment. It is in the scene in
which France is left in the town that colour becomes somewhat more important to
the sequence. The most obvious use of colour being the blue of France s, Mungo s
and even Sawa s clothing. Once leaving the vehicle, France s all blue outfit becomes
a distinct contrast to her surroundings. Africa would typically be considered as a
warm country, vibrant with red and oranges, and one of its most distinct natural
features being the warm, dusty sand paving most back roads. The colour blue often
denotes coldness and a sense of detachment. A reflection of France s attitude to her
surroundings. She approaches a group of African people in pursuit of further
transport. It becomes obvious at this point that France has no trouble interacting with
the native Cameroonians and from her confidence in approaching and communicating
with them, has spent some time in the country. It is also apparent that France is used
to being in control of herself and others in this environment. Despite the discomfort
displayed in her body language, her control as a child over the hired help and also her
independence gained from years of isolation, leads to her being in command of the
situation. She appears more confident in this moment, although the locals, including
the children playing in the street barely acknowledge France s presence. As France
enquires about the bus to Douala, a commercial van drives past with Cameroon
written on the side, which is the first instance of establishing the location. Although
France s had an initially confident approach with the natives, the next shot sees her
9. John Locke s Theory On Modern Science
John Locke s theories on how knowledge is gained through the senses and how
there are different kinds of experiences and ideas adds to, and justifies, the
movement of modern science. Modern science is all about observing the natural
world in order to understand and gain knowledge about what is going around us. I
agree that humans do gain knowledge and form different kinds of ideas through our
senses and different experiences.
The reoccurring theme with John Locke s theory on modern science is the idea of the
senses and how knowledge is made through sense data. Empiricism is the notion that
all knowledge comes from sense experience. We, as conscious individuals, do not
know anything until we experience it with our own senses, which then our senses
shape our mind on how we view and understand a certain object as well as his
concept of simple and complex ideas Lock, and many other empiricists, believes in
Tabula rasa, which states there are no such thing as innate ideas, and that we are all
blank slates. We are only able to fill this blank slate through experiences with our
senses. Without experiencing something, we know have knowledge, which makes
sense. Back in the cave man days, our ancestors did not have science or history
books to know that fire keeps you warm when it is cold outside. They had to pretty
much figure it out on their own. They had to discover first how to make fire, then feel
that the fire was hot, then figure out that that the fire could keep them warm in

By definition, tangible representations pertain to objects and photographs or
pictures that can be considered as highly iconic, or strongly resembling what they
stand for, called the referent (Bruce et al., 2016, p. 425). Moreover, tangible
representations can be employed expressively or receptively. Bruce et al. (2016)
reviewed studies on literacy for the deaf blind from 1990 to 2015. Findings
showed the role of tangible representations and technologies in improving
communicative expressiveness. Furthermore, different kinds of literacy lessons
that are normally given to prelinguistic learners who are deafblind can improve self
expression. Some examples are: 1) using daily schedules to form anticipatory skills;
2) personalized story boxes to boost access and engagement with content; 3)
experience books that enable the development of distancing (i.e. separation in time
and space between the object of representation and the referent), and 4) chances for
choice making to perform preference expression (Bruce Conlon, 2005). For effective
lessons, learners must be in a setting that promotes literacy growth. As McKenzie
(2009) pointed out, an environment that is rich in plentiful literacy resources will
benefit all kinds of learners, with or without disabilities. Books and other resources
should be in classrooms in different forms if possible, including Braille, tactile

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides
Title: Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides
Abstract: In this experiment the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides are
investigated through reflux and simple distillation. These are common procedures
used to separate substances. After the reflux and distillation is complete 13C
NMR and IR spectrum is used to identify the product or products for each reaction:
1a, 1b, and 2. Every individual in the group was assigned either 1a (1 propanol) or
1b (2 pentanol), and 2 (1,4 dimethyl 3 pentanol). The purpose of this experiment was
to understand and become familiar with the reaction mechanisms and be able to
observe and compare the product or products for each of the reactions using 13C
NMR and IR. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
To prevent the escape of organic vapors, the reaction mixture is cooled with an ice
bath before removing the condenser. The next technique used in this experiment was
simple distillation. This is a physical separation of the components of the mixture.
This technique is accomplished once the drip rate of the product into the collection
vessel diminishes considerably. After the reflux and distillation is complete 13C
NMR and IR is used to identify the product or products for each reaction. 13C NMR
is used to observe the carbon skeleton of an organic molecule. Analysis of this
spectrum allows certain stretches to be observed. An IR spectrum has energy
measured as frequency recorded on a horizontal axis and intensity of the absorption
on the vertical axis. Analysis of the IR allows us to differentiate between certain
characteristics and functional groups in organic chemistry.

conducted a study of Medicaid recipients, 18 years and younger . (2) 17,382
children were enrolled in an enhanced access group (intervention group) and
26,066 received services from other local primary care providers (control group).
(2) The twelve month study results showed that the average per member per
month cost of emergency room utilization of the intervention group was $1.36 less
than the controlled group. There was no significant difference in terms of per visit
cost related to emergency room usage. Although the overall cost of healthcare
delivery has not increased the enrollment in traditional Medicaid fee for service
product has increased and surpassed Medicaid managed care enrollment in the past
six years. This recent change in the market place is of particular concern. The idea
of losing what has been gained such as, guaranteed access to providers, improved
care management attributed to primary care provider healthcare delivery and the
ability to monitor insurance carrier performance motivated State Medicaid agencies
to devise a response on how to handle this current issue. Because managed care has

you should then consult your GP, who may pass a well vaselined finger into e
rectum. This often has spectacular results. Dietary Constipation The commonest
cause of constipation in young adults is dietary, often at a time when they are
dieting to excess and not receiving enough fibre. Irritable bowel syndrome may
cause constipation but this usually alternates the diarrhea is accompanied by
abdominal pain and bloating. Treatment consists of a high fibre diet an anti

It starts with the trimming of quiotes, or stalks, from the center of the plant then
the leaves from the piГ±a (the succulent core of the plant) are cut away. After being
harvested, the leaves are slowly baked to turn the fructans into fructose. Then
those leaves are either shredded or mashed under a large stone wheel and the
extracted agave juice is then poured into large wooden or stainless steel vats for
several days to ferment, producing what is called a wort, or mosto, with low
alcohol content. Then it can be distilled twice; the first time it is distilled it
produces what is called ordinario, and the second time produces a clear silver
tequila. The silver tequila can be bottled right away or pumped into wooden
barrels to age and develop a more mellow flavor and amber color. The flavor of the
tequila will either be sweeter and fruitier tasting or earthy depending on if the
leaves were harvested from the highlands or lowlands, respectively. The barrels are
usually made from white oak originating from the US, Canada, or France. Some

Nicole Richie once said It s hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long
enough just to stab you in it. This quote is saying to me that even though someone
has been by your side for years, they can still be the one to turn around and stab you
in the back. In my view, besides the physical violence, the worst thing a person can
do is Treachery, because the emotional after match can be mentally destructive, once
you stab someone in the back, it only hurts more to take the knife out of their back,
and it can destroy future friendships and relationships. Sadly,Treachery can do a lot of
things to a person. One of the most common effects is the emotional aftermath being
mentally destructive. In support of this, someone who has gone through

24. Psychology And Christianity By David Entwistle
4 MAT Review: Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity
Allison McLeod
Liberty University
Summary
The book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity by David Entwistle,
allowed readers to explore a synopsis that addressed worldview issues, theoretical
foundations and the models of integration. One subject that I enjoyed reviewing was
the comparisons that Enwistle displayed of the relationship of psychology and
theology throughout the class text. Additionally, Entwistle offered information that
displayed how the two are both designed by God and that God is the creator of all
truth. (Entwistle, p.150, 2010).Thus, the author attempted to show the reader various
examined claims and tensions that resulted from these influences.
We as individuals ordinarily go through life looking at life through our own views
of how things should be grounded on our own worldviews. While, a worldview is
how a person views the world and the theories that they personally have of the
world. Nevertheless, Entwistle provides a fresh outlook for the observer on how
psychology is integrated into our worldviews, as a source of guidance and faith. In
addition, this is addressed on theology in which, the bible stems from. I found the
assimilation of psychology and theology that the author provides, to be essential in
assisting individuals with a variety of issues. For some individuals this can be a
challenge, being that some Christians have a hard time with integrating

because many colored people were getting shot with out a reasoning (as they say)

28. Importance Of Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a process through which students practice skills, obtain
knowledge, and derive values from real life situations. There are different methods of
this type of learning including: field trips, internships, field research, and service
learning projects. These assignments and activities give students the opportunity to
experience reflective, data driven, and problem solving scenarios. According to
David Kolb s theory on experiential learning, Learningis the process whereby
knowledge is created through the transformation of experience (Kolb, 1984, p.38).
His theory includes experience, perception, cognition, and behavior. This type of
learning is important for business students, university programs, and students to
participate in.
There are several reasons that business students should learn experientially. This
method accelerates learning by using critical thinking, problem solving, and decision
making skills. Also, students are more engaged because the focus is on collaboration
with other students. When the student is learning by doing, the student gets a first
hand experience of what has been taught in the classroom. There are different
strategies and methods to improve classes so students can be taught in this way.
Including: group projects, brainstorming, getting involved in the classroom, sharing
ideas, and being open to new learning opportunities. In this way, it is different from
traditional learning methods and takes the learning
29. Death Jennings Poem
The author explores the idea of death, and how people are afraid of it up until they
ve lived long enough to not be afraid of it any longer. It wasn t hard for me to
discern the significance of this poem. I don t mean to boast about myself but rather
to highlight the fact that this poem is written very simply, even though the poem is
of a heavy topic. Because of this, I feel that the poem seems to give off a natural
feeling when reading. I believe that because the poem is so casual, it only emphasizes
its underlying meaning that deathis a natural occurrence.
In the first stanza, the author is expressing how this idea of being afraid of death for
so long can eventually cause a person to accept fate. The first line, while we were
fearing it, it came (52), highlights the fact that death is often nearer than when we
think it will be, and often occurs unexpectedly. This is line is relatable on many
levels because every human being on this planet believes that death will only happen
to them far in the future. We never consider the fact that it could happen anytime in
the present due to the fear of not existing anymore. Later on in the stanza, ... Show

The author uses clothes as a metaphor of the fear of death that people wear
everyday of their lives. I believe that it s very clever of the author to use such a
simple item like clothes because something we all can relate to, much like how the
fear of death can be relatable as well. The author expresses the fact that every
morning people wake up and put on these fresh clothes everyday with the intent of
living their lives in the fullest possible way due to the fact that it s far better than to
be afraid of the inevitable. When the author mentions this, it makes me wonder if
she made the mistake of not following this advice and instead lived her life
cowering in fear. If that were the case, it only makes the poem more

Grizzly...
This essay will discuss Statement 1 as given: Treadwell was, I think, meaning
well...Those bears are big and ferocious and they come equipped to kill you and eat
you . . . He got what he deserved, in my opinion. I am in agreement with this
opinion. Treadwell acted foolishly, and the only surprising aspect of the result was
that it took so long to happen.
Grizzly bears in their native habitat are wild animals. The bears (grizzlies, brown,
and other varieties) found in Alaska are among the largest on earth. Grizzly human
interaction is best done minimally, if at all: the only reason that bears do not react as
quickly as they might to humans (considering them prey) is that in their habitats, they
have access to plenty of food and they do not ... Show more content on

In terms of the grizzly bear, its behavior is complex, but should never be mistaken as
mimicking human behavior. Craighead, Sumner, and Mitchell (1995) note that in
Yellowstone National Park, a prime laboratory for studying human grizzly
interactions, the relationship has been uneasy at best. They note that bears have a
concept of personal space and that a seemingly placid animal (male or female) can
become awesomely aggressive and attack instantaneously. (Craighead et al.149
150). Treadwell, as many Yellowstone visitors do, made the mistake that just
because the bears were tolerating his presence at one time meant that they had
made up their minds about him and would leave him alone. This was an error of
anthropomorphism, as the bears were clearly not perceiving him the way another
human would, i.e., as friend or foe; their lack of reaction to him didn t mean that
they saw him as a friend. This was a fairly stupid assumption for Treadwell to have
made, particularly given his professed knowledge of and fascination with the bears.
Therefore, I am in agreement with the statement that Treadwell did not treat the bear
human relationship appropriately, i.e., by acknowledging that they were wild,
unpredictable, and dangerous animals. He did indeed act as if the bears were people
wearing bear costumes, as Sam Egli put it. It may have been fascinating and even
spiritually uplifting

32. The Issue Of First Amendment Law
For many years, there has been a struggle of protection and privacy between
government rules and citizen freedoms under the First Amendment. The controversial
issues that fall under First Amendment law have been disputed continuously. Because
the First Amendment protects citizens against government interference of freedom of
expression, the boundaries of this rule have always been pushed. One of the most
common, yet controversial, issues of First Amendment law is the subject of copyright
and infringement. Although the subject may not seem major at first, many different
issues and controversies have risen and become more common than ever over the
years. The issues that have become pertinent to this subject are endless, including
trademark infringement, piracy, theft, fraud, plagiarism, and many more. With the
coming of age and advancement of technology, these cases have become more
common and appear more often than ever before. Government officials have always
been strict about copyright rulings, and have tried to deliver fair and just rulings for
both parties involved under First Amendment rules. Because the owner s work and
material is protected under the First Amendment, it gets tricky when involving
another party that can claim the same work of art. In short, the definition of
copyright has always been cut and dry: allowing owners of creative works the right
to control and profit from their creations. It is basically recognized as a form of
property ownership.

than out group members. In group favoritism (Tajfel Turner, 1979) has been
repeatedly perceived in both lab and real world situation. Muslims tended to allocate
more money to their ethnically in group members in a dictator game (Whitt Wilson,
2007). After Clinton s concession in 2008, democrats were more likely to behave
generously toward people who supported their own preferred candidate than the
people who supported other democratic candidate (Rand et al., 2009). Thus based on
the phenomena of in group favoritism, perceivers who were single might perceived
single target as more favorable than attached perceivers.
Why do people hold so many stereotypical beliefs towards singles? The main reason
seems to be an overemphasis on marriage. The majority of people assume that
married people were happier, less lonely, and more mature (Morris, DePaulo, Hertel,
Ritter, 2004). Western society maintains the ideology that marriage is the most
important social relationship (Day, Kay, Holmes, Napier, 2011). In U.S., at least 90
percent of adults have been married at some point in their life (Connidis, 2001). Thus

child) as more serious offenses as well as more likely to deserve punishment than

judgments based on the consequences of the action (e.g. the boy who accidently
broke 15 cups is naughtier than a boy who broke one cup while stealing), people
were able to make moral judgments not only by direct consequence but also by
motivation and intention behind behavior (e.g. the boy who broke one cup while

The author of the short poem Sadie and Maud is Gwendolyn Brooks. Sadie and
Maud grew up sisters, meaning they have the same parents, race, and sex. Sadie
was a wild girl who lived life to the fullest. Maud was an easygoing woman who
spent her time focusing on her education. This can be seen as we examine their
contrasting educations, lifestyles, and outcomes in life. The girls had a much
different view when it came to education. Maud was a wise lady who decided to go
to college so she can have a life to live on her own. Sadie, on the other hand,
thought it would be better for her to stay at home and she scraped life with a fine
tooth comb (lines3 4). Unlike Sadie, Maud cares about her life in the future. When it

37. The Tethered Generation By Kathryn Tyler
In her article The Tethered Generation for HR Magazine in May 2007, freelance
writer Kathryn Tyler asserts that due to the fact that millennials grew up with new
technologies such as the cell phone and internet, many of the skills they need to
integrate into the workforce is severely lacking. She goes on to support this argument
by addressing millennial connectivity and helicopter parents. With Tyler s background
in human resources and training and her proclamation of being member of generation
X, Tyler shares her observation that millennials entering the workforce are tethered to
technology, which in turn effects their work, communication, and decision making
skills in and out of the office. By supplying the reader with information about these
transgressions, Tyler builds her claim that HR professionals should work harder to
accommodate the millennials shortcomings. She appears to write in hopes of HR
professionals understanding why Millennials have developed into the people that
they are in order to provide HR professionals with a better understanding of them and
to teach these professionals how to deal with their millennial employees. Tyler s
explicit argument, which effectively appeals to her audience s perception of
millennials, is supported by an appealto ethos in which she employs statements from
credible professionals to optimize her argument. This strategy of opting to sparingly
use her own voice in the text poses a unique method of making her audience more

Both the external debt, as a ratio of GDP, and the public sector deficit had fallen to
36% and 1,5%, respectively. The dependence on the petroleum export was reduced
and it accounted for only 29% of exports in 1991, compared to 77% in 1982. There
had been a tremendous structural shift within sectors where the ownership, market
shares and responsibility between the government and the private sector became more
evenly distributed. The government was highly involved in public utilities,
petroleum, banking and some manufacturing industries, while the private sector
dominated the remaining areas (especially manufacturing, mining, commerce,
entertainment and service industries). The main economic goals of the Mexican
government in 1991 were to lower inflation, modernize the economy and improve
the standard of living for the poorest inhabitants. In order to control the inflation,
that had spiked to over 159% in 1987 (www.banxico.org.mx), the government
introduced several new policies: 1) reduce the fiscal deficit and the public sectors
internal debt, 2) control aggregate demand, 3) temper real wage increases, 4) limit
price increases, and 5) sterilize capital inflows. The government also developed
different measures in order to encourage foreign direct investments in Mexico. This
implied controlled devaluation rate of the peso (target per year of 5,5%), lowered

Canada experimented with prohibition in different provinces from 1901 to 1948
with P.E.I. being the last to repeal it. These laws turned out to be a disaster for
Canada however, which caused many problems in Canada. The idea was pushed by
the temperance movement who believed alcohol caused things like crime and
poverty. They also thought god wanted them to get rid of alcohol to make society
pure. In the end though the government realized their mistake and shifted their
position to regulating alcohol instead of banning it. They did this with laws against
underage drinking as well as drunk driving. Reasons these laws failed include them
being difficult to enforce, a loss of public support, and the fact that it failed to

These criminals showed up to supply the many consumer who still wanted alcohol
giving organized crime the opportunity to make huge profits. While all the bars and
liquor stores were closed speakeasies, which sold alcohol, were everywhere during
the prohibition era usually hidden within another establishment such as a hotel or
restaurant. These new powerful mobsters were known to bribe government officials
and when that didn t work they used extreme violence. The members of law
enforcement that remained honest would ve been left helpless to stop these people.
Support for the temperance movement had already diminished following World War
I. The lack of government support also contributed to poor legislation and weak
enforcement which allowed crime to thrive. The temperance movement had begun
to fall apart since women had already gotten the right to vote so they couldn t push
suffrage anymore. Activists moved onto different causes like labour reform and
alcohol was no longer an issue with the public. Canada also was beginning to see

43. The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act Essay
In the medical field or any other professions, privacy is paramount. One of the most
important things is confidentiality. In this case, patients should be able to trust that
they treating physicians will not disclose their personal information to other parties
without their consent. The question then becomes: Under what circumstances is it
alright for physicians to disclose private medical information to third party without
informed consent? Did Dr. Shapiro have the right to disclose Mr. Lovington s
private medical information to his wife Anna, who is also his patient? Nationally,
the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) was created to
ensure that patient data remained as confidential as it possibly could. The Privacy
Rule Act highlights the use and disclosure of confidential patient information. The
biggest achievement of this Privacy Rule is that it not only allows for patient data
to remain confidential, but it also ensures that there is a proper flow of
information that is required to care for the patient adequately. Under the 2016
Florida Statutes, section 456.057 of Florida Statutes defines a record owner as any
health care practitioner who, upon conducting a physical or mental examination,
creates a record of the results. It is important to understand just who a records
owner is so that the person who may be held liable in case of a disclosure of
information is known. A records owner id also said to include a person to whom

44. Essay On Criminal Relapse
In the Criminal Justice system, there are many arguments for areas of improvement,
but the focus of this paper is on the revitalization of prisoners and the way our
system can assist. Numerous studies have shown that criminals tend to come out of
prison worse than how they were when they came in, they may get involved in illegal
activities or gangs inside the prisonand they will likely be back in jail within the
next three years as statistics show in Langan and Levin s (2002) article on criminal
relapse stated. The goal of this paper is to inform the reader of the benefits of
helping to incorporate programs into prisons and create jobs inside and outside of
prisons for released and current convicts.

He found that providing inmates with drug treatments in prison is an effective way
to keep these people from reentering the criminal justice system from drugs or other
like charges. It has been found that the most vulnerable time for a relapse is within
the first and second month after their release from prison. Having these drug
treatment programs inside the prison help to educate the prisoners on the harms of
drug use and help them resist any urges. It is also found that they are much more
likely to enter community based treatment once on parole, which helps to teach and
reinforce relapse prevention techniques. Experts Lurigio and Swartz (1999) (as cited
in Olson and Lurigio, 2014) stated, that the relationship between drugs and crime is
extremely multifaceted. Drug addiction can cause harm to a person s brain and alter
their judgment. Therefore, drug treatment programs can help to turn these criminals

45. John Steinbeck Myths
The Pearl by John Steinbeck, takes place in the small village of La Paz, where
finding a hefty size pearl could mean better days for life. Living on the Baja
Peninsula tends to derive many pearl divers due to the stretched coastline, leading
Kino, the main character, like his ancestors before him, to become one. The novella
leads Kino and his dreams to a magnificent pearl and once with it, the pearlcarves a
path of greed, death, and destructions in Kino s life. While the pearl initially
represents great wealth for Kino and his family, it eventually becomes a symbol of
greed, death, and destruction. The pearl is symbolized as the holy grail of La Paz
and many of the divers believe that the pearl itself is a myth. But in the song... Show

The town absorbed the news of the Pearl and corrupted it, stirring up evil and
venom.The pearl takes on many different forms throughout the novella, shape
shifting its way into people s minds. This thing is evil, she cried harshly. This pearl
is like a sin! It will destroy us, and her voice rose shrilly. Throw it away, Kino. Let
us break it between stones. Let us bury it and forget the place. Let us throw it back
into the sea. It has brought evil. Kino, my husband, it will destroy us. And in the
firelight her lips and her eyes were alive with her fear (43 44). This shows that the
pearl has turned Kino s head, he wants more, and he needs more. Wanting more and
needing more comes to a price and Kino is about to pay for it. The pearl has
become my soul, said Kino. If I give it up I shall lose my soul... (73). The pearl is
not an entity or a spirit, it does not tell Kino what he should do. Kino has infatuated
himself with the thought of a better life and he has lost control of his own. And then
Kino s brain cleared from its red concentration and he knew the sound the keening,
moaning, rising hysterical cry from the little cave in the side of the stone mountain,

47. Technology And Technological Advancements
Technology s advancements The increasing capabilities of today s digital tools can
create harmful effects and habits on humanity. These days everyone has a
smartphone or computer with increasingly powerful technology. It is truly
impressive how far this technology has come just in the past several years; but is
it all as beneficial as advertized? With all the apps and accessories that come with
these powerful machines, it is easy for our generation to take advantage and abuse
the privileges associated with having these devices. In the article Is Google
Making Us Stupid , Nicholas Carr an American writer who has published books
and articles on technology, business, and culture states I m not thinking the way I
used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I m reading. Immersing myself in a
book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the
narrative or the turns of the argument, and I d spend hours strolling through long
stretches of prose. That s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often
starts to drift after two or three pages . I believe this is just one of the numerous
ways technological advancements have spiked our need for stimulation and dulled
our sense of acceptance with solitude and boredom. While I agree with Carr that
our concentration skills have lowered I would also like to shed light on the what
social media has done to our psychological make up. The age that children are
exposed to smart technology is quickly
48. Strengths And Weaknesses Of Communication, Teamwork,
And...
I have some weaknesses and strengths in regards to communication, teamwork, and
social intelligence. I am weak at;
Supporting others with their needs
Active listening
Being sympathetic towards others situations
Not interrupting others
Some of my strengths are;
I can analyze and understand other people s emotions very easily
I have a high social and emotional intelligence
I can control my actions to the point of being great at poker
I can communicate easily through the written language
I can put my thoughts in a logical sequence when writing
I m very natural at leading people and drawing out peoples opinions
I m good at public speaking and enjoy drawing peoples into what I m talking about.
My plan of action in order to work on my weaknesses is first and foremost practice
my active listening. I am very easily distracted (literally ADD), so for me listening
is a very hard task to do especially if I m not that interested in what the other person
has to say. I need to practice active listening more. I believe my biggest weakness
for active listening is I always try to put my two cents in. Sometimes people just
want to be heard. I m very opinionated so it s hard for me to understand that people
don t want my opinion. My next big weakness for active listening is not paying
attention or discarding what people have to say. In a group work environment not
paying attention to what others say is one of the worst things that you can do. I think

49. The Postsecondary State Policy Network
The readings from The Postsecondary State Policy Network , led by Jobs for the
Future, is a multistate partnership that is assists states in setting policies that will lead
to student success and completion. The supporters of this initiative are Achieving the
Dream, Completion by Design and Student Success Center. The primary focus is
supporting structured student pathways from connection to collegethrough
completion. The four pathways are connection, entry, progress and completion (2014).
I agreed with this initiative and believe the network is well needed, and is committed
to help states create legislative policies that recognize the need for institutional reform
strategies. By doing so it helps institutions provide structured pathways through
college for more students, while assisting students enroll efficiently in programs of
study that the student wants to pursue, and keep them engaged and progressing until
they complete their degree or certificate to compete in the job market (2014).
As an Educator having a program like this at Bergen Community College is essential
for many of the students that struggle with academic success and completion. This
program in collaboration with our already existing ATD would be ideal and would
help to set standards and policies that are very much needed.
The College Promise is a national, nonpartisan, local and state led higher education
initiative that works together with leaders from the business community,

Options allow investors to hedge against risk. If one expects stock prices to rise, then
he/she may like to invest in stocks. However, buying stocks also entails risk because
of price fluctuation. The risk will be potentially large in case price falls to zero. In
order to avoid risk one may like to buy a call option.

Minorities within Minorities in Song of Solomon
In a study about minorities, the groups that are differing from the dominant culture
are seen as homogeneous. But, if we look deeper into the groups, we can see that
there are distinctions among the minorities concerning lifestyle and social status. In
Toni Morrison s Song of Solomon the author provides examples in the background of
the story that shows people with differential identities of the general identity of the
minority group.

It is not for the sake of his family or to have fun, but to make everybody see his car.
These rides were a way to satisfy himself that he was indeed a successful man (31).
It is impressive how Morrison reflects Macon s desires in life with the route of the
Sunday rides: ...through the rough part of town, over the bypass downtown, and
headed for the wealthy white neighborhoods (32).
The difference between Milkman and his father is that he was born rich and does
not have the ambitions of his father. But, because of the way he was raised, he
cannot prevent himself from acting different from the African American society. In
fact, we see that he has only Guitar as a friend. He likes to spend time with women
in parties. The result of his wealthy life and the fact that he was raised in a city
shows us his distinction from the society when he arrives in Shalimar.
When Milkman talks with the shopkeeper Mr. Solomon, he grows up the
anticipation of the people around him. The reasons why they are offended by
Milkman is clearly stated in the following passage:
They looked with hatred at the city Negro who could buy a car as if it were a bottle
of whiskey because the one he had was broken. And what s more, who had said so in
front of them. He hadn t bothered to say his name, nor ask theirs, had called them
them, and would certainly despise their days, which should have been spent
harvesting their own crops, instead of waiting around
52. Australia Fraud Research Paper
Fraud costs the Australian economy approximately $3 billion annually (Standards
Australia 2008), and its frequency and financial impact continues to grow (Standards
Australia 2008 ; KPMG 2008). Many organizations are poorly prepared to prevent
and detect fraud (KPMG 2009 ; KPMG 2008 ; KPMG 2007 ; KPMG 2004). Fraud
prevention is not perfect therefore, fraud detection is crucial. Fraud detection
strategies are intended to quickly and efficiently identify those frauds that have
circumvented preventative measures so that an organization can take appropriate
corrective action (Standards Australia 2008). Occupational fraud is divided in three
categories. The production of fraudulent statements is most of the time orchestrated
at executive level,

Individual Privacy vs. National Security
Individual Privacy vs. National Security is something that many people have argued
for years. Many people have forgotten what a disturbance September 11, 2001 was to
everyone in America. This was the day that 2,992 lives were stolen in the attacks by
the Taliban on U.S. soil. Due to this attack the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) along with the Federal Government has put in place many
new security regulations. Many people have lost touch with why these regulations
were put in place. As well, many people have lost touch with why TSA is using full
body scanners and other security devices. On September 11, 2001 19 members of a

The device carried by Abdulmutallab was not detectable by any device in wide
spread use at the time, other than a dog trained to detect bombs with its sense of
smell. As a result, advanced imaging technology (AIT) machinery, also known as
full body scanners, were deployed more widely across America. Even though these
full body scanners were recognized by security experts as being better and more
effective at detecting prohibited items than the ordinary metal detectors that had been
in use for decades passengers objected to the new scanners, because they are able to
take images through the subject s clothing, and their alternative, a physical pat down
inspection by a TSA security officer similar to what police officers use to search
subjects when they are taken into custody. Critics claim AIT scanner images and pat
downs violate the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the
right of citizens to be protected from unreasonable searches, but those same critics
have not offered viable alternatives that would safeguard the traveling public from
attacks like those of Abdulmutallab. In other words, some activists became more
focused on safeguarding their personal privacy and rights at the risk of their personal
safety.
54. Lower The Drinking Age
Should the Drinking Age be Lowered from Twenty One to a Younger Age
When people think of drinking, they think of fun games and parties. However, this
depiction is wrong. When individuals under twenty one drink, consequences emerge.
In the United States, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is twenty one.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), the legal
drinking age set at twenty one saves about 900 lives on the road annually (James C.
Fell). By having the drinking age at twenty one, the amount of alcohol consumed
decreases. Less drinking results in a drop in potential risks and dangerous acts often
associated with alcohol. Individuals under the age of twenty one are not mature
