Interpretive Essay
Crafting an interpretive essay can be a challenging endeavor that demands a unique blend of
analytical prowess and creative expression. The intricacies involved in interpreting a given
subject require a deep understanding of the material, coupled with the ability to synthesize
diverse ideas and perspectives. It goes beyond merely summarizing information; it necessitates a
keen insight into the underlying meanings, symbolism, and context.
One of the primary difficulties lies in striking the right balance between personal interpretation
and adherence to scholarly conventions. The interpretive essay demands a nuanced approach
where the writer navigates between subjectivity and objectivity, presenting their viewpoint while
also grounding it in evidence from the text or source material. This delicate dance between
personal insight and academic rigor can be a formidable task for many writers.
Moreover, the process involves a substantial amount of research to support one's interpretations
adequately. Diving deep into the material, understanding the historical and cultural context, and
exploring various scholarly perspectives require time and dedication. The challenge is not only in
finding relevant information but also in discerning which elements are most crucial to bolster the
essay's overarching interpretation.
Additionally, conveying complex ideas in a coherent and engaging manner can be a hurdle.
Transforming intricate thoughts into a clear and compelling narrative requires honed writing
skills. Striking the right tone, maintaining a logical flow, and ensuring that each paragraph
contributes meaningfully to the overall thesis demand a high level of craftsmanship.
In conclusion, the difficulty of writing an interpretive essay lies in the delicate balance between
personal interpretation and scholarly objectivity, the extensive research needed to support one's
claims, and the challenge of presenting complex ideas in a coherent and engaging manner.
Nevertheless, mastering this art can be immensely rewarding, offering a deeper understanding of
the subject matter and a refined skill set for future academic endeavors.

The Importance Of An Epic Hero In Beowulf
An epic hero is a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great
achievements or affected by grand events. The epic hero, a cultural legend, embarks
on a quest in search of fame and glory, and encounters challenges throughout their
journey. No matter the adversity, the epic hero maintains bravery and courage,
never backing down. However, what the epic hero does not know is that the real
reason for a quest is always self knowledge (Foster 3). In the epic Beowulf,
Anonymous employs the affection of a king, bravery in battle, an eternal quest
and a lasting legacy to show Beowulf as an epic hero. Beowulf embodies the Anglo
Saxon archetype of an epic hero. A key moment in Beowulf, is when king Hrothgar
welcomes Beowulf to his kingdom and says But to table, Beowulf, a banquet in
your honor:/Let us toast your victories, and talk of the future (ll. 223 224). Here it
is shown that even a king is acknowledging Beowulf s bravery and is throwing him
a feast, one of the highest honors a king could bestow upon anyone, showing
Hrothgar s great admiration for Beowulf. During the feast when Unferth questions
Beowulf s honor, Beowulf refutes his claims and inspires king Hrothgar with a
speech: The Geats will show him courage, soon/He can test his strength in battle. And
when the sun/Comes up again, opening another/Bright day from the south, anyone in
Denmark will be able to enter Herot (ll. 335 338). Much like they typical Anglo
Saxon epic hero Anonymous clearly
Electronic Technology For Curriculum Observation
Electronic Technology for Curriculum Observation Documentation Michelle
Valladares MGMT 7003 December 4, 2014 Many childcare centres in North
America have introduced technology as a natural element of the classroom. Young
learners have become part of the iGeneration in which the use of technology comes
to be a natural way of learning, interacting with others and making sense of the
world (Pellerin, 2012). In regards to documentation and assessment, there have been
different digital tools that are creating a new way of evaluating and observing how
children learn. According to research by Pellerin (2012), assessment for the 21st
century learning and teaching requires a shift from assessment of learning toward
assessment strategies for learning. In order for teachers to understand assessment
strategies for learning they must see documentation under a new digital perspective.
Documentation now includes gathering of tangible evidence from a variety of
means such as learning stories, photographs, video and audio recordings of the
students learning process (ELECT, 2007). Effective documentation will not only
gather information but also tell a story and purpose of an event, experience, or
development. In a digital era, technology tools and applications like Ipads and Ipods
are creating a learning experience for children, teachers and families unlike any other
tools in the past. In the 21 century, almost every educator and adult in North America
has a
The Modernist Movement And The International Style
Movement
Throughout the Villa Dall ava, 1991, Rem Koolhaas ideologies have been
deconstructed, reconstructed and reproduced such as it complies with Le Corbusier
s five ideas of modernism, where it employs the use of pilotes , roof terrace, the
open floor plan, the free façade and the horizontal window to his design. These
major elements are key to the modernist movement and the international style
movement. Rem Koolhaas has made conflict with these key ideas such as the slanted
columns as Le Corbusiers idea was to use simple forms discussed by the early
modernist. In a sense it holds these elements of deconstruction such an alien form
within it design.
Le Corbusier s Villa Savoye, 1929, has very similar links to the Villa Dall ava as
Rem Koolhaas and his client wanted the Villa Dall ava to be a modern version of
the Villa Savoye. These links are obvious as they are the five points of architecture
which Le Corbusier had set as his architectural principles. They consist of pilotis,
free designing of the ground plan, free design of the façade, the horizontal
windows and a roof garden. One main connection that sticks out is the pilotis as Le
Courbusier had used it as geometric lines around the Villa Savoye, Rem Koolhaas
had used pilotis with his own alien twist on them swaying them off center, putting
them where ever need be.
Koolhaas s own architecture, it need hardly be said, does nothing of the kind. And yet
Koolhaas s modernism, brilliantly inventive, nonetheless does not
Let It Go Parody
Let It Brew Up Some Laughter Let It Go is a popular song from Disney s Frozen,
which is about a girl named Anna who searches for her sister, Elsa, to break the
spell of a perpetual winter she has cast on her kingdom. Elsa sings Let It Go after
years of fretting what others would think if they found out about her dangerous,
magical powers. Let It Brew is only one of many parodies of Let It Go that exist
because Frozen is such a well known movie. The parodies typically reflect on some
dramatic event which exaggerates the minor struggles teens and young adults
experience in America. For example, a college student changed the lyrics to express
her stress that comes from finals week. Another young girl changed the words to be

what made him write (Beardsley and Wimsatt Jr.). I utilized the idea of intentional
fallacy in the creation of my parody by assuming my audience was familiar with Let

I wrote it in the exact way I thought would make people laugh. Moreover, my
targeted audience is intentional because I assume the reader would know the original

parody since the song will elicit laughter if and only if the audience recognizes the

Robert Graves’ I, Claudius
Robert Graves I, Claudius Capturing a Strange Moment in History
Tiberius reign over the Roman Empire stretched the longest of any emperor during
Claudius lifetime. This may be a good reason why Robert Graves, in his historical
novel published in 1934, I, Claudius devoted more than a third of it to the reign of
Tiberius. I, Claudius , told through the eyes of the half wit Claudius, records the
history of the first Imperial family at Rome, including the reigns of Augustus,
Tiberius, Caligula, and even Claudius himself. Livia, Augustus wife and Tiberius
mother, played a crucial role throughout the reign of Augustus and Tiberius by
eliminating all possible heirs other than her son to the throne of the emperor. By the

He once said, Let them hate me, so long as they obey me (Graves 38). By this time
Livia had already eliminated Marcellus, Augustus first preference as his successor.
Tiberius could not be totally blamed for his fortunes. As Claudius states:
He was in an unhappy position, forced against his will to be continually in the
public eye, now as general in some frontier campaign, now as Consul at Rome, now
as special commissioner to the provinces; when all he wanted was a long rest and
privacy....Moreover, with the dignity of the Imperial family to maintain and Livia
continually spying on him, he had to be very careful of his private morals. He had
few friends, being, as I think I have said, of a suspicious, jealous, reserved and
melancholy temperament, and those rather hangers on than friends, whom he treated
with the cynical contempt that they deserved. (66)
After Augustus died, however, Tiberius became emperor. The Senate, knowing very
well that to even attempt to return to the republican form of government would be a
futile effort, one by one voted him all of the honors that Augustus had received. But
Tiberius never used the name Augustus, except when writing letters to foreign kings.
He feared his mother Livia, partially because Livia constantly reminded him that if
her crimes were uncovered,
Hamilton s Judicial System
The Constitution of the United States provides the essential framework for
establishing the young republic. After the American Revolution, it was necessary for
the new nation to establish their governance across the confederation of states.
However, the founders were met with opposing, diverse views on how the nation
should be governed through a constitution that would serve as the backbone of the
nation s government. It would be these decisions within the Constitution that
establish the parameters in which our federal government will be structured for the
years ahead. The solution for making agreements upon what would be included in the
Constitution and by which parameters were discussed through a series of essays that
were to be known as... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Their method of how to appoint federal judges and them long life tenures may give
the judicial branch too much power. However, Hamilton assures that the judiciary
would not only be the weakest and the least powerful, but the judiciary has neither
Force nor Will, but merely judgement (198). Hamilton explains to the audience that
it is the executive branch of government that holds the sword and the legislative
branch who commands the purse...[and] prescribes the rules by which the duties
and rights of every citizen are to be regulated (198). It is with this crucial point that
Hamilton ensures that the role of the judiciary is to act independently to solely
uphold the Constitution and the fundamental rights of the people. He even further
develops that it is necessary to keep federal judges for life long tenures (based on
good behavior) by excellently stating that there are few who are qualified as, it is
indispensable that they should be bound down by strict rules and precedents, (202).
Hamilton expresses that these approaches will benefit the Constitution, as the federal
judges will essentially live to uphold the Constitution and the people whose rights are
protected by
The Overall Concept Of Public Relations
The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss various image problems or
publicity needs within a company through their specific Public Relations
Campaigns. Through the study and research of this topic, deeper understanding of
the overall concept of Public Relations will hopefully be attained. A corporate
identity or image is the comprehensive image of a corporation, business or firm
from the view of the public, including customers, employees and investors. It is
essential that good corporate image is achieved within a corporation, so that the
public may view the corporation as positive or beneficial. Therefore, if the image
of a corporation is affected negatively or perceived by the public to be bad, it can
damage not only the corporation s reputation and credibility, but also its appeal to
the public. Publicity is the distribution of information with the goal of increasing
awareness among the public on a specific concept or entity. This entity may range
from a person to an organization; it can be an object or an idea; it could be
anything thinkable. As long as there is a concept or entity, it can be publicized. The
main point of publicity is to have the public gain awareness on something. In the
business world, publicity is usually used to create awareness and understanding of a
corporation, therefore increasing popularity and overall image. There is a famous
saying, There is no such thing as bad publicity. This sentence is true of publicity in the
A Brief Note On Chad Cameroon Petroleum Development
And...
In 2003, construction ended on a pipeline project more commonly referred to as
the CCPP (Chad Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project). The
main actors in this project besides the World Bank consisted of a triumvirate of oil
companies with Exxon Mobil at the helm, along with Petronas Malaysia
ChevronTexaco. The project was under many watchful eyes in the global political
theater as it hoped to prove as a model for other developing countries. It also sought
to break the spell of the resource curse which it is generally known, is that countries
rich in natural resources, specially oil, tend to suffer from lower living standards,
slower growth rates and higher incidence of conflict than their resource poor
counterparts. (Auty, 1997)
The project entailed constructing a pipeline which would begin in the Doba basin in
Chad which was said to contain in excess of 1 billion barrels of oil and stretch
southwest through to the Cameroonian port city of Kribi. This pipeline measures an
impressive 1,070 kilometers and had an initial price tag of $3.5 billion; which was
later then confirmed by Exxon Mobil to, in fact, cost $4.2 billion.
Unsurprisingly, the main reward from these barrels of black gold would be a
monetary reward for all the parties involved. For Chad, the revenues were estimated
to be $5 billion over the course of 25 years and this didn t consider other potential oil
fields. The World Bankattempted to ensure that any revenues on the Chad side,
Martian Chronicles Literary Analysis
Throughout Ray BradburyВґs Martian Chronicles, we get a taste of a utopian and
dystopian fiction. I believe Ray was trying to convey that rampant colonization
kills the society and environment of the victim. Through every story we can see
how bad Mars is turning out due to the ignorance and quickness of the colonizers.
There is speculation that Ray could be describing the future in a ВЁfictionalВЁ
way, in other words, he could be predicting the fate of the earth or America. I also
believe that after the four expeditions the settlers were still driven to colonize even
though the previous trips failed. I come to believe that Ray thinks all these dreams
and visions the martians have, is what will happen to us in America. It could all be

They come to Mars with intentions to peacefully settle and undermine part of the
society the Martians have built. Many Martians have hallucinations of this rocket and
its humans. On page 20, the Martian woman is distraught of this dream she keeps on
having and consults with Mr. Iii who is forced to put an end to this colonization. At
this point Ray explains how each Martian has a different view and hallucination of
the colonizers. Also, how the humans can communicate with the Martians by
telepathy. This is just another way Ray communicates his thoughts to us.
In the story ВЁUsher IIВЁ, we see a reference back to Edgar Allan PoeВґs ВЁFall of
the House of UsherВЁ. In this story William Stendahl remakes the house and creates
mechanical apes, bats, and vampires. During this episode and investigator from
Moral Climate condemns his house. Stendahl kills him and has no relevance to his
death from the state. I believe in this portion of the story Ray is focused on the
fictional part of things rather than the realistic non fictional possible things. I feel
that this drags the reader away from the futuristic side of the story to create a more

Developing Agile Software Development Methodology
Introduction
Ever since the Agile Manifesto came into existence in 2001, it has led many agile
software development processes to spurt up. Dynamic Systems Development Method
(DSDM), Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), SCRUM
and Crystal Methodologies are some of the most famous agile software development
methodology famous today (Vlaanderen et. al, 20011), (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012). In
the recent research done by (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012), it s been found that XP and
scrum are the two most common agile methodologies used currently. In their
empirical research (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012) also found that most of the existing
studies on agile methodology focus on XP and there are very limited studies done
on SCRUM. The purpose of this literature review research is to analyze the existing
research available on SCRUM methodology. This literature review will provide a
broad overview on various information researchers are providing on agile software
development methodology, keeping Scrum agile methodology in the focal point. In
addition, this literature review will also address the advantages and disadvantages of
SCRUM agile methodology. This research will help the audience to gaze over the
recent study over scrum and will help in making the decision whether Scrum is the
right agile methodology for their software development project.

The Influence Of Democracy In Ancient Rome
The early communications and developments within ancient cities and societies have
inspired and calculated present day interactions within the world. Rome s political
structure of democracy and assurance of no absolute power has influenced and
shaped modern democracy. The Roman culture has also impacted the current culture
of architect and art through the implementation of a common Forum for political and
social interaction. The endeavors and trials of ancient cities continue to impact the
world s future by example and destruction. Early political structures created by the
Phoenicians, Romans, and Greeks display the characteristics and differences of
present day governments around the world. In 18th century B.C., the Phoenicians
(the seafaring people) established independent city states (17). In addition, the Greeks
circa 590 B.C., accepted the independent city state system to address the whole
population in public meetings (18). The independent city state system includes direct
representation between the citizens approaching the law. In contrast, present day
democracy incorporates indirect representation through elected representatives
approving the country s laws. In 59 B.C., Julius Caesar was elected to the Senate of

Settled people in Roman cities had the opportunity to accumulate material goods to
represent their social status. In particular, the Roman elite was educated and literate
which provided them skills and opportunities to serve on the Roman government or
commit to business or trade (22). In present day society, the gap between rich and
poor is distinct in societies all around the modern world. Furthermore, the lack of
education provided for the poor and less fortunate is the true cause of this alerting
gap. For Roman societies and modern societies alike, social class has become a
hurtful and crucial way to succeed in

There is a deliberate juxtaposition in the opening pages of Graceland between the

copy of Ellison s American classic Invisible Man. The monstrous slum of Lagosis
crushing in its poverty; Elvis, despite the squander of his personal circumstance,
somehow doesn t fit the image of his city. Why, in a novel based in its exploration of
a poverty stricken African slum, would the protagonist live entirely outside of the
normality of his setting? Elvis is an aspiring dancer; frequently ambiguous in both his
gender and sexuality, the unprecedentedly moralistic teenager constantly contradicts...

It is here that the power of globalization is most evident; Elvis is molded and guided
by intangibilities, and the city of Lagos is also understood through the ways in which
it contrasts America. Despite the literal geographical separation between Lagos and
Nigeria, the colonialist influence of the western world and the United States are
clearly chartered throughout the novel. Admiring himself from many angles, he
thought it was a shame he couldn t wear makeup in public. That s not true, he
mentally corrected himself. He could, like the transvestites that haunted the car
parks of hotels favored by rich locals and visiting whites. But like them, he would
be a target of some insult, or worse, physical beatings, many of which were meted
out by the police, who then took turns with their victims in the back of their vans. It
was exasperating that he couldn t appear in public looking as much like the real
Elvis Presley as possible. Struggling with his identity, Elvis desires to wear makeup
without fearing the retaliation of his community. It is in the implanted whiteness and
pockets of Americanism where that freedom is most closely accessible. Yet, the
physical reality of the hotels (their literal placement in Lagos) meant that the
governing moral principles of Lagos prevented Elvis from being anything but an
outcast and a victim if he chose to express himself. The American presence in Lagos
managed to be pervasive while simultaneously having no palliative effect on Elvis
estrangement within the slum. The cast of characters employed by Albani, from the
elitist white tourists to Redemption to Uncle Joseph all serve to construct an image
of Lagos in relation to America. It wasn t singularly the explicit references to
America or to Elvis s connection to the United States that aided Albani in his

himself otherwise. In a fantasizing fashion, Tolkien takes the reader on Bilbo s

One Child Policy: Right or Wrong

the rest of the world in the arts and sciences. On the other hand, over the last decade,
it has also plummeted economically. A big factor for this massive downfall is its
overpopulation within the country. Due to this exponential increase in population,
the Chinese government has installed a one child policy . The one child policy solved
the overpopulation issue in China, but it also introduced a variety of other problems
to the country. In the early ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Chinese take their cultural beliefs very seriously and will do anything to keep
their ancestors happy. The fact of carrying the family name on to their next
generation should not determine whether a child should live or die. The bottom
line is that girls in China receive far less attention and resources than boys and are
deemed in superior in society. (Fitzpatrick) A lot of people found it easy to hide
their children. Many people had more than one child and did not let the
government know. The biggest problem coming from this was the children that
were not registered did not receive any medical benefits. It was as if they never did
exist. They call this group of unregistered children the black population . The black
population makes it very difficult for the government to keep records of the
country s population. (Hays) These children are not allowed to go to school, and
later will have difficulty getting permission to marry, to move, and for other life
choices requiring the government s permission. It s as if the children are there in
reality, but they do not get treated like a regular Chinese citizen. (Watts) Another
serious problem that comes to the surface as a result of the one child policy is the
four two one problem. This is the idea that because of the policy, there will be four
grandparents to every two parents to every one child. In essence, a single child will
have only two parents and four
Sexist Stereotypes Of Men And Women
The sexist stereotypes of men and women significantly enforced their roles in the
Vietnam War. While the draft excluded women, protecting them from war s
brutality and tragedies, men were forced from their homes to be enlisted in the
army. In Tim O Brien s The Things They Carried, a platoon is comprised of
struggling young men whose lives are challenged each day. On the other hand,
women blissfully live in the states, provided with complete comfort and security,
both of which the soldiers are not able to acquire. There is a tremendous discrepancy
between the lives at war and in the states. Those who are not exposed to the world
outside their own have an inability to empathize with the emotional baggage that the
soldiers carry. Throughout... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
O Brien s use of Martha s carelessness manifests a representation of society s
abandonment of the soldiers. Society left the soldiers without support like Martha
does to Cross by not inquiring more about the war. The same case pertains to
Dobbins and his girlfriend. One day, Dobbins receives mail where his girlfriend
dumped him. It was a hard blow. Dobbins went quiet for a while, staring down at
her letter (112). Like Martha, Dobbins s girlfriend does not sympathize with the
pain of the soldier. She is unable to consider the relentless brutality that Dobbins is
confronted with at war, and discards the idea that she may be his motivation to
keep fighting and to stay alive. Instead, Dobbins s girlfriend breaks up with him as
he continues to fight for survival. Dobbins s emotions are not taken into account,
so his girlfriend carelessly moves on with her own life, leaving Dobbins alone.
Losing this direct connection to home results in a loss of security which is what
society did to the soldiers, so they were ostracized and left to fight and cope by
themselves. The representation of the lack of society s support continues to be seen
through women s insensitivity towards the soldiers pain by prioritizing their lives
even after the war. After telling Kiley s story about slaughtering the baby buffalo, O

an inventor, architect, musician, mathmation, engineer, astronomy, writer, historian,
and geologist. So you could say that Da Vinci was a Renaissance man, meaning that
he was pretty much good at everything he did. Da Vinci s most notable works of art

Da Vinci s artwork of The Last Supper is as a piece of art that captures the moment
of Christ just after he tells his disciples that one of them will betray him is a very
influential moment of the bible and is beautifully depicted in this art work. I
believe this work of art is a stand alone piece of art that is great in that it shows
Christ in the moment having his hands spread apart showing that they are pointed
at a piece of bread and a glass of wine. Which in turn represents the body of Christ
in the bread and the blood of Christ in the wine, which is the sacrament. What is
also interesting about the painting is that Jesus s hand that is reaching for the wine
is also near a dish on the table which Judas is reaching for symbolizing that fact that
Judas is the one who betrays Jesus and has a bag of silver in his other hand in the
painting. As for William Byrd, I believe his music is beautiful in the fact that it is
very calming and easy listening, which makes me just want to listen to more of it.
His style of music reminds me of the Gothic era of music in a way because of the
deep echo voices in the background, but it has more to it as the other singers bring a
more full sound to the piece of music and make the texture a nice soft but abrasive
type of listening that has emotion in its sound. I enthusiastically enjoyed
The Importance Of Prisons In The Prison System
Summary
The United States currently holds around 2 million prisoners, or around 25% of
the world s prison population (Prisonstudies.org). Furthermore, a large percentage
of American prisoners are from minority groups, and many others are charged for
petty crimes such as non violent drug offenses. People convicted of low level
crimes experience the same kind of treatment as what a violent convict would
reasonably receive. These convicts tend to be deprived from basic rights, get into
gang fights on a daily basis and are emotionally deprived.
Across the world, different countries treat their prisoners differently. There are some
countries, like Brazil, that completely deprive prisoner s rights. On the other hand,
prisoners in Norway are given VIP treatment to be able to integrate themselves to
society once again. It is unfortunate that these extreme differences exist across the
globe. Unlike Brazil and Norway, America has average if not, below average
treatment in prisons.
The correctional prison system spends a great deal of money on its system; it is
greater than the school budget (Kelly). Why is the US government investing more in
its prisons rather than in its educational facilities? In addition, the most notorious
prisons stuff as many prisoners into the tiny cells. The conditions are merely
inhumane, and the government keeps funding these correctional institutions. From
our research, we have learned that American prisoners deserve better resources for

examples would include the first models of tanks, machine guns, airplanes and
aircraft carriers(History 1). As the war progressed in years, the weapons and machines
got substantially better. These improvements contributed and influenced modern war
tactics which in the end, results in an overall more deadlier war.
Tanks provided a substantial difference during the war. It increased mobility on the
battlefield and in due course broke the stalemate of trench warfare (WW1 Facts 1).
The vast idea of the tank was constructed in 1915 by a British Army colonel named
Ernest Swinton and William Hankey, a secretary of the Committee for Imperial
Defense. The first tank prototype, Little Willie, was revealed in September 1915. It
was a great advancement of war technology and inspired and influenced other
countries to come up with their own models. But when Little Willie hit the
battlefield, it turned out to be a complete bust. It struggled to terrain the trenches and
would often get caught in them. It traveled very slowly and and quickly became
overheated. Because of this, the British decided to make a newer and better tank
known as Big Willie (History 1). It quickly became known across the world that other
Pros And Cons Of Drinking Soda
A can of coca cola, 12 fl oz, contains 39g of sugar. This equals out to roughly about
9.75 teaspoons of sugar in a single can of coca cola. The American Heart

sugar per day. Just a can of coca cola is enough for your sugar intake for one day.
Although you may enjoy that nice, cool, refreshing taste of a freshly opened can of
soda, it can lead to major effects in your daily life. People should not be drinking

Warriors Don t Cry By Melba Pattillo Beals
On May 17th, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Brown v. Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas, officially making the separation of blacks and whites in
public schools unconstitutional (Beals 12). This ultimately led to a constant struggle
in the South to keep schools segregated. The most notable situation occurred in the
town of Little Rock, Arkansas during the 1957 school year. Nine black students
volunteered to integrate into Central High. This constant struggle to turn the
Supreme Court ruling into a societal norm was documented by one of the Little Rock
Nine. Melba Pattillo Beals s novel, Warriors Don t Cry, depicts the forces in favor of
integration, forces opposing integration, and the constant adversity faced by the Little
Rock Nine.
The multiple forces in favor of integration were determined to gain access to Central
High School and integrate public schools in the south. Before any integration was
possible in the United States, the NAACP, or the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, was forced to file a lawsuit in the Federal District
Court to integrate public schools immediately due to the public and state backlash
towards integration (Beals 20). Judge Ronald Davies declared that Governor Faubus
had thwarted the court approved plan of integration furthering the movement to
integrate Central High (Beals 68). After the lawsuit was settled, the Little Rock Nine
was scheduled to integrate into Central High School. However, even after these

In doing so, she does use carefully worded claims to advance her argument. In her
second page, she begins with the claim we could usefully start by refusing the
orthodoxy, even among feminists, of seeing crime fiction as inherently, or even an
historically masculine form (Levy В¶4). This is the first real paragraph in which
she begins to advance her thesis. In later paragraphs she continues with this notion
and says, together with not seeing crime fiction as necessarily masculine, we could
also use the term genre more carefully and flexibly, particularly given the current
critical interest in genre theory (В¶5). This carries out the idea of crime fiction not
being specifically masculine, but it begins to change the discussion to the genre
itself, not whether it is masculine or feminine. The next paragraph begins with, while
a knowledge of the histories and literary possibilities of various genres is useful for
readers and for writers, it is important not to become victims of an inflexible,
ahistorical, understanding of these forms (В¶6). These three claims show that Levy
plainly advances her claims to advance her argument, subtly transitioning from one

Legalizing Assisted Suicide Persuasive Essay
With the advances in medicine, physicians have the ability to extend a patient s
life many years passed what was possible even a mere fifty years ago. However,
the quality of life of those extended years has become a major topic of discussion.

Also, it would relieve the pain of terminal patients and open a door of opportunity

The most commonly known forms are passive and active euthanasia. Passive is
when a patient refuses life saving medical treatment, and active is when lethal

guidance, and means to take his or her own life with the intention that they be used

Effects Of The Aztecs During The Conquistadors
Mexico was one of the main points of the conquistadors conquest. Mexico was home
to two of the biggest Pre Colombian civilizations, the Aztecs and the Mayans. The
Mayans and Aztecs both faced the wrath of the conquistadors, as they were both
conquered very easily due to the Spanish s advanced weaponry. After conquering the
natives, the Spanish would rule over that land for anout 300 years. This new ruling
came with new foods, races, animals, and changes that effected the natives.
One of things that was brought to Mexico during the Colombian Exchange, although
unintentonally, was disease. The Spanish brought diseases such as smallpox, measles,
tuberculosis, and mumps. These were diseases that the natives had not been exposed
to, so they had no immunity to them. Even though the Spanish did have much more
advanced weaponry than the natives, it was the diseases that wiped out most of the
native population. It is believed that within a century of the arrival of the Spanish,
the population of the Aztecs decreased by 80 95%, going from 12.5M to roughly
about 1.5M in population (History of Disease). The Spanish shared the same fate, but
not as severe, many died from syphillis. A disease that was much more dangerous
during that time than it is today. (Columbian Exchange)
The second thing brought over from Spain was animals. The most influential animal
that was brought to Mexico by the Spanish was the horse, which played a significant
role in the colonization of the Aztecs and

Individualism is the belief of self reliance. Texas is also known for being on its own.
Which leads to its famous saying, you ve got nobody to blame but yourself. They
are all about being the self made man. An individualist prefers privacy, is suspicious
of public institutions, and is an independent contractor. This attitude ties into our low
active government. Government is sought out to be at low cost and out of the way
of its voters. Texas government is very limited, and has a legislature that meets
biennially. Due to our isolation, public education is under funded and is at its high in
many court battles and legislative conflicts. The heart of individualism would be
laissez faire. In Britannica, laissez faire is the policy of minimum governmental
interference in the economic affairs of individuals and society. Laissez faire is
basically telling government to leave them alone. The whole concept is to keep
minimum government interference in business.
Moralism is all about the community and a commonwealth. They are suspicious of
private institutions and interests. An example would be social security, social welfare
programs, and public education programs. A moralist is all about being equal with
people, everyone needs a fair share. Austin Texas has a lot of business there. They are
big or moralism because of its big community.

John Rawls in A Theory of Justice argues against average utilitarianism by appealing
to self respect; and that his principles of justice account for self respect unlike average
utilitarianism. In this paper I will present Rawls s argument from self respect and
raise both a concern with his argumentation and an objection to his argument. The
concern will regard him prematurely assuming the public commitment is to his
principles. The objection will argue that thanks to willing participants, a sacrificefor
average utility does not entail a loss of self respect. I will also provide a response
to this objection by way of a widely hated dictator losing self respect for greater
average utility. Finally, I will counter this response by arguing that the consequences
of the dictator argument would hold equally under Rawls s principles of justice....

Rawls sees average utilitarianism as one of the biggest threats to his theory and
mounts three arguments against average utilitarianism. One of these arguments
appeals to self respect (Rawls). Rawls argues that self respect is a necessary
feature of a theory of justice and that his principles of justice allow for sufficient
self respect in society. Conversely, average utilitarianism sometimes allows for
sacrifice by certain people, and that sacrifice leads to insufficient self respect (Rawls).
Rawls s argument is as follows:
1.Self respect normally depends on the respect of others.
2.A theory of justice should express our respect for one another.
3.Rawls s theory of justice expresses our respect for one another by giving liberties
and letting the better off benefit only in ways that benefit the worst off.
4.Average utilitarianism may fail to express our respect for one another by requiring
that the worse off sacrifice further to benefit the better

In the beginning of Blood Diamond, the protagonist, Danny Archer, a white South

trait makes sense because he has unfortunately been alone for the majority of his
life. His mother and father were both violently killed when Danny was just nine
years old. From then on, he had to learn how to survive on his own, without anyone
to support him, and with that he developed selfish characteristics. When he was a
young adult, he fought in the war, which did not help with his selfishness. This most

Danny realizes how much Solomon needs to find his family, and it is his first time

Religion Is Not A Problem With Religion
Religion can unquestionably establish bonds amongst communities and societies. The
encouraging role of faith has tended to be overlooked due to other world affairs.
Emile Durkheim summarised religion as body of practices and beliefs that act as a
basis of identification. Therefore theoretical understandings can demonstrate that
terrorism is not a problem with religion. Durkheim went further by declaring that
religion maintains social order and allows for social cohesion (Boundless, 2015).
According to Emile Durkheim all societies have religion which offers meaning to
life as well as enforcing religious morals and norms respectably. Similarly German
sociologist Max Weberconcluded that religion brings meaning to life through
specific codes of conducts. Guidelines are set in order to follow the desired
behaviour. This becomes a central element as Weber believes that humans have
always been challenged by crisis which is logically acceptable (Priya, 2014). As
opposed to religion being a problem, scholars have forwarded the idea that faith
controls order and impacts how one is to live in the expectation of a successful
afterlife. Religion also makes us put up with inequalities because of the concept of
afterlife. This questions if terrorism is a problem with a religion. A database was
gathered showing terrorist attacks on American soil from 1980 to 2005. In response
to the media effect, data presented considerably different findings. A figure of 13%

Identifying and analyzing the attributes of different methods equips the researcher
to select an appropriate approach to satisfy the aim of their inquiry. Rodgers (2005)
and Risjord (2010) present two approaches to nursing knowledge development. This
paper will compare and contrast Rodgers problem solving (p. 177) method with
Risjord s nursing standpoint (p. 36). Rodgers provides a method that uses knowledge
deficits in practice as the foundation for research. Risjord, on the other hand,
acknowledges nurses lives and the perspective of the nurseas the basis for topics of
inquiry. Despite the difference between Rodgers and Risjord s methods, the attributes
of each method contribute to the elimination of the practice theory gap thus making
them equally valuable to nursing knowledge development.
Introduction to Rodgers Problem Solving Method Throughout the history of nursing
knowledge development, the discipline has struggled to attain an understanding of
the complexities of the nature of nursing while strengthening the philosophical
grounding for inquiry and further development (Rodgers, 2005, p. 173). Rodgers
believes that the question asked and the method used defines the applicability of
research to nursing knowledge development. While Rodgers problem solving method
supports research that applies to clinical practice, it also emphasizes the need for
research that contributes to the body of knowledge of the discipline separate from
activities (p. 175).

The Japanese atheistic of simplicity is present within the tools. Each tool has one
simple job, however, no brush or paper is made the same as well as the artists who
use them. In Hannah s pecha kucha, she explains the beginning of the process of
calligraphy. Hannah mentions the importance of the brushes in calligraphy and their
connection to simplicity. She analyzes,
Furthermore, no two artists are the same. Each one possesses his or hers own
preference and style; some brushes are incredibly elegant with family names
inscribed on the handles. Well others appear as if they were made from a stick of
bamboo. Ultimately it does not matter how expensive a tool may be but rather what
can be accomplished with that tool.
The calligrapher s brush manifests the artist him or herself. Whether the artist
wishes to have elegant brushes or simple bamboo brushes, they all have one simple
job, to write. The beauty of the brush does not matter, but rather the work done with
the brush. The work created with the tool rather than their supplies reveal how the
Japanese value humility as well as the simplicity of the work. A simple movement
of the brush on the paper creates a peaceful state of mind for the artists. It is a
feeling of simple joy when the brush moves along the hand made paper. The treasured
Japanese paper is different from American paper. Machines create smooth,

The first reason why Hurricane Hunters are the most useful type of technology out of

One of those uses is that it allows for archaeologist to use infrared satellites to
dicover ancient tombs, settlements, and artifacts ( Search For Ancient Civilizations,

it allows for ancient artifacts such as coins and jewels to be found in shipwrecks.
Finding ancient coins, jewels, and artifacts allow for us to have a clearer idea on
what happened in our oceans in the past (Florida Waters Treasure Hunters, Scott L.
Key, paragraphs 3,8, and 9).
Now though these types of technology have there uses, I still firmly believe that with
the evidence shown Hurricane Hunters are the most useful type of technolgy out of
the three. Hurricane Hunters provide us with information that we need to have so we
can stay safe. The others provide us with ancient information that though is useful in
its own right, it isn t as crucial as the information we get from Hurricane Hunters.

Elementary school is the medium for the students to step into the professional
field.The knowledge can achieved from curriculum by following it.But the hands on
experience on the subject can be gained only through the extracurricular activities. So,
students should take some responsibility to participate in extracurricular activities.
The advantages of extracurricular activities are students can get more personal
experience by involving in these activities and gain more knowledge when compared
to the knowledge obtained from theoretical concepts or curriculum. The student who
involves in extracurricular activities can easily survive in the professional world
while the student who only dependant on curriculum face some difficulties like
unable to make a right decision at right time, communication with peers and also face
difficulty in implementation of concepts . In this paper we collect both the data from
the students who involved in extracurricular activities and the data collected from
academic curriculum of students in a semester. This paper proposes that how
extracurricular activities support the overall growth of student by using

The Reggio Emilia Approach Essay
The Reggio Emilia Approach
Hailed by Newsweek (1991) magazine as the international role model for
preschools, the Reggio Emilia approach has caught the attention of early childhood
educators. In 1999, current Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley visited the
schools in Reggio Emilia to better understand its benefits (Dunne, 2000). It s
principals are understood by only a few, however, and has limited following with
approximately 1200 Reggio inspired preschools in operation, most of them private
(Sipprelle, 2009), making the innovative ideas offered by this approach available to
only a few. Why have so few schools emulated those so successful in Reggio Emilia,
Italy? Is Reggio Emilia applicable in the American classroom? A look... Show more

The land was donated and so was the labor. Many of the materials were recycled from
the ruins created by the war (Source, 0000).
While there is no fixed curriculum or one specific model to emulate, the Reggio
Emilia approach does have some essential components, some fundamental ideas about
how children learn most effectively. The utmost is the idea that the young child is
inherently competent not only as a learner but as an initiator. The child has
preferences and opinions that have value and should be listened to with respect and
care, knowing that they have much to offer their classroom community and
community at large. This pedagogy plays a large role in shaping the Reggio
classroom. It allows the children to pursue projects which are interesting and
meaningful and then allowing adequate time to follow those projects with passion.
The Reggio Emilia approach is an emergent curriculum because it is developed and
shaped by the interests of the child, through negotiations between the child, parents
and teachers. This is done in a Reggio classroom by in large and small group projects
in which the children engage. The projects involve planning, hands on activities,
research, and representation through a variety of visual media. The observant teacher
collects documentation which is a vital component of the Reggio philosophy in the
form of written anecdotes, samples of children s work, photographs and videos. This
information is used to reflect on the
The Arms Race and How it Changed the United States of
America
The Evil Empire that is what, at the height of the arms race, United States President
Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union (Rudolph 1). Unsurprisingly, the Soviet
Union was similarly upset at the United States. This anger is what fueled the arms
race. During the Cold War, due to fears of nuclear attack, the US and Soviet Union
designed and deployed thousands of nuclear warheads, each hoping to deter the other
from nuclear launch with threat of counter attack (O Neal 1). This massive arms
buildup, however, had many negative effects on the US. To recognize the impact that
the arms race continues to have on today, it is crucial to understand not only its
causes, but also its immediate impacts on the US economy, society, foreign... Show

This preparation took the form of an arms race. The arms race was a competitive
acquisition of weapons by the Soviet Union and the United States. (Boilard 1). The
strategy behind the arms race was to amass more nuclear weapons than the
opponent, thus enabling them to win any future nuclear war. It was assumed that
if nuclear war happened, then the country with the most nuclear weapons would
destroy more of the other country, consequently winning the war (Boilard 1).
Under this strategy, the Soviet Union built about 45,000 nuclear warheads, and
obtained enough radioactive materials to triple that. The Soviet Union also placed
tactical missile sites in many countries from Cuba to Kazakhstan, hoping to be
able to perform a fast strike from close range if necessary (O Neal 1). Likewise, the
US placed missiles in Europe and started the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
program. The SDI program was meant to defend against a nuclear attack. The SDI
program included satellites with lasers and nuclear powered railguns, which
would ideally be able to shoot down approaching missiles long before they reached
their target. The SDI program was also referred to as Star Wars because its use of
lasers in space made it seem like science fiction. Furthermore, the price, amount of
electricity needed to power these weapons, and amount of research needed was so
great that the project was abandoned several billion dollars later (Rudolph 2). In
essence, the
Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing: A better mousetrap or another trick?
The art of gathering information for a prospective product has long been a tedious
task of advertisers, manufactures, and entertainment producers since the inception of
advertising. It was realized that if a company could figure out what consumers
wanted or needed they could tailor their products or services to them and save money
from making things no one wanted. However, to do this, companies or advertisers
would have to gather large groups of people together and present the products or
services and gather feedback from those people. While this was the model for
decades, and still is the primary method of gathering information, there is a new and
possibly better way to present new ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It was noted in the article Should we trust the wisdom of crowds? by Stephen
Overell: BP s effort is more about public relations appearing to be responsive. BP has
handled the oil leak atrociously. So its priority is public relations first and the need
for high quality information second, in that order. 20,000 ideas is unmanageable,
you ll need all sorts of procedures for sorting through them. Solving this sort of issue
is a profoundly technical issue that the vast majority of people are ill equipped for.
(Castella, 2015) While public relations would be a good use of crowdsourcing to
garner a methodology to improve a company s public image, the company should be
careful to actually utilize the information received, if they don t, then the public could
likely become cynical towards the whole concept of crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing today, as survey groups were in the past, is a useful and effective tool
for companies to use to ensure that the products or services they provide are
something that the general public, or their customer base, is interested in. However,
care must be taken to ensure that not only are the results are accurate and not tainted
by some form of manipulation, but also that the information gathered is actually
something that is used. In the first case, data manipulation could cause a company to
provide something that doesn t sell, and leave them with
Caesar Augustus Legacy
Caesar Augustus: *** What s in a name? A name is a defining characteristic of a
human being. It carries with it accomplishments, traits, stories, and a legacy. When
Caesar Augustus radically changed Roman civilization, he established a legacy that
would far outlive him. After years of political turmoil, he brought the city and the
empire from the chaos of civil war to a system of ordered and stable government
(Shotter, Introduction). Along with his strong influence on government policies, his
influence found its way into parts of culture such as architecture, religion, and
literature as well. In doing this, Caesar Augustuscreated a name for himself that
would transcend the ages. Augustus was born as Gaius Octavius on September 23,
63 B.C. (Richardson 4). Showing promise as young man, his great uncle, Julius
Caesar, took special interest in him, giving him jobs and experience in the political
world. Caesar eventually developed a relationship so close with him that he
considered Octavius his adopted son (Shotter, Ch. 2). When Caesar was assassinated
on the Ides of March, his murderers, Brutus and Cassius, had no plans for the future
other than believing that the death of the tyrant would automatically lead to the
Restorations of the Republic, and instead plunged Rome into a fresh round of civil
conflict for thirteen more years (Shotter Ch. 2; Bentley et al. 223). This problem sets
up the need for a political figure to fix these pressing issues, and harboring

Social Work Values and Ethics Unique to the Profession Jessica A. Rosario Arizona

Social Work Values and Ethics 2 Abstract The history and evolution of social work
dates to the late 1800 s.
Since the profession was recognized many concerns arose regarding the values and
ethics of social workers. The key points of the NASW Code of Ethics, the CSWE
Educational Policy and Standards, and HIPAA will be summarized. Some of the
most challenging ethical issues facing social workers and the social work profession

The CSWE ensures that social workers are educated and competent in the field of
social work. It serves as a guideline for social work educators. The (CSWE) uses the
Educational Policy Act Standards (EPAS) to accredit baccalaureate and master s
level social work programs. EPAS supports academic excellence by establishing
thresholds for professional competence (CSWE, 2015).
Social Work Values and Ethics4 Ethical issues in general, regardless of the
profession or field one is in are inevitable. Social workers understand the value base
of the profession and its value base of the profession and its ethical standards, as
well as relevant laws and regulations that may impact practice at the micro and
macro level (Segal, 2016). Although social workers are trained and understand
ethical standards does not prevent them to one day face ethical issues. According
to (Reamer, 2014) we have embarked on a new period, one which few of us, he
suspected, could have anticipated. Today s social workers can provide services
online or via video counseling or text messages to clients they never meet in person.
They may receive Facebook friend request from clients or former clients that lead to
boundary challenges. These boundary challenges as Reamer categorizes them are
part of what he calls the Digital period. Issues steadily arise even among segments of
the population that one would expect to
Vivaldi Solo Concerto Essay
The solo concerto was a feature piece for a solo instrument accompanied by a
contrasting ensemble, the biggest difference between the concerto grosso and the
solo concerto was the contrast between the solo and the tutti sections were even
longer and much more detailed. It wasn t until the eighteenth century that the solo
concertobecame popular, the most well known composer of the solo concerto was
Antonio Vivaldi. It was Vivaldi s clean melodies, expertise with solo passages and the
contrast in timbre between the orchestraand solo parts that his concertos are among
the most famous of all other composers. Vivaldi wrote over five hundred concertos
mostly for his own instrument the violin, but also for the trumpet, cello, oboe flute
and bassoon. Most of these concertos were... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Vivaldi s music was innovative, flamboyant and bright. In this way he managed to
embellish the formal structure of the solo concerto. This form of concerto gave
soloists a chance to show off their virtuosity, especially violinists on the new
instruments thanks to luthiers such as Stradivarius and Guarneri. Vivaldi s solo
concertos provided musicians with a much wider range of colour by using
orchestration techniques of pizzicato and muted strings and contrast which was
unparalleled at the time. He mostly followed the simple three movement structure of
fast slow fast, because Vivaldi followed this pattern closely this became a prominent
template for the next three centuries of composers. Vivaldi s four seasons concerto
is arguably the most popular baroque concerto, written for solo violin and orchestra,
it is an example of programatic music, that is, music based upon a story or music that
tells a story. The four seasons is based upon a set of sonnets, no one knows exactly
who wrote them, but it is thought that Vivaldi himself may have written

PBSS Influence at the Classroom Level A school wide discipline and behavior
management approach, such as a Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS), has
great influence on what happens at the individual classroom level. Skill,
accountability, consistency and special situations are four components of PBSS.
Social skills instruction is a key component of an effective classroom. Students spend
the highest percentage of their day in the classroom. Therefore, this is where the
majority of social skills instruction must occur. Grade level teams must work together
to develop a behavioral matrix that addresses the needs of their students. The
behavioral matrix, as part of the PBSS, specifies the expectations for students and
holds them accountable in the classroom as well as the common areas of the school
with consistency. One of the most important roles teachers play in a typical
classroom is classroom manager. Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in
a classroom that is poorly managed. In order for the social skills instruction to be
effective, teachers need to create a positive environment that is effectively organized
and managed. At the classroom level, teachers need to implement strategies to teach,
prompt, reinforce, and infuse student focused interpersonal, problem

LOCKHEED IN JAPAN
I. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
1. Were the actions and transactions (bribery) made by Lockheed Corporation ethical
and legal?
II. HYPOTHESIS:
The hypothesis in this case was that if the Lockheed Corporation was conducting
bribery in their transactions, then it s unethical and illegal.
III.ANALYSIS:
There are many factors and areas to be considered if Carl Kotchian s actions for the
corporation were ethical and legal. It looks like bribes were big part of Japanese
business in the 1970 s. By accepting the deal, Kotchian provided jobs for thousands
of employees for the Lockheed Company. The deal also took care of the Lockheed
shareholders, and their families. For ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Since Japan s market was the last untapped market in the world.
In this case, Kotchian is face with many challenging moral issues. Kotchian s
biggest moral predicament was paying the bribes to the Japanese politicians. But,
Carl Kotchian was simply doing business in a market where he did not understand
the rules. Kotchian did not offer the bribes to seal the deal; he was told if he wanted
the deal he had to pay bribes. Kotchian only followed the rules of the system in which
this deal took place. Outside the United States bribery was a common global practice
in the 1970s. By paying these bribes, Kotchian secured thousands of jobs, and the
financial security of those families, and shareholders. Kotchian played by the rules of
a system that functioned on bribes, and did what any good business executive in that
time would have done in the global market place.
IV. CONCLUSION:
Kotchian actions were motivated by the act utilitarianism, which states an action is
right if and only if it produces the greatest balance of pleasure over pain for
everyone. By paying the bribes Kotchian made everyone one involved satisfied. By
Japan purchasing airplanes from Lockheed many jobs were created, Lockheed was
promised a future, and all involved parties on the Japanese side were content.
Kotchian, although not completely comfortable with paying the bribes, paid them to
secure the contract. Closing the business deal meant Lockheed s competitors would

Some other important characters are Bob Donovan, who is the plant production
manager, Lou, Alex s chief accountant, Ralph Nakamura, the data processing
manager, Stacey Potazenik, the production control manager, and Julie, Alex s wife.
The first major event is when Jonah and Alex met up in the airport and came to the
realization of what Alex is doing is not the way he should go about running his
business operations. Alex s goal was all about making money. It was not about
productivity. When Alex was explaining what his goals were, his answers were all
related to the numbers. Increasing net profit, having a high return on his investments
and getting positive cash flows to help sustain the plant. Although those are
imperative to have and learn from a financial perspective, Alex did not understand
that and from his position, an operations management perspective, it should be about
productivity. From those statistics, in production means, they will improve in the
plant through increasing the throughput, and decreasing the inventory and
operational expenses. Jonah states, There are three of them. Their names are
throughput, inventory and operational expense.(Goldratt, pg. 60) Jonah defines
thoughput as the rate at which the system generates money through sales . Then he
defines inventory as the money that the system has invested in purchasing things
which it intends
The Importance Of Internment In John Okada s No-No Boy
Ichiro Yamada, in John Okada s No No Boy, plays a major role in defining American
ness in the novel. From the very start of the book, readers may note that the rest of
society indefinitely identifies Ichiro as Japanese, due to his unique appearance
compared to the white majority of America and his refusal to join the military during
Japanese internment. While Ichiro was interned, the government required a Loyalty
Questionnaire to be administered to all Japanese interned in the camps. Two major
questions determined, in Ichiro s eyes, either acceptance or unacceptance into
American society: one being the will to serve in the army whenever asked and
swearing allegiance to the United States and forswearing allegiance to the Emperor of
Japan ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The gradual decrease of Japanese pride is also emphasized with the fact that he sees
himself as only half Japanese, since one does not speak and...play and fight and see
and hear in America among Americans...without becoming American and loving it
(16). He explains this uncertainty about his national identity as the reason behind
why he refused to go serve in the army in the first place.
Later in the novel, as Ichiro converses with Emi, he considers the possibility that
his decision was not out of Japanese nationalism, but due to the societal ideal that
one must choose if they are Japanese or American; being both is impossible (84).
Subsequently, the allegorical message that he is not masculine enough, which in a
way defines American ness in American culture, is portrayed by the beating he
receives from Taro s friends. At first, the initial visual image of the scene views the
situation as only an attack on Ichiro. However, the second underlying meaning
behind this literal attack is portrayed by when There was a sharp and slender youth
bent over him with a wide grin and started to slip the knife blade under the leather
belt (73). The action of slipping the knife blade under Ichiro s leather belt infers the
attempt to castrate him to further emasculate him, which represents that he does not
belong to society as both a person of color and as an American man due to refusing to
serve in the army. Furthermore, although the story concludes that society

also those companies employees and overheads. Many companies have a certain
amount of dues that are use in paying taxes. But how would companies pay those
dues if they are short of the funds calculated to cover those expenses? It puts them

It also leaves employees and customers with their personal identities exposed and
puts them at risks for being victims of data theft. Los Angeles Times, publisher of
Banks Are Warned About ATM Hacks says, The latest warning comes after millions
of Americans have had their financial information breached in a series of high
profile cyber attacks, most notably the theft of personal data from more than 110
million Target Corp. customers during the winter holidays. Consumer privacy
advocates generally recommend that consumers avoid using debit or ATM cards
altogether. It s better to use credit cards, in which the proceeds of any fraud are not
directly drawn from consumers bank accounts, they say. But why should customers
have to change their way of living or their way of spending, due to another persons

Throughout the book, Equality goes against the government because he is searching
for freedom. In the book, Equality talks about wanting to see himself but that is
against the law, when he runs away, he finally seems himself. Equality wants to see
his own image because, his entire life he has never seen it, and he has only seen
the faces of his brothers. Equality sees his own face for the first time and says, We
sat still and we held our breath. For our face and our body were beautiful. Our face
was not like the faces of our brothers, for we felt no pity when looking upon it. Our
body was not like the bodies of our brothers, for our limbs were straight and thin
and hard and strong. And we thought that we could trust this being who looked
upon us from the stream, and that we had nothing to fear with this being. (Rand,
80) Now that he is thinking for himself he wants to know more about himself. He
never received the chance to find out what kind of person he was when he was
young, so now that he is older he wants to know more about himself. He falls in
love with Liberty the first time he sees her, and in their society they re not supposed
to take notice of the opposite gender. Equality whispers, For men are forbidden to
take notice of women, and women are forbidden to take notice of men. But we think
of one among women, they whose name is Liberty, and we think of no others. (Rand,

Interpretive Essay

  • 1. Interpretive Essay Crafting an interpretive essay can be a challenging endeavor that demands a unique blend of analytical prowess and creative expression. The intricacies involved in interpreting a given subject require a deep understanding of the material, coupled with the ability to synthesize diverse ideas and perspectives. It goes beyond merely summarizing information; it necessitates a keen insight into the underlying meanings, symbolism, and context. One of the primary difficulties lies in striking the right balance between personal interpretation and adherence to scholarly conventions. The interpretive essay demands a nuanced approach where the writer navigates between subjectivity and objectivity, presenting their viewpoint while also grounding it in evidence from the text or source material. This delicate dance between personal insight and academic rigor can be a formidable task for many writers. Moreover, the process involves a substantial amount of research to support one's interpretations adequately. Diving deep into the material, understanding the historical and cultural context, and exploring various scholarly perspectives require time and dedication. The challenge is not only in finding relevant information but also in discerning which elements are most crucial to bolster the essay's overarching interpretation. Additionally, conveying complex ideas in a coherent and engaging manner can be a hurdle. Transforming intricate thoughts into a clear and compelling narrative requires honed writing skills. Striking the right tone, maintaining a logical flow, and ensuring that each paragraph contributes meaningfully to the overall thesis demand a high level of craftsmanship. In conclusion, the difficulty of writing an interpretive essay lies in the delicate balance between personal interpretation and scholarly objectivity, the extensive research needed to support one's claims, and the challenge of presenting complex ideas in a coherent and engaging manner. Nevertheless, mastering this art can be immensely rewarding, offering a deeper understanding of the subject matter and a refined skill set for future academic endeavors.

  • 2. The Importance Of An Epic Hero In Beowulf An epic hero is a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements or affected by grand events. The epic hero, a cultural legend, embarks on a quest in search of fame and glory, and encounters challenges throughout their journey. No matter the adversity, the epic hero maintains bravery and courage, never backing down. However, what the epic hero does not know is that the real reason for a quest is always self knowledge (Foster 3). In the epic Beowulf, Anonymous employs the affection of a king, bravery in battle, an eternal quest and a lasting legacy to show Beowulf as an epic hero. Beowulf embodies the Anglo Saxon archetype of an epic hero. A key moment in Beowulf, is when king Hrothgar welcomes Beowulf to his kingdom and says But to table, Beowulf, a banquet in your honor:/Let us toast your victories, and talk of the future (ll. 223 224). Here it is shown that even a king is acknowledging Beowulf s bravery and is throwing him a feast, one of the highest honors a king could bestow upon anyone, showing Hrothgar s great admiration for Beowulf. During the feast when Unferth questions Beowulf s honor, Beowulf refutes his claims and inspires king Hrothgar with a speech: The Geats will show him courage, soon/He can test his strength in battle. And when the sun/Comes up again, opening another/Bright day from the south, anyone in Denmark will be able to enter Herot (ll. 335 338). Much like they typical Anglo Saxon epic hero Anonymous clearly
  • 3. Electronic Technology For Curriculum Observation Electronic Technology for Curriculum Observation Documentation Michelle Valladares MGMT 7003 December 4, 2014 Many childcare centres in North America have introduced technology as a natural element of the classroom. Young learners have become part of the iGeneration in which the use of technology comes to be a natural way of learning, interacting with others and making sense of the world (Pellerin, 2012). In regards to documentation and assessment, there have been different digital tools that are creating a new way of evaluating and observing how children learn. According to research by Pellerin (2012), assessment for the 21st century learning and teaching requires a shift from assessment of learning toward assessment strategies for learning. In order for teachers to understand assessment strategies for learning they must see documentation under a new digital perspective. Documentation now includes gathering of tangible evidence from a variety of means such as learning stories, photographs, video and audio recordings of the students learning process (ELECT, 2007). Effective documentation will not only gather information but also tell a story and purpose of an event, experience, or development. In a digital era, technology tools and applications like Ipads and Ipods are creating a learning experience for children, teachers and families unlike any other tools in the past. In the 21 century, almost every educator and adult in North America has a
  • 4. The Modernist Movement And The International Style Movement Throughout the Villa Dall ava, 1991, Rem Koolhaas ideologies have been deconstructed, reconstructed and reproduced such as it complies with Le Corbusier s five ideas of modernism, where it employs the use of pilotes , roof terrace, the open floor plan, the free faГ§ade and the horizontal window to his design. These major elements are key to the modernist movement and the international style movement. Rem Koolhaas has made conflict with these key ideas such as the slanted columns as Le Corbusiers idea was to use simple forms discussed by the early modernist. In a sense it holds these elements of deconstruction such an alien form within it design. Le Corbusier s Villa Savoye, 1929, has very similar links to the Villa Dall ava as Rem Koolhaas and his client wanted the Villa Dall ava to be a modern version of the Villa Savoye. These links are obvious as they are the five points of architecture which Le Corbusier had set as his architectural principles. They consist of pilotis, free designing of the ground plan, free design of the faГ§ade, the horizontal windows and a roof garden. One main connection that sticks out is the pilotis as Le Courbusier had used it as geometric lines around the Villa Savoye, Rem Koolhaas had used pilotis with his own alien twist on them swaying them off center, putting them where ever need be. Koolhaas s own architecture, it need hardly be said, does nothing of the kind. And yet Koolhaas s modernism, brilliantly inventive, nonetheless does not

Let It Go Parody Let It Brew Up Some Laughter Let It Go is a popular song from Disney s Frozen, which is about a girl named Anna who searches for her sister, Elsa, to break the spell of a perpetual winter she has cast on her kingdom. Elsa sings Let It Go after years of fretting what others would think if they found out about her dangerous, magical powers. Let It Brew is only one of many parodies of Let It Go that exist because Frozen is such a well known movie. The parodies typically reflect on some dramatic event which exaggerates the minor struggles teens and young adults experience in America.

I utilized the idea of intentional fallacy in the creation of my parody by assuming my audience was familiar with Let it Go and Starbucks terms. My diction throughout the song is thus intentional because I wrote it in the exact way I thought would make people laugh. Moreover, my targeted audience is intentional because I assume the reader would know the original song. With this assumption, I also predict that my audience will find humor in the parody since the song will elicit laughter if and only if the audience recognizes the mimicry within the

  • 7. Robert Graves’ I, Claudius Robert Graves I, Claudius Capturing a Strange Moment in History Tiberius reign over the Roman Empire stretched the longest of any emperor during Claudius lifetime. This may be a good reason why Robert Graves, in his historical novel published in 1934, I, Claudius devoted more than a third of it to the reign of Tiberius. I, Claudius , told through the eyes of the half wit Claudius, records the history of the first Imperial family at Rome, including the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, and even Claudius himself. Livia, Augustus wife and Tiberius mother, played a crucial role throughout the reign of Augustus and Tiberius by eliminating all possible heirs other than her son to the throne of the emperor. By the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He once said, Let them hate me, so long as they obey me (Graves 38). By this time Livia had already eliminated Marcellus, Augustus first preference as his successor. Tiberius could not be totally blamed for his fortunes. As Claudius states: He was in an unhappy position, forced against his will to be continually in the public eye, now as general in some frontier campaign, now as Consul at Rome, now as special commissioner to the provinces; when all he wanted was a long rest and privacy....Moreover, with the dignity of the Imperial family to maintain and Livia continually spying on him, he had to be very careful of his private morals. He had few friends, being, as I think I have said, of a suspicious, jealous, reserved and melancholy temperament, and those rather hangers on than friends, whom he treated with the cynical contempt that they deserved. (66) After Augustus died, however, Tiberius became emperor. The Senate, knowing very well that to even attempt to return to the republican form of government would be a futile effort, one by one voted him all of the honors that Augustus had received. But Tiberius never used the name Augustus, except when writing letters to foreign kings. He feared his mother Livia, partially because Livia constantly reminded him that if her crimes were uncovered,
  • 8. Hamilton s Judicial System The Constitution of the United States provides the essential framework for establishing the young republic. After the American Revolution, it was necessary for the new nation to establish their governance across the confederation of states. However, the founders were met with opposing, diverse views on how the nation should be governed through a constitution that would serve as the backbone of the nation s government. It would be these decisions within the Constitution that establish the parameters in which our federal government will be structured for the years ahead. The solution for making agreements upon what would be included in the Constitution and by which parameters were discussed through a series of essays that were to be known as...

However, Hamilton assures that the judiciary would not only be the weakest and the least powerful, but the judiciary has neither Force nor Will, but merely judgement (198). Hamilton explains to the audience that it is the executive branch of government that holds the sword and the legislative branch who commands the purse...[and] prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated (198). It is with this crucial point that Hamilton ensures that the role of the judiciary is to act independently to solely uphold the Constitution and the fundamental rights of the people. He even further develops that it is necessary to keep federal judges for life long tenures (based on good behavior) by excellently stating that there are few who are qualified as, it is indispensable that they should be bound down by strict rules and precedents, (202). Hamilton expresses that these approaches will benefit the Constitution, as the federal judges will essentially live to uphold the Constitution and the people whose rights are protected by
  • 9. The Overall Concept Of Public Relations The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss various image problems or publicity needs within a company through their specific Public Relations Campaigns. Through the study and research of this topic, deeper understanding of the overall concept of Public Relations will hopefully be attained. A corporate identity or image is the comprehensive image of a corporation, business or firm from the view of the public, including customers, employees and investors. It is essential that good corporate image is achieved within a corporation, so that the public may view the corporation as positive or beneficial. Therefore, if the image of a corporation is affected negatively or perceived by the public to be bad, it can damage not only the corporation s reputation and credibility, but also its appeal to the public. Publicity is the distribution of information with the goal of increasing awareness among the public on a specific concept or entity. This entity may range from a person to an organization; it can be an object or an idea; it could be anything thinkable. As long as there is a concept or entity, it can be publicized. The main point of publicity is to have the public gain awareness on something. In the business world, publicity is usually used to create awareness and understanding of a corporation, therefore increasing popularity and overall image. There is a famous saying, There is no such thing as bad publicity. This sentence is true of publicity in the
  • 10. A Brief Note On Chad Cameroon Petroleum Development And... In 2003, construction ended on a pipeline project more commonly referred to as the CCPP (Chad Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project). The main actors in this project besides the World Bank consisted of a triumvirate of oil companies with Exxon Mobil at the helm, along with Petronas Malaysia ChevronTexaco. The project was under many watchful eyes in the global political theater as it hoped to prove as a model for other developing countries. It also sought to break the spell of the resource curse which it is generally known, is that countries rich in natural resources, specially oil, tend to suffer from lower living standards, slower growth rates and higher incidence of conflict than their resource poor counterparts. (Auty, 1997) The project entailed constructing a pipeline which would begin in the Doba basin in Chad which was said to contain in excess of 1 billion barrels of oil and stretch southwest through to the Cameroonian port city of Kribi. This pipeline measures an impressive 1,070 kilometers and had an initial price tag of $3.5 billion; which was later then confirmed by Exxon Mobil to, in fact, cost $4.2 billion. Unsurprisingly, the main reward from these barrels of black gold would be a monetary reward for all the parties involved. For Chad, the revenues were estimated to be $5 billion over the course of 25 years and this didn t consider other potential oil fields. The World Bankattempted to ensure that any revenues on the Chad side,

I believe Ray was trying to convey that rampant colonization kills the society and environment of the victim. Through every story we can see how bad Mars is turning out due to the ignorance and quickness of the colonizers. There is speculation that Ray could be describing the future in a ВЁfictionalВЁ way, in other words, he could be predicting the fate of the earth or America. I also believe that after the four expeditions the settlers were still driven to colonize even though the previous trips failed. I come to believe that Ray thinks all these dreams and visions the martians have, is what will happen to us in America. It could all be fictionbut his... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They come to Mars with intentions to peacefully settle and undermine part of the society the Martians have built. Many Martians have hallucinations of this rocket and its humans. On page 20, the Martian woman is distraught of this dream she keeps on having and consults with Mr. Iii who is forced to put an end to this colonization. At this point Ray explains how each Martian has a different view and hallucination of the colonizers. Also, how the humans can communicate with the Martians by telepathy. This is just another way Ray communicates his thoughts to us. In the story ВЁUsher IIВЁ, we see a reference back to Edgar Allan PoeВґs ВЁFall of the House of UsherВЁ. In this story William Stendahl remakes the house and creates mechanical apes, bats, and vampires. During this episode and investigator from Moral Climate condemns his house. Stendahl kills him and has no relevance to his death from the state. I believe in this portion of the story Ray is focused on the fictional part of things rather than the realistic non fictional possible things. I feel that this drags the reader away from the futuristic side of the story to create a more novelish

Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), SCRUM and Crystal Methodologies are some of the most famous agile software development methodology famous today (Vlaanderen et. al, 20011), (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012). In the recent research done by (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012), it s been found that XP and scrum are the two most common agile methodologies used currently. In their empirical research (DingsГёyr et. al, 2012) also found that most of the existing studies on agile methodology focus on XP and there are very limited studies done on SCRUM. The purpose of this literature review research is to analyze the existing research available on SCRUM methodology. This literature review will provide a broad overview on various information researchers are providing on agile software development methodology, keeping Scrum agile methodology in the focal point. In addition, this literature review will also address the advantages and disadvantages of SCRUM agile methodology. This research will help the audience to gaze over the recent study over scrum and will help in making the decision whether Scrum is the right agile methodology for their software development project.

  • 14. The Influence Of Democracy In Ancient Rome The early communications and developments within ancient cities and societies have inspired and calculated present day interactions within the world. Rome s political structure of democracy and assurance of no absolute power has influenced and shaped modern democracy. The Roman culture has also impacted the current culture of architect and art through the implementation of a common Forum for political and social interaction. The endeavors and trials of ancient cities continue to impact the world s future by example and destruction. Early political structures created by the Phoenicians, Romans, and Greeks display the characteristics and differences of present day governments around the world. In 18th century B.C., the Phoenicians (the seafaring people) established independent city states (17). In addition, the Greeks circa 590 B.C., accepted the independent city state system to address the whole population in public meetings (18). The independent city state system includes direct representation between the citizens approaching the law. In contrast, present day democracy incorporates indirect representation through elected representatives approving the country s laws. In 59 B.C., Julius Caesar was elected to the Senate of the...

Satire In Invisible Man There is a deliberate juxtaposition in the opening pages of Graceland between the garbage ridden streets of Lagos teeming with naked children and Elvis melancholy, retrospective and, (not without a deliberate irony on the part of Albani) reading a copy of Ellison s American classic Invisible Man. The monstrous slum of Lagosis crushing in its poverty; Elvis, despite the squander of his personal circumstance, somehow doesn t fit the image of his city.

Elvis is an aspiring dancer; frequently ambiguous in both his gender and sexuality, the unprecedentedly moralistic teenager constantly contradicts... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is here that the power of globalization is most evident; Elvis is molded and guided by intangibilities, and the city of Lagos is also understood through the ways in which it contrasts America. Despite the literal geographical separation between Lagos and Nigeria, the colonialist influence of the western world and the United States are clearly chartered throughout the novel. Admiring himself from many angles, he thought it was a shame he couldn t wear makeup in public. That s not true, he mentally corrected himself. He could, like the transvestites that haunted the car parks of hotels favored by rich locals and visiting whites. But like them, he would be a target of some insult, or worse, physical beatings, many of which were meted out by the police, who then took turns with their victims in the back of their vans. It was exasperating that he couldn t appear in public looking as much like the real Elvis Presley as possible. Struggling with his identity, Elvis desires to wear makeup without fearing the retaliation of his community. It is in the implanted whiteness and pockets of Americanism where that freedom is most closely accessible. Yet, the physical reality of the hotels (their literal placement in Lagos) meant that the governing moral principles of Lagos prevented Elvis from being anything but an outcast and a victim if he chose to express himself. The American presence in Lagos managed to be pervasive while simultaneously having no palliative effect on Elvis estrangement within the slum. The cast of characters employed by Albani, from the elitist white tourists to Redemption to Uncle Joseph all serve to construct an image of Lagos in relation to America. It wasn t singularly the explicit references to America or to Elvis s connection to the United States that aided Albani in his describing of

He would rather hang out all day in his hobbit hole than embark on an adventure. As Bilbo s history is explained we come to learn that there are two sides to him: a Took and a Baggins. These two sides are what seem to effect his decisions, however in this novel, the Took side wins. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking stick (Tolkien 15).

Tolkien using fantasy creatures and events to carry along the story and adventures keeps the readers intrigued and excited.

This astronomical figure is more than 17% of the enite word population. For centuries China has stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences. On the other hand, over the last decade, it has also plummeted economically. A big factor for this massive downfall is its overpopulation within the country.

The Chinese take their cultural beliefs very seriously and will do anything to keep their ancestors happy. The fact of carrying the family name on to their next generation should not determine whether a child should live or die. The bottom line is that girls in China receive far less attention and resources than boys and are deemed in superior in society. (Fitzpatrick) A lot of people found it easy to hide their children. Many people had more than one child and did not let the government know. The biggest problem coming from this was the children that were not registered did not receive any medical benefits. It was as if they never did exist. They call this group of unregistered children the black population . The black population makes it very difficult for the government to keep records of the country s population. (Hays) These children are not allowed to go to school, and later will have difficulty getting permission to marry, to move, and for other life choices requiring the government s permission. It s as if the children are there in reality, but they do not get treated like a regular Chinese citizen. (Watts) Another serious problem that comes to the surface as a result of the one child policy is the four two one problem. This is the idea that because of the policy, there will be four grandparents to every two parents to every one child. In essence, a single child will have only two parents and four

In Tim O Brien s The Things They Carried, a platoon is comprised of struggling young men whose lives are challenged each day. On the other hand, women blissfully live in the states, provided with complete comfort and security, both of which the soldiers are not able to acquire. There is a tremendous discrepancy between the lives at war and in the states. Those who are not exposed to the world outside their own have an inability to empathize with the emotional baggage that the soldiers carry. Throughout... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... O Brien s use of Martha s carelessness manifests a representation of society s abandonment of the soldiers. Society left the soldiers without support like Martha does to Cross by not inquiring more about the war. The same case pertains to Dobbins and his girlfriend. One day, Dobbins receives mail where his girlfriend dumped him. It was a hard blow. Dobbins went quiet for a while, staring down at her letter (112). Like Martha, Dobbins s girlfriend does not sympathize with the pain of the soldier. She is unable to consider the relentless brutality that Dobbins is confronted with at war, and discards the idea that she may be his motivation to keep fighting and to stay alive. Instead, Dobbins s girlfriend breaks up with him as he continues to fight for survival. Dobbins s emotions are not taken into account, so his girlfriend carelessly moves on with her own life, leaving Dobbins alone. Losing this direct connection to home results in a loss of security which is what society did to the soldiers, so they were ostracized and left to fight and cope by themselves. The representation of the lack of society s support continues to be seen through women s insensitivity towards the soldiers pain by prioritizing their lives even after the war.

Da Vinci was more known as an artist and scientist, but was also an inventor, architect, musician, mathmation, engineer, astronomy, writer, historian, and geologist.

Da Vinci s artwork of The Last Supper is as a piece of art that captures the moment of Christ just after he tells his disciples that one of them will betray him is a very influential moment of the bible and is beautifully depicted in this art work. I believe this work of art is a stand alone piece of art that is great in that it shows Christ in the moment having his hands spread apart showing that they are pointed at a piece of bread and a glass of wine. Which in turn represents the body of Christ in the bread and the blood of Christ in the wine, which is the sacrament. What is also interesting about the painting is that Jesus s hand that is reaching for the wine is also near a dish on the table which Judas is reaching for symbolizing that fact that Judas is the one who betrays Jesus and has a bag of silver in his other hand in the painting. As for William Byrd, I believe his music is beautiful in the fact that it is very calming and easy listening, which makes me just want to listen to more of it. His style of music reminds me of the Gothic era of music in a way because of the deep echo voices in the background, but it has more to it as the other singers bring a more full sound to the piece of music and make the texture a nice soft but abrasive type of listening that has emotion in its sound.

  • 20. The Importance Of Prisons In The Prison System Summary The United States currently holds around 2 million prisoners, or around 25% of the world s prison population (Prisonstudies.org). Furthermore, a large percentage of American prisoners are from minority groups, and many others are charged for petty crimes such as non violent drug offenses. People convicted of low level crimes experience the same kind of treatment as what a violent convict would reasonably receive. These convicts tend to be deprived from basic rights, get into gang fights on a daily basis and are emotionally deprived. Across the world, different countries treat their prisoners differently. There are some countries, like Brazil, that completely deprive prisoner s rights. On the other hand, prisoners in Norway are given VIP treatment to be able to integrate themselves to society once again. It is unfortunate that these extreme differences exist across the globe. Unlike Brazil and Norway, America has average if not, below average treatment in prisons. The correctional prison system spends a great deal of money on its system; it is greater than the school budget (Kelly). Why is the US government investing more in its prisons rather than in its educational facilities? In addition, the most notorious prisons stuff as many prisoners into the tiny cells. The conditions are merely inhumane, and the government keeps funding these correctional institutions. From our research, we have learned that American prisoners deserve better resources for them to become

Ambivalence or indifference toward citizenship among illegals. Americans find it difficult, perhaps even offensive, to believe that immigrants might cling to the notion of eventually returning home or spurn the opportunity to become American. The primary goal of most undocumented immigrants continues to be what originally drew them here: supporting their families, whether back home or in the United States Resistance In the past 50 years, polling data have charted a deepening opposition to immigration, linked in part, it appears, to economic concerns.

Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, officially making the separation of blacks and whites in public schools unconstitutional (Beals 12). This ultimately led to a constant struggle in the South to keep schools segregated. The most notable situation occurred in the town of Little Rock, Arkansas during the 1957 school year. Nine black students volunteered to integrate into Central High. This constant struggle to turn the Supreme Court ruling into a societal norm was documented by one of the Little Rock Nine. Melba Pattillo Beals s novel, Warriors Don t Cry, depicts the forces in favor of integration, forces opposing integration, and the constant adversity faced by the Little Rock Nine. The multiple forces in favor of integration were determined to gain access to Central High School and integrate public schools in the south. Before any integration was possible in the United States, the NAACP, or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was forced to file a lawsuit in the Federal District Court to integrate public schools immediately due to the public and state backlash towards integration (Beals 20). Judge Ronald Davies declared that Governor Faubus had thwarted the court approved plan of integration furthering the movement to integrate Central High (Beals 68). After the lawsuit was settled, the Little Rock Nine was scheduled to integrate into Central High School. However, even after these

In doing so, she does use carefully worded claims to advance her argument. In her second page, she begins with the claim we could usefully start by refusing the orthodoxy, even among feminists, of seeing crime fiction as inherently, or even an historically masculine form (Levy В¶4). This is the first real paragraph in which she begins to advance her thesis. In later paragraphs she continues with this notion and says, together with not seeing crime fiction as necessarily masculine, we could also use the term genre more carefully and flexibly, particularly given the current critical interest in genre theory (В¶5). This carries out the idea of crime fiction not being specifically masculine, but it begins to change the discussion to the genre itself, not whether it is masculine or feminine. The next paragraph begins with, while a knowledge of the histories and literary possibilities of various genres is useful for readers and for writers, it is important not to become victims of an inflexible, ahistorical, understanding of these forms (В¶6). These three claims show that Levy plainly advances her claims to advance her argument, subtly transitioning from one topic to the

Mexico was home to two of the biggest Pre Colombian civilizations, the Aztecs and the Mayans. The Mayans and Aztecs both faced the wrath of the conquistadors, as they were both conquered very easily due to the Spanish s advanced weaponry. After conquering the natives, the Spanish would rule over that land for anout 300 years. This new ruling came with new foods, races, animals, and changes that effected the natives. One of things that was brought to Mexico during the Colombian Exchange, although unintentonally, was disease. The Spanish brought diseases such as smallpox, measles, tuberculosis, and mumps. These were diseases that the natives had not been exposed to, so they had no immunity to them. Even though the Spanish did have much more advanced weaponry than the natives, it was the diseases that wiped out most of the native population. It is believed that within a century of the arrival of the Spanish, the population of the Aztecs decreased by 80 95%, going from 12.5M to roughly about 1.5M in population (History of Disease). The Spanish shared the same fate, but not as severe, many died from syphillis. A disease that was much more dangerous during that time than it is today.

Conversely, average utilitarianism sometimes allows for sacrifice by certain people, and that sacrifice leads to insufficient self respect (Rawls). Rawls s argument is as follows: 1.Self respect normally depends on the respect of others. 2.A theory of justice should express our respect for one another. 3.Rawls s theory of justice expresses our respect for one another by giving liberties and letting the better off benefit only in ways that benefit the worst off. 4.Average utilitarianism may fail to express our respect for one another by requiring that the worse off sacrifice further to benefit the better

The encouraging role of faith has tended to be overlooked due to other world affairs. Emile Durkheim summarised religion as body of practices and beliefs that act as a basis of identification. Therefore theoretical understandings can demonstrate that terrorism is not a problem with religion. Durkheim went further by declaring that religion maintains social order and allows for social cohesion (Boundless, 2015). According to Emile Durkheim all societies have religion which offers meaning to life as well as enforcing religious morals and norms respectably. Similarly German sociologist Max Weberconcluded that religion brings meaning to life through specific codes of conducts. Guidelines are set in order to follow the desired behaviour. This becomes a central element as Weber believes that humans have always been challenged by crisis which is logically acceptable (Priya, 2014). As opposed to religion being a problem, scholars have forwarded the idea that faith controls order and impacts how one is to live in the expectation of a successful afterlife. Religion also makes us put up with inequalities because of the concept of afterlife. This questions if terrorism is a problem with a religion.

Identifying and analyzing the attributes of different methods equips the researcher to select an appropriate approach to satisfy the aim of their inquiry. Rodgers (2005) and Risjord (2010) present two approaches to nursing knowledge development. This paper will compare and contrast Rodgers problem solving (p. 177) method with Risjord s nursing standpoint (p. 36). Rodgers provides a method that uses knowledge deficits in practice as the foundation for research. Risjord, on the other hand, acknowledges nurses lives and the perspective of the nurseas the basis for topics of inquiry. Despite the difference between Rodgers and Risjord s methods, the attributes of each method contribute to the elimination of the practice theory gap thus making them equally valuable to nursing knowledge development. Introduction to Rodgers Problem Solving Method Throughout the history of nursing knowledge development, the discipline has struggled to attain an understanding of the complexities of the nature of nursing while strengthening the philosophical grounding for inquiry and further development (Rodgers, 2005, p. 173). Rodgers believes that the question asked and the method used defines the applicability of research to nursing knowledge development. While Rodgers problem solving method supports research that applies to clinical practice, it also emphasizes the need for research that contributes to the body of knowledge of the discipline separate from activities (p. 175).

Now though these types of technology have there uses, I still firmly believe that with the evidence shown Hurricane Hunters are the most useful type of technolgy out of the three. Hurricane Hunters provide us with information that we need to have so we can stay safe. The others provide us with ancient information that though is useful in its own right, it isn t as crucial as the information we get from Hurricane Hunters. Hopefully I ve convinced you of the Hurricane Hunters usefullness with the evidence

Determining relationship between Extracurricular Activities and Academic Performance using Computational Intelligence Tejaswini Koduri Department of Computer Science, Georgia State University tkoduri11@gsu.student.edu Abstract Elementary school is the medium for the students to step into the professional field.The knowledge can achieved from curriculum by following it.But the hands on experience on the subject can be gained only through the extracurricular activities. So, students should take some responsibility to participate in extracurricular activities. The advantages of extracurricular activities are students can get more personal experience by involving in these activities and gain more knowledge when compared to the knowledge obtained from theoretical concepts or curriculum. The student who involves in extracurricular activities can easily survive in the professional world while the student who only dependant on curriculum face some difficulties like unable to make a right decision at right time, communication with peers and also face difficulty in implementation of concepts . In this paper we collect both the data from the students who involved in extracurricular activities and the data collected from academic curriculum of students in a semester. This paper proposes that how extracurricular activities support the overall growth of student by using computational intelligence. I like the idea of determining relationship using mamdani model.

The land was donated and so was the labor. Many of the materials were recycled from the ruins created by the war (Source, 0000). While there is no fixed curriculum or one specific model to emulate, the Reggio Emilia approach does have some essential components, some fundamental ideas about how children learn most effectively. The utmost is the idea that the young child is inherently competent not only as a learner but as an initiator. The child has preferences and opinions that have value and should be listened to with respect and care, knowing that they have much to offer their classroom community and community at large. This pedagogy plays a large role in shaping the Reggio classroom. It allows the children to pursue projects which are interesting and meaningful and then allowing adequate time to follow those projects with passion. The Reggio Emilia approach is an emergent curriculum because it is developed and shaped by the interests of the child, through negotiations between the child, parents and teachers. This is done in a Reggio classroom by in large and small group projects in which the children engage. The projects involve planning, hands on activities, research, and representation through a variety of visual media. The observant teacher collects documentation which is a vital component of the Reggio philosophy in the form of written anecdotes, samples of children s work, photographs and videos.

The Arms Race and How it Changed the United States of America The Evil Empire that is what, at the height of the arms race, United States President Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union (Rudolph 1). Unsurprisingly, the Soviet Union was similarly upset at the United States. This anger is what fueled the arms race. During the Cold War, due to fears of nuclear attack, the US and Soviet Union designed and deployed thousands of nuclear warheads, each hoping to deter the other from nuclear launch with threat of counter attack (O Neal 1). This massive arms buildup, however, had many negative effects on the US.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This preparation took the form of an arms race. The arms race was a competitive acquisition of weapons by the Soviet Union and the United States. (Boilard 1). The strategy behind the arms race was to amass more nuclear weapons than the opponent, thus enabling them to win any future nuclear war. It was assumed that if nuclear war happened, then the country with the most nuclear weapons would destroy more of the other country, consequently winning the war (Boilard 1). Under this strategy, the Soviet Union built about 45,000 nuclear warheads, and obtained enough radioactive materials to triple that. The Soviet Union also placed tactical missile sites in many countries from Cuba to Kazakhstan, hoping to be able to perform a fast strike from close range if necessary (O Neal 1). Likewise, the US placed missiles in Europe and started the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program. The SDI program was meant to defend against a nuclear attack. The SDI program included satellites with lasers and nuclear powered railguns, which would ideally be able to shoot down approaching missiles long before they reached their target. The SDI program was also referred to as Star Wars because its use of lasers in space made it seem like science fiction. Furthermore, the price, amount of electricity needed to power these weapons, and amount of research needed was so great that the project was abandoned several billion dollars later (Rudolph 2).

The art of gathering information for a prospective product has long been a tedious task of advertisers, manufactures, and entertainment producers since the inception of advertising. It was realized that if a company could figure out what consumers wanted or needed they could tailor their products or services to them and save money from making things no one wanted. However, to do this, companies or advertisers would have to gather large groups of people together and present the products or services and gather feedback from those people.

So its priority is public relations first and the need for high quality information second, in that order. 20,000 ideas is unmanageable, you ll need all sorts of procedures for sorting through them. Solving this sort of issue is a profoundly technical issue that the vast majority of people are ill equipped for. (Castella, 2015) While public relations would be a good use of crowdsourcing to garner a methodology to improve a company s public image, the company should be careful to actually utilize the information received, if they don t, then the public could likely become cynical towards the whole concept of crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing today, as survey groups were in the past, is a useful and effective tool for companies to use to ensure that the products or services they provide are something that the general public, or their customer base, is interested in. However, care must be taken to ensure that not only are the results are accurate and not tainted by some form of manipulation, but also that the information gathered is actually something that is used. In the first case, data manipulation could cause a company to provide something that doesn t sell, and leave them with
  • 45. Caesar Augustus Legacy Caesar Augustus: *** What s in a name? A name is a defining characteristic of a human being. It carries with it accomplishments, traits, stories, and a legacy. When Caesar Augustus radically changed Roman civilization, he established a legacy that would far outlive him. After years of political turmoil, he brought the city and the empire from the chaos of civil war to a system of ordered and stable government (Shotter, Introduction). Along with his strong influence on government policies, his influence found its way into parts of culture such as architecture, religion, and literature as well. In doing this, Caesar Augustuscreated a name for himself that would transcend the ages. Augustus was born as Gaius Octavius on September 23, 63 B.C. (Richardson 4). Showing promise as young man, his great uncle, Julius Caesar, took special interest in him, giving him jobs and experience in the political world. Caesar eventually developed a relationship so close with him that he considered Octavius his adopted son (Shotter, Ch. 2). When Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, his murderers, Brutus and Cassius, had no plans for the future other than believing that the death of the tyrant would automatically lead to the Restorations of the Republic, and instead plunged Rome into a fresh round of civil conflict for thirteen more years (Shotter Ch. 2; Bentley et al. 223). This problem sets up the need for a political figure to fix these pressing issues, and harboring

Social workers understand the value base of the profession and its value base of the profession and its ethical standards, as well as relevant laws and regulations that may impact practice at the micro and macro level (Segal, 2016). Although social workers are trained and understand ethical standards does not prevent them to one day face ethical issues.

These boundary challenges as Reamer categorizes them are part of what he calls the Digital period. Issues steadily arise even among segments of the population that one would expect to

This form of concerto gave soloists a chance to show off their virtuosity, especially violinists on the new instruments thanks to luthiers such as Stradivarius and Guarneri. Vivaldi s solo concertos provided musicians with a much wider range of colour by using orchestration techniques of pizzicato and muted strings and contrast which was unparalleled at the time. He mostly followed the simple three movement structure of fast slow fast, because Vivaldi followed this pattern closely this became a prominent template for the next three centuries of composers.

When principals strive to make their schools a safe and supportive environment, everybody wins most importantly the students. PBSS Influence at the Classroom Level A school wide discipline and behavior management approach, such as a Positive Behavioral Support System (PBSS), has great influence on what happens at the individual classroom level. Skill, accountability, consistency and special situations are four components of PBSS. Social skills instruction is a key component of an effective classroom. Students spend the highest percentage of their day in the classroom. Therefore, this is where the majority of social skills instruction must occur. Grade level teams must work together to develop a behavioral matrix that addresses the needs of their students. The behavioral matrix, as part of the PBSS, specifies the expectations for students and holds them accountable in the classroom as well as the common areas of the school with consistency. One of the most important roles teachers play in a typical classroom is classroom manager. Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a classroom that is poorly managed. In order for the social skills instruction to be effective, teachers need to create a positive environment that is effectively organized and managed. At the classroom level, teachers need to implement strategies to teach, prompt, reinforce, and infuse student focused interpersonal, problem

In this case, Kotchian is face with many challenging moral issues. Kotchian s biggest moral predicament was paying the bribes to the Japanese politicians. But, Carl Kotchian was simply doing business in a market where he did not understand the rules. Kotchian did not offer the bribes to seal the deal; he was told if he wanted the deal he had to pay bribes. Kotchian only followed the rules of the system in which this deal took place. Outside the United States bribery was a common global practice in the 1970s. By paying these bribes, Kotchian secured thousands of jobs, and the financial security of those families, and shareholders. Kotchian played by the rules of a system that functioned on bribes, and did what any good business executive in that time would have done in the global market place. IV. CONCLUSION: Kotchian actions were motivated by the act utilitarianism, which states an action is right if and only if it produces the greatest balance of pleasure over pain for everyone. By paying the bribes Kotchian made everyone one involved satisfied. By Japan purchasing airplanes from Lockheed many jobs were created, Lockheed was promised a future, and all involved parties on the Japanese side were content.

The gradual decrease of Japanese pride is also emphasized with the fact that he sees himself as only half Japanese, since one does not speak and...play and fight and see and hear in America among Americans...without becoming American and loving it (16). He explains this uncertainty about his national identity as the reason behind why he refused to go serve in the army in the first place. Later in the novel, as Ichiro converses with Emi, he considers the possibility that his decision was not out of Japanese nationalism, but due to the societal ideal that one must choose if they are Japanese or American; being both is impossible (84). Subsequently, the allegorical message that he is not masculine enough, which in a way defines American ness in American culture, is portrayed by the beating he receives from Taro s friends. At first, the initial visual image of the scene views the situation as only an attack on Ichiro. However, the second underlying meaning behind this literal attack is portrayed by when There was a sharp and slender youth bent over him with a wide grin and started to slip the knife blade under the leather belt (73). The action of slipping the knife blade under Ichiro s leather belt infers the attempt to castrate him to further emasculate him, which represents that he does not belong to society as both a person of color and as an American man due to refusing to serve in the army.
