Personal Response Essays
Crafting a personal response essay can be both challenging and rewarding. The difficulty lies in
the inherent subjectivity of the task – you are essentially delving into your own thoughts,
emotions, and experiences. This self-reflective nature requires a delicate balance between
introspection and effective communication.
Firstly, the challenge arises from the need to articulate personal feelings and thoughts coherently.
Expressing oneself in writing can be intricate, as finding the right words to convey nuanced
emotions can be elusive. It demands a level of introspection that may make some uncomfortable,
exposing vulnerabilities or uncertainties.
Furthermore, personal response essays often require a fusion of personal experience and external
references, adding another layer of complexity. The task is not merely to recount personal
anecdotes but to engage critically with external stimuli, whether it be literature, art, or any other
form of media. This demands a keen analytical mind, the ability to draw connections, and to
weave together personal and external perspectives seamlessly.
Moreover, striking the right balance between subjectivity and objectivity can be a tightrope walk.
While the essay is a personal response, it still needs to be grounded in some universal truths or
relatable aspects to resonate with a broader audience. Straying too far into subjectivity may
result in a disconnected narrative that fails to engage the reader.
In addition to these challenges, the very personal nature of the essay can also be a source of
difficulty. Writers may grapple with the fear of being too revealing or worry about how their
thoughts will be perceived by others. This self-consciousness can hinder the free flow of ideas
and emotions, impeding the authenticity that makes personal response essays compelling.
In conclusion, crafting a personal response essay is a multifaceted task that demands a delicate
blend of introspection, critical thinking, and effective communication. It's an art that requires the
writer to navigate the intricacies of self-expression while maintaining a connection with a
broader audience. Despite the challenges, the process offers a unique opportunity for personal
growth and a deeper understanding of oneself.
And for those seeking assistance with such essays or similar academic tasks, various resources
are available, including online writing services. Platforms likeHelpWriting.net provide a range

The neuroanatomical approach to aphasia relies on the localization of lesions on the
brain in addition to clinical observation in order to classify patients according to
syndromes. For example, according to the neuroanatomical approach, Broca s
aphasia, which us usually associated with a lesions on the posterior inferior frontal
gyrus of the brain, has cardinal features that distinguish is from other fluent and non
fluent aphasias (e.g. poor repetition, poor repetition and poor naming with good
auditory comprehension). Within this model, the general assessment process of an
aphasic person consists of: (1) Gathering the client s case history (e.g. a car accident
that results in an injury to the anterior superior frontal lobe (in the case of... Show

Further, different researchers and clinicians may classify patients differently as
there as not clear cut boundaries which separate classifications. In addition,
patients have good and bad days, such that a patient s performance on a particular
day may be a cause for misclassification of aphasia. Furthermore, a patient can
evolve from one classification to another during the course of recovery (e.g. from
Broca s Aphasia to Anomic Aphasia). Also, there are varying degrees within a
particular classification. For example, Patrick had mild Broca s aphasia, while
some patients who have Broca s aphasia can barely speak at all (i.e. severe Broca s
aphasia). Nevertheless, the classification system according to syndromes is useful
when describing groups of people, rather than individuals, for example in research.
However, it can also be valuable in clinical practice because it is an efficient way
of best describing a person s aphasia profile. For example, in a clinical setting it
may be useful to use a classification (e.g. Wernicke s aphasia), when talking to the
client or the client s family. This is because it can give them a reasonable sense of
what is happening to them without overwhelming them (although in most cases, it is
still overwhelming), and because in many cases people and their families prefer to
have an answer rather than not knowing what has happened. Additionally, it is
possible that a person may fall into a particular

Interfaith ministries and the issue of refugees: Monday 8, February 2016 by
Katharine Shilcutt, Houston Chronicle
The Interfaith Ministries faces the issue of refugees. Al Sudani, the supervisor of
the refugee camps at interfaith ministries, helps to resettle 1500 refugees a year in
Houston. Interfaith has helped 25 refugees who are as a result of the recent terrorist
attack in Paris. In addition, it has been recognized as a haven for refugees since the
200,000 Vietnamese resettled here in 1970. The refugees in Houston face a hard time

However, the agencies assist them in staying together. In Houston, there is a
hospitable environment for refugees where there are, welcoming people, great
economy, generous people and better employment. Interfaith took the news hard just
like any refugee service would do to ensure Al Hadan was resettled. This shows
they are concerned about other people s welfare. Interfaith Ministries believe in their
country s tradition of welcoming families fleeing violence and persecution. Raequel
Roberts asserts that our experience displays that the refugees are normal humans
with abnormal circumstances. This is the key to overcoming fear. The challenge of
long duration process of getting citizenship. This is depicted whereby the green card
is applied within a year while the citizenship takes 5 years. This challenge should be

that a country shows its progress and beauty when it renders its people their rights
and responsibilities whether natives or refugees. The hour long interviews and the
vetting agencies should also be reinstated. However, the Interfaith Ministries has

On the Internet teachers have set plans or guidelines for other teachers to look at
and get ideas on what to do for their classroom. I think this is a great idea for
teachers to use especially for new and young teachers to get some great ideas. By
using this tool, teachers could hopefully get better and new ideas on how to teach
certain subjects or try new things with the students. Teachers can get hints on how
they can give tests, or how to help the students become better test takers on the
Internet. The web site http//www.schoolnotes.com showed many different ways
teachers could help the students. The site gives teachers ideas on the best ways to
give oral test, true and false tests, by giving the teacher instructions on how to
successfully present the material. Class Webs are another way teachers and students
can get involved with the Internet and technology; students can help their teachers
create a web page for their class. Many teachers use the Internet to find Resources for
the classroom. They can find many things for the class to do on the Internet like
games and projects.
I have talked to a couple of teachers when I worked for an elementary school in high
school during my Junior and Senior year. I asked the teachers whom I worked with
what they thought of using the computers in schools. They said it is a nice thing to
have in school for the students. The teachers liked the idea that they could get the
students on programs to help
A Raisin In The Sun Racial Intolerance Essay
A Raisin in the Sun highlights and develops themes of racial intolerance by focusing
on three specific expository aspects: the era, ethnicity, and economic status. First of
all, the story is set during the 1950 s in Chicago, where the common stereotype
depicted African Americans as content, second class citizens. Contrary to this belief,
however, many African Americans also chased the American dream, the widespread
hope of being financially successful, just as the Youngers did. Yet, while some
African Americans surrendered to conformity and assimilation, like George, to
become successful, many focused on building from their roots, using pride and
tradition to eventually achieve prosperity. Second of all, exposed to racismand
prejudice for being African Americans, the Youngers often times find

After picking up a rotten apple, Mama asked one of the white employees if she
could have a batch of fresh apples and he agreed. However, when a white woman
asked the same question, the man gave her the apples instead of Mama. Disgusted,
Mama walked out of the store, refusing to be treated like a second class citizen any
longer. Though this was a short scene from the movie, it portrayed the daily
intolerance of African Americans living in the United States and the actions taken,
however miniscule, to prevent them from being treated as equals to white men.
Third of all, we can observe how a low economic status further affects the treatment
of African Americans by white people. When looking at the Youngers, we can
specifically focus on Mr. Lindler and his offer to buy their house from them. Seeing
that he wanted to keep a segregated neighborhood without any African Americans, he
used money as a means of manipulation to get the Youngers to agree to his demands.
In other words, he knew of their economic status and saw money as an easy method

How The White Southern Identity In Bears Discover Fire,

The American South is largely characterized as a backwards and antiquated place,
fighting to keep a past way of life alive. While accurate at some level, the nuance of
white Southern identity is sometimes lost in this portrayal. The culture is dynamic,
shifting as new ideas compete with old ones. In his short story Bears Discover Fire ,
Terry Bisson not only examines how the South is caught between the past and the
future, but also illustrates the ways in which progress (no matter how natural) can be
unsettling if it appears to leave us behind. The story begins with a flat tire causing
what you might call knowing groans (Bisson), instigating a lecture from the our

While never outright aggressive like the hunter s wife and the policemen, Bobby
approaches this change with a characteristic skepticism. As he begins to spend
more time with the bears, watching their fires and seeing Little dramas...being
played out as fiery chambers were created and then destroyed (Bisson), he grows
more comfortable with them. This observation in particular, seeing fire as an
agent of change, is indicative of how Bobby grows to see the bears evolution. He
sits with them, sharing in their fire, and realizes that their spirits seem solitary
(Bisson). Bobby sees them as individual beings, each with their own mind. Bisson
frames the bears as usurpers, and perhaps as more than a metaphor for general
change. In this context, the bears could be a stand in for any non White or non
Southern group moving into and changing the South. This evolution of Bobby s
view on change, and a group that seems threatening to an old way of life that had
humanity as the sole fire bearers, alludes to one of the solutions for resistance to
progress in the South: exposure. Bisson illustrates how real experience and
connection with progress and diversity influences our worldview. In short, the bears
aren t just bears; they are progress, change, and groups of

Analysis Of The Passionate Shepherd To His Love
The Passionate Shepherd to His Love is a kind of peaceful sonnet made by
Christopher Marlowe in the late sixteenth century. This sonnet involves shepherds
and nation life. This sonnet was composed in a shepherd s field or settings. The data
given is about the speaker who is a shepherd and thinks hopefully and impractically.
Before Christopher Marlowecould print his work he had begun accepting different
reactions about and towards his work., One such reaction was composed by Sir
Walter Raleighin his lyric The Nymph s Reply to the Shepherd which was an
immediate reaction to The Passionate shepherd to His Loveby Christopher Marlowe.
Marlowe does not put much accentuation much on the character or setting yet more
on the claim that the shepherd is endeavoring to make to the young lady. The
exceptional topic of this work is of joy and optimistic love (Raleigh 4). Carpe Diem
was an acknowledged topic in sonnets of this period, and this portrays as a topic. The
speaker asserts his adoration to live with him and advantage from the fulfillments of
the day.
Looking carefully on both lyrics, one understands that the game plan of these two
sonnets is a similar where both have six stanzas involving four lines each. In
quatrains, both comprise of four measures for every line with two syllables in each
measure as the shepherd urges his adored to attempt the delights of nature. In his
reaction, Sir Walter Raleigh composes utilizing the young lady as the speaker,

Apple And Microsoft Vs. Apple
Apple and Microsoft
Apple and Microsoft are the two largest firms in the industry of consumer electronics
and computer manufacture. The two companies tend to have numerous similarities
and differences. Microsoft and Apple simultaneously initiated their corporate
structure. Currently, they are the best earning top innovators and major rivals in the
market, and their products are globally most utilized. This paper evaluates similarities
and differences between Microsoft and Apple by exploring their structure, products,
and overall success.
Apple Company tends to emphasize on its efforts concerning design and manufacture
of the consumer electronics, such as personal computers, mobile phones, and related
software products (Arthur, 2012). Microsoft appears to have adopted the above
aspect, when they started producing their own Microsoft phone products.
The co founders of both Microsoft and Apple are recognized as being the driving
force behind the brands. Bill Gates is famous for accomplishing most of his dream of
placing a computer in every home and on every desk in addition to his philanthropic
work through Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. On the other hand, the late Steve
Jobs, the co founder of Apple, appeared to be an innovative genius and an iconoclast.
Both of them are recognized as the richest and greatest entrepreneurs on a global
scale (Arthur, 2012).
Both Microsoft and Apple tend to have retail stores. However, Apple seems to have

The Main Characters In Henry James s Daisy Miller
In Henry James s Daisy Miller, the main character Frederick Winterbourne masks
Daisy Miller s personality with his own imagination. Told from a limited narration
point of view, this novel solely emphasizes Mr. Winterbourne s perception of the
world around him, focusing most on Ms. Daisy s character. Mr. Winterbourne aims to
unravel Ms. Miller s charactermake up throughout chapter one, using only his and his
aunt s preconceived notions of women in American society. By being too
introspective and imaginative, Mr. Winterbourne is unable to see Ms. Miller as
anything more but a conquest, and therefore he is unable to empathize with her as
another human being.
When Mr. Winterbourne first notices Ms. Miller, he fixates on her prettiness and
refuses to stray from his surface level admiration, even after inquiring about her. The
narrator, embodying Mr. Winterbourne s thoughts, repeats pretty American girl,
constantly, revealing Mr. Winterbourne s reasoning for becoming captivated by her
to begin with. Mr. Winterbourne s fixation on Ms. Miller being a pretty girl depicts
how he is captivated by the alluring nature of her beauty, considering she had done
nothing at first to captivate him with her speech or her personality. He builds the
foundation of his relationship with her on physical attributes, expecting her
personality to follow his preconceived mental sculpture of how a young, pretty
American woman is supposed to act.
After being captivated by her prettiness, Mr.

The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre is considered by many historians to be the first battle of the
Revolutionary War. The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre
resulted in the death of five colonists. British troops in the Massachusetts Bay
Colony were there to stop demonstrations against the Townshend Acts and keep
order, but instead they provoked outrage. The British soldiers and citizens brawled
in streets and fought in bars. The citizens viewed the British soldiers as potential
oppressors, competitors for jobs, and a treat to social mores . A defiant anti British
fever was lingering among the townspeople.
There are three major things that led to the Boston Massacre: First was the growing
mistrust among the British soldiers and Americans. There were a number of other
incidents were the British clashed with the patriots and their supporters. Individual
soldiers were beaten on street corners and soldiers abused unarmed civilians. In all
the Americans in Boston made it clear that the British soldiers were unwanted. The
second reason is somewhat odd. The removal of two out of four regiments meant
there were to inadequate amounts of soldiers to keep the peace. There were enough
on the other hand to remind the patriots of the great British military. The last reason
would be the revolt of the Townshend Acts. The patriots and Americans did not agree
and strife with the British soldiers over it. The Act built tension between the two.
On March 5, 1770 the dreadful day came. A

Forgiveness In The Crucifixion
The York Mystery Plays portray the death of Jesus Christ as the climatic event in
biblical history that authorizes humankind to acquire religious salvation by repenting
for sinful conduct. The dramatists use the abstract concept of forgiveness to reveal
the spiritual consolation that followers of Christianity receive from Christ s sacrifice.
In The Crucifixion, the execution of Christ gives mortals the intellectual capacity to
identify sin and obtain forgiveness. The dramatists portray humanity as a vile
species that is ignorant of its sinful disposition by characterizing the soldiers who
assemble the cross as apathetic servants of their king. A soldier declares his
ignorance of his immorality when he states I will go say to our sovereigns of all these
works how we have wrought (216). He is committing a sin by facilitating the
Crucifixion, however, his behavior becomes justifiable because he is demonstrating
obedience to his king. The soldiers loyalty to the unethical sovereign introduces a
necessity for humanity to worship a doctrine that promotes morality, which Christ s
ministry accomplishes by describing sinful conduct. Christ recognizes his death as an
incident that will promote morality and forgiveness when he states My father...
Forgive these men that do me pine. What they work, wot they not (220). The citizens
are unaware of their immorality because the occurrence of Christ s death that
establishes the fundamental principles of Christianity has not happened. Christ offers
the citizens justification for their behavior because he perceives humanity as ignorant
of their sins without his sacrifice. The death of Christ establishes a necessity for
individuals to follow the doctrine of Christianity to have the intellectual capacity to
identify sinful behavior, and proceed to request God s forgiveness to acquire salvation.
In The Death of Christ, forgiveness allows mortals to reconcile with their sins by
establishing repentance as the expression that leads to salvation. The play s stage
setting conveys the Christian principle that all sins are equal in the perception of God
by aligning two individuals liable of theft with Christ s accusation of treason. The

to track status and record the measurement of the key plant operational equipment.
The Supervisory Control and Data Access (SCADA) system interfaced with the
plant equipment provides, the operation team, a real time data on the key
components of the plant s equipment. SCADA allows operational team to open,
close or adjust equipment parameters to archive maximum efficiency to meet the
peak demand. According to Russell and Taylor (2014), the size and complexity of
the problem makes the decision making often difficult. Further, the flow is
controlled by a bottleneck, so any resource should spend no time on non productive
activities, but must have material to work on to overcome the theory of constrain
and the focus should be of automation efforts. SCADA does allow automation and
the data collected from SCADA helps aeration optimization for scheduling which
will ultimately reflect any capacity limitations. The new high energy turbo blowers
save 30% energy to mix and aerate the tanks (Poole, Neighbors, Green, Baert,

additional capital cost. The real time monitoring and the dissolved oxygen (D.O.)

How Cooperative Learning Impacts Higher Order And
Critical...
The challenge this researcher faces lies in the structure of a particular Accelerated
Math II (10th Grade) curriculum at Lucy C. Laney High School in Augusta, Georgia,
in which all students enrolled in the course have to be proficient in all areas of the
curriculum. The researcher has observed very little higher order/critical thinking and
problem solving and low motivation/morale which may impact student performance
in the math course. After a year of intense coursework, including real world
application practice, and many short answer and multiple choice assessments,
students show minimum performance on an accelerated curriculum provided to
them. This challenges the instructional efforts of the teacher to increase the
performance and promote higher order thinking in the math class. Therefore the
purpose for this study is to determine if cooperative learning impacts higher order
/critical thinking skills and student achievement. Review of the Literature
Cooperative learning is one of the best studied academic strategies in the history of
educational research, with over 1,000 research studies on the subject dating as far
back as 1898 (Stanne, Johnson Johnson, 1999). There are so many studies, in fact,
that the most easily to get to point of entry into the literature is meta analyses of large
numbers of studies. The most important piece of information is that cooperative
learning models have been established to have an obviously positive impact on
student achievement.
Administrative Discretion Essay
Administrative Discretion

Public Administration
13 December 2011
Administrative Discretion
Administrative discretion is a discretionary action is informal and, therefore,
unprotected by the safeguards inherent in formal procedure. A public official, for
example, has administrative discretion when he or she has the freedom to make a
choice among potential courses of action. Abuse of Discretion is the failure to
exercise reasonable judgment or discretion. It might provide a Cause of Action for an
unconstitutional invasion of rights protected by the due process clause of the
Constitution (West s Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2. Copyright 2008 The
Gale Group, Inc). So do I think that public administrators ... Show more content on

This is where administrative discretion can go wrong because it can be bias for
personal reasons, sexual reasons, anything. My question would be what it the faculty
members were having their own personal issues and they could not separate work
from home and the allowed there personal issues control the decisions of the students
punishments that could probably effect the rest of their lives. Another factor of a
disadvantage is the sex linked method the female faculty member may have been an
emotional to her decision with the students if they were crying or had a compelling
story of how they would act out oppose to the male faculty member who was
demanding as far as being a disciplinarian. Then we also have to take into
consideration age and race could have played a factor for the faculty in this case.
The female had to deal with she was younger so she may have related to the students
as well as being African American which did honestly play a part back in that time
even current statics dated in 2010 showed that African Americans were only 9% of
the teacher population within the whole nation..
In conclusion, administrative discretion has its good points and bad. I do not think
that all government power should have the discretion. As the people of the United

So, you want to create your own online space but don t know how to start blogging?
With all the scripts and technology today, it s easier than you think! Here are 7 steps
to starting a blog that will get you going:
1. Decide What You Want Your Blog To Be About
The first thing you need to decide is what you will blog about. Do you want a general
blog about your rants and raves? A blog about training your dog? A blog about your
self sustaining garden? Deciding on your topic is key because you will need to do
some keyword research in order to find some good phrases to target as well as a good
domain name.
2. To Host Or Not To Host
If you don t have any money for starting a blog, then you can use free services like
Blogger, free WordPress, Tumblr, Weebly or many of the other free platform. I
don t recommend this, however because at any time these services can remove
your blog and all your hard work will be for nothing. The best route to take,
especially if you plan to make money from your blog someday is to buy
Robert Gould Shaw Biography

During the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, the 2nd Infantry was ordered to cover
the retreat from Strasburg, Virginia in the battle at Front Royal on May 23, 1862.
In this engagement Shaw received a minor wound and was recognized by his men
for exhibiting courage and a cool composure during the fight. But the 2nd Infantry
would not experience their real baptism of fire until the Northern Virginia Campaign
at the Cedar Mountain wheatfield, August 9, 1862. The regiment suffered terrible
losses and would be tested again on September 17 at the Battle of Antietam,
considered the bloodiest single day in the war. Shaw, now a captain in the unit,
received a minor wound but felt the excitement of the battle as never before.
However, after experiencing the horrors of this event, he wished more than ever that
the war would end. Shaw was offered a deal to take command of a new All Black
Regiment. At first, he declined the offer, but after further thought he accepted the

Ray Bradbury Writing Style
Ray Bradbury was born on August 22nd, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. In 1931
Bradbury began to write some of his first stories and in 1938 his first story
Hollerbochen s Dilemma was published in Imagination, an amateur fan magazine.
In 1942 Bradbury writes The Lake the story in which he feels that he discovered his
unique style. During his early adult years his work was routinely rejected and not
until the late 1940 s did he breakthrough with the publication of his horror and
fantasy stories in pulp magazines. Bradbury s real breakthrough to a mainstream
audience came in 1950 with the publishing of his book The Martian Chronicles , a
series of short stories which describe the first attempts of Earth people to conquer and
colonize... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Bradbury admired other writer s techniques and made them his own tools that he
would use to express his personal vision of science fiction. Many of Bradbury s
influences come from a wide range of authors as well as other media such as film,
radio, and theater. Bradbury was directly influenced by Edgar Allen Poe s complex
style which was an influence with both positive and negative effects on his writing.
John Steinbeck also had a large influence on Bradbury. From Steinbeck, Bradbury
learned to be objective and still get all his literary ideas on paper. As he improves
his writing skills Bradbury was also influenced during his years as a writing
apprentice where he had personal relationships with well known authors such as;
Robert Heinlein, Hennery Kuttner, and Leigh Brackett. Brackets emphasis on
discipline helped Bradbury develop work habits that he has maintained throughout his
career. Ray Bradbury appeals to a wider audience then do many other science fiction
writers. During his lifetime Bradbury has written over 500 stories, plays,
screenplays, comic books, and poems. Some of his topics are: magic, horror, and
monsters; rockets, robots, time and space travel; growing up in a Midwestern town
in the 1920 s and growing old in an abandoned Earth colony on Mars. In 1980
Bradbury entered a new phase
Essay on Henry David Thoreau s Integrity
Henry David Thoreau s Integrity
Although his actions were admirable and act as evidence to integrity, the writings
of Henry David Thoreau and Emerson reveal a haughty and pretentious individual.
Thoreau s courage was noble. He was quick to immerse himself in his beliefs and
abandon any obligation to social norms despite the risk in damaging his reputation.
His rejection of societal limitations and steadfast individualism was truly
commendable, however, his mannerisms were extremely rude. He cast aside all tact
and consideration of others because he was so consumed with himself. He coldly
and fully stated his opinion without affecting to believe that it was the opinion of the
company. It was of no consequence, if every one present ... Show more content on

This can be deduced as being pompous and stubborn or generous and independent.
He was self sufficient but this strength can be somewhat aggravating. Thoreau felt so
superior to his peers that he denied any aid in order to maintain his aloof character.
That way, he never owed his accomplishments to anybody. There was nobody to be
thankful for. He seldom thanked colleges for their service to him, holding them in
small esteem, whilst yet his debt to them was important. (p. 1235) Every success was
attributed to solely his own achievements and never that of another institution.
In that same realm, Thoreau keeps a distance with the reader and speaks with a
holier than thou air. He is consumed with his experiences and idolizes himself
because he allows no respect for the rest of society. He treats himself as royalty in
that no other individual could compare to his triumphs. Actually, the laboring man
has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest
relations to men; his labor would be depreciated in the market. He has no time to be
any thing but a machine. (p. 1809) He is denouncing the average working man and
offending the majority of humanity.
When describing Walden, Thoreau constantly makes references to celestial beings
and persons of royal

This research will contribute and benefit business organizations by making awareness
and by identifying problems to give some possible solutions.
1.2 Statement of the problem
Agriculture has always been the backbone of Ethiopia s economy. Yet, lifting millions
of Ethiopians out of poverty requires transformation from centuries old subsistence
agriculture to dynamic, technology driven market oriented production. This can only
happen if the market itself functions in such a way as to serve the needs of all
concerned stakeholder of the market.
Ethiopian coffee marketing system is also on age old tradition. To date, coffee
markets have been characterized by high cost and high risks of transacting, forcing
much of Ethiopia into global isolation.
Coffee trading is done on the basis of auction system which backed by poor
technology and clearing and payment system which drives up the processing and
marketing cost and these leads to high consumer price this forcing coffee exporter
to be powerless into global market. In addition to his small scale farmers come to the
market with little information and are at the mercy of coffee supplier or collector in
the nearest and only market they know, unable to negotiate better prices or reduces
their market risks.
Doing business in a standard and acceptable way is one of the competitive
advantages in this global market, especially for

Sales Promotion Tools Are The Lifeblood Of Marketing
Products
Sales promotion tools are the lifeblood of marketing products/services to
consumers. Without them, people would not be as likely to purchase every new
fad that comes their way, and corporations would be wasting their money on
products people were nervous to buy. For example, if you were used to using one
particular type of cat food because you know your cat enjoys eating it, how likely
would you be to switch the food? Probably not very likely, due to the fact that you
had already looked at the nutrition facts, the price, and the seafood taste that cats
are sure to love. Now, what if you received a ten dollar off coupon (for cat food that
only costs twelve dollars). What would you do? Would you reconsider the food
you were going to buy that week because of this coupon? Maybe the new food is just
as good now that you are really thinking about it, and it only is going to cost a total
of two dollars, so no harm done if you go ahead and make the purchase. This is
exactly what a good salespromotion does to consumers, it makes them take a second
look at their buying choices, and hopefully convinces them that it would be a good
idea to try their product. I live in the United States, and the three most heavily used
sales promotions are contests, loyalty programs, and sponsorships. Who doesn t
love a chance to win something free I know I do! Contests give you a chance to
win a product that you would like to have, but possibly cannot afford, or you just

All educational policies, says the Framework, should stipulate that disabled children
attend the neighbourhood school, that would be attended if the child did not have a
disability. (UNESCO, 1994., p.24) There is seemingly little doubt that the catalyst for
inclusion within the English system lies in the sentiments outlined in the Salamanca
Statement. As Hornby, (2002)., asserts, The statement has resulted in what, at times,
appears to be a tidal wave of inclusion intent preached with overpowering zeal by the
church of inclusion. (p.7) It is observable, though, that despite this missionary zeal
the implementation of inclusionary practices, within the English system, began
slowly. Although some might argue that the last Conservative government, through
the Code of Practice (DFE, 1994), encouraged children with special educational needs
to join fully with their peers in the curriculum and the life of the setting (p.11), others
contended that: the code only addressed identification and standardisation in an
attempt to end the vagueness of special educational needs, previously delivered
through a postcode lottery of provision. (Clough, 1998. p.2) 2.3Theoretical Models It
is commonly accepted that there are two contrasting models or views of disability

Who they are and what they do, the passage illustrates the significances of a
Noncommissioned Officer/Petty officers, by highlighting the key points of their duty

The chapter summarizes their entity as influential personnel who are devoted to their

train the enlisted force by developing, preparing, [and] sustaining mission essential
tasks. In order to accomplish this, what all NCOs/POs have in common is their

any actions necessary to ensure and promote a healthy lifestyle, unity, and

Olympic Stadium Controversy
Introduction
This controversy revolves around the stadium meant to be the host for the Tokyo
2020 Olympic Games. With the preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in
Tokyo, one of the preparations was to build a new stadium to host the games and
in 2012, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) won the stadium commission through an
international competition (Dezeen, 2015a). Soon after ZHA bid won, they
started work on the site and after two years, and after Japan had won the bid to
host the 2020 Olympics, the controversy began with the main argument against the
project being that the architectural design was over budgeted and that it could not
be financially sustainable. As a result, ZHA had to revise their design in 2014 with
a new design that addressed the previously voiced criticism. However, with
criticism still raging on, Japan Sports Council (JSC) canceled the firm s plans in
July 2015, after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe weighed into the issue by
announcing that the design plans will be scrapped as a result of spiraling costs and
that the project would be started from scratch. This issue ended up being referred to
as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic stadium controversy and one of the major architectural
controversies of 2015 (Dezeen magazine, 2015b). This paper, ... Show more content

Hamlet s View On Life
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive. We always hear this quote, but
what is the true value of life? How do we know when we have lived life to the
fullest? These are questions that are asked by many people every day. Many
people want to be successful, but can have rough start early in life. This does not
have to be the case for many because life is short and being happy is a very
important for many. Although many people may not realize how valuable life
really is, it is important to appreciate every moment in life and chase your dreams,
even if it means challenging yourself every day. First of all, Hamlet was not a very
positive human being; he asks himself whether he wants to live or not. It is seen
that Hamlet has a negative perspective on life; in fact despises his life so much, he
wishes he could end it. Hamlet states that his life is a sea of troubles and wants to
end his life (Shakespeare III.i.5 6). Shakespeare uses this to show how Hamlet
viewed life and how much of a coward he really was. Hamlet was a pessimistic man
who does not compare to Jobs at all because he was a man who loved life and went
through a lot of challenges . Unlike Hamlet, it is seen that Ebert is a very positive

Synesthesia In Emily Dickinson s Burial
It was not death, for I stood up pg. 18
Thesis: Dickinson delays the speaker s true state of being through the use of gothic
elements, repetition, and synesthesia in order to to convey their inability to give an
explanation for their despair.
Gothic Elements:
It was not Death/ And all the Dead/ It was not Night (Dickinson 1 3)
In the first stanza Dickinson includes the gothic elements of death, dead and night.
Including these elements sets the scene for the speaker of the poem as the speaker
starts to try to describe what they are going through. The scene being described
through rationalizations emphasises the fact that the speaker is unable to convey
their thoughts. The speaker states what it is not in saying It was not death and It was
not night showing they are unsure of how and why they feel the way they do
And yet it tasted like them all/ Set orderly, for Burial; (Dickinson 9, 11)
The capitalization of Burial is significant in showing the speaker s uncertainty. The
speaker is trying to interpret and compare the speaker s feelings to that of others
when the text states, it tasted like them all . As it shows the development of the
speaker s ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is in these first two stanzas that Dickinson attempts to rationalize the speaker s
condition, specifically, telling the audience what it is not. Despite the fact that the
speaker is characterizing a chaotic emotional state, the speaker manages to organize
their thoughts clearly. The repetition of it was not, plays a role within the
organization of the poem. Dickinson creates a pattern with the speaker s repetition
of it was not, followed by the reason for the speaker eliminating a possibility. The
speaker knows they can not be dead, because they are standing up. The blackness
engulfing them isn t night, because the noontime bells are ringing. Lastly, the chill
they feel is not physical cold, because they feel hot
Education Vs. Propaganda And Propaganda
Education vs. Propaganda
Education is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as: The process of receiving or
giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university; while
propaganda is defined as: Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature,
used to promote a political cause or point of view. (Oxford University Press, 2017)
By just the definition alone, one can spot several differences between education and
propaganda. Whereas education and propaganda are different as in education is truth
and propaganda is lies, they are also similar in the fact both are a form of
indoctrination and aimed towards aiding the government s own agenda.

Board of Education understates segregation stating, Under segregation, all white and
all African American schools sometimes had similar buildings, buses, and teachers.
Sometimes, however, the buildings, buses, and teachers for the all black schools
were lower in quality. Often, African American children had to travel far to get to
their school. (Strauss) This passage does not begin to hit on the disadvantages and
limitations placed on black students and citizens during the Jim Crow era. This is
only one example of one textbook downplaying segregation. Native American history
that is taught within the school is often misleading as well as incorrect. Students
learn about the first Thanksgiving in elementary, but not about the massacres that
were before and after. Students don t hear about how the English settlers came in to
claim land that was not theirs. When American History is taught it is taught from the
beginning of the Europeans finding America instead of the beginning of America.
American historians as well as textbooks ignore the fact that America has an
extensive history before the European conquest. (Forbes, pp.349) School boards are
allowing biased curriculum into the school systems, allowing students to be misled.
This is a form of propaganda. But why use propaganda in the education system?
Education is the indoctrination of children whereas propaganda is the indoctrination

At this point in the story, Jurgis viewed that there is no place for him in this world.

than many of the other chapters in the story? Since Upton Sinclair illustrate the life
of an affluent family like the Jones, this chapter is easier and more interesting to
read than many of the other chapters in the story. In this chapter, the Jones family
lived in luxurious castle with butlers and servants unlike previous chapters where
Sinclair described the struggles of the factory workers. 3. Many critics believe this
scene is written to delight Sinclair s socialist friends. At the time it was written,
readers would have easily recognized that the butler is named after Alexander
Hamilton, who was Secretary of the Treasury, and that the dog is named after
Admiral Dewey, who fought in the Spanish American War. Sinclair and the other
socialists would have considered these two men to be perpetrators of the capitalist
system, and ridiculing them in this scene would have been very amusing. Besides
providing his readers with an amusing scene, what does Sinclair reveal about the
changes in Jurgis character during this chapter? During this chapter, Sinclair reveal
that capitalism bought out the worst in people especially Jurgis. After Jurgis migrate

man and tormenting Yossarian with the unfair life problems of a bomber pilot that
are out of his hands to decide, leaving him to fend for himself amongst the sea of
dangers awaiting to take his life (and others) until finally he sees freedom and
escapes from his officers and very angry whore. Yossarianhas avoided his missions
for as long as he could in the confines of war. He is found first in a hospital
pretending to have a liver disease and having symptoms related to this illness. He
naturally runs a slightly elevated temperature, making his story somewhat more
believable to the displeased nurses who have to take care of his every day.
However, being in the hospital with no entertainment can be catastrophic to one s
mind. To solve this dilemma, Yossarian, in charge of censoring the letters, began a
war with words. He would remove subjects, verbs, adverbs, and other important
elements of the letters; he even added the name Washington Irving and Irving
Washington. This would have caused chaos for families back home who want to
speak to their loved ones. Most of the times, there are only a couple of words left
and not even their loved one s name on the letters. It would be easy to think that this
is a casual, forgettable

Should people be allowed to download movies and music from the Internet or are
they violating copyright laws? There are compelling arguments on both sides.
Research shows the argument can go either way.
The research project investigated copyright infringement of downloading movies
and music on the Internet. File sharing is a fast growing industry with more new
sites being added all the time. Approximately two billion songs are downloaded
illegally every month. The losses sustained by the industry are great. The industry
loses more than $10 billion per year to illegal software; the Motion Picture
Association of America puts piracy losses in the U.S. at more than $3 billion per ...

The Internet service provider or the manufacturer of blank compact discs and burners
can charge this fee through sales. By having licenses to these options, the consumer
would share the costs. The United States Congress would have to approve the
licenses and this would be a billing nightmare for Internet service providers. Another
way to control distribution is through technology called digital rights management,
which essentially assigns usage rights and fees to everything from entertainment to
e mails to medical records. Giants like Sony (nyse: SNE news people ) and IBM
(nyse: IBM news people ) are promoting DRM technology (Sternstein, 2003).
The New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ are methods used to monitor the
research. Sony, Apple computers, BuyMusic.com, and IBM are promoting file sharing
from the internet and by allowing the downloading of music and movies their
stocks continue to rise. The equipment sales for compact disc burners and blank
compact discs are rising. The Walt Disney Company, Universal Pictures, and
Microsoft are experiencing losses from the file sharing dilemma. The revenues from
downloading movies as opposed to purchasing them have caused a loss in revenue
for The Walt Disney Company and Universal Pictures. Microsoft is losing from
software sales being lower because of the free software available on the Internet.

General Concept Of Security Communities
General concept of security communities
In accordance to the global political theory, the idea of forming a security community
was initially established by Deutsch in 1957, with the dominant purpose of promoting
a sense of community that believes in the concept of peaceful change . In a further
elaboration, the emergence of such communities have integrated individuals in a
group, allowing social problems to be resolved effectively in a peaceful manner via
institutionalized procedures, without the reliance and usage of physical forces.
Security communities have been classified into two basic types, an amalgamated and
pluralist form. In an amalgamated community, there would be two or more
independent political states merged and form one large unit that is in charged and
governed by only one common government, such as the USA. On the other hand,
under the pluralistic form of security community, state members are also came
together for negotiation and discussion over political issues, but formally retaining
under a sovereign government, for example, the EU (European Union), the Canada
US and Mexico, and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations). Base on
early postwar researches and analysis, pluralistic communities have been extremely
vigorous and success as the process of formation is considered to be simpler in
attaining and preserving than their counterparts.

2.2 The role of the Government and Open Door Policy
Deng Xiaoping set in prepare the change of China s economy when he declared a new
Open Door Policy in December 1978. Mr. Deng understood that China required
Western technology, innovation and investment, therefore he opened the path for
outside organisations who needed to set up in China (News.bbc.co.uk, n.d.). At first,
four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were farmed in South China with tax incentives
to draw in outside speculation into the nation.
As the nation is a developing economy, the government has to play a critical role to
guide and control the nation (Nove and Gerschenkron, 1963). For instance, the part
of government in enhancing general financial and social welfare ought not be
expelled or belittled, even in developed, mature economies (Reich, 1989).
Developing markets are countries that are investing in more productive capacity.
They are moving far from their conventional economies that have depended on
agribusiness and the export of raw materials. Leaders of developing countries want to
create a better quality of life for the citizens. Subsequently, they are rapidly
industrialising and embracing a free market or mixed economy (Amadeo, 2016).
Developing economies frequently seek to restructure their economies along market
oriented lines and offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology transfers, and
FDI (Heakal, 2015). Emerging markets are important because they drive growth in the
Why Do Dogs Lick
Why do Dogs Lick
Dogs normally lick either themselves, humans, other dogs, or just general stuff
around their surroundings to signal something. Licking is part of a dog s life but
when excessive this could trigger other issues. In order for us to understand this
behavior we will list a number of reasons why dogs do this:
1) Affection
Dogs will mostly lick us to show affection and apparently due to the fact that they
also like our salty ski. Licking for affection causes dogs to release pleasurable
endorphins that gives them a comforting and calming feeling. And since dogs have
special receptors in their noses and mouths they can actually feel your mood by
interpreting and processing scented molecules existing in human sweat.
2) Grooming

An example is if they keep licking the anal area frequently this could mean the anal
glands need to be expressed or they are suffering from allergies. Another common
reason is the skin may be itchy due to fungal and bacterial infections and while still
on the skin issue be keen and look out for any growths or small abscesses that could
cause be discomfort.
6) Healing
Dogs have enzymes in their saliva that can get rid of bacteria when they have
wounds on their skin this also helps in getting rid of dead tissues on the wound. As a
stress reliever when dogs lick themselves they release endorphins which play a role in
relaxing and soothing them.
7) Hunger
Most dog owners will agree with this, when a dog is hungry it will lick you to
express it is time for food or drink. Puppies will lick their mother s lips to express
hunger. On other hand wild dogs who hang around in packs may lick the pack leader
as a sign of begging for food.
8) Submission
Licking can also be a sign of submission this is because dogs have social orders. An
example is a dog higher in the chain maybe greeted by one lower in chain by being
licked on the mouth. It is important to always check on the dominant dog as
excessive licking can become irritating and make them snap at the submissive

If we can assess where students are lacking in their physical literacy, we can better

Physical literacy is the way to create active adults.
This means
Physically literate children are more likely to be physically active later in life. The
reasons for this are numerous for example someone who is confident in movement is
more likely to express themselves physically, join in extracurriculars such as team
sports, and do activities on their own because they are confident that they can do

Choose two of the three most central concepts from above and discuss how these
concepts will apply to you as a physical educator?
Using tools to assess gaps in physical literacy
I think this concept would be great to use at the beginning, middle and at the end of
each school year to assess each student as they come in and monitor their progress
throughout the year. I think this because it will help you keep on track as a teacher
and to use this as a formative assessment to see the path that the students are on.

Conviction Of Criminal Cases
One must understand that civil cases can also be considered criminal cases. A civil
case is generally between two individuals but if tried and sent to court with a jury it
could be deemed a criminal case against society. In chapter seven we learn of a
group of teenage nursing aids that were charged with abuse of elders living in the
home. I believe the nursing aids committed at least two intentional torts. The first
of the intentional torts is assault and battery on the elders of the good Samaritan
home. The teenagers were said to have verbally and physically abused elderly
patients (book 7) . The second tort is the invasion of the elderly s privacy. There are
four different ways one could invade someone s personal privacy and the one that

Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology Historical perspectives of
abnormal psychology sounds complicated, mainly due to the differing definitions,
or interpretations, of what is considered abnormal. Identifying someone at work or
in a social situation who appears to be behaving abnormally is easier to spot than it
is to define the term abnormal behavior. No matter what the definition of abnormal
the different perspectives each present a theory concerning its cause. This paper will

Basically Erikson theorized that individuals pass through eight stages of
development. Each stage of development involves two opposing powers, or contrary
dispositions; Erikson named these opposing powers syntonic and dystonic. An
individual, Erikson theorized, must successfully pass from one stage of development
to the next in order to maintain a healthy balance. As an example, the first stage of
development lists the syntonic as trust vs. the dystonic of mistrust. An individual
who does not successfully pass through stage on may develop a mistrust that lasts a
lifetime. The unsuccessful mastery of any of the eight stages of development could
cause an individual to develop abnormally, thereby demonstrating what society terms
abnormal behavior. Biological/Medical The biological/medical perspective refers to a
malfunction in the brain that is the primary cause for abnormal behavior. This
malfunctioning of the brain could be due to the physical structure of the brain itself
or abnormal biochemical functioning (Hansell Damour, 2008). The brain
abnormalities could be either genetic or environmental. ...the biological perspective
focuses on physical structures and biochemical functions in the body that contribute
to abnormal behavior (Hansell Damour, 2008, p. 36). As technology continues to

The Nature Of Discovery In The Virgin Suicides By Sofia...
Discovery is often provoked when the actions of others act as a catalyst, often
stimulating personal growth. However, the ramifications are dependent on individual
perceptions and the unique context they bring to the process. These ideas are
amplified by Shakespeare s Jacobean romance The Tempest, with its array of
characters who dramatise this instability through diverse human responses contrasting
to the antagonizing nature of discovery. 1999 American drama film, The Virgin
Suicidesby Sofia Coppola, reflects the collective consciousness of a group
reminiscing on past experiences and interactions, opening them to discover personal
potential. This process acts as a catalyst for an evaluation of the impact of change,
leading to new discoveries. In exploring composer s representations of discoveries,
individuals learn the symbiotic relationships of new insights and their intrinsic value.
Discoveries that are catalysed by unexpected an unprecedented human interaction, are
often the most powerful and lead to immense personal growth. Thus understanding
emerges through a range of dramatic forms and features within The Tempest, As the
title suggests the work revolves around an extended metaphor, partly concerned
with the forces of nature, evident from the very opening of the play as Prospero s
elaborate scheme to inflict vengeance on his usurpers in a manner much like the
chaotic nature of a storm or tempest. As such, Prospero s, lack of empathy and self
awareness is reflected
The Devil And Tom Walker Reflection
The Devil and Tom Walker was my favorite story to read because it was very
interesting and had some good lessons. Tom made a deal with the devil for all the
money in the world and sold his soul to the devil without knowing. Tom becomes
rich and successful but soon regrets his bargain because he is very alone and
unhappy. This was a pleasant read for me just because of the message portrayed
and the way the author made it interesting. The author attempted to convince us
that you can have all the money in the world and still be unhappy and have no one
there for you. I think the message of the story was successful and it really showed
me how money can be the root of all evil. The story showed how many people are in
this world. They are so focused

of Latin Jazz, combining the elements of African american culture with those of
Cuban culture (dictionary.com). The spirit of the music a true fusion between North,
South, and Central America and an emphasis on infectious rhythms are the keys

back to trumpeter arranger, Mario Bauza. Bauza introduced trumpeter, Dizzy

Basic Methods Of Access Control
Abstract
Physical security entails restricting physical access to controlled buildings,
installations, information, facilities, and personnel by unauthorized individuals.
Access control may prevent potential intruders, delay or frustrate intruders, and
monitor and detect intruders. These methods are classified under physical barriers,
perimeter security, identification systems, and electronic/mechanical barriers.
Different methods of access control can be designed to respond to different physical
security needs. However, it is worth to note that no stand alone method of access
control is effective and thus to improve effectiveness and performance, two or more
methods should be used in combination. This paper examines various methods of
access control and their effectiveness in relation to the physical security.
Introduction Controlling access is an important component of physical security to
protect assets and material resources. Making sure that only authorized vehicles,
items, and people enter and exit defined areas minimizes the risk of harm or loss to
all assets (Fennelly, 2012). Physical security entails security measures which are
tailored to deny an unauthorized access to material resources, such as buildings,
critical installations, personnel, and information from terrorism, espionage, and other
criminal activities. Physical protection of material resources is intended to prevent
potential intruders, detect intruders, and trigger apt incident
Relativism And Moral Absolutism
Moral Absolutism is concerned with right and wrong behavior. The absolute is what
controls whether the action or behavior is right or wrong. Therefore, from the
position of moral absolute, some things are always right and some things are always
wrong no matter how one try to rationalize them. Moral absolutism materializes from
a theistic worldview. Ethical Absolutists can condemn practices such as the Nazi
harassment of the Jews because Absolutist views give definite guidelines as to what
is right and wrong.
Moral Relativism is defined as the belief that conflicting moral beliefs are true. This
carries the impression that what you respect as a right behavior may be a right
conduct for you, but not for me. Moral Relativism is an attempt to ... Show more

Absolutists would have to condemn a mother who steals food for her starving
children because in their eyes all stealing is wrong, whereas Relativists can say
stealing is wrong usually but as the mother needed to feed her children, what she did
was right and should therefore not be condemned.
Absolutists can appear to be intolerant to views of others, for example, if they are
against cruelty of animals, they would be against the Islamic practice of sacrificing
lambs, but Relativists would be able to see the religious significance and the
importance of that practice to the Islamic community and will therefore not
condemn it. Moral Relativism is tempting as an easy choice. If someone says he or
she is a moral relativist about precise issues they perhaps have an underline principle
that is morally true everywhere and is not relative. However, trying to find those
underline principles is really hard.
The interesting logical discussion is between moral absolutism and moral nihilism.
However, morally this question is so hard that reasonably we may want to act like
moral agnostics. If we have this attitude a moral relativistic stance will probably be
the safest. If a whole group of people all think murder is fine and I think it s not,
then I ll give them the benefit of the doubt until I get really good evidence to the
Sam Patch The Famous Jumper Summary
Sam Patch: The Famous Jumper Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper, by Paul E.

Personal Response Essays

  • 1. Personal Response Essays Crafting a personal response essay can be both challenging and rewarding. The difficulty lies in the inherent subjectivity of the task – you are essentially delving into your own thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This self-reflective nature requires a delicate balance between introspection and effective communication. Firstly, the challenge arises from the need to articulate personal feelings and thoughts coherently. Expressing oneself in writing can be intricate, as finding the right words to convey nuanced emotions can be elusive. It demands a level of introspection that may make some uncomfortable, exposing vulnerabilities or uncertainties. Furthermore, personal response essays often require a fusion of personal experience and external references, adding another layer of complexity. The task is not merely to recount personal anecdotes but to engage critically with external stimuli, whether it be literature, art, or any other form of media. This demands a keen analytical mind, the ability to draw connections, and to weave together personal and external perspectives seamlessly. Moreover, striking the right balance between subjectivity and objectivity can be a tightrope walk. While the essay is a personal response, it still needs to be grounded in some universal truths or relatable aspects to resonate with a broader audience. Straying too far into subjectivity may result in a disconnected narrative that fails to engage the reader. In addition to these challenges, the very personal nature of the essay can also be a source of difficulty. Writers may grapple with the fear of being too revealing or worry about how their thoughts will be perceived by others. This self-consciousness can hinder the free flow of ideas and emotions, impeding the authenticity that makes personal response essays compelling. In conclusion, crafting a personal response essay is a multifaceted task that demands a delicate blend of introspection, critical thinking, and effective communication. It's an art that requires the writer to navigate the intricacies of self-expression while maintaining a connection with a broader audience. Despite the challenges, the process offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself. And for those seeking assistance with such essays or similar academic tasks, various resources are available, including online writing services. Platforms likeHelpWriting.net provide a range of writing services, offering support for various types of essays and academic assignments. Personal Response EssaysPersonal Response Essays

The neuroanatomical approach to aphasia relies on the localization of lesions on the brain in addition to clinical observation in order to classify patients according to syndromes. For example, according to the neuroanatomical approach, Broca s aphasia, which us usually associated with a lesions on the posterior inferior frontal gyrus of the brain, has cardinal features that distinguish is from other fluent and non fluent aphasias (e.g. poor repetition, poor repetition and poor naming with good auditory comprehension). Within this model, the general assessment process of an aphasic person consists of: (1) Gathering the client s case history (e.g. a car accident that results in an injury to the anterior superior frontal lobe (in the case of... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Further, different researchers and clinicians may classify patients differently as there as not clear cut boundaries which separate classifications. In addition, patients have good and bad days, such that a patient s performance on a particular day may be a cause for misclassification of aphasia. Furthermore, a patient can evolve from one classification to another during the course of recovery (e.g. from Broca s Aphasia to Anomic Aphasia). Also, there are varying degrees within a particular classification. For example, Patrick had mild Broca s aphasia, while some patients who have Broca s aphasia can barely speak at all (i.e. severe Broca s aphasia). Nevertheless, the classification system according to syndromes is useful when describing groups of people, rather than individuals, for example in research. However, it can also be valuable in clinical practice because it is an efficient way of best describing a person s aphasia profile. For example, in a clinical setting it may be useful to use a classification (e.g. Wernicke s aphasia), when talking to the client or the client s family. This is because it can give them a reasonable sense of what is happening to them without overwhelming them (although in most cases, it is still overwhelming), and because in many cases people and their families prefer to have an answer rather than not knowing what has happened. Additionally, it is possible that a person may fall into a particular

Interfaith Poultry Sociological Analysis Interfaith ministries and the issue of refugees: Monday 8, February 2016 by Katharine Shilcutt, Houston Chronicle The Interfaith Ministries faces the issue of refugees. Al Sudani, the supervisor of the refugee camps at interfaith ministries, helps to resettle 1500 refugees a year in Houston. Interfaith has helped 25 refugees who are as a result of the recent terrorist attack in Paris. In addition, it has been recognized as a haven for refugees since the 200,000 Vietnamese resettled here in 1970. The refugees in Houston face a hard time with limitations of food alongside luxurious life such as microwaves and TVs. As Shilcutt puts it, one item per family, one fork, and one spoon.

In Houston, there is a hospitable environment for refugees where there are, welcoming people, great economy, generous people and better employment. Interfaith took the news hard just like any refugee service would do to ensure Al Hadan was resettled. This shows they are concerned about other people s welfare. Interfaith Ministries believe in their country s tradition of welcoming families fleeing violence and persecution. Raequel Roberts asserts that our experience displays that the refugees are normal humans with abnormal circumstances. This is the key to overcoming fear. The challenge of long duration process of getting citizenship. This is depicted whereby the green card is applied within a year while the citizenship takes 5 years. This challenge should be curbed if only they protested for a faster procedure to acquire citizenships. It is only that a country shows its progress and beauty when it renders its people their rights and responsibilities whether natives or refugees. The hour long interviews and the vetting agencies should also be reinstated. However, the Interfaith Ministries has shown ethnicity in their tradition which has helped to brighten the refugees
  • 4. Make a Wall Hannah Slattery 4/8/14 Critical Thinking Make a Wall The topic to be discussed is about Border Patrolling. During the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Border Patrol and other federal agencies merged were called into a new U.S. Agency Customs and Border Protection. By tradition, the mission of U.S. Border Patrol has always been the protection and prevention of the illegal entry of aliens and smuggling of illegal contraband into the U.S. The federal agencies US Border Patrol is charged with the responsibility to protect the U.S. not because of the influx of immigrants into the country, also by the violence that has raged on the border with Mexico for drug trafficking and weapons.

Closing our borders in order to solve our problems and then be able to redo the border patrols infrastructure would be beneficial to both parties. So that instead of having the cross the border in shady manners they can find peace in knowing that when they come here they will be of value to their community and a part of this great nation. There are many stabs that can be taken at this stance the information that it was backed up with. By closing our borders we can also be then threatening the already fragile wall we have between them. Instead of letting people try and come through there will be riots and violent protests to get through. Mexico will probably shut down import and export relationships with our country because they will not agree that it is fair for us to receive its good but not it s people.The U.S will become a huge target for the world community and be threatened because it will be unethical and very unjustifiable to every other country.

  • 6. A Raisin In The Sun Racial Intolerance Essay A Raisin in the Sun highlights and develops themes of racial intolerance by focusing on three specific expository aspects: the era, ethnicity, and economic status. First of all, the story is set during the 1950 s in Chicago, where the common stereotype depicted African Americans as content, second class citizens. Contrary to this belief, however, many African Americans also chased the American dream, the widespread hope of being financially successful, just as the Youngers did. Yet, while some African Americans surrendered to conformity and assimilation, like George, to become successful, many focused on building from their roots, using pride and tradition to eventually achieve prosperity. Second of all, exposed to racismand prejudice for being African Americans, the Youngers often times find ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... After picking up a rotten apple, Mama asked one of the white employees if she could have a batch of fresh apples and he agreed. However, when a white woman asked the same question, the man gave her the apples instead of Mama. Disgusted, Mama walked out of the store, refusing to be treated like a second class citizen any longer. Though this was a short scene from the movie, it portrayed the daily intolerance of African Americans living in the United States and the actions taken, however miniscule, to prevent them from being treated as equals to white men. Third of all, we can observe how a low economic status further affects the treatment of African Americans by white people. When looking at the Youngers, we can specifically focus on Mr. Lindler and his offer to buy their house from them. Seeing that he wanted to keep a segregated neighborhood without any African Americans, he used money as a means of manipulation to get the Youngers to agree to his demands. In other words, he knew of their economic status and saw money as an easy method to ensure
  • 7. How The White Southern Identity In Bears Discover Fire, By... The American South is largely characterized as a backwards and antiquated place, fighting to keep a past way of life alive. While accurate at some level, the nuance of white Southern identity is sometimes lost in this portrayal. The culture is dynamic, shifting as new ideas compete with old ones. In his short story Bears Discover Fire , Terry Bisson not only examines how the South is caught between the past and the future, but also illustrates the ways in which progress (no matter how natural) can be unsettling if it appears to leave us behind. The story begins with a flat tire causing what you might call knowing groans (Bisson), instigating a lecture from the our narrator s brother that is clearly familiar to Bobby. The tension between...

As he begins to spend more time with the bears, watching their fires and seeing Little dramas...being played out as fiery chambers were created and then destroyed (Bisson), he grows more comfortable with them. This observation in particular, seeing fire as an agent of change, is indicative of how Bobby grows to see the bears evolution. He sits with them, sharing in their fire, and realizes that their spirits seem solitary (Bisson). Bobby sees them as individual beings, each with their own mind. Bisson frames the bears as usurpers, and perhaps as more than a metaphor for general change. In this context, the bears could be a stand in for any non White or non Southern group moving into and changing the South. This evolution of Bobby s view on change, and a group that seems threatening to an old way of life that had humanity as the sole fire bearers, alludes to one of the solutions for resistance to progress in the South: exposure. Bisson illustrates how real experience and connection with progress and diversity influences our worldview. In short, the bears aren t just bears; they are progress, change, and groups of

All too often there are times when I run out of chewing tobacco, and when I do I have another can ready to slide into the magical orifice of a pocket I have on my uniform. Days get busy, and there are times I run out of tobacco. This sets in motion a very inconvenient routine.

There are times all the other dippers are flying, have the day off, or are nowhere to be found, this is when I feel I have to take drastic action. After already wasting 15 minutes walking around, I find myself wasting an additional half an hour driving to the one convenient store that sells my preferred brand, Cope Straight.

  • 9. Analysis Of The Passionate Shepherd To His Love The Passionate Shepherd to His Love is a kind of peaceful sonnet made by Christopher Marlowe in the late sixteenth century. This sonnet involves shepherds and nation life. This sonnet was composed in a shepherd s field or settings. The data given is about the speaker who is a shepherd and thinks hopefully and impractically. Before Christopher Marlowecould print his work he had begun accepting different reactions about and towards his work., One such reaction was composed by Sir Walter Raleighin his lyric The Nymph s Reply to the Shepherd which was an immediate reaction to The Passionate shepherd to His Loveby Christopher Marlowe. Marlowe does not put much accentuation much on the character or setting yet more on the claim that the shepherd is endeavoring to make to the young lady. The exceptional topic of this work is of joy and optimistic love (Raleigh 4). Carpe Diem was an acknowledged topic in sonnets of this period, and this portrays as a topic. The speaker asserts his adoration to live with him and advantage from the fulfillments of the day. Looking carefully on both lyrics, one understands that the game plan of these two sonnets is a similar where both have six stanzas involving four lines each. In quatrains, both comprise of four measures for every line with two syllables in each measure as the shepherd urges his adored to attempt the delights of nature. In his reaction, Sir Walter Raleigh composes utilizing the young lady as the speaker, offering an

Currently, they are the best earning top innovators and major rivals in the market, and their products are globally most utilized. This paper evaluates similarities and differences between Microsoft and Apple by exploring their structure, products, and overall success. Apple Company tends to emphasize on its efforts concerning design and manufacture of the consumer electronics, such as personal computers, mobile phones, and related software products (Arthur, 2012). Microsoft appears to have adopted the above aspect, when they started producing their own Microsoft phone products. The co founders of both Microsoft and Apple are recognized as being the driving force behind the brands. Bill Gates is famous for accomplishing most of his dream of placing a computer in every home and on every desk in addition to his philanthropic work through Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. On the other hand, the late Steve Jobs, the co founder of Apple, appeared to be an innovative genius and an iconoclast.

However, Apple seems to have the upper hand by having over 200

  • 12. The Main Characters In Henry James s Daisy Miller In Henry James s Daisy Miller, the main character Frederick Winterbourne masks Daisy Miller s personality with his own imagination. Told from a limited narration point of view, this novel solely emphasizes Mr. Winterbourne s perception of the world around him, focusing most on Ms. Daisy s character. Mr. Winterbourne aims to unravel Ms. Miller s charactermake up throughout chapter one, using only his and his aunt s preconceived notions of women in American society. By being too introspective and imaginative, Mr. Winterbourne is unable to see Ms. Miller as anything more but a conquest, and therefore he is unable to empathize with her as another human being. When Mr. Winterbourne first notices Ms. Miller, he fixates on her prettiness and refuses to stray from his surface level admiration, even after inquiring about her. The narrator, embodying Mr. Winterbourne s thoughts, repeats pretty American girl, constantly, revealing Mr. Winterbourne s reasoning for becoming captivated by her to begin with. Mr. Winterbourne s fixation on Ms. Miller being a pretty girl depicts how he is captivated by the alluring nature of her beauty, considering she had done nothing at first to captivate him with her speech or her personality. He builds the foundation of his relationship with her on physical attributes, expecting her personality to follow his preconceived mental sculpture of how a young, pretty American woman is supposed to act. After being captivated by her prettiness, Mr.

  • 14. The Boston Massacre The Boston Massacre is considered by many historians to be the first battle of the Revolutionary War. The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre resulted in the death of five colonists. British troops in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were there to stop demonstrations against the Townshend Acts and keep order, but instead they provoked outrage. The British soldiers and citizens brawled in streets and fought in bars. The citizens viewed the British soldiers as potential oppressors, competitors for jobs, and a treat to social mores . A defiant anti British fever was lingering among the townspeople. There are three major things that led to the Boston Massacre: First was the growing mistrust among the British soldiers and Americans. There were a number of other incidents were the British clashed with the patriots and their supporters. Individual soldiers were beaten on street corners and soldiers abused unarmed civilians. In all the Americans in Boston made it clear that the British soldiers were unwanted. The second reason is somewhat odd. The removal of two out of four regiments meant there were to inadequate amounts of soldiers to keep the peace. There were enough on the other hand to remind the patriots of the great British military. The last reason would be the revolt of the Townshend Acts. The patriots and Americans did not agree and strife with the British soldiers over it. The Act built tension between the two. On March 5, 1770 the dreadful day came. A

It is shown that Hilton is not harmed by the burger that contains high levels of fats and sodium and she is still able to consume and enjoy the foodwithout the fear of gaining weight.

  • 17. Forgiveness In The Crucifixion The York Mystery Plays portray the death of Jesus Christ as the climatic event in biblical history that authorizes humankind to acquire religious salvation by repenting for sinful conduct. The dramatists use the abstract concept of forgiveness to reveal the spiritual consolation that followers of Christianity receive from Christ s sacrifice. In The Crucifixion, the execution of Christ gives mortals the intellectual capacity to identify sin and obtain forgiveness. The dramatists portray humanity as a vile species that is ignorant of its sinful disposition by characterizing the soldiers who assemble the cross as apathetic servants of their king. A soldier declares his ignorance of his immorality when he states I will go say to our sovereigns of all these works how we have wrought (216). He is committing a sin by facilitating the Crucifixion, however, his behavior becomes justifiable because he is demonstrating obedience to his king. The soldiers loyalty to the unethical sovereign introduces a necessity for humanity to worship a doctrine that promotes morality, which Christ s ministry accomplishes by describing sinful conduct. Christ recognizes his death as an incident that will promote morality and forgiveness when he states My father... Forgive these men that do me pine. What they work, wot they not (220). The citizens are unaware of their immorality because the occurrence of Christ s death that establishes the fundamental principles of Christianity has not happened. Christ offers the citizens justification for their behavior because he perceives humanity as ignorant of their sins without his sacrifice. The death of Christ establishes a necessity for individuals to follow the doctrine of Christianity to have the intellectual capacity to identify sinful behavior, and proceed to request God s forgiveness to acquire salvation. In The Death of Christ, forgiveness allows mortals to reconcile with their sins by establishing repentance as the expression that leads to salvation. The play s stage setting conveys the Christian principle that all sins are equal in the perception of God by aligning two individuals liable of theft with Christ s accusation of treason.

  • 18. Evaluation Of The Wheaton Sanitary District The Wheaton Sanitary District is already using a state of the art monitoring system to track status and record the measurement of the key plant operational equipment. The Supervisory Control and Data Access (SCADA) system interfaced with the plant equipment provides, the operation team, a real time data on the key components of the plant s equipment. SCADA allows operational team to open, close or adjust equipment parameters to archive maximum efficiency to meet the peak demand. According to Russell and Taylor (2014), the size and complexity of the problem makes the decision making often difficult. Further, the flow is controlled by a bottleneck, so any resource should spend no time on non productive activities, but must have material to work on to overcome the theory of constrain and the focus should be of automation efforts. SCADA does allow automation and the data collected from SCADA helps aeration optimization for scheduling which will ultimately reflect any capacity limitations. The new high energy turbo blowers save 30% energy to mix and aerate the tanks (Poole, Neighbors, Green, Baert, Sosnowski, and Wold, 2012) and the control flow provides additional saving with no additional capital cost. The real time monitoring and the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) measuring in the aeration tanks allows a development of a new plant control strategies to optimize the system performance thus consuming less power.

  • 19. How Cooperative Learning Impacts Higher Order And Critical... The challenge this researcher faces lies in the structure of a particular Accelerated Math II (10th Grade) curriculum at Lucy C. Laney High School in Augusta, Georgia, in which all students enrolled in the course have to be proficient in all areas of the curriculum. The researcher has observed very little higher order/critical thinking and problem solving and low motivation/morale which may impact student performance in the math course. After a year of intense coursework, including real world application practice, and many short answer and multiple choice assessments, students show minimum performance on an accelerated curriculum provided to them. This challenges the instructional efforts of the teacher to increase the performance and promote higher order thinking in the math class. Therefore the purpose for this study is to determine if cooperative learning impacts higher order /critical thinking skills and student achievement. Review of the Literature Cooperative learning is one of the best studied academic strategies in the history of educational research, with over 1,000 research studies on the subject dating as far back as 1898 (Stanne, Johnson Johnson, 1999). There are so many studies, in fact, that the most easily to get to point of entry into the literature is meta analyses of large numbers of studies. The most important piece of information is that cooperative learning models have been established to have an obviously positive impact on student achievement.

Massey Public Administration 13 December 2011 Administrative Discretion Administrative discretion is a discretionary action is informal and, therefore, unprotected by the safeguards inherent in formal procedure. A public official, for example, has administrative discretion when he or she has the freedom to make a choice among potential courses of action. Abuse of Discretion is the failure to exercise reasonable judgment or discretion. It might provide a Cause of Action for an unconstitutional invasion of rights protected by the due process clause of the Constitution (West s Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2.

This is where administrative discretion can go wrong because it can be bias for personal reasons, sexual reasons, anything. My question would be what it the faculty members were having their own personal issues and they could not separate work from home and the allowed there personal issues control the decisions of the students punishments that could probably effect the rest of their lives. Another factor of a disadvantage is the sex linked method the female faculty member may have been an emotional to her decision with the students if they were crying or had a compelling story of how they would act out oppose to the male faculty member who was demanding as far as being a disciplinarian. Then we also have to take into consideration age and race could have played a factor for the faculty in this case. The female had to deal with she was younger so she may have related to the students as well as being African American which did honestly play a part back in that time even current statics dated in 2010 showed that African Americans were only 9% of the teacher population within the whole nation.. In conclusion, administrative discretion has its good points and bad. I do not think that all government power should have the discretion. As the people of the United States, we should take a moral and value poll towards the administrators within our government, or like a genuine lie detector

Essay on Henry David Thoreau s Integrity Henry David Thoreau s Integrity Although his actions were admirable and act as evidence to integrity, the writings of Henry David Thoreau and Emerson reveal a haughty and pretentious individual. Thoreau s courage was noble. He was quick to immerse himself in his beliefs and abandon any obligation to social norms despite the risk in damaging his reputation. His rejection of societal limitations and steadfast individualism was truly commendable, however, his mannerisms were extremely rude. He cast aside all tact and consideration of others because he was so consumed with himself. He coldly and fully stated his opinion without affecting to believe that it was the opinion of the company. It was of no consequence, if every one present ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This can be deduced as being pompous and stubborn or generous and independent. He was self sufficient but this strength can be somewhat aggravating. Thoreau felt so superior to his peers that he denied any aid in order to maintain his aloof character. That way, he never owed his accomplishments to anybody. There was nobody to be thankful for. He seldom thanked colleges for their service to him, holding them in small esteem, whilst yet his debt to them was important. (p. 1235) Every success was attributed to solely his own achievements and never that of another institution. In that same realm, Thoreau keeps a distance with the reader and speaks with a holier than thou air. He is consumed with his experiences and idolizes himself because he allows no respect for the rest of society. He treats himself as royalty in that no other individual could compare to his triumphs. Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his labor would be depreciated in the market. He has no time to be any thing but a machine. (p. 1809) He is denouncing the average working man and offending the majority of humanity. When describing Walden, Thoreau constantly makes references to celestial beings and persons of royal

Yet, lifting millions of Ethiopians out of poverty requires transformation from centuries old subsistence agriculture to dynamic, technology driven market oriented production. This can only happen if the market itself functions in such a way as to serve the needs of all concerned stakeholder of the market. Ethiopian coffee marketing system is also on age old tradition. To date, coffee markets have been characterized by high cost and high risks of transacting, forcing much of Ethiopia into global isolation. Coffee trading is done on the basis of auction system which backed by poor technology and clearing and payment system which drives up the processing and marketing cost and these leads to high consumer price this forcing coffee exporter to be powerless into global market.

  • 28. Sales Promotion Tools Are The Lifeblood Of Marketing Products Sales promotion tools are the lifeblood of marketing products/services to consumers. Without them, people would not be as likely to purchase every new fad that comes their way, and corporations would be wasting their money on products people were nervous to buy. For example, if you were used to using one particular type of cat food because you know your cat enjoys eating it, how likely would you be to switch the food? Probably not very likely, due to the fact that you had already looked at the nutrition facts, the price, and the seafood taste that cats are sure to love. Now, what if you received a ten dollar off coupon (for cat food that only costs twelve dollars). What would you do? Would you reconsider the food you were going to buy that week because of this coupon? Maybe the new food is just as good now that you are really thinking about it, and it only is going to cost a total of two dollars, so no harm done if you go ahead and make the purchase. This is exactly what a good salespromotion does to consumers, it makes them take a second look at their buying choices, and hopefully convinces them that it would be a good idea to try their product. I live in the United States, and the three most heavily used sales promotions are contests, loyalty programs, and sponsorships. Who doesn t love a chance to win something free I know I do! Contests give you a chance to win a product that you would like to have, but possibly cannot afford, or you just like the idea of

All educational policies, says the Framework, should stipulate that disabled children attend the neighbourhood school, that would be attended if the child did not have a disability. (UNESCO, 1994., p.24) There is seemingly little doubt that the catalyst for inclusion within the English system lies in the sentiments outlined in the Salamanca Statement. As Hornby, (2002)., asserts, The statement has resulted in what, at times, appears to be a tidal wave of inclusion intent preached with overpowering zeal by the church of inclusion. (p.7) It is observable, though, that despite this missionary zeal the implementation of inclusionary practices, within the English system, began slowly. Although some might argue that the last Conservative government, through the Code of Practice (DFE, 1994), encouraged children with special educational needs to join fully with their peers in the curriculum and the life of the setting (p.11), others contended that: the code only addressed identification and standardisation in an attempt to end the vagueness of special educational needs, previously delivered through a postcode lottery of provision.

Students learn about the first Thanksgiving in elementary, but not about the massacres that were before and after. Students don t hear about how the English settlers came in to claim land that was not theirs.

I have constantly been asked by Friends and family why is it that I want to get a bachelor s degree in Criminal Justice and what are my future plans once I graduate from San Diego State. Even though there are many reasons why I want to get a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice I always reply with my desire to go into a law enforcement field and start as a police officer and end up working as an Investigator for the District Attorney s office. This might be a long term goal but hopefully with a combination of my education, hard work, professionalism and aspiration to serve my community I will achieve it. One of the main experiences that got me interested in pursuing a law enforcement career happened throughout my childhood. Born and raised in Mexico City why did I end up living in San Diego?

In this chapter, the Jones family lived in luxurious castle with butlers and servants unlike previous chapters where Sinclair described the struggles of the factory workers. 3. Many critics believe this scene is written to delight Sinclair s socialist friends. At the time it was written, readers would have easily recognized that the butler is named after Alexander Hamilton, who was Secretary of the Treasury, and that the dog is named after Admiral Dewey, who fought in the Spanish American War. Sinclair and the other socialists would have considered these two men to be perpetrators of the capitalist system, and ridiculing them in this scene would have been very amusing.

In Catch 22, Joseph Heller demonstrates the catch that is Catch 22 by creating a satirical comedy of one of the worst times in the history of man and tormenting Yossarian with the unfair life problems of a bomber pilot that are out of his hands to decide, leaving him to fend for himself amongst the sea of dangers awaiting to take his life (and others) until finally he sees freedom and escapes from his officers and very angry whore. Yossarianhas avoided his missions for as long as he could in the confines of war. He is found first in a hospital pretending to have a liver disease and having symptoms related to this illness. He naturally runs a slightly elevated temperature, making his story somewhat more believable to the displeased nurses who have to take care of his every day. However, being in the hospital with no entertainment can be catastrophic to one s mind. To solve this dilemma, Yossarian, in charge of censoring the letters, began a war with words. He would remove subjects, verbs, adverbs, and other important elements of the letters; he even added the name Washington Irving and Irving Washington. This would have caused chaos for families back home who want to speak to their loved ones. Most of the times, there are only a couple of words left and not even their loved one s name on the letters. It would be easy to think that this is a casual, forgettable

General Concept Of Security Communities General concept of security communities In accordance to the global political theory, the idea of forming a security community was initially established by Deutsch in 1957, with the dominant purpose of promoting a sense of community that believes in the concept of peaceful change . In a further elaboration, the emergence of such communities have integrated individuals in a group, allowing social problems to be resolved effectively in a peaceful manner via institutionalized procedures, without the reliance and usage of physical forces. Security communities have been classified into two basic types, an amalgamated and pluralist form. In an amalgamated community, there would be two or more independent political states merged and form one large unit that is in charged and governed by only one common government, such as the USA. On the other hand, under the pluralistic form of security community, state members are also came together for negotiation and discussion over political issues, but formally retaining under a sovereign government, for example, the EU (European Union), the Canada US and Mexico, and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations). Base on early postwar researches and analysis, pluralistic communities have been extremely vigorous and success as the process of formation is considered to be simpler in attaining and preserving than their counterparts.

Mr. Deng understood that China required Western technology, innovation and investment, therefore he opened the path for outside organisations who needed to set up in China (News.bbc.co.uk, n.d.). At first, four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were farmed in South China with tax incentives to draw in outside speculation into the nation. As the nation is a developing economy, the government has to play a critical role to guide and control the nation (Nove and Gerschenkron, 1963). For instance, the part of government in enhancing general financial and social welfare ought not be expelled or belittled, even in developed, mature economies (Reich, 1989). Developing markets are countries that are investing in more productive capacity. They are moving far from their conventional economies that have depended on agribusiness and the export of raw materials. Leaders of developing countries want to create a better quality of life for the citizens. Subsequently, they are rapidly industrialising and embracing a free market or mixed economy (Amadeo, 2016). Developing economies frequently seek to restructure their economies along market oriented lines and offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology transfers, and FDI (Heakal, 2015).

Licking is part of a dog s life but when excessive this could trigger other issues. In order for us to understand this behavior we will list a number of reasons why dogs do this: 1) Affection Dogs will mostly lick us to show affection and apparently due to the fact that they also like our salty ski.

Puppies will lick their mother s lips to express hunger. On other hand wild dogs who hang around in packs may lick the pack leader as a sign of begging for food. 8) Submission Licking can also be a sign of submission this is because dogs have social orders. An example is a dog higher in the chain maybe greeted by one lower in chain by being licked on the mouth.

Identifying someone at work or in a social situation who appears to be behaving abnormally is easier to spot than it is to define the term abnormal behavior. No matter what the definition of abnormal the different perspectives each present a theory concerning its cause.

Basically Erikson theorized that individuals pass through eight stages of development. Each stage of development involves two opposing powers, or contrary dispositions; Erikson named these opposing powers syntonic and dystonic. An individual, Erikson theorized, must successfully pass from one stage of development to the next in order to maintain a healthy balance. As an example, the first stage of development lists the syntonic as trust vs. the dystonic of mistrust. An individual who does not successfully pass through stage on may develop a mistrust that lasts a lifetime. The unsuccessful mastery of any of the eight stages of development could cause an individual to develop abnormally, thereby demonstrating what society terms abnormal behavior. Biological/Medical The biological/medical perspective refers to a malfunction in the brain that is the primary cause for abnormal behavior. This malfunctioning of the brain could be due to the physical structure of the brain itself or abnormal biochemical functioning (Hansell Damour, 2008).

  • 48. The Nature Of Discovery In The Virgin Suicides By Sofia... Discovery is often provoked when the actions of others act as a catalyst, often stimulating personal growth. However, the ramifications are dependent on individual perceptions and the unique context they bring to the process. These ideas are amplified by Shakespeare s Jacobean romance The Tempest, with its array of characters who dramatise this instability through diverse human responses contrasting to the antagonizing nature of discovery. 1999 American drama film, The Virgin Suicidesby Sofia Coppola, reflects the collective consciousness of a group reminiscing on past experiences and interactions, opening them to discover personal potential. This process acts as a catalyst for an evaluation of the impact of change, leading to new discoveries. In exploring composer s representations of discoveries, individuals learn the symbiotic relationships of new insights and their intrinsic value. Discoveries that are catalysed by unexpected an unprecedented human interaction, are often the most powerful and lead to immense personal growth. Thus understanding emerges through a range of dramatic forms and features within The Tempest, As the title suggests the work revolves around an extended metaphor, partly concerned with the forces of nature, evident from the very opening of the play as Prospero s elaborate scheme to inflict vengeance on his usurpers in a manner much like the chaotic nature of a storm or tempest. As such, Prospero s, lack of empathy and self awareness is reflected

  • 51. Basic Methods Of Access Control Abstract Physical security entails restricting physical access to controlled buildings, installations, information, facilities, and personnel by unauthorized individuals. Access control may prevent potential intruders, delay or frustrate intruders, and monitor and detect intruders. These methods are classified under physical barriers, perimeter security, identification systems, and electronic/mechanical barriers. Different methods of access control can be designed to respond to different physical security needs. However, it is worth to note that no stand alone method of access control is effective and thus to improve effectiveness and performance, two or more methods should be used in combination. This paper examines various methods of access control and their effectiveness in relation to the physical security. Introduction Controlling access is an important component of physical security to protect assets and material resources. Making sure that only authorized vehicles, items, and people enter and exit defined areas minimizes the risk of harm or loss to all assets (Fennelly, 2012). Physical security entails security measures which are tailored to deny an unauthorized access to material resources, such as buildings, critical installations, personnel, and information from terrorism, espionage, and other criminal activities. Physical protection of material resources is intended to prevent potential intruders, detect intruders, and trigger apt incident

Moral absolutism materializes from a theistic worldview. Ethical Absolutists can condemn practices such as the Nazi harassment of the Jews because Absolutist views give definite guidelines as to what is right and wrong.

Absolutists would have to condemn a mother who steals food for her starving children because in their eyes all stealing is wrong, whereas Relativists can say stealing is wrong usually but as the mother needed to feed her children, what she did was right and should therefore not be condemned. Absolutists can appear to be intolerant to views of others, for example, if they are against cruelty of animals, they would be against the Islamic practice of sacrificing lambs, but Relativists would be able to see the religious significance and the importance of that practice to the Islamic community and will therefore not condemn it. Moral Relativism is tempting as an easy choice. If someone says he or she is a moral relativist about precise issues they perhaps have an underline principle that is morally true everywhere and is not relative. However, trying to find those underline principles is really hard. The interesting logical discussion is between moral absolutism and moral nihilism.
