In this essay, iВґm gonna talk about the American Revolution, French Revolution,
and Latin America. These colonies have very similar things in common like how they
all want freedom in their country, and how powerful their governments are. These
different revolutions are very poor and wealthy why they have conflicts with their
governments, religions, and how they use their agriculture. example, in 1770 there
was the boston massacure, 1773 was the boston tea party.
Firstly, The American Revolutionstarted from 1770 1789. The french were

France was the cultural capital of europe, home to numerous enlightenment thinkers
and had wealth from colonies. King Louis XIV was the most powerful king in
europe. After his death in 1715 louis continued to rule france as an absolute
monnarch. France had an unequal social hierarachy that was made up of three
classes. They had social tensions were made worse by growing financhil crisis in
the 1770s and 1780s there the french government faced massive debts due to
decades of lavis spanding, explocive wars and poor economic planning and crisis,

france but paid little in taxes to government. After the sucess of the american

3. Theme Of Empathy And Animals In Life Of Pi
Empathy and Animals in Life of Pi and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The theme of empathy manifests both in Philip K. Dick s Do Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep? and in Yan Martel s Life of Pi, lending animals a central role within
the narratives that raise metaphysical issues and questions of what is human. Despite
belonging to different genres, they touch upon similar issues, and both encompass the
process their main character experiences in which its viewpoint alters as its sense of
empathy changes. In Life of Pi, Pi begins as a vegetarian who holds strong beliefs on
compassion towards animals and all creatures on earth, but is forced by necessities
to forsake this lifestyle while living 227 days at sea in a boat populated by other
beings (animals, or humans in each version). Rick Deckard, too, begins as
presumably possessing empathy towards animals, though not towards the other
entities within his world androids. Although at the novel s outset Deckard s vocation
is to exterminate androids, and he advances his quest to earn enough money to fulfill
the social expectations on which his world rests, celebrating empathy towards
animals by owning them, as the narrative unfolds his ... Show more content on

4. Changes in Policy after School Shootings
Policies have changed since the shooting happened in Littleton, Colorado. Before
Columbine the primary goal of law enforcement officers before and during a
shooting was to set up a perimeter and await arrival of SWAT members (Erickson,
2001). This policy has changed in many states including Pennsylvania where police
had been preparing for active shooters with local schools. Police are not able to wait
the twenty minutes to an hour for SWAT to arrive at a scene which is why the state
mandated that local police receive active shooting training (Coughlin, 2012). This
response and a brochure that the Department of Homeland Security came out with
are allowing schools a better chance of eliminating a shooter with less causalities and
injuries. This brochure goes into to profile of an active shooter, how to respond to an
active shooter, how to respond when law enforcement arrives, training staff for an
active shooter, preparing for and managing an active shooter situation, recognizing
workplace violence, managing the consequences of an active shooter, and lessons
learned (DHS, 2008). Recommendations were made following the shooting to
implement a command center with personnel able to take command at the beginning
of a crisis, control assembled personnel, and to communicate objectives clearly
(Erickson, 2001). This came after the failure of law enforcement to set up a successful
command center whereas Fire and EMS successfully instituted an incident command
center based on

reason why the title to this painting is Perseus and Andromeda is because it was

Only research will tell, since nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to
develop knowledge about issues of importance to nurses, including nursing practice,
nursing education, and nursing administration (Polit Beck, 2006, p. 4).
Problem Statement Hyperglycemia (typically defined as a blood glucose of 200 mg
/dL) is a well known phenomenon in critically ill patients without a prior history of
diabetes mellitus (Langdon Shriver, 2004, p. 163). While many studies have been
completed with respect to management of hyperglycemia in diabetic surgical patients,
there has been minimal research regarding the impact that tight glycemic control has
on non diabetic trauma and medical patients. With managed care requiring decreases
in length of hospitalization and hospitals attempting to conserve cost expenditure,
placing non diabetic patients on insulin drips immediately upon entry into the health
care system may adversely affect both of these areas. Trauma patients without a
diagnosis of diabetes mellitus will require prolonged lengths of stay in the intensive
care unit related to the fact that they must have closely monitored blood glucose
levels. In addition to the increased duration of their intensive care unit admission,
they are subjected to administration of medications they would not normally take at
home. Furthermore, this patient population has
9. Operant Conditioning by B. F Skinner
Introduction People do on a day to day basis, many actions without realizing it, and
most of the time, they don t know why they do them. Certain reinforcements, some
positive, and some negative have conditioned their actions and thoughts. In this essay,
I chose Burrhus Frederic Skinner who came up with the theory of operant
conditioning. B. F. skinner,(March 20, 1904 August 18, 1990) is an American
psychologist who believed that we do have such a thing as a mind, but that it is
simply more productive to study observable behavior rather than internal mental
events. As Skinner s theory was based on the earlier work of Thorndike, he also
believed that the best way to understand a behavior is to look at the causes of the...

For example he studies the behavior of rats under carefully controlled laboratory
conditions.
Skinner Box Skinner illustrated positive reinforcement by placing a hungry rat in
his Skinner box (Appendix 2). The box contained a lever in the side and as the rat
moved about the box it would accidentally knock the lever. As the lever move, a
food pellet would drop into a container next to the lever. The rats quickly learned to
go straight to the lever after a few times of being put in the box. The consequence
of receiving food if they pressed the lever ensured that they would repeat the action
again and again. Skinner illustrated negative reinforcement by placing a rat in his
Skinner box and then subjecting it to an unpleasant electric current which caused it
some discomfort. As the rat moved about the box it would accidentally knock into
the lever. Immediately as it did so, the electric current would be switched off. The
rats quickly learned to go straight to the lever after a few times of being put in the
box. The consequence of escaping the electric current ensured that they would repeat
the action again and again.
Human and animals are not alike Based on the Skinner box, we are able to
conclude that Skinner actually conducts and derived his theories from rats and other
animals such as pigeon. The experiment on pigeon was referred to as the
Superstition in Pigeon in which a pigeon was kept in a cage and at regular

generally involving people under the age of eighteen. John Singletons, Boyz n the

teenagers growing up in Los Angeles where these children are constantly exposed to
violence. At the beginning of the film, Tre is seen with a group of his friends talking
about the shooting that occurred in the neighborhood that previous night and they
even went as far as crossing the police like to get closer to the crimescreen. For their
age at the time, they were very educated about violence. When they go to school,
Tre is seen talking to his teacher by using inappropriate language that is very
disrespectful to her. While in class, Tre makes a statement about Africa and one
students disagrees with him so Tre begins to get violent both physically and verbally
attacking the student. At this point Tre is living with his mother, but due to the
flight in the classroom, and breaking a contract that he had with his mother to
behave, Tre is off to live with his father. Tre s father is Furious Styles, also referred
to as Laurence Fishburne, whose job is to teach Tre values and responsibility.

12. Social Intelligence and Employment Success
SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMPLOYMENT SUCCESS
The crux of employment success is social intelligence. For years, individuals have
been judged by various aptitude tests (i.e. I.Q. test, SAT, LSAT, GRE, MCAT,
GMAT). However, individually, those tests are not the best indicators of who will be
successful. Recent studies show that success is largely attributed to social
intelligence. Social intelligence is equivalent to interpersonal intelligence and
involves perceptiveness, situational savvy, and interactional skill. Social intelligence
is understanding and acting in accordance with social situations and environments to
obtain cooperation, objectives, and achieve results.
In employment fields like law and business, social intelligence is one of ... Show

Being self centered or preoccupied with ones own feelings, needs, and interests and
not open to those of others, will hamper situational awareness.
Presence incorporates a range of verbal and nonverbal patterns, such as physical
appearance, body language, mood, demeanor, voice quality, and subtle movements.
It involves the way those factors/signals affect people s evaluative impressions or
opinions of us. Presence requires that we pay special attention to the manner and
way in which we communicate, as it is also the way we convey our sense of self.
Authenticity, Clarity, Empathy
Authenticity regards the social radars of others, and what signals they identify in
judging you as being honest, open, ethical, trustworthy, and well intentioned.
Authenticity is fundamental to developing rapport and people s perspective of you. It
requires that you constantly assess your actions, and whether people will interpret
you as being authentic.
Clarity is the ability to explain oneself, illuminate ideas, articulate views, proposed
courses of action, and pass data clearly and accurately. Clarity is fundamental to
effective communication and cooperation. It requires being an active and attentive
listener so one can adequately and effectively respond to an individual or group.
Empathy, in the context of social intelligence, goes beyond its plain definition. It
entails having the ability to

(Newton, Larkin, Melhuish, Wykes, 2007) aims to elicit the positive and negative
aspects of group CBT treatment by listening to the perspectives of young people
undergoing such treatment. The second study (Penn et al. 2009) seeks to evaluate the
effectiveness of group CBT for auditory hallucinations compared to an active control
group of enhanced supportive therapy (ST).
For the first study eight participants aged 17 18 years old who had attended every
session of the 7 week group CBT programme were interviewed. In the second study

Enhanced ST impacted more specifically on auditory hallucinations, and CBT
impacted on general psychotic symptoms.
Background to the Study
Auditory hallucinations can contribute to a range of secondary psychopathologies
including depression (e.g. Escher, Delespaul, Romme, Buiks, Van Os, 2003).
Interventions are primarily pharmacological (Lehman et al. 2004) however adverse
side effects and high rates of non compliance have prompted the emergence of
alternative treatments such as individual CBT. This has proven effective in the
treatment of symptoms of schizophrenia (Wykes, Steel, Everitt, Tarrier, 2008). Group
CBT interventions has been developed to improve accessibility of treatment and has
incorporated psychological models of auditory hallucinations and psychosis
(Morrison, 1998) by including psychoeducation, coping strategy enhancement and
cognitive behavioural formulation as well as psychosocial techniques (Chadwick
Birchwood, 1996).
Early intervention services have relied on research with adult participants as young
people who are at risk are often not diagnosed and are excluded from research
(Addington Mancusco 2009). The first study seeks to conduct research with young
people to inform clinical practice. Recruitment to the first study took the form of the
Symptom Approach as advocated by Bentall (1990) who criticises Diagnosis led
research which seeks to find homogeneous interventions for heterogeneous
schizophrenia groups. The aims of the
14. Theme Of Revenge In Hamlet
It is possible to discern revenge as a concept within William Shakespeare s Hamlet
by acknowledging the play as a part of a genre. That is, the genre of revenge
tragedies commonly played as a tragedy whose leading motive is revenge and whose
main action deals with the progress of this revenge, leading to the death of the
murderers and often the death of the avenger himself. (Ashley H. Thorndike, 1902)
Hamletalthough fundamentally a revenge tragedy can be considered as a slight
deviation of the genre, breaking many of the rudimentary rules. Shakespeare in
response to this sets the focal point away from the action of avenging and more
towards the destructive and poisonous effects of revenge itself, symbolising the evils
of conforming to such a bestial standard.
There is a complicated representation of law within the essence of revenge tragedies.
This representation manifests itself in everything from the distorted interpretation of
evidence to the more explicate corruption of justice. The play is set in a situation
where the rule of law is weak, and revenge is deemed as the only way to obtain
justice. Without significant recognition of the social and political context in which
early revenge tragedies were written, Hamlet differs in the sense that it displays less
engagement with the idea of correcting injustice but with Hamlet s deep personal
struggle with achieving vengeance. In saying that, the tragedy of the situation
denotes from Hamlet s psychological nature
15. How Does Shakespeare Present Power In Macbeth
Shakespeare s Macbeth is an exceptional representation of tragedy and power in
Elizabethan times, and displays various ways in which he ensures that the audience
connects with the play. This includes may include soliloquies, in which the character
openly expresses their thoughts, which significantly appeals with the audience.
Metaphors can also exaggerate a scene to make the playenjoyable for the audience, as
they evoke setting and describe characters. The specific characterisation that
Shakespeare uses also interests the audience, and he also links the play back to the
Elizabethan context. He discusses a variety of complex issues that are explored in the
play, which can engage the audience, and makes them ponder about the consequences
of the character s actions.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For example, the Great Chain of Being is explored when Macbeth decides to commit
regicide, and results in the downfall of Macbeth, leading to the later restoration of
order. This connects to the Great Chain of Being and Natural Order as it starts
with someone upsetting the chain, and the restoration of order occurs only at the
end when the legitimate successor (for example in this play it is Malcolm) who
takes the crown. The Divine Right of Kings said that monarchs were God s
appointed representatives on earth, so rebellion wasn t just treason it would send
Macbeth straight to hell, which shows that Macbeth was meddling with power he
should have left alone. Moreover, the addition of the witches prophecies display
supernatural power that has the ability to foreshadow the rest of the play. These
concepts and significant ways all lead to the audience being engaged in the play,
which was the primary focus of Shakespeare s play,

The text is brief, however; its very essence is considerable important. Clement
(c.150 c.215) succinctly y sets out the fundamental principle that there are four
senses (or meanings) of Scriptures. Clement call these senses Quadriga , which
indicates, the literal sense of Scripture and three nonliteral senses, in the following
form: (1) the literal sense (2) the allegorical sense, which conveys something to be
believed (3) the moral (or tropological) sense, which conveys something which is to
be done (4) The anagogical sense, which conveys something which is to be hoped
for. Origen on the Three Ways of Reading Scripture describes the imagery meaning
of the body, soul, and spirit. Origen states just as human being consist of body, soul,
and spirit, so also does the Scriptures, which is the gift of God designed for human
salvation. Martin Luther on the Fourfold Sense of Scripture is parallel to Clement s

Rebel Recycling is foundational with the Three R aspects to build up their duties:
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (University of Nevada, Las Vegas [UNLV], 2015).
Rebel Recycling was founded by a UNLV student in 1995, where it started as a
class project. However the program converted into an organization, with the
approval of the Boards of Regents, that it would be a worth to keep. Subsequently,
the first year resulted in a saving of recyclable materials of around two to three tons
each week; but ever since the third year, the numbers grew of recycling around
three to four tons of materials each day. Hence, this organization s achievement
rewarded them with becoming noticed as part of the Custodial Department at
UNLV. Even nowadays, the Rebel Recycling organization works to save energy
and water, be a steward model and supports Nevada s recycling projects. They have
also laid out their mission where they long to be an exquisite source of recycling
and to administer Nevada s environment. To become a leading group, they have
participated events to support, not only Nevada s but a nationwide charity for the
earth and our people. They are well known to be involved in activities, like: Earth
Day, Drive Up Drop Off (DUDO), Christmas tree recycling and being in charge of
UNLV s recycling projects. Through these events, Rebel Recycling expressed their
value to set good examples and high expectations to the environmental facilities. This

23. Historical Background And Political Climate. Brazil Was
Historical Background and Political Climate Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese
in the 16th century when it began exporting gold and lumber. Exports later expanded
to sugar, tobacco and coffee. After the rebellion in 1889, a republican government
was established. In 1937 the dictatorial government instituted the import substituting
industrialization (ISI) strategy to protect domestic producers by employing high
tariffs. State owned enterprises began expanding to oil, mining, and banks.
Restrictive labor market policies made it costly for firms to hire and fire workers so
new businesses often operated outside the formal economy. Continued state run
industrialization and extensive spending on infrastructure ended in disaster in 1982

Trade Pattern, Direction and Composition of Trade Brazil s economic history has
been influenced by foreign trade patterns and policies. Before World War II,
exports were largely in commodities such as sugar, gold, diamonds and rubber.
Coffee played a major role in the Brazilian development but Brazil was negatively
impacted by the 1929 recession and as a result coffee demand was lowered. From
1929 1931, the demand did not rebound and Brazil spent $63 million in destroying
its coffee oversupply. Brazil then required reduction in Brazilian imports post 1929 to
initiate industrial growth. This was specifically centered on SГЈo Paulo. In the late
1950 s, Brazil introduced a new tariff structure and its application favored domestic
producers of manufactured consumer goods. The protection was great enough to
completely eliminate competing imports from the Brazilian market. Brazil then
modified its trade policies subsequent the defeat of the Goulart government in 1964.
The government moved quickly to eliminate some of the restrictions on Brazilian
trade. It also provided special incentives for exports and tariff cuts. Overtime, the
Brazilian imports increased, due to economic growth and to a lesser extent the tariff
reforms. Between the years of 1969 1973, the economic growth was
24. Causes Of The Pequot War
The Pequot War started in 1636 and ended in 1637. The war consisted of the Pequot
people and a coalition of English settlers from the Massachusetts Bay. It was a brutal
war and was the first sustained conflict between Native Americans and Europeans in
northeastern North America.
The primary cause of the Pequot Warwas the struggle to control trade. The Dutch
brought on economic, political, and cultural changes when they arrived on Long
Island and in the Connecticut River valley at the beginning of the 17th century and of
English traders and settlers in the early 1630s. The world they entered into was
dominated by the Pequot. The root of the Pequot War was the struggle for control of
the fur and wampum trade in the Connecticut River valley. Before the arrival of the
English in the early 1630s, the Dutch and Pequot controlled all the region s trade.
The situation was precarious because of the resentment held by the subservient
Native American tribes for their Pequot overlords. So, when the English wanted to
join in on the scene, those other tribes sought alliance with them, shifting the balance
of regional power. This brought conflict as the competition for control of trade
escalated quickly. As tensions grew between all parties, the murder of trader John
Oldham by the Manisses Indians of Block Island in July, 1636 resulted in a military
response by the English of Massachusetts Bay that led directly to the Pequot War.
This was the beginning of the Pequot War.

27. The Theme Of Family Relationships In Oedipus Rex By
Sophocles
In the trilogy of Oedipus, Sophocles constructed an enthralling family dynamic that
induces central themes throughout the play. In numerous works of literature, family
relationships engage in the central message of a piece of work. In Sophocles three
plays, specifically interconnection between siblings and parent relationships create,
refines, and complicates themes of power, love family, pride, and extreme fate.
Starting with Sophoclesprimary play, OedipusRex, the relationship between Oedipus
and his parents support the works theme of fate and pride. Through antecedent
action told throughout Oedipus Rex, Oedipus received a prophecy that he would
kill his father and sleep with his mother. Jocasta, his biological mother additionally
received a prophecy long before Oedipus pronouncing her child to kill her husband.
Both, Jocasta and Oedipus recall that they can outsmart the prophecies by avoiding
the fate in which they write. With extreme pride that they carry out avoidance
plans that contribute to the plot and irony of Sophocles work. Jocasta sentenced
her son to death to avoid her prophecy. Oedipus ran from his perceived real parents,
from Corinth to Thebes to avoid his fate, killing a stranger on the way to the new
kingdom. Eventually, Oedipus and Jocasta get married and conceive children
together providing accuracy to their fate later when all mysterious are discovered.
Their relationships shows that the Gods are beyond their control, even though with
their hubris that noted they could get out of it. The family relationship aspect of
Oedipus Rex, situation adds more dramatized plot to Sophocles work. Faith in the
trilogies is a concept in all of Sophocles three plays that can unarguably be avoided,
Oedipus and Jocasta having the same thought process and traits shows a son and
mother relationships. Jocasta and Oedipus marrying one another is Sophocles way of
creating the irony for viewers of the play. In addition to parent relations, in, Oedipus
at Colonus, the family relationship of siblings shows the aspects of pride, power, and
loyalty. Polynices and Eteocles, Oedipus sons/brothers are at conflict with one
another, both wanting the loyal power of the King position. Eteclos has claimed the
28. A Assault, Battery And False Imprisonment ( The Nurse )
I QUESTION ONE
A Assault, Battery and False Imprisonment (The Nurse)
The positive acts by the nurse were conducted in a direct and intentional manner and
this will enable the plaintiff to establish all three actions of trespass to the person. As
per Zanker v Vartzokaz, the nurse s actions amount to assault because the direct and
intentional threat by the nurse created in the plaintiff a reasonable apprehension of
imminent harm. The victim need not know when that physical violence may be
effected rather the threat merely needed to put a reasonable person in fear of later
physical violence .
In addition as per Brian Rixon v Star City, there is an action for battery because the
nurse intentionally administered an overdose of morphine to the plaintiff through his
IV. This constitutes unlawful touching and violates an individual s right to personal
inviolability. The nurse also deliberately slammed and locked the door on the plaintiff
and this constitutes false imprisonment because it deprived the plaintiff of his liberty.
The fact that the plaintiff was unconscious will not impact this tort since a person
could be imprisoned without his knowing it and while he is asleep .

depressants such as opium also have ancient origins. Historically, barbiturates in
particular have been used as truth serums because people under the influence of these
drugs often speak without thinking Classifications Depressants can be divided into

30. Analysis Of Three Cups Of Tea
Three Cups of Tea by David Oliver Relin and Greg Mortenson tells a story that
takes the reader along an adventure, up mountains, and across the world. Mortenson
is a mountaineer that ends up in Korphe, Pakistan after he fails to climb K2. It is
here where he sees poverty unlike anywhere he has yet to be. Mortenson, struck by
shock, promises to come back to the small village and build a school in hopes of
turning the place around. He ends up raising enough money to fulfil his promise,
being promoted to the director of the Central Asia Institute which build schools
across the country, and begins to focus more on girls education. Throughout the
novel, the overall tone was direct and straightforward, and it is essentially
journalistic due to the third person point of view and changing narration. Mortenson
discovers a purpose from the result of being lost in a quest to fulfil his duty of
director and the continuation of being a humanitarian in these developing countries
which is one of the author s purposes of writing this book. In Three Cups of Tea, there
are many points in time when Mortenson thinks he has gone in the wrong direction,
but ironically ends up right where he needs to be after all which ends up being the
main theme of the book: making the best out of a bad situation.
The theme is one that many people should be able to relate to: anyone can turn a bad
situation into a good one. For instance, when Mortenson could not reach the peak of
K2, he is disappointed, however

The original seat belt was invented in the late 1800s by George Cayley to help keep
pilots from falling out of gliders. On February 10, 1885, the first patented seat belt
was designed by Edward J. Claghorn to protect passengers riding in taxis in New
York City and eventually, became installed in manufactured cars for driver and
passenger safety (Vehicular Safety Devices, 2017). In 1930, U.S. physicians
began testing lap belts after a myriad of people died as a result of car crashes (Imre
Cotetiu, 2014). Over time the three point seat belt system was developed by Nils
Bohlin as a better way to restrain occupants (History of the Seat Belt, 2009). This
system, found in most vehicles today, restrains the upper and lower part of the body

32. Media s Influence On Consumer Behavior
In the modern society, businesses tend to adopt persuasive marketing communication
in consideration of various components, including behavioural economics, sociology
and psychology. Most conspicuously, all of these essential elements to successful
marketing influence one broad concept: consumer behaviours. Businesses that design
their advertising strategies based on consumer behaviours often observe, examine and
analyze the psychology of spending in an attempt to stimulate consumers interests
and facilitate sales growth. In this paper, I will discuss two typical examples of
advertisements which represent the power of cultural influences, more specifically,
how cultures potentially affect and manipulate consumers understanding, beliefs, and
spending. 1. Video Commercial: BMO Fanfini.
This commercial was published on YouTube by the Bank of Montrealin August
2016. The target audience of this commercial is represented by a culture which

social structure includes families and individuals living in Montreal, Canada with at
least moderate income. The ideology this commercial attempts to grasp includes
people who are interested in soccer. According to the three aspects above we can
conclude that the target audience for this commercial is people in Montreal who are
familiar with soccer games. It is a common
33. Magritte Is Not A Pipe
There is clearly a pipe drawn on this canvas, but Rene Magritte himself says that
this is not a pipe. Can this be true? Are our eyes tricking us? Is this in fact not a pipe
or is Magritte just deceiving his spectators? Whatever the case may be, after reading
the title we are prompted to take another look at the paintingand attempt to decode his
message. This is the kind of reaction Magritte is trying to elicit from his audience.
Confuse them; make them do a double take, anything to get them to spend more time
on his artwork than anyone else s. So the real question here to ask is, is there a
deeper meaning?

Maybe it pokes fun at the way people tend to take art way too seriously and always
try to find a deeper meaning in images that really only go surface deep. For all we
know I could be talking about paradoxes, enigmas, and the falsity of language of
which I think the painting is trying to communicate when in reality, it is literally
just a painting of a pipe. This brings us back to the idea of individual interpretation.
In other words, it s a way for each one of us to have an intimate relationship with the
artist without ever meeting him. Although it is just one painting it could be
interpreted hundreds of different ways, each way different for each different viewer.
Maybe the work is an observation on his fascination of interaction. How we never
have to meet him, yet he still has the power to evoke a memory, emotion, or an
opinion from us. Art has the ability to connect the painter with his audience without
them ever coming face to face and that s why it s so
34. Analysis Of The Poem Where The Sidewalk Ends
Shel Silverstein is a notable writer, made famous for his poems that were geared
towards children. One of his most famous poems, Where the Sidewalk Ends shares
the title with what may be his most well known book. This poem is a very
meticulously worded work, and although it may be published in a children s book, it
can be understood and very meaningful to older generations. This piece has a depth
and wisdom that may be well beyond the comprehension of young minds, and it can
be interpreted and analyzed in many ways and can reveal a variety of themes. When
first reading this short poem, the initial theme that stands out to me, personally is the
idea of the change that occurs during aging. It seems that the stark contrast between
the imagery of the first stanza, versus the second stanza reveals the dramatic
difference between childhood and adulthood. Childhood can be thought of as more
gentle, airy, and even innocent. The third lineof the first stanza says the grass grows
soft and white... (Silverstein, n.d.). This gives that notion of gentleness, and
innocence associated with childhood. Many think of the color white and associate it
with innocence, maybe because of their religious practices. Religious imagery
sometimes depicts heavenly beings in white robes, possibly surrounded by white
wisps of clouds or white rays of light. The word soft is also associated with
gentleness. Many would imagine the soft grass, and think back to a time in their
childhood on a
35. An Analysis Of Sylvia Plath s Suburban Sonnet And Sylvia...
The mid twentieth century was an era where women would have to strip parts of their
identity in order to conform to the societal, patriarchal expectations of the time
(Thomson, 2013). Gwen Harwood s poem Suburban Sonnet and Sylvia Plath s The
Applicant give insight into the disenfranchisement of women of this era. This essay
will argue that Harwood s and Plath s poems both challenge the romanticism
associated with marriage, consequently exploiting the underlying societal hardship
and conformity as a result of the patriarchy. To support this overarching argument
there will be two key sub arguments that demonstrate how the two poems compare to
one another. The first sub argument will centre around Suburban Sonnet and will
criticise how the role of motherhood destabilises the traditional sonnet conventions,
resulting in exploiting marriage as a means to conform and control women. The
second sub argument is in reference to The Applicant , where the symbolism
associated with marriage is ironically displaced, accordingly subverting the social
constructions placed around marriage.
Suburban Sonnet displays many forms of symbolism throughout to destabilise
motherhood through the genre. The first device to be analysed is the use of the
sonnet genre. The title suggests this, however, the rhyming pattern and the number of
lines uncovers this also. Traditionally, sonnets were used to outline desires throughout
Renaissance Britain (Spiller, 1992), hence Harwood ironically
36. Summary Of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe written by C.S. Lewis is quite an example
of a hero s journey. This book details four siblings, Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy,
as they adventure into a magical wardrobe, and the magical land it leads to, Narnia.
Through a cold winter, a evil witch and a great lion, these siblings make their way
through Narnia.
Stage 1: The Call To Adventure The Call to Adventure would be Lucy finding, and
travelling through, the magical wardrobe to Narnia. A she explores her new living
quarters during a game of hide and seek, she decides to follow the light and cold
temperature of the back of the wardrobe she hid in. She reaches Narnia near a
lamppost, the magical land beyond the wardrobe, meets a good faun named Mr.
Tumnus. He introduces her to Narnia over a few hours, he was nice and very
hospitable to her, as he was working for the evil White Witchto capture humans, not
doing so is a crime. Soon enough she returns to London as if no time had passed.
She tells Peter, Edmund and Susan but they do not believe her. Later on, Edmund
enters the wardrobe and meets the White Witch and she uses his oblivious state to
get him on her side of good . This curiosity and magical happening leads to a
beginning of a long journey.
Stage 2: Crossing the Threshold The threshold they cross would most certainly be
the magical wardrobe. All of the siblings enter the wardrobe to hide from a bossy
and uptight servant of owner (The Professor) of the house they re

The first phase of the Post World War II Aboriginal rights movement was focused on
the political and civil rights of Australia s Indigenous people. Because of this, issues
of the law, citizenship, voting rights and the role of the federal government were
important.
(The right to vote 1962) The British system was that when they conquered a country,
the previously existing law of that country would remain in force. Places which were
peacefully settled would have British law applied to them. The British said that New
South Wales had been peacefully settled, and that therefore indigenous law would be
displaced by British law although it is unlikely that the first white settlers
acknowledged that there was a system of Indigenous law anyway.
The new Commonwealth of Australia came into existence on 1 January 1901.
Service in the armed forces by Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders during World
War Two was a powerful argument in favor of their right to vote. Many people felt
if they were good enough to fight and die for their country, they are good enough to
vote in its elections . In 1949 there was a compromise the Commonwealth Parliament
granted the right to vote in federal elections to Indigenous people who had completed
military service or who already had the right to vote in their state (Commonwealth
Electoral Act 1949).
In March 1962 the Commonwealth Electoral Act was amended to provide that
Indigenous people could enroll to

41. The Rwandan Genocide And The Tutsi Genocide
The Rwandan Genocide took place in April 1994 to July 1994 in the African nation
of Rwanda. It was the mass murder of the minority ethnic Tutsi group. The people
responsible for the genocide was the majority ethnic Hutu group. The Hutu group
murdered about 800,000 people, most of them the Tutsi group.About 500,000 Tutsi
women were raped and killed immediately afterwards. The most used weapon for
killing in the genocide was the machete. The Hutumilitias were sent to kill Tutsis.
Even Hutu men killed their Tutsi wives.( The Rwandan Genocide, n.d. Para 1) The
cause of the Rwandan Genocide was the Belgian colonial rule that put the Tutsi
minority group in control over Rwanda, the death of the Hutu president, and the
ethnic tension that was already there.
The Belgian colonial rule started after world war I in 1922 when Germany was
broke apart. It lasted all the way until Rwanda was granted national independence in
1961. The rule ripped people away from each other and also put them in other tribal
groups that they weren t familiar with. Just like the germans before them, Belgium
just put one ethnic group over the other. The Tutsi minority which was considered
educated, ruled over the Hutu majority who were not. The Hutus was often
considered as illiterate while the Tutsis were very smart and educated and held the
higher level jobs and controlled the government. The Belgians took a better liking
into the Tutsis and educated them in catholic schools which made the Hutus angry.

popular works is the Sistine Chapel, it was created in between 1508 to 1512. The
Sistine Chapel is among one of the most famous interior paintings in the world.
Many doubted hoped that he would fail not be able to do so because they did not
believe that he fit the part. The Sistine Chapel ceiling was originally painted blue with
golden stars up until 1508 when Michelangelo was called upon to redecorate the

however he later agreed to paint the chapel when Julius agreed to let him paint it
with his own idea rather than others. It is now one of the most famous painted

which is how the name was created, in 1475, and was built by the architects named
Baccio Pontelli, Giovannino de Dolci. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was
originally painted by Piero Matteo d Amelia, and then a few years later
Michelangelo was requested by Pope Julius the second. In 1535 Michelangelo was

43. The And Its Effects On The Cell
The transport through the selectively permeable membrane is necessary for the cell
to survive as it receives vital molecules such as oxygen from the extra cellular
environment and being able to expel waste products, like urea and ammonia, of the
cell processes (4). The transport across the membrane can involve or not the use of
energy, provided by the scission of ATP molecules into ADP+P. In the first case, we
are talking about active transport. Energy is required in this kind of transport because
it happens against concentration gradient and therefore the substance has to be
moved against its natural tendency of diffusion(2). Active transport is also necessary
when large molecules or large quantities of substance are required into the... Show

Diffusion can be defined as the movement of certain molecules down to their
concentration gradient (from the side with higher concentration of solute, to the side
with lower concentration of solute) through a selectively permeable membrane.
However, the movement of substances through the cell s cytoplasm must be analysed
as well since, after they have crossed the membrane, they will have to reach the
organelles. The dimensions of a cell are deeply influenced by the rate of this
process, because bigger cells will have a less immediate and efficient access to
those substances. When the molecules are small enough to get through the pores
between the phospholipids, a simple diffusion can happen. On the other hand, when
the aid of channel or carrier proteins is necessary, we are talking about facilitated
diffusion (5). Facilitated diffusion can happen both because the molecules are too
big and because they are lipid insoluble or ions. In these cases, the substances are
not allowed to cross the phospholipids bilayer and need the help of some proteins
present in cell membrane (6).
The process of osmosis is an example of diffusion: the water molecules move down to
their concentration gradient through a selectively permeable membrane (1). In fact,
when the cell membrane is impermeable to a solute, the solvent molecules (in
biological systems, water molecules) move from
44. Ben Shapiro Destroys The Abortion Argument Analysis
In the video Ben Shapiro Destroys The Abortion Argument, Ben Shapiro details his
understanding of abortion and offers a defense of his anti abortion stance, taking
particular note of the fetus s humanity and make apt historical references to the
Holocaust and to the American slave trade. While the primary impetus of the video
comes from Shapiro s zealous explanation of his views, little of his video deals with
his opposition s claims and rather focuses on emotional draw rather than moral
substance, though he does use the word moral once in the video. Shapiro makes
references to the fetuss humanity fifteen times during the video, claiming abortionis
killing...these humanbeings (Shapiro 2016). Despite his emotional appeal, Shapiro s
arguments about simple possession of human genetics is not a morally relevant
claim. True, human life can be argued as morally good, but instrumentally. Life
merely supports moral goods like autonomy or sentience; these examples are the
extant moral goods, which afford rights. Because the introduction of these qualities
have the ability to be infringed upon, they are understood as rights. That is, because
these rights can be fettered or diminished in some fashion to the detriment of the
possessor, the confer restrictions upon the actions of others in the system. Ben
Shapiro seeks not to argue for the relevance of human genetics into the ethical arena,
but rather to conflate human genetics with these morally relevant notions.
45. Characteristics Of The Uniform Crime Report
The Uniform Crime Report represents police reported crime statistics. It includes a
number of reported offences, actual offences, offences cleared by charge, and
offences cleared otherwise (Morden, H. K. and Palys, T., 2015). The police
reported crime statistics best represent the positivist perspective. It is not biased, and
complete, accurate, and standardized to facilitate temporal and spatial comparisons
(Morden, H. K. and Palys, T., 2015). It also believes that Criminal Code reflects
society s collective social values, and therefore considers crimestatistics generated by
the criminal justice system and governmental agencies such as Statistics Canada
unbiased measures of societal crime and criminality (Morden, H. K. and Palys, T.,
2015). The Uniform Crime Report is quantitative data that shows us that the overall
trend in crime is going down, but the Uniform Crime Report has its weaknesses, and
there are other ways of measuring the crime trends.
The statistics reported in the 2015 and 2016 Uniform Crime Report would be
quantitative data, because it is represented in numeric form and generated by
methods that are highly structured and seek to aggregate as many cases as possible
(Morden, H. K. and Palys, T., 2015). Quantitative data show overall patterns, and
their consistent structure allows for comparison to be made between groups, times,
and places (Morden, H. K. and Palys, T., 2015).
Based on the 2015 and 2016 Uniform Crime Report surveys, the overall trend of

In the summer of 2016 my family and I took a 2 week vacation to a couple
different locations we all wanted to visit. We decided to drive to our first
destination, which was a 13 hour drive! On the way to our first destination, we
stopped in Athens, Alabama to stay the night and aquire some grub. We were able to
eat some dinner while we were at the hotel and we ordered the most incomparable
pizzaever! The pizza place s name was Joe s Pizza The owner s name is Joe and has
multiple Guinness World Records for his pizza making skills. All the pizzas are
hand made and put into a brick pizza oven to accommodate just the right doneness
and taste. Then after that mouthwatering night in Athens, Alabama we decided to
drive on and continue to our first vacation destination. After a couple restroom
breaks and some lunch we finally arrived at Splash Resort in Panama City, Florida!
The ocean was breathtaking and as magnificent as ever it was one of those how can
anything be so beautiful kind of things. It just made me speechless, the water was
perfect, the air was warm, and I just wanted to jump right in and start swimming in
the water. While in Panama City we did a couple different activities. Some of which
included, obviously going to the beach for a couple of days.
The we went to the Ripley s Believe it or Not Museum. (As a matter of fact I really

myself. There were some crazy things in that quirky

On the rockets side, SpaceX currently uses the medium lift, two stage, nine engine
rocket Falcon 9, the most experienced product of SpaceX with 19 launches so far.
The standard cost of one Falcon 9 launch is 61.2 million dollars. It has 70 meters of
height and more than 541.3 tons. On the Low Earth Orbit, it can carry 13150 kg of
payload. On the Geostationary Transfer Orbit, it can carry 4850 kg worth of
payload. Furthermore, In December 2015, SpaceX just made historic landing of a
reusable rocket booster after launching it to the space carrying eleven Orbcomm
communications satellites, Falcon 9 is highly likely become the world s first truly
reusable rockets.
In addition, currently under development, SpaceX s another rocket model, Falcon
Heavy is scheduled to launch later this year in Kennedy Space Centre LC39A,
Florida. SpaceX described Falcon Heavy as the most powerful operational rocket
in the world by a factor of two . According to official data from SpaceX, Falcon
Heavy can 21.2 metric tons payload to Geostationary Transfer Orbit or 53 metric
tons payload to Low Earth Orbit, the mass of a fully loaded Boeing 737. Delta IV
Heavy is the current rocket with the highest capacity in the world. According to
SpaceX, Falcon Heavy should be able to lift twice the payload with only a third of
the cost around 90 million dollars per launch.

48. Why Hazing Should Be Allowed In College
College life brings many thoughts to mindВ…friendships, football , pizza, late
nights, parties, fraternities, sororities, as well as racial discrimination, binge drinking,
hazing and dying. The latter part of this list may not come naturally to most people,
but they are frightening realities of the Greek system. Parents send their children to
college assuming they will be in a safe, educational environment while enjoying all
the benefits campus life has to offer, including fraternities and sororities. They do not
expect a phone call in the early hours of the morning notifying them of their child s
death. Since March of 2000, over 60 people have died in events associated with
fraternities, alcohol and/or hazing (Marklein p. A3).... Show more content on

A national survey of college students by Harvard researchers found that nearly half
of males and more than a third of females engage in binge drinking. Among Greek
students the numbers skyrocket: 86% of fraternity members and 80% of sorority
members living in chapter houses are likely to engage in binge drinking (Marklein).
The frequent focus fraternities and sororities place on alcohol encourages excessive
consumption, unfortunately causing the development of alcoholism and incidents of
alcohol poisoning. The term hazing is defined as any conduct or method of initiation
into any student organization, whether on public or private property, which willfully
or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person
(UMass). Whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the weather,
forced consumption of food, liquor, beverages, , brutal treatment, extended isolation,
sleep deprivation, and forced physical activities that adversely affect physical health
and safety are just some known acts of hazing that Greek members may force their
brothers and sisters to undergo. Imagine getting an update from your college student.

49. Rhetorical Analysis Of Earl Spencer s Eulogy To Diana
Not a single author writes a piece without some type of intention. They always
have a goal in mind, typically to interest/persuade their audience to look at
something from their point of view. Other wise, the piece hasn t completed its main
goal and is in a sense, meaningless. This is displayed in 4 articles related to the
death of Princess of Wales, Diana in August of 1997. This tragic accident occurred as
she was being driven by her butler through a tunnel. They were traveling at a rather
fast pace to escape the photographers following them not to far behind, when the car
hit one of the pillars of the tunnel and then crashed into a wall. After this event, many
speeches and articles were written pertaining to her death. Although all of them...

The article that wikipedia has about princess Diana is no different. It was made to
inform the public about the event of her death. It like the eulogy, uses logos to
prove the article to be trustworthy by giving specific and accurate description of the
accident. It contained statements such as On 31 August 1997 Diana was involved
in a car accident in the Pont de l Alma road tunnel in Paris, along with her new
lover Dodi Al Fayed, and their driver Henri Paul. (Wikipedia entry for Princess
Diana)This gives the full names of all the people in the car as well as the exact
road they were driving on when the crash occurred, proving that the article is
strictly factual. As well as that, it included a controversy to prove that every point of
view has been explored. Along with that, the article displays a hint of ethos by using
information from trustworthy sources such as Earl Spencer speaking about Diana s
burial site and information from Mohamed Al Fayed about Diana s possible
pregnancy. With the combination of accurate factual informations and making the
audience feel like what they read comes from a reliable source, those put together
makes for a very strong

Studying research method was not a new experience since I have studied about it in
my under graduate school. In comparison from the previous one I had, ULMS 515
Applied Research Methods Module has enhanced my understanding about how to
conduct a research in an appropriate way to be implemented in the real world setting.
I learned to appreciate the nature of researchand the research process in academic and
practical contexts. This module also enables me to develop my understanding in the
differences between primary and secondary data, the awareness to carefully identify
research methods and technique related to data collection. This brings me to be able
to identify the suitable methods for collecting data and analysing data that will result
in the answer of the research question.
For me, the most meaningful experience was when I started to feel that doing
research is not that boring. Previously, I thought that doing research was very boring,
difficult, and useless. This might be because of the situation in my organisation
where there were so many research papers that has no meaning to be implemented in
the organisation. Having experienced this module learning, I now realise that
research can be very challenging but useful if we can serve it in an appropriate
practical way. This module has taught me that the complexity in doing research can
turn to be interesting. As a result, I have significantly developed my skills in
conducting research properly especially through the
52. A Unified Accountability System Of Law Enforcement Essay
I. Introduction and Statement of Purpose
A Unified Accountability System in Law Enforcement
Introduction
Accountability in law enforcement is an element that is vital to effective policing
across the United States. Furthermore, it is one of the fundamental principles in our
democratic society. Additionally, accountability helps to bridge the law enforcement
agency and the community in an effective crime fighting relationship. Consequently,
it is imperative that officials hold law enforcement officers and agencies accountable
for all positive and negative actions. The goals of law enforcement agencies should
promote lawfulness and legitimacy in their day to day operations. Being lawful refers
to being compliant with established requirements of the law and harmonizing with
state and federal statutes and court decisions. Furthermore, legitimacy in law
enforcement is the public s belief about an agency and their willingness to recognize
their police authority (National Institute of Justice, 1999).
Perceptions
Our society bases many of the problems on the perceptions they have about the
lawfulness and legitimacy of their local law enforcement agencies. Having
lawfulness and legitimacy are a must if law enforcement agencies are going to reach
their goals of fighting crime, serving the community, and making neighborhoods safer
places to live and work. When there is a lack of legitimacy, the law enforcement
agency and the community will have a haphazard relationship. Lawful conduct

54. School Principals And School Counselors Essay
Introduction School principals typically hire and train school counselors to fulfill
the needs of his or her respective school. How each individual principal views the
position can be vastly different from district to district and even contrast between
schools within the same district. This article disaggregates data from a study
conducted in Florida where 459 middle schoolprincipals were interviewed and
completed surveys regarding their desired roles and functions of their school
counselors as well as how those counselors were being utilized within their schools
currently. Additionally the article compares data from this survey to a similar survey
conducted within the same demographics in 1993. In 1993 administrators perceived
school counselorroles as school leader, case consultant, clerical direct service provider,
administrative team player, and substitute teacher. In contrast today principals do not
place as much emphasis on disciplinary administrative actions and scheduling, but
incorrectly continue to consider substitute teacher duties, clerical responsibilities, and
test coordination as primary functions of a school counselor. Because of this
discrepancy, counselors report it is difficult to fulfill what they perceive as their
primary role facilitators of the academic, social, and personal development of
students. Similarly, counselors acknowledge the importance of administrator support
when developing counseling programs within a middle school.

Jonathan Franzen wrote the article, Liking is for Cowards. Go for what Hurts. This
article caused extreme interest and controversy by the topic of his argument. The
purpose of Franzen writing the article was to challenge us to get back to the true
meaning of love and not being so terrified of rejection. He feels that we had become
too comfortable just liking what people expect us to and have lost the real
understanding of the word love. Franzen stated, If you dedicate your existence to
being likable, however, and if you adopt whatever cool persona is necessary to
make it happen, it suggests that you ve despaired of being loved for who you really
are (Franzen, Liking is for Cowards. Go for what Hurts. ). Franzen even admitted

He wants people to step away from their technology and go out into the real world
and have real world experiences. He wants people to take risks, but most of our
world is afraid of that, because of the fear of rejection. Franzen states, The prospect
of pain generally, the pain of loss, of breakup, of death, is what makes it so
tempting to avoid love and stay safely in the world of liking. He s admitting that
love is hard and it comes with its own risks, but in the end, it is definitely worth it.
Franzen discusses his relationship to the environment to try to expand on the
ethos of his writing. He wrote how in college he developed a strong liking for the
environment and the world around us. He began to be frustrated and discouraged
by all of the negatives that the world faces every single day, such as rising global
temperatures and the accumulation of garbage in the ecosystem. Eventually, he
made a conscious decision to back away from the environment, but then he found a
fascination with birds. He felt a sense of love for the birds, and ironically, this
made him even more concerned about the environment because that was the home
of the birds that he had such a passion for. And here s where a curious paradox
emerged. My anger and pain and despair about the planet were only increased by my
concern for wild birds, and yet, as I
