1. The Namesake Essay
Writing an essay on "The Namesake" can be a challenging yet rewarding task. The complexity of
the topic lies in the multifaceted nature of the novel itself. Jhumpa Lahiri's work delves into
various themes such as identity, cultural assimilation, and the significance of names. Crafting an
essay on "The Namesake" requires a deep understanding of these themes and their interplay
within the narrative.
One of the difficulties stems from the intricate character development in the novel. Gogol
Ganguli, the protagonist, undergoes a profound journey of self-discovery and identity formation.
Analyzing his character arc and the impact of his name change involves navigating through
cultural nuances and the clash between tradition and modernity.
Furthermore, Lahiri's narrative style adds another layer of complexity. The novel weaves
between different timelines and cultural settings, demanding a nuanced approach to
contextualize events and characters. Connecting these elements cohesively in an essay requires
careful consideration and analytical prowess.
Additionally, exploring the cultural context of the novel can be challenging. "The Namesake"
provides a rich portrayal of the immigrant experience, demanding a thorough examination of
cultural references, traditions, and the immigrant's struggle to reconcile their heritage with the
demands of a new, foreign environment.
In conclusion, while writing an essay on "The Namesake" may be challenging due to its intricate
themes, complex characters, and multifaceted narrative, it is a task that promises intellectual
growth and a deeper understanding of the novel's profound insights into identity and culture.

4. Taming Of The Shrew And 10 Things I Hate About You
Analysis
Have you ever had a relationship that has moved on because of change? Maybe he or
she was too different from when things started? The play Taming of the Shrew by
William Shakespeare and the movie 10 Things I Hate About You explore how the
relationship between Katherine and Petruchio have evolved throughout cultural
differences. Whether showing this through Petruchio, Katherine, and how their
relationship overall maneuver they act differently or stay the same because of
cultural influence. This dictates their views and behaviors in their relationship.
Petruchio and Katherine certainly have many differences from 16th century Italy to
early 2000s United States. Let s explore these differences now, starting with
Petruchio.
If you have seen 10 Things I Hate About You, you would definitely remember the
rebellious and sexy Patrick. Whether that be his black combat boots, long hair and
rugged appearance, or the fact that he ate a live duck, this certainly shows. On the
other hand, if you have read the play Taming of the Shrew you would see Petruchio
as a visitor to Padua. Petruchio states his intentions in the city plainly, ... Show more

At the conclusion of Taming of the Shrew Katherine is a different person entirely
and is tamed by Petruchio. When asked by Petruchio to give a speech to the less
loving wives, she lectures, And place your hands below your husband s foot; In
token of which duty, if he please, My hand is ready, may it do him ease. (Act 5 Sc. 2
193 195) This explains that Katherine is telling the other ladies to do whatever their
husbands command and that you should do anything for him. This is quite a contrast
to the beginning of both the play and movie where both Katherine s are rebels and are
very independent. Together, though, Katherine and Petruchio s relationship also has

5. Marc Antony Rhetorical Analysis
Marc Antony s eulogy wins the heart of his fellow Romans by undermining and
destroying the conspiracy. The conspirators claim that it was necessary for the
good of the republic to murder Caesar and convince the crowds of Romans to
believe so. After he wins over the crowd, Brutus, a conspirator, allows Marc Antony
to speak considering him as no threat to the conspiracy. However, Brutus is proven
wrong when Antony s oration manipulates the crowd into a mob thirsty for the blood
of the conspirators. Marc Antony s eulogy is more compelling to the crowd with his
use of rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos, compared to Brutus in the tragedy,
Julius Caesar. Introducing his points, Marc Antony begins with the rhetorical appeal
ethos, the appeal to ethics, convincing the crowd that Brutus and the conspirators are
liars. In discrediting the conspirators, Antony calls upon his authority compared to
that of the conspirators. Antony claims the right to speak because Caesar was his
friend, faithful and just to (III.ii.84) him. Consequently, by calling... Show more

Brutus misjudges and underestimates Antony s abilities and his audience. When
giving his speech, Brutus makes the subject on honor and abstract ideas using logos
and ethos but no pathos. The mistake that Brutus makes is that he does not appeal to
the crowd s strong feelings over the death of Julius Caesar. Meanwhile, Antony easily
overmatches Brutus because he does not overestimate his audience. Understanding
the people, Antony begins in his eulogy appealing to the citizen s feelings. Because of
the lack of emotion in Brutus s speech, Antony s highly emotional and
extemporaneous speech captures the minds and hearts of the crowd through use of
pathos and causes them to become an angry mob that sought to scorn those that took
part in the murder of

6. Rod Serling s The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street
Rod Serling s message to the readers of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is
just because your re afraid doesn t mean, you should accuse others. The theme of
fear begins to appear in the story when they all saw there was a shadow. They
thought it was the monster, but when Charlie killed it , he realized that it was Pete
Van Horn. When everyone saw that Charlie killed Pete Van Horn, they were so
afraid that they accused Charlie of him killing Pete Van Horn on purpose.
Everyone was so scared when they saw the shadow. Charlie didn t think before he
shot the monster , he just wanted to protect everyone. A quote from this story that
supports my claim is, You were so quick to kill, Charlie, and you were so quick to tell
us who we had... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Well some of us won t! This shows that Charlie was accusing Steve because Steve
didn t even take action, and Charlie at least tried to protect and save everyone from
the monster . They wouldn t have reacted that way if they weren t so afraid. and it
was just an accident and Charlie was just protecting people around him. Later in
the story, Lese s car started turning on, but he was acting like he had NO IDEA
why the group of people had come over to his house. They came because they were
very sucpicious of him when 1st. His car turned on, and 2nd why he didn t even
come outside to see when this big space ship was flying over all the houses on
Maple St. And that s why they were so suspicious of Lese. In the text Lese said,
You were so quick to kill, Charlie, and you were so quick to tell us who we had to
be careful of. Though Lese was so scared because He thought he was getting blamed
by Charlie, and then he started blaming Charlie for everything even though Lese
knew most of what was going on. In conclusion, everyone should know that, you do
not blame anyone for at least trying to protect you, and accusing you because you are
afraid and having a reaction. I think the author included this theme in their text
because, they want people to know not to judge/accuse people of what they do on

7. The Roles Of Ancient Roman Slavery In Ancient Rome
Ancient Roman slaves did numerous amount of jobs and helped Rome become
prosperous. Slavery in Rome had benefited the Republic in various ways. Slaves
increased the economy, fed the entire republic through agriculture, and they also
upheld important roles and was the glue that held Ancient Rome together. Slaves
played a huge roll in Ancient Romeand was the reason for the great economy and
without the slaves Rome would not have been as powerful as it was. An estimate of
the slave population in the middle of the second century, when the Republic was at
its peak, was over fifteen percent and they almost always outnumbered the Roman
citizens three to one. As the republic grew, the number of slaves grew with it and the

On the farms, slaves produced the food and other materials on which the cities
depended. Some of the most important crops produced by slaves were wheat,
olives, vines and grapes which were eaten and used for making wine. Slaves were
the background of the entire Roman society and without them there would be no
food to feed the Roman people. The slaves also worked as carpenters and
blacksmiths who repaired the farm tools and carts. Others looked after the cattle,
sheep and pigs. The wool from the sheep were spun and made into items which
were used by the Roman army and navy. The Roman farm products such as wine,
oil, tools, meat were exported to other counties. This gave Rome its greatest source
of economic wealth. Food was never a problem in Rome and slaves worked many
physical hours to maintain this. The land around the city was productive and as
the empire expanded it was fed by fertile land in Tunis and Algeria and the Crimea.
The fertile soil allowed to the slaves to produce a mass amount of food for the
entire republic. Most of these slaves were uneducated and did not have the skills as
the slaves who were used as cooks, teachers or physicians. Roman slaves fed the
entire Republic and was the backbone of Rome.
The slaves in Ancient Rome were the glue that held it together and important to the
social aspect. The Roman Empire was known for being a slave dependent society and
almost half of the people

8. Why Is Elizabeth 1 Important
I will never marry, said eight year old Elizabeth, after her stepmother was killed.
Royal marriages throughout history are often not for romantic reasons. In the Tudor
era, marriage was used for alliances between countries or families. Queen Elizabeth
1 was quite an eligible bachelorette, but did not marry. Despite the people around her
and as a result of what she had seen, Elizabeth refused to get married.
Elizabeth Tudor was born September 1533 to Anne Boleyn. Sadly, Elizabeth didn t
get to be with her mother very long. Anne was executed for witchcraft and adultery,
but truly it was because she couldn t give the king a son. This was also the case for
King Henry VIII s prior wife and the three that followed Anne. Elizabeth watched as

She was the last Tudor; after her was James VI, Mary Queen of Scots child, took the
throne. She restored the Protestant faith in England and handled the Catholic plots
against her. As Queen, she strengthen England s naval power and supported
exploration(Queen Elizabeth I Dies). She became a monumental work power,
without a king counterpart. Elizabeth is remembered as the virgin queen and was
vastly adored by a majority of her people (Berry). She proved there can be positive,
good quality women leaders which hopefully restored England s and Europe s
opinion on female rulers. Her love life is the topic of many movies, books, television
shows and much more (Newberry Library Exhibit).
Elizabeth I was very devoted to England when she ruled. She choose to not marry
for many possible factors. The unfortunate fate of her mothers and step mothers, the
inability to marry for true love and the usefulness of being single didn t make her to
eager for marriage (Eve). No prodding from Parliament could force her into anything.
Whether by choice or not, Elizabeth showed she could be a great ruler without a

9. Introduction.. Humans Are Known To Be Omnivores And
Meat
Introduction.
Humans are known to be omnivores and meat provides several essential nutrients
that plants can not give us. Meat is primarily a source of omega 3 fatty acids,
vitamin B12, protein and iron (Verma and Banerjee 2010). Livestock sector is one
of the fastest growing agricultural subsector globally, employing 1.3 billion
individuals and supporting around 600 million poor smallholder farmers in the
developing world (Thornton et al. 2002). Livestock provide us food such as meat to
maintain the health of the human body (Nestle 1999). With population growth,
urbanization, economic growth, and flourishing markets, an increase in global
demand for conventional meat product arose (Fiala 2008). The focus of this paper is
to provide in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is known that meat consumption is intensifying in developing world (WWI 2006;
Fiala 2008) and the global meat production has dramatically increased since 1970,
with higher rates of increase in developing countries (WWI 2006). In vitro meat may
meet this anticipated increase in demand by 72% by 2030 (Fiala 2008), while in
the meantime save animals and satisfy meat eaters (Hopkins and Dacey 2008)
Around 70% of agricultural land is utilized for some aspects of livestock
production (Bonny et al. 2015). It has been evaluated that livestock produce around
18% of every green house gas emissions, including 37% of all methane emissions
mainly connected with ruminants (FAO 2009), although, other authors have
delivered lower numbers (Pitesky et al. 2009). Livestock production is additionally
one of the primary drivers of deforestation, deprivation of wildlife habitats, and an
abundant accumulation of nutrients that decrease oxygen in water ways. About 34%
of the GHG emission related to livestock production are due to deforestation, 25%
are methane emission from abdominal fermentation of ruminants, and 31 % of the
emission are related to manure management (FAO 2009). As of now, livestock
raised for meat utilize about 30% of terrestrial land and 8% of global freshwater,
while creating 18% of global GHG, which is more than the overall transportation
region (Tuomisto and de Mattos 2011).

10. The Conflict Between The Hutu And Tutsi Tribes In Rwanda
Rivalries between neighboring areas have historically led to violent altercations. This
is especially the case in Rwanda, between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes that founded the
nation. Their relationship was not like that at first the tensions seemed to increase
when European powers intervened with the tribes. When Rwandabecame
independent, the malicious competition continued because the tribes had become
accustomed to it and adopted it on their own. It is so implanted in their culture that
even the leaders have been promoting the separation. The biggest challenge facing
present Rwanda is trying to unite the people as a whole and forget about the hateful
rivalry between the founding Hutuand Tutsitribes. Their once feudal division has
evolved into a destructive competition over ethnic superiority as the nation gained
power and eventually became independent.
Originally, the relationship between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes was not hostile it was a
contractual agreement based on skill. The Hutus, who had settled in Rwanda first,
were mainly involved in small scale agriculture. The Tutsis were more advanced
socially and politically and took over control once they migrated to the area. Tutsi
people were cattle herders and soon developed a client patron like arrangement with
the Hutus, called Ubhuahke. In this agreement, Hutus provided personal services and
allegiance in exchange for Tutsis providing them cattle, land, and protection (Rwanda,
UPenn). Although they were the minority

11. Hollow Men Analysis
The Real Life (A Discussion on Three Messages in T.S. Eliot s Hollow Men) T.S
Eliot was the most famous English poet of his time, and he was one of the most
influential poet. His distinctive style of writing took the attention of not only
other poets, but many people all over the world. Thomas Stearns Eliot is best
known as a poet and literary critic (he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948),
but his work in social and cultural theory has also been widely influential
(Edwards). T.S. Eliot s style of writing was mostly a pessimistic view on life. One of
the best examples of his pessimistic view on life comes from his work The Hollow
Men. The Hollow Men is a short part of the title The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. The
Hollow... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot expresses the message of modern life doesn t
appreciate faith. T.S. Eliot came to the conclusion that people of the modern
generation have lost their faith that people once had. Eliot was nothing if not a
seeker: seeking to reconcile the culture he saw with what he hoped it to be;
seeking to reconcile an inner despair with a parallel want of faith (Dobrinska). In
The Hollow Men Eliot describes how people don t put religion above all things
important anymore. He explains we shifted to craving liberation not religion. At
the end of the poem, eliot tries to recite God s words but is unable because the
modern world no longer knows them. For thine is, life is, for thine is the (91).
Eliot ends the poem with these words to really hit hard the point that religion is
falling apart, and the modern world no longer believes in the idea. T.S. Eliot s last
message in his literary work The Hollow Men is that the modern world lack
integrity. Eliot explains that the modern world is afraid to meet our ancestors in
the other side. Let me also wear such deliberate disguises (32). The modern world
is embarrassed about the lives we live. The modern era hides their face from the
ancestors because our lives are not as valuable as their lives once were. The modern
era doesn t accomplish as much importance as the times before. It contains the poet s
reflection on the subject of human nature in this world, and

Phosphorous occurs in the protoplasm, with its great concentration in seeds thereby
increasing their production. Potassium influences the uptake of other elements and
affects both respiration and transpiration (Fitzpatrick, 1974). * Methodology
Kitchen wastes, composed mainly of vegetable and fruit peelings, were gathered,
shredded, and placed in garbage bags with small holes. Temperature build up inside
the bags due to partial decomposition was measured and allowed to lower down for
one month until three consecutive declining of temperature were achieved.
Three set ups measuring 15 x 8 inches were prepared and were covered with plastic.
One box contained pure carabao manure, the other box contained 70 percent carabao
manure and 30 percent processed kitchen wastes and the last box contained pure
processed kitchen waste. About one hundred pieces of Lumbricus terrestris were
placed in each set up. The boxes were placed in a lighted area to prevent the worms
from escaping Since worms are known to be light sensitive. The set ups were checked
daily and watered to keep moisture. Upon consumption of the contents of the boxes,
as evidenced by the appearance of brown granular structures, the set ups were spread
on newspapers under the sunlight. The Lumbricus terrestris were gathered. The
resultant product, called earthworm castings, were then sun dried and passed

13. Examine and Assess How Political Order Is Made and
Repaired
Examine and assess how political order is made and repaired.
In this TMA I will examine and assess how political order is made mainly through
the state. In order to create, maintain and repair political order, the state needs
authority from its citizens to do so and this authority needs to be legitimate.
Legitimacy refers to a belief in the states rightness, its right to rule or the idea that its
authority is proper. I will then explain how today, legitimacy is closely linked to
democracy and it is through free and fair elections that the state receives legitimacy.
The degree to which individuals legitimise the state is varied and individuals or
groups of people can also engage critically with the state.
Creating political ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One way citizens can legitimise their relationship with the state is through citizenship
ceremonies however most citizens do not attend such ceremonies.
Many of the everyday practises and discourses of the state, its discourses, its symbols
and the ways in which state actors and institutions represent themselves to the people,
are involved in the process of legitimation; that is to say, the states claim of
legitimacy from its citizens. So through peoples everyday practises and activities like
paying taxes or taking the car for an MOT individuals are involved in the making and
remaking of the state. This is another way through which people legitimise the state.
However, one of the main ways individuals express their acceptance or rejection of
the state is through the ballot box. Elections provide a means for people to question
and reflect on this or that government policy, the adequacy of this or that
government agency, or the talents and policies of this or that party, candidate or
official. Today we would see free and fair democratic elections as the main, if not the
only, reasonable indicator of whether people have given express consent to those who
hold state derived power over them.
Its possible to see that state legitimacy is closely linked to democracy. This is
because through democracy the state claims legitimacy to rule over people in a
certain territory. Democracy is a form of political order few dare to oppose (Sen)

14. Pros And Cons Of Human Growth Hormone
Human growth hormone (HGH) levels decline as we age. This may be contribute to
some of the changes we experience with aging such as a reduction in muscle mass,
strength and stamina. When older individuals are given HGH they may experience
benefits, including an increase in muscle mass, a reduction in body fat, improved
strength and increased resting energy metabolism. Production of human growth
hormone(HGH) production slows as we age, but it s possible to still reap the benefits
of this crucial substance.
The billion dollar question is whether the administration of human growth hormone
to older people with low growth hormone, or all people, makes a difference to the
aging process. Even the elderly who have normal growth hormone levels still get old.

18. Personal Statement On Good Communication Skills
Based on the positive and negative skills I learned in our group discussion, first, I
decided to action plan to develop my skills in communication by, reading books
about good communication skills. I think clarifying my objectives and finding
common grounds are important for me to improve my communication (Baker,
2013). In other words, explaining what is the purpose of the conversation and
building a good rapport with the other person while communicating. Therefore, I
decided to find a way to reduce my fear and anxiety and talk confidently with my
mentor, service users and other professionals, while I am out for placement
(Rhodes, 2013). Second, I need to improve my observation skills (NMC, 2010).
Observation and listening skills are essential for health care professionals to respond
and recognise essential needs of people in their care (Pellico, Duffy, Fennie and
Swan, 2012). Therefore, I need to develop these skills further through practice under
the supervision of my mentor. According to Hoppe (2011), active listening is an
individual s interest and ability to hear and understand. Active listening involves
paying attention to my own behaviour and that of others, holding judgement,
reflecting the other person s information and feelings, clarifying, summarising and
sharing. Cultural difference is one of the main barriers of active listening (Burnard
and Gill, 2008). For instance, in many Asian and Islamic cultures, eye contact
between sexes is not acceptable or

19. Puritans And Puritans Essay
The most known acts of cruelty in the power of the people are the various
punishments dealt out by the Puritans. Then you have the Quakers they weren t just
men appearing on labels of oatmeal bins; they were chosen to be on the label because
the Quaker faith projected the values of honesty, integrity, purity, and strength.
However, the Puritans and Quakers both traveled to the New World to escape
religious prosecutions. John Winthrop, leading the Puritans, wanted a more purified
state and society, giving them the name, Puritans. William Penn, leading the Quakers,
wanted to spread their beliefs through themselves. They questioned leaders, resulting
in leading themselves. Both had different views of reconstructing a new society,
religion, and government. Religion was important to the Quaker and Puritans, but
how far they took it made them different. Instead of fighting to purify the Church of
England, the Puritans just traveled to the New World. They settled in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony, which is Boston today. They were able to start over and
do it the right way, but everyone had to practice the bible or be punished. In their
purified eyes, the Church back in England was embracing too many Catholic beliefs.
Puritans had zero tolerance and took religion very seriously, making them a theocracy
after leaving that in the first place.They were led by John Winthrop. On the other
hand, the Quakers were known as the friends. They believed everyone had their own

Part (i) Threat 1 a)Title: Internal Threats Employee threats b)Description of security
threatAn internal threat concerning employees is a wide ranging issue as it can
encompass various situations. The primary issue stems from an authorized,
nontechnical user or a system that can utilize the system without creating a red flag.
(Peltier, 187). c)Justification for inclusion with emphasis on risk and potential
damageThe internal threat is a primary issue as employees, statically, is the cause of
security issues. The information available to the employees can commit various
types of criminal acts from fraud, to insider trading, to breaking international laws.
There can also be issues with disgruntled employees, potentially if the employee is
only contracted or temporary. It is a common practice in large companies, especially
international companies, to outsource and contract work. This can create issues with
personnel if a contract is ended in an unexpected way. There is also an inherent
temptation with the information available, especially considering various white
collar crimes. d)Organizational responseAn organizational response would be to
create policies to deter internal attacks, which can be done in multiple ways. The
first method would require creating a training program to educate employees and
discourage such behavior. The second would be to create procedures outlining their
different levels of access that employees can have depending on their job

The information Technology project that I will be working on for this assignment
will be a media management. So the scenario will be that this hypothetical
Department of Defense contract company deals with large data files within the
sensitive compartmented information facility. The data includes personal
information, programs, software install kit, intelligence surveillance data and etc.
Any of media traffic that goes in and out of this facility must be logged and tracked
by security officials.
However, this mission could fail essentially with increasing amount of data.
Therefore, my boss would like me to start a database management project that will
accommodate this program. I would suggest using the Microsoft Access software for
this project because it s cost effective, simple to operate, and one of commonly
known source among other business entities. In order to create a database
management, I would first analyze the data, identify data types, create tables, assign
attributes such as primary keys, set up relationships between tables, input the data,
create a design, build a query, generate reports, and run final assessment.
If I do everything correctly, then this database management tool will allow the
company to consolidate physical CDs, DVDs, and tapes in a centralized secure
location with capabilities to track them. Security office staff were concerned about
missing media from the sensitive compartmented information facility. From this IT
project, I hope to develop

between the Protestant British and Catholic Irish, Ireland was relatively peaceful for
the next century, other than a rebellion led by Theobald Wolfe Tone and the United
Irishmen in 1798. 30,000 people were killed in this rebellion, which laid the
groundwork for the separatist republicanism to come and caused the Act of Union of
1800 to be passed, closing the Irish Parliament in Dublin and giving Protestant
London full control over Catholic Ireland.

An Irish nationalist paramilitary organization called the Irish Republican
Brotherhood (IRB) was established in 1858 and worked for the armed expulsion
of the British, where the Home Rule Party worked for the political expulsion. In
1912, the British passed a Home Rule Bill, which gave the Irish political autonomy,
but the bill was never enacted due to the breakout of World War I in 1914. In 1913,
two organizations, the nationalist Irish Volunteers (IV) and unionist (pro British)
Ulster Volunteers (UV) were founded in Dublin and Belfast, respectively, and the
IV absorbed the IRB. The two groups were set for a full on conflict before the
outbreak of the war, but both sides believed the national question could be
answered after WWI and sent men to the trenches. A small, revolutionary minority
of the IV stayed behind, as they did not want to fight for the British, these men
constituted the IRB, and saw WWI as their time to strike the weakened British.
They struck on Easter Sunday in 1916, but were defeated after six days. This
became known as the Easter Rising. After the IRB was defeated, 16 of the leaders
were taken to Kilmainham Gaol and executed. Executing the leaders of the Rising
was England s big mistake as it made them martyrs and gave the Irish the momentum
they needed to fight a war of Independence, which began in 1919, and that s where

27. Dominant Culture Research Paper
Perhaps one of the most difficult words to define is culture, which is something far
too broad and complex to be simplified into one finite statement that expresses its
meaning. Commonly, culture is thought of as the values of a certain group.
Throughout the course of history, society has shaped the cultureof its members by
determining the appropriate ways that they should look, behave, and communicate.
Today, these definitions of normality are often referred to as dominant culture. Most
members of society conform to the ideals established by those in power, whether it is
the clothing displayed in Cosmopolitan or the treatments for illnesses that are
critically acclaimed in The American Journal of Medicine; however, wherever there
is agreement,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Understandably, the dominant culture wants to maintain its dominance over the
subcultures; therefore, the dominant culture is willing to go to extreme measures to
ensure that it does so. In order to guarantee that power will be maintained by the
dominant culture, the dominant culture must win over the consent of society in ways
that appear to be natural. By shaping the consent, the dominant culture is able to
preserve its hegemony over the subcultures. On the other hand, subcultures are
willing to go to extreme measures to ensure that dominant culture loses hegemony,
which would turn the tables and transform subcultures into dominant cultures. This
fight against the dominant culture s hegemony is referred to as subcultural
resistance. After dominant culture manipulates society and gains its consent,
subcultures strike back with subcultural resistance, which often becomes a form of
subcultural capital and helps members achieve status within the subculture. At first,
the resistance would likely draw power away from the dominant culture and empower
the subcultures. After a short while, however, the dominant culture would develop a
method to, once again, shape consent, thus rendering the subcultures resistance futile.
This tactic used by dominant culture, as described in Kathleen Abowitz s Youth
Subculture , is known as assimilation. By undermining the subcultural resistance, the
dominant culture silences the subcultures and remains the most prominent voice in

Amid the epic battles of the American Revolution, the American Civil War

feeling of certainty and good faith about what s to come. However, this supply of

31. The Identity Status Of Individuals Essay
Yet, when looking at the identity status of individuals, the significant link between
NSSI and identity once again emerges suggesting that is more important as to what
identity status an individual has achieved (Luyckx et al, 2015b). Furthermore, in this
same study, Luyckx et al (2015b) found that individuals who were currently in
moratorium were more likely to have engaged in NSSI in the past, but not the
present. This may suggest that NSSI is related to identity crisis and the inability of
an individual to obtain identity synthesis in adolescence (Luyckx et al, 2015b).
Moreover, the researchers found that individuals in achievement indicated
significantly less engagement in NSSI behaviors than the other identity statuses.
Additionally, individuals who were currently in the troubled diffusion status were
most likely to be engaging in NSSI at the present time. This suggests as some of the
other studies have suggested that identity confusion is related to NSSI (Luyckx et
al, 2015b). However, NSSI was not shown to be significantly correlated with the
carefree diffusion status which may be due to the individual s disinterest in identity
issues (Luyckx et al, 2015b). When examining the impact of different domains of
identity formation in relation to NSSI, gender differences emerge (Gandhi, Luyckx,
Maitra, Claes, 2015). Distress related to interpersonal domains such as career and
friendship evoked more distress in females than in males. Yet, both males and females

32. Aboriginals Are The Indigenous People Of Australia
Aboriginals are the indigenous people of Australia. Australia was invaded by the
British in 1788 and forced the Aboriginals off their land and into training camps and
reserves (Murray, 2001). The Aboriginal population greatly declined due to diseases
introduced by the British and the lack of nutrition; the invasion also disconnected
nations from one another (Murry, 2001). There are over five hundred nations in
Australia, and many of them are still hunter gathers living in remote areas of
Australia (Altman, 2007). All of the nations articulate through different languages

Aboriginals believe that people and the environment are split into two halves: one
half mirrors the other which represents land, air, water, and geographical features
(Riley, 2014). They also believe that to understand the universe, the two mirror
images must come together. In traditional nations and languages, they have their
own guidelines for moiety (Riley, 2014). Children will either inherit the mother s
or the father s moiety and can only marry someone with a different moiety (Riley,
2014). People who have the same moiety are considered siblings and support one
another (Riley, 2014). When support is provided by someone, it is to be paid back
by either the person receiving the support or by someone in the family (Riley, 2014).
Aboriginals don t have cousins comparable to modern cultures; they have brothers,
sisters, mothers and fathers (Riley, 2014).
Totems
Totems comprise the second level of the kinship system; they create a balance among
the nations (Riley, 2014). Every person receives their own totem which becomes their
responsibility, and each person has four totems that represent their nation, clan,
family and individuality (Riley, 2014). Totems link a person to the universe and
symbolize their strengths and weaknesses (Riley, 2014). The totems from the nation,
clan, and family are predetermined, but the individual totem is given by an elder in
the community; it can be received at a young age or later in life when their identity is
determined (Riley,

policymakers have devoted a significant amount of resources in recent years to study
the strategic importance of Africa. They have noted Africa s growing strategic
importance to U.S. interests. Among those interests is the aggregate significance of
Africa s natural resources, principally energy capitals, and growing concerns over
violent radical activities and other potential threats posed by under governed spaces,
such as maritime piracy and illicit trafficking. In addition, there is an ongoing concern
for Africa s many humanitarian crises, armed conflicts, and more everyday
challenges that undermine the stability of the African continent, such as the
devastating effect of HIV/AIDS. The establishment of U.S. Africa Command in
response to these challenges correctly illustrated the strategic importance of Africa.
Hence, by emphasizing the relationships between security, development, diplomacy
and prosperity in Africa, the Department of Defense (DoD) intends to better focus its
resources on supporting and enhancing existing U.S. initiatives to help African
nations and the regional economic communities succeed. However, to accomplish
this mission, the DoD must expand AFRICOM s functions including its objectives
and priorities beyond just military

The merger between Sears and Kmart was a very big event in business. At the
time both companies were in the top three in sales along with Walmart. A
summarized look of the history and background of Sears before the merger all
started in 1866, When Mr. Richard W. Sears created a watch company that he
named R.W. Sears. This company was in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the watches
were only sold via mail orders. The following year the company decided to settle in
Chicago as their first real location and Mr. Sears hired his first employee named
Alvah C. Roebuck, who was a watchmaker. Then in 1888, the first ever catalog that
included Mr. Sears watches and jewelry was established. One year later Mr. Sears
sells this newly started company and starts another company that was named
Sears, Roebuck and Co. A man named Julius Rosenwald, a wealthy clothing line
owner, decided to buy out Mr. Roebucks side of the company. Around the same
time ownerships are switching the first large catalog for the company was
published. Then in 1911 Sears then created their first testing laboratory. By the end
of 1913 the company introduces the very popular brand known as Kenmore. After
the launch of this brand the company begins to bring in tons of more revenue and
decides to create a savings and profit sharing funds for Sears employees. But a thing
to remember is that Sears did not actually open a retail store until 1925 that was
located a few miles outside of Chicago. In 1931 Sears went into another

considering it s how the Dutch gained their independence. The first forty three years
of the Dutch Revolt also knowns as the Eighty Years War, was the fight between The
Dutch Republic and Spanish Empire. The fight between the two lasted from 1566 till
1609 until a twelve year truce was signed and The Dutch Republic finally gained it s
hard earned independence. The Dutch revolted against the Spanish King mainly
because the King wanted to tax ten percent. At the time, Holland was one the
wealthiest countries in Europe, thanks to their large population of windmills and the
new trading routes with India and Africa. The country didn t feel that the King
needed a profit from them and they rebelled, beginning the historical Eighty Years
War.

major parties is questionable, and the potential for a non affiliated candidate to mount
a competitive campaign is very realistic.
In theory, it is possible for a completely independent candidate to be elected to the
presidency, provided the candidate is highly competent, charismatic, eloquent, and
photogenic, and the candidate is running against relatively weak candidates of the
major parties (Mazmanian 21). However, at this time, political analysts stipulate that
the chances of this happening are slim because a majority of Americans are
xenophobic enough to be wary of the unknown candidate.
An independent candidate can, however, have a dramatic impact on the outcome of
the election without actually winning. Simply by running, a strong

41. The House Of Lords Report On Surveillance, Privacy And
The...
The house of lords report on surveillance, privacy and the constitution is mainly
centered on the subject of the government and high ranking officials storing mass
amounts of data related to the general public. One of the issues that it touches on is
how easy it is for the UK to become a surveillance society . By this they mean the
usage of CCTV and data storing getting so routine that the government will know
where everyone is at all times. This is a key concern for many people as there are
ethical issues associated with it and the idea that everyone should have the right to a
certain degree of privacy in their life.
The report also mentions various different events that have occurred in the 21st
century in which a device which stores huge amounts of personal date regarding
members of the public, sometimes even children, has been lost or stolen. The main
reasoning behind the government proposals is war against terrorism and the idea
that if you have everyone s personal information and whereabouts it will be far
easier to prevent a terrorist attack or catch the perpetrator. However, there is a huge
opposition to these said proposals.
The report puts forward some questions about how mass surveillance is affecting our
country, and where to draw the line when it comes to watching our population. The
main aim of this article is to shed the light on how far the government is taking
public surveillance so that people can know exactly how private their lives are, and

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION This chapter will
provide an overview of resilience and the factors that affect it will be discussed.
The literature review will address parental rearing behaviour, social support as well
as religious faith in relation to resilience. Joseph (1994) defines resilience as the glue
that keeps individuals functioning when they are confronted with misfortunes and
challenges. It is also the attitudes, coping behaviour and personal strength in people
who manage adversity and adjust well to changes in their lives, as well as the ability
to bounce back from bad or difficult situations. Resilience is understood as a force or
power, coping mechanisms, and other personal traits that keep individuals going
when they... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Such labels implied that these individuals were in possession of a rare and
significant set of qualities that enabled them to rebound from whatever adversity
came their direction, almost as if these fortunate individuals possessed a sort of
innate magical force that protected them form all harm (Santos, nd) Implicit in the
concept of resilience as a dynamic process is the understanding that resilience can
grow or decline over time depending on the interactions taking place between an
individual and their environment and between risk and protective factors in an
individual s life (Borman Rachuba, 2001). The process of resilience is dependent on
the factors in a person s environment and other factors in their life. These concepts
will be discussed in detail in the following paragraphs. Current theories view
resilience as a multidimensional construct, which includes constitutional variables
like temperament and personality, in addition to specific skills such as active
problem solving skills that allow individuals to cope well with traumatic life

43. Fishing For The Meaning Of Life
Fishing for the Meaning of Life
How Virginia Woolf Explores Universal Truths
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him
for a lifetime. While the ultimate moral of this saying is that teaching as opposed to
providing direct relief is more beneficial for the student in the long run, the saying
also suggests that the teacher s contributions will transcend his or her lifetime.
Similarly, the concept of transcendency is explored in Virginia Woolf s novel To the
Lighthouse as Woolf delves into internal matters of conflict. To the Lighthouse
chronicles the everyday internal struggles against the obstacles of life as well as the
triumphs over life s shortcomings. Therefore, as Woolf addresses universal concerns
pertaining mortality, ephemerality, and stability, she puts into perspective the
meaning of life as well as the importance of embracing the present.
Prevailing throughout the entire novel is realizing one s sense of purpose in life.
Representative of the cynical thoughts that visit one s mind from time to time, Mr.
Ramsay s ideology leads him to question, What does one live for? Why, one asked
oneself, does one take all these pains for the human race to go on? (Woolf 89)
Woolf suggests that it is one s perception that constitutes his mentality on life. While
some live life, others simply exist with the difference between the two groups being
the lack thereof a sense of purpose in life. Without a sense of purpose in life, one

Database is defined as a set of related data in many tables and uses links through
something called foreign keys. In a Database product you can create and modify
several databases.
DBMS
It stands for Database Management System, it is a concept of rules that all the latest
and major database systems follow. So most databases systems follow these rules but
some only follow specific rules.
To summarize, a database is an organized data collection or information that
happens to be easily accessible, changed or updated. A DBMS is a type of software
that may manage and control databases on a PC.

45. Reflection Of A Homecoming Service
September 10, 2017, was the annual homecoming service at Morgantown First
Church of the Nazarene in Morgantown, Kentucky, followed by a fellowship meal.
The meal was a combination of store bought foods, simple traditional dishes like
macaroni and cheese, and special homemade dishes. Two old ping pong tables that
once served as the main food table have been replaced by white plastic tables, and
this year, the tables were even ornamented with a centerpiece to match the other
tables in the fellowship hall. The line starts on the right hand table, so people can
walk around the table to fill their plates and grab drinks before filing into the hall.
Meat is always placed first, followed by sides and casseroles before bread and
deviled eggs at the end of the procession. IGA fried chicken (wings, breasts,
drumsticks) supplied by the church and ham cooked by the pastor s husband sat
beside Elaine Johnson s homemade fried chicken tenders, which are always gone the
fastest. Homemade sides included dressing, green bean casserole, cream style corn,
pinto beans, broccoli cheese casserole, egg salad, and biscuits.
Other sides, that I refer to as simple, are recipes followed by the recipe that anyone
could fix. These taste relatively the same no matter who cooks them whereas the
homemade dishes can only be made and brought by certain people, and no one else
can prepare them exactly or as well as the original. The simple sides included honey
mustard based potato salad with bacon, green

46. The Japanese Mind Summary
Culture is a tradition that consists of the beliefs and practices held or observed by
specific human groups that have been passed down from their ancestors through their
grand parents, parents and the society around them. Today not everyone still value
their cultural beliefs as part of social well being as compare to what their ancestors
did at their time. There are factor that influences people not to practices or focus on
their culturebeliefs. Even though, culture is taking a different face in the western
worldand the simple reason is because we as parents are not training or teaching our
children the importance of culture. The simple true is that most cultures are
diminishing out in our society today due to failure and lack of proper way to pass
down our tradition to our children. Most children today don t even know how to say
good morning in their tribe language to their parents or other relatives.
The most important think about culture is the way individuals value and view in
their own perspective mind. The introduction to Japanese culture class is one way
for me to have the idea of what culture mean to Japanese society. This is the
collective deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes and meanings of
what is in the mind of Japanese s. By reading the text The Japanese mind helps me to
understand the hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles and spatial relations within
Japanese culture. The perception of the universe and material objects

I. The DuPont Framework and Return on Equity (1996 2000)
From the chart above we can see that Jones Apparel Group has surpassed Liz
Claiborne in profitability four out of the last five years. Standing out among the
profitability figures is Jones year ended 1998, in which the company eclipsed Liz s
profitability by over 2.5 percent. Jones profitability slipped substantially from year
ended 1998 to 1999, from 9.19 percent to 5.98 percent. During Liz Claiborne s
same relative period, the company s profitability fell only one tenth of a percent,
from 6.68 percent to 6.58 percent. However, Jones Apparel Group battled back in
year ended 2000 posting 7.29 percent profitability, as compared to Liz s 5.95
percent figure, a differential of more than one and one third of a percent. While
these differences may seem quite arbitrary, Jones total revenues year ended 2000
were $ 4.14 billion compared to Liz Claiborne s $ 3.10 billion. Net incomes for
Jones and Liz were $ 301.9 million and $ 184.6 respectively. With dollar amounts this
large, every hundredth of a percent counts.
Looking at the raw dollar amounts, it would seem foolish not to say that Jones
Apparel Group has the comparative advantage in profitability. But that just wouldn t
be fitting to the apparel industry. More than any other, the fashion industry so closely
parallels legalized gambling. Apparel giants like Jones

Through The Things They Carried, Tim O Brien moves beyond the horror of
fighting in the Vietnam War to examine with sensitivity and insight the nature of
courage and fear. Included, is a collection of interrelated stories. A few of the stories
are brutal, while others are flawed, blurring the distinction between fact and fiction.
All the stories, however, deal with one platoon. Some are about the wartime
experiences of soldiers, and others are about a 43 year old writer reminiscing about
his platoon s experiences. In the beginning chapter, O Brien rambles about the items
the soldiers carry into battle, ranging from can openers, pocketknives, and mosquito
repellent o ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Some of the soldiers were such cowards that they injured themselves just to be
taken away in a helicopter and extracted from the war scene. The soldiers spoke
bitterly about guys who had found release by shooting off their own toes or
fingers. Pussies, they d say. Candy asses (22). However, deep down inside, the
soldiers who did all the mocking imagined the quick, sweet pain, then the
evacuation to Japan, then a hospital with warm beds and cute geisha nurses (22).
The soldiers even dreamt at night about freedom birds. The men were flying on a
real bird, a big sleek silver bird with feathers and talons and high screeching... The
weights fell off; there was nothing to bear (22). The soldiers did not want to be at
war, they imagined to themselves It s (the war) over, I m gone! they were naked,
they were light and free (22). Furthermore, O Brien himself admits he went to war not
out of courage, but out of embarrassment and cowardice. In the chapter On The
Rainy River, O Brien received a draft letter for the Vietnam War. He was in shock, I
was too good for this war. Too smart, too compassionate, to everything. It couldn t
happen. I was above it. A mistake, maybe a foul up in the paperwork. I was no
soldier... I remember the rage in my stomach. Later it burned down to a smoldering
self pity, then to numbness (41 42). Obviously, O Brien did not want to go to war.
However, he was

49. Saber The Hero s Journey
In The Search, by Naguib Mahfouz, the protagonist, Saber, brings forth the
question of what it means to be a genuine hero. After being thrust into a world of
uncertainty, he sets off on a search to find his father. Yet, it is quickly apparent that
Saber lacks the qualities to be a hero in the traditional sense. While Saber does
experience a portion of expected heroic like events, he fails to be a typical hero
because of his inability to overcome his transgressions and maintain conventional
heroic attributes. He does, however, partially make his amends as an anti hero.
According to Joseph Cambell s Hero s Journey, there is a standard set of actions that
transpires in multiple stories, particularly in heroic ones. This sequence of actions

This idea is supported in The Search, by how Elham serves as both a foil to Saber s
character and a symbol of improvement for him. To clarify, up until this point it is
clear that Saber (in his unheroic like fashion) is mainly relying on others to
complete his search. In Cairo, he finally places an advertisement for his father,
though in perspective, it means the success of his search practically depends on his
father seeing the advertisement and responding to it. Saber makes no further
attempts to even narrow down his father s possible occupation or location. In
contrast, Elham cultivates her own future, acquiring a higher education while
working as a clerk, a noteworthy feat for a woman in her times. Saber, the
supposed hero, however is unwilling to accommodate for a more reliable and
realistic life. When Elham questions why he does not work he responds, any work I
do must come through my father. It s worthless otherwise (372). And later when she
actually offers to find him possible job opportunities his excuse is only, there s
nothing I know how to do (407). Though the reader may wish Saber to choose Elham,
thus ultimately developing his character and improving his odds, he remains

When creating a persona authors provide an insight into their own lives. Even if an
author is not creating an autobiographical persona, they are writing from their
experiences, feelings, or memories. For that reason, they are creating something
from within. The persona usually conveys a story or provides a message to the
reader from the author. Thus, creating a strong persona is essential to the piece of
literature to convey its point. Since, the persona is the readers focus. Joy Harjo s

First, the setting of the poem is in east Chicago (Kelly 140). Second, the line she is a
woman of children, of the baby Carlos connects with the image she had of the women
rocking the baby. (Kelly 140). Throughout the poem, Harjo makes many references to
children, which ties them to the children she imagined rocking in the chair. Third,
Harjo makes the remark that the women who is hanging from the window could
have been in the chair. Harjo puts this idea into the poem by writing, it was in the
farther north and she was the baby then. They rocked her (Kelly 140). The women
from the poem who is hanging could have been in the chair moments before,
remembering when she was a child being comforted. Ultimately, if Harjo had not
been a Native American she would not have been at the urban Indian center, which
inspired her to create the poem. Native American women and their struggles would
not have affected her. However, Harjo says, I always write with especially these
women in mind because I want us all to know as women, as Indian people, as
human beings, that there is always hope, that we are whole, alive, and precious

51. How Fashion Photography Has Changed Throughout The
Years
In this essay I am going to discuss how fashion photography has evolved throughout
the decades. Some of the subjects I am going to discuss are; the beginnings of fashion
photography, the different styles of fashion photography, and fashion magazines.
Fashion photography is a genre of photography in which clothing and other material
garments are photographed for the purpose of displaying in a fashion magazine or for
the use in an advertisement. This style of photography has been around since the
early days of photography itself, however the first fashion photographs didn t surface
until 1856. Photographer Adolphe Braun took the first fashion photographs of
Virginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione. These photographs were published into a
book which contained over 200 other photographs of the Countess. Due to these
photographs the Countess became the first ever fashion model. In the 1990 s printing
advancements meant that photographers could include their work in magazine
spreads. This allowed fashion magazines like Vogue and Harper s Bazaar (which
were both founded in the 1800 s) to include photographs. These magazines were
initially hand illustrated but the new developments in printing meant that fashion
magazines were able to show photographs of what the clothing actually looked like ...

Some of these can include catalogue/look book images, editorial images, and high
fashion images. Each genre requires a different approach because they each have a
specific style requirement to fulfil. For example, catalogue images need to show a set
wardrobe of clothing so that the brand/company can sell more of the items, the poses
that the models are in are very simple and the images are very clean cut. On the other
hand, high fashion images are styled completely different. High fashion images are
made to look out of the ordinary with dramatic clothing and exaggerated

Ishan Grover Prof. Pastrana English 301B 23 September 2015 Studying Abroad
Nowadays, having a quality education helps people accomplish their dreams
through their experience of school. Study abroad is an ideal opportunity to seek
adventure with the support network of an established program. It contains lots of
experience, personal growth, and many other skills to be improved and sharpen
their mind. According to the author of an article, over the past 15 years, the number
of Americans studying abroad has more than doubled (Stengel). Many young
students are interested in living and studying abroad. As the living standard of
people is increasing, many students are pursuing their education, where they are
thinking about studying in foreign countries to further their chosen career to have a
successful academic. It is becoming one of the unique trends in today s universities
that offer students, many opportunities to go outside their home countries and
explore their skills to learn more about the real life careers in a variety of
education. Studying abroad is one of the distinctive lifetime opportunities to create
new memories that will last forever, where you can share the experience with close
relative, and friends. However, there are several advantages and disadvantages of
studying abroad. The first advantage of studying abroad is gaining experience and
self development. While studying abroad, you gain an experience that will make you

56. Female Stereotypes In Jahren s The Gendered Self
Due to Jahren s emotional instability and the need to have someone validate her,
she relies on Bill to help her succeed in her scientific endeavors and causes her to
fail as a female role model in the STEM field. She hires him to work with her and
then move them across the country to Georgia, to build her lab and do scientific
research. Throughout the story, they are always together even when she marries and
has a child; Bill is still there regardless of the circumstances. The article The Gendered
Self discusses the common stereotypes women face, such as the fact that they have a
natural dependency on men when working through their endeavors in life (Devor
419). This means women are thought to be dependent beings that cannot do anything
... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Competition which is motivated by a goal of individual achievement, or egoistic
dominance, also requires of its participants a degree of emotional insensitivity to
feelings of hurt and loss in defeated others, and a measure of emotional insensitivity
to protect oneself from being vulnerable to manipulation by others (Devor 420).
This quote is referring to men and their efforts to be emotionally distant when it
comes to work and others in a public setting. Traditionally, emotions are a weakness
especially amongst men because they are supposed to represent strength and support
towards their partners and families. In serious career fields, especially STEM fields,
there is a sense of focus required to obtain accurate results in whatever a person is
working on. They cannot let emotions get in the way because it can cause a
distraction from the work at hand and cause clouded judgements when discussing the
given topics. Jahren lets emotion overwhelm her and gives into her thoughts while
working on glass tubes that must be filled with chemicals. The task she is
performing requires the person s full attention and skill for it to be created
correctly and not cause any accidents. Jahren states, I had left it a minute while
daydreaming and far more gas had been trapped than the tube could hold (pg. 83).
Her focus was in her daydreams instead of on the task she was trying to complete.
The tube she was working on exploded and caused a chain reaction of explosions
and lead to glass going everywhere around the room almost hitting Jahren and Bill.
This one careless action could have killed one, if not both, of them. Her lapse in
focus plays into traditional stereotype that women tend to fall victim to their
emotions and thoughts very easily and their attention is taken away from the tasks at
hand. Therefore, women are not taken as seriously in more

57. The Final Solution from Witnesses to the Holocaust
The years of 1941 and 1942 paint a vivid description of ugly, taking place events
too hard to take in, and the death of 6 million innocent people. The Final Solution in
an excerpt from Witnesses to the Holocaust: An Oral History, where Sam Bankhalter
and Hinda Kibort detail their horrifying account of Hitler s rash and day to day life in
the Nazi concentration camps where they were imprisoned. The Final Solutionwas a
plan systematically matriculated by the Nazi to exterminate European Jews by
placing them in work camps designed for certain death.
Sam Bankhalter was just fourteen at the time when he was captured by the Nazis
in his native land of Poland and exiled to Auschwitz. In a detailed account he paints
the picture of life as a Jew during Hitler s fury and the unimaginable accounts of
terror that occurred. According to Bankhalter, racism of European Jews was
already occurring in Poland even before Hitler invaded, and their slogan was Jew
get out of here and go to Palestine. He accounts of being beaten and spit on the
school grounds on a daily basis, long before Hitler invaded. Bankhalter describes his
journey to the ghetto as laced with barbed wire and Nazi mocking Jews cutting off
men s beards and beating them as they yelled at the Jews to assemble. The Nazi s
only gave them about twenty minutes to pack, leaving them time to only gather the
necessities, which would only be stripped from them later. Bankhalter was only in the
ghetto for a short time, and then sent

various services as DNS, DHCP, web services, Microsoft Active Directory, printing

other Linux distributions. It has advanced technology, simple installation, GUI
administration tools, software packaging, and two desktop environments.The
advanced Linux 3.10 kernel technology has updated security, easy installation, easy
to manage the Global File Systems on Fedora. The packaging Redhat software
created RPM package management method for Linux. When you are in the
process of installing Linux you can choose what disk to partition and set your
desktop to be GUI ready. The shell scripts also are contained in subdirectories or
the /etc directory and will provide messages to you when services have started
correctly or have failed to execute. The two desktop environment that Redhat
provides are GNOME and KDE to allow users
