2. Symbolism In The Rocking Horse Winner
Fortune is the enemy of human morality. If not careful, a person who places
complete trust in luck can lose focus on the important things in life. This idea that
our lives are governed by an uncontrollable force consumes us in ways that most
people do not come to terms with. D.H. Lawrence uses compelling imagery in the
Rocking HorseWinner to create an insight of dark fortune. He accomplishes this
through the relationship of the mother and her children, the use of the rocking horse,
and the conflict of luckwithin Paul. Lawrence continually emphasizes the non
existent relationship between the mother and her children. He begins by telling us
that the children had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them . This sets
the tone for the rest of the story; a desire for good fortune makes the children seem
like underappreciated burdens. Several times the mother says things to the
children with bitterness in her voice as if they inconvenience her. Only the mother
and her children know of the loveless hard little place in the mother s heart. They
read it in each other s eyes . The simple act of leaving the apathy unspoken creates a
sense of despair for both parties. The mother fills this gap in their lives by
becoming obsessed with money and blaming all of their misery on bad luck. In turn,
the children follow her example and become consumed by this belief as well. The
desire is so great that the house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: there
must be more

5. Berry Gordy Jr Research Paper
President Abraham Lincoln, issued an act after the civil war and called it the
Emancipation Proclamation. The only reason why the Civil War was fought and
this act was passed is because of the termination of slavery, and African Americans
wanted equal rights. Slavery was eventually abolished, but even after one hundred
years later, Blacks still did not obtain equal rights. All African Americans didn t
have an option to eat, drink, or use the restroom with whites. In 1955 they had
enough with segregation, which had happened because the Civil Rights Movement
was started. Blacks were abused, and even died for their cause, but yet they still
refused to give up. The African Americans started civil disobedience and nonviolent
protests to attempt for changing the minds of the whites that lived in the South.
Leaders, that are now famous, took a stand and shared their input of racism to bring
change and acceptance. The Famous leaders that we know as heroes are Malcolm

6. Knight
The Green Knight s Identity Crisis
Many, if not all, stories follow the Monomyth formula for character archetypes
which resonates the challenges and plot of a typical hero story (Campbell 2). This
formula always involves a hero, devil figure (or main villain/nemesis), a call to
adventure, and an ultimate boon; However, some characters may fall under more
than one archetype in a single story. One character can share the archetypes of both a
mentor and hermit, or they could share those of the threshold guardian, creature of
nightmare and minion all at the same time. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
dramatically demonstrates how a single character can play many archetypal roles.
In the beginning of the work, the knights of the round table and King Arthur are
celebrating the New Years. This, going by the Hero s Quest archetype, is
represented as the common day world or the threatened community. This
celebration is then interrupted by an unsettling presence; the Green Knight. It is at
this point the uninvited guest calls for a challenge, If anyone from this hall holds
himself so hardy, so bold both of brain and blood, as to dare strike me one stroke
for another, I will give him as a gift this ax, which is heavy enough, in sooth, to
handle as he may list, and I will abide the first blow, unarmed as I sit. ,which is
interpreted as the call to adventure (Weston #). The mentor figure, in which King
Arthur fits into, accepts the challenge, only to be interrupted by Sir Gawain, Arthur
s nephew; the story s hero. Gawain accepts the challenge and cuts the Knight s
head off. However, he picks it back up and tells him he will see him next year. It is
at this point that the Green Knight can be seen as the Herald and the Creature of
Nightmare for Gawain at the same time, since he now has an entire year of
anticipation for his beheading by the Knight. However, it isn t until the near

John Locke was a philosopher, doctor and political theorists of the 17th century. He
was one of the founders of the school of thought known as British Empiricism. Mr.
Locke made foundational contributions to modern theories of limited, liberal
government. He was also influential in the areas of theology, religious toleration, and
educational theory. During his services at Shaftesbury, John Lockehad been writing.
He published all of his most significant works within six years of following his return
to England. Locke s Essay Concerning Human Understanding outlined a theory of
human knowledge, identity and selfhood. In his Thoughts Concerning Education,

Later life he attacked boarding schools for their overemphasis on corporal
punishment and for the uncivil behavior of pupils. Between 1652 and 1667, John
Locke was a student at Christ Church, Oxford, where he focused on the standard
curriculum of logic, metaphysics and classics. He also studied medicine
extensively and was an associate of Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle and other leading
Oxford scientists. Locke spent his final 14 years in Essex at the home of Sir
Francis Masham and his wife, the philosopher Lady Damaris Cudworth Masham.
Locke suffered from health problems for most of his adult life. In particular, he had
respiratory ailments which were exacerbated by his visits to London where the air
quality was very poor. His health took a turn for the worse in 1704 and he became
increasingly debilitated. He died on 28 October 1704 while Damaris Masham was
reading him the Psalms. He was buried at High Laver, near Oates. He wrote his own
epitaph which was both humble and forthright. John Locke was one of most
influential to educationalist theory. They believed that children were born as blank
slates , beginning their lives morally neutral. From this point of view, infants were
neither inherently good or inherently evil. A child s nature and personality would
develop over childhood, a period of time during which the educationalists believed a

Marius had two triumphs. He must of been a great military commander to earn
achievement. His military process is what got him his first consulship. Plutarch
describes how his name and reputation spread through Africa and he also notes
Marius display of consummate courage (Plutarch Marius 7) Your name and
reputation don t spread for no reason; Marius must have had excelled in the
qualities most sought after in regard to war. Plutarch says how he showed the he
was: capable of going through what the soldiers injured, his foresight. The former
gave him considerable affection and loyalty from the troops , this loyalty lead to
the soldiers writing back to Rome, stating that The African war could only be won
if Marius was elected consol (Plutarch Marius 7) This shows that Marius must have
excelled hugely at military process. The Scipio Epitaph s list the father and offices
the father held and military successes. This must have been a compelling argument
to the Romans. Plutarch notes how Metellus was visually displeased about this
(Plutrach Marius 8) Giving us further evidence to how people felt about new men.
He had to quickly get back to Rome. With his first consulship he enrolled a large
number of paupers, and slaves into the army (PLutrach Marius 9). This action is
unpreceded and must have annoyed some. This shows that he thought of new ways
to use the Roman armies. Which was basically taking the poor and training them.
That training would appear to pay off. He got a triumph. It must have been quite a
shock to the Romans in some ways that a new man who becomes consol comes into
Rome celebrating a triumph. Q.Metelleus told Marius that he d support Marius
being consol with his son. An insult of sorts since Marius already 49 and that son
about fifteen years younger than him. To achieve something that hadn t happened in
a long time and for it to be a new man must have shocked a lot of people. Or at

thoughts; therefore, he keeps writing his journals in order to record the
experiences he had, but also to convey his inner state while he was staying at
Dracula s castle. Also, Jonathan s passage reveals that his habit of writing a

12. Summary Of Animals By Simon Rich
Synthesis Essayanalys Animals by Simon Rich is an outstanding short story
which takes a unique perspective on the everyday life in a classroom. The story is
written from the point of view of a hamster who spends his tortured life entrapped
in a cage. From the first point in this story, it is clear that the purpose of the writing
is not to understand the hamster, but rather to analyze the different actions of the
people, and to discover that how they act towards the hamsters reflects on their
character. It is curious to view the everyday interactions of people through a
different set of eyes, that is done by humanizing the narrator s perspective. Based on
the actions of the many people and the treatment of the class pet, the author suggests
that human nature is very much a product of the financial circumstances a person is
subjected to. There are a couple of key characters in this story, the first of which is
Simon. He is just one of many strikingly similar students in homeroom 2k. Simon,
like many of the students is irresponsible, and unsympathetic towards the hamsters.
Simon jeopardizes the lives of the hamsters by attempting to joke around instead of
completing his assigned task, which involves giving them food and water. The
majority of the story takes place in a private school, and the reader can make the
assumption that the student s parents are wealthy. The author portrays Simon as well
as the other kids in a bad light, that they are, by default, poorly behaved and
13. Essay on Risk Taking
In our lives, it is important to exercise self command. However,
we should not be so concerned with the future that we stifle the present.
The question becomes what balance should we strike between self command
and risks? What kinds of risks are acceptable or unacceptable? In this
essay, we will use two examples of risks to show the distinction between
the two and arrive at a conclusion as to the balance one should have
between risk and self command. The first example we will use is of a
person who spends his life savings on a lottery ticket and does not win
the lottery. The second is of a person who spends his life savings on a
hunch regarding a cure for AIDS, a hunch that is false. Before we make ... Show more
content on Helpwriting.net ...
Now that we have several definitions of acceptable risks, we may
ask how these definitions, which seem piecemeal and unrelated, can all
combine to form one definition of acceptable risk. The best way to do
this is to examine the two cases that lie before us and relate the
definitions to them. In the process of doing so, we will determine which
risk is acceptable and which is not.
Risks in the example: the lottery and the AIDS cure
If the average person on the street were presented with the case
of spending one s life savings on a lottery ticket and losing or spending
the same sum on a false hunch regarding an AIDS cure, he or she would
probably come up with several answers. For the most part though, all the
answers would be consistent with one idea: the AIDS cure is simply
14. quot;worth quot; more and thus is a more acceptable risk. There might be several
reasons for this. One could assume, for example, that the only person who
would attempt to cure AIDS would be a doctor with sufficient experience in
the field. It would follow, then, that the odds of finding a cure for
AIDS would be much greater than the odds of winning the lottery. To win
the lottery, one has to draw 6 numbers out of 46 (a probability that is
very low). However, curing AIDS with medical experience is a less risky
endeavor. In this instance, trying to cure AIDS would be a greater moral
good because it is
15. The Depth And Complexity Of Empathy
Most definitions of empathy are based on the same core idea empathy is the ability
to understand and identify someone else s thoughts and feelings, as if they were one
s own (wordreference online dictionary, 2016). Although it s been said there are
probably nearly as many definitions of empathy as people working on the topic. (de
Vignemont Singer, 2006, p.435) suggesting that there is no singular way to even
define empathy, let alone explain its impact on our behaviour. Due to the sheer depth
and complexity of empathy it s understandable that each discipline within psychology
presents it s own explanation for why we experience it, and how it can affect our
interaction with the world around us. Psychologists have been exploring empathy for
decades, in hope of gaining a complete grasp of what it means and how it can vary
between each person, therefore its important we look at different psychological
perspectives to try to understand it s many dimensions.
For a number of years empathy was difficult to measure, as there was limited basis of
empirical data. This changed with the progression of technology, as the biological
approach could then using brain imaging techniques to visually represent the activity
going on in the brain and biological psychologists could then research links between
the activity and behavioural traits like empathy. One way in which biological
psychology has helped us understand empathy as a complex trait is through
exploration of mirror neurons.

17. Ultrasound Technology Essay
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high
frequency sound waves. It is a high pitch frequency that cannot be heard by the
human ear. In ultra sound the following happens: High frequency sound pulses (1
5megahertz) are transmitted from the ultrasound machine into your body using a
probe. The sound wave will travel into your body until it hits an object such as soft
tissue and bone. When the sound wave hits these objects some of the wave will be
reflected back to the probe. While some waves may carry on further till they hit
another object and then reflected back. The probe picks up these reflected sound
waves and relays them to the machine. The distance and time from the probe, ... Show
more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The probe also has an acoustic lens this helps to focus the emitted sound waves.
The transducer probe can come in many different shapes and sizes. The field of
view depends on the shape of the probe. Also the frequency of the waves emitted
determines how deep the sound waves will penetrate and also the resolution of the
image that will be produced. Probes can be used to move across the body but they
can also be inserted through various openings. E.g. orally, this enables the probe to
get closer to object that is being examined. Being closer to the object may allow for
more detailed views.
The central processing unit is basically the brains behind the ultrasound machine. It
is a computer that sends the electric current to the probe to tell it to emit the sound
waves. It also receives the electrical pulses from the probe which received the sound
waves that were reflected back. The CPU processes all the calculations and all the
data the probe receives. Once this information has been processed, the CPU forms an
image on the monitor. It can also store the data into its memory. Transducer pulse
controls allows the operator of the machine to set and change the frequency and
duration of the ultrasound pulses.
The display or the monitor allows for the data that has been processed by the CPU to
be displayed as an image. Images can be displayed in black and white or in color
depending on the make and model of the

21. A Grand Chain Of Rebellion First Beginning Of The...
Over the last 200 years, new ideas, particularly about science and experimentation,
influenced philosophers to pick and choose some of the ideas of the previous eras to
create their own new and unique understanding of the world. Intellectual movements
that influenced recent history are part of a grand chain of rebellion first started in the
Renaissanceera.
Renaissance era covers the 300 years from 1400 to 1699 and is characterized by a
revival of Classical scholarship, wisdom and values. European culture was reborn in
the 15th century after a long dormant period in the Middle Ages that extended from
the fall of the Roman Empire until the beginning of the 14th century. In addition to
the revival of Classical scholarship, the Renaissance period also experienced cultural,
scientific and technological advancements such as the discovery and exploration of
new continents, the adoption of Copernicus s and Galileo s views of the earth and
solar system, the decline of the feudal system, the growth of commerce, and the
invention of paper, printing press, the mariner s compass, and gunpowder.
The characteristics of Renaissance were first noticeable in Italy in late 14th and early
15th century during which new ideas about political order and a heightened
consciousness of the artist as an aspiring individual began to take root. There was a
thirst for Classical learning and a desire to create a humanism from that learning. This
period saw the birth of humanism lead by notable
22. Martin s Argument On Homosexuality
In recent years, Dale Martin has pioneered the idea that Paul did not, in fact,
condemn the practice of homosexuality. Martin argues that Paul was too
defamiliarized with the notion of homosexuality to pass a judgement on it. Thus, the
apostle was neither supporting it, condemning it, or even taking a neutral stance on
it. Paul was, according to Martin, completely oblivious to the concept. While Martin
s case is admittedly compelling, I would assert two major flaws in his argument.
Traditionally, the first chapter of Paul s letter to the Romans has been used as
evidence for New Testament condemnation of homosexuality. Scholars who argue
against homosexual condemnation must interpret men who gave up natural relations
with women and were consumed with passion for one another as being something
other than homosexual. Most commonly, such a scholar claims that Paul was
speaking specifically on the issue of pederasty, not globally on the issue of
homosexuality. This claim falls short when one comes to appreciate how well
understood pederasty was in antiquity. Unlike homosexuality, pederasty was well
defined in Greek thought as a relationship between an adult male (the erastes) and a
younger male (the eromenos). If Paul were really condemning only pederasty, he
certainly would have employed erastes/eromenos rhetoric in doing so. The second
flaw in Martin s claim about Paul is that Martin neglects to acknowledge Paul s

The process I have been using to deduce whether online sources are reputable are as
follows.
First, if using a website, I look to see if it is one of the approved type of resources I
am allowed to use for my research paper. If it is not, I discard it and search for
another source. If I determine that it is viable, I evaluate the credibility of the website
to determine if it is authentic by looking at the home page, various articles and
sources (Vandermey, 2012). I also evaluate the date the article was written or
published (Vandermey, 2012). Depending on the topic I am writing about, I generally
decide whether the date is acceptable based on the amount of research available on
my topic (Vandermey, 2012).

One particular website, in general, stands out above the rest and that is of the
American Beverage Institute (ABI, n.d.). The American Beverage Institute represents
restaurants, entrepreneurs, and beverage companies of the hospitality industry and
coins itself as the only organization dedicated to protection of responsible on premise
consumption of adult beverages, yet, their actual mission is quite contrary (ABI,
n.d.). The American Beverage Institute has instead named itself as an advocate
against lowering the federal standard to 0.05 BAC (ABI, n.d.).
I have found that the ABI is biased in their presentation of lowering the BAC to .05
as they only present research which supports their mission. The information on their
website is well supported and documented through various research based
organizations and the writing is professional, clear, and well sourced. Many of the
articles do not have authors, rather the entire article is attributed to the organization
as whole. In this situation, I decided that since it is a reputable organization, and the
articles are backed with reputable sources, I would move forward even though I
could not find one specific author for some articles. Although this website is biased

Fuel for Thought
Should our government regulate the fuel economies of our automobiles or should this
be left up to the market? The Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards
that were implemented in the 1970s contributed to great improvements in vehicle fuel
economies. While we have environmental and political reasons to want cars with
better fuel efficiency, there are also costs involved. The declining fuel economies of
the last fifteen years seem to reveal that many Americans are not willing to bear these
costs. Still, the vehicles that we drive today may be a misrepresentation of our true
values. We may value environmental qualityand/or independence from foreign oil,
but sometimes our individual ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The huge number of SUV drivers probably influenced Congress s decisionto reject a
proposal for new CAFE standards, in 2003. The plan wouldhave required the auto
industry to produce a fleet of cars, trucks and sportutility vehicles that averaged 36
miles per gallon by2015 (Mateja, F8).
There are three main reasons for the desire to increase vehicle fuel efficiency. First,
the United States does not want to be dependent on foreign oil in case of wars or
other conflicts. Furthermore, oil is a limited resource. As Steven Plotkin points out,
Light duty vehicles...account for about 40 percent of U.S. oil consumption (25).
While estimates vary on how long oil will last, no on argues that it can last forever.
Whatever cuts we make in energy use today can help ensure a better future. Finally, a
car that consumes more fuel per mile will produce morepollution than another,
assuming they both travel the same distance and arein similar mechanical conditions.
U.S. citizens have become increasinglyconcerned about smog and the possibility of
global warming. As majorusers ofenergy and producers of pollution, our vehicles are
good candidatesfor reform.
The CAFÉ standards helped to promote technological change, specifically
improved engines and computerized controls ( Another Cup... , 1), but there are also
other ideas for reducing gasoline consumption. One idea is to increase fuel taxes.

25. Negative Response To The Alien And Sedition Act
Signed into law by President John Adams in 1798, the Alien and Sedition Acts
consisted of four laws passed by the Federalist controlled Congress as America
prepared for war with France. These acts increased the residency requirement for
American citizenship from five to fourteen years, authorized the president to imprison
or deport aliens considered dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States
and restricted speech critical of the government. These laws were designed to silence
and weaken the Democratic Republican Party. Negative reaction to the Alien and
Sedition Actshelped contribute to the Democratic Republican victory in the 1800
elections. Congress repealed the Naturalization Act in 1802, while the other acts were
allowed to expire.

27. Social Problems In Prison
Define social problems. A social problem is something that society or certain groups
in society see as threat or disruption to the system.
Prison system: Examine and give three solutions to help fix the prisons. The prison
system was designed to house criminals. I see no true form of rehabilitation or
programs in place to help inmates merge back into society. My first initiative would
be for all inmates to get some form of training and education. Although this already
offered, I would ensure that they receive a quality education that they can actually use
in society. My second correction to the prison system would be the mindsets of the
inmates. When you place a lot of prisoners in one confined space, you are
ultimately producing negativity and feeding into the idea of a closed mindset.
Placing them behind bars and closed doors can impose the idea that I am an animal,
and I will never have another chance at life. Instead, I would have intervention
programs and real talk counseling to get the inmates to truly question their existence
and how some of their behaviors could be corrected. Lastly, I would separate violent
and nonviolent offenders. Many prisoners are placed together without much
examination of their records. This creates friction, and leads to a hostile environment.
I would have the inmates placed according to the infractions committed, and I am
sure that there will be less reports of prison violence.

28. Character Analysis Of The Pearl By John Steinbeck
The Pearl written by John Steinbeck follows the journey of a poor family that gets
lucky. In this impactful tale about how Kino s, the father s, perfect life turned into a
roller coaster constantly going down. When Kino finds the Pearl of the world, greed
and avarice built up in him and others in the town, causing Kino s personality to take
many different forms. From a man to animal to machine Kino is continuously
changing as the family goes on their difficult journey throughout the tale.
Kino begins the story as a man, which is a human that has human instincts and thinks
out each action before performing it in the beginning of the story. Kino always
thinks before performing an action and his goal is to live his life happily and
protect his family. There are many scenarios where Kino s actions support this claim.
For example, He could kill the doctor more easily than he could talk to him, for all
of the doctors race spoke to Kino s race as though they were simple animals
(Chapter 2 Steinbeck).This quote shows that Kino thinking his actions through
with not killing the doctor because of the disrespect he was receiving from
him.This also shows that Kino sees the idea of him being an animal as insulting.
Kino would not want the doctor and the rest of the doctors race to be correct about
Kino being uncivilized. Another example that shows Kino acts like a man is For it
is said that humans are never satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want
something more (Chapter 3 Steinbeck). This quote explains that humans will never
be satisfied and always want something more. Kino is like this because he has
everything he needs a nice family a son that has just become healthy again and a
stable home, yet he still asks the doctor to help his son after he finds the pearl. This
shows he is not satisfied, which is a trait shared with all of mankind. This quote
also has an impactful lesson behind it, which is that if Kino did not act as most of
mankind would in the event where he was to sell the pearl he would have been
satisfied with the original price he was offered and the tale would not result in the
death of his son Coyotito. The final example is, It was at once property and source of
food, for a man with a
29. The Philosophy Of Humanism During The Early
Renaissance
A significant increase in secular art began in the early Renaissance because of an
enormous gain of wealth by Florence in the early 15th century. The philosophy of
humanism began, combining the values of both spirituality and the worth of the
human mind and experience. The republics people valued the individualism in
humanism, believing their society and its values to represent liberty and freedom.
(Harris Zucker, n.d., para.6). As a result, wealth combined with an interest in
portraying individual power, piety, and human experience created a thriving artistic
market whose patronage was no longer confined to the exclusive domain of the
church. Rather, wealthy private families and government officials began to hire
artists with increasing... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Beginning with the Renaissance, the dignity of individuals and importance of nature
was explored in artistic design and specifics that strove for the deception of reality,
inspired by human curiosity and scientific interest. Artists as the periods went on got
to the the level of theorists and intellectuals, their skills becoming a relation to their
minds as opposed to their previous treatment in the middle Ages as craftsmen.
For example, the subjects of sculpture and paintings often reflected a growing
interest in private meditation and prayer (Harris Zucker, n.d., para 2), and the desire
of important patrons to create powerful visual displays of wealth and imagery that
cast themselves in a dignified light lead to growing numbers of artists being
commissioned for portraits. During the 15th century, for instance, the Italian
Renaissance resulted in wealthy, cultured Florentine families becoming frequent art
patrons, desiring beautiful and tasteful art for their homes. The Triumph of
0amillus , painted by Biagio d Antonio 1470 1475 was likely purchased as a panel
to show in a domestic environment. The painting depicts a scene from the Roman
author Livy s writings of a triumphal parade for 0amillus after he and his troops
saved Rome from invading Gauls (National Gallery of Art, n.d., para 2)

I chose to travel to the Museum of Modern Art for this assignment. Once I was
there, I wasn t sure which artwork I wanted to focus my analysis on. At first I was
overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the museum (I have never been), but after a
little while I gained my bearings and began to explore for 20th century art. After
viewing many of the paintings that we discussed in depth in class and many that we
did not, I decided to write my analysis on Street Light, by Giacomo Balla. I chose this
paintingbecause the colors and aspects of it intrigue me. I am also familiar with it,
which can help aid me in my analysis. I was extremely interested when we discussed
Futurismin class, and I was happy that I could find something in the Museum of
Modern Artthat had to do with that particular movement, especially a painting that
we touched upon. The painting itself was much larger than I anticipated in person,
and stood taller than me the way it was mounted on the wall. The colors were more
vibrant than any picture online could convey, and I found that I had to restrain
myself from physically touching the lines of color that symbolized the street lamps
light. Up close, I was able to notice the finer details of the work. The lines seemed a
little messier and more hastily painted than I had originally thought, however, this
added to the movement of the piece overall. I found myself wishing that the lines of
color pushed to the boundaries of the painting rather than ending before

This can include self protective behavior, which is an action intended to confer
protection from potential harm, such as wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle,
using seat belts, or wearing a condom during sexual activity. Self protective behavior
is also known as cautious behavior.
Illness behavior is any activity undertaken by individuals who perceive themselves to
be ill for the purpose of defining their state of health, and discovering a suitable
remedy.
Health behaviors are shaped through a complex interplay of determinants at
different levels. For instance, social support from family and friends at the
interpersonal level, physical activity is influenced by self efficacy at the individual
level while perceptions of crime and safety at the community level. Ecological
models suggest that these multiple levels of influence interact across levels. Also,
social support for exercise from co workers may interact with the availability of
exercise equipment at the worksite to lead to increased physical

A second way technology s impact negatively affects the youth, is by creating a
world of hyperconnectedness . This means people are experiencing a personal
connection to people they do not personally know and situations they are not apart
of. An example Schrobsdorff gives is of Phoebe Gariepy, a teenage girl who
followed another girl on Instagram who lived across the country from Gariepy.
When Gariepy found out the girl on Instagram was killed, she felt really extremely
connected to [the] situation . This type of hyperconnectedness is a widespread
phenomenon affecting youth of all backgrounds. The second example Schrobsdorff
gives is of students in Montana. In this example, Daniel Champer, a school director,
explains that the students of Montana are overexposed . Champer goes on to
explain how the students of Montana often know before adults when tragedy strikes.
This kind of exposure does not allow adequate time for counselors to help .
Schrobsdorff uses these examples to give real world examples and perspectives of

War is an experience that is difficult to understand and describe. Imagine coming
back from war and not having the love, comfort, or support from your loved ones
to help you move on with your life. How would one feel in that situation?
According to the way Tim O Brien told the stories of the soldiers in The Things
They Carried, they either knew how to cope or didn t.
The story of Norman Bowker showed that he did not know how to cope after he was
home from war. O Brien proved this to us when he said In the spring of 1975 near the
time of Saigon s final collapse, I received a long, disjointed letter in which Bowker
described the problem of finding a meaningful use for his life after war (O Brien
149). He had the love and support from his family but they did not understand him.
In addition, no one wanted to hear all about the gruesome war stories he had to tell.
In the end Bowker took his own life.
On the other hand O Brien did have a way to deal with everything he went through
at war. Writing and telling a story was the way he managed with all the deaths he
experienced. In the book Rat Kiley told us We kept the dead alive ... Show more

Argumentative Essay: The Problem With Painkillers
Have you ever felt pain? The kind that inhibits you from getting through your day,
and doing what you need to? Well, it pains me to say it, but everyone will feel pain
at least once in their life, and some people have it worse than others. People with
severe or chronic pains usually will go to painkillers to relieve their pain and stress,
but it s easy to get addicted. Worst case scenario is that a person could look to
heroine in order to fill their craving for pain medication, after their prescription is
finished. It s easy to get hooked, and hard to resist, which is why even though
helpful, pain medication can be deadly in the long run. Studies show that about
nine percent of Americans use pain medications, and 2% 3% of Americans abuse
pain medications (not 2% 3% of painkiller users, but the general public).

36. Taking a Look at Secular Humanism
All systems of thought and each worldview have a notion of God. Secular humanism
is defined as a belief system where humanity is the sovereign of all beings, and where
reality and information rests in science and reason. The secular humanistic worldview
started as a substitute among religions. Humanism is not a religious belief system in
itself, while secular means not religious. A religionis any system of belief that informs
an individual s worldview. The secular humanistic worldview has a distinctive belief
on many disciplines such as theology, ethics, and evolution among others. Thus, the
thesis of this paper is; the secular humanismworldview is religious, as secular
humanists uphold beliefs and values that hold them with dedication. The purpose of
this research paper is to discuss whether the secular humanistic worldview is indeed
religious and how it has influenced the American Culture. Secular humanismis
nontheistic and religious because it directs itself towards beliefs and practices that
are in active opposition to customary theism. According to the Humanistic Manifestos
I and II, secular humanism is a religious and philosophical moral point of view
(House 381).
The founders of the secular humanistic worldview considered it a religion. The ideals
of the movement can be traced to ancient philosophers, scientists and poets of
classical Rome and Greece and to some extent the Chinese Confucian society,
Carvaka movements of India and other ancient moral

Bridging the distance between nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Gerard Manley
Hopkins poetry is of great significance. As often the case with innovators and artists
who are ahead of their times, Gerard Manley Hopkins was torn by contradictions and
his poems regarded as unconventional for the historical period. His works are
specifically marked by the varied use of linguistic features and rhythmic patterns
which did not match the traditional writing styles of the ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Some of the recurrent themes and motifs in Hopkins poetry include the idea that the
world resembles a book written by God, through which he expresses himself in order
to provide humans with an opportunity to understand and approach him (Gardner
11). In God s Grandeur Hopkins can be seen to express his concern about the
spiritual crisis of the Victorian period. During this time of urbanization and
industrialization, Hopkins voiced his distress about human indifference to
destruction. This poem is one of the very few which he wrote during the time when
he served as a priest.
The form of God s Grandeur is an Italian sonnet, but with some alteration. Even
though Hopkins does not use sprung rhythm here, he varies his sonnet structure from
the traditional iambic pentameter. Typically, a sonnet contains 3 quatrains (4
lines) and a couplet (2 lines); the Italian sonnet is characterized by having 1 octave
(8 lines) and 1 sestet (6 lines). In God s Grandeur a similar pattern is followed,
however, Hopkins presents a technique he often employs in other works as well, that
of using the octet to present a personal or a sensory experience and the octet in order
to provide some reflection on the topic (Gardner 221).
God s Grandeur paints a poignant image of the destructiveness of contemporary
human life, in particular, in the second quatrain. The second quatrain also presents a
feature that is specific for Hopkins and different from the rhythm of the Italian
39. A Brief Look at Robert Browning
An English poet named Robert Browning who was born on May 7, 1812 in
England. Robert Browning had extremely dramatic monologues, which later in life
portrayed him as one of the best Victorian poets in the world. His father who
worked as a bank clerk and mother who was a pianist, both collected books and
pictures. Porphyria s Lover and Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister are one of his best
examples expressing his dramatic monologues and verses.
At the age of fourteen Robert Browning already knew French, Greek, Italian, and
Latin, four of the major language spoken in today s world. Later in life Robert
Browning became and atheist and vegetarian following the famous romantic poet,
Percy Bysshe Shelley. Browning never showed any enthusiasm toward school or
school life. He later dropped out of school and studied books in his dad s library,
where he later discovered his true love for poetry, and wanting to become a writer.
Learning how to be very musical from his mother helped him composes a few
songs that his dad sponsored. Robert never listened to his parent s advice and them
wanting him to follow a formal and regular life and job, denying their wishes
Robert became the poet he always wanted to be. Browning lived at home until the
age of 34 depending on his mother and father to support him, until he later married.
In 1833, Robert Browning published his first major work which he did with nobody
knowing it was called Pauline.
Robert Browning early creative life was spent in
40. The Shift Of Gender Roles
The Shift of Gender Roles Gender roles are a major component of many wonderful
pieces of literature and differ as time passes. The amazing part about reading
novels set in different time periods is that as readers we can see the progression of
these gender roles throughout time. Willa Cather s novel One of Ours displays
both traditional and non traditional gender roles. These gender roles are displayed
through the main characters Claude and Enid, and minor characters such as
Leonard Dawson and his wife Susie. Cather s use of gender roles gives an insight
of what was expected from men and women during the period of World War I and
how these roles are beginning to shift between men and women against the social
norms. One example of gender roles being displayed in One of Ours is when
Claude and Enid are driving home from shopping at Hastings. The gender roles in
this scene start out as being traditional. Claude is in control by driving on the car
and doting on Enid, he is the dominant party in this scene and he is taking
responsibility for his and Enid s journey. Claude is taking on the role of protector,
which is generally a male role. However, the gender roles in this scene take a turn
with the weather. On the drive home, a Claude and Enid encounter a rough
thunderstorm. After a close encounter of swerving on the road Claude tells Enid, IF
that had happened on a culver, we d be in the ditch with the car on top of us. I

influence others, give pep talks, meet important people, and discuss politics. In
college or high school these clients were elected to office, organized clubs, debated,
supervised the work of others, or acted as a spokesperson for a cause. They become
bankers, personnel recruiters, labor arbitrators, insurance managers, and small

data and carrying out in detailed instructions. They have the ability to file
correspondence, work in office setting, type 40 words per minute, use shorthand, post
credits and debits, and keep accurate records. They may have done bookkeeping,
operated business machines, written business letters, or maintain neat records and
files. Conventational types are often employed as accountants, credit managers,

War
During the era of the Cold War, starting in 1947 and definitively ending in 1991, the
United States and the Soviet Union faced off in conflicts with each other through
smaller states.
The United States and Soviet Union faced off to see who could spread their ideology
the most in Europe. The Soviet Union used force and supported coups to spread
communism while the United States installed democratic governments as a way to
counter communism in Eastern Europe. These small conflicts that the two
superpowers engaged in caused high tension between the two. During World War 2,
the U.S developed the world s first nuclear weapon, the atomic bomb which was a
destructive explosive capable of wiping cities. The destruction can be seen from
the result of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki leaving over hundreds of
thousands dead. It wasn t until years later that the Soviet Union would start
developing nuclear warheads as well. Engaging in small proxy wars was a better
alternative to direct combat between the Soviet Union and United States because it
prevented the risk of a nuclear war between the United States and Russia as well as
preventing World War 3 from happening because of the treaties made by the two
countries.
An example of destruction caused by nuclear weapons was in 1945 during World
War 2, when the United States used two atomic bombs on Japan in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, the results of the bombing was destructive, as can be seen in the document

44. How Did Geography Affect Civilization s Development
Amid the times of 3500 BC to 2500 BC, the geography of a land frequently affected
a civilization s development in great measures. Contingent upon the assets accessible
or the burdens display because of certain geological attributes like rivers or deserts, a
civilization could thrive or fall. By concentrating on the geographic highlights of
developing societies like the NileRiver, Eastern Desert, and Western Desert. Amid its
times of advancement, particularly around in 3500, the ancient land of Egyptwas
found in different landmasses, these mainlands being Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was
isolated into various divisions, fundamentally land, there being four noteworthy

According to Egyptians History it said, So because of the Mediterranean Sea we
have Alexandria and we also have trade and connections. The sea was essential for
transportation, particularly of merchandise like wood from the close East and
copper from Cyprus. Egypt was a constrained nation and they needed to import
numerous things. A wide range of tribes used the sea to come to Egypt, similar to
the Hittites, Persians, Greek and Romans. Grains went out, and gold and products
came in. The Mediterranean took into consideration for extensive trade, which was
great for the Egyptian economy. It additionally gave occupations like sailors and
fishermen. As you can see, the Nile river was the Egyptian highway, which provided
transportation for people and products and the supplements that the crops needed,
the seas provided jobs and another way to communicate and trade with father
civilization, and the deserts on either side of the Nile river valley provided a
defensive barrier around Egypt preventing invasion or at least making it extremely
difficult. All in all, the geography had impacted the Egyptians

This can often times cause an individual to not explore obvious ways of dealing
with hard personal and emotional issues. Sometimes we can have the answer in the
front of us and because of our personality choose to not follow the help given to us
by way of counselling assistance. An individuals inner self needs all the positive
inspiration it can get and our personality is vital element to accepting what we
require for our own good. Accepting that our internal self is a emotion, and
instinctive, self also empowers us to work towards pursuing direction to decide
disputes and anxieties that have developed and matured.

The main materials used are rubber, steel and plastic. The rubber starts out in rubber
plantations by farmers in Thailand, being a tier three supplier, and is then produced
and shipped out by the Thai Rubber Latex Corporation, being a second tier
supplier.18 The steel starts out in Australia, as iron ore, in mines excavated by Rio
Tinto, being the tier three suppliers.19 Next, the iron is shipped from Australia to
China, Mexico, Taiwan, and Japan, again by Rio Tinto.20 Following, the iron ore is
received by Baosteel, in China, being a second tier supplier, where it is transformed
into steel.21 Ensuing, multiple companies such as Weinmann, microSHIFT,
Shimano, KMC, Promax, Louis Garneau, Pro Wheel, and Full Speed Ahead receive
the steel and rubber, and manufacture it into the respective parts needed for the
bicycles. Weinmann China manufactures the wheels and rims, microSHIFT produces
the front derailleur, and Pro Wheel manufactures the crankset, all from Shenzhen,
China.[22][23] The steel is also shipped out to Shimano, a Japanese company, where
the shift levers, the cassette, and the brake levers are created.24 KMC, Promax, and
Full Speed Ahead also receive the steel at the plants in Taiwan, where the bicycle
chain, breaks, and the headset are created.[25][26] The steel is also sent to Mexico,
where Louis Garneau manufactures the frame, fork, stem, handlebar, and grips.27
Weinmann, microSHIFT, Shimano, KMC, Promax, Louis Garneau, Pro Wheel, and

47. The Namesake Meaning
In multiple cultures, the meaning or value of a name is not only significant to the
individual, but also in life. Out of the millions of assigned labels, every name has a
different reasoning behind it. In the novel The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, a young
American Indian boy received a name from his parents, specifically his father. Though
in Indian culture, it is a custom that the grandmother name the child. Due to delayed
communications, Gogol s name does not follow traditional form. A name is not only
something assigned to be damaged, it is to show empowerment when chosen. Names
are an important key to what society values, says author David S. Slawson (Sunbury,
n.p.).This quote expresses the distinction between the actual meaning of

49. Examples Of Maturity In To Kill A Mockingbird
Every person experiences a diverse moment in their life in which their maturity
reaches its peak, but it happens at distinct times for different people. The novel To
Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is about the life of the a young girl, Scout Finch.
As the story goes along, Scout becomes more and more mature from the beginning to
the end. She witnesses and sees things that force her mind to develop and adjust to
everything, which continues to increase her maturity. The theme of maturity in To
Kill a Mockingbirdis shown through Scout throughout the whole story. She shows
how mature she is when she s a young kid and experiences meeting Dill, going to
school and having Walter over for dinner, when she encounters and meets Boo
Radley, and when... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She questions him about topics like his father and then wonders and asks him
what is wrong with him. As a young child she doesn t understand that not everyone
is the same and some people have faults in their lives, but she then grows and
accepts him for who he is. She matures enough to see past his flaws and becomes
great friends with him throughout the story. Another incident at the beginning of
To Kill a Mockingbird is when she has Walter over for dinner and she criticizes him
and does not comprehend how he is unique and that he lives in poverty, but she is
too young to understand and speaks her mind. Calpurnia then takes Scout into the
kitchen and teaches her about manners and to be mature especially around guests.
She then understands and goes back to dinner, but no longer worried about the
things Walter is doing that she does not enjoy. Scout later says in the story, В‘No,
everybody s gotta learn, nobody s born knowin . That Walter s as smart as he can
be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy.
Nothin s wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there s just one kind of folks. Folks.

50. Depression In William Wordsworth
I have been seeing three new patients recently, all Romantic poets who appear to be
suffering from various levels of melancholy. Although each one of these poets is
highly successful and influential in the Romantic Movement, each has
experienced bouts of dejection, loneliness, and disillusionment with reality.
However, this melancholy seems different from cases I have encountered in the
past. Strangely, none of these clients show symptoms of the excessive black bile
that typically associated with melancholy such as apathy, lack of motivation, and
hopelessness (Brady, Haapala). In fact, while all of these clients experience
melancholic thoughts, these emotions appear to be more complex than depression
as they allow the pleasures of deep reflection and often lead to feelings of sublime
joy and inspiration. Instead of suffering from a clinical form of melancholy or
depression, these clients appear to be experiencing a complex emotion of joypain
which they believe has the capacity to reveal the infinite powers of the self or the
imagination (Murray, 722). Yet, while all of these poets seem to believe in the
importance of melancholy as inspiration for their work, each of these poets also
seems to express this emotion in different ways. While one of these poets, Mr.
William Wordsworth, often turns his negative ruminations into positive reflections on
nature and memory, Mr. Coleridge instead experiences deeper melancholic moments
that he cannot dispel quite so easily. Mr. John
51. When Hearing The Term `` Be On Time ``
The first thing I need to do is often making sure I am at the right place, at the right
time or just with time to spare. This can be an easy task that is easy and painless to
do, and it will be completed. When hearing the term be on time , almost every
individual can comprehend what that phrase means; since it s been a phrase that s
been used throughout history. A phrase with so much importance, that it must be
written to understand it. The societies we live in use this phrase be on time for
many reasons. Every company, school, banks, and etc use it in their policies and
their daily lives; from being on time for work, to completing an assignment on
time. It helps display a foundation on how an individual preserves themselves, as
well as for companies and organizations. It displays their professionalism to others.
It provides security in objectives knowing that everything is going according to
schedule. As such, this simple phrase be on time comes with many positives if
followed correctly. There are many obvious reasons as to why being on time is
important. Just by showing up on time it shows that you have the maturity,
responsibility and professionalism. It shows that you re a hard worker and that you
re ready to get the job done. As well, it makes you reliable to take on objectives
when they are presented to you. Just being on time will just bring so many positive
benefits, from getting the promotion or even just being noticed. In the Army

Have you ever wondered how or what makes an electric circuit function? A fact
that many people don t realize is that almost every electric circuit can be analyzed
with three very important laws. Those laws are Kirchoff s Current Law, Kirchoff s
Voltage Law, and Ohm s Law. With some practice and the above stated laws in your
tool bag, you can feel assured that you too can analyze electric circuits with the best
of them. However, before we get into the nitty gritty of defining and using these laws,
I recommend that you first connect to the links that offer a little historical
information about the two men that defined these fundamental laws for electric
circuit analysis. Gustav Robert Kirchoff was a German physicist born on March 12,...

Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm determined that the current that flows
through a wire is proportional to its cross sectional area and inversely proportional
to its length. Using the results of his experiments, Georg Simon Ohm was able to
define the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. These
fundamental relationships are of such great importance, that they represent the
true beginning of electrical circuit analysis. Unfortunately, when Ohm published
his finding in 1827, his ideas were dismissed by his colleagues. Ohm was forced to
resign from his high school teaching position and he lived in poverty and shame.
However, his research efforts gained allot of support outside of Germany. In 1849,
Georg Simon Ohm was finally recognized for his efforts by being appointed as a
professor at the University of Munich. First Kirchoff s Current Law. Kirchoff s
Current law can be stated in words as the sum of all currents flowing into a node is
zero. Or conversely, the sum of all currents leaving a node must be zero. As the image
below demonstrates, the sum of currents Ib, Ic, and Id, must equal the total current in
Ia. Current flows through wires much like water flows through pipes. If you have a
definite amount of water entering a closed pipe system, the amount of water that
enters the system must equal the amount of water that exists the system. The number
of branching pipes does not change the
54. Summary Of The Other America By Michael Harrington
After World War II, The United States remained as one of the two superpowers in
the world. Shortly after the war, the American economy began to prosper and this
lasted for a few decades. The consumer culture rose, the size of the middle class
increased, and there was an increasing number of people moving out of cities into
suburbs. However, not everyone was able to live this way. An estimated twenty two
percent of the American population still lived in poverty. Although the standard of
living increased during this time, many factors led to the unequal distribution of
wealth in society. Racism determined housing, Occupancy determined economic
status, and education determined social status. Michael Harrington s, The Other
Americaclearly depicts these problems in America s affluent society and how
many people were left in the dark. In the primary source, The Other America by
Michael Harrington which was published as a book in 1961, it is clearly evident
that Harrington is deeply passionate about those who live in poverty and are left to
overcome problems placed before them alone. Harrington s main idea is that
although America seemed to be enjoying a golden age in capitalism, there is still
another side to this truth. The other side that lives in the darkness and are unable to
overcome their place in life. According to Harrington, The failures, the unskilled, the
disabled, the aged, and the minorities are right there, across the tracks, where they
have always been. But

Institution: City and State: Date: Introduction NGN Co. is one of the leading and
fastest growing online consulting corporations in the biosphere specializing in the
telecommunications and networking industry (Plunkett, 2014). Based on the
dynamism with which technology is advancing, the number of expected and the often
set goals are increasing which must be achieved in an attempt to keep the company
up and running. One of the major areas that need proper attention and updating is the
networking department. Maintaining the highest level of dynamism and security in
the integrated network is critical especially with the recent developments in
technology (Lavan, et.al, 2007). Further, the company has recently experienced
growth in their customer base and size and as such increasing the possible challenges
most likely to face the network. As such, it would be necessary for the company to
develop a more integrative network architecture design to continue enjoying the
positive growth both currently and in the days to come. This paper seeks to present a
more concrete network architecture design that improves on the current network
infrastructure of NGN Co. to integrate the most recent wireless technologies for
better and more reliable connectivity within the organization and to the outside world
