2. The Value Of Nature In The Man Who Killed The Deer
Pivotal to their tribal heritage, the Pueblos value the natural world above all else. The native people
feel a living connection with nature; in which the Pueblo find their complete peace through the bare
granite face of the mountain , the sacred tribal lake , or the deep turquoise lake of life offering the
ecocentric beings comfort (6 7). Waters novel The Man Who Killed the Deer opens with the nature
calling a strong Pueblo Indian into the woods. The honorable character hears Grandfather coyote and
Grandfather Crow call out to him, asking him to leave his home and come to the forest (17). By
listening to the heart of the mountains , synonymous to the heart of [his] body , he saves a man s life
(17). Truly, the deep pulse of the mountain and the pulse of his own blood [...] beat together as one
(7). Palemon s experience with nature sets the tone of the novel: the Pueblo value nature, tradition,
and their tribe above all else. The ecocentrism in Pueblo Culture values balance in nature over any
other relationship: if nature lies in peace, then life remains balanced. In The Man who Killed the Deer
by Frank Waters, the author influences the reader to think like a Pueblo tribe member by using the
Pueblo s value of nature to describe the protagonist and his wife.
Waters represents Martiniano s uncertainty between his Pueblo community and the white men from
his school life through his struggles with the natural world. Martiniano s battle with the outdoor world

3. Ludwig Van Beethoven ( 1770-1827 )
Introduction
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 1827) was a German composer, pianist and a key figure in the evolution
of Classical music to Romanticism. While he is known as a key figure in the musical world, he faced
the challenge of losing his hearing within the last 10 years of his life.
History
Born in the city of Bonn, Germany to Maria Magdalena and Johann van Beethoven. Naturally gifted
in the field of music since a young age, he was first taught by his alcoholic father, who was rumored to
have, flogged, locked in the cellar and deprived of sleep for extra hours of practice, (bio.com) and,
made to stand at the keyboard, was often in tears, (worldofbeethoven.com)before being taught by
several other famous teachers: Court organist Gilles van den Eeden, Tobias Friedrich Pfeiffer, who
taught Beethoven the piano, and Franz Rovantini, a relative, who instructed him in playing the violin
and viola. After 1779, Beethoven started his studies under Christian Gottlob Neefe, a renowned opera
composer and conductor. Ludwig was also known to have been a close friend of prolific Austrian
composer Joseph Haydn and intended to study with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Music
Beethoven s music, which was broken up into three periods, also reflected his hearing loss.
His Early Period music, which contained higher notes, had a number of was known for a number of
famous pieces, including Symphony No. 1 and 2, Opus 18 and several piano sonatas, including Piano
Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13, or

4. The Role Of Kidnapping In Iraq
In July of 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. His rule, lasting throughout the Iran Iraq
and Gulf War, left thousands of people dead and his country in despair. The nationally owned banks
that were put under his control were left unable to pay their debts after the high cost of war, only
creating more problems. Terrorist groups, such as Al Qaeda and ISIS, emerged from the violence and
desperation, becoming prominent in the country. Hussein was suspected of holding nuclear weaponry
and was known to be involved with terrorist organizations, which in turn gained support from his
followers. These terror groups gained momentum due to their economic benefits, and continue to
prosper even after the death of Hussein. This impassioned ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

what make up the central beliefs of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS. They use their religious

6. Definition Of Beauty In American Culture
It s human nature to desire to be perceived as beautiful, but who determines what beauty is or looks
like? The Merriam Webster dictionary defines beauty as the quality of being physically attractive;
qualities a person possesses that gives pleasure to the senses or the mind (Merriam Webster). The
definition of beauty can vary greatly between cultures and countries. We ll explore the similarities and
differences of beauty in Asian and American cultures. The concept of beauty in most Asian countries
is identified within Caucasian (Anglo Saxon) standards. Many Asian women are unaware of the fact
that this standard of beauty was shaped by the influences of Caucasian standards on their society. A
beautiful Asian woman is described as thin, pale skinned, black or brown hair, and dark brown eyes.
Modern Asian women often seek to have blonde hair and colored eyes which further personifies
Caucasian beauty. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In Thailand, it s very common to see people outside wearing hats, long sleeves, and pants in the
middle of summer. This isn t because Thailand summers are cool and brisk (we have very hot and
humid summers), but rather because many people in Thailand want to avoid sunlight at all costs to
prevent darker skin. There is a huge market in Thailand for whitening skin creams and sun protection.
Darker skin is usually associated with poorer, lower class individuals, while lighter skin represents
beauty, wealth, and luxury. A primary reason for wanting lighter skin has been the influences
Caucasian beauty has had on Asian culture. Oddly enough, this definition of lighter skin being more

is more gangs attached to another. Once the wall is poured and set the form can be striped and if the

8. Duroplasty Essay
TYPE 1 CHIARI MALFORMATION Duroplasty or Not INTRODUCTION Since the description of
malformations of the hindbrain, there has been a very keen interest in attempting to accurately define
its etiology and determine its optimal treatment. Appropriate and adequate treatment will depend on
understanding the pathophysiology of the entity. Uncertainty over the etiology of the Chiari
malformation has led to debate and controversy of the optimal surgical management of the condition.
Various surgical approaches have been proposed, however the debate as to whether duroplasty is
required is still active. CASE A 31 year old male presented to the outpatient department of the
University Hospital of the West Indies with a one year history of weakness of the upper limbs that had
been affecting his function at school. He was also complaining of headaches that were located mostly

9. Targeted Killing History
With an eye on the future, and another on protecting the inherent freedoms of the citizens of the
United States presently, the U.S. government has employed and advanced a series of targeted killing
programs within the last quarter century. These programs are aimed at targets that present a serious
threat to the security and safety of the United States, and range from drone strikes to the
implementation of tactical teams, with the goal of capturing or killing high valued targets. From this
point forward, this paper will firstly address the nature and definition of targeted killings, then briefly
outline the history and current implementation of these programs, and finally, most importantly, focus
on the future potential and viability of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For the purposes of this paper, the history of targeted killings will begin with the modern role of
political assassinations near the end of the twentieth century, as they loosely fall under the previously
established definition for target killings. In response to public outcry regarding post Watergate
revelations that CIA organized and orchestrated a series of assassination attempts on the life of Cuban
President Fidel Castro, then President Gerald Ford issued Executive Order 11905. This executive
order, under section 5(g) entitled Prohibition on Assassination, states that, No employee of the United
States Government shall engaged in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination. Both succeeding
presidents, Carter and Reagan, affirmed the assassination prohibition; and as there has yet to be a
piece of legislation that overrides it, it still remains in place. This prohibition is critical in a legal
context because it provided the founding directive that specifically precluded targeted killings.
However, administrations ranging as far back as Reagan, and as recent as today s, have both stated
that such directives do not apply when the United States is acting in self defense, such as in the
proposed cases of the bombing the home of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the 1980s, by
the Reagan administration, or missile strikes on the

10. The World On The Terrorism
When looking at the terrorism that ISIS has endued it has become very evident that a solution needs to
be drawn into action. In my opinion the only way to take down this organization is to begin to treat it
like the state that it is. A state is defined as: a nation or territory considered as an organized political
community under one government. ISIS has not only gained territory in Syria, Iraq and Istanbul but
according to New York Times columnist, Tim Arango, ISIS is building a capacity to govern. In 2014,
ISIS formally informed the world on their establishment of a caliphate. This caliphate is governed
under Islamic beliefs and rulers. They have begun issuing identification cards for residents,
promulgating fishing guidelines to preserve stocks, and requiring that cars carry tool kits for
emergencies (Arango). Believe it or not, ISIS has been a state for two years, regardless of their lack of
legitimacy, their consistent threat of violence against any of those who oppose their beliefs allows
them not only to get things done, but get them done efficiently. Whether we want to accept it, ISIS is a
state, and we need to treat it as such.
On the 29th of June in 2014, ISIS announced that a caliphate has been establish and the caliph was to
be Caliph Ibrahim. The saying goes, In order to kill a snake, one must cut off its head. The head of
ISIS is the caliphate in Iraq/Syria. I believe that collapsing the caliphate will collapse the organization.

This poem relates the cyclical nature of our economy to each individual life coming full circle.
Throughout history, the economy booms and times become prosperous, such as the Roaring 20 s.
However, the economy can go bust and ruin lives, such as the Great Depression, just as quickly. This
illustrates how the loop of the economy and a human s life are related. This also shows that the
balance in this universe cannot be broken or changed. This poem describes being young and having
energy, which would be considered the upward swing of your life and the times of a developing
economy. Then there is a state of prosperity where one reaches their prime, which would be being at
the top of the circular swing and when the economy is booming. And then begins the process of
having less energy, not being as prosperous, start of aging; all of which would be considered the
downward swing and the economy going bust. And ultimately, death is the lowest point of the swing.
This whole cycle then begins all again, but with another life this time. It is not surprising that if the
timeline of humanity, then certain aspects such as the economy also follow the circular pattern too.
This theme is a double edged sword. While it is comforting to know that rough times will not last
forever and humanity will pull itself up, it is also depressing to know nothing good in life will always
stay the same, it will eventually all burn down for it to be rebuilt

13. Religious Expression In Public Schools
For many years, schools have struggled to decide on whether to give students the freedom of religious
expression at school. This difficult topic is especially prevalent in many public schools today. Most
public schools comply with the separation of church and state by instating rules against any kind of
religious expression, essentially mandating conformity among students in terms of religious
expression. Some schools, however, have decided to place no restrictions on religious expression. This
serves to promote individual freedom among students. Even if it may seem that schools strongly differ
when it comes to religious expression, schools do have something in common pertaining to this issue.
They all believe that the unique decision they ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
After all, it is the school s job to educate our future generation so they are equipped for a world
containing a multitude of religious aspects even if doing so in an indirect manner. Providing students
the freedom to practice whichever religion they choose restricts feelings of pressure to withhold their
religious expression; something they would have to withhold in the name of conformity at some
public schools. As students become inevitably educated about religion through religious expression
around them, they steadily become less intolerant of other religions besides their own. The students
become accepting of the reality that we live in where many different religious beliefs exist among
people in all areas of life. This effect closely mirrors the attitude that these students will have towards
religion in the real world. Not only does exposure to religious expression benefit the students and the
school, but it furthermore benefits the world as a whole by moving the future generation away from
religious intolerance. This creates a world where people can be comfortable and sure in their religion
due to the lack of intolerance directed towards them. Currently, however, religiously motivated hate
crimes are on the rise. In 2004, about 10 percent of all hate crimes were religiously motivated−
compared to 28 percent today (Jackson 1). This is an example of religious intolerance in today s world
which can be remedied by educating the future generation about religion through allowing religious
expression at school. The religious tolerance that is subsequently developed among these students is

14. Theology of Atonement and Salvation
The view and understanding of atonement is one of the widest in Christian theology. Unlike the
dogmas that define the theology of trinity and incarnation and bring unity to Christian understanding,

The subjective theories emphasise the effect of the cross and atonement on the believers and their
response. This means that an emphasis on Christ s death on the cross and it being an example
for/influence on humanity is classed as subjective theories. Objective theories put stress on what the
atonement achieved at the event of the cross, outside individuals. This means that any view that sees
Jesus crucifixion as payment by God for our sins is classed as an objective theory.
The first theory I will be looking at is the Ransom theory. The ransom theory is one of the earliest
theories of atonement that originated with Origen of Alexandria. This view orientated from Mark
10:24 and Matthew 20:28, where it states that the Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for
many. This word ransom was a familiar one for the early Church as it bring up Old Testament imagery
as it was a word use of God s rescue of Israel from Egypt. This theory states that Christ s death on the
cross was a necessary act as a payment to Satan for our release. Due to Adam s sin, we were captured
legally by Satan through the bonds of original sin. Therefore, in order to secure our freedom justly, a
price needed to be paid to Satan. Thus Jesus died on the cross to be that payment. Gregory of Nyssa
explains this theory in terms of God fishing for humanity using Jesus humanity as bait.
This view creates a dualism where it places Satan on the same field as God as He is bargaining with

In her poem, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou The bird sings because it wants her

choice. I also think she can t do nothing by herself in the movie. I think people should know this

but the wife stands up for the black people for me that was a good choice because black people are
people they are not toys. Odessa is related to the caged bird because she can t go to places. This
supports my claim because people right now are not locked up for slaves. This also supports my claim

A social movement is defined as a group of diffusely organized people or organizations striving
toward a common goal relating to human society or social change, or the organized activities of such a
group. However, the concept of a social movement cannot be confined to a simple explanation.
Scholars have developed various theories regarding processes that influence a social movement. Such
theories include the collective behavior theory, resource mobilization theory, and political process
model. Moreover, there are various factors other than a group s grievances that cause the creation of a

and participation within a social movement. To ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, social movements can, evolve into integrated structures and new established forms of
behavior. The weakness of the collective behavior theory also involves the thought that social
movements can develop from basic to more structured (Harper and Leicht 146). Not all social
movements will reach a stage of stability, similarly to the beginning stages that include rumors, mobs,
and protests, more developed social movements can be short lived (Harper and Leicht 147). Resource
mobilization theory in contrast to the prior theory previously discussed, focuses on the, role of power
and power struggles in mobilizing people for collective action (Harper and Leicht 149). The theory
provides trends within America during the 1960s that led to an increase in social movement activity.
Some trends mentioned are support both moral and monetary from organizations such as churches and
the role of mass media and its coverage of domestic social problems rather than coverage on
communism. However, the theory places the most emphasis on, the development of professional
SMOs (Social Movement Organizers). The SMOs that developed during the 1960s were run by
bureaucratic organizers in comparison to older SMOs that were run by charismatic leaders or

of his existence is too complicated and often, it is he, who narrates a different story every time which
in turn makes him even harder comprehend because you don t know at one point, what to believe and
what not to believe. He told Batman in Alan Moore s graphic novel: The Killing Joke Sometimes I

19. Cervical Cancer

C. Rath
Cervical cancer is considered to be a slow growing reproductive disease that affects thousands of
women in the United States annually. This particular type of cancer forms within and/or on the tissue
of the cervix. The cervix is part of the female reproductive tract, which connects the uterus to the
vagina. Cervical cancer begins when surface level cells on the cervix divide uncontrollably causing
cervical lesions, which if left untreated can progress into cancer. If not found in the early stages,
cervical cancer can spread from the surface of the cervix, deep into the tissue of the cervix as well as
the surrounding tissues within the vagina and uterus (Slaz,
2010). It is estimated that there is an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Engaging in smoking and a weak immune system can also increases one s risk of developing cervical
cancer because the body s ability to fight infection and disease is lessened
(Lindau, 2001). Furthermore, tobacco products contain numerous known carcinogens, which
physically affect an individual s overall health as well. Lastly, the lack of regular PAP smear testing
can be crucial in determining whether or not a woman will develop cervical cancer.
Annual PAP smears are extremely important because this is not only an opportunity for a woman to
have the capability to monitor her own sexual health, but it is also a chance for physicians to ensure
that no abnormalities are present.
In the early stages of cervical cancer there may not always be noticeable symptoms, which reinforces
why women should receive annual PAP smears. The PAP smear itself is a procedure where a

20. The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tom Ripley is a talented imitator, it seems the only person Tom cannot quite comprehend is himself.
Ripley isolates himself from people by being non isolated, he finds himself in very social situations,
yet he does not quite understand how one should be in social interactions. However people find
themselves attracted to him because he is so great at acting and reading people and learning how to
manipulate them into believing that he is not actually socially alienated, he somehow becomes the life
of the party. Tom Ripley was such a fantastic impostor he would sometimes find himself lost in one of
his characters that he was putting on. In the film it starts with him playing the piano at a wedding
filling in for a young man that went to Princeton, after meeting Mr. Greenleaf he kept up the same
character from Princeton. Tom had been very friendly last summer with a Princeton junior who had
talked of nothing but Princeton, so that Tom had finally pumped him for more and more, foreseeing a
time when he might be able to use the information (Highsmith, 21). Ripley was always remembering
information from different people he met assuming that if need be he could pull out that information
in sticky situations. One thing about Tom Ripley was that he found himself in sticky situations more
often then some, this left him feeling paranoid that people were after him at all times. This is no way
to live life, especially when the way you want to live your life is behind the curtains.

Current process of NICE Technology Appraisal:
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is an executive non departmental public
body of the Department of Health in the United Kingdom. NICE offers various services such as
development of scientific and clinical guidelines, quality standards and information services for public
health1 etc.
Among these services, NICE also carries out technology appraisals known as multi technology

Technology appraisals are recommendations on the use of new and existing medicines and treatments

So QALY gained would mean same for all diseases and Incremental cost effective ratio would be the
additional money required to gain per QALY. The threshold is currently set between £20,000 £30,000
per QALY4,5 which means if the new medicine/product s ICER value is below this threshold this will
be recommended by NICE as cost effective and if it is higher it will not be recommended.
Drawbacks with the current approach of QALY:
Current approach by NICE is though very useful in terms of getting a quantitative assessment however
the QALY approach does have some drawbacks. Some of these drawbacks are listed below:
No room to assess the innovation of a new product
Subjective nature of scales to assess QALY (EQ 5D),
No assessment of burden of illness
No assessment of negative impact on society
No assessment of wider societal benefit
Proposal to Modify the current approach
A proposal for NICE to modify their current approach is vital in order to improve the process. One key
thing would be to assess the degree of innovation of the new product/device/medicine. Let s review

24. Convergent Evolution Of Human Evolution
A surprisingly recent instance of human evolution has been detected among the peoples of East Africa.
It is the ability to digest milk in adulthood, conferred by genetic changes that occurred as recently as
3,000 years ago, a team of geneticists has found.The finding is a striking example of a cultural
practice the raising of dairy cattle feeding back into the human genome. It also seems to be one of the
first instances of convergent human evolution to be documented at the genetic level. Convergent
evolution refers to two or more populations acquiring the same trait independently.
Throughout most of human history, the ability to digest lactose, the principal sugar of milk, has been
switched off after weaning because the lactase enzyme that breaks the sugar apart is no longer needed.
But when cattle were first domesticated 9,000 years ago and people later started to consume their milk
as well as their meat, natural selection would have favored anyone with a mutation that kept the
lactase gene switched on.
Such a mutation is known to have arisen among an early cattle raising people, the Funnel Beaker
culture, which flourished 5,000 to 6,000 years ago in north central Europe. People with a persistently
active lactase gene have no problem digesting milk and are said to be lactose tolerant.
Almost all Dutch people and 99 percent of Swedes are lactose tolerant, but the mutation becomes

28. Homeostatic Response Paper
The intensity of exercise regulates the homeostatic response on ventilation. Each person exercises
differently and their bodies respond to exercise differently as well. Whether it is an athlete that trains
everyday, the friend that exercises regularly or a patient that is diagnosed with cardiac failure that tries
to exercise regularly, people approach exercise differently. Yet, the common theme of exercise is that
the body consumes an increased amount of oxygen as a metabolic change in response to CO2
production. As numerous studies have shown, as the intensity of exercise increases, metabolic acidosis
occurs where there is a build up of lactic acid in the muscles that is called the anaerobic threshold.
Studies that expound on aerobic and anaerobic ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Numerous studies showed that low to moderate exercise affect ventilation rate and depth. The PCO2
and PO2 levels are usually normal in normal individuals. The intensities of exercises determine how
ventilation is regulated in an individual. Heavy work always induces lactic acid build up which we call
the anaerobic threshold. The anaerobic threshold is useful to determine physical aptitude and severities
in cardiopulmonary diseases. There are still numerous possibilities that anaerobic threshold can
determine and studies are still ongoing to see what we can determine from lactic acid build up. Further
studies should include different noninvasive ways to analyze anaerobic threshold besides maximal
exercise. So far, this limits the capability of using anaerobic threshold in tests since the test is
physically tolling and could have unintended side effects. Even though it is currently unanswered,
ways to use anaerobic threshold are being studied and

33. The Influence of Interest Groups on Public Policy
The Influence of Interest Groups Introduction An interest group is an association of individuals or
organizations who share ideas and/or attitudes and attempt to influence public policy without trying to
be elected. These groups may also be known as advocacy groups, pressure groups, or lobbying groups.
Berman and Murphy (2011) note that American democracy is influenced by a number of well
organized groups designed to persuade government policy toward a particular outcome. Although
many distrust these groups the reality is they are a link between the public and policy makers. Interest
groups are formed for a number of reasons. Economic interest groups encompass organizations that
speak for big business while trade associations may represent entire industries. Public interest groups,
government interest groups, religious interest groups, civil rights interest groups, ideological interest
groups, and single issue interest groups all try to sway their influence over public policy. Many of
these groups make their national headquarters in Washington D.C. to be near legislators and policy
makers (Burstein Linton, 2002). The number of interest groups in the United States has grown quickly
over the last half century. From 1959 to 2001 the Encyclopedia of Associations shows increase from
about 6,000 to 22,000 reflecting a growing diversity in interest groups. While trade groups once

control systems (MAC) have limitations. However, there is limited ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
A focus mainly on conventional financial and non financial based measurement and control is
considered too narrow in scope (Otley, 2003, 2001). There is an increasing expectation that MAC
systems should be innovative in design, flexible in operation, and should enable rapid organisational
change in response to capricious environmental circumstances (Otley, 1994; Otley et al, 1995; Otley,
2001; Nixon Burns, 2005). This implies an extension beyond traditional ideas of management
accounting and organisational control.
The research presented in this paper examines the interface between MAC and organisational strategy
by means of a case study of a New Zealand manufacturing business operating in a turbulent
environment. Key findings relate to the important role of an organic approach in the development and
support of a strategic focus to MAC. A relatively small privately owned business was selected for the
research because it has been suggested that, unlike large public corporations, such organisations often
have strong visionary management and may adopt a broader and more inventive management
accounting focus (Mitchell Reid, 2000; Dillard et al, 2005). Further, such organisations could be seen
as potential innovators in relation to MAC practices.

ntroduction
Why did the United States introduce chemical weapons and defoliant agents into the Vietnam War?
The United States Military introduced chemical weaponry in their attempts to defeat communist forces
in Vietnam. Because of the nature of the terrain, which consisted mostly of dense jungle, the US
Armed Forces were unable to effectively target their enemy, the Vietcong.
The introduction of chemical weapons, notably defoliant agents such as Agent Orange, enabled the US
military to clear large areas of land that had previously been jungle, exposing Vietcong hideouts as
well as threatening the Vietnamese food supplies. In this way the tactic was very successful. However,
the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam had other unintended consequences that eventually saw the
US Army withdraw from the conflict. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

I began by trying to successfully create a therapeutic alliance with Shawna. I knew that she had issues
with trust, making it extremely important to establish a good collaborative relationship with the client
(Wedding Corsini, 2014, p. 35). Together we prioritized what needed to be done into manageable
pieces so that Shawna could feel successful and empowered to continue moving forward. We also
started with easy tangible pieces of intervention to eliminate barriers so the crisis felt more
manageable, and her anxiety decreased with each goal that was accomplished. I asked permission
before proceeding with any step of intervention. It was an important aspect of building trust to
empower Shawna to lead, while I provided support.
Crisis Intervention Plan
Predispositioning began with a phone call to Shawna s hospital room. It was imperative to connect
with Shawna on an emotional level, so she knew my intentions were to help. I also wanted to clarify
the process so she would be comfortable during the initial intake. I shared with her who I was, where
the referral came from, and what services I would be able to provide. I asked permission to visit her at
the hospital to enroll her in the program. Shawna agreed to let me visit and I let her know that I
understood she felt like time was running out, and to reduce her anxiety I would like to visit as soon as
possible.
Next, we defined the crisis using the intake

40. What Did Those Feet In Ancient Time Mean
Figurative Meaning of And Did Those Feet in Ancient Time In And Did Those Feet in Ancient Time,
William Blake conveys through his narrator a short poem of aggression and of a drive to build the city
of Jerusalem in England; however, figuratively, Blake writes of he sees as the unbelievable time that
the young Jesus of Nazareth and Joseph of Arimathea visited England. Using figuratively language,
imagery, and symbolism, Blake describes this and how the narrator wishes to fight in the word of the
Bible and usher in Heaven on Earth. Throughout the poem, the narrator uses multiple types of
figurative language. Such figurative language includes plenty of metaphors, many biblical and Greek
mythological allusions, personification, euphemism, and alliterations. The figurative language changes
the entire meaning of the text. In the poem, the narrator is literally becoming aggressive and wants to
build the city of Jerusalem in England. However, with knowledge of figurative language, the reader
can understand that the narrator speaks in metaphors and Biblical allusions. The poem is about Jesus
of Nazareth and Joseph of Arimathea s visit to Glastonbury, England, and how the narrator wishes to
fight against blasphemous writings, against the wants of the body as opposed to the soul, and for the
ideas of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, figuratively these lines are a series of allusions to Greek mythology and possibly to the
Bible. The Bow of burning gold alludes to Apollo s golden bow that shoots burning arrows, and the
arrows of desire refer to Cupid s arrows of love, which is ironic because of the contrast and
similarities in the two s arrows. The Spear alludes to Zeus s lightning bolts and his ability to make the
clouds unfold. The Chariot of fire is the most curious because it can allude to both the chariot of
Apollo and the chariot that created the path to Heaven for Elijah in the

41. Dangers Of Technology And The Internet
With great power come great responsibility as famously said by Uncle Ben from Spiderman.
Nowadays, people have smartphones and personal devices that allow for us to escape from reality
while also giving us powerful functionality tools like alarms, calendars, and access to Google. We, as
a modern tech savvy society, must be aware and wise when using technology and the Internet since
the dangers are everywhere. As a result, society has become overly dependant with using technology
within their daily lives, so much that it affects children, can lead to online dangers, and creates an
unnecessary obsession among the users. First of all, excessive exposure to technology can be
detrimental to children. Some people may say that children play and watch educational related
activities online, but in reality, most children throw a tantrum to get the smartphone to play on an app
or watch YouTube. For example, one dilemma also that technology can cause an unnecessary addition
to a fantasy world, as seen in The Veldt when Peter and Wendy, the children, become lost and
obsessed with a virtual world in the nursery. Peter and Wendy think the fantasy world, and they make
the African Veldt come to life, yet this highlights they spent so much time that it became real. This
shows the effects of the overuse of technology being created in a virtual world leads to a damaged
psychosis when the children cannot tell what is real and what is not. In addition, children these days

42. Ridar Research Paper
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE RADAR TECHNOLGY
The outcome of the First World War (28th July 1914 11th November 1918), also known as the war to
end all wars (Wells, 1961), was not enough to end all problems that caused it, therefore there was a
call for a Second World War (1st of September 1939 2nd of September 1945). This war (World War 2)
between the Allies and Axial power block had a very important role in the impact of technology
during this period. As tension grew between opposing forces, so did its technological surroundings,
and with days leading up to the war, different proposal of new war technologies were requested by the
British Air Ministry. One of these technologies a RADIO DETECTING AND RANGING DEVICE

The Battle of France is over, the Battle of Britain is about to begin (Churchill 1940). Following Hitler
s threat, the RAF was ordered by Winston Churchill (British Army Officer) to prepare for war. This
paper reviews the contribution of radar technology towards the victory of the Royal Air Force (RAF)
over the Germans during the Battle of Britain (10th of July 1940 31st of October 1940), as this is a
topic that has begun to gain attention from contemporary researchers, but for which little factual
evidence exists. Much of the research relating to this topic leans towards the idea that the RAF
soldiers were victorious due to the advantage of fighting on home turf and the diversity of their pilots,
which is inadequate in a full examination of the war conditions. More importantly, two major factors
that motivate the research undertaken in this paper, is the fact that the Battle of Britain was the first
major campaign fought entirely by air forces, and the RAF s victory marked the first defeat of Hitler s
military force. Given the importance of this battle and the introduction of RADAR technology during
the period, one might wonder if the RADAR technology led the Royal Air Force

44. Copernicus Research Paper
The Copernicus revolution set way to a major shift in how we see the universe. The previous
understanding that the sun, moon and all other celestial objects in our solar system revolved around
the sun went unchallenged for thirteen hundred years before Copernicus suggested a radically
different way of thinking about the universe. Copernicus suggested that it was not the stars which
seemed to be orbiting the earth but the earth itself that was moving. He suggested that the earth
constantly rotated on its own axis every twenty four hours. It turns out the movement of the heavens
(Russell par.6) had been one huge illusion caused by the constant moving of those that observed the
night sky while studying our solar system. As controversial as this ... Show more content on

Aristarchus of Samos wrote a book which included several hypothesis that lead them to the outcome
that the universe is immensely greater than what humans believed. Other hypothesis state that the sun
among with fixed stars remain still, the Earth will continue to orbit the sun in a circular circumference,
and that sphere of the unmoving stars is so significant that the circle in which the Earth is supposed to
revolve in carries a great distance to the unmoving stars and the spheres center absorbs its surface.
Aristarchus hypothesis increased the belief for there to be a distinguishable parallax with the
unmoving stars common to one another as the Earth revolves around the sun. Scholars from all over
the world could have come out with their farfetched theories and hypothesis sooner except that many
were in the same position as Copernicus and were afraid of the condemnation, disapproval, scorn, and
controversy they would receive from religious authority figures and religious scholars. After a couple
generations had passed and Copernicus theory had become accepted worldwide, Copernicus had
gained copious amounts of influential scholars that defended his theories in hopes to continue
discovering more about the universe. Among these scholars was Galileo Galilei who served to
improve the heliocentric model even further by using a telescope, which he created that made objects
twenty times larger, to help him resolve lingering issues within the heliocentric model as well as
discovering characteristics regarding the heavens that double as support for heliocentrism. Galileo s
discoveries didn t stop there, he went on to discover moons orbiting Jupiter, the faults and
shortcomings of the moons surface and spots on the sun. These discoveries helped diminish the
previous understandings that all planets were unlike Earth that appeared as flawless orbs. Even though
Galileo made countless world changing
