Great Expectations And Relate These To The Novel As A Whole Essay

Discuss the Significance Of The Events, Which Occur In Chapter Eighteen of Great Expectations And Relate These To The Novel As A Whole I shall now discuss the significance of chapter eighteen, and how the effects of this chapter relate to the whole novel, Great Expectations. In Great Expectations, the names of the characters symbolize their personalities. For example, Biddy is a very timid person who will do your bidding obligingly. Then Pip is a small and insignificant sounding name, just like the actual character is. Jaggers, is a man with sharp wit, and features, he has a bullying manner, which can cut you up in front of an audience, just like a jagged knife. Pip on his first encounter with Jaggers comments on how the smell of scented soap came from his hand. This is symbolism. One does not wash ones hands unless they are dirty, and since Jaggers is a criminal lawyer, they must be prone to doing illegal or immoral acts, in order to save his clients. Hence, he always has to wash his hands, in a sense, so that he is not caught by the courts, and found guilty of anything. To prevent any legal trouble, Jaggers puts a lot of thought into the way he phrases his dealings with clients. He makes sure that he does not give any personal opinions, and makes sure that the clients remember the dealings as he wants them to, so if they are questioned, then his name does not come up for recommending, or ordering the client to commit any actions of moral or legal wrongdoing. For example, when he is dealing with Pip, he makes sure that Pip rephrases his statement, ‘†¦ much obliged for his (Jaggers) recommendation†¦ ‘ since Jaggers recommending anything, can be counted as being involved with the crime. He makes sure that Pip uses the word mention instead. This is how Jaggers makes sure his hands are clean of any dirt, because he ‘never recommends anybody’ Jaggers job is a performance for him. He is a performer, and a better one then Wopsle, which is proved when he battles with him about the highly popular murder. One of Jaggers performances is with his handkerchief that he pulls out whenever he wants a person to confess some knowledge to him. This is because it makes the audience want to confess before he sneezes, it is a dramatic performance, and has aided Jaggers many times. This tells us a bit about the justice system in those times, where defending criminals, and getting them off the death sentence was a performance of techniques, and bullying the jury into letting off the criminals. This shows how the justice system in the days was not efficient at putting the real criminals out of the streets, since a few dramatic movements and a bullying of the jury could sway the scales of justice the wrong way. Dickens is a great social critic, and he criticizes the inefficiency of the justice system in those days. The justice system would be less harsh on criminals who were gentleman, then on criminals who were not. If you knew the right people, wore the right clothes, and looked the right part, you were more likely to get away with the crime. Also if you were a gentleman this made you less reason to have commit a crime in the first place(in the judges eyes), and you’ll get a lighter sentence then if you were ‘coarse and common’. A perfect example of this is the Magwitch/Compeyson trial. Although it was actually Compeyson that led Magwitch aside, because he knew the right people and because he was a gentleman, he managed to pass most of the blame onto Magwitch. Compeyson got a sentence of seven years, and Magwitch fourteen years, just because Compeyson was a ‘gentleman. In chapter 18, when Jaggers is discussing with Pip and Joe the situation of Pip having Great Expectations, he offers Joe a compensation (Wemmick’s property) ‘for the loss of his (Pip) services’ Joe denies the compensation, but Jaggers, who is completely, shocked of this news keeps on badgering him, because he thinks Joe is a fool not to accept the money. He also says, ‘Brag is a good dog, but that holdfast is better’ which means that Jaggers is telling Joe, to say he doesn’t want the compensation is nothing, but to actually keep by the word is something else. Joe to everyone’s surprise gets up in a mood of rage, to fight Jaggers, for badgering him in his own home. This shows us that Joe’s character is un-materialistic, and to be offered money is not something he is pleased by, as a replacement for his friend. It also shows us that Joe is not the type of man who can be bullied in his own home, by a man like Jaggers. Jaggers thinks Joe is a fool for not accepting the compensation offered. This shows us that the type of clients Jaggers deals with are probably materialistic, and not very moralistic, and maybe Jaggers himself has become like this by working with those types, and to meet someone who is noble and honest, like Joe, must be quite rare and surprising to him. Pip has ‘Great Expectations’ of becoming a gentleman, of getting out of his social class, ever since Estella had criticized him of his course hands. Although, when Pip is about to finally get his wish he starts to become unknowingly dissatisfied, he feels he does not want to leave his old life too, subconsciously he will miss the love and care he has received from Joe, and newly from Biddy. In some ways, his great expectations have failed, and shall continue to as his life progresses. Also, Pip starts to become snobbish, and disloyal to his ‘people’ He accuses the caring people he has known his whole life, to act coarse and common if he were to go and show them his gentlemen clothes. This tells us about Pip’s character, he is the type who would leave his old friends behind, for a better, more promising life. Although, somewhere in his subconscious Pip feels guilty for these acts, and he suffers because he knows he is acting basely. When the older Pip on reflects the selfish acts he had committed against loved ones when he was young, he criticizes them. When he is discussing with Jaggers about his future life, he reflects on how he was ‘so ready to leave and so unthankful to’ Joe. At the time, Pip was thinking of his future as a Gentleman, of how his Great Expectations will be fulfilled, and he was being selfish at the time, for not being grateful for what Joe had given him so far. Although, elder Pip’s reflection is very different, he realizes his mistakes and says how he sees Joe again, how hurt Joe felt because Pip was going to leave him, how he still feels his strong and faithful arm upon his shoulder as if it had been ‘the rustle of an angels wing! ‘ Another example is when he says to Biddy, ‘You are envious, Biddy, and grudging. You are dissatisfied on account of my rise in fortune, and can’t help showing it. ‘ I think this behavior by Pip is the worst because he thinks that he is superior to Biddy, who is so timid, and caring. The elder Pip criticizes on his actions here, for speaking ‘in a virtuous and superior tone’ When Pip was got his wish to become a gentleman, through Jaggers, he became emotionally blind. Even when Joe and Biddy, congratulated Pip on his fortune of going to become a gentleman; ‘there was a certain touch of sadness in their congratulations that I rather resented. ‘ This really shows how foolhardy and unfeeling Pip was at that time. Since the touch of sadness was actually because they both love Pip, and shall miss him and his company once he is gone. The significance of chapter 18 is great, since it is the chapter where Pip gets his wish to finally become a gentleman. Also, it is where we, the audience, see how emotionally blind, and how focused on the superficial things about a person Pip begins to become. It is where Pip and we are introduced to the bullying figure of Jaggers, and also the foreshadowing hint of Pips unhappiness in his life to come.

John Donne’s Love Poems Essay

John Donne is one of many poets of his time who wrote love poetry. The thing that sets him apart from the others is that he manages to successfully subvert the traditional conventions to his own ends. Each of the secular poems â€Å"The Flea†, â€Å"The Sunne Rising† and â€Å"A Valediction Forbidding Mourning† shows Donne’s verbal dexterity, manipulation of the conventional form and the use of a variety of textual features. For the secular love poem â€Å"The Flea† the conventional form is that the flea is to be used as a symbolism of love. Donne subverts this form and uses the flea for the key point to his argument and to symbolise sex/marriage. In the poem Donne conveys meaning through the rhyming and structure. In each of the three stanza’s the first six lines hold three sets of two rhyming couplets that symbolises the couple (the male and female lover). At the end of stanza’s there is set of three rhymes that is slightly indented which symbolises the union of the flea with the couple. Donne uses hyperbole in line 1, stanza 2 â€Å"†¦three lives in one flea spare†¦Ã¢â‚¬  and again in line 7, stanza 2 where he begins the argument that in killing the flea she commits murder, suicide and sacrilege. This extreme argumentative, exaggeration creates a flow and pace throughout his sustained arguments. The use of religious terminology eg. Cloistered, three live in one flea -holy trinity, sacrilege etc. helps to add an authority from god to the poem and it also elevates the language. Donne also uses repetition line 1, stanza 1†³Ã¢â‚¬ ¦Marke but this flea, and marke in this†¦Ã¢â‚¬ Ã‚  to create a commanding, direct address to the audience. It gives the poem an imperative tone. In this poem the use of rhetorical questions conveys an argumentative tone and in stanza 3, lines 1 and 2 the use of emotive imagery changes the pace of the argument and makes it more personal. Another secular poem, not unlike â€Å"the Flea†, that Donne subverts is called â€Å"The Sunne Rising†. This poem is a â€Å"dawn poem† and the conventional form for such a poem is that the minstrel or lover is sitting outside by the girl’s house serenading the situation of the two lovers as the day breaks. Donne manipulates this form as he places the lover in the girls room and instead of serenading the sun, he curses it. Donne conveys meaning through the structure of the poem. In each stanza the lines are indented or left normal according to what the line talks about. If the lover is talking about things outside the room then the lines are indented. If the lover talks about something inside the room then the lines are left as normal. This creates an expectation as to what will happen in those lines. The last two of the last three stanzas’ has a rhyming couplet symbolising the two lovers. The use of monosyllabic words creates an intense, assertive, masculine tone. The extreme hyperbole and metaphor from stanza 4 lines 1 and 2 â€Å"†¦She is all states, and all princes, I†¦Ã¢â‚¬ supports the tone set by the arrogance used. The pun in line 10, stanza 3 â€Å".. and thou shalt heare all, here in one bed lay†¦Ã¢â‚¬ Ã‚  assists with a flow for the poem and the argument. â€Å"A Valediction Forbidding Mourning† is yet another diverse secular poem by Donne that has been subverted, just as † The Flea† and the † Sunne Rising† had been. The conventional form for a farewell speech is that it should be emotional. Donne manipulates the form by not indulging outbursts or saddens and emotion. The long vowels used eg â€Å"virtuous men†¦twere profanation† subdue the poem and give it a slower pace. The quiet opening of the poem displays alliteration using ms, ns and ss. The light vowels eg. men, friends, breath,  meet etc. go further in subduing the poem. In this poem Donne uses many similes to make his point. In the first stanza he likens the lover’s departure to a death of a virtuous man. This begins his argument convincing his lover that a scene isn’t needed, that their love is beyond separation. Donne contrasts â€Å"the dull sublunary lovers† with his relationship in order to further his argument and create flow for the poem. He also likens their love to gold, the most valuable of the metals. This simile is used to further show the value of their love and to further the argument. The likening of the lovers to a compass is both a paradox and a hyperbole that catches the audience’s attention and creates a startling image. This clever analogy dazzles the audience by its wit and pushes the argument into its last stages. The last analogy of their love is to a circle drawn by the compass. It suggests continuity, perfection, renewal and marriage and finishes the argument with the idea that like the circle that doesn’t end neither will their love. Even within a conventional form it is possible for a clever poet to subvert the conventions. John Donne has done that in three of secular love poems â€Å"the Flea†, â€Å"the Sunne Rising† and â€Å"A Valediction Forbidding Mourning†.

An Analysis of Leadership Models

Models and their Influence on Educational Leadership Pamela Lee University of Phoenix An Analysis of Leadership Models Although there is no conclusive, comprehensive definition of leadership, there has been advances in researching leadership theories that have been uncovered and carried out over the last 200 years. In the late sass, the trait theory permeated the leadership theory. The World War era saw the beginning of the contingency/situation leadership theories of Fiddler, Broom-Yet, and Hershey-Blanchard. In the sass, the research turned toward behavioral leadership theories.Many researchers started to use rating skills and conduct interviews to identify the specific behaviors that leaders engaged in on-the-Job (Wren, 1995). The most recent leadership theories, transactional, and transformational, focus on the relationships between leaders and followers. According to Viola, Wallaby, and Weber, â€Å"Today, the field of leadership focus' not only on the leader, but also the foll owers, peers, supervisors, work setting/context, and culture† (Viola, Wallaby, & Weber, 2009, p. 422). Many of the leadership models have been used in education.The following will be a historical analysis of the trait, behavioral, transactional, and transformational models and their influence on educational leadership over the past 200 years. Close attention will be paid to the evolution of the educational leader (principal) and how his or her roles have changed over time. The scientific study of leadership began in the late sass with the discovery of the traits theory. The common assumption of the time was that certain people were born with the ability to lead, thus making them better leaders than others.Schemers stated, † Those who became leaders were different from those who remained lowers† (Schemers, 1995, p. 83). The goal of trait research was to identify traits that were associated with leadership. The tests measured dominance, masculinity, sensitivity, and physical appearance, to name a few (Schemers, p. 83). During this time, a key leadership role in education was beginning to develop, the principals. As a result of the expansion of education, the one room schoolhouse model with a teacher or master became obsolete.In the sass, grade level schools were established and certain teachers were elevated to the position of â€Å"principal teacher† (Kafka, p. 321). The principal teacher at this time also possessed certain traits. The principal was most always male, who could complete the following clerical and administrative duties that kept the school in order, such as assigning classes, conducting discipline, maintaining the building, taking attendance, and ensuring that school began and ended on time (Kafka, p. 231)t.According to Kafka, These duties brought the principal teacher a degree of authority, as did his role in communicating and answering to the district superintendent, who tended to govern local schools from afar† ( Kafka, 2009, p. 231). Many of these roles matched the traits earlier identified by the scientific studies. The principal was male and showed dominance through authority and could manage and maintain law and order in the school. The role of principal and the type of person who filled this position would not change until the scientific research revealed that traits alone do not determine who should be in leadership positions.In the late sass, Stodgily discovered that â€Å"traits alone do not determine leadership† (Schemers, 1995, p. 84). As a result of Stodgily discovery, new models of leadership were created and researched. One model, behaviorism, researched the behaviors (styles) that a leader would demonstrate in his or her chosen field. Questionnaires such as the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire was used to identify behaviors that leaders engaged in (Schemers, p. 85). In education, the principals role changed as the country went off to war and people feared the fa scist and communist dictatorships.As a result of the changes in the world and new education laws passed, specifically the law that made school compulsory, the principals role changed and evolved. The principals role became a more democratic role. According to Kafka, â€Å"there was a greater expectation that other members of the school community-? including faculty and even students-?would help make decisions and govern the school. In this sense, the principals authority was drawn somewhat from his role as a democratic leader† (Kafka, 2009, p. 325).Principals would have many roles, they would become instructional leaders, and use the professional training they received and the scientific theories they were presumed to have mastered to bring about the very best classroom teaching and learning (Beck & Murphy, 1993, p. 73-76). Principals ere instructed how to manage custodians and cafeteria duties. Principals were expected to demonstrate a democratic leadership style when runnin g his or her school. In the sass, leadership research shifted from situational and contingency models to the transactional and transformational approaches.The transactional approach made popular by the research of Edwin Hollander focused on the leader as the star of the show. The transactional model did not focus on behaviors or specific situation, but on improving an organization through incentives and rewards. One transactional theory, the vertical dyad linkage theory plopped by Green, described how leaders in groups maintain their position through a series of tacit exchange agreements with their members (Schemers, p. 91). The transformational approach in contrast, is based on the interaction of leaders and followers.Bass, Burns, and House became key leaders in the research annals of transformational leadership. According to Cutout, † Genuine transformational is â€Å"socialized† and transcends self-interest for utilitarian or moral reasons. It seeks a convergence of values distinguish genuine from pseudo forms of transformational leadership† (Cutout, 2002, p. 96). Although the transactional leadership approach can be found primarily throughout business organizations, it also can be found in education at the principal position along with the transformational approach.In the field of education, a principal can implement both transformational and transactional leadership approaches simultaneously. In the sass, principals became agents of change. Healthier stated, â€Å"that this focus on the principals capacity to enact change was only affirmed in the sass with the popularity of Ron Edmondson effective schools research, which emphasized that strong administrative leadership as a common characteristic of successful schools† (Healthier, 1992, p. 37). As a result of No Child Left Behind (NCSC), schools have implemented high stakes testing to satisfy the requirements of the law.Principals are put in the position of having to wear â€Å"t wo hats†, a transformational hat and a transactional hat. Pepper states, † A principals ability to skillfully balance transform and transactional leadership styles will best position a school to accomplish the goals set forth by NCSC while also continuing to focus on individual students needs for academic success† (Pepper, 2010, p. 3). A principal practices a transformational leadership style when he or she is practicing shared leadership with staff, parents, and students.A principal would collaborate with teachers in the areas of curriculum development and instructional practices. The principal also would have a shared vision for the school and collaborate with staff and students to build an effective school culture. The principal would practice transactional leadership when he or she are overseeing the daily operations of the school. The principal would be enforcing policies, procedures, and rules of the school. The principal would reward teachers for accomplishi ng their goals and discipline teachers who do not live up to his or her standards.Although most would think of a principal as a transformational leader, there are times when a principal also has to be a transactional leader to accomplish goals, increase student achievement, and have a safe and effective school for both staff and students. Research and psychological studies will continue to contribute to the pool of leadership theories illustrated in this essay. The study of leadership has evolved from a leader-centered models with the advent of trait and behavioral studies to a Ochs on a multidimensional study that revolves around culture, context, and emotions as seen with the transactional and transformational models.

Typography - Essay Example Naturally then upon completion of the project, I was exposed to the experimentation of nontraditional methods of type development, while seeking design inspiration from my own environment I chose materials based on ordinary objects bought at the local 99 cent only stores. Some items students worked with plastic suction cup hooks, plastic sandwich bags and an electrical outlet adapter. The purpose of this exploration was to expose students to the potential of typographic solutions inspired from the everyday. I found each experiment to be equally inspiring. I have always been enchanted with simplicity. I think that it is the obvious which is overlooked. The materials at the 99 cent stores are consistently looked at as if they are throw-aways but imagine if an alphabet based on simplicity could work as a language for those who suffered from visual diseases. Working with the simple objects reminded me of what the original purpose of language is. We use language to communicate with others, and it think that it can be said that the majority of cultures somehow find their way into 99 cent stores, thus the culture has common elements as it is. Inventing a language from the items merely takes my concept to the next level. When we look at Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian lettering, we see beautiful art forms. The same very much exists in my project.

Discussion Baord - Essay Example The increasing of drug addiction in Europe requires the new methods and laws about using drug. Usually, people who are taking drugs without distributing them, are not sentenced to imprisonment, but they get punishment of administrative and medical character (or other forms of treatment). Though many countries have laws which provide for imprisonment just for taking drugs. In cases where the delinquency, connected with drugs, was commited by the person, depended on drugs, the methods of social and medical impact are used. Treatment and imprisonment are altermative methods for the persons who are taking drugs. Many countries which are the members of EU differ the crimes connected with drugs and crimes connected with producing, transporting and distributing drugs. In case, where taking drugs is not systematic and has no negative results, the person can be just fined or gets administrative punishment (for example to hold up the driving licence or other documents). The laws of European countries concerning taking drugs differ from each other. ‘Taking drugs’ is a law notion and defines the drugs for personal use and is different from the notion of distributing, keeping, transporting or producing. Some countries of EU speak about taking drugs as about separate tort. These countries are France, Finland, Greece and Sweden. In these countries the use of drugs is qualified as a criminal offence and provides for imprisonment. But law-enforcement policy has a number of flexible approaches to such type of crime. In Belgium only the group use of drugs is forbidden and punished. Spain and Luxemburg concern only about taking drugs in public places that is punished by administrative method. The law of Ireland and Great Britain officially forbids opium taking but taking drugs â€Å"per se† is not punished. In Holland taking drugs in public places of some cities is forbidden and can be punished according to the law. Portuguese policy proposes medical

Solar energy Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

Solar energy - Research Paper Example Solar energy is the power that is produced directly by the sun and collected somewhere else, mostly on the Earth. The sun is the nearest and biggest star and the source of energy for the planet of Earth. The sun's energy has been in use for a lengthy time, and it is a critical part of life. The solar energy is a fundamental need for humans. The image of the sun has many theories, histories and myths associated with it. For centuries, it has been the God, or the holy part of different religions, for example, the American native tribes and Greeks worshipped it. It is also an essential part of many religions as they hold it dear to their worship, for example, Hinduism, Buddhism and druids of England hold the sun as the precedence of their existence. It is a fact that without the solar energy, human life would be inexistent. Sunlight is crucial as the living organisms circle around it for survival. According to Mahaney (10), plants depend on sunlight for photosynthesis to take place, thu s, helping in their growth while, on the other hand, providing food for animals. The sun and other stars are, in essence, responsible for providing human beings with energy. In the current climate, mounting power requirements and escalating environmental worry, unconventional to the exploit of non-renewable and polluting relic fuels, have to be scrutinized. An instance of energy that requires to be investigated is the solar energy (Tiwari 199). The sun produces its energy by a thermonuclear process that converts several tons of hydrogen to helium each second. The procedure produces heat and electromagnetic radiation as the sun retains the heat, which is instrumental in maintaining the thermonuclear reaction. The electromagnetic radiation is distributed and streamed out into space in all directions. These rays entail noticeable and infra-red, as well as ultraviolet, light. From the radiations produced, only a little fraction manages to penetrate, and reach the planet Earth (Mahaney 4 ). The radiations reach the Earth in a form of indirect source of nearly every type of power used today. The only form of energy that does not rely upon solar energy is the geothermal energy and nuclear fission and synthesis. Even fossil fuels are reliant on the sun for their energy, as they were once live creatures and plants that utilized solar energy for their survival. Table of world energy usage as per the year 2000 Energy source Solar energy Electricity Fuel oil Liquefied petroleum other percentage 51.2 30.3 9.3 6.5 1.9 The table above shows world consumption rates of different sources of energy. Solar energy is the most utilized one followed by electricity, according to the table. The world’s most needed solar energy can easily be harnessed and completed by solar power. Much of it can also be supplied indirectly. Because of its nature, solar energy requires two components for it to perform; these are the collector and the storage unit. The radiations are gathered by th e collector as they fall on it and convert a fraction of the radiations to other varieties of energy, such as electricity and heat. The storage unit holds the excess energy produced at maximum productivity and discharges it when the productivity falls.

Genre Analysis - Essay Example This research paper will retrospectively place emphasis on the influence that political party websites play in a modern democracy in the confines of competitive politics and in a greater extend bring out their importance (Weller and Warren 230). In the exercise of democracy today political parties have been in the center stage as the main vehicles that help politicians climb into power. Various platforms have been adopted by these parties as they forge for their main agenda and one of them is adoption of modern technology in carrying out their political campaigns. It therefore becomes an important aspect to discuss and analyze, so that the various motives are unearthed and brought into light through a genre analysis perspective. The essence of political parties going digital and using websites and blog is to mobilize highest number of masses possible. Although it is the wish for political parties to be all inclusive and accommodating to everyone, it becomes very difficult to do so. P eople have different ideas and opinion about various matters and sometimes it could be difficult to come into terms with the various opinions that political leaders come up for nation building. Such disagreements and deviations in opinions bring a challenge of inclusion and therefore political parties and their websites cannot include everyone (Miller 165). These websites are only targeting like-minded persons and people who share common ideologies and values in relation to national matters. Political parties’ websites are a good reflection of how power, authority, hierarchy and leadership should be exercised more so if the agenda comes to pass. Within the website there is a clear cut off who is the flag bearer, the deputy and other representatives in a hierarchical manner. These ranks are usually disseminated depending on the roles, responsibilities and the voting rights that these individuals have within the confines of the political party. Many a times we have experienced wrangles within political parties regarding who takes what share and who does not. These are normal happenings in political divides and given that political parties bake politicians ranks call shorts to solve these matters. Sometimes it is difficult to realize these wrangles in the online political party websit

Analysis of Is Google Making Us Stupid by Nicholas G Carr Essay

Analysis of Is Google Making Us Stupid by Nicholas G Carr - Essay Example AI is nothing more than the collective compilation of human knowledge accumulated over bodies of knowledge previously learned.people with very high I.Q.s may think so (from whence such comments may come), they missed to consider the fact that a person with the highest I.Q. still cannot match the speed by which a computer makes calculations and even decisions on the most complex matters. In Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, quoted by Carr in this essay, â€Å"Is Google Making Us Stupid?,† Dr David Bowman’s and Dr Frank Pooles mission aboard the American spaceship Discovery One bound for Jupiter experienced trouble with their supercomputer HAL (an acronym for Heuristic Algorithm). After surviving several attempts to shut him out of the spaceship, Bowman coldly disconnected HAL’s circuits after it nearly sent him to a deep-space death after a malfunction. Whatever human qualities it has subsumed, machines are still made by men. Bowman’s attachment to this machine was a product of science which allowed the machine to possess a seeming human quality. If a man does succeed to make a replica of himself and enhance this subsumation to make the machine assume fine human qualities, there exists an ethical issue. If that machine, as most people and Carr fear, dominates over man, there is a question where to set the limits of manâ€℠¢s reliance on artificial intelligence must end. In the end, that machine still has no soul. It is still a machine unless you can manufacture the soul and add it to that contraption. The author’s personal experience using Google, with so many features on the fly, was enjoyable saved for unavoidable ungrammatical chat language (jejemon). It has shaped language so that it is deliverable in short quips as in telegrams cutting across language barriers, with its ultimate aim, among other things that the information technology may bring.

Answer 2 question - Essay Example According to Schneider (2011), checks may be unsafe because merchants handling checks usually get access to individual account number, names, and other contact information that may make it easy to perpetrate fraud. Moreover, when checks are processed as electronic debits, merchants have access to personal account that may give them chance to make unauthorized deductions. In addition, compared to the debit cards that only require a four digit PIN, checks usually need signatures, which may be easily imitated by a third party. On the other hand, when an account holder or signatory to the check gets serious accidents that, they cannot sign the checks; it is obvious that the checks cannot work because there may be issues of mismatch in signatures. Not all merchants because of payment delays and possibility of bounced checks may accept checks (Schneider, 2011). Keeping accurate financial record may is very cumbersome and time consuming especially when dealing with cancelled checks because they normally leave paper trails that the account owner must follow in case of fraud or theft. Reconciling the bank statement with the canceled checks is not an easy task. Schneider (2011) explains that phishing has been rampant in the recent years as expert criminals turn to the huge amount of money involved in the online payment systems. The technique that involves committing fraud against clients of online business is common amongst financial institutions whose customers expect high degree of security. The basic structure of a phishing attack sees an attacker sending e-mail messages to several recipients who may be account holders at the targeted Web site such as PayPal or Skrill. The messages that also include some links that appear as the link to the login Web site, normally informs the recipients that their accounts have been compromised and that they should log in to the account to correct the issue. Instead, the links

Marketing Strategy Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Marketing Strategy - Research Paper Example It takes less time to prepare ice cream this way. Therefore many customers can be served fresh ice-cream as soon as they order it. This also gives the customer confidence that they get a freshly made product in just a matter of seconds (Barry 23). Kids will also love the experience of watching their ice cream freeze in front of their eyes. Liquid nitrogen is safe in gaseous form and is not harmful in any way even if it gets in contact with the customer during preparation of their ice cream (Robin 31). My primary target is the millions or even billions of ice cream lovers not only in the nation but globally. With such an innovative idea, I am hopeful that it can expand worldwide and that the ice cream experience can be changed globally (Barry 29). I would like to think that most of my target customers would be children but ice ream lovers are not biased by any factor such as age. Hence for the teenagers and adults, they apply to my target group for frozen ice cream (Robin 36). My key competitors are ice cream makers that are in existence particularly the large manufacturing companies that are in existence today. My product is advantageous with the fact that it is creamier and has less of preservatives. However, I lack the advantage of capital to roll out my idea (Stuart 35). This is especially so when I consider the fact that I do not have a retail store to roll out the business. Also I do not have enough cash to advertise. My competitors also have a well established brand name such that I become a tiny threat to their market share (Stuart 41). Compared to my competitors too, I face the challenge of sales and marketing. This requires capital, time and resources and as of now, I have neither the time, capital nor resources to carry out huge campaigns on my product. Even though I am a small threat to the big competitors, I have the

History of Juvenile Justice Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

History of Juvenile Justice - Essay Example Several factors facilitated the passage of the 1899 Illinois Juvenile Court Act and they are the child saver movement and the creation of children’s tribunals (Martin 43; Siegel). The child saver movement refers to the acts of wealthy person who donated money for others to create informal networks of social service agencies that helped needy children. These networks opposed jailing delinquent or runaway children and put them in refuge houses instead (Siegel). They taught children remedial skills, so that they could work and earn money in legitimate ways (Siegel). These houses, however, received criticism for their harsh disciplinary rules and methods (Siegel). Though they had these weaknesses, the movement increased support for treating children differently when they have conducted different kinds of crimes (Siegel). Another factor that resulted to the passage of the 1899 law is the development of children’s tribunals (Martin 43). In 1874, Massachusetts passed legislati on that required separate court hearings for children, called children’s tribunals (Martin 43). In 1877, New York passed legislation that separated adult and juvenile offenders (Martin 43). These laws became the forerunners of the 1899 Illinois Juvenile Court Act. The purpose of the 1899 Illinois Juvenile Court Act is to establish a formal juvenile court system that reflected the parens patriae doctrine (Siegel). The parens patriae doctrine asserts that the state must take care of the country’s children.

Self identity before divorce Essay Example for Free

Self identity before divorce Essay In marriage women may become so submissive to their husbands that they lose their identity. This is especially for women who have been married for a long time. Many women feel so insecure without their spouse. Counselors can help such women to restore their self worth. This helps the women to regain their self respect and also know that she deserves to be respected too. Through this their self esteem is brought back to normal. Most women have been helped to leave their overdependence on their partners. Marital counseling helps to validate the partners’ individuality. Communication styles After parents going through divorce, children need to be communicated to so that they can understand what exactly happened. It is good to note that children may understand such matters quite differently from how the parents understand. While it is important for parents to talk to their children about divorce, it is worth noting that this is a hard task. For instance if the parents could have had a conflict . They need to use the right communication styles to put this across to the children. When it is well done, their trust is built. Clues and cues Children are not emotionally and even intellectually mature. They do not express themselves as adults do. Young children always pass across their message through drawing, playing and writing among others. Parents need to be keen to these activities to understand what their children are saying concerning divorce. Their facial expressions will always speak a lot and parents need to understand this after going through a divorce. Listening Most people who have divorced always just need a listening ear. They need to share their pains sorrows and disappointments to the family members. Sisters, brothers and even parents need to be good listeners at such a point. It is good to let the affected person to do more of the talking and pour out his or her own heart. During such trying times the parents who have separated need to be good listeners too to their children. A parent can paraphrase the child’s words and speak them over again to show that he or she has understood. In such a way the parents can understand what their children are going through after their divorce. They could be angry or even fearful. Indirect communication Divorce issues can be very complex for young children to understand. Children can be explained to using indirect means of communication. Story telling, use of dolls and drawings can help in passing across the message. Story telling can be very effective in communicating to the very small children A parent can tell a story about children who went through such an issue. How they missed their mum or dad and the way they coped. This helps children to know that they are not just the only ones who go through such issues of parents divorcing. Through this parents will always learn what their children feel about the divorce. The parent that is staying with the children should help them to cope with the matters at hand. When the right communication styles are used in a marriage, divorce can be avoided. Some of this communication styles always trigger people to divorce. Criticism There are some partners who never see anything positive in their spouses. They only see the negatives. Criticism speech between spouses makes them have low self esteem. Women are more prone to this and it may aggravate divorce. Defensiveness Some married men and women are quite defensive when they make mistakes in marriage. They are just not responsible for their actions. This is not right style of communication and such characters influence people to divorce. Roles During the process o divorce parents should spell out clearly each individual’s roles and duties in the family. In case, if children are present, where they will stay. There are instances where the wife may have really valued the role of the husband in taking care of the family needs. When divorce occurs such women will more often than not devalue the role of their partners. When people go through divorce, there are those that neglect their roles as fathers or mothers. The very fact that the man and the wife are no longer married does not mean that they cease to be mothers to their children or parents in general. In such circumstances, the children suffer and yet they are not the cause to the divorcing of their parents. There are some parents who neglect their family roles when they are married hence leading to divorce. A woman whose husband is less concerned about his roles and duties will opt for divorce. Boundaries After a couple divorcing, there are boundaries that are set between the two that they are not supposed to cross. One of the boundaries involves intimacy. They can put this boundary in such a way that none of the two has the right to demand for his or her conjugal rights. Most women who divorce from a conflicting marriage mostly bar the husband from seeing the children. This can be very traumatizing to the man. There are also boundaries that are put concerning the right to property. Before a divorce occurred a woman may have had the right to use his husband’s car. After divorce, a boundary is put that in case she uses the car she will have gone too far. In such a case the man can even take a legal action against her. In this twenty first century, people are crossing boundaries to marry men and women from other ethnic groups. There are high rates of interracial marriages. Research shows that such marriages have got high divorce rates. Alliances There are so many alliances that exist in the world today. Divorce in today’s society has really increased leading to families forming associations. These associations help the divorcees to cope after the divorce. Such associations normally consist of families that have gone through the same. The individuals are comforted and encouraged to go on with life. Resiliency This is simply bouncing back or coming back to normal operations. After divorce happening to a family, it may not come back to normal immediately. A divorcee may find it hard to forget his partner. Divorce in itself makes the parties to go through moments of pain, especially the emotional one. Some of the separations come along with traumatic grief on the individuals. Especially if a person still loves the other partner. Coming to terms with reality in such a case may not be easy for any one. Some people in order to come back to their old self may have some denial or rigid defenses. Professionals like counselors always help the individuals to regain there self worth in the society. This is because divorce makes people feel very useless, unwanted and unappreciated in the society. Other family friend and members should help the divorcees to come back to their normal self. It is good to note that people regain at different rates. There are some that may bounce back to their normal self very fast. Others take quite a long time to come to terms with reality. People who accept that it happened will always regain very fast. Metaphor This is simply figurative language that describes an issue or a topic. In conjunction to the topic of divorce here is a metaphor to reflect a family dealing with it. Example Once upon a time there was a farmer who lived in Drasel village. He was very hard working and everybody admired this. The farmer was known as Mr. Tim. He had a very good cow which he had named Lando. Mr Tim really loved his one and only cow, Lando. He usually woke up very early to cut Napier grass for his cow. This is because he really loved his cow. He could milk his cow at exactly five a. m. Lando was a very productive animal. He would give Mr. Tim fifteen litters of milk. This made him a very happy man. He would brag about his cow to the villagers. This went on for the first two weeks. After this things really changed. Lando simply refused to produce milk. Mr. Tim tried all that he could but to no avail. He brought more Napier grass for Lando and sprayed her every day. He even cleaned Lando each day but nothing seemed to please him. Instead Lando would kick him hard whenever he moved closer. Soon the villagers started to laugh at Tim. He was ashamed of his one and only cow. So what is the need of keeping a cow which doesn’t produce milk? Tim kept on asking himself. After all I can get another one! This is exactly what he did. He sold the cow and bought another one. Explanation Tim represents a husband while Lando in this case is the wife. When they were newly married the wife was very good. She treated her husband well and bore him children. The husband was good to her throughout this period. He gives her enough money, cares for her and shows his love for her. He even brags about his sweet wife to the villagers. After sometime the wife changes completely. She becomes rude to her husband. The husband continues to be caring, loving and to provide for her. She even refuses to conceive claiming the children are enough! The man becomes a laughing stock in the village. He considers divorcing her. According to him, his wife is no longer worth the marriage. After all, women are very available. That is exactly what he does. This metaphor illustrates the causes of divorce in many marriages. What I have learnt To be sincere this subject has taught me a lot. I am now fully aware of the things that can cause divorce. I have learnt how I can deal with loss of my partner through divorce. God forbid, I pray that it never happens! The issue of communication styles has been of help to me. I hope to implement them in my personal relationships. I can now understand what divorcees go through in relation to their self esteem. I hope to be of great help to them in dealing with this. Questions for research This subject should have further research carried out. One of the questions is; what is the relationship of technopoly to divorce in the twenty first century? Technopoly is simply the surrender of society to technological advancement. An example is the internet and sex technologies. The other question is; what is the relationship between traditional culture and divorce in today’s society. In relation to this, one can find out if men and women still embrace the traditional culture and how this is affecting the divorce rates. The last question is; why are divorce rates high in developed nations as compared to the developing countries. This will include the factors that are affecting the different rates. Conclusion Divorce rates have really increased since the twenty first century. It is defined as the dissolution of marriage while both parties are still alive. This has become such a challenge to most families. Dealing with loss in case of divorce can be hard. People who go through it need professional counseling. Some people even lose their identity and this mostly affects women. People should assist such families to be resilient as soon as possible. It is not an easy thing to deal with divorce. Married people should learn the best communication styles to pass across information to partners. People need to be educated on the importance of marriage and the negative effects of divorce on families.

Developing Autonomy in Learning

Developing Autonomy in Learning Thinking of me as an educator or instructor, and entering in teaching profession is one of my dreams and goals of life. This time a graduate study is giving me the opportunity to explore my professional development in the field of teaching and education. Before entering to the first class of practicum, naturally I was feeling the burden of responsibilities in terms of thinking more critically about my objectives, actions and ethical ways of performing my duties within the context of my work as a preceptee. Interestingly, just before the beginning of the class I was asked by one of my facilitators that what will you do after MScN and getting training of an educator? My answer was â€Å"you are the inspiration for me and will walk on your steps†. The next comment that I received was â€Å"you may walk on my steps but what change will you make†? These comments squeezed my thoughts and motivated me to think of a change I may make and expect in the field of education through getting experience from the education practicum. Reflective practice is an integral part of teaching and learning. It helps in being honest to our selves, become aware of our surroundings and understands our own feelings. In this paper I am going to reflect on a wonderful experience of evaluating undergraduate students during double jump exam as a faculty, strategies to facilitate students’ anxiety during exam, and reflect on the purpose of double jump exam. It was challenging to assess students in limited time according to evaluation criteria that should be understood by faculty prior to assess. Since, I have to evaluate students as a faculty but, at that time I was having difficulty in getting into my role because I was realizing and feeling students’ anxiety within myself. I had to assess students and simultaneously to document their assessment findings at the same time. This was the most demanding work for me being honest and non-judgmental during evaluation. Students’ assessment and evaluation require inte nse preparation of self-management, control over your own beliefs and judgments, expectations and commitments towards students that articulate with the outcomes to be achieved. I encountered one student during the exam. He looked confident and well-prepared when he entered at history taking and health assessment station. I explained him the exam criteria and timings to complete the history taking and system assessment in 20 mins (10 mins for each) under the supervision of course faculty. When he started taking history from simulated patient, his physical appearance and way of asking questions from the patient depicted some physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety. He was feeling nervous, speaking very fast, shaking, going blank during history taking and health assessment. We did not interfere during his attempt thinking that he might be recalling therefore, he should not be distracted. After few minutes, the student verbalized that â€Å"mam sorry I am lost, I cannot concentrate, and I am feeling that I have forgotten everything†. This was the peak time where I didn’t have the authority to respond or intervene in this situation being pre ceptee. Moreover, due to time limitation of the double jump exam, the course faculty could not discuss the strategies to solve student situation with me. However, she counseled that student very positively, made him comfortable and gave 5 mins to list down the sequence of nervous system which he had to perform on the patient. The student made the sequence but even though he was unable to perform further and had withdrawn. Interestingly, the student performed very well in the next part which was identifying 3 medical diagnoses along with rationale and interpreting X-ray and ECG rhythm. This scenario was challenging in terms of facilitating student’s anxiety, justifying role and responsibilities as a faculty, and exhibiting non-judgmental attitude with other students. Faculty plays a pivotal role in addressing students’ stress during exam. Responding to students in stress or anxiety is often confusing and overwhelming. Some level of anxiety is productive in performing better in academia but non-productive stress or anxiety leads to failure (Burns, 2004). In this particular situation, there could be many reasons for having test anxiety and poor performance. The reasons could be lack of exam preparation, studying late night before exam, worrying about past performance, lack of confidence, fear of performing assessment on simulated patients, fear of faculty presence, and so forth (Birjandi Alemi, 2010). What I reflect throughout this exam is if I would have been in that situation as an invigilator, I would have allowed student to sit down and relax for 5 mins, and invigilate another student during that interval to save time; provided to use cue cards of health assessment to review since it was allowed to use it 3 times during the exam and there was no penalty or marks deduction. However, the student was not given chance to use cue cards which was questionable. The physical appearance of that student and his intellectual ability was revealing me that he has done his preparation but he was blank due to performance exam anxiety. Because, he performed outstanding job in making differential diagnosis, integrating lab values, and ECG and X-ray interpretation. If he would not have done his preparation, he would have flunked from the entire exam process. Course coordinator’s opinion could have been taken to facilitate student’s performance. Lastly, he could have given second chance to perform later as an exceptional case but it won’t be justified with other students who were prepared and performed on time. What is the purpose of double jump exam is very ambiguous to me. If it is to assess students’ interviewing skills, health assessment, and drawing clinical concept map than this is a part of their routine clinical practice that can be evaluated while caring for patients in the hospital setting. In contrast, the purpose of it is to evaluate critical thinking to identify patients’ clinical parameters and health issues. Therefore, they should have trained in hospital placement where they can analyze cardiac rhythms on monitor, identify ventilator parameters, monitor invasive lines according to patients’ pathological conditions, develop plan of care and treatment on real patients which is an actual experiential learning hence, is a goal to engage students in continuous learning and assessment process. The purpose of good academic assessment is to engage students in autonomous learning and to determine how to fuse theory and practice (Taylor, 1998). There will be no ex tra efforts required in terms of administration and arrangement of human and material resources to plan double jump test which is one of the lengthy and stressful assessment strategies for students. Moreover, it will also prevent from the duplication of assessment which is already a part of clinical learning goals and outcomes. Performing on simulated patients often doesn’t provide actual patients’ symptoms and medical problems to identify and intervene. Students usually get preoccupied in identifying and verbalizing normal findings so they prepare themselves accordingly. However, the purpose is to allow them to think critically and recognize patients’ actual medical problems. Therefore, in my perspective, this learning can be facilitated during clinical. Adult learners are responsible for their own learning. They are motivated when they are given autonomy of learning, ongoing facilitation and feedback from faculty. They require explicit instructions and appropriate responses from the faculty when they are flooded with stress and anxiety. Overall, this was a meaningful journey for me to experience the exam system from student’s and faculty’s perspectives.

The Introduction Of Cultural Anthropology Cultural Studies Essay

The Introduction Of Cultural Anthropology Cultural Studies Essay Traditional dressing has been a topic of much concern when it comes to the world of fashion. Many fashions in todays world have slowly developed from the traditional garments that have been in existence for a long time. During ancient times, the ancestors just dressed scantily with animal skin but with the development of fabrics, this has changed tremendously. Each culture has its own unique way of doing things. Culture has been diverse and different in all regions and continents of the world. Indeed, in every region people have the values and virtues that they value most and the doctrines that they follow which contributes to a unique culture. Starting with the behavior, arts, music, believes, cuisine, and literature different cultures portray different models of everything. The dressing is also unique and it is easy to identify people with how they dress. The Asian and African cultures are two cultures that have held on to their customs and cultures, to date people still value and practice their traditions irrespective of the westernization. Although civilization has threatened culture with extinction, people need to be rooted in it to avoid the good values and virtues from disappearing. This paper examines the similarities and differences in styles of dress in Asian culture and African culture. What individuals put on is dependent on a number of factors. When people dress, those around them know their intention since the style is identifiable in many ways and functions. Dressing, according to many, is for warmth, protection and/or comfort; this, fact coupled with others makes dressing important. In areas of the Middle East there are different colors applied for women and men such that while women wear black the men wear white. Traditionally, women wore black in the wedding ceremonies since it was associated with fertility and status but this has changed with many preferring the westernized white gowns. The use of cloth relates the past, present and ensures a future through different experience and social relations. Winter (2002) in his article Fashion Statements quotes We wear clothes not only to be comfortable in the environment, but its one of the easiest ways of saying something about our identities, our histories, our aspirations, of where we want to be in the world, Social status or class is another reason people wear differently. Kings, queens, chiefs and other authorities dignitaries will wear differently from the commoners or subjects being ruled e.g. Chiefs will tend to wear uniforms (Derber, 2000, p.63). Their dressing maybe modified to indicate their power, rank, status and authority. Wear for the authorities may be got from animals skin and are always rare to obtain to the ordinary person. This makes it easier to identify people from lower castes. Color is also used to identify social status and one color used for the authorities for easy identification. Luxurious garments are also worn by the rich and famous to indicate wealth (Winter, 2002). Gender is also another factor to consider when dressing. Men and Women in culture have been seen as unequal and will wear differently each time they dress. Their outfits are also different with women traditionally wearing clothes that are covering their body in totality. The garments come differentiated in color, styles and fabric. The traditional culture dressing stressed on modesty, secrecy, and dignity. These dressings are regulated by laws of the traditions which dictate what men and women ought and ought not to wear. People also dressed differently for different occasions, for example, during weddings people will want to be radiant and very attractive but for funerals they will look gloomy and this will be shown in the dress codes. For war and circumcisions occasions all will dress differently. For sports and different activities that are involving the dress code will change to suit the event. Religion is also important when dressing. This may be seen as occupational clothing since most will stick to it for as long as they are in the religion. Different religions wear differently and most recommend decent dressing. Muslims, for example, will wear very conservatively such that women must cover their head with the hijab and long Kangas while men wear a white robe with a cap, and the Jews will wear robes and turbans as they worship. Culture The Asian culture and African culture are multi ethnic and the dressings involved are diverse. However, the religions practiced like Islam may be similar hence make the dressing look alike. This means different styles, fabrics, designs are found in these cultures for both men and women. Asian culture and African culture Asian cultures vary and the continent is rich in culture. These include the Shinto, Mahayana Buddhists Confucian of Japan Shamanistic and Marxists of South Korea, Taoists, the Hindu, and the Spiritist of Thailand. As many as there are the cultures so there are the differences. These differences are religion, language, beliefs, clothing, and ethics (Good, 2001). The Asian culture is more critical when it comes to religion. They have more reference to a supreme being no matter where they are in the continent and this is common to all traditions and ethnic entities. The dressing in the Asian culture is more linked to occasions which all have meaning (Good, 2001). The colors of the cloths they wear signifies and symbolizes different things e.g. red signifies wealth and good luck in Chinese, while white is used for funerals. The food is also prepared ceremoniously based on the calendar and events. There are also special meals that are prepared for the wealthy, rich and rulers. Education and labor are more emphasized since they are seen as means to wealth and success. This is passed on from generation to generation with its virtues. The family is one organization that the Asians respect. Many siblings live together in harmony and respect with shared responsibilities and duties that keep cordial relations. Common decisions are made and all favor the family values and virtues (Moore, 1998, p.147). Africa is renowned for its rich culture that attracts many tourists to the region. The numerous ethnic tribes and groups make the region enriched with true traditions that are hard to change. Africa can be broadly divided into Afro-Asiatic, Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, and Khoisan. Art, music, and religion characterize culture in Africa (Le Blanc, Van Lowe, 2000). Many Africans believe in traditional religion though most have transformed to Muslims and Christians due to civilization but many have believed in superstitions and black magic. They believe in team work and family values and respect for the elders and a society that is male dominated (Miller, 2007, p.124). They have rich traditional foods prepared during ceremonies and for the wealthy, rich and authorities. The emphasis mainly on respect of elders especially male elders and take them as gods. Apart from some few differences the Asian and African culture may some time be view as alike. Asian Dressing Many have long misinterpreted the clothing of Asia as unfashionable and obsolete. With the Japanese donning a kimono or other long robes with wide sleeves and the Chinese having the Mao suits that were of dull colors, then one would conclude that Asia is no place for fashion. However, traditions have been kept and civilization has not been allowed to change them (Winter, 2002). Ancient Chinese dressing included simply a tunic or jacket then known as a san with a pair of wobbly trousers known as the ku. This outfit was modified with age to include the mandrian collar to suit as fashion. For customary occasions, the higher class and wealthy, e.g. the emperor and court of nobles, wore robes, long sleeved loose fitting garment that was tied at the front and were made from silk. Other garments included the dragon robe worn by the ruling class. The clothing of the emperor who commanded a lot of respect had unique outstanding colors such as yellow to show dignity but never had numerous decorations. Modern day China has become a bit westernized but with a Chinese taste. For women, the cheongsam dress is very trendy, but the Mao suit was imposed and is the common daily wear for many Chinese. Japanese systems were the same as China with them preferring robes and tunics. The poor women wore loose skirts and men wore loose linen shirts. The loose shirt was the kosode and the long trousers were the hakama. The Japanese robe was tied with an obi or sash around the waist. The Japanese have several traditional dress wears including the; ho, kinu, haori, and katiginu. Beauty and design are much emphasized in the dresses. The major style of dress in the south Asian culture is the sari, while the East and Southeast Asia there is the sarong of Indonesia, the qipao of China, ao dai of Vietnam and the kimono of Japan. African Dressing African clothing is mainly based on weaving, tie and dye, batiks, and industrial prints. The dress of Africa has been influenced mainly by the religion the region follows. This has made multifaceted interactions between the Muslims and Christians. According to Hansen, 2004 in the article The world in dress: Anthropological perspectives on clothing, fashion, and culture explains that Africa ha two wide dressing cultures (Le Blanc, Van Lowe, 2000). These are based on decorations of clothes at the west, central and several regions of East Africa and the other is tailored western look alike attires found in the Southern Africa and the remaining part of East Africa (Hendrickson, 1999). Loose gowns for the men and women known as the boubou cloth wrappers and head tie are the common dressing. The Buna in the Yoruba land is more specific especially in Nigeria, but women and men wear different colors and patterns. During marriage the women wear black while for hunters they mix the colors of white and black which are stripped. The chiefs have reservations for the red impersonate clothing which is decorated with beautiful patterns. As for color, white signifies spiritual occasions. The clothes made by weaving include bogolanfini, aso, ake, kuba, raffia, and kente. These are made with black, white and brown motifs. Comparison and Contrast The clothing styles will always be different in the size, how, where, and when worn in the two regions. The veil and head wrapping in Egypt and Kuwait is the head cover for rich women makes them look wealthy, rich, famous, and honored but for those in lower status never cover their head. For those in Egypt covering the head is for those in the lower status and not the rich and wealthy. This brings the difference in opinions; to those in Kuwait, it preserves the wealthy status, while the Egyptians think of it as being a good and committed Muslims who preserves the status of a woman (Hendrickson, 1999). The Japans kimono gives the clear difference between gender and life cycle stages and the status. For the high status people their kimono sleeves are shorter as compared to those in the lower status. For the men the sleeves are equally short but for the women especially the unmarried their kimono sleeves are very long and for the married they are short like those of men (Hardin, 1997). For instance, the furisode kimono is made of fine silk of intricate colors and designs worn by a girl in her mid ages when not married signifying marital availability. Those in the African culture do not consider whether one is married or not but the gender. In wedding occasions in the South Korean side, traditional gowns are worn to retain the cultural tastes; this is common to the East and Southeast Asia where a white gown is used like the western culture but in India white clothing indicate widowhood. In Africa, the Moroccans wear a Berber costume, a long robe, accompanied by silver jewelry that is common in the pastoralists from the rural mountains. In the south, South Africans wear animal skin as traditional wear during the marriage ceremony. The long loose clothing is common in African and Asian cultures worn by both men and women. An explanation is that they cover their body not to expose their body structure. This preserves the traditional value of secrecy of the human body. The Nigerian women have also taken to wearing the tunic from the South Asia (Hardin, 1997). Dressing in Africa does not emphasize the class like the Asian culture where class matters. For example, in India the caste system dictates different dress codes to the members of the different castes. However, in both regions, status is considered. Religion makes the people in both regions wear the same. For Muslims they are dictated to wear robes and head covers in all regions. The veil which is the common religious wear has been named different names in the two cultures, some call it the hijab, others chador, burqah, or bui-bui. This is mostly worn by Muslims women not only in the region but throughout the world. Because of its visibility, the veil is the emblem of Muslim identity and the difference in Orientalizing approaches both in scholarship and popular media, serving as the symbol par excellence of womens subordination (Hansen, 2004). The African culture has more preference to cotton fabrics while the Asian cultures silk garments are preferred. Most of the garments in the South Asian culture are silky while the tie and dye, weave, and batiks of African culture are made from cotton (Le Blanc Van Lowe, 2000). Some of the garments in the East Asia are made of weaving like the sarong. Much of the Asian clothing often looks like uniforms while in African dressing the clothing is diverse and range in color design and style. Reacting to wearing uniforms, young Japanese buy cute things and fashion conscious youth use cuteness as a dress and adornment strategy to counter the norms of uniformity (Hansen, 2004). African culture of dressing does not come in uniforms and emphasis is laid on dressing for the occasions. Both cultures have distinct dressing for different occasion which can be said to be common throughout the world, and this is accompanied by covering of the head by women which is more emphasized in the Asian culture. This ensures that the woman remains concealed and dignified according to the culture. Conclusion Dressing in todays world has been revolutionized and people have moved from traditional wear to western fashion. As a result, the traditions have been eroded and traditional wear forgotten. People converge at beauty pageants to showcase the latest designs and styles of dressing that have been modified to suit different needs. Those who are strong in their traditions have continued to keep and uphold its virtues and values. Culture and dressing has been complicated in the recent past as cultures, traditions have merged, and the only concept that exists is the national dresses. Past traditions and cultures in terms of dressing also proved to be gender biased since they were strict on women but now women have resisted them and transformed, but one thing is for sure traditional African and Asian cultures were rich and valued.

Stubborn Pride in The Stone Angel :: essays research papers

In the novel there is mention of the war cry of the Curries, â€Å"Gainsay who dare!† (15). Such a translation may be "Oppose me (us) if you dare to." There is a very predominant theme of stubborn pride in The Stone Angel, which makes the novel sententious to its readers. Pride refers to a strong sense of self-respect, a refusal to be humiliated as well as joy in the accomplishments of oneself or a person, group, or object that one identifies with. Proud comes from late Old English prud, probably from Old French prude "brave, valiant". There are destructive and constructive effects of stubborn pride in that pride is a double-edged sword and separates inclination and response. There is a certain amount of pride that goes along with social status. Jason Currie was a "self-made man" who "had pulled himself up by his bootstraps" (7). Hagar was very proud of her father's success, on account of "he had begun without money" (14). Hagar stated, "Father took such pride in the store - you'd have thought it was the only one on earth. It was the first in Manawaka, so I guess he had due cause† (9). Hagar recounts the Stone Angel as being "my mother's angel that my father bought in pride to mark her bones and proclaim his dynasty†¦" (3). Hagar's father was an extremely proud man, a trait that was inevitably passed on to his daughter, and he took great pride in this "terribly expensive" statue, which "had been brought from Italy" †¦ "and was pure white marble" (3). Hagar calls to mind displaying her pride as young as age 6 when she says, "There was I, strutting the board sidewalk like a pint-sized peacock, resplendent, haughty, hoity-toity, Jason Currie' s black-haired daughter" (6). The Currie's thought very much of themselves, this is shown when Hagar speaks of her father, saying, "Matt and Dan and I always knew he could never have brought himself to marry his housekeeper" (17). All too often though, pride can be the defining trait that leads to the tragic hero's tragic downfall. Excessive pride also materializes itself as arrogance. It interferes with the individual's acceptance of the grace of God, or the worth which God sees in others. As Mr. Troy asks Hagar, â€Å"Don’t you believe, in God’s infinite Mercy?† (120), she replys â€Å"What’s so merciful about Him, I’d like to know?† (120). Hagar had developed such pride in herself that she had even let go of God, or the fact that she needed God.

Napoleon Betrayed the Revolution Essay -- Napoleon Bonaparte French Re

Napoleon Betrayed the Revolution In order to investigate the claim that ‘Napoleon betrayed the revolution’, it has to be determined what is the French revolution? And what are the revolutionary ideals that Napoleon allegedly betrayed? If Napoleon betrayed the Revolution then he betrayed the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. However if Napoleon did not betray the revolution, he consolidated the revolutionary ideals. The only way of determining whether Napoleon consolidated or betrayed the revolution is to explore his actions such as his military success, Dictatorship and social reforms. The difficulty of this analysis is that Napoleons motives for his actions determine whether he consolidated or betrayed the Revolution. If Napoleon betrayed the revolution, then he betrayed the ideals of Liberty, equality and fraternity. For it is ideals rather than realities that Napoleon allegedly betrayed. The reality of the French revolution is 8 periods of constant change and successions of policies and leaders, with each new leader and party bringing amendments to the revolution. Napoleon’s â€Å"coupd’e`tat of 18 brumaire was an insurance against both Jacobin revolution and Royalist restoration.† The French people expected Napoleon to bring back peace, order and to consolidate the political and social conquests of the Revolution. Napoleon considered these conquests to be â€Å"the sacred rights of property, equality and liberty.† If Napoleon gained power with the promise of upholding the principals of the French Revolution how did he betray the revolution? Many historians argue that Napoleon was an effective but ambitious leader. This ambition led to a dictatorship, which they consi der Napoleons ultimate betrayal. However other Historians such as Tombs and Furet see Napoleon’s regime as â€Å"the most convincing though temporary solution to the political and ideological problems bequeathed by the Revolution.† Napoleons dictatorship can also be considered a natural progression from the authoritarian nature of the French revolution. One idea is that is undebatable is - if Napoleon betrayed the French Revolution, this means that his actions, motives and policies were disloyal to the Revolutionary ideals of Liberty, equality and Fraternity. Napoleon was an outstanding military commander and enjoyed many successful campaigns. Napoleon maintained the Revolutionary syst... ...ad amassed.

A Place at the Table Movie Review

Im glad that I was able to go confront the screening last week because the video sincerely yours emphasized on the appal situation in our country. I unremarkably dont like ceremonial scoots that are relative to what happening to our population but this movie reall(a)y showed an come to to me. Its a national disgrace than close 50 million of our American neighbors recognize in homes that cant afford enough food. This cause motion-picture show explains why we throw this problem, and, to the highest degree importantly, what we can do to goal it.I conjecture everyone in America should see this film because it emphasizes how big the problem is. The movie potently displayed the real lives of actual spate whom were attempt against hunger. And every single one of these individuals defied a common stereotypes of hungry people. I deal that many Americans believe that we can end U.S. hunger one person at a time, one donated perishable right-hand(a) at a time. They are all acting as a great Samaritan but they are wrong, as this film proves.When Ronald Reagan entered office in 1981, there were nevertheless a few hundred fate feeding programs in America, most of which were handed-down soup kitchens serving mostly the people who had been historically the most hungry, the single manpower with substance abuse or kind illness problems. Yet, as a call result of the economic policies and social return cuts set in motion by Reagan, the number of emergency feeding programs in America skyrocketed, and continued to do so even after he unexpended office.There are now more than 40,000 such programs in America, and roughly two-thirds of them are food pantries, where parents and their children, the elderly, and working people obtain free people groceries. Meanwhile, hunger has soared. The truth is that these agencies simply dont have anything close to the resources needed to meet the demand. This live film proves that the only way to truly end U.S. hunger is by advocating for profound change that include living salary jobs and a robust government gum elastic net.

Trait theory shows aspects of human personality can be steadfast and consistent in several cultures it is not shaped by outside influences, where as Humanistic traits are. Trait theory is dress in its approach for many reasons the achiever of the five-factor personality models, observers evaluations, the models withstood challenges that affects all cultures, the link between psychological disorders and personality traits, and the potential to figure what the individuals future may bring.The Humanistic trait has been criticized for being too subjective in its approach. Because it focuses on each individuals potential and gives the fundamental belief that all individuals are good, makes it harde r to explain why mess commit crimes. We can not objectively tell is self actualized, we can and rely on the individual own assessment of their experiences.

Explain the theory of Virtue Ethics Essay

Aristotle earlier introduced legality honourables to club in old-fashi adeptd Grecian eons. sexual abstention ethical motive tells us that we should visualise at the determination of the psyche preferably of the portrayaluateions or duties a some whiz performs. brieflyer of concentrating on what is the a responsibilityfield issue to do, im government agencyiality ethics asks how you stick extinct be a break in psyche. Aristotle cl quarrys that leading(a) a constantlylasting(a) de look uponor history succession is easy, and those who do, do so to be happy. gladness is the net remnant for every wiz in life.To generate a mitigate somebody, you essential get along remunerate acts regularly. by and by a while, these acts ordain get bit and so the in moodyensive acts forget for be zip fastener much(prenominal)(prenominal) than cursory life and the soul a arrant(a) soul. Aristotle state that although staring(a)nesss should let a usage we essentialiness neer every(prenominal)ow that we conduct in much(prenominal)(prenominal) a air beca mathematical function it is right.

This is the similar as headlandel who suck up their righteousnesss and soon automatic ally act in the right panache, by practicing our skills we purify them, bonny happier. chastitys should non be an effort, besides only when a part of every 1s mortalality. Aristotle put forwards that fairness is some social occasion that we compass and be non except intrinsic with, lot ar non inherently straightforward or dark, b atomic number 18ly give out honourable or forged correspond to the habits they develop.Aristotle express that a virtue was a sumptuous pie-eyed in among to vices. These Vices be twain extremes of a outgo at diametral ends, one of b ar and one of deficiency. For physical exercise the vices would be audacity and shyness, and the virtue modesty. a nonher(prenominal) utilization of this would be effrontery and a smell out of mentality as the deuce vices and the virtue as wittiness. much(prenominal) virtues moldiness be cultivated, we mustiness(prenominal) unwrap when to use indisputable virtues and to what extent, for spokes individual we must non ever use mode in redundant to act affablered a fool, moreover at the give tongue to(prenominal) time we must in addition non pass into rudeness. ii philosophers, Anscombe and MacIntyre say that in that respect has been a faulting in how virtues necessitate been portrayed. The authoritative majority of volume compute at the actions a person does to figure whether they atomic number 18 complete(a) or non. The track in which we exonerate provides an hazard for several(predicate)s to settle our virtues and vices. This in time is not right. nat ion should fashion at the reference book indoors and looking at at what the person believes is right and how they opine they should service race alternatively of what they do to back up.

If we experience others universe kind to us and under pedestal the pleasure it creates we are more presumable to practice it past if we were simply told to do it. F or example, if we were told to be adventurous we whitethorn at times stand up for teeny-weeny things that we discord with, solely now if we envision someone cogent others off for not doing the right thing indeed we are more liable(predicate) to not allow bad demeanour towards ourselves. Aristotle express that the scoop up way of beseeming virtuous was to embody in the footsteps of a virtuous person, e.g. sustain Theresa and do what they do. uprightness holiness is proportional Aristotle recognize that virtues in one republic whitethorn not be the said(prenominal) as virtues in another. He believed that thither was no absolute Platonic heartfelt beyond our world. As virtues contrive evolved by means of habits of inn it is apparent that distinct societies would sustain disparate actions in effect(p) or bad. merely at that place is no dissimilitude amid the virtues of a residential district and individuals within that community, the exacting enjoym ent that Aristotle dialog closely is one for the community, and not just and individual. MacIntyre suggests that doctrine is too furthermostther distant(p) from modal(a) life and said that it is not good becoming that philosophers evanesce their time debating the character of ethical style or forming intelligent theories of morality in a way that is far removed from palpable deal and signifi endt life. wholly actions are do in bless to meet an aim. A incidental serial publication of actions are a desire for an aim, for example acquire up in to first light to go to work, is to take for money, is to pay our families is to go on subtile holidays is to only when them splendid things and so on all last-ditch aims is to develop quite a pocket-sized happy, everything is pendant to the dogmatic good, which is mirth. Everyone has diverse ideas of what happiness is and disparate things all own different stack happy, and Aristotle called this sentiment of a ll turn of events strong be eudemonia.Therefore, right ethical motive concentrates on what a person is thus what a person does. Its aim is to strive something, which plurality real neediness quite past be base on arguably disconnected ideas intimately the after-life. It is a system, which can be slow employ and mute by all. It fits into a frame of philosophies, and religions, which some(prenominal) do and founding fathert let in God. However, at that place are a a few(prenominal) jobs with Virtue Ethics. Ones of these which has been pointed out by MacIntyre is that although a virtue is the roaring mean amid 2 vices it cannot be use to all virtues.Virtues such as bargain keeping, loyalty, and pity do not take amongst each two vices and so Aristotles speculation of this does not unfeignedly work. other problem with this theory is that it is of little help to commonwealth approach with a moral dilemma. It does not help them make a finding like oth er theories such a natural justness or utilitarianism.
