At the turn of the new millennium, there were rumors that technology would collapse and the world would cease to exist in its current form. When this did not happen, a new theory emerged, based on the ancient Mayan calendars that claimed that the world, and life, would end in 2012. This doomsday prediction is based on claims of ancient manuscripts from all over the world. There is, however no scientific evidence that the world will end in 2012, or that the Mayans ever equated such relevance with the date, which is, in fact the last date on their calendar. ...

Was Nora right to leave at the end of the play?

Firstly, she was right to leave because Torvald treats her in a completely stereotypical way – like a doll, as the title of the page suggests. All the names he calls her as endearments have the effect of stressing her weakness and dependence on him. They make her sound like a child, a doll, Torvald’s personal plaything: “little songbird”, “squirrel”, “lark”, “little featherhead”, “little skylark”, “little person”, little woman.” It could be argued that these are harmless and loving endearments, but they clearly show the balance of power in the Helmers’ marriage. If Nora acts at times in a flirtatious and childish way, it ...

The theory of realism has been a source of constant conflict between the government policies and the academia. The lines put forth by John Mearsheimer bear testimony to this conflict. Mearsheimer believes, “Realism appears to have a bright future in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately, we still live in a nasty and brutish world where the great powers compete with each other for power. The only possible threat to realism is likely to come from inside academia, where it is frequently reviled. But any attempt to silence realism within the academy is likely to fail, simply because it is difficult to repress or ...

Introduction and thesis statement:

One may see beauty in several forms but essentially this is how we perceive others in our own light. McCuen Metherell and Winkler advise that one can take a story regarding a film as a typical example and look at the diverse aspects of beauty as perceived here (McCuen Metherell, Winkler Ch 10). Although American Beauty is a film which may perhaps not fit the bill perfectly in this respect, the authors in the book will most certainly appreciate the techniques and skills which are used to focus on beauty as an intrinsic natural issue.

A typical example would be when one person ...

In the annals of history concerning World War I, Germany is typically one of the only countries that was not only punished, but also given a bad reputation after the end of the conflict. Though the term “World War” suggests that they were not the only ones involved, it appears that they were the only enemies worthy of justified persecution. There are many reasons why other countries, such as Austria-Hungary, as it was known then, as well as Russia and Serbia, should have received negative recognition and discipline just as Germany did after the war ended. Though Germany had its ...

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that humans would soon run out of food to eat. He thought that the limits on the world’s arable land meant that food supply would simply not rise as quickly as population would. Even in 1798, Malthus felt that the population was at the point of growing faster than food supply, so he did not see this as a problem that would show up millennia later; instead, he saw it as an imminent development. Of course, we are still here, more than 200 years later, and the plenty available for sale in supermarkets throughout ...

Minimum wage is a social issue that affects most middle and lower income groups in United States. The government has addressed the issue by setting the minimum amount that every employer has to adhere to when compensating workers. However, most of these laws remain written on paper and are never implemented by most employers. Employees on the other hand continue being exploited by being made to work more for little. The main reason for this is because they lack the ability to negotiate with their employers who mostly give them the option of taking up the job or leaving it ...

Women are objectified in patriarchy. They have to use their sexuality in order to live a decent life and get what they want, because their position in the world doesn't allow them to achieve that kind of success alone. At least that was the case in 1953 when "Niagara" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" were filmed. In the fifties, emancipation of women was not at its peak. Women are victims in a male dominated world and their only chance is to marry preferably a rich man, who will support them. Lorelei and Dorothy sing: "Find a gentleman who is shy or bold; Or short ...

Physician –assisted suicide or euthanasia, which means terminating a person’s life, painlessly, with a ‘humane’ motive of putting an end to his suffering, has been going on for centuries.

In some countries, it is legalized, whereas it is still considered to be illegal in many other countries. However, today, most of the population, including the society as well as physicians, are in favor of this practice. If the benefits and harms of the practice are to be weighed, practicing euthanasia seems to ...

Captain Willard and Colonel Kurtz are the only important characters in Apocalypse Now, especially sense Willard is the narrator and the story is being told mostly through his thoughts and perceptions. As the story unfolds, it is the voyage to “find the insane Kurtz that is of paramount importance; all the other characters exist only to symbolize some aspect of the war” (Eperwein 100). Although the film is loosely based on Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Willard’s journey upriver into Cambodia is really a mythic tale the carries him into the heart of the Vietnam War, which in ...

Albert Camus’ novels The Plague and The Fall both have significant things to say about the human condition, though they take somewhat different strategies for telling them.

In The Fall, Jean-Baptiste Clamence is the clear narrator, the book taking the form of long monologues that brings the reader into the conversation with him.

When we speak of the Irish Renaissance, we can also be referring to a Celtic Renaissance. We call it the Irish Renaissance because it was championed principally by Irish writers, one of which, at least, used the Celtic tradition to invigorate the Renaissance. Ireland at the turn of the 20th century was mired in passions. Rebellion was always on the horizon, economic collapse was always imminent, the catastrophe of the Potato Famine was still a racial memory, and the rule of the English was still unbearable. From this potentially destructive social structure came some of the finest writing of ...

Horatio Alger's ideas and ideal about the American Dream was drafted at a time when social scientists were discussing the survival of the fittest.

Alger wrote about one hundred novels and stories for juveniles, which were originally published between the 1850s and 1900. Horatio Alger is now possibly better known ...

Introduction

The definition of physician assisted suicide is slightly different from the general term definition of euthanasia. Although some may equate physician assisted suicide with the blanket term, the distinction between euthanasia and physician assisted suicide is that the latter is done with both the patient’s and doctor’s intent to end the patient’s life by unnatural means (Tamayo-Vela´zquez, Simo´n-Lorda, and Cruz-Piqueras, 678). The doctor assists the patient in committing suicide, usually by administering an injection or pill that contains a lethal substance. A doctor may also administer a relaxant to help keep the patient calm during the ...

Supply chain management is an integrative philosophy to manage the flow of a distribution channel from the supplier to the ultimate user. It can be described as the monitoring and control of the flow of goods from the point of initial production to the point of final consumption.

In other words, customers are the end users of the goods produced by the supply chain. Production of goods will therefore be unnecessary if they do not ...

Essence of ‘To Live’
Historical accuracy and sensitivity is one of the most important aspects that weigh heavily on the film To Live (1994), which is directed by Zhang Yimou. From a viewer’s point of view, the film is an interesting event-raveling depiction of what occurred half a century or so ago in China.

By then, China was run by the political regime headed by Mao Zedong and this ...

One of the traits that is commonly associated with the writing of Southern storyteller Flannery O’Connor is the use of shocking violence in order to advance her rhetorical arguments. One of the more ironic uses of violence occurs when she chooses to use it for the representation of salvation, frequently through the use of characters who are physically and/or spiritually grotesque in nature. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is one of O’Connor’s most popular stories, and it demonstrates this principle. The Misfit is a murderer who shocks a Pharisaically pious grandmother into authentic spiritual awareness even ...

Learning is a journey that never ends. It has always been the only way for human development. The first pearls of wisdom were earned at home. We had our own unique set of teachers even before we stepped inside a classroom. Family, being the first models in our life, plays that vital and irreplaceable role. Refreshing the memories of childhood normally brings us to numerous times of playing with either a brother, sister, cousin, or neighbor. Generally, the siblings contribute the most influence. It is undoubtedly true that we needed all the guidance we could get. Though, there ...

Euthyphro defines piety as what the gods love. However, Socrates, who is under the charge of impiety, disagrees with this definition. The argument is based on this disagreement, as well as the definition by division. In this case, Socrates asks Euthyphro to provide another word that comes after piety. Socrates uses this strategy to provide counter arguments on the definitions provided. For this definition, Socrates recognizes that it is of a universal nature but criticizes it on the account that the gods may disagree on the basis of what is good and pleasing to them. In this case, different gods ...

The question of the merits of bringing and using cell phones in schools is a hotly contested issue over the years.

While the issue remains controversial, the fact remains that studies and researches related to the issue abound and most say that even if schools implement strict measures to ban ...

After the American Civil War of 1861 to1865, Americans were faced with the issue of reviving themselves from the changes brought about by the war.
