Video in Opera Stage

Introduction
Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

Do we have a duty to intervene in conflicts around the world? Why or why not? Use Kant/vices to answer this question.
Kant argues that human being has the capability of knowing what it right as well as the capability of willing to do it (Kant 149). Conflict around the world is not a good thing; however, intervening to stop is a good deed. As such, as a human being, we feel the urge to do what is right, which is to stop it. Additionally, stopping the conflict does not yield pleasure to the person doing it; nonetheless, they ...

Human Development is the concept of enhancing the experience of human existence in terms of several factors that affect the lives of humans. Different people have different interests, needs, strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities. Thus, human development is not just about creating multiple avenues for humans to develop their lives, but also to make these avenues for development very accessible to any human being. Human Development emphasizes that good economic status is very important but is simply a means to a much more important end—the wellbeing of humans. The goal of human development is to make every human being ...

It is commonly known fact that human beings are basically social animals and are not able to live for their own. However, the main difference between animal and people is that humans have souls and mind which let them live in peace, cooperate and help each other. One of forms of this support is volunteering.

The aging process occurs during a person’s lifespan. Nobody can escape this process and it happens to everyone. Aging is associated with maturation, growth, and discovery (Cohen et al., 2015). Many abilities of human beings peak before the age of 30, but there are other abilities that continue to grow and develop throughout the life of a person. Most people who are over the age of 65 are healthy, fully independent, and happy while others start experiencing signs of deterioration. These changes are normal and not harmful. The hair thins and start turning gray and skins thins and ...

When people make their choices in life, they are influenced by the society that surrounds them by changing their social conditions in ways that may at some point encumber or even support their life with family.

Development is the movement, growth, and transition made by an individual from one state to another in life. This research has been able to state clearly the stages made by people who are developing from one stage to another. This ...

Most of the culture-related problems facing 3rd world countries rely on traditional methods of production such include the participation rate of men and women. Women are not very active in the labor force. There are beliefs that women should not participate in particular jobs thus lowering the number of viable employees (Jiang 190).

Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

Most people assume that the capacity to endure hardships and extreme situations is inexhaustible for soldiers. However, while it is in fact hard to break them, some of the experiences these service men get while in combat remain last as dark, disturbing memories. During warfare operations, service men are exposed to life-threatening events where some narrowly escape with their lives. Such experiences may include car accidents, explosions and enemy raids among other events that are characteristically deadly. In result, when exposed to such experiences, service men experience polytrauma among other forms of psychological conditions. Polytrauma refers to the resultant ...

While sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present and future generations, and a focus on prevention of environmental degradation, several factors influence the attainment of these goals, specifically culture and organizations. Sustainable development as a concept first appeared in the Brundtland Report of the World Commission on Economic Development (Buchanan 29). The Brundtland Commission was established in 1985 to address environmental problems due to economic development. Atmospheric pollution, climate change and global warming, accumulated wetlands, decreased freshwater quality, topsoil degradation, endangered species of animals and fishes, and forest degradation were environmental concerns discussed in the Brundtland Commission ( ...

Community bank is an independent, small and locally-owned commercial bank, which operates and obtains its funds solely from the community, where it is based.
Community banks focus on providing traditional banking, derive deposits locally and mostly make loans to local businesses. It is widely known that today community banks provide most of the loans to our nation's small businesses and are an important financial resource to small cities. Because of that and because of the fact that they have knowledge of their local community and their customers, they are called “relationship” banks. They base their credit and loan decisions ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

Abou-Al-kacem El-chebbi was a prominent Tunisian poet, because he wrote a lot of poems about patriotism and the need to strive for the better lives no matter how strong the political regime in Tunisia was. Almost a century later his poems are still relevant, because colonialism in Tunisia was changed by the totalitarian regime that does not respect the people’s human rights. What is more, his poems to some extent reflect the overall political situation in many countries of the Arab world.
In the poem “The Will To Live” El-chebbi writes “If I have the ambition to achieve ...

Introduction

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child. In fact, the emotional turmoil created by growing up in such an environment heightens the chances of the infant engaging in rebellious activities such as drug abuse and other denial behaviors in their youth. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that Susie’s exposure to childhood molestation at an early age contributed to her drug problems and overall response to his abusive marriage. Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

Fairytales play an important role in the formation of personality in childhood. Knowing this, most parents read stories to their children. In fact, every fairy tale has a moral lesson that is presented in the form of a narrative. And children, by reading stories, automatically learn certain truths.

Probably everyone used to read this story as a child. It seemed that everything is clear in it. This paper presents a ...

Description of the Type of Crime and Criminal Behavior

The discussions in this paper will focus on Alex Johnson et al.’s (01) report on the Kansas shooting spree incident featuring the already-neutralized suspect Cedric Larry Ford. Killing sprees are not uncommon in the United States. This is mainly because of the rather lax gun ownership laws in the country, something which is unique especially when it gets compared side by side with the gun ownership laws in other countries, even the most liberalized ones. In the said criminal incident, the suspect, Cedric Larry Ford went on a shooting spree across two separate (but adjacent) towns in the ...

Everyone is acquainted to the notion of a teenager. In the American culture, there is the concept of a teenager, which determines the socio-demographic group of people aging from 13 to 20 years.

Every year juvenile delinquency increases largely and there should be observed ...

Abstract

Cultural sensitivity is an issue that is central to health and ethnicity, and also to creating programs for disease prevention and health promotions for varying ethnic and racial populations. The rationale, under which programs for promoting health are build, is based on three basic observations; the varying patterns in the predictors of the behaviors of health, different groups show; the differences in the rates of disease prevalence as indicated by various ethnic and racial groups; and the patterns exhibited by the same groups in the prevalence of risk factors imposed by their behaviors. The differences between the prevalence rates ...
