Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 science fiction film Under the Skin is a supremely stylized, innately profound work that utilizes kaleidoscopic visuals and an unsettling performance from Scarlett Johannson to explore issues of the male gaze and take them to their furthest conclusion. Telling the story of an alien (Johansson) who comes to Earth and entices men with sex for her own twisted, mysterious purposes, Under the Skin charts the progression of a woman’s experience by simultaneously giving her a power and a predatory agency that women are not typically afforded, then stripping that agency away bit by bit ...

This technique ensures that an observer relates one art to another so as to understand its meaning. In my perspective, making implicit comparisons of an object with other objects may sometimes play a major role on viewers since ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history.
As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Introduction
The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

A growing concern has been rising within public and policy domains as fundamental elements in providing safe and quality health care have been lacking.

Media Consumption and Materialism/Consumerism

Globally, consumption and materialism have become a fundamental component of the prevailing culture. Humans consume a myriad of products and resources that extend beyond their basic necessities to include technological innovations and luxuries aimed at improving efficiency and quality of life. Throughout history, consumption beyond basic needs has served as a method of boosting human happiness. Hence, excessive consumption does not necessarily pose harm to human life (Shah). Increasingly, however, important issues regarding media consumption and materialism have emerged in recent decades. As such, this study examines the neuroscience of human emotions, the use of recreational substances, and the ...

“Learning to Read” by Frederick Douglass

In “Learning to Read” Frederick Douglass wrote the story of his personal experience with one of the most prohibited and dangerous acts that a slave in the pre-Civil War South could do: learning to read. It is a narrative that is both shocking and revealing of insight into the times and place where it took place, the power of the institution and practice of slavery to dictate evil into the hearts of men and women, and of the dedication and strength of the personality of Frederick Douglass. A close reading demonstrates not only Douglass' narrative techniques, but his skills ...

The past few years the issue of police brutality and the relationship between the police and the communities they are meant to serve have become a major issue here in the United States. This issue has been raised by a series of escalating events in which many unarmed African American men and women have been killed by police with apparently very little cause. One of the most shocking cases and the one that has created the most conversation occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and it surrounded the death and subsequent protests of teenager Michael Brown. The events in Ferguson nearly ...

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF ESSAY ON “Students and Money: In Their Own Words”

The first Rhetorical device I see in the Essay on "Students and Money: In Their Own Words." By Karpeck, Griffin is the device “PATHOS” which is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.
I consider the author is very much successful in this regard. In the first few lines itself he appeals to the emotion by saying that his friends smirk at him by looking at his need to do that menial job and he too has taken up the job reluctantly (i.e. he is forced ...

The Shewhart cycle also known as Deming model and the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. It is a continuous quality improvement model that is comprised of a logical sequence of the four monotonous steps to make continuous improvement and for learning. The model is considered a continuous feedback loop because it helps to identify and change the components of the process in order to reduce variation. The main aim of the cycle is to plan to do something, checking to evaluate the meeting of all requirements, and rectification of process to get desired results (Ledlow & Coppola, 2013). The four ...

Identifying the requirements

For a logo to be effective it requires to be simple, easy to remember, it is not necessary that a logo be graphically related to the organization it is representing, it may not make sense at all visually as brand but if it is simple and people can easily remember it, then it becomes very useful and powerful tool for branding. As far as requirements for a brand go, it is self explanatory; a logo is a simple identification mark that people can use to identify a company that is its only function.

In case when we are using the language that is not our native one, there is always a risk of misunderstanding or a conflict.

The character of Bartleby is the most interesting narrative from the narrator of Bartleby the Scrivener. The narrator describes Bartleby as “one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and, in his case, those were very small”.

The description of the first scrivener is that of Turkey who the narrator describes as excellent in the morning but poor in the afternoon. The narrator also describes Nippers as ambitious and whose character is directly ...

There are those who would justify the enslavement of humans by pointing to the enormous amount of wealth generated through that enslavement and that that enslavement was a sacrifice to which blacks willingly, though unwittingly, took part. If that were a valid assessment of the enslavement of so many for the benefit of so few, then its validity would sit on the testimony of those who were enslaved. However, that testimony, as found in Fredrick Douglas’ Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas does not support such an outlandish premise. On the contrary, Douglas’ Narrative witnesses the atrocity that ...

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien is a novel about the experiences of a group of American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The fact that the narrator includes himself while also providing real names throughout the narrative creates a style of writing that borders fiction and non-fiction. The narrator introduces Lieutenant Jimmy Cross who is the leader of the platoon of soldiers as well as his memories of Martha, a constant reminder of his unreciprocated love. When the platoon is faced with death, Cross reconsiders his priorities and burns everything that reminds him of his life before the ...

Learning a second language can be a challenging experience for a person of any age. The general population typically believes that second language acquisition or SLA is easier for children than adults. Some regard this as a myth while others insist it is true. Studies show that the way people learn languages at different ages can vary and that can affect the ease or difficulty in ability to learn. People learn a second language for many different reasons: a) individuals may be raised with two languages spoken in their home, b) students at school are often required to learn ...

Donovan’s Charge and Fences are two plays that are written in completely different time periods—arguably, for two very different audiences. The topic of race and the discussion and discourse surrounding race are different today than they were when Wilson wrote his landmark play Fences. However, despite the fact that these plays were written in different times, there are still common themes that remain the same throughout both plays. Most notably, the conflict between pragmatism and morality runs strongly through both plays.
In Fences, Wlison’s characters Troy and Rose face the world very differently. Rose is the ...

Architecture is viewed as the art of science that involves coming up with design in the form of a drawing, managing, and constructing structures such as building complexes, swimming pools, parks, and other various structures in a particular proportion and shape.

One of the magnificent works of architecture has been the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai, UAE; that is the highest sky scraper to date. The enormous growth of the architectural world ...

A theory is a set of interrelated propositions that are used in guiding practice or explaining certain phenomena. Theories in the nursing profession play a crucial role in this regard. Theories help in explaining phenomena and organizing knowledge in the nursing practice. Additionally, theories help in predicting, explaining, prescribing and describing some aspects in the nursing profession. Through these roles, the theories provide guidance to the profession and help in improving practice and patient outcomes. This paper thus aims at describing, evaluating and discussing Katherine Kolcaba’s theory of comfort.

While every theoretical framework has merit, this author believes that many of the dominant theories-- realism (specifically neorealism, in contrast to “classical realism”), liberalism and neofunctionalism--are inadequate in their ability to properly describe the changes that have taken place in recent Turkish international relations. For the purposes of this study, the author has concluded that the most meritorious theories which can be applied towards Turkey are three main bodies of the “New Institutionalisms”: Rational-Choice Institutionalism, Sociological Institutionalism and Historical Institutionalism. These theoretical frameworks have been chosen because of their flexibility. A major drawback of most theoretical models is ...

Abstract:
Feminism is the collection of movements aimed at defining, defending and establishing equal social, political and economic rights and opportunities for women. Feminism is focused mainly on issues of women even though some men are also victims of feminism such as gender and sexism roles. Feminist theory also emerged from feminist movements which include general theories about origins of inequality and about social constructions of gender and sex. Campaigns are going on for women’s rights by the feminist activists. The activists have opposed sexual harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence (McDonald, P. 2008).

In harm’s way is a famous (some would say the definitive) account of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis – which has become one of the most notorious incidents involving the US Navy during World War two, because her sinking led to the greatest loss of life that the Us Navy suffered in a single engagement. Stanton tells the background to the ship’s sinking, but the book stands out because of the first-hand accounts of the sailors who survived the initial attack and then waited days to be rescued. As we shall see some of the sailors’ accounts are harrowing ...
