Is traditional shopping on the verge of disappearance? With the rapid growth of online shopping, more and more buyers do not bother to go outside in order to shop, particularly when it comes to electronics, house appliances, and even clothing. While shopping for food still means going to an actual market or supermarket, online markets are becoming an option for people who do not have time for this activity either. At a first view, traditional shopping seems to be condemned to fade away, as online shops become more and more popular. From children to older individuals, everyone seems to ...

The journey is something that has been discussed in literature for many years, as it carries a universal resonance for all people who wish to reach a destination or accomplish a goal. Eudora Welty and Robert Frost are two authors who examine the nature of the journey, and attempt to symbolize that nature in their short stories and poems, “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken,” respectively. Both “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken” are about how the journey we take through life defines us and gives us purpose. Phoenix’ journey is to help others and herself; the protagonist ...

Abstract

Decision-making under risk occurs when there is an uncertainty about the states of nature that can occur, but the probabilities of each of the states of nature occurring have already been determined. We can use these probabilities to determine additional strategies for decision-making. One such strategy is the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) approach for making an optimal decision. In the problem where the company had to decide on the right investment approach, the company had already done research to determine the various possible states of nature for each of the alternatives as well the probabilities of each of these ...

Summary of Thinking, fast, and slow by Daniel Kahneman
Introduction The author, Daniel Kahneman, hopes that the readers would benefit from the reading of his book, which is about biases of intuition. According to the author, it can be a tough choice between what we believe and what we want. Friends and colleagues help us in making and evaluating choices. The thinking process is one conscious thought leading to another. The mental work creates impressions and intuitions silently in our minds. We allow our beliefs, feelings and preferences to feel confident about our decision, even if ...

Insrtuctor’s Name

It is truth universally acknowledged that the theme of the human’s choice has always been popular with the poets and writers. It is not surprising that Robert Frost, an iconic American poet, addresses it in his most famous and most quoted poem, The Road not Taken (“The Norton Anthology of Poetry” 1232-1233). In spite of the widely spread opinion that the poem raises the problem of “being an individual” or “taking a different road from the masses” (Fagan 293), I strongly believe that the poet’s major intention is to emphasize that no matter what choice we make ...

Adolescence, as we know, is a period of puberty, a period of becoming sexually mature. On the one hand, individuals in the period of adolescence become ready for sexual relationships physiologically. On the other hand, most of the teens are not prepared for sexual relationship emotionally, psychologically, etc. That is why the sexual activity of adolescents is associated with different risk factors and negative outcomes.
Rector and colleagues conducted the study of approximately 6500 individuals of age 14-17 and investigated how the sexual activity of teen boys and teen girls influences their feeling of unhappiness and depression. Results of ...

Based on the intense training involved in sports at the high school level, students often regret the interference that sports training have on the amount of time they spend on academics. Apaak and Sarpong suggest that “student-athletes must typically balance the roles of being full-time student and at the same time being athletes” (Apaak & Sarpong, p. 1). Nonetheless, the dual roles can compound the psychological and emotional challenges that can impact personal development in the average teenager. With this in mind students, who are athletically inclined, regret playing sports because sporting activities often impinge on the time that should ...

Question 1: Role of an Apology

The purpose of an apology is to restore a pre-existing moral order by expunging hurtful effects of previous actions by accounting for what is not alterable. While it may not achieve this, the motivation for a transgressor to apologize includes the need for forgiveness and reconciliation, which makes it possible to paper over the transgressions and bar them from becoming permanent impediments to social relationships. Further, Tavuchis (1991) argues that apologies speak to some things that are larger than any specific betrayal or desire for expediency/reconciliation (p. 6). Social order is hinged on a measure of commitment to norms in respect of ...

Poetry is one of the most versatile and most potent forms by which human emotions seep out into cultural consciousness. Poets, through verse, elucidate human experience and attempt to convey their thoughts, feelings, and desires in the pursuit of artistry. And yet, happiness and optimism are not the only avenues which are explored through the art of poetry. For some, depression, loneliness, and regret are also potent sources of inspiration. In this regard, the transition between the poetic and artistic movement of modernism and postmodernism is fertile ground. The key figures here are Theodore Roethke, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert ...

The Iliad 3, Helen and Priam have a view of the battlefield of the Trojan war from the walls of the city of troy. In this text, a representation of the past, present and future of troy is represented in the conversations and descriptions that are made.
The past of Troy is indicated by the reference to the past heroes of the war, and the passage indicates on how they made sacrifices in the war. There is mention panthoos, Thymoites, Lampos, Klytios and hiketaon who is said to be a descendant (scion) of Ares. These individuals are said to be men ...

In the opening lines of Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie, the narrator Tom Wingfield addresses the audience and says, “The play is memory. Being a memory play, it is dimly lighted, it is sentimental, it is not realistic” (Williams 1.1.12-13). When he makes that statement, he establishes that he is not a reliable narrator; he is not omniscient. From the audience’s perspective, this statement means that they can regard both what he says directly to them as narrator and the statements he and other characters make to each other as not necessarily accurate. The play consists of his memories ...

Judy Canova was a singer/songwriter and radio host who helped to define what a woman could do in the realms of comedy and radio. In the emerging country culture of California, not many female country stars were filmed or recorded; Judy Canova was one of the first (Bufwack & Oermann, p. 111). As a comedienne and country singer/Broadway actress, Judy ran the gamut of the entertainment industry, her songwriting and singing being only one component of her vast talent. The songs and radio/film of Judy Canova very much reflect the ideas of what women could do in the 1940s and 1950s, exemplifying ...

Moral Intelligence Development Paper

Business Government and Society Moral Intelligence Development Paper
Upon completion of the Moral Competency Inventory (Lennick & Kiel, 2007) I discovered that there are several competencies that dominate my moral image. When I thought about one competency to choose so as to describe it is this paper, I decided to pick up the one that is the most important from my point of view. I can but say that it turned out to be really hard, as all the competencies are extremely important in life and should be paid proper attention and developed as soon as possible. After I ...

Failing never feels good when it happens initially. No one enters into a commitment with an intention to fail. Most people pursue a goal with the expectation to succeed. Unfortunately, failure is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Rather than perceiving failure as a negative event or incident, there is something quite valuable to learn when one fails. Without failure growth would be limited. I have heard many times throughout life that “we learn from our failures.” When I was younger I did not understand this concept, and even as I matured this idea did not sound appealing. However, ...

Personal Ethics

There is absolutely no doubt for me that any contemporary society requires ethical values to be observed by everyone.
These values are necessary because they would serve to regulate the relationship between people and set some particular rules of accepted behavior. Besides, basic universal values are already spread all over the world.
Living in a society we are all interdependent. If I can rely on people around me, I am able to move forward without any feeling of fear or suspicion. Moreover, I am able to learn from these people how to be consistent, I learn what it means ...

Burnt Norton is one of four T.S. Eliot’s poems in The Four Quartets. It was the first one which was written and published. The other three, East Coker, The Dry Salvages, and Little Gidding, followed only several years later. All four poems are related to each other through the idea of man’s attitude to time and life. Burnt Norton, being the first in the quartet, introduces the theme from the very beginning with philosophical speculations about the interconnectedness between present, past, and future.
In her lecture devoted to Eliot’s Four Quartets, Belinda Jack points the three ...

Stephen Crane, the author of A Dark Brown Dog, weaves a short story filled with vast amounts of imagery and symbolism. He creates an in-depth comprehensive description of an adopted dog, a young boy, and the growth of their relationship. Although the title suggests that the story will be about a dog, it does not reveal the cycle of abuse that plays out with the characters. Therefore, the seemingly innocent title of the story does not lets the audience know that there is an underlying theme within the story. This essay will examine the various literary devices that Crane ...

Thomas Heywood in an Elizabethan play “A Woman Killed with Kindness” regrets the things he has done and refers to God asking if there is any chance for him to return to the past and change what he has done. His words are full of hopelessness, as he understands that it is impossible, but the damage is so strong that he cannot help but wonder if there is a tiniest possibility that he could go back in time and redeem the mistakes. With all the technological advances, a lot of ideas and science fiction inventions were turned into life, ...

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex state that is usually caused by the traumatic event or prolonged exposure to the extreme situations (APA, 2015). While people tend to react differently on traumatic events, the majority of them develop one or several symptoms that qualify for the diagnosis of PTSD. Specifically, the individuals with PTSD suffer from recurrent distressing memories about the traumatic event, repeating dreams and flashbacks involving the stressful situation, and prolonged psychological distress (APA, 2015).
Moreover, patients with this disorder tend to avoid the methods of mitigating their traumatic ...

Bioethics is an important element in the decision-making processes of medical professionals. Mrs. Brown, who is forty-two years old and currently pregnant, requests a genetic test to confirm whether her unborn child has Klinefelter’s Syndrome, which is characterized by an extra X chromosome in the genetic sequence – XXY (Bojesen and Claus,807). The possible defects of Klinefelter’s syndrome include sterility, excessive tallness, enlarged breasts that can be corrected through surgery, behavioral issues, and possible mental retardation (Bojesen and Claus 807). Mrs. Brown’s fears for her child to undergo gender- identity crises when she grows up. She ...

Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of the victims and offenders. It gives a different approach on how the society deals with justice. It contrasts with more punitive approaches where the primary objective is to punish the offender and satisfy legal principles. Van Ness and Strong text emphasize four different restorative justice (RJ) values which the authors believe to be “corner posts” of restorative justice practice. These values include inclusion, encounter, amends and reintegration. It is important to give a brief description of what these values. For instance, inclusion is indicated as a ...

Nietzsche’s doctrine dedicated to the topic of eternal recurrence is considered to be one of the least clarified concepts in his works. The philosopher claimed that the initial idea of eternal recurrence emerged in 1881 during his journey in Switzerland (Nietzsche & Hoover 14). Nietzsche claimed that eternal recurrence is a valid scientific hypothesis, which states that every process in this world recurs constantly in the certain period of time. According to this notion, time is infinite and change is eternal (Nietzsche & Hoover 28). Also, eternal recurrence suggests that energy is always constant and finite, so as its numerous ...

An Analytic Review

In Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” we get a glimpse of the author’s childhood relationship with his father. In this work, Hayden describes a child’s view of a father from a now-adult perspective. His regret is evident, and the sadness in his voice rings down the corridors of time.
“Those Winter Sundays” begin with a description of Hayden’s father rising in the early hours even on “Sundays too” (1), letting the reader know he gets up every morning in the same way. Using consonance, Hayden drives home both the hour and the temperature, noting “the ...

The hateful mid-afternoon sun beat down us as if in complete spite and outrage that we dared defy it. As I looked up into the crowd I was reminded of the words of Mohandas Gandhi that satisfaction lies in effort and not in attainment or success. Once, during the uncomfortably ho afternoon, even the little wind that had made the rest of the morning bearable had finally kept off, so much so that the air then felt like a thick and wet blanket. My skin felt equally dry and sticky with dry sweat and dust, but it did not ...

I was fourteen when I first heard of the “F” word. I was walking down the street to a friend’s house when a man standing by the corner suddenly said it to my face. This happened in the UK where I was taking up an English course. I did not know what the word meant, but by his facial expression I knew that it was nothing good. At this time, I was just starting to learn English, and the word did not appear in the textbooks. ...

Ever since I was born, I have been told that English is an important language to master. Unfortunately, being young and careless, I did not register the importance of it right away. When I was in middle school, my parents would drop me off for an extra English tuition after classes, or they thought they did. I was quite rebellious and most of the times I would simply pretend to go up the stairs and then snick to a nearby arcade with friends once our family car drove out of sight. I was perfectly content with the way things were ...

Implications of an Ethical Issue-Abortion

Introduction
In one’s day to day life, decisions are made. These can be minor decisions like what to wear or major decision that has an impact on their life and that of others. When making these decisions people base their answers on a variety of understandings. Some of the basis of decisions includes morality or ethics from a Christian perspective. These two bases guide one in what is right and what is wrong using principles and beliefs previously formed. Abortion is one critical decision that can be supported and condemned using moral and ethical set standards.

Insights that behavioral finance provide for personal finance and personal financial planning

Behavioral finance is a fresh hypothesis in the finance theory. It aims at understanding and forestalling the psychosomatic decision-making of private investors and the repercussions of such decisions on the financial market. It fails to substitute but compliments the existing theories of finance and investment (Tyson, 2012). The task looks at psychological investment decisions and financial planning of individuals.
The paper seeks to provide clear information regarding the insight that behavioral finance aspects provide in personal finance in addition to financial planning. So as to do this, I will explore behavioral finance. Then I will discuss the components of ...

The story brought me to the highs and lows of Jeremy and China’s love for one another. I was very anxious to continue reading the story and find out how something as good as it was going to end. During the first part wherein their love story was being described, I had this warm and light feeling. Their relationship was perfect, the kind that I believe most teenagers their age would love to have. They loved each other, and their parents and families accepted and supported their relationship. Even greater is the fact that despite the intensity of ...

Edgar Allen Poe can best be described as a writer who was seriously influenced by neo-Gothic interests. A great American writer, Poe was attracted and influenced by the neo-Gothic writers much before his time because of which, most of his work is on horror. Poe was also witness to a period of uncertainty in society as deceit, murder for gain, revenge and arson was quite common. While courts played an important role in trying to curb this menace, cases were manipulated to benefit the guilty. This had a profound impact on Poe who used certain themes of court matters to develop his ...

Inquiry 1

Growing up in a traditional Chinese family, I am the single child who is living with my parents. In conventional Chinese culture, parents are supposed to take care of their children to such age until the children get married. In some cases, children are receiving family economic support even having their own babies. On one hand, Chinese children are exposed to less social stress with the help of their parents. On the other hand, the parenting style brews a mindset that children should conform to their parents’ requests unconditionally. My family is from one of these traditional families. My parents are ...

Lu Xun and the May Fourth Movement

The May Fourth movement happened in May 4th 1919 and was in fact one of one the most pivotal times in the history in China (Goldman, 4). At this time China was one of the most thriving economies in the world with trade, agriculture and culture governed by tradition. Some young students had gone abroad to further their studies. On coming back and influenced by the cultures of the countries in which they had studied they sought to revolutionize the country so that it could become more westernized and democratic (Goldman, 6). Over time people have argued that some ...

The poem Those winter Sundays written by Robert Hayden depicts a reflection a grownup has bout their childhood Sundays. It is clear that the idea of appreciating family is not there from the very beginning and hence, the persona and the rest of the family members never appreciated their father. As a grownup, the persona looks back and feels the father deserved love, respect and affection now that no one gave this to him at that time. The persona recognizes his father’s effort compounded with love for his family at a later time which means that at the time when the father ...

Moving from one place to another frequently does affect everyone’s life. It is worse off when it comes to children and teenagers. It is not any easy to pack up over again and leave the environment and people one is used to just to make new friends who will just last a short time before they getting back to packing again. It is especially hard when a teenager has just started to settle down in a new place and starting to make friends. Worse still, teenagers undergo so much emotional and physical changes that when they do not have people they ...

Introduction

Through the years, theorists use a variety of theories in attempts to explain human development socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Among the most used theories are those of psychosocial development; the main contributor is Erik Erikson. His theory on psychosocial development is one of the most influential personality theories; he focuses on the belief that a human being develops in stages. The occurrences at every stage develop the person’s psychosocial abilities; Erikson explores the influence of social experiences throughout a person’s lifespan (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2006). The development of ego identity is a significant element in Erikson’s stages; ego identity refers ...

- “The Death of Ivan Ilych” by Leo Tolstoy (Novel)
- Death of a Salesman, directed by Laszlo Benedek (Film)
- “Piano Man,” written and performed by Billy Joel (Music)
All three of these works relate to the ways in which we live our lives, and the necessity to be able to view our lives much more abstractly and open-mindedly – the works feature characters who are either served well or could be served well by their capacity for critical thought ...

When people describe an event as “tragic,” the first thing that comes to mind is that something terrible has happened to a person or people. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines tragedy as “a very bad event that causes great sadness and often involves someone's death; a very sad, unfortunate, or upsetting situation , something that causes strong feelings of sadness or regret, [or] a play, movie, etc., that is serious and has a sad ending.” In life, it is not difficult to classify particular situations as tragic, such as the ending of a young life by a drunk driver or the destruction of the World Trade Center by terrorists. ...

Choices are always difficult. Whatever decision you make at some point in your life you will regret it. However, the burden of consciousness, shame and regret that you carry wherever you go if you do not follow your instinct is much more difficult. These types of decisions are always made alone, without discussing them with family, without making them public. Just as is the case with everyone else, I too encountered a difficult choice, one of many crossroads and the decisions that I made were at the times easy, but the burden of embarrassment is still present at nights when ...

Introduction to Cinema

Anneke Smelik has regarded that cinema can be considered as a cultural practice wherein there are mythologies regarding women and the female gender; as well as men and male gender, which depicted legends concerning sexual differences that have been created, fabricated and epitomized (Smelik, 1998, p. 7). Smelik has identified the sexual differences as major obstacles that have been defied by women’s rights movements. As a result, several female directors have emerged to create a better understanding on how films and movies strengthens the folklores on sexual difference, and how it was magnified by some film theorists who symbolized women as ...
