Descriptive representation; this is the degree to which a representative bear a resemblance to those he/she represents such that they share similar characteristics like race, ethnicity, sex or residence.

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Written by Huxley Aldous, Brave New World revolves around the making of a human controlled world to ensure correlation among the same.

Introduction

There are numerous ways how an organization, be it a for profit or a not for profit organization, can show to their stakeholders that they are not just concerned about organizational survival and revenue generation but also concerned how they can return the favors they have received, whatever they may be, back to the people and society. This is, in fact, the reason why most companies have started to integrate corporate social responsibility measures in their organization.
The same principle can be applied when it comes to the decision of adding a corporate philanthropy department in an organization. Corporate philanthropy is ...

Introduction

The bloody Algerian Civil War was triggered off when the army staged a coup d’état to halt an impending second round election victory by the Islamic Salvation Front. However, the causes of the conflict are both complex and interrelated. The deposition of President Chadli Benjedid in January of 1992 and cancellation of the election results, brought to a head the more than three years of continuous riots and demonstrations in the lead up to the first ever multiparty. The basic problem stems from the country’s indecision on whether to introduce democracy or not, especially when it became apparent that ...

The three major types or forms of government include the:

Monarchial type of government;
Monarchical governments consist of the rule by a king or queen. In other monarchies, the king is the emperor. Here, the governed are under the laws of the royal families, and there is some dictatorship in some cases. There are little chances given to the commoners to give their views on laws of the land by those in power.

Democratic form of government

In this form, there is a feeling that everyone takes part in the process of moving the government forward. People have a certain freedom, and it is simply a government of the people by the people.

Aristocratic or dictatorship form of government

This involves the ...

Minority students that can be targeted for retention programs include students from the African-American, Hispanic, Native American, Filipino and Hawaiian ethnicities. The issues that need to be addressed in order to retain minority students in higher education nursing programs include more academic preparation, more support from faculty, and the availability of health the insurance. The wrong perceptions about nurses start as young as Kindergarten and last through elementary and high school. Long term solutions to the retention problem can start when nursing associations and university departments need to reach out to local school districts by offering help ...

The Grapes of Wrath is a novel written by John Steinbeck as he gives the story revolving around the family of Joad. The novel illustrates oppression and hardship that faced the migrants’ workers during the great depression. In depth it is a political tract that governed collectivist action on oppressing those looking for jobs. In the same sense, the speech that was delivered by Martin Luther King on the oppression of the black people has a lot of similarities as compared to the The Grapes of Wrath. Martin Luther speech covers the oppression nature of the blacks as well.

Summary and critical review of ‘To His Excellency General Washington’

Introduction
I do not think Phillis Wheatley should have written a letter to George Washington praising him for fighting for America’s freedom. I believe she should have addressed the fact the she was brought to America from Africa as a slave. She should have written about the freedom for the African’s that were enslaved for hundreds of years, instead of worrying about George Washington’s fight for America’s freedom. In the following analysis of the letter of introduction, and the subsequent poem, Phillis Wheatley comes across as a poet who was out of touch with her roots and ...

This selection of Fredrick Douglass “Learning to Read and Write”, he wrote that he was serving as a slave for seven years to the Hugh family. During this time period he learned how to write and read, as in the initial days Mrs. Hugh was kind which was as he said, "teaching me the alphabet"(Douglass, p.101). His mistress taught him how to read but later on she adopted the attitude similar to her husband. He was even discouraged from learning by her ...

Introduction

Addressing the objective of this academic investigation engages in dialogue how the writings of Norma Alarcon, Kimberle' Crenshaw, Judith Butler, and Roderick Ferguson align with the rearticulation of the theory of intersectionality criticizing the liberal notion of identity and subjectivity of women social and political issues. The ensuing academic goal also includes examining how these authors' seeming discrepant situations actually allow delineation of their shared point of conjecture, critical dialogues, and challenges of women in the 21st century.

The social inequalities and injustice were common across North America and such discriminations instigated the feminists to defy subjugation and fight for equality. Social change efforts have been met with significant barriers across the years, and yet women’s movement has been successful to varying degrees since it emerged (Bromley 2012, p.132). I believe that economic system also contributed towards women’s liberation; however according to (Firestone 1970, p.22) reproduction of human species was an important economic system distinct means of production and he observed that labor was divided ...

Summary – Katula and Donald

In Katula’s essay “The Gettysburg Address as the Centerpiece of American Racial Discourse,” the author argues that Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was the turning point at which America’s destiny was turned to the search for racial equality. The work itself is largely an opinion piece, only working from speculation of the Address itself in the context of history (citing other importance civil rights events like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Brown v. Board of Education and more) to paint the Address as something that inspired all these other cultural advances. As a professor of African-American studies, Katula ...

The complete failure of the Arab nations to form a national narrative for the purpose of unification and the establishment of contemporary egalitarian polities happens to be the primary cause behind the ongoing socio-political explosion in the Arab world in recent times. Unity is no longer the major goal and the construction of a society that is capable of mobilizing its resources to combat backwardness and enhance the financial condition of the state has taken a backseat. The elite class has instead tried to enforce a brand of unity via Islam and Arab nationalism that has alienated portions of the population not present ...

Higgins in his book, Understanding the Chiapas Movement seeks to bring to view the Zapatistas as part and parcel of the Mexican history in regard to the encounter between the Mexican and Maya. He concentrates on the fact that the problems existing between the Mexican state and the Zapatistas were foreseen and therefore meant to happen. The state never really recognized the indigenous as important. The state assumed that the Mayans were primitive and less important something that never went down well with the locals. Higgins major concern is the fact that neoliberals is at stake and should be ...

Question 1:

The civil rights era was an era that goes down in America’s history as the stepping stone for equality. It was characterized by events that were and are still celebrated as US’ most important stepping stones to full democracy. One of Martin Luther King’s most famous speeches, I Have a Dream, he gives some of the hopes that he desires to see. He describes his desire to see black people, referred to as “sons of former slaves”, living in harmony with the whites referred to as “the sons former slave owners” (James, 2004).

Napoleon has proved to be the greatest military genius who employed tactics during his reign. Napoleon’s campaign formed the basis of military education throughout the entire western world-influencing majority of the military reasoning until date. Majority of the civil rampages have followed the methods of Napoleon and have ensured lots of success. Napoleon’s understanding of mass warfare in addition to his success in raising, organizing, and equipping the mass armies changed the war and the origin of the contemporary combat. In fact, few commanders or none at all before Napoleon fought more wars under distinctive weather conditions, ...

Abstract
This literature review paper focusses on the subject of the role of dreams and the relationship between those dreams and hope. For this purpose three readings of different genres have been selected, to see what and how the three writers have expressed their dreams. The three pieces of literature under study are, a poem called ‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake, Martin Luther’s speech ‘I have a dream’ and the speech by Abraham Lincoln, popularly known as the ‘Gettysburg Address’.
‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake addresses the issue of child labor and the social oppression that a ...

1.In this story, the idea of ultimate Freedom is the freedom to opt out of the city, where one cannot question why a solitary child is consigned to misery in a basement cell, denying it basic human rights, seemingly for the greater good of the society. In other words, those who enjoy the many positive aspects of the society in the city of Omelas do not have the choice of questioning this single act of barbarity; neither does the child have any choice but to endure the confinement in pitiable conditions. Those who cannot put up with this, those who do ...

Literature Review

Literature review is the process of describing the relevant literature to a given topic or piece of work. It is beneficial because it gives the reader a glimpse of the existing, relevant theories and hypotheses including the methodologies useful in that field of work or topic. It makes use of secondary sources a representation that the research has no new information. In my literature review, I will discuss the different aspects of homelessness among blacks and ethnic minority groups in the UK.
My method of searching for relevant sources include a wide search of various websites among them, governmental departments, shelter England, ...

It is never right when an entire group of people is reduced to a single thought or action. The same is true when an entire region or religion is reduced to sexism. There has never been a period of time when men have had to join together and work to usurp their rights. Men have not had to live in fear of being exploited by the women of their culture or the women of other cultures. The very thought of such a thing happening is almost unimaginable, inconceiveable, and unthinkable – not only in modern times – but in any time in history. Men ...

Analysis of "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin

"The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin contains a most unique theme of freedom within death. However, the miraculous and graceful way in which the character Mrs. Mallard meets freedom within death is exquisite. A sense of sadness is expected of a widow. Upon hearing of her husband’s passing Mrs. Mallard “wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment” indicating that she was indeed mourning her husband. Yet, Chopin twists descriptive adjectives like new, delicious, joy, dream and free into the description of Mrs. Mallard’s experience to promote a sense of freedom within an event that should be sad.

The Narrative of the Life was written entirely by Frederick Douglass himself who was a former slave. The novel describes his life as a slave, the horrors of slavery, and his struggle for freedom. He created the abolitionist movement in his effort to free his fellow African-American from slavery. Billy Bud, Sailor is a novel written by Herman Melville. The novel describes the life of a young, handsome and innocent sailor who was executed for accidentally killing his officer. His death was lovingly remembered and became a living symbol for all sailors.
Both novels represent cruelty, injustice and violation on human rights. Billy ...

The book under the title ‘The mimic men’ is narrative book which has a simple structure to understand since it heavily employs the use of flashbacks and flash forwards. This makes it simple to understand what the protagonist in the novel has gone through (James, paragraph 2). The book is more of a confession and autobiography of the protagonist (Singh) who has just retired in one of the suburbs in London after spending many years in Isabella as a minister (Roberts, paragraph 2).
The book revolves around the world of Isabella, an island which has just received independence from its colonialists. ...

Analysis - "Story of an Hour"

In Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour," Louise Mallard, a woman "afflicted with a heart trouble" learns over the course of the story that her husband is dead. The story follows the progression of her emotions from shock and horror to a feeling of liberation and freedom, as she feels relief of the burden of being wife. A very controversial story when it was first published, Chopin's tale (like many of her works) deals with the unexpected ability of women to liberate themselves and operate separately from men (Jamil, 2009). This theme of female empowerment in a patriarchal age shines through this short ...

‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” starts with Peyton Farquhar standing on bridge, with his hands tied behind his back and a noose around his neck. His execution is near and he diverts himself from reality and focuses on his imagination in which he is with his wife and children. Again he opens his eyes and sees driftwood in water below. Soon he imagines himself as the driftwood floating and escaping from water, away from his executioners and near his home. He finds his way home, travel throughout the day and when he is about to embrace his wife, the ...

Abstract

This paper will analyse three of the literary elements – tone, point of view and symbolism - in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour. Each of these elements will be analysed in turn so that their contribution to the overall meaning of the story can be assessed. These three elements have been chosen because they are crucial to a full understanding of the story and also because, as this paper will demonstrate, at certain points of the story they are closely interlinked: that the tone depends on the point of view, that the symbolism depends on the point of ...

Part of the enjoyment of poetry is the acceptance that some poems or parts of poems cannot be pinned down to a single meaning. Explore this view of poetry, and the ways in which poets use of language and from invites different readings.

In this essay I will be exploring ‘Blackberry-Picking’ by Seamus Heaney, ‘Two Scavengers in a Truck’ by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’ by Maya Angelou. In different ways they show that poems cannot be pinned down to a single meaning.

The structure of ‘Blackberry-Picking’ is essentially that of two, not-quite-equal halves. The first 16 ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005). However, it does not mean that international context will be ignored in the analysis process because international factors might have impacts on the transition process through their connections with domestic actors particularly in terms of distribution of power and resources, which in turn have effect on how they will act (Cavatorta 2005). One thing to remember is a ...

Write one to two paragraphs

(a) summarizing the problem area (be specific in defining the problem)
The problem that has been chosen is the gender equality gap that is evident in corporate America. This problem is important due to the implications that this has on equality and social progress. The regard that is given to equality within the corporate and business realm has direct implications on the view that society as a whole has regarding the issue. Further problems can be seen in the lack of diversity that results from these hiring practices. This can lead to an inherent lack of critical thinking due ...

The tale of America’s tumultuous racial history is fraught with conflict, fear and violence, as people of color throughout America’s history have had to fight tooth and nail for what freedoms and rights they currently enjoy. To that end, the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s were some of the bravest, most courageous activists within this movement, riding interstate buses to challenge the strict segregation laws that had been put in place throughout the Southern United States. In 2011, a group of brave Americans sought to recapture that activist spirit by reenacting their ...

Introduction

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...

Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is an insightful work of art that possesses a great literary significance. The short story depicts one hour from the life of Louise Mallard, but touches upon several serious themes that are still important in modern society. Louise Mallard is a young married woman, who gets informed that her husband has tragically died. In one hour she evolves from the grief and sorrow to realization of her joy of finally becoming free to be in charge of her own life. However, her happiness does not last long, as her husband appears ...

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Ken Kesey was a stalwart American author whose novel, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, remains as one of the most noted literary works of the past century. The author was deeply influenced by the time he spent with the patients at the Menlo Park Veteran’s Hospital. The author strongly believed that the patients were not insane. They were actually misfits into the conventional structure of the society. These individuals were hence ostracized and left in the dungeon of the asylum from where they could pose no hindrance to the normative functions of the society. The author uses ...

The study of Marjan Ajevski “Serious Breaches, The Draft Articles on State Responsibility And Universal Jurisdiction” contemplates the issue of the responsibility of the states over the violation of the international norms. According to the author, the first attempts to define the framework of the state responsibility were made in 1976, when the distinction between the crimes and delicts was provided. Moreover, the ...

The American female poetry of the 18th century was absorbed with the spirit of feminism, equality and struggle for the rights. It was the time when politicians desired independence from the British Empire. Besides, it was the epoch when women gained a strong voice and raised the issue of equality. The poetry of Judith Sargent Murray and Jane Colman Turell highlight the limitations the women faced and their desire to overcome them. Murray wanted to change the social status of women who were deprived from such basic concept as education and science, whereas Turell desired to change the religious ...

Labor Market

Labor market is a form of the economy that functions through demand and the supply of labor. Labor demand is the companies demand; labor and supply focus on the supply of the labor workers. The bargaining power is likely to have high influence on both supply and demand. Majority of the nation is aware that the labor market institutions that have equalizing effects tend to encounter challenges (Peitchinis, 2005). Policy change is required in relation to equality since it ensures that the status quo focuses on both national and international change. Labor market comprises of employees searching for work, employers ...

Types of Social Challenges Faced By Indian Students in Melbourne Tertiary Universities

Overview of existing research
Whereas there have been worrying acts of hostility, Australia is commonly considered an excellent practice country in its international student experiences, migration policies, and assimilation of people from diverse backgrounds. Despite a normally upbeat track record, room and chance for improvement are always there, as recent shortcomings in the experiences of international students in Australia indicate.
Recently, foreign students living in Australia have been physically attacked and in fact murdered. Victimization is a shameful and painful experience and must not be condoned in any institutional arrangement or public policy, yet, it still happens even in ...

Several myths have been discussed with regards to the founding father’s perspective to the United States of America as a nation. Some of the common myths known are: the founding fathers wanted a secular nation thus, in order to achieve this, the state had to separate itself from religion. They solidly supported the radical combat, which was between the British soldiers and the American patriots. They were isolationists whereby they ensured the nation does not sign any treaties that will either compromise their freedom or bind them forever as a country. The founding fathers were above the political ...

Literature Review

This section review literature on the responsibility of Western Powers on Civil Wars as well as Rebellion within Eastern and Central Africa. From the reviewed materials, it is evident that the style of Western administration on the African continent left African countries unprepared economically as well as politically for independence. For that reason, it undermined the state of security within most countries from their start of self-governance.
The influence of Europe within Africa has contributed significantly in establishing conditions within many countries for rebellion and civil conflict to take place. The Western powers treat African states as strategic economic ...

The concept of the overall purpose and philosophy of man has been addressed and considered by many philosophers over the course of time; do we act merely for the pursuit of our own happiness, or do we focus on an essential concept of justice and reciprocity? In "Two Concepts of Rules," John Rawls demonstrates his desire to "show the importance of the distinction between justifying a practice and justifying a particular action falling under it," as well as the ease by which the significance of this distinction can be made (Rawls, p. 3). He does this through ...

Cross cultural communication barriers in provision of health care are global problems have been reported in various parts of the world. In provision of personalized care, it is necessary for nurses to consider the cultural identity and needs of patients in their care. It is therefore imperative for the nurse to play an ethical role in providing culturally acceptable care to the patients. The establishment of nurse patient therapeutic connection is dependent on the ability to communicate and share a common interpretation (McCarthy, Cassidy, Graham & Tuohy, 2013). Consequently, the therapeutic communication ought to be a focused and objective association that takes ...

A comparison between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Human rights form the foundation of a harmonious and progressive society. No wonder the United Nations has come up with express conventions, treaties and laws designed to protect human rights. However, the degree of human rights from continent to continent and country to country is not the same. A review of the existing literature reveals that while some countries have progressive human right regimes, others still have their fists clenched against granting basic human rights to the people. A comparison of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reveals such disparities. This paper is premised on the fact ...

Soy beans and their derivative products contain naturally occurring compounds called isoflavones. The isoflavones, occurring predominantly as daidzein and genistein, are not in actual sense estrogens, and, thus, they do not increase estrogen levels in blood when diets rich in them are taken. However, they have been noted to affect estrogen metabolism. Also known sometimes as phytoestrogens, because of producing weak-estrogen like effects in the body, isoflavones usually bind to estrogen receptor proteins, which in turn interact with one’s genetic materials in the cell. In this way, isflavones would be mimicking some of the physiological effects of the ...
