“He [that is, Antonio] hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million—laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies—what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?” (Merchant of Venice, 3.1.42-46)
The above lines were borrowed from the famous speech made by Shylock in William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. This speech by Shylock was his attempt at demonstrating his humanity and to encourage the audience to sympathize with his condition as a person ...

Shortly after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. As a result of real concerns over the security of the nation as well as more than a little mass hysteria over America’s vulnerability in the new age of global terror, the 342-page long USA PATRIOT Act, as it is popularly known, sailed through Congress a mere 45 days after the attacks with little debate or analysis but with broad bipartisan support. Indeed, in the Senate, the ...

Discussing the Causes, Symptoms, Treatments, and Prognosis through Modern Medicine

INTRODUCTION
In the modern world we have clear knowledge of so many of the diseases, disorders, conditions that can negatively affect our lives at the day-to-day and long-term levels. When it comes to the brain, the center of our mind and control center of the entire body, it becomes all the more serious. Some of these conditions and disorders have serious neurological effects like Alzheimer’s in the aging and elderly. While many neurological disorders are easily diagnosed or have a slow progression allowing the patient to prepare for future problems, some can appear almost instantaneously (Indiana University of ...

The United States campaign funding is depicted by various instances of unfair practices because the rich get leverage since they can convince the mass in their campaigns. It is essential to note that political campaigns always involve the use of significant resources. Some of the expenditures incurred in a political campaign include the renting of conference halls, transportation, paying the campaigners, printing, appearances, and even soft finances. It would rather seem impractical to expect that funding offered by the federal government would meet up all those costs (Hames, & Ekern, 297). State funding would also seem to favor a particular ...

Using the five concepts of representation, sexual, content, media and free speech, my definition of pornography is that is a representation of free speech using sexual content through different media.

Representation is the basic concept of displaying and conveying the information from the point of enactment to the point of viewing. In context of pornography, this representation can be in different forms and styles. Also, I think that pornography as a ...

The rhetoric religion involves studying linguistic and symbolic techniques involved in the dissemination, supporting, teaching, or establishing of theological beliefs or structures. A large number of present-day scholars have identified the link between rhetoric and religion as ancient, and that it is impossible to separate the two. Religion is greatly obligated to rhetoric because religion would be difficult to comprehend, progress, support, or spread without the adoption of rhetorical complexity. In fact, many institutions teaching religion today require units that develop rhetorical abilities among students as a part of all-round religious education. However, religious rhetoric is more than the ...

Numerous authors have instigated ideas related to freedom; however, nobody has done it better than Eric Foner.

Foner agrees that the freedom in America has a different definition from the world’s views. The use of freedom by the American community has always changed, and it has the best tool in the definition of their identity and history. There are authors claiming that the freedom is a tool used to discover oneself. However, Foner believes that the freedom can be used ...

MOTIVATIONS OF CODE-SWITCHING

Code switching is currently considered one of the main subjects of study in linguistics. This can be shown by the fact that within the last decade most of the major conferences on linguistics had at least one paper on the subject. One of the topics within the subject that has been of interest to sociolinguists is on the communicative intention of this phenomenon. The researches in this particular topic make a scientific attempt to understand and clarify why people engage in code switching (Wardhaugh, 2009, p. 85). Why two or more people that understand two or more languages would choose ...

Educational Affiliation

Reading is essential in the acquisition of knowledge. Books are the source of power and many great leaders including Alexander the Great had been fond of reading during his lifetime.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you will go” (as cited from Dickinson et al. 2012).
Going back to its neurological background, Love and Webb (1986) claimed ...

Introduction

For quite some time, the Western world had treated China as a minion. The relations between the West and China were frosty and that was attributable to the fact that western nations imposed reforms that they thought would work in China. However, the situation changed when Mr. Anson Burlingame was appointed head of Chinese delegation to the West. He made a passionate speech to the president, and his efforts were rewarded when he signed the first equal treaty between the West and China. In Mr. Burlingame’s speech, he said that no Empire had developed than that of China. ...

Introduction

Handedness can be considered as the use of the hand for better, faster and more precise performance or control in certain tasks. In the concept of handedness, right and left hands are considered, and generally the use of one hand more than the other is considered. However, there are four kinds of people in terms of handedness: right-handed people, left-handed people, mixed-handed people, and ambidextrous. Left-handedness is less frequently found than right-handedness. Researchers have found that left-handedness is fairly more common in men as compared to women (Papadatou-Pastou, Martin, Munafo, & Jones, 2008).

Theories of left-handedness

Several theories have been presented in order ...

At both the beginning and end of his Funeral Oration, Pericles states very clearly that the heroic and valiant deeds of the soldiers being buried at public expense are far more important than any words of praise from orators and politicians or any physical monuments and inscriptions. His purpose in this speech is not to glorify the dead any further since their deaths in battle have already accomplished this and no further commentary from him would be able to add or detract from them. Rather he is attempting to explain to the widows, children and parents of the dead ...

Frederick Douglass

For Douglass, the declaration of independence on the fourth of July was only meant for the whites (Foner, 1950). He expressed his resent on this celebration because even after the said independence, discrimination still lurks within the society of America. In his work, one can feel the feeling of anger and disapproval of the author against the proclaimed independence. However, his feeling is not purely based on emotions, rants, and personal resentment (Foner, 1950). The author has supporting statements and a logical flow of the arguments.
In his speech, it can be implied that he wanted to talk to ...

There are many similarities from chapter 5 to 12 that deal with a variety of learning difficulties. For the teacher in a practical setting, these similarities have implications for assisting students with difficulties outside of the norm.

Syntax is the study of principles and rules for sentences’ construction in natural languages. Syntax also studies the patterns of sentences and phrases’ forming. It exists in human communication only. Many scientists study this phenomenon and are trying to understand why it is not a characteristic feature of other living beings.
Researches worked out several theories to explain the evolution of humans’ syntactic language. Regarding the human’s anatomy that contributed to syntactic language development, Joshua B. Plotkin and Martin A. Nowak state in their article that “everyone knows around 50,000 words in his primary language. The words ...

Chapter Four: Why does there need to be a strong balance between logic and emotion?

The purpose of a good argument is to persuade the targeted audience. In order to achieve this goal, the orator needs to bring solid claims, which to reach people, appealing both to their logical reasoning senses, but also to their emotional side. “Good argumentation involves a balance between sound logic and critical emotions” (Makau & Marty, 2001, p. 113). Makau and Marty (2001) argue this claim by explaining that emotion is a human feeling connected to morality, influencing people to stand up for what they consider morally right, such as protecting the forests and wildlife or enforcing the persons with disabilities. The authors ...

Lev Vygotsky believed that the way of life as a child is raised by influences in the operations of the child development. Every child learns actively and through hands – on experiences. A child development is a social constructivism and the development is determined by culture. Children are active learners and their knowledge is constructed socially. Its cultural values and customs dictate the importance of learning; children learn from expert members of the society who are responsible of higher order functions such as parents, peers, caregivers, and the culture at large and the zone of proximal development in learning occurs.

The long-term care system in the United States is becoming an increasingly importunate policy issue. With the increasing number of the elderly people in the U.S., there is need for policy makers to incorporate policies to take care of their needs. Despite the fact that long-term care receives little attention than health care, long-term is also of equal importance in the U.S. There are challenges in implementing the long-term care system in the U.S. because of many unmet demands and the chronic illnesses of the elderly. The state and the federal government differ on who should finance the long-term ...

1. 8th-grade student is suspended for sharing with friends via instant message, a small drawing, crude but clear suggesting a particular teacher should be shot and killed. This was done from his home computer outside of school hours.
This is a clear indication of lack of proper communication between the administration, teachers and the students. It is appropriate for the student to be suspended because this is an instance of inciting other people using social media. In essence, it is cyber bullying and everyone, both teachers and students, is protected against cyberbullying. The suspension should serve as an example ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

In 1872, the 22-year-old George Huntington presented a paper describing an elaborately outlined inheritance pattern of a disease, which during the time was referred to as "chorea." In his paper, which was presented at the Meigs and Mason Academy of Medicine at Ohio, George described all the features of the adult-onset form of the disorder and outlined the disease’s autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. Although the mechanism underlying the inheritance pattern of the disease was not understood until the rediscovery of Mendel’s works, his paper was so comprehensive that George Huntington quickly became widely acclaimed. In fact, he ...

How was Jerry instrumental in motivating fundamental to re-engage with mainstream culture?

America is known to have over fifty million Christians who claim to be born again, yet their culture is secular. Occasionally some editors and journalist have portrayed the Christians as outside people who are a threat to the public life. However, the question of modernity whether America is pre-modern or modern is based on the Christians religious beliefs. Susan Harding’s book focuses on the intense language use among born again Christians that caused changes in American politics in the 1980s (Kenneth, 179). Farwell’s words as employed in the book comprises of scriptural narratives that have an influence ...

Final Summary Paper

Communication is a complex process that involves words, voice volume, and a tone, body language, the topic of discussion and the communication history between interlocutors. Communication can be called effective, when the recipient understands the message and expresses its meaning back to the sender. Interpersonal communication takes place when two, or more people, exchange their messages and have the roles of a speaker and a listener. Nevertheless, a lecture cannot be called interpersonal because only the lecturer speaks, while the audience listens. One-way communication is also a communication, which is called broadcasting. Interpersonal skills show, how effectively people get ...

Introduction

The term "Cold War" was introduced by Winston Churchill during his speech at Fulton (USA) on March 5, 1946. In his speech, he mentioned that Europe was divided with the "Iron Curtain" and called the Western civilization to declare war against communism. In fact, the war between the two political and economic systems, two ideologies had been in a latent stage since 1917, however, it transformed into a confrontation though not open, just after the World War II.

Section 1: US Government

When the US constitution was set up, the founders divided the new government into three co-equal branches of government: The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Each was given separate areas of responsibilities, that were designed to make the branches work together to govern the county. The idea was that no one branch would grow to dominate the other two. To make sure that didn’t happen, the founders built a system of checks and balances into the constitution. This system consists of a series of powers that each branch has over the other two, to prevent any one branch from ...

Defending the Guilty
In 1840, Lord William Russell, an English nobleman was murdered. There was strong evidence that his butler, Courvoisier may have perpetrated the crime. Despite the strong circumstantial evidence, the butler maintained his innocence and was duly represented by his lawyer, Charles Phillips. During the court proceedings, Phillips vigorously defended his client as expected. At this point, Phillips would have already known the guilt of his client. In fact, it would be reasonable to believe that Courvoisier might have already admitted his guilt to his lawyer before the later accepted the case. During the course of ...

Verbal images related to the themes of love and jealousy in the later tragedies, "Othello" and "Antony and Cleopatra" help to understand the psychology of the characters, to penetrate into the patterns of these powerful passions. These images are very different from the metaphorical style in the early tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" – where they transmit power to suddenly erupted spontaneous feeling, which seems something sacred to the heroes. Romeo’s first words addressed to Juliet, express awe in this metaphor:

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

One is likely to encounter cases of death in a society comprised of different groups of people who are not willing to understand each others’ cultural practices and customs. Such is the case in Wole Soyinka’s Death and a King’s Horseman. Soyinka does a brilliant job using different layers of conflict as he tells the story of Elesin, who is prevented from fulfilling his duty of his ritual suicide by the British, who view the custom as illegal and barbaric while the colonized Yoruba view his suicide as not only a tribal obligation, but a world’s obligation to maintain peace between ...

Television’s influence on children cannot be underestimated. Children between the ages of two and five spend about 32 hours a week in front of a television, nearing the number of hours considered full-time for a job (Boyse 2010). The American Academy of Pediatrics advises no television for children under the age of two, but parents and educators may seek programs that offer some educational value for the preschool children in their care (Boyse 2010). While some children’s shows are designed purely for entertainment, other shows are designed with the explicit idea that they are educational. These shows may have specific ...
