Essays on Barbara.

You’re committed to finding your ideal life partner, so now you have to do more than talk about it. The time has come for action if it is ever to be more than an idea, a plan, an ambition, an objective. As Flannery put it, finding out how to choose someone you intend to spend your life with “can be scary to say the least, that is if you take commitment seriously.”

The conventional wisdom says that you should date as many prospective candidates as you can in the hope that at some stage you will recognize that ...

The married couples ensure children benefit from a higher standard of living (Risman 23). This plan to reform the marriage fails to ...

1. How can average nurses be involved in the political process?

History of Children’s Literature

In the time when there were no books and not everyone could write and read, mothers and grandmothers were able only to tell their children or grandchildren stories and fairy tales. Even when people became more literate, they did not begin to write down folklore for youngsters. It was Charles Perrault, who collected and published folk tales for children in 1697. However, speaking about folklore, people imagine more often not Charles Perrault, but the Brothers Grimm (Zipers, 2002). They are considered to be the first collectors of both folk and fairy tales. The reason for this is their ...

Abstract

The onset of immigration had long been a part of American history since its discovery in the 1600s and had shaped the country’s society and government throughout the years. In the early years, America had gladly opened its doors to the world without restrictions and some aided in the liberation of the country from English rule and into independence. However, as the years progressed, restrictions were imposed by the government due to the fear of these immigrants and eventually, due to the onset of illegal immigration. Reforms left and right were implemented to sustain America’s security, economy and ...

THE SECRET OR HIDDEN STORY WITHIN KATHERINE ANNE PORTER’S “THE JILTING OF GRANNY WEATHERALL”

According to Dictionary.com’s definition of the word ‘jilt’, it means “to reject or cast aside (a lover or sweetheart), especially abruptly or unfeelingly.” The website explained that the word ‘jilt’ originated from a word used in during the period of 1650-1660, which was another word for harlot. It adds that it is a “syncopated variant of jillet.” The Online Merriam-Webster Dictionary notes that the Scottish word ‘jillet’ means a “vexatiously flirtatious girl” or a wench. It is inferred from the meanings of the words ‘jillet’ and ‘jilt’ and the hidden narrative present within Porter’s ...

I think Amanda makes many good points. However, I think the reasons she states for the privilege objection being the most common objection is a little convoluted. I think the most common privilege asserted is the attorney client privilege if only strictly because the value of evidence the attorney has is very high. Essentially, the attorney has the keys to the case, and inadvertent releases of attorney communicates can have extremely damaging effects to a lawsuit. I think the medical privilege, or the confessor privilege is less because not every case will use those types of witnesses – however, nearly all ...

The book “Everything’s an argument with Readings” gives a reflection on almost all matters. The many ways of arranging arguments are presented fairly. Arguably there are arguments from almost all weighty topics; from culture, to advertisements to matters of friendship, food, religion, diversity and work. From the various arguments, I have chosen to consider just two chapters, and from these I have chosen to discuss just four items. The four items come from the first two chapters.

The US PATRIOT Act

The September 11 bombings in 2001 had created a massive influx of political and domestic ruling within the United States as terrorism had caught the most powerful nation off-guard. The Bush Administration had immediately mobilized the Congress and the Senate to redraft the entire US national security framework and enhance the country’s law enforcement agencies to prevent further attacks in the nation. One of the most notable policies set after the September 11 bombings is the US PATRIOT Act, proposed to support law enforcement agencies by enabling them to check records and devices of citizens and “suspected” terrorists ...

1. How are the demographics of the United States changing at present? How might these changes effect inter-ethnic relations in the US?

Make sure you draw on information and arguments from both the Eitzen text and the article by Anderson titled “Cosmopolitan Canopy.” 

Assimilation has been such a powerful theme in U.S. history that in the decades following the rapid industrialization, ...

We live in an age of medicine filled with technological wonders – and difficulties. Andre and Velasquez (2010) state that “medical technology has given us the power to sustain the lives (or, some would say, prolong the deaths) of patients whose physical and mental capabilities cannot be restored, whose degenerating conditions cannot be reversed, and whose pain cannot be eliminated.” This poses a medical and ethical dilemma that has pitted us one against the other – should we allow the people in these positions to choose to die, or do we have a moral obligation to preserve life at all ...

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections. This therefore implies that corporations also enjoy the protection of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights (Freedom of Speech). The court case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Levin-Waldman, 2011, 178). The above reaction to the court decision is from the liberal side and I agree. I think that the decision was not good and not respectful of the rights of citizens. Democracy is no longer powerful when campaign elections can ...

1. Market Segmentation in Marketing

Lately, market segmentation has become one of the essential tools in marketing. Market segmentation has been found to be vital in separating markets in a manner that enhances profitability without necessarily spending on sales resource as well as systems that are required for one-to-one marketing, (Tapp, 2009). According to the market segmentation theory, it could be beneficial to market a product to potential customers only. Moreover, a target market to which the product will be marketed should be identified. Consequently, this context, the term “market segmentation” is used to refer to grouping of markets or rather, consumers having common characteristics which ...

“Don Quixote,” is a popular dance that excites people and brings happiness to sad souls. I find it quite interesting because it coordinates dances from a diversity of places and backgrounds. The dance takes place in a series of days and most of the time the audience comes out of the auditorium with jubilation and excitement. The dance is always successful because of the intense preparations by the gifted and well-experienced managers, choreographers, artistic directors, and artists. When all these people work in harmony, the audience feels the magnitude and the quality of the work produced. Looking at the choreography of ...

THE BULLY, THE BULLIED, AND THE BYSTANDER

Barbara Coloroso’s “The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander” revolves around her view of bullying as a drama. In said drama, each character usurps the given role and adopts behavioral changes while adapting to the ensuing performance. Coloroso centers her writing at possible ways of rewriting the lines given to each character to break the recurring violence. In her views, bullying entails different forms of imposing terror, intimidation, and torment while ensuring that others avoid the bullied person (Coloroso, 2010, p.102). Therefore, Coloroso (2010) believes that because children can learn how to intimidate (p.67), said behavior is ...

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children and other international organizations are keen in guiding countries on how parents should be guided in the upbringing of their children. The education curriculum is, however also a major influence on the way children are developed until they become adults. But, the major responsibility lies with the parents who due to their ...

Hate crimes may be influenced by economic competition and even resentment towards a particular group rather than a generalization about a particular group of people. It is the case that hate crimes are a result of prejudice on the part of the offender against the victim of hate crime. In this paper, we argue that the economic strain and the concomitant resentment that may be felt towards certain minority group as the African-Americans in our case here are mostly based on false generalizations (Stewart). This is to mean that most of the reasons that attend the commission of this crime are predicated on ...

C. Discuss Cherlin’s argument for why Americans have both high rates of marriage and high rates of divorce compared to other industrialized nations. Andrew Cherlin reviewed the historical changes while noting that marriage still remained the most common and effective living arrangement for bringing up of children.

Religion and spirituality continue to be unrecognized as effective strategies for coping against tragedies and life pressures and as essential factors in self-protection and psycho-emotional resiliency (Bryan-Davis, Austria, Kawahara & Willis, 2014).

A “hate crime” are “criminal actions intended to harm or intimidate people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or other minority group status,” as listed in the works of Herek (1989) and Levin and McDevitt (1993). In the 1990s, the issue of hate crimes, or “bias crimes,” has generated rising attention from activists, policy makers, and social analysts. Much of the amplified concern has displayed an inference in that all criminal activities have adverse impacts for the victim, bias crimes must be considered as a unique case owing to their heightened effects on the victim of the crime ...

‘Subject’ Should the US have stricter gun control laws? Guns have a special place in American history and Americans have always had a love for firearms.

The ‘Kentucky rifle’ of the 1700s, Samuel Colt of the nineteenth century and WWII veterans bringing home their enemy guns as trophies are all symbols of the proud American past. However, the spate of recent mass shootings has called for a stricter regulation of gun ownership and distribution. The ...

Scholars and acolytes of Gertrude Stein prefer to refer to her as "The Mother of Us All" as the attribution of her last dramaturgical opera inspired by the figure of the American feminist Susan B. Anthony. This definition would suggest a bond of deferential respect and intimate cultural affiliation by certain groups of writers and critics positioned on the edge of the traditional culture. All these scholars were gathered around Gertrude Stein as around a true pioneer of feminism and gender studies. The linguistic revolution that took place in hers works was astonishing and impressed all of them. She was a giant, a ...
