Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment.

Introduction

In The Anxious World of the Slaveowning Patriarch and The Effects of Paternalism Among Whites and Blacks, written by Kathleen Brown and Philip Morgan respectively, it was put forward that the patriarchal authority was as a necessary element in maintaining the slavery institution. The patriarchal society was a tradition that was brought forth by the European colonizers, and this system has been the basis by which to impose the code of practice, not only in the family, but also in the societal, political and legal institutions in Virginia during that time. In her essay, Brown denotes that the master’ ...

In the United States there were no federal laws banning any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation until recently when President Obama signed an order which forbids organizations who work in partnership with the federal government to partake in any form of discrimination against people on either the basis of their gender identity of their sexual orientation (Obama to sign Executive Order). This topic has been of concern for decades and will now fill a gap which gay rights activists have been attempting to fill for years. This matter is of concern because until the executive order was ...

Linguistic Clash

Despite the ongoing process of globalization, there has been definitely set an expressed tendency of so-called ‘international and regional integration’. This tendency is obvious to have become so strong nowadays that almost every field of the international community’s life and activity is subject to integration, which implies regional unification on the basis of similar historic background, geographic location or cultural identity. Therefore, we may safely presume that the all-encompassing process of globalization induces an imminent phenomenon of identification. There are various kinds of such identification: economic, historic, national, etc. Within the framework of our topic, dealing with the ...

Max Weber sees present days and the future ones greatly influenced by pessimistic diagnosis.

Introduction and Situation Description

Organizations, by nature, go through constant change. As we evolve, new information becomes available that, if implemented, can allow us to operate more efficiently and productively. Educational institutions are no exception to this general statement. Schools develop over time to take into account new ideas and theories that hopefully benefit all stakeholders involved. Not all change, of course, is good. The danger of refusing to change, however, far outweighs the consequences of remaining in mediocrity simply because of a fear of failure or a general unwillingness to accept an opposing point of view.

The Lack of a Budgetary Theory There is significant aridness in the American budgetary literature regarding one of the most important issues of public budgeting, which is the distribution of public budget for varied purposes so that highest return can be achieved (Fao.org, 2016).

Introduction

Society has been distinguishing the concepts of good and evil since the ancient times. So, we can say that it had a specific morality - the system of moral relations, feelings, and consciousness. The morality is the central question of ethics, and still relevant to our society. Among the ethical systems I have learned, there are virtue ethics, utilitarianism, social contract, deontology with goals (Hinduism and Buddhism), deontology with divine authority (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), relativism (individual and cultural), and deontology with a categorical imperative (Kant). So, I would like to say a few words about each of them.

Differences between Quantitative and Qualitative Research Quantitative and qualitative researches differ in their approach to the nature of phenomenon they study. Quantitative research is based on the measurement of quantity or amount and is applicable to phenomena that can be expressed in terms of quantity. On the other hand, qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomena, and is concerned about discovering the underlying motives and desires of the subjects (Kothari, 2004, p.3). Qualitative research studies smaller groups that are not randomly selected, while quantitative research studies larger and randomly selected groups. Qualitative research is holistic, looking at the big ...

Explicitly we can come to the conclusion that such phenomena as political religion and religious politics, being based on the social religion, which creates common values for their supporters, affected the development of the American consciousness greatly as well as nowadays it does the same.

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

There are multiple theories regarding rationality.

All of these theories allow companies and individuals in managerial positions to perceive the individuals and tasks around them from a ...

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553. The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

However, close observation on the natural behaviors of children will inspire questions on the validity of the claim that leaders are made, not born. A child in the play, for instance, who takes initiative in organizing ...

The argument for subjecting students to virginity tests is based on the desire to maintain a particular normative behavior.
