In his essay entitled “The Decay of Laying”, author Oscar Wilde wrote that “life imitates art far more than art imitates life” (Wilde, 1891). One of the biggest questions that Wilde’s quote created was whether he was right, and life truly does imitate art. Regardless of whether he is accurate or not, art, including television, is often studied to provide understanding of how life was perceived at the point in time when the art was produced. This essay will analyze five episodes of a family situational comedy (sitcom) from the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to provide ...

Multiple intelligence theory suggests that IQ testing is quite limited in order to evaluate the level of students’ intelligence with the help of it. Single ability of intelligence is not a primary focus of the theory. Howard Gardner is a person who came up with this idea. Eight criteria for the intelligence have been considered. They are “potential for brain isolation by brain damage, place in evolutionary history, presence of core operations, susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression), a distinct developmental progression, the existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people, and support from experimental psychology and psychometric findings” (Thirteen.org, ...

Most writers ensure that they convince their target audience to agree with their ideas as the right conceptions. They use different appeals such as logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to drive their point home. Through such appeals, the target audience better understands the intentions of the authors and assumes the latter’s position, thereby agreeing or conflicting the given information. An appeal to logos (logical) uses reasoning to convince the target audience. On the other hand, pathos (emotional) persuades the readers through appealing to their emotions. An appeal to ethos however convinces these audiences through the author’s character ...

- Self Analysis It is difficult to talk about oneself without appearing either too judgmental or too self-serving, but it is important to find a balance for the purpose of the discussion of self-analysis. I consider myself a conceptual person. I have always enjoyed working with ideas to achieve more efficient productivity, to work smarter not harder, and to see problems as they fit into the larger context of projects or ideal states. The corresponding roles to someone like me include creator and linker. Realizing that this observation is self-perception, which is prone to number biases or blinders, I ...

The decrease in world’s petroleum and oil supply has led the nations to look for alternate sources of energy. As a result of this short-supply, unconventional gas reserves are gaining importance as alternative source of crude oil, where the unconventional gas reserves are estimated to contribute to 45% of the US gas production by the year 2035. Large-scale extraction of unconventional natural gas has resulted in the development of new and untested extraction technology such as hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking, which is expected to develop rapidly in the next few decades near human settlements and pose a health hazard (Adgate, ...

Why is the H1 bus speed 31.25kbps, not something different, suitable for closed loop digital

control? The H1 bus speed is not suitable for automated machinery control and is good for closed loop control within the automation process.

Some people in this world believe that men are treated “un-rightly” hence they formed loosely centralized organizations that aim to correct these injustices against men. The firsts of these organizations were formed in Austria during the 1850s. From a loosely connected organization started the centralization, and in 1926 League for Men's Rights came into existence, which main advocacy is to combat “all excesses of women’s emancipation” (Malleier 58). One year later, the said organization produced another two groups called the Aequitas World's League for the Rights of Men and Justitia League for Family Law Reform.

According to Yuichi Shoda and Walter Mischel’s study, they identified that to be able to delay immediate satisfaction for the sake of future consequences has been considered a crucial achievement of human development (1990).

Considering human rights as an issue without culture, diversity, and without complicated frameworks means it is about what it implies – "human" rights. In reality, the question arises why Western ideology of feminism exhibit so many gaps when it comes to the female of the human species. The Western feminist belief about human rights as a means for establishing a commonality among global women empowerment causes limitations in bridging gaps from a global perspective and consequently demands a new way of thinking. Theorists on universalism and women's human rights including Grewal, Bunch, and Hua provide the textual dialogue for examining this predicament. Globally, ...

Since the invention of television, scholars and policymakers have debate the need to regulate certain kinds of content on television. Many worried that depictions of violence and sexuality on television might influence the attitudes and behavior of individuals, especially children, who watched the programs. Others argued that the fundamental right of freedom of speech required the government to stay out of the business of regulating television. Today, the majority of evidence suggests that violent media content does, in fact, contribute to violent behavior. The effects are small and difficult to detect, but many studies have provided evidence to support ...

In spite of the relative youth of CNN (it was founded in 1980 as a US cable news channel) the company managed to get into international gear relatively quickly. On the other hand, the international arm of the British Broadcasting Company flicked the switch to power up sometime in 1991. Back then, it was the BBC World Service Television (it turned into the BBC World in 1995, and then into BBC World News in 2008). For CNN, the massive bulk of content was formerly from the United States channels, and it was not until the year of 1992 that productions ...

America is a diverse country with different colored people scatter all over different states. It has a long history of colonialism and cultural evolution. When thinking of terms like “colored” or “race”, our first mind may often come with African Americans. Perhaps the civil war or the civil right movement has marked a huge monument in the American history, it has ended the injustice and cruel treatment of people living in the same country who supposed to be united. The slavery and the segregation were abolished; the hanging trees and violence were all over. However, racism still exists through stereotype causing by ...

Looking at old photographs relit the flame of memories, be it good or bad.

Literature Review

Part 1

The artist character in David Bunch's short story "2064, or Thereabouts" is a part-machine, part-human compilation who has reached his older years. This is suggested in the wiry white beard he has and in the rusted out, worn out, torn down appearance of his figure. He arrives at an enclosed structure in search of a peaceful watcher. He is representative of every person who has ever gone against the prescribed path to life to try to find their own way. This is suggested when he tells the narrator, "I was never content to go behind some weapons, and a Wall ...

One-Way Ticket

I was tossing and turning the night before my planned flight back to Kazakhstan from America. My mind was busy, just like when you have a million windows open on your computer screen, the whole system freezes, and you have to restart it. The idea of returning home to my regular routine was giving me the goose bumps. I could not stay in bed anymore. I glanced at my suitcases packed with clothes, three new swimsuits which I probably would not be able to use back home, and a bunch of souvenirs. A bright pink Flamingo, a stuffed toy with an unreal, ...

There will always be a difference of opinion when it comes to many issues. It is more than how someone personally feels, its politics, and the religious views of groups and the way a person wishes to be viewed by his peers is usually more important. It is hard for someone to stand up for something they believe in when they know that controversy and negativity are sure to follow. The way someone feels about abortion or racism are huge topics of discussion but there is also the other big one which is the death penalty. Should the death penalty be ...
