The hateful mid-afternoon sun beat down us as if in complete spite and outrage that we dared defy it. As I looked up into the crowd I was reminded of the words of Mohandas Gandhi that satisfaction lies in effort and not in attainment or success. Once, during the uncomfortably ho afternoon, even the little wind that had made the rest of the morning bearable had finally kept off, so much so that the air then felt like a thick and wet blanket. My skin felt equally dry and sticky with dry sweat and dust, but it did not ...

The incoherent changes in the society today are termed as the New Economy that has risen since the late 90s. The high employment, low inflation, and high growth introduced by the period have led to flawed business plans and excessively optimistic forecasts. This article structures an ...

Abstract Nowadays the concept of a hero is very misleading. When people talk about the heroic individuals, they often seem to refer to those characters shown in the movies, who can just two meter fences and fly over New York City. However, true heroes surround us every day – ranging from the doctor who just saved someone life, to a police officer, who just pulled over a guy going ninety five miles per hour down the highway. Legitimate heroes do not have to possess any unusual qualities, they just have to be different in a way of standing out of ...

- In Luke 1:43, the Holy Spirit first works in the form of Elizabeth (Oxford). In this moment, she proclaims the coming birth of the Lord through her sister and exalts Mary as blessed.

Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth would not have known these things. The Spirit then appears in Simeon to proclaim Jesus as Lord to both his parents. Unlike the first passage, this one further expounds on the baby’s purpose to be “a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel (Oxford Luke 2:32). He then further predicts the ...

Philosophy – it is an extremely generalized theoretical vision of the world that has been studying by great philosophers during a number of centuries. These philosophers have set different goals while they research the world and its public order, and while they try to establish their own philosophical worldviews and system of values. The way in which great philosophers understand reality differs from the religious and scientific way of accepting the world. In contrast to religion, philosophy differs due to its rationality, and presence of scientific ideas. At the same time, it also differs from the scientific way of understanding ...

Personality is a useful tool in every developing person. Personality helps individuals in the areas of self-development. I believe individuals learning and applying the theories that personality deal with personality type are acquitting the most useful tool in social life.

Personality includes responding fruitfully to what occurred and being able to take extra step in the communication process just as Stewart puts it. We have to acknowledge that communication process is convoluted, elaborate and pretty complex. However, despite the events ...

The overall purpose of the writer, about the piece they are writing, determines the techniques they adopt, as ...

Introduction

The term “ecological problems” is nowadays used to define a number of environmental problems. Given the modern environmental mess and the truth that the world has many environmental problems than before, it is no surprise that a lot of emphasis is actually put at this negative ecological context. This is the reason why no difference exists between ecological and environmental problems in everyday talk. Environmental problems are also ecological problems since environment is essentially a center of all the ecological research. All sorts of pollution, climate change, endangered animals, deforestation, are all problems of ecology since ecology uses the scientific approach ...

Traditionally, women's role in society has always been a silenced voice, which comes across through their depictions in paintings. The passive female image with the conventional Venus pose is ubiquitous with the classical representation of feminism.

Mary Cassatt's "Women in Black at the Opera" explores the emancipation of feminism, through her painting style and all aspects of female ...

Question 23

It is common for people to apply the meaning of the writer and the author interchangeably. However, these two words can be used to derive two different meanings. A writer is considered as a person who writes articles, books, or any other literary work. On the other hand, an author is a person who essentially comes up with the idea, content of the plot of a piece of work to be written. But indeed both words can be used to represent the same person. In other words, the author is a person who uses piece of literary work to express their own ideas ...

While sitting on the bench by the tree on a Tuesday afternoon, a sudden sound caught my attention. Looking up straight from the newspaper, I was unable to figure out as to what was going on. The hustle and the bustle of the crowd veiled the actual scene. To join them, I directed to the place of commotion. Alas, a girl between 10 to 12 years of age was sitting on the middle of the road, adamant not to move. Upon taking a closer look, I noticed something peculiar about her; with a slightly deformed body, she was certainly a special child. I went near ...

Question 1

There are many ways in which technology has influenced the way we communicate as individuals. As stated in the readings, there is a unique way in which people behave when in a crowd and when they are individuals. The three poles of sociability have been affected with the use of technology. The poles of communication include crowds and people we influence or who influence us(Walsh and Gentile 34). Another pole of sociability is the non-verbal communication aspect that has been introduced into the web. The last pole is that of the way technology has played the mediation medium in the ...

She found the dead child in the gutter, covered in the black, sludgy runoff of the hundreds of grimy food stalls in the market. When the woman pushing the cart of rags picked up the baby her head lolled over, her neck broken; the rag woman didn’t seem surprised or alarmed. She tucked the baby into the cart and pushed it calmly down the aisle towards the main street. The baby’s name was Mei, or at least, it had been; her mother had named her after the plum blossoms of lore, the blossoms that the ancient ...

A particular feature of the literature is that it can send the author’s message in various ways and reach a target reader out of the crowd of ignorant ones.

In this context, the comparison will be conducted in the framework of the depicting of the same theme of gender ...

For this analysis paper, I attended the Utah Art Festival on June 26 of 2015. I have attended several dance performances prior attending the Utah art festival where I attended the outstanding “B-Boy” dance. The current B-Boy dance sequences are not too much different from that of the “street” dances of late 20th century in its structure of the performance, use of body parts, especially feet, and hands. The B-Boy dance sequences have stemmed from the street dances of 1970. This dance was particularly associated with African-Americans and was not considered a respectable genre of dance.

Critical Thinking –Argument Support Mechanics

When a certain argument is false, an individual is supposed to be cautious in his opinions. However, the logical validity of an argument is its internal consistency and not the truth value. For instance, when an individual argues that there is a wet wall in the street, but nobody has seen the rain. The argument of this statement is correct since the opinion must accept the argument’s premises truth. Thus, it is extremely hard to refute an argument based on false premise since its truth cannot satisfy all the involved parties. The conclusion of an invalid argument should be firm ...

Body language is an essential part of communication. Human beings pass most of their communication through body language.

The three non- verbal cues make an integral part of the body language. Body language is the most common means of communication; however, body language is understood by few people in the society.

This particular genre of film follows a narrative tendency towards literalism and dramatic formula over nuance and complexity: “The narrative of [classical Hollywood cinema] reposes upon the triad ‘order/disorder/order-restored,’ also known as disruption/resolution” (Hayward 82). Through these styles of filmmaking, a consistent, accessible reality is created in which to impart the dominant ideology of the time. In the case of The Best Years of Our ...

The poem “The Martyr” by Herman Melville has left a deep impression on me. It influences the reader from the very first line creating the morose setting and gloomy atmosphere. Furthermore, the author is trying to dip the reader in the times of Jesus Christ taking us back to that dreadful day, when He was crucified. From the very first look in is clear, that the martyr is a simple embodiment of the God’s son because the action of the poem takes place on the Good Friday, the most horrible day in the Bible. Among the literary devices used ...
