One of the main advantages of literature lies in its ability to communicate various cultural experiences and provide greater knowledge and deeper understanding of foreign traditions for the reader. In the Western civilization, Eastern religious traditions and cultures informed by them are perceived with interest, fascination and even fear; while lack of understanding can often impair successful interaction and communication. In addressing the issue of religious values, the authors of two books, Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us about Living in the West and Children of Dust: A Portrait of a Muslim as a ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Language Affects How People Think

Introduction Language is the way by which human beings use to communicate; it can either be written or spoken using words that are well structured. Different communities have different languages.

However, I have learned to embrace all these changes positively as they continue to shape me into a better person. For years, certain aspects of my personality such as my height and skin color have remained consistent for a long time. After undergoing all the adolescence changes, I ...

Introduction

Newton's Second Law of motion asserts that the acceleration of an object exhibits a direct proportional relationship with the subsequent force acting on it. It explores the relationship that exists between force, mass and acceleration as exhibited by an object. This experiment examines Newton's Second Law of motion by enabling a dwindling weight to speed up a glider of recognised quantity along a track. A thread that links the dwindling mass to the glider is passed above a smart pulley (Knight, 2004). It is imperative to note that the smart pulley exhibits insignificant inertia, low friction and its revolution ...

There has also been numerous works that have been published about these topics. One of those was Punished Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys. Punished was a book published by Victor Rios in 2011. What makes this book a ...

Art & Architecture

Introduction The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

A growing concern has been rising within public and policy domains as fundamental elements in providing safe and quality health care have been lacking. This has led to poor patient care, as well as pitiable clinical, emotional, and social outcomes.

Media Consumption and Materialism/Consumerism

Globally, consumption and materialism have become a fundamental component of the prevailing culture. Humans consume a myriad of products and resources that extend beyond their basic necessities to include technological innovations and luxuries aimed at improving efficiency and quality of life. Throughout history, consumption beyond basic needs has served as a method of boosting human happiness. Hence, excessive consumption does not necessarily pose harm to human life (Shah). Increasingly, however, important issues regarding media consumption and materialism have emerged in recent decades. As such, this study examines the neuroscience of human emotions, the use of recreational substances, and the ...

“Learning to Read” by Frederick Douglass

In “Learning to Read” Frederick Douglass wrote the story of his personal experience with one of the most prohibited and dangerous acts that a slave in the pre-Civil War South could do: learning to read. It is a narrative that is both shocking and revealing of insight into the times and place where it took place, the power of the institution and practice of slavery to dictate evil into the hearts of men and women, and of the dedication and strength of the personality of Frederick Douglass. A close reading demonstrates not only Douglass' narrative techniques, but his skills ...

The past few years the issue of police brutality and the relationship between the police and the communities they are meant to serve have become a major issue here in the United States. This issue has been raised by a series of escalating events in which many unarmed African American men and women have been killed by police with apparently very little cause. One of the most shocking cases and the one that has created the most conversation occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and it surrounded the death and subsequent protests of teenager Michael Brown. The events in Ferguson nearly ...

U.S. schools are known for low performance on international tests which measure 15-year-old students’ literacy in science, math, and reading. According to the 2007 report, the United States ranked 29th in science among 57 countries participating in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Gonzalez and Kuenzi, 2012, p. 9; McFarlane, 2013, p. 39). The problems with school attainment were linked with students’ reduced interest in science and instructional approaches to science teaching (McFarlane, 2013, p. 39).

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF ESSAY ON “Students and Money: In Their Own Words”

The first Rhetorical device I see in the Essay on "Students and Money: In Their Own Words." By Karpeck, Griffin is the device “PATHOS” which is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. I consider the author is very much successful in this regard. In the first few lines itself he appeals to the emotion by saying that his friends smirk at him by looking at his need to do that menial job and he too has taken up the job reluctantly (i.e. he is forced ...

Teenage boys may feel that girls are aliens, because they seem different, but in Neil Gaiman’s short Sci-Fi story, “How to talk to girls at parties”, the girls really are from another planet. The author humorously recounts the experience of two teenage boys, Vic and Enn, whose lack of experience around girls and nascent sexuality, cause them to ignore the visible signs that the girls they meet at a party are not from this world. Throughout the story, Enn, from whose perspective the story is told, is so focused on trying to talk to the girls he meets ...

A work like Pearl S Buck’s The Good Earth is by its very nature orientalist in the Saidian sense Because it was created within the structures of Orientalism as both a genre and as an epistemological category. Buck was born the child of an American missionary in China and spent much of her formative years there. Buck’s early life and experiences as an American and the child of a missionary informed her preconceptions of China, its people, society, and culture. Orientalism in this sense isn’t just a literary genre: an orientalist work is not just, a ...

In a similar manner that the comedic film termed as Dr. Strangelove includes convectional genres as per their time of publication, the Slaughter-House Five also incorporates fantasies, memoirs, autobiographies and science fiction. For instance, whereas the novel is based on the fantasy of time travel describing people being struck at it, the movie analysis the elements of cold war in a satirical manner by describing the doomsday device made by the Russians. Vonnegut perspective was against the warmongering apparent in the society like Kubrick movie. They were both based on an assumption that a superior power would create fear ...

The Shewhart cycle also known as Deming model and the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. It is a continuous quality improvement model that is comprised of a logical sequence of the four monotonous steps to make continuous improvement and for learning. The model is considered a continuous feedback loop because it helps to identify and change the components of the process in order to reduce variation. The main aim of the cycle is to plan to do something, checking to evaluate the meeting of all requirements, and rectification of process to get desired results (Ledlow & Coppola, 2013). The four ...

In describing art, comparing one art to the other has a significant role to the person reading it. This paper will discuss the role played by comparing one object to the other depending on the main theme of the objects. When we write a stand-alone description of a single object, it is important to bring out its relationship to other objects. This technique ensures that an observer relates one art to another so as to understand its meaning. In my perspective, making implicit comparisons of an object with other objects may sometimes play a major role on viewers since ...

Sexuality and gender have no place in the modern world, but while reading the work of Diane Seuss and Emily Dickinson, it is clear sexuality and gender are a part of every aspect of life, similar to a universal truth that has no chance of changing any time soon.

Identifying the requirements

For a logo to be effective it requires to be simple, easy to remember, it is not necessary that a logo be graphically related to the organization it is representing, it may not make sense at all visually as brand but if it is simple and people can easily remember it, then it becomes very useful and powerful tool for branding. As far as requirements for a brand go, it is self explanatory; a logo is a simple identification mark that people can use to identify a company that is its only function. In Logo design there are no ...

We all express ourselves with the help of the language. No matter what language we choose, the main goals are for people to understand and be understood by the others. We are being born and brought up in certain environments, created by our families. This formulates our behavior, the way e think and the language we use for it.

The Canterbury Tales is one of the greatest pieces of literature because of Chaucer’s story-telling techniques. He weaves together various stories and characters to create this memorable tale that continues to be studied and examined throughout the ages. However, some of the pilgrim’s tales are more engaging to the readers than other ones. For instance, the Knight’s Tale is filled with courtly love, jousting and war scenes, as well as the time honored knight’s code. It can be considered a tale of courtly love as well as an epic due to its writing style. Despite ...

The character of Bartleby is the most interesting narrative from the narrator of Bartleby the Scrivener. The narrator describes Bartleby as “one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and, in his case, those were very small”. It is important to note that before describing Bartley, the narrator first describes other characters working in the law office. The description of the first scrivener is that of Turkey who the narrator describes as excellent in the morning but poor in the afternoon. The narrator also describes Nippers as ambitious and whose character is directly ...

Prager, in his article, delves into the ideas of poverty and how it relates to crime in the economy. He starts off by describing several scenarios of his ideas of what poverty entails by describing his paternal grandparents who were immigrants living in such a small apartment such that none of the children ever had their own rooms. He further explains that most of the American population that are considered poor by societal standards own essential items such as a refrigerator, a stove, a television, and even a fridge. They are, therefore, able to provide for their material things ...

There are those who would justify the enslavement of humans by pointing to the enormous amount of wealth generated through that enslavement and that that enslavement was a sacrifice to which blacks willingly, though unwittingly, took part. If that were a valid assessment of the enslavement of so many for the benefit of so few, then its validity would sit on the testimony of those who were enslaved. However, that testimony, as found in Fredrick Douglas’ Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas does not support such an outlandish premise. On the contrary, Douglas’ Narrative witnesses the atrocity that ...

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien is a novel about the experiences of a group of American soldiers during the Vietnam War.

When the platoon is faced with death, Cross reconsiders his priorities and burns everything that reminds him of his life before the ...

Learning a second language can be a challenging experience for a person of any age. The general population typically believes that second language acquisition or SLA is easier for children than adults. Some regard this as a myth while others insist it is true. Studies show that the way people learn languages at different ages can vary and that can affect the ease or difficulty in ability to learn. People learn a second language for many different reasons: a) individuals may be raised with two languages spoken in their home, b) students at school are often required to learn ...

Donovan’s Charge and Fences are two plays that are written in completely different time periods—arguably, for two very different audiences. The topic of race and the discussion and discourse surrounding race are different today than they were when Wilson wrote his landmark play Fences. However, despite the fact that these plays were written in different times, there are still common themes that remain the same throughout both plays. Most notably, the conflict between pragmatism and morality runs strongly through both plays. In Fences, Wlison’s characters Troy and Rose face the world very differently. Rose is the ...

Architecture is viewed as the art of science that involves coming up with design in the form of a drawing, managing, and constructing structures such as building complexes, swimming pools, parks, and other various structures in a particular proportion and shape. It is in this regard that since time immemorial architecture has grown from simple ideas to the amazing and intriguing structures that exist in our lives today. One of the magnificent works of architecture has been the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai, UAE; that is the highest sky scraper to date. The enormous growth of the architectural world ...

Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 science fiction film Under the Skin is a supremely stylized, innately profound work that utilizes kaleidoscopic visuals and an unsettling performance from Scarlett Johannson to explore issues of the male gaze and take them to their furthest conclusion. Telling the story of an alien (Johansson) who comes to Earth and entices men with sex for her own twisted, mysterious purposes, Under the Skin charts the progression of a woman’s experience by simultaneously giving her a power and a predatory agency that women are not typically afforded, then stripping that agency away bit by bit ...

A theory is a set of interrelated propositions that are used in guiding practice or explaining certain phenomena. Theories in the nursing profession play a crucial role in this regard. Theories help in explaining phenomena and organizing knowledge in the nursing practice. Additionally, theories help in predicting, explaining, prescribing and describing some aspects in the nursing profession. Through these roles, the theories provide guidance to the profession and help in improving practice and patient outcomes. This paper thus aims at describing, evaluating and discussing Katherine Kolcaba’s theory of comfort.

While every theoretical framework has merit, this author believes that many of the dominant theories-- realism (specifically neorealism, in contrast to “classical realism”), liberalism and neofunctionalism--are inadequate in their ability to properly describe the changes that have taken place in recent Turkish international relations. For the purposes of this study, the author has concluded that the most meritorious theories which can be applied towards Turkey are three main bodies of the “New Institutionalisms”: Rational-Choice Institutionalism, Sociological Institutionalism and Historical Institutionalism. These theoretical frameworks have been chosen because of their flexibility. A major drawback of most theoretical models is ...

Discussion Question #1

The recent trend of making the news more entertaining only serves to dilute the importance and relevance of the actual important news stories. The peppering of puff pieces with real news detracts from the impact when a real news story hits. More time is spent on human interest stories than the actual news sometimes, and therefore people will pay more attention to that. The role of news to educate viewers can get sabotaged by the need to keep people feeling better and entertained. While the news may be seen as ‘sad,’ there is no need to force happy stories down ...

In harm’s way is a famous (some would say the definitive) account of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis – which has become one of the most notorious incidents involving the US Navy during World War two, because her sinking led to the greatest loss of life that the Us Navy suffered in a single engagement. Stanton tells the background to the ship’s sinking, but the book stands out because of the first-hand accounts of the sailors who survived the initial attack and then waited days to be rescued. As we shall see some of the sailors’ accounts are harrowing ...
