Essays on Embody

Gilgamesh and Odysseus are well-known heroes from old epics of Mesopotamian and Greek cultures, correspondingly. The two characters have similar traits, such as courage and physical strength. However, there are also differences between the two of them. Each hero’s traits divulge fascinating information about their cultural ideals. Additionally, cross-referencing fictional individuals with real-life cultural ideals is worthwhile when examining any culture, at any point in history. Contemporary American culture, for example, appears to value physical attributes and attractiveness, more than anything. Examining Gilgamesh and Odysseus can be helpful not only in revealing details about the different cultural ideals ...

Sexuality and Politics in Music Marketing

Paper Due Date Introduction The music industry is a complex and multifaceted structure of relationships, views, perceptions, tastes, and opinions, which creates the audience and artists. While each of the artists aims at bringing individuality and its unique style to surprise, attract and retain his listeners, there are numerous concepts and elements of our social environment, which build on collective interest and create debate. Understanding of the differences between the worldviews on such critical social elements, as political environment, sexuality, religion, allows companies use this knowledge as marketing instruments of modern businesses. To narrow down the discussion, this document ...

Faith, being an intangible concept, is almost indefinable. But there are theologians, like Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich, who dared to define faith and its role in everyday life. There are similarities and differences between the interpretation of Kierkegaard and Tillich of faith, and some critics are not contented with or opposed to their ideas, particularly as regards the subject-object division. This paper argues that a thorough, critical analysis of the ideas of Kierkegaard and Tillich regarding faith will demonstrate both theologians remaining devoted to the conflict between the finite world and the infinite, unbounded realm. Kierkegaard often emphasizes ...

Computing is one of the most popular fields of study today, and for good reason: computers have changed the way that humanity deals with each other and with problems. Nearly every facet of life today is affected by computing and number theory, but the events leading up to the computer-heavy world that exists today is checkered and fascinating. The Universal Computer: The Road from Leibniz to Turing by Martin Davis is a text that explores the history of number theory and computing, from the early days of number theory right up to the birth of modern programming. There is ...

Abstract

The cognitive psychology postulates that the environment and the person influence the human behavior. As such, the exposure of the children to the TV shows encompasses the environment that influences the way they interact. Based on the result of the interview, the parents sampled confirm that they have noted behavior change among their children. Indeed, some of the children emulated the characters in the TV shows while others pressure their parents to keep up with the standards in the movies. Notably, the findings of this paper agree with the reviews of previous studies. Particularly, both confer that excess TV ...

Literary works have always been the mirrors of the society, and many of them have come to critique the subjugation of women. One can take into consideration the literary works, The Awakening, by Kate Chopin and Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House that delve into the influences of the society and the family in oppressing women. The respective narratives would lead to a better comprehension of the intricate influences and experiences that finally pave the way of the emancipation of the characters of Edna and Nora from the shackles of patriarchy and subjugation. A comparative analysis of the ...

Understanding of the political system of Japan is critical for understanding the major interests of this country and forecasting its behavior. Since the 1950s until the early 2000s the Liberal Democratic Party remained in power. But in the 21st century, it was temporarily ousted by other political forces. In 2012, it regained power and is ruling party in Japan now. What are the reasons behind the LDP’s domination? I will try to explain it not going deep into history but illustrating the most recent developments in Japanese policy. The result of the Japanese parliamentary elections of 16 December ...

Abstract

Economics is the science of studying behavioral aspects of the consumer market. Trends in the consumer market directly influence the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Micro economic specifically explores the aspects of rationalization that affects the decision making of the consumer market. Research in these areas is key to the basis of institutional theory: which can be used to make future productions of the consumer market for instance. The theory of bounded rationality holds, that the decision making process is usually influenced by limitations such as time, available information and cognitive functions. The consumer therefore is ...

It was in Dead Poets Society that I have first encountered the words “Carpe diem.” In the movie, the main protagonist (Keating) explained that phrase Carpe Diem with this sentence: “Because we are food for works, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die (Dead Poet Society, 14:40- 14:53), that is why Keating further added, “Why I seize the day.” But the real question is what does it take in order for an individual to seize the day? In order to ...

The early 1900s was a turbulent era for America. As World War I raged in Europe, the Spanish flu ravaged nations and communities around the world, leading to the death of millions, and becoming one of the deadliest natural disasters in the history of mankind. While America dealt with the aftermath of prohibition and the Great Depression, Russia and Ireland were engulfed in civil war, leading to major political shifts that reverberated throughout the Western hemisphere. It is no wonder, then, that some historians and scholars refer to this decade as “The Crazy Years” (Lamb 195). The sentiments of ...

Discussion and Responses

My research indicates the most prized Confucian virtues of Ren, Li, Shu, Xiao, and Wen are social virtues. The notion of sincerity, unlike our Western translation, means to choose naturally what is correct for society. (Molloy, 2010) This being said, Ess states that the Ubuntu project illustrates the emphasis on “community well-being” from the view of this religion, which is much different than our Western individualistic perspective. (Ess, 2009, p. 79)

RESPONSE: There is an evident truth to sincerity. I would like to add that apart from sincerity as a social virtue, I believe there is nothing more ...

Literary works are a form of aesthetic expression that delves deep into the dynamics of the society and beings. The literary artists explore the territories of quintessence that explicate the intertwining relationships between the domains and characters in the milieu and society. The novels in context are varied from one another in terms of content and portraiture. However, there is a commonality among the three literary works in terms of their portrayal of the shadow of the adult world. Although these artistic works explore different avenues of emotions and relationships, there echoing presence of the adult world in all of these ...

Theme

The Vacuum is a poem by Howard Nemerov that focuses on the central theme of loneliness caused by the death of a loved one. However, Nemerov took a very different twist in writing the poem, mainly because its entire structure is composed of puns that tend to reference the word “vacuum” in two ways – the space the wife of the speaker left when she died and the appliance, the vacuum cleaner, she once frequently used when she was living. Given such a rather sad yet creative expression, Nemerov was able to vividly embody the emotions of the speaker, who is missing his wife ...

Introduction

The Internet is known for its vast access to information. However, not all kinds of information are suitable for viewing and reading by all kinds of audiences. Content containing such information tend to offend the beliefs and disturb the impressions of users. Thus, it has become a practice by website owners and web administrators alike to conceal specific kinds of information, explained or unexplained, in a move currently known as censorship. Censorship, however, is not a viable means of preventing websites from offending and disturbing users, as such could result to the misrepresentation of information that can be deceiving to them. Given ...

Friedrich Nietzsche is one of history’s foremost philosophers and philologists, often called the father of nihilism. This extends to his portrayal of women in his literary works; while he focused primarily on works of dramatic theory rather than writing stories himself, these books are nonetheless the expression of his thoughts on women as a species, particularly as they relate to the overall condition of man of which he was so concerned. Nietzsche’s own personal views on women were hardly positive, as he seems to believe that women were the essence of everything that was unreasonable and distracting to ...

First impressions are associate degree of essential elements of how we tend to have interaction with individuals. However, initial appearances enable one to create opinions regarding how somebody can reply to his own life in the future. Physical components are aspects of embody garments, elegance and personal hygiene that become planted in our memory as we tend to imagine somebody (Roberts, & Linden, 2010). Non-physical components embody colloquial cues, unpredictable behavior or perhaps simply social taboos like responsive a phone within the midst of oral communications, particularly during a short meeting or with restricted contact. Initial impressions strike consciously and unconsciously and ...

A comprehensive justification of the federal grant system is that it provides a measure of service about the national interest. Every grant from the federal government to all sectors serves the same purpose. It is only difficult to assess the matters of national concern since they are many. I think the federal works by stimulating the state and local authorities in the fields of national interest to ascertain the proper use of the financial aid. America does not have new grants of national expenditure with the exception of civil defense. The inherent powers provide for the development of ...

Federal: United States Secret Service (USSS)

The United States Secret Service (USSS) is an integral component of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for handling of financial crimes and the protection of national leaders and their families. Currently, the USSS has an estimated 6,700 employees and 4,400 sworn members dealing with problems on fraud concerning the financial institutions and transactions of the US. Yet, the death of President William McKinley by assassination in 1901 led to the expansion of the role of the USSS to include the provision of safeguarding mechanisms for national leaders and all those ...

Introduction

One century after Henrik Ibsen wrote Hedda Gabler, the play still remains to provoke deeply repressed emotions we, as human beings, tend to disregard; emotions of fantasy, terror and distress. Hedda Gabler, a very disturbed woman, remains a very perplexing, mysterious character. As the director, I will explore several ideals in terms of how the character of Hedda should be seen, how she should be taken on, embodied and brought to life. For instance, is Hedda an ardent protagonist battling social boundaries? Or is she the child-like, sixteen year old, mean girl? Could she be considered a rogue anti-hero, or is she a ...

While many zombies in popular culture and film involve the deliberate waking of the dead whose purpose is to feast on your flesh and turn you into one of them, zombies also carry uniquely prescient intentions and purposes in their 21st century representations. Often, in the wake of 28 Days Later, these zombies are not the traditional Romero zombies, consisting of rotting flesh that inexplicably walks; In the 2009 Canadian film Pontypool, zombies are eventually found to be "infected" with words and language, with meaning itself becoming the vehicle for transmission of this violence and destructiveness inherent to their ...

In 1939, the film “Gone with the Wind” was released and became one of the top-grossing films of all times. The producers did not only try their best to satisfy the white Southerners and the Black slaves, but challenged the public point of view on gender roles, which were relatively unchanged since the Civil War. This duality of intentions made the film both interesting and controversial in its nature. The rhetorical question in the article by Naomi Wolf “A generation on, do women feel free?” is of particular for this paper (Wolf 487). This question might be a mystery for ...

In this day and age, humanity is rubbed raw of cynicism. The information age is taking our world to greater heights and banishes all mysteries left in the world—and in such haste. In the mad rat race, people have grown weary and look at our reality as a dull brick wall devoid of any meaning and wonder. Once upon a time, the horizon promised exotic islands, unseen civilizations, treasures waiting to be unearthed. The only place where these seem to exist are places of fiction and fantasy. So where does a writer of literary realism such as John Updike belong, if ...

Intro

The history of games has always been focused on stories - whether it is saving the princess from Donkey Kong as Mario or attempting to roll as many objects as possible into your katamari, games have objectives, and as such have narrative. As games become more complicated, the stories have also become more complicated, as have the ways in which we immerse ourselves in new worlds. In this paper, three aspects of the future of video games will be explored - the concept of 'virtual space,' the need to make video games 'real,' and the need for a strong ...

The Scrivener’

Perhaps the most sophisticated aspect of Melville’s story is in how effectively he lures the reader into focusing on the character of Bartleby. The scrivener’s inscrutability is oddly compelling and invites one to try and “understand” Bartleby, to fashion a diagnosis, even imagine a treatment or cure. But the story is about perspective itself, the perspective of the lawyer, who can only assess and try to make sense of his enigmatic clerk within the confines of his own singular world view. True, his is the ethic of Wall Street and the pragmatic rationalism that defines the class of people ...

Introduction

Organizational culture refers to the shared values and beliefs in an organization that influences the actions and decisions of the people in the organization. The culture ultimately affects the ability of the organization to accomplish its missions and objectives. Culture influences the attitudes, beliefs, motivation, performance expectations and the behavior of the employees. It can motivate employees or discourage them. It can cause discrimination or curb and prevent it. An organization’s work culture should discourage unethical behaviors and reinforce acceptable behavior. There are three main areas of organizational culture that play a big role in an organization.

Alice Walker is an influential writer who expressed her passion for tradition and heritage in the compelling short story, Everyday Use. This critically acclaimed tale is set in the rural South of the 1960s, a backdrop against which Mrs. Johnson and her daughters, Dee and Maggie, play out a parable about the struggle for cultural integrity and of remaining true to one’s nature. In Everyday Use, Walker would have us understand that keeping faith with oneself is the best way to maintain a link to the past.

Background

For Walker, that past can be traced to her native Georgia. One of eight ...

Ray Kinsella narrates the story Shoeless Joe (Kinsella, 1999). It’s set in a quiet farm in Iowa, where Kinsella’s support team were his wife as well as his daughter, Karin. Somehow, part of this support group is his father (even though he they were estranged most the novel), Johnny Kinsella, who introduced to him the love he has and was so compelled to write about – baseball. His love for this sport carried him out into such a play on fantasy, and led him to do the things which he did. His feelings and emotions towards the sport were in a ...
