Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Land:

Purchase of land will have no effect on the income statement of the company as it is a capital transaction and should be recorded on the Balance Sheet only.

Different cultures sustain various values, some of which are not even comparable with one another. Societies have myriad ways of expressing this, yet their cultural productions are some of the richest ways of understanding how they conceived the world.

This is especially true and evident in that, even though Beowulf was not actually Anglo-Saxon, he does represent the ideals of this people. As such, one can see that bravery was one of the most extraordinary characteristics that this people had as ...

Brand Love

The relationships between people and brands have been studied for many years, though the researchers have different points of view but they found some common results. People may like some brands, but at the same time they cannot love them. People’s feelings influence the marketing strategy of a brand and sometimes may cause the false decisions ("Brand Love. What is it? [New Study]", 2015). Brand love is a rational feeling that depends on the receiving rational and material benefits while human love is more irrational and altruistic in some way.

The practice of “Extraordinary Rendition” has been widely publicized and criticized. It involves the covert transfer of alleged terrorists, who are citizens of other nations, from one country to another country in which the questioning of imprisoned persons involve extreme measures because pertinent international laws there are either lax or do not exist.

However, other measures are used exclusively by some governments to punish the suspects of terror attacks. Among these methods is the use of extraordinary renditions, which involve surrendering the criminals to another country for interrogation and detention (Horowitz & Cammarano, 2013). ...

For this comparative research, we selected Spain and Germany, two countries of the European Union with similar political parliamentarian systems. Personification is a distinctive feature of presidentialism and it seems reasonable to examine to what extent this trend occurs in European parliamentary systems today.

The position of political leaders in parliamentary systems is different from the position occupied by them in the presidential republics. Lijphart identifies three characteristics that distinguish essentially presidentialism and parliamentarianism (Lijphart, 2000). Firstly, in a presidential system the executive chief is elected directly by the electors by popular vote and therefore without legislative intervention, so ...

Chartres, France

The monuments and architecture in ancient times allow talking and narrating about the historical background from the angle of time in which they were built.

In medieval Europe, especially in France, the Gothic architecture was at its pinnacle. Cathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres is one of the Gothic architecture examples in ...

Dreams are a profound mystery that largely went unexplained throughout the majority of human history until Sigmund Freud tried tangling with them. One of his assertions was that if a person feels guilt for any reason but then represses that guilt so that he no longer senses it on a conscious level, it will emerge on an unconscious level, such as through insanity or nightmares. It is possible to repress guilt, of course, so that it no longer has much to do with us on a day-to-day level, but it does not leave. It simply lurks in a different ...

A commercial flight or a common carrier one is expected to exercise the highest degree of care in its undertaking, in contrast to contract carrier operators who are only expected to perform their duties with the care expected from an average person.

People can be blind to love, truth, or reality in general. The reason can be strong emotions or an intention to escape a traumatizing situation. At the same time, the outcomes of such blindness are usually tragic. Euripides was a master of creating dramatic plays that encapsulated the strongest emotions of a person by engaging them into the traumatizing actions and experiences. Particularly, the topic of blindness is particularly vividly represented in Euripides’s “Medea” (Euripides 17). She is overwhelmed with her frustration and anger on Jason’s betrayal and humiliation. In the swirl of a blind rage Medea ...

The appearance of Kabuki is attributed to Izumo Okuni a servant of the temple, which, according to the available documentary evidence, headed a predominantly female troupe that in 1603 staged presentation and light scenes (dance, comic sketches), choosing the parched bed of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto as their stage. Gradually, this company has gained national recognition and the plays by Okuni (and subsequently the entire genre) came to be defined by the term "Kabuki". Its basic meaning (literally – the technique of singing and dancing) was supplemented with a hint of "extraordinary" and "shocking" nature of the action. Kabuki ...

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...

Ordinary and extraordinary treatment has different meaning to different people. For those working in the medical profession, ordinary means standard treatment while extraordinary means non-standard treatment. When used by an ethicist, ordinary treatment will refer to those means of prolonging life which are morally acceptable by both the physician and patient preserving life and health. Extraordinarily relates to those means of treatment which are not morally acceptable. Standard treatment for a particular group of patients is more likely to be morally required than a non-standard treatment. In some cases, standard treatment may be not morally required for individual patients ...

Immersion in Morocco

I encountered Rachid, a Moroccan, international student on a visit to his lifelong friend studying here on campus. Rachid, whom I met over in a social gathering organized for celebrating a friend's birthday at a nearby restaurant, was as active and as open a person as one could imagine. Before I met Rachid, I had never met a Moroccan before. Our first encounter was, if anything, a particularly fulfilling one and hence more encounters in subsequent days. In our first encounter, I was introduced to Rachid by a distant friend who spent last summer in Casablanca, Morocco. There, our ...

In the poem “Paradise Lost” John Milton addresses a number of issues. One of the major themes of the poem is obedience and temptation. The author provides us with an interesting idea of freedom in terms of Christianity. The whole book is focused on the notion of Christianity.

On the other hand, freedom is mentioned to portray God himself, the primary conceived Son, the godlikeness of God, the ...

I would like to talk about the movie “Mountain Patrol”, filmed in 2004 by the Chinese director Chuan Lu. The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis. It really turned out a beautiful picture, in which both actors and documentary were involved. I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...

When considering the relationship between architecture and economy, the physical attributes and architectural aspects of Burj Khalifa are less important than the way in which the building was part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at establishing Dubai as a major city capable of compeering a global scale (Aldred 204).

Undoubtedly, managers need to have a specific set of abilities and skills to effectively perform their jobs. But what qualities set successful managers apart from mediocre ones?

Everyone likes to be a hero, but being a hero is not a simple process. It is a journey of life from simple to complex; from simplicity to hardship and from ignorance to knowledge.

The hero’s hardship and ultimate success are portrayed in Western and Eastern Epics. Ramayana is one of the heroic epics in Sanskrit composed by ancient sage Valmiki.

Are Leadership and Management Different?

There are a certain key differences between leaders and managers, even though both the concepts must go hand in hand. In a book published in 1989, “On Becoming a Leader”, Warren Bennis highlighted following differences. In his opinion, managers administer, but leaders innovate. Because of this the managers just maintain, whereas the leaders develop. This is what makes a manager a copy, whereas the developmental efforts make a leader original. Further, the manager focuses on the structure and system, whereas leader focuses on people. This is further exemplified by manager’s focus on control, and leader’s emphasis on generating trust. In other words, manager ...
