1. Do you take Antigone’s or Creon’s point of view? Defend your decision. I would take Creon’s point of view. First, the play depicts Creon as showing a strong stance on campaigning against corruption and corrupt individuals. It's true that as long as individuals may divert from the ethical path by losing the way to engage in intentional bribery and corruption. Creon says that people have often succumbed to the hope of gain, thereby making him suspect that almost everyone at one point has been involved in bribery to betray their public duty. He is categorical ...

An Antique’s Period Bias Amongst Women The Medieval Period dating 476 AD until 1000 AD was one of the most degrading times for women in any class. Men had it simpler than they did because they ended up dominating all of society and they looked down upon women, for example they were able to get jobs unlike women. Men and their accomplishments were noticed and women were not recognized for their hard work, whether it be taking care of the children or being a housewife. Their hard work wasn’t sophisticated like men being painters or architects, but ...

Cohabitation is an arrangement that involves two people, who are in a romantic relationship, living together as a couple without being formally married. Current trends show that cohabiting is becoming either a type of family system or a pathway to forming a traditional family through marriage. According to Finer and Philbin (2014), there has been a “growing delay of first marriage, which has been offset by increasing levels and duration of nonmarital cohabitation” (p. e272). Smock (2000, p. 3) states that the occurrence of marriages preceded by cohabitation between 1965 and 1974 was only 10%, whereas the occurrence of ...

At first blush, the argument against abortion is an easy one. After all, so many women have a hard time getting pregnant in the first place, that there is no reason for any woman who turns up pregnant should even want to end that baby’s life, right? No one would want his or her own mother to have considered abortion, because that meant that person would never even have existed in the first place. It is for this reason that there are so many people who get really angry about the whole abortion question. It is for this ...

I have always had interest in curating my own art gallery and exhibition, but this idea has been faced by several obstacles. Many questions abound with regards to my ability in determining my success in creating a successful arty gallery, and what paintings I should incorporate in my exhibition house. Another standoff that I have to endure relates to my selection of art work, which will not only trigger the attention of the public, but will give a historical significance to my art gallery.

PART 1. Measurement of liquid and plastic limits of a material

Introduction The lab is performed to test the plastic and liquid limits of soil. The liquid limit is arbitrary referred to as the water content in percentage at which a part of the soil in a standard cup by a groove of standard measurements flows together at the base of this groove for about a half-inch (13 millimeters) when subjected to twenty-five shocks from the standard cup being dropped ten millimeters in a standard liquid limit apparatus that is operated at a rate of 2 shocks/second. Plastic limit is referred as the water content in percentage at which the ...

Wet Sieve Analysis

Wet sieving analysis of soils is used to analyze particles that contain large amounts of silt and clay. The soil particles are washed to ensure that the fine-grained particles are separated from the coarse-grained ones. The extremely fine particles normally clump together and have difficulty in passing the # 200 sieve. In this experiment, the classification of soils is done in order to determine the percentage of soil particle that passes the # 200 sieve. The Wet analysis is used to determine the fine particles in the soil sample (“45Th Anniversary of The Journal, 16)

Introduction

An atomic particle is defined as a unit of matter or energy that has been made up fundamentally of matter. There have been different theories at different times regarding the nature of this particle but in the modern day atomic theory, an atom has a nucleus in its center that is the densest part of the entire particle (NDT, 2016). This part is also the core of the particle. Inside the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons that are subatomic particles. There is a charge on each of the subatomic particles and protons are negatively charged subatomic ...

Likewise, in societal level, people interact by communicating to each other. Effective communication occur when an individual can decode the information he or ...

Madame Bovary was a book written in most part about desires, dream worlds, expensive luxuries, adultery and betrayal. Emma Roualt, a convent-educated farm girl with a head full of romantic fantasies and ideals, is willing to do anything to get off her father’s farm. During her time at the convent school she learned from romance novels (novels that were considered blasphemy during this time period) how she dreamed her life should be, she also acquired several talents while attending convent school; she learned how to play the piano beautifully, she learned about different countries and the lifestyle in various countries that ...

Visiting a carpentry shop, I came across a sand paper which may be the coarsest sand paper I ever touched. It felt like the grains are as course as the grains of the sand. After two minutes, I tried rubbing my fingers again but the sand paper seems to become fewer courses just like rubbing my fingers to a sugar in a cup. After another two minutes, I tried rubbing again my fingers to the sand paper and this time, it was not as coarse as the sugar anymore. The grains seemed to become finer just like the grains of a coffee. Thinking of ...

Abstract

This paper considers the problems, such as how sexual harassment and flirting become interchangeable in a social context and lead to suppression of sexual harassment, when there are no significant definitions that delineate them. It also shows the need to have such a definition in a culture that has not been able to give women an equality status in the society. By observations and collating anecdotal data, a survey of the factors that could potentially be regarded as crossing over the line of flirtations and treading on sexual harassment are listed. Offline and Online encounters are considered for this purpose. The paper finds ...

Imagine a young girl, age of thirteen or fourteen going back from school and then suddenly attacked and raped by a bunch of boys. Does she have a right with her parent's consent to conduct an abortion and would this act be morally right or wrong? The debate between the ones who support and the ones who defend the choice for abortion seems to be endless.

Abstract Sexual offences on children are a very traumatic event for them. This is the main reason why they repress this abuse in order to protect themselves from the memories. The statute of limitation comes in handy for this kind of claims. It enables people to be able to defend themselves against these claims when they are innocent and it helps the plaintiff to give evidence they may have about the issue. There have been many cases where adults have been able to remember abuses from childhood and have taken their perpetrators to court. The main reason for doing ...

Environmental Studies

The need for a precise forecasting of the impacts of climate change on the future distribution of the Earth's principle biome is increasing. In this paper, forecasting methods covered include: the niche-theory models which categorize species by habitat (particularly environmental conditions where species may persist or perish). The general circulation models and the species-area curve models which consider large groups of species or all species. The existing climate models based on approximations of increasing carbon dioxide and, to some extent, by lessening sulfate aerosols, forecast that temperatures will rise by 2.5-10.4oF (1.4-5.8oC) between the year1990 and 2100. Greater warming ...

Introduction

The clothing that the people of 18th century Europe wore has the ability to fascinate us like some objects of their material culture do. Clothing is intimate, for example, an eighteenth century garment seen in a museum collection, usually elicits an instinctive urge to touch it. To some of us, we have the desire to experience the elaborate decoration, the beautiful fabrics and the tactile qualities found in 18th century Europe clothing no longer with our own clothing. To other people, these desires are raised by the need to understand the people from the past a little better.

Introduction

Stillman concepts of administration and public policy provides that success in bureaucracy comes from skilled executives who identify tasks in their organizations critically, and distribute authority appropriately in regards to those tasks.

Friedrich argues that there is necessity to instil formal and externally imposed mechanisms in ensuring administrative responsibility, due to rise in government administration, professionalism, and growth of public administration discretion and complexity. Friedrich’s ideas apply in the case of torture, as lack of these mechanisms is seen to lead to cases of torture. Unsustainable in practice was the conceptual distinction between administration and policy. Friedrich was ...

The numerous counts of torture by members of the the United States (US) Army committed against prisoners of Abu Ghraib in Iraq in 2003 transpired from a series of policy changes that created conditions allowing such acts to occur. A closer look at the history of policy changes reveals that officials starting from the topmost position held by President George W. Bush have set forth a chain of actions committed by lower officials in a descending manner based on their positions. From cabinet secretaries down to the Army generals and other officers directly responsible for handling Abu Ghraib, policy changes have influenced ...

Torture is a contentious subject, particularly in this day and age. The issue of whether or not torture should be allowed under certain circumstances is one that is constantly being debated in the American political science field. When considering torture, the main question posed to the government and military-industrial complex seems to be whether or not torture is ever an acceptable way to elicit information out of an individual. The discussion of torture is a complex one, because torture is considered morally reprehensible in nearly every way; however, the discussion of torture asks the government to weigh the human rights of ...

While many new advances in technology have brought the menacing intrusion of the government into the lives of the individual that Orwell foresaw in 1984 closer to reality, few have resonated as ominously as the recent revelation that the American government has ordered itself access to metadata about all of the phone records for subscribers to Verizon Wireless, as well as access to Internet activity going through such major hubs as Apple and Google. While the American public was up in arms, the response of Congressional leadership on both sides of the aisle indicated that the White House has ...

Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" follows two conflicted and vague characters - Jig and the American. While their big struggle and conflict is never explained, it is implied that these two characters were or are in a relationship, Jig is pregnant, and the American wants her to have an abortion. The silent treatment Jig gives the American and the requests made by the American show us their personalities. The hesitation for both characters to talk about the issue at hand shows the often delicate nature of relationships when unexpected but traumatically changing situations face them. The ...

What is the essence of nature, and does time impede that essence or is it a companion of nature, giving it its rhythms and courses? The Romantic poets of the eighteenth century spent a great deal of time pondering nature and time in their poetry, but none more so than William Wordsworth and John Keats. While both of them strove to understand man’s relation with nature and time, there were startling contrasts to how each of them approached the subjects. This contrast can be seen clearly in two poems, Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” and Keats’ “Ode on a ...

Argumentative Essay: Pro-Choice

The debate surrounding abortion is a consistently heated one, with many different arguments arguing for either the so-named "pro-life" (opposed to abortion) and "pro-choice" (in support of abortion) positions on the issue. In essence, the issue boils down to whether or not women have the right to terminate pregnancy; pro-life advocates believe that this is tantamount to murder as it prevents a child from being born, while pro-choice advocates believe that abortion gives women control over their own bodies. While there are very compelling and emotional arguments for the restricting of abortion, the procedure itself must remain a legal one.

One of ...
