Introduction

The broad issue of gender equality and empowerment of women has been discussed in length and depth by various stakeholders in society. In fact, the topic stands out as one of the most highly debated issues through the years. The continued occurrence of incidences of gender discrimination clearly points out that the debates are yet to yield their ultimate objectives. The primary contention in all such arguments is the continuous portrayal of women as a lesser gender and thus belittling the morality and feminine’s obligations in society. Male chauvinists, who consider themselves superior and more potent have continuously ...

Abstract

Technological development has been part of human being evolution and development since way back. Attempts to measuring technological development led theorist like Gerhard Lenski, Leslie white, and Alvin Toffler to develop arguments expounding on the discourse of technological development in relation to human evolution. Various aspects have played important roles in the development and progress of technology. As such, the article is going to examine three important aspects namely energy and information which have played important roles in the evolution and progress of technology for ages. Through the lenses of these theorist arguments, we will compare and contrast the ...

It is redundant to acknowledge what a crucial role technology plays in our lives today. Over the last century, such scientist as Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White and Alvin Toffler introduced their theories trying to break down the issue into smaller pieces and offered their view on the evolution of the technologies, the reasons that stand behind and perspectives for the future. Gerhard Lenski was a scientist that produced one of the theories about the types of societies that can be defined by their technologies. He was a true believer that technology is the main force that drives change and ...

Early functionalists such as Durkheim and Spencer developed stage models of societal evolution which tried to explain the development of societies from simple to complex forms. However, these theories were largely abandoned in the 20th century because they proposed unrealistic theories regarding the evolution of societies. Thus, some critics accused evolutionary theories of being ethnocentric because they viewed all societies as inevitably evolving towards capitalism (Turner “Varieties” 164). Moreover, other theories were considered utopian because theorists such as Marx proposed communism as the next stage in the evolution of societies, after capitalism. After being dismissed for many years, the ...

CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMING OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR?

How did Hitler’s Germany Contribute to the Coming of the Second World War? On January 30, 1933, second German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler, the leader of the largest political party National Socialists, Chancellor of Germany. That date marked the beginnings of Nazi Germany and the Third Reich and the destruction of the democratic German Republic. Hitler always said that the Third Reich would exist for a thousand years, but it lasted only for twelve years and four months. However, despite its short existence, Hitler’s rule left a significant mark both in German history and ...

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 ...

Who would have ever imagined, in their wildest dreams that a simple splatter of paint, a solid coat of one single colour painted on a canvas, or even an infant like sketch that would take 10 seconds to complete, would in the right hands sell for millions and millions of dollars? Is this even possible in today’s vast and sweeping art market? It most certainly is, and records for highest priced artworks sold over the last century continue to be broken to this very day. However it is our intention to explore specifically as to why such simple ...

Outlining Aristotle’s Theory of Tragedy, a brief discussion on the definition of tragedy can be delivered. According to the Theory of Tragedy, it is a kind of literature that presents replication of several serious actions of different magnitudes compiled with each brand of artistic as well as linguistic embellishment (Jeong-Hyok Seo). In addition to that, the literature has been divided into many parts in the form of continuous actions sometimes not descriptive. At the end of the play, the several incidents create distinct misfortune and fear that ends in accomplishing grief. Considering the tragedy as a literary genre, ...

Nazism just as it is fascism is a political ideology based on “political behavior that is obsessed with the idea of community decline, humiliation, or victimhood by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity.” In this ideology, there is a mass based party of committed nationalists, militants that work with traditional elites to abandon democratic ideals and employ the use of violence to cleanse the society

According to Herf, Nazism is a political ideology that took root in Europe in the early twentieth century to mid twentieth century in Europe. In general terms, Nazism is often classified as a right wing political ...

This design project requires one to build a demo platform that will elaborate ECE/CPE concepts using a PID Controller. A demo platform is needed in this design, since developing it has numerous advantages, which have been discussed in this report. The first advantage of building a demo platform is that it serves as a prototype, which implies that it will help in the identification of any design flaws and errors. This is attributable to the fact that prototyping assists in determining whether the system functions as required. It is important to have the demo platform as a developer can easily eliminate any errors identified. ...

INTRODUCTION

In recent times, there has been an intense exploration of the Tunneling field effects transistors. This is because it has been discovered to have the potential to offer a way out of many concerns, especially the power concerns, in nanoelectronics. “Graphene nanoribbon was recently discovered and has been deemed ideal for tunneling FETs,” [1]. For graphene nanoribbons tunneling transistors, the subthreshold swing has been investigated to be a nonlinear function of temperature. The graphene nanoribbon has been declared as the best candidate for tunneling field effect transistor owing to its compatibility with planar processing, direct and narrow band gap, and low ...

As one of the most important writers of the 20th century, Ernest Hemingway provided many innovations in the way poems and prose were written and read. One of the most important theories that have been developed by Hemingway in his writings is the ‘iceberg theory’, or ‘theory of omission,’ which alludes to his minimalist, almost workmanlike prose, which nonetheless manages to obscure a great deal of thematic depth below the surface. The iceberg theory is found throughout his works, as Hemingway’s prose just discusses what is right at the plot surface of the events unfolding in his stories, but ...

Introduction

Color theory is widely defined but in visual art, it is defined as the realistic control in mixing of colors and the effects to vision of specific color combinations. It encompasses a multiple of applications, design and concepts. However, at hand are three classes of the color theory: the context of the usage of colors, the harmony and the color wheel. The color wheel is based on blue, yellow and red the traditionally primary colors. Isaac Newton developed the first color wheel in 1666. Since then artists and scientists embark on studies for the various concepts and designs of ...

Opera defines a form of art, either comic or tragic, where musicians and vocalists perform dramatic pieces that bring together the elements of musical score and text, more often than not in a theatrical setting. Though dramatic, music forms an essential part of the opera. As such, operas usually contain choruses, arials, recitatives, trios and duets, and congregate the elements of spoken theatre, like costumes, dance, scenery and drama. In simple terms, opera is drama set to music, which could either be orchestral music or music from a lesser ensemble. Opera as we know it is believed to have been created ...
