Bryce: After a year of applying, interviewing, jumping through all the hoops, I finally realized nothing I did mattered. I just couldn’t take another rejection. The bottom line is, no one wants me.

Bryce: I guess I’m not feeling much of anything.

Bryce: No. It’s okay. I’ve just felt too hopeless to talk to anyone. One example of an obstacle to communicating emotions in the situation is fear (Karalus, 2014). Bryce fears what the future holds because of his employment status or the lack thereof. He also fears that his friend Todd might mock him for still not having a job after six months. Another ...

Background

There is a growing debate on whether the government should make it illegal to smoke in public places. Those proposing for its ban argue that smoking has harmful effects on both the smoker and non-smokers as well as to the environment. However, those opposing the ban maintain that smoking helps relax and making smoking in public places illegal would amount to infringement of personal rights. A smoking ban refers to a public policy prohibiting smoking in public places. Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 different chemicals and at least 50 of these contain poisonous carcinogens (Hudson 24). The first reports of ...

How Photographs Influence What People Believe

How Photographs Influence What People Believe People have many ways that they examine information to decide whether it is factual. Talking to others, doing experiments, looking at pictures, reading, and doing research are just a few ways that people form ideas about the surrounding world. Most people are familiar with the phrase, “seeing is believing,” which suggests that visual confirmation is a good way to establish whether something is true or false. It is easy to imagine how this works, because using the evidence of what is seen in order to make decisions is an essential part of life for ...

I tell myself, “you should be outside enjoying the sunshine,” but I realize that my dreaded reflection paper for English Grammar, is due in just eight hours. The pain of facing another all-nighter hits me square in the face. Why did I keep procrastinating when I was only too-well acquainted with the insalubrious effects, and fallout that regret would bring me? What a drag. But I knew I had to get it done. Sure, I wanted to be a great writer and impress my instructor with all the proper grammar I ...

1) The scientific method is an organized approach used to explain why things happen or to predict what will happen. The scientific method aims to answer questions and problems objectively and accurately by conducting experiments. The first step in the scientific method is the definition of the problem. One has to have a specific problem which one wants to resolve. After defining the problem, questions must be asked. The purpose of asking questions is to limit the scope of the experiment. The questions will serve as a guide so that the experiment does not lose its focus. The question should be ...

Naomi Klein’s essay entitled Coopting Dissent revolves around the relationship of employers and their employees in the multinational corporations. She discusses how employers believe that their problem is limited to their capacity to communicate their brand to their consumers. She also points out that companies care less on their employees and focus on generation of profit through a cause.

Klein begins with her own experience as a worker for a company that introduced an easy job but later on transformed it and focused on profitability. Corporations adopt their causes to benefit their brands and later on use it for promotion.

- What should Joe do in this situation?

In the case of Joe’s situation involving his decision making with the company, I think that Joe needs to do his own method on how the company would survive and regain the success. In a business, there will always be competitors who would try to let us go down and leave the business world. There will always be an enemy whenever we engaged in the business world. Even though Joe has a pretty good relationship with the other companies, his duty as the sales representative in UWEAR is far more important than ...

It is best achieved by intentionally grouping students of similar academic and learning levels to better facilitate the learning process. It is also achieved by providing several learning options to help the student absorb the information and make sense of the concepts taught.

Struggling – an example of differentiated instruction for struggling students is the development of after-school tutorial programs to focus on the subjects the students are struggling with. Another example is conducting special summer programs to help ...

“Close relationships sometimes mask poor communication” is an article, which discusses one of the most frequently met problems of modern families. Indeed, a lot of people face such problem as miscommunication between spouses, close friends and relatives. In my opinion, Boaz Keysar gave a very good explanation of the problem and its roots: “…closeness can lead people to overestimate how well they communicate” (as cited in “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication”, 2011).

People tend to think that they know well their spouse, best friend, etc. However, in spite of all closeness, it is still impossible to ...

Introduction

Whatever persuasive the financiers’ statements regarding the controlled and secured national debt might be, any credits do not mean that you have been given a gift which is not expected to be returned. The nature of the credit is that it involves a paying back procedure or “repayment” as it is referred to in the economic system. I am deeply convinced that huge and growing public debts do not bring anything perpetual to the economy – it is just a delayed, “buried” bankruptcy challenge. The figures illustrate that the more available credits were to people and the more a country’s standard of living ...

Research Paper

Introduction It is arguable that if many people were consulted, they would opt for refuse disposal sites to be situated far away from residential areas and places of business. There would be efficient garbage collection services (Meesters, 2009). However, this is not the case in many of the residential areas. The garbage collection services are inefficient either due to mismanagement or inadequacy of resources. In some residential areas, the efforts by the local authorities are complemented by private garbage collection firms (Mwangi, 2002) in order to eliminate the health hazards (Rajvaidya & Markandey, 2005). It is this situation ...

In the following two scenarios the lives of a black female and white male with distinctly different lifestyles are described. Evidence of the wide gaps in society are clearly displayed by the following two examples. The black female is born to a single mother who has a high school education; currently unemployed after losing her full-time job at a school cafeteria after Hurricane Katrina forced the school to shut down. In addition to the loss of her mother’s full-time job loss after Hurricane Katrina, the family also lost their rental home, leaving them no option but to live in a FEMA trailer. ...

Family has always been the core value in a human’s life. Parents should be the ones to teach their children the difference between right and wrong giving them life lessons and being an example to follow. Family relations and values have always had a strong impact on child’s behavior and have always formed his vision of the world. Unfortunately, there are so many dysfunctional families, where children suffer from parental violence every day. This problem is quite relevant nowadays and the solution must be found as fast as possible. It’s important to notice, that many of us do not ...

Women in art have always been a very mysterious and intriguing object to observe, both from the perspective of women as an object and a subject for the painting. Mona Lisa is possibly the most recognized painting in the world. She still puzzles its every observer with her gaze and feeble smile, welcoming him to silent communication. Frida Kahlo is the world’s most recognized woman artist. However, she neither invites for silent conversation in her Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair, nor does she puzzle the observer. What Frida does, is pictures her soul openly and frankly, not hiding anything, not leaving ...

I visited Nizi Sushi Japanese Bar and Restaurant in Newark. The intention of this visit was to identify the Japanese culture food culture abroad. While a number of reviews about Japanese Restaurants in Japan show that they tend to specialize of a particular variety of food, I realized that the restaurant had a lot of foodstuffs to offer. Some critics assert that Japanese Restaurants abroad tend to serve a wide range of food, but maintains the Japanese culture (Ashkenazi, Jacob & Ashkenazi, 2013). Additionally, I needed to know the source of Japanese food here in Newark and the major population visiting these joints. Clearly, ...

I am a person who believes people easily. When I trust people, it comes from the core of my heart, no doubts, no suspicion, just a blind faith. And I guess that is what cost me huge. I have a friend; I would say a best friend. We have been together since childhood, same school, and same college. One can say we are inseparable. Our friendship used to be an example for others. For me he was my soul mate, we are of same sex, still I will call him that because I do believe we had a connection in the past. The ...

It’s not easy to know what is true for you or me

at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I’m what I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you: hear you, hear me---we two---you, me talk on this page. (I hear New York too.) Me---who?

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.

I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records---Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn’t make me NOT like the same things other folks like who are other races.

So will my page be colored that I write?

Business

Restatement of Problem The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort of ...

I haven’t made many public speeches or presentations before, and the time I got to make a presentation before the class came as a shock. I generally don’t talk much, but having no option to pull out, I had to dig deep to instigate myself to stand before the class and make the presentation that I ‘managed’ to contrive. I was nervous and this reflected in the way I began my presentation. My voice was feeble, and I just couldn’t put words in my mouth. However, knowing the consequences of my action, I began my presentation. I had ...

Shortly after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. As a result of real concerns over the security of the nation as well as more than a little mass hysteria over America’s vulnerability in the new age of global terror, the 342-page long USA PATRIOT Act, as it is popularly known, sailed through Congress a mere 45 days after the attacks with little debate or analysis but with broad bipartisan support. Indeed, in the Senate, the ...

On my opinion, the best definition of the gender performance is the manner in which somebody reacts or implements its intended purpose. Males and females within society are expected to have certain gender role. Women are expected to be caregivers, motherly, thoughtful, loving and tender. Males must show less emotions than women do and be strong, confident and sturdy. These are, I suppose, traditional gender roles in our society. So, gender is a socially constructed idea and people generally follow it. In the film Frozen we can see pure examples of real male and female characters. Anna is a positive female ...

The problem the writer talks about it basically related to the homeless people living in South Florida. It is a big deal that a place like Florida, which is in town set and where people from all corners come to live for having a better life actually does not have much facility to prove the homeless people and has ranked 3rd among the states with most homeless population! The livesof the homeless people are becoming tougher day by day. The writer has put up the reasons why homelessness really takes place. The essay starts by defining homelessness as a stage where a person does ...

Introduction

Since many kinds of sports are games, it is not surprising that examples from sports are often being used for illustration of classical problems from game theory, while game theory is, also may be applied to improve performance in sports (Chiaporri et al 12). Choice of direction of shots in tennis is often being used for understanding of mixed strategies, and, the other way around, mixed strategy have been used to explain how footballers might decide on where to spot the penalty kicks (and for goalkeepers – how to try to save them). At the same time, chess in itself ...

Introduction:

As information technologies evolved and became more important for business and home use, users demanded for ways of directly connecting to systems in different locations. From large internet service providers, operators of bulletin board systems, to businesses getting critical data to road warriors in a timely manner, remote system access and networks became critical services that administrators were required to provide. However, it was necessary to ensure that only authorized users could access the provider’s resources, they could only access the resources they needed, and the administrators could track the users’ activities and access time for purposes of ensuring ...

There are two men discussing a short story that they had previously read. These two people have different points of views; however both their opinions about the story are relevant.

The first man is named Trent, he believes in a functionalist society where everything does not just co-exist, they work well together. Along with this belief, he thinks that things happen for a reason; good or bad it is the will of fate. He is friends with another man named Trevor who is a realist, he ...

Introduction

Erie Railroad v Tompkins was a fairly simple case in which the Supreme Court was called upon to give an interpretation as to the application of state common law over federal common law in cases of diversity jurisdiction. In addition, the case is celebrated for its empowerment of the state common law as it clearly denied Congress the power to set federal common law, an action it perceived as unconstitutional.

Federal Court’s obligation to state court decisions prior to Erie Railroad v Tompkins

Before the decision in Erie, federal courts enjoyed the discretion as to whether to follow decisions from the state courts or not. Despite issues falling under diversity jurisdiction necessitating the ...

SOCRATES - GLAUCON AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

- What is media literacy? Discuss at least three ways consumers can become more media literate and the benefits or drawbacks of this. How would you describe your own media literacy and how has this helped or hindered you? Media literacy is the ability to have media access, comprehend the media and have an analytical approach to media’s content or message. It is about creating communication in several contexts (Potter, 2005). Being media literate means that we are able to make use of information or content shown through different medium and be able to analyze these data. ...

Culture is commonly defined as a composite, complex whole and this is signified in terms of art, belief, custom, knowledge, laws, morals, and any other capacities and ways which men acquire as members of society. I have been immersed into the American culture by way of travelling into Alabama as a foreign student. While this may sound strange, I chose the U.S. because it is a melting pot of various cultures. I know that other than exhibiting its own ways, it is also very much open to the other nations’ ways of lives. In terms of value, I believe there is ...

The Commonalities and Differences between Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and Guess Who

Two very famous films which have won the hearts of innumerable people across the globe are Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and Guess Who. Both the films address the issue of racism in the nation and delve deep into the dynamics of the society. While Kramer’s film makes one comprehend the intertwined thoughts in the psyche of the whites as well as the blacks back in the era of 60s, the remake presents the audience with a new take on the issue through the quintessential touch of humor.

Portraiture of Sahara Mediterranean cuisine

It was one afternoon that I decided to do and have lunch with my friend when I visited him where he lives. The sun was high up and the temperatures were crazily hot, with sweat dripping of our faces, it was a sure sign that summer was still there and yet the heat was to torment us reminding me of a reading that said burning like hell. Well in a way I said maybe this is hell on earth. As we entered the restaurant we were met by a mass of people come in and out like they were taking shifts. Some ...

Compare and Contrast Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and Guess Who

It was in the year 1967 when Stanley Kramer directed the socially relevant film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. He casted acting legends like Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracey, Sidney Poitier. The film delved deep into the racial issues which haunted the times, catered with a pinch of humor and drama. It was a time when social issues like misogyny and racial discrimination were being denounced through massive social movements. The film is an artistic expression in favor of equality and promotes conscientious thought through the story and the characters. The film portrays the story of John, a black doctor, and ...

The poem, Theme for English, by the eminent poet, Langston Hughes, gives the impression that it has been penned in a stream of consciousness and the readers readily connect with the speaker who goes on to describe his meandering thoughts and questions. The speaker in this poem is a young black person of 22 years who studies in an institution. In an age riddled with racism, this individual comes across as open-minded and intrepid enough to face the status quo. He stirs the heart of the readers with his challenging question and his courage of conviction looms large all through the ...

Introduction

The current escalation of computer attacks on the Internet has given engineers and computer network a run for their money and skills.

There are three basic aspects that cannot be ignored when addressing digital security. These include computer security principles, encryption and programming techniques used to achieve security. Digital security is all about information and systems security it’s majorly focused on protecting systems and the information they create, process, transmit and store. This clearly brings out the mostly ignored fact that information in motion is prone to attacks and therefore should be protected. Sniffing and snooping of network systems is a bitter reality that cannot be ignored. These are the main attacks that information in motion could be subjected to. In ...

Chapter 3: Methodology

3.1 Research Design “A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the business research project. It details the procedures necessary for obtaining the information needed to structure or solve business research problems.” (Green Field Online Research Center, 2009). Choosing the right research design depends on the topic at hand, and whether a hypothesis is available, initially or is to be deduced from the literature review and primary research itself. This research design approach has been carefully selected, in order to match the topic. Three in depth interviews have been conducted with experts on the topic, their expert opinions ...

In James Joyce's short story "The Dead," Gabriel Conroy, the main character, is depicted as an awkward, self-absorbed and pathetic man, constantly unsure of himself yet confident in his superiority over others. The short story sees him perpetually attempt to navigate social niceties and his relationship with his wife, always lacking the necessary information and awareness to conduct himself accordingly. Gabriel, throughout the poem, finds himself unable to communicate well with others (especially the religious) to the point where his personal relationships fail him. Gabriel himself is a bit of an antisocial misanthrope; he has difficulty relating to and ...

Morrison (1994) statement, “What I think the political correctness debate is really about the power to be able to define. The definers want the power to name. And the defined are now taking that power from them” holds true in a sense that being sensitive in using public statements is very important. It also refined the idea that power is related to saying politically correct terms. According to Max-Need’s classification of needs, “identity” is part of a category wherein people needs a sense of belongingness and self-esteem. People want to define their own identity as a person to be able to ...

On love

Love seems to have two aspects. There is such a thing as romantic love that spontaneously springs from a person’s inner depths. It is an attraction that one could have to particular person. As a result, one is willing to do anything for that person. One would only like to see that other person truly happy. On the other hand, there is another form of love. I would like to call it parental love. It is the kind of love that parents have for their children and that siblings have for each other. As with romantic love, the objective of ...

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 ...

The Reconciliation of Opposites

We should not forget that Not Without Laughter is, above all things, a bildungsroman (Schultz, p.44), and Hughes presents its protagonist, Sandy, growing up and developing, and slowly beginning to make sense of American society, of himself and of what he wants to do in life. As Sandy matures he is faced with various choices about how to live his life, and he becomes acutely aware of certain oppositions in the novel. Furthermore, Hughes himself presents further oppositions almost all of which stem from the racist society in which Sandy lives or, if they occur within the African American community ...

A brief analysis of CIA Triangle, threat and vulnerabilities, risk mitigation and legislations

Information security and data integrity is one of the major difficulties facing organizations of any scale. One of the frameworks used in analyzing security related problems and solutions are the CIA Triangle. However the constantly evolving threat environment has necessitated a more robust and intellectual method, that can address short comings effectively. Security threats and vulnerabilities are a challenge for organizations, both going hand in hand, with each threat corresponding to a particular vulnerability. Cyber crime legislations provide legal support for organizations in their endeavor for their information security. Cyber crime legislation is however a relatively new and developing field, and countries have ...

Interracial Relationships and Their Attitudes

In the 1991 Spike Lee film Jungle Fever, Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes) starts an affair with an Italian-American named Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra), and both encounter significant resistance from both sides of their family. In many ways, the basic plot is similar, if a bit seedier, than the 1967 Stanley Kramer drama Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, starring Sidney Poitier and Katherine Houghton as an interracial couple who focus on winning over her distrustful white parents. While both films deal with the complications of two people of different races starting a relationship, the outcomes and themes of the films are quite ...

For this assignment I decided to interview the mother of one of my good friends. Mrs. Elizabeth has been married to her husband Jake for 25 years and they have three children. I decided that interviewing her will be very interesting and useful because they have a rich experience of a successful marriage and can share a lot of important tips on how to keep everyone in the marriage happy even after 25 years.

Ok, so the first question I want to ask is probably the most general in the respect of marriage and I guess may be hard to answer. However, ...
