But, it was the beginning of the day and as much as I would have loved to stay in bed I knew I had to get up. I reached for my lifesaver. I needed it to open my eyes fully and drag myself out of bed. And yes, it worked as usual. My morning coffee was always there to help me to start a new day. The freshness of that glorious coffee ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Emily Dickinson is an original poet as she used her pen to challenge the existing conventions of poetry. Throughout her poems, Emily clearly experimented with a style of expression that moved away from the traditional styles of poetry and took on a unique style that made her speakers sharp-sighted observers who face the challenges of no escape from their societies. Additionally, Dickenson used her poems as a sword that would serve to liberate the speakers from the inescapable boundaries of the society. Clearly, Dickenson wrote poems that broke away from the traditional rules of poetry which challenged the narrow-minded ...

The left-wing candidates always accuse the media of being controlled by the right wing, while the right wing candidates like to say that the left wing is mostly in control of the government.

Political campaigns are often shaped by those who are ready or willing to interact with the political candidate, and presidential debates and campaigning is quite important for success ...

When discussing the hypothetical situation of a Chinese telecommunications company seeking to acquire a US communications company with telecom wires throughout the US and significant information and access to resources important to national security, a number of factors need to be considered. In order to allow the acquisition to take place, the Department of Homeland Security would need to take on a number of tasks, including securing any classified or sensitive information and preventing the Chinese government from being able to access it. As a nonstate actor, it is difficult to regulate the behavior and access of a US ...

In the article by Randy L. Mitchell entitled “Emanation and Generation,” the author discusses the differences about caring about students and caring for students and what that looks like from the role as a teacher in an institution of higher learning.

However, being too hands-on as an educator can leave students without the tools to be independent when using the skills that they have been taught. It is not uncommon for students to leave their learning settings after being cared for makes it hard ...

However, in many more important ways, Edwards’ own perspective on God in this sermon solidified the Age of Enlightenment’s assertion ...

Slavery did not end in America following President Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of Emancipation more than 150 years ago. In fact, even after the civil war that was meant for freeing the Black Americans ended, the African Americans were treated as forced laborers, particularly in the southern states, until the beginning of the Second World War. Sadly, the lives of the human beings who had to undergo torture and worst treatment in the hands of the White Americans were in all respects equal to that of their torturers; their valuable and complex lives were torn apart by the injustice ...

Science fiction, regardless of its medium, is often thought to be a means of projecting our ideas of the future – what it could be, what it might become, how it should be, and so on. This is often demonstrated in the utopian and dystopian genres of SF, in which future societies, either good or bad, are showcased in order to explore sociological and philosophical ideas about humanity and society. As Jameson notes, this kind of future projection and prediction can be complicated to express, as semiotics and symbolism grants us the ability to investigate those ideas in more abstract ...

In his article “Revenge of the Nerds”, Steven Pinkler analyzes how and why humans, of all the animals on the planet, evolved on the cognitive niche and became the dominant species. His main claim is that human ancestors’ particular characteristics, namely visual orientation, social living, particular hand development, and hunting, made them more apt to evolve causal reasoning than any other animal on the planet. The article is clearly organized and structured in order to create a strong argument in favor of his thesis. He bases his claims on different types of evidence which try to prove not only ...

In the United States, 33% of the organizations in the S&P 500 are owned and controlled by the establishing family, and family firms represent 80-90% of the organizations in the private sector. There can be most likely families that assume a critical part in the landscape of advanced business. On the other hand, since numerous individuals have suppositions about how families work, they frequently have presumptions about how family organizations fill in also (Adams, Taschian, & Shore, 1996).One focal presumption rotates around the idea of development - ...

Her hands shook, each finger twitching in a frenzied and broken rhythm that no one could have possibly understood. That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...

Introduction: Smartphones and computer tablets are commonplace among nursing students, nurses, physicians and other healthcare providers. It has made communication less complicated and replaced other outdated communication technologies. A significant proportion of U.S population uses smartphones. People rarely think about its ethical and legal implications. Many healthcare providers have policies that enable the protection of their client and practices from harms caused by the use of these devices. (Thomas, McIntosh and Edwards, 2013) The scenario about the leak of a celebrity photo, through the smartphone of a hospital staff, that was presented in the classroom, is an example of ...

In his article “Revenge of the Nerds”, Steven Pinkler’s main argument is that human ancestors’ particular habits made them more apt to evolve causal reasoning. He argues this through four reasons. First, that primates are visual animals. “In monkeys such as the rhesus macaque, half of the brain is dedicated to sight” (Pinkler 191). Furthermore, he also references the early development of stereoscopic perception and color vision, which allowed them to amplify their diet. These characteristics serve as warrants because they allowed primates to see the world in terms of objects that move through space. Furthermore, it led ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

For many years, back to biblical times and before, women had no semblance of reproductive rights. Reproducing, and raising children seemed to be the roles women fell into, while men hunted for food, and later worked, for the family’s survival. As a result, women were at a disadvantage to decide what they wanted out of life. Distracted by the many demands of raising children, as well as the stress of being overworked themselves had little time to focus on anything else. Margaret Sanger began to learn of these differences between men and women, as well as the poor ...

“Really old man,” sneered the young, brash leader of the invaders, “Did you think it could end any other way?”

A slow grin crept upon his face as the smell of salt air entered his nostrils, the gray sands beneath his feet shifting ever so slightly as the breeze blew by, caressing his weathered features. He could almost smell the worn leather worn by the leader of the invading force, the cold steel that he now held in his hands, and of course the crimson stains that had already been spread upon the shadowed coastline.

“I trained a young man to roar like a lion, not to slither back like a snake.”

That hit a nerve as the younger, more able-bodied man reddened like a tomato on the vine. This one had always walked a fine ...

Selfishness is a quality that is found deep within us all, regardless of whether or not we acknowledge it. Buried deep within, selfishness oozes out from our dark side. Individuals are actually disposed to coordinate with one another, to address their own issue and goals. People who tend to be egotistical are coordinative to reach the desire that they need and crave. In order to reach their goal, we will do whatever it takes to utilize every material and individual around us for our own success not thinking twice about the effect it has on others. People who are

International business is a complex ecosystem. As enterprises of all size and activity engage in business dealings on a regular basis, differential modes of interaction emerge. Notably, cross-cultural communication is becoming increasingly a mandate for performing business functions not only locally and abroad. Accordingly, competencies for cross-cultural interactions become a requirement for successful business. This applies, more specifically, to staff who is assigned internally for short or long business positions. True, international business has been a staple of human activity for millennia. However, current business ecosystem departs radically from conventional business practices. Characteristically, current business is more overlapping and ...

There is a natural ebb and flow of people. People stand in a slow moving river that flows with time. Like a busy cafeteria, there is an upbeat hustle and bustle here and there, to and fro. This place is not a destination for many them, it is merely a stop-off to somewhere else. Inside a Starbucks coffee outlet are smells of different brews being made for customers. The place has an earthy feel because there are dark, wooded colors. Some people come and order their coffee and then they quickly leave to wherever they are going. For some ...

Racism is discriminating a person basing on the color of the skin or the country where he is coming from. Understanding the concepts and fighting to eliminate it should be our daily activity. The fact is, it is difficult to trace its origin. The university that is a center of integrations has people from various countries, and most of them are international students, and they come from diverse communities. The major theme that is suitable for discussion here according to my point of view is racism. The topic sounds good because understanding the concepts of racism will help these ...

The citizens of the United States are usually sensitive when it comes to the issue of coercive power from the government as well as a semblance of despotism. Power in addition to authority is considered crucial concepts when it comes political order and given the fact that the police are the custodians of political power, they at times use force as a way of controlling behavior injurious to society.

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

Question 1: Gramsci: Some Preliminary Points of Reference

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

Reflection Paper

One of the most important concepts I have learnt in this course is about mate selection. The concept is important because acts like the foundation of a marriage (J. H. Lauer & J. C. Lauer, 2009). Every person has a responsibility to choose the person he or she would like to marry. With the changing trend, the choose of partner is no longer in the hands parents or other close relatives as it was in the olden days, but it is left in the hands of young people who are inexperienced in the area. Unfortunately, instead of choosing life partners based on ...

The security of schools is a major priority for the administrative personnel in such institutions. As such, they are likely to employ different methods to strengthen the security situation in schools. One of the methods, which are likely, is that of arming the school staff with guns.
