Strategic planning is essential to an organization because it helps the company evaluate some of its strengths, weaknesses, and objectives (Jackson 34).

This means that the organizations act as the distributor of food items in a given states so ...

Gregor Mendel, a Moravian monk, carefully bred peas in separate breeding lines, crossing and backcrossing to watch how traits appeared in future generations. He found out that traits were transmitted to future generations from parent plants.

Oxford dictionary defines a theory as a set of principles based on generalizations that have been crystallized through a series of observations. It is a supposition that aims to explain an abstract concept wherein those generalizations made are independent of a particular thing that is being explained. In a scientific perspective, a theory serves as a skeleton in explaining observations and assumptions from a series of hypotheses that can be tested. An individual is referred as a theorist when he or she develops theories. Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution is one classic example. To date, there are also various ...

Gladiators refer to a group of armed combatants, who were used in entertaining audiences through violent confrontations in the Roman Empire. The gladiators confronted with wild animals, condemned criminals, and other gladiators. Just like the ‘Hunger Games’, it hard to explain the reason as to why a civilized country could enjoy watching human beings fight to the death.

Gary Ross' 2012 adaptation of the young adult dystopian novel The Hunger Games was an effective, if somewhat uneven, film anchored by strong performances and interesting ideas. The tale of young tribute Katniss Everdeen, who is forced into a state-sanctioned spectator sport where she must kill her fellow teenagers for the entertainment of the Capitol, is given a bleak and stylized look, fleshing out the world of the film while often shying away from real violence and issues where it counts. The sense of isolation that the protagonist feels is not unlike Foucaultian Panopticonism: Foucault came up with the ...

Hunger, a popular novel by Knut Hamsun, is indeed unwittingly about hunger. What made it controversial were the idiosyncrasies, thoughts that are often one-sided, and the abandonment and depreciation of the author on some of the basic ideologies that other authors in his era so loved, among others. There are simply a lot of things about Hamsun’s Hunger that one cannot afford to miss, not just because of its peculiarity or extraordinary characteristics, if not weird at all, but also because of the moving and entertaining features.
Perhaps from some readers’ point of view, the story in itself ...

The dystopian fantasy “The Hunger Games” presents intriguing sexual dynamics. The characters are multi-faceted and display uncharacteristic gender traits. “The Hunger Games” blurs the line between what is considered masculine and feminine in terms of relationships. By exploring the relationships that form within “The Hunger Games” I propose that we can better analyze social trends regarding gender and sexuality. By looking at examples of gender role reversal in “The Hunger Games”, such as Peeta’s affinity to baking or Katniss’ for hunting, one may discern that traditional gender roles are not as important in a relationship as many may ...

Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games (2008) bear striking resemblances to each other. Both novels are set in an apocalyptic dystopian future; both novels use modern advances in the media as a central part of their plot; and both could be argued, in a way, to address the issues of male/female relationships. They are linked too by critical confusion over their genre. Are they both science fiction novels? Are they fantasies? Are they informed predictions of the fate of humanity? Atwood has always been adamant that her earlier novel The Handmaid’s ...
