Strategic planning is essential to an organization because it helps the company evaluate some of its strengths, weaknesses, and objectives (Jackson 34). Food banks are important because they ensure that there is enough food for people who are in need.

Given that this is a non-governmental organization, the food bank relies for charity and philanthropists who buy food for the organization. This means that the organizations act as the distributor of food items in a given states so that people ...

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 emerging theories that may explain the probable cause or existence ...

Hunger is said to be the aspect of feeling the urge for food. Normally, when we feel hungry we simply go and find some food, eat it and that is that.

Gladiators refer to a group of armed combatants, who were used in entertaining audiences through violent confrontations in the Roman Empire.

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 idea of 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 can ...
