Essays on Interpretation

Human body is made of senses that humans use in everyday activities to determine perception of data and hence make decisions. The perception has several reasons that help the humans to belief in the accuracy and inaccuracy of the perceived data. There are five reasons of believing in the accuracy of the data. These include, touch, and smell, hearing, taste, and sight.

5.0 Methodology
5.1 Research Philosophy
“As suggested by Remenyi et al. (1998), there are several major questions that require significant consideration by researchers such as „How to research?‟ and „What to research?‟ But central to the researcher‟s answers is their perspective on „Why research?‟
This refers to the systematic search for knowledge, existence, and reasoning. It involves an establishment of facts to both new and existing knowledge and behaviour. Research philosophies are aimed at addressing the objectives of a study rather than the research methodology itself. Whatever research philosophy you select, it will begin with certain assumptions. These Continue reading...

According to Hillman, Pictorial or wordless books contain pictures and pure illustrations in a volume that illustrates it all; “tell it all”. However, certain wordless books have minimal wording and labels. Others have phrases and single sentences alongside the illustrations (Hillman, 2010). These books comprise all genes; fiction, poetry, fantasy, biography and nonfiction. Such is a sample of books fellow learners, and I used to aid our understanding of the content of what is taught by the teacher (Wendy, Janice, Amy & Abigail, 2011). We actively participated and fully concentrated on what was taught by our teacher through graphical representations Continue reading...

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 aim at improving the health status of the population by increasing insurance coverage. It is a vibrant healthcare reform but contains controversial provisions as it expects citizens to pay uphold the insurance cover or face stiff penalty. I discussed the constitutionality of the Act by analyzing specific decisions made in courts of law. I found that the Congress overstepped its mandate and activated “inactivity,” forcing citizens to purchase insurance. The Supreme Court will conduct an assessment on the act and settle on a final ruling that is vital in Continue reading...

1. What is the role of congress in policy making process?
A policy is defined as a course of action that is established by the legislature, executive or the judiciary to influence the behaviors and decisions of the citizens in a federal state. Policy making process is not a monopolized affair and, therefore, involves decisive interactions among all arms of the government and the public participation. The congress and the President participate mutually in the legislative roles to a greater extent. However, their roles are made distinct at some point. The Congress is mandated in Law making, representation of Continue reading...

Analysis of an Artwork

Pop Art is probably one of the most intriguing and interesting elements in today’s age. Several artists initiated this genre in the late 1950’s and the 1960’s but none was more prominent than Andy Warhol. Although there have been several critics who have criticized his work as being without any form or sense of direction, posterity has shown otherwise. Works of art such as ‘Telephone’, ‘Marilyn Monroe’ and other pieces have fetched tens of millions of dollars as wealthy collectors have paid huge sums of money to acquire these iconic works. ‘Telephone’ is one such work, Continue reading...

When analysing the book of Ephesians, it is normally imperative for one to consider learning the case usage on its various lexical semantics of verbs rather than using cases and functions. Based on this notion, approaching the exegetical perspective of Ephesians using semantic roles rather than the use of case categories helps the scholar to be able to focus further on the idea of the clauses more than on the individual ones. The book of Ephesians is one of Paul’s works that clearly demonstrates his motives towards how the relationship between Christians, God and the church out to Continue reading...

Research regulation in the United States and Canada should be done so as to put down laws regulating both public and privately sponsored medical research with human subjects. Such regulations should help limit violation of human rights in research and at the same time giving researchers the jurisdiction to carry out their work within the law.Research guarantees a better tomorrow, however, most researchers have continuously ignored their subject's well-being ignoring the society that funds the research. The thirst to get results have made researchers forget basics in ethics while dealing with human subjects. The STD Research in Guatemala report Continue reading...

Introduction

Conceptual mapping is a graphical representation of concepts or ideas and the relationship between them. The concepts are represented as vertices of a graph while the relationship between them is represented by edges which may be directional or unidirectional depending on the relationship between the concepts. Conceptual mapping can be thought of as theory-building process because it explores the relationship between various concepts such as causes and effects. In this easy, the works of various authors are analyzed in view of conceptual mapping as a theory-building process.

Introduction

9/11 is the expression that has been dedicated to the 2001 terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda that the United States suffered from on September 11.

The film, The Best Years of Our Lives highlights cultural artifacts for the establishment of the social identity in the transnational society.

Erving Hoffman (1922-1982) embodied in the sociological theory of Shakespeare's verse:

"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts" (Shakespeare)
Socio dramatic approach is a version of symbolic interactionism. E. Hoffman understood social "I" as the property is not an actor, but as the product of theatrical interaction between performers and audience. As well as in the theater, in the social life are important suits in which we play a role, scene props, scenery. However, the main role, of course belongs to our partners on the stage and the audience. Continue reading...

As early as Biblical times, dreams have been given a special place; in ancient Egypt, Joseph’s interpretation of pharaoh’s dreams had awarded him an honorary place among his advisors, and was said to have saved Egypt from starvation.
Working with dreams in therapy implies a belief that that dreams are meaningful and provide added value to the therapeutic process. Studies have shown that dreams can be influenced by a certain psychopathology, and that their content and patterns (e.g. recurring dreams, nightmares) reflect a person’s wellbeing (Pesant & Zadra, 2004).

The Nature of Dreams

Dreams can be defined as “hallucinatory subjective experiences” Continue reading...

Islam and Democracy

Introduction
The literature that has been written about Islam and democracy are both highly complicated in terms of interpretation of the fundamentals of democracy and are in an equal sense argued from several points of reference. These factors are compelling and are significant to the level of democracy in the Islamic world. The comparative debate presented in arguments by Irfan Ahmad and Bernard Lewis creates major literature that reveals the limitations in this path of inquiry. The main proposition in their argument is the discussion of the cliché aspect that surrounds Islam and their objective levels. The core metrics Continue reading...

The period during which John Calvin lived and influenced his followers was 16th century France – the height of the Protestant Reformation. During this time, Martin Luther and other radical thinkers chose to break away from the Catholic Church due to differences in interpretation of Christian dogma, including the healing power of indulgences (which were believed to simply be an effective bribe for the Catholic Church to achieve absolution). Independent of the development of the Protestant Church, however, was John Calvin’s work to create a system of ideology which would be called Calvinism.
