Humans can seek pattern and regularities in the flow of nature, but any ‘laws’ thus detected results from human conception, a way of organizing our experiences, and does not represent the underlying basis of the phenomena being observed (Stevenson, 2000). Eastern philosophy maintains that there is a possibility of a deeper understanding of reality that is normally available in daily experiences. According the Western philosophy, the process of thinking involves moving away from reality to the world of symbols, and an irretrievable difference lies between symbols and its ...

Milton in his widely read work “Paradise Lost” develops his character Satan differently than many of the traditional portrayals of him in the Bible.

In the bible, Satan’s lot is clearly cast, he is the enemy of God, the enemy of humanity, and is pure evil. In the New Testament, Jesus says about Satan, “He that committeth sin ...

Apparent from the picture is the fact that there is a greater bond between women and children essentially because children are seen to stay ...

In general, the residual income model makes no assumptions relating to the future earnings and earnings growth. However, if we assume a constant growth and dividend growth, a residual income model can be derived that efficiently illustrates the fundamental drivers of the residual income. Thus, under such assumptions, a fundamental based equation for justified Price/Book Value which can be derived will be: Po/Bo= 1+ (ROE- g)/(r-g) Interestingly, since the justified price is equivalent to stock’s intrinsic value, we can re-arrange the above equation to find the intrinsic value of the stock. For Instance, since Po= Vo, we ...

Naturally, some of the writers of the time used this as material for their works. Additionally, these writers, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Georgia Douglas Johnson used symbolism to make their points much more poignant. These writers used symbols such as doors and monsters to represent ...

Most chicken farms are being subsidized by giant food companies. These farmhouses chickens in a tightly cramped space ...

In my reading of Niedecker’s Poems, her use of sounds manifests largely in almost all parts of her literary work. In this regard, she makes of use of sound devices such as repetition, assonance, alliteration, consonance, rhyme, Onomatopoeia and Idiophones. It is significant to note that, it is due to the effect of these devices that my reading is enhanced as follows; Niedecker’s poems are rich in repetition. More than often, I find that she constantly repeats some statements or special words. In essence, the repetition gives the text a lyrical lilt. As a result, I find myself ...

Review The concert I attended was at Madison Square Garden, New York. Time proved to be an elastic aspect on a Grateful Dead stage. The ending of the song happened after every possibility set in the structure and organized by the group's improvising empathy was tested and fulfilled simultaneously. One of the participants, Lesh, gave a good thought of the 31-minute stretching in a vocal charm. The escalating instrumental break was a glorious connected fury consisting of five voices racing in parallel and jamming, as well. The long roll of the music composition was a good evidence of the rapidly advancing idea evident in ...

The new woman is portrayed as different from the True Woman who was very domestic and saintly. One thing that stands out about the New Woman is the fact she recognized her rights and therefore became autonomous.

A couple of poems show how these women sought to stand out from the crowd and prove that they were on the same platform if not better than that of men ( ...

Cities have undergone through so much revolution and implication of such changes to interest groups is profound. Cities continue to house a large number of poor populations while large cities in United States such as Detroit continue to lose population. The more people move to urban centres looking for jobs and better standards of living, the more urban population rise leading to urban growth. The value of property also increases and as a result, suburbs and exurbs grow at a faster pace(Sieverts, 2003 p. 84).
