Contact Number: Personal Statement Throughout my professional career, many people have asked me the same question, “What motivates you?” My answer always begins in the same way, “When I was growing up, I never truly experienced childhood, or what most people would consider a ‘normal’ teenage life.” Through a series of compounded decisions by my family, at six years old, I started taking care of my younger brother and mother when it became apparent that she was mentally unstable and could not lead our family.

Masculinity is a set of qualities traditionally inherent to males. However, these features change through time. Some experts mentioned that the original idea suffered severely from the development of consumerism in 90s. Men were turned from the so called Caveman Masculinity to other behavioral patterns that would make them buy more goods. Levant and Kopecky are examples of authors who thought masculinity is in crisis. Like they mentioned in their book: “raised to believe that “real men” don’t feel fear, sadness or much of nay other emotions, we’re now told we should not only feel these emotions ...

Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment.

In the book, “The Behavior of Law” Donald Black tries to explain how the conduct of law is a social phenomenon. Black describes a general, quantitative and predictive theory that describes the various conditions within which law is applied or can be applied. Black argues that since law is a social phenomenon, it does not take into account the human nature concept. As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

Dear Jeny,

I feel extremely depressed and disturbed for not writing to you for ages. You know, you are the closest friend of mine and I did not manage to find a minute to write just a few lines to my little Jeny. Of course, it is quite absurdly to shift the blame on the circumstances, but still I was really very busy all this time. However, your last message urged me to put everything away for later and to compose this, somewhat appealing, letter. First of all, I want to offer my frank sympathies to you and Jack. I remember ...

Gone Baby Gone is a thriller movie that involves a working call neighborhood in Boston. However, it follows unhappily the footstep of two other crime movies in Boston, where it only depicts the famous characters as inherently unworthy and assumes their neighborhoods on one that involves a lot of crime scene in which everyone seems guilty of something since they all involve themselves in ‘ugly’ or ‘evil’ acts (Goldsmith 54). The adaptation involved in crime scene novels does the writing and makes the movie a typical hard-boiled motion picture to the point of being overcooked. For this reason, Gone ...

Article Review

Article Review I review such article as “Gender Flux: Transatlantic Influence on Fashioning the Cross-dresser in American Silent Cinema” by author Ricardo E. Zulueta. It has been published in the journal “The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture” in 2015. It should be noted, that until now, there is no single view of the nature of gender. On the one hand, gender is associated with the models, which are developed for the scientific description of the problems associated with gender issues. On the other hand, gender may be considered as a social phenomenon, which is created by people in ...

Music has a lot of emotional connection to our feelings and we relate it to our life journeys. Many of the songs we listen to reflects love and how it relates to our personal life.

My First Kiss

Everyone dreams of their first kiss and what it would be like, often practicing in the mirror or on our hand, longing for someone else’s sweet lips to touch our own and wonder what it would feel like when it happened. When I was 14, my parents sent me to my grandmother’s home on vacation. I remember, it was a hot summer. It was so hot that you could feel the sweat drip down your body and there was no means of air circulating. However, I felt the boredom kick in day after day ...

Before Sunset

A city is a natural habitation for people in the 21st century. People are born, they study, work and die in cities. A place, wherein people spend most of their time should be both multi-functional and convenient. Thus, city planning is of outmost importance for people to live in a comfortable and friendly environment. There have been numerous attempts to improve urban planning and to create a dream city. Some of such attempts remained to be theoretical developments only, while others were realized, for example, such utopian projects as Howard’s Garden Cities of Tomorrow or Le Corbusier’s ...

The use of cityscapes in cinema began in the mid-1920s with Berlin being the birth city of these new types of movies. Since then, cities have provided a production site as well as consumptions and distribution sites. The usage of cities in movies also assists in explaining different emerging issues within the modern urban society. Using cities as sites for shooting movies allows an understanding issues of the public sphere and social space (Mennel 32). Employing city landscape when shooting movies also help in promoting an understanding of modern aesthetics. Linklater’s movie Before Sunset tells a romantic story ...

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin

In Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” the author paints a rather effective picture of heartbreak. However, rather than showing the devastation of Louise Mallard’s devastation upon hearing news of her husband’s accidental death in the train wreck, Chopin takes an unexpected turn. As the reader experiences Louise’s shock at the news of her husband’s death one is led to believe that she is overwhelmed with shock and unable to comprehend the tragedy of becoming a widow. Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...

The short story depicts one hour from the life of Louise Mallard, but touches upon several serious themes that are still important in modern society. Louise Mallard is a young married woman, who gets informed that her husband has tragically died. In one hour she evolves from the grief and sorrow to realization of her joy of finally becoming free to be in charge of her own life. However, her happiness does not last long, as her husband appears ...

In his works, Chekhov paid great attention to the world of complicated, and often unpredictable actions of the human soul, especially to the feeling of love. Indeed, love is the greatest, lightest, and most beautiful feeling, but the 19th century imposed restrictions on it, thus making this form of passion legislated by only one marriage that took place in people's lives once and for all. As a result, love appeared to be just of the elements of a daily life. In Chekhov's times, it would be considered normal to have a marriage of convenience, however, a person that lives ...

As the culture and the techniques of advertising and exerting influence on human mind progress, we face more and more elaborate depictions and images of the human body. Jean Kilbourne's lecture presents a variety of them and gives some explicit comments. In the ads that surround ads, people age mainly shown either as unreachable idols or as things personifying some quality, concept, or even brand. While these depictions may seem to be genuinely different, in reality, they produce the same effect on the consumer. They dehumanize them, both the subject of objectification and the idol which is regarded only ...

Comparison of Themes of Marital and Romantic Relationships in Two Stories

The present age tends to dichotomise romance and family. Doris Lessing’s short story “To Room Nineteen” portrays a free-spirited Englishwoman who made the mistake of signing up for the life of a full-time housewife. Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” set in Spain, depicts the scepticism and xenophobia of a young woman whose American lover importunes for abortion. Both these women are disillusioned with romance with which they began. Susan Rawlings in Lessing’s story does not care for material security which her promiscuous husband provides.

Espada stresses the value of hope in life. From close analysis of the poem one can see that it is placed in context with the election of a new president of the United States of America. This candidate is peculiar in certain way. The president is the first African American to hold such a prestigious position since independence. Furthermore Espada pays homage to yet another peculiar figure called Frederick Douglas. From what can be inferred from the text is that Douglas was also an African American, though he lived many years before Obama was born. These are two icons ...

I was lying down on my bed after the day’s work while the soft music on my iPod soothed my ears. My room was the coziest of all the places in the world for me as I could be myself here. I was looking blankly at the Van Gogh painting replica on the wall, when I suddenly heard my mother cry out loudly. Her scream made me jump up from the bed in astonishment. I ran toward the door and came down the stairs. I rushed down to the kitchen and saw that she had fallen down on ...

Music – Song Critic

Introduction Greensleeves is amazingly a beautiful song sung by Loreena McKennitt. The song is from the album “The Visit”. The album was released in 1991. It is one of few most memorable songs for me. The song appeals thousands of music lovers like me for its ultimate romantic feelings. It’s a plea of a lover, who has been rejected by his beloved. I like this song because of its fine combination of romantic and melancholy note. The deep feelings of the lover are accompanied by the perpetual velvet voice of Loreena McKennitt. The way she sings, creates an ...

Franz Schubert wrote over 600 songs until his death in 1828 and possibly his greatest muse was the celebrated German poet and dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Although the two artists never shared a collaboration or even met they are linked forever by the masterworks that Schubert created which are still in overwhelming demand in performance around the world. Although the later song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Die Winterreise, are some of his best known works that show the composer at his peak creativity, I have chosen to analyze one of his earliest songs using a ...

As I sat in the back seat to my car, it was like all of my life was flashing before my eyes. My parent’s faces were the most dominating part of my daydream. I could imagine them smiling, and I could also imagine fear on their faces, and pride and disappointment. I had seen their expressions too many times to know the sentiment behind each and every emotion that played across their faces. That day, however, I saw them coming out of the five-bedroom house that I had inhabited until today, and I was out of guesses as ...

I woke up late that morning. I had an intense feeling of tiredness. In fact, it was one of those mornings when I felt like doing nothing. 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 ...

“The Moped Diaries” is one of those short films that can be appreciated loved by many different audiences. However, it is difficult for the audiences to say what they like about this film. To explain why this film is so popular is an even more difficult task as a description may not do it justice. While there are many elements about this film that make it so interesting, the fact that it is a bit on the quirky side. There is slight humor when there should not be such as when the entire family is looking at their motor ...

Moral Issues

The case raises the question of whether the companies’ policies on pregnancy and marriage amount to disparate treatment or intentional discrimination of some employees based on pregnancy, marriage, childbirth, and related medical/social impairments. Given that women in many societies bear the primary responsibility for child rearing, and are disproportionately more impaired by pregnancy, the requirement that they leave if they get pregnant may amount to sex-based discrimination. Ultimately, the policy may have a negative impact on the women’s labor force participation (even though this does not appear to be the case for these airlines). Lastly, the case raises ...

The importance of Culture in Business

The cultural value of any organizations tend to shape the core structure of different business aspects like those of its leadership style, change management approach, workplace diversity, business management etc. In all of the above-stated business concepts, culture values play the crucial role of defining the exact nature of business acumen that needs to be put in and it also shapes the consequent form of workplace environment for the business. In the coming segments, I will be discussing how the culture drives my perception of these business concepts.

Photography may seem like just clicking pictures of anything and everything. And that is exactly what the lay man perceives it to be. However what photography really is; is quite deep when one ponders the notion. Photography if were to be termed in one word, that word would be vision. We can label it as vision, or seeing or simply imagination, they all point towards the same thing, which is making a perception and mental image in your mind’s eye, then using your tool at hand (camera) to give that image a shape in a picture. Some people ...

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" (Canto 3). A truly scary and miserable place to be in. Exactly with this scripture begins Dante's journey towards the depth of Hell and ever farther. His way of finding out the truth about the human soul, the journey to learn the nature of sin, the nature of happiness, and the way to God. Genuine morality is bestowed upon Dante as he travels the dark realm of Hell and the nature of which will he explore. First of all, morality resides on the set of rules and instructions on how to behave ...

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 ...

Out of three parts of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the first part – Inferno is by far the most understandable and reasonable. Dante uses Hell to show and educate the readers his vision of morality. As an artistic technique, he depicts his own travel over the depths of Hell. He is led by Vergil, who explains all about those who are in Hell and what happens to them according to their sins. This, indeed, is a very powerful method to deliver the main idea to the reader, especially concerning that most of the readers perceive the poem literally but not ...

Richard C. Morais’ 2010 novel The Hundred-Foot Journey chronicles the tensions and relationships between the owners and purveyors of an Indian restaurant and a classic French restaurant that reside one hundred feet from one another in the fictional city of Lumiere in France.

Bridging the gap between the typically entrenched worlds of upper-class French food culture and the lower-class Southeast Asian food culture ...

Many people agree that the period of chivalry was probably the most interesting and fascinating. The word chivalry is mainly associated with knights and is usually described as institution of knighthood. It is also believed that chivalry presupposes such traits as courtesy, valor and generosity. It also presupposes helping the weak (such as women and children). It is clear that nowadays the concept of chivalry has become archaic. However, its examples may be still found in fiction and in modern life. For example, William Faulkner in his work “A Rose for Emily” and James Joyce in his work “Araby” ...

Nelson Mandela is one of the most recognizable symbols of the human rights movement in the XX century - a man whose devotion to the cause of freedom of his nation inspires human rights defenders around the world.
