It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine. In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

Part 1: Summary

Currently, human activities have increased the rate of species’ extinction. It is, however, difficult to predict the actual rate. Skeptics point out that some predictions in the past have failed to produce the magnitude of the forecast extinctions. Various ecologists use the species-area relationship (SAR) to predict the extinction rates associated with habitat loss (Rybicki and Hanski). The SAR works on the principle that the number of species in a given location increases as the size of the habitat area enlarges. In backward SAR, the reduction in habitat area decreases the species’ number. Though successful in some estimates, the assumption ...

The history of glass can be traced back to 3500 BC in Mesopotamia and the first jar made of glass was made in 3000BC.

Indigenous production of glass progressed commercially in 1730 BC, and in Ancient China took out late as compared to metalwork and ceramics. It later took a giant production root that saw it to become among the leading ...

For the purpose of my project, I decided on living ‘mirror-free’ for at least four days. After many hours of thinking, I decided upon a mirror as the item for my project. As the world is advancing, we are becoming more and more technology-dependent. Almost everyone dreads the prospect of living without internet or cell phone for more than a few hours at the very most. However, no matter how much we advance in technology, there are some things in life that are extremely essential to provide us with the inner worth that makes us keep going forward. We find ...

The debate between Nature and Nurture within psychology is a great concern to a large extent, particularly in regards to the extent to which selected aspects of behavior are a product of either acquired (learned characteristics) or inherited (genetic). All aspects of human behavior are in one way or another affected by both nurture and nature (N & N). To start with, it is coherent to first differentiate the two terms; Nurture is a term that refers to all environmental influences after conception which in this case could be an experience, while Nature basically is that which is generic or inherited (Hockenbury, 2011, ...

Introduction:

The word Renaissance literally means rebirth and it refers to how this era seemed to spring from the earlier Dark and Middle Ages with renewed spirit and restored interest in the classical Greek and Roman Civilizations.

The Middle Ages were a time of turmoil that emerged from the fragmented society that survived the fall of the Roman Empire and ended with the birth of the Renaissance. It roughly encompasses the start if the second millennium and runs ...

It was almost 4 o’clock! I thought I was holding my keys but I wasted more than enough time fishing them out of my bag. Quickly I locked my front door, swung the bag over my shoulder and power-walked with my car keys tight in my fist.

My perfect car was rear-ended by some idiot who drove right into my fender! Are you kidding me! Seriously? It was parked! My ...

Summary

Preparation is the key to building the necessary confidence for speechmaking. While most people fear public speaking, if you are prepared, you will feel much better about getting up in front of an audience. Get a sense of what you look like, but not in a mirror – it won’t give you a realistic sense of what you are like as a speaker; instead, film yourself, and go before smaller groups of people and use their opinions to help you improve.

Working in teams can be highly effective, because they allow people with different skill sets to combine their strengths and counteract ...

A thunderous ringing noise roused the somnolent house on Maple Street, number 92, lulled in soporific breeze of the autumn night. A corpulent, pale yellow fingered hand picked up the receiver of an obsolescent, antiquated phone, the noise of which perforated the bucolically alveolated inside of the house. “Yes?” A raucous and slightly hoarse voice breathed languidly. “Detective Davidson? It’s lieutenant Kowalsky… I apologize for calling this early, but we need you over at the high school… there’s been a murder,” the voice was cacophonous and discombobulated. “I’ll be right there,” Maximilian ...

Abstract

Accidents are an inevitable element of the air carriage industry; however, a good number of these could have been avoided given proper human resource management efforts. The task of these specialists is to recruit, to train, and to evaluate industry employees like pilots.

Owing to HR specialists’ miscalculations, pilots with insufficient qualification, those willing to ignore the guidelines of dispatchers and act carelessly received their coveted positions. The liberalization of workplace regulations did the industry an ill favor allowing individuals ...

Introduction

The American healthcare system is the most expensive in the world as indicated by mirror reports in 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004 (Davis, Stremikis, Squires & Schoen, 2014, p. 7). According to Bhattacharya & Hyde, (2013, p. 251), by 1960, America’s expenditure on healthcare was low to an extent that it could only spend a twentieth of her Gross Domestic Product on healthcare costs. The U.S. ranks the first in term of cost related problems since the price elasticity of healthcare services in America is relatively elastic. Considering that many people are price sensitive, they opt for alternative care other than ...

In May 29, 2010, Michelle Roberts from BBC reported the connection between schizophrenia and creativity. In her article, she argued that creative minds ‘mimic schizophrenia.’ Supporting her article, British psychologist Mark Millard reiterated that “Creative people, like those with psychotic illnesses, tend to see the world differently to most. It's like looking at a shattered mirror” (Roberts, “Creative Minds Mimic Schizophrenia”). Another article from the Scientific American written by Scott Barry Kaufmann, director of the Imagination Institute at the University of Pennsylvania also tackled the nexus about Dali’s eccentric personality to the people suffering from schizophrenia. As a carte blanche, ...

ABSTRACT

There are a number of important benefits that can be gleaned for humanity as a whole if production processes could be moved to space.

INTRODUCTION

What we look like matters. Most people would like to think that we, as a species, are not so shallow, but the reality is that we are. We judge, criticize, and determine the value of many people based on their physical presentation, their hair, skin, height and, very often, their weight. This can send a message to the younger generations that your appearance is equated to the level of acceptance they may receive from peers. While such things, like bullying, can affect both young boys and young girls alike; girls are more likely to take those criticisms so deeply that they ...

BUSINESS LAW

PART A 1. A contract refers to an agreement or a promise that is legally enforceable (Carter, 2006). In most cases, two parties are involved in making the agreement. For an agreement to be considered to be a contract, it must have some basic elements. The first basic element of a simple contract is offer (Allan and Hiscok). In general, terms, offer is the willingness that a party to the contract may express to certain terms of the contract. The offer is mostly made with the intention that the agreement immediately becomes binding after the offer has been accepted by the offeree ( ...

In Susan Hayward’s summary of David Bordwell in “Classical Hollywood Cinema,” the author relates how the dominant ideology of American culture in the 1930s and 1940s was often conveyed in the films of the era. This particular genre of film follows a narrative tendency towards literalism and dramatic formula over nuance and complexity: “The narrative of [classical Hollywood cinema] reposes upon the triad ‘order/disorder/order-restored,’ also known as disruption/resolution” (Hayward 82). Through these styles of filmmaking, a consistent, accessible reality is created in which to impart the dominant ideology of the time. In the case of The Best Years of Our ...

Early cinema was interestingly preoccupied with race; many of the great early films, for better or worse, addressed the conflict that occurred between people of different ethnicities, and their relationship to the greater whole of society. D.W. Griffith’s controversial The Birth of a Nation and Alan Crosland’s The Jazz Singer were no exceptions; both have problematic depictions of African-Americans, but while The Birth of a Nation provides no subversion to its unironic endorsement of the KKK, The Jazz Singer manages to use its depiction of blackface as a greater metaphor for the shirking of one’s cultural heritage for the ...

In the Book X of „The Republic“, Plato asks Socrates to explain why philosophy and poetry are opposed. They seem to be on different sides of the same issue. According to Plato, philosophy teaches people the way they should conduct their lives and how to be moral and poetry and art, such as painting, only corrupts people. Plato believes that art „is at the third remove from reality, nothing more than semblances, easy to produce with no knowledge of the truth“ (Plato, 2011, p. 25). Philosophers offer „moral and religious guides to the conduct of life“ (Plato, 2011, ...

Oscar Wilde said, “Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” This punishment that Oscar Wilde speaks of us is what makes self-actualization an incomparably rewarding but also increasingly lonely path. But the gift of fulfillment, wonder, and delight that it offers keeps us going, keeps us evolving towards a higher consciousness. Dreaming is an entryway into that endless field of energy. Modern day dysfunction undercuts the spiritual aspect of existence with its focus on the material ...

Rather than an unfolding, sanitized look at America’s historical past leading to its present in terms of ethnic diversity, Takaki takes the reader on a mini lecture-tour across time. In the chapter discussion he re-routes the audience to consider that the ideals and decisions of the U.S. forefathers (i.e. Thomas Jefferson) held the initial power and responsibility to establish the tone, power structure and belief of what evolved to become ‘American’ culture. Takaki agrees that the “narrow” focus “widely shared” is a generally accepted sense that an ‘American’ is a so-called designated ‘white’ person having descended from an Anglo Europe. The ...

A picture is worth a thousand words, definitely pictures can express human thoughts, emotions and dreams that can never be uttered by the lips. Back then, people can record physical appearance and historical events through paintings. On the other hand, a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce took the first permanent photograph in 1827 (Madgwick, 28). Photography made it easier for people to record history without resorting to paint the entire scenery that they see. Rich men and women, especially those who belong to the aristocracy choose photography for their personal portraits; adding a touch of modernism to their noble countenance. In short, the ...

Scholars and acolytes of Gertrude Stein prefer to refer to her as "The Mother of Us All" as the attribution of her last dramaturgical opera inspired by the figure of the American feminist Susan B. Anthony. This definition would suggest a bond of deferential respect and intimate cultural affiliation by certain groups of writers and critics positioned on the edge of the traditional culture. All these scholars were gathered around Gertrude Stein as around a true pioneer of feminism and gender studies. The linguistic revolution that took place in hers works was astonishing and impressed all of them. She was a giant, a ...

Communication is a very important tool for our everyday life. The human race, since the days when no language had developed, knew the significance of communication. They used it to pass important information about their culture using wall drawings and to this day, we can use those wall drawings to visualize their lives.

Authors employ different themes and symbolism to bring out ideologies and to capture our imagination. This paper will focus on the themes from a variety of novels and see ...
