Even if Macbeth and the Tell-Tale Heart, penned by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe respectively, were written centuries apart, it’s the common theme of guilt expressed so well in the latter that helps us imagine Lady Macbeth’s state of mind (Deighton). In particular, it is the pangs of guilt that she suffers from throughout the play after coercing her husband to commit regicide - to kill King Duncan - who consider Macbeth to be an ally and friend. In the Tell-Tale Heart, the killer suffers from delusions after committing the deed in killing the old man and ...

Pharmacist carefulness can help in identifying and saving lives of many prescribed drug abusers. It is important for pharmacists to use commonsense when selling prescribed drugs because general signs like nervousness or a potential drug cocktail are red flags used to identify drug abusers. Pharmacists have corresponding responsibility in regard to prescribed drugs and the government expects them to avoid negligence in carrying out their duties. Thus, pharmacists have legal responsibility just like doctors and other state agencies in stopping abuse of prescribed drugs.

How do the gods interact with each other in the council scene of Book 1? What reasons do they give for their actions towards humans? The gods are respectful towards each other. They speak in turns and determine the fates of human beings. However, sometimes they disagree in opinion as in the case of Poseidon disagreeing with the other gods concerning Odysseus. The gods expect human beings to obey them, and failure to do so results in punishment to the human beings. The gods make the rules of the land and expect human beings to abide by these rules.

Down syndrome was said to be the first intellectual disability syndrome and, at the same time, the most common form of genetic intellectual disability. People started to become aware of this syndrome when Esquirol (1845) wrote about it, although it was Down (1887) who first created an accurate description of the said syndrome (Scorza et al., 2011, p.719). It is one of the most common congenital chromosome anomaly, in which there happens to be “one extra copy of chromosome 21 in cells in the body” (Down Syndrome Ireland, 2013, p.3). This irregularity may thus, affect the physical and intellectual ...

He dedicated his book to the Canadian, Australian and German soldier that died in the woods near Amiens in 1918.

But certain reasons can be speculated that fit well with Harrison’s writing. Harrison hated war and realized that soldiers are mere pawns in wars that do not even understand ...

Woman. One of the greatest creations of God's will or what your religion says. However, it still does not matter at all what is written in your sanctuary book. You just can not argue with that.

As such, one can look into specific texts that embody this passion of subversive attitude. The paper aims to explore the potential of the form of ...

Psychological studies conducted in the last fifty years have found that social isolation has a profound negative affect on people. This is because humans by nature are social creatures, who need and thrive of off physical and emotional connections. This is one reason that that isolation is used by prisons and in torture as the separation is expected to make the person more likely to conform to expectation. Many people who have been socially isolated for long periods of time begin to experience negative effects such as, hallucinations, high blood pressure, increase in illness, verbal and rational reasoning skills ...

An analysis of the problems associated with the word "Troll" require a study of the words etymology in relation to its origin and the way in which it has evolved and developed throughout the years.

However, trolls do differ in their nature from the various countries, meaning ...

1. The term dystopia refers to an imaginary place where people suffer from all kinds of dehumanization, pain, torture, oppression, and diseases while they have a feeling of unhappiness and unpleasantness regarding themselves being unfairly treated in the overcrowded surroundings.

Attachment Theory

John Bowlby developed the attachment theory and was it to describe attachment as, “a lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Cherry, 2016). Attachment theory is focused on the bonds and relationships between people, especially long-term relationships that include relationships such as parent-child and romantic partners.

Analysis of issues about “Family” from four poems

Family as such comes forth as what is commonly known as nuclear family according to Moran. The poet is honest to appreciate God for creating families from simple union of two people in marriage. “ ...

In this paper, the author analyzes the poem Love the Wild Swan by Robinson Jeffers.

Expressionism is referred as a modernist form of art that was initially introduced in Germany during the early part of the 20th century. The main feature of this art is to present a subjective perspective by altering its elements to stimulate emotional impact which eventually leads to conjuring certain moods and perception. There was the conviction that artists have the ability to express some form of inner awareness through their works of art, and this notion has been prevalent among artist and intellectuals in Germany in early twentieth century (Perry, 1993). In due course, the expressionist considered looking for ...

According to Pojman (2006), hedonistic utilitarianism is one of the major perspectives of the general notion of utilitarianism. In order to understand its essence, it is imperative to discuss the underlying meaning of utilitarianism as advanced by Pojman (2006) who indicates that it is pegged on the end results rather than the process or means an act is performed, and which is responsible for causing maximum satisfaction to the greatest number of individuals. In this regard, two major views in utilitarianism are fronted by Jeremy Bentham. According to Bentham, utilitarianism adopts two main features, a teleological aspect, and a ...

The Modern period from the late 19th to the early phase of the 20th century served as the catalyst for the beginning of avant-garde works of different artists whose works isolated their styles from the rest of the artistic movements that emerged in the previous eras.

The artists who popularized these method includes Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Larry Rivers each of the defined the early ...

As with all great creations by literary masters, Gabriel García Márquez’s tale “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” is timeless, speaking to the core of the human experience. Even though it was written almost half a century ago, it still speaks to people today. This is especially true of foreignness, something that the global migration crisis has intensified in the past years. The tale’s titular character is an embodiment of the Other. There are many ways that he is different from the rest of the characters, calling him “strange” and a “nightmare” (García ...

Twelve Angry Men is a 1957 drama in which twelve jurors decide the faith of a boy who is on trial in court for alleged murder of his own father.

Jury members have no names and go by numbers, and the audience is presented with their reasoning and thought process through their monologues and dialogues. Although this is quite an explicit way to convey what a character’s position is, ...

Background

I volunteered to work with Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulfcoast. This organization was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, an early social innovator and Methodist minister. Helms used to collect clothing and household goods from affluent parts of the city, then proceeded to hire people who could mend the goods. After that, the goods were resold or given to individuals who repaired them. This system became successful and resulted in the Goodwill philosophy which stated that “a hand up, not a hand out”.

This work captures a recount of an interview I conducted two different people. The first one was an American female of seventy years old. My second interviewee was a ninety-year-old male, and a Russia-born moved to South Dakota when he was two. I will settle for the woman while doing this reflection, and I will rely on the continuity activity theory, which states that people who get to the old age successfully continue the positive mind-set that they had at their middle ages (Kaptelinin & Nardi, 2012). Meaning that they remain confident about life and shows this in whatever they ...

Ernest Hemingway is one of those artists, who like to expose themselves any way they like. Hemingway often used irony in his writings when depicting characters, which had life stories full of muddle and difficulties. Not many writers can boast of such an innovation brought to literature, but William Dean Howells can. He began as a critic, and later became a novelist – he is considered the champion of literary realism, who depicted each aspect of society without any embellishment. He sought to pass his own impressions to readers, to arouse their imagination and feelings – the same ones as Howells ...

2. Hemingway had an approach to writing he referred to as “the iceberg theory.” How does this theory apply to The Old Man and the Sea? Santiago's struggle with the marlin throughout the story represents a profound importance that Hemingway placed on experience in his writing. This experience could be used in order to inform a deeper understanding of the subjects that he was presenting. His prose was written in an efficient, non-description manner, which requires the reader to make their own judgments and inferences based on their personal experiences. This seems to create an underlying tension that is ...

Old age marks the end of the human life cycle and involves surpassing or nearing the set life expectancy of people. Most states have set the life expectancy of persons to be between 60 and 65 years, and this marks the termination of many life cycles. At this particular stage, we have reduced regenerative abilities as opposed to young people. Our bodies have the capacity to dispose and destroy worn out cells at a faster rate, but this is not the case in the old age where all life processes have ultimately slowed down. Bronfenbrenner, suggests that our environment ...

Oedipus, the King of These in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex is guilty of both incest and patricide. The proof of Oedipus’ guilt can be found in what vague description of what he knew about Laius and Jocasta. As a man who knew about the oracle’s prophecy, he should have exercised caution when he was confronted by an old man. Oedipus’ failure to connect the dots is deliberate since people could have been able to decipher that the individual who was responsible for the death of Laius was Oedipus who makes his entrance into Thebes two days after the junction ...

In Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”, the writer touches upon a number of themes. The plot of the short story is driven mainly by the dialogue that takes places at a café by a young waiter and an older waiter, who are waiting for an elderly customer to finish his shot of brandy so they can close for the evening. As the narrative progresses, Hemingway subtly explores the relationship between aging and faith. This theme permeates the text, shedding light on the broader interplay between aging and faith in modern society, as well as evoking memories of ...

In this context, the need to conduct one’s affairs in a safe manner constitutes the element of duty. Failure to act safely and within expected ...

Someone being chased through the woods by a hungry bear will have his or her sympathetic nervous system being engaged in the flight. This second type of autonomic nervous system tagged sympathetic will be responsible for the control of many homeostatic mechanisms that will help the person to flit away from the hungry bear. The mechanism is that of the sympatho-adrenal response of the body. The interconnected neurons of the SNS are connected to several organs of the body which enables several organs to be controlled during this period of flight response.

Gaps and opportunities for a disable person would motivate their engagement in the physical activities.

The next essential steps is to talk out the “likes” and “dislikes” of the person and make ...

Fictional crime shows and real crime shows share some similarities as well differences. For example, both shows attempt to unlock the mystery of crime scenes in a logical and systematic manner. Nevertheless, fictional crime shows also differ significantly from real crime shows.

A good example of a real crime show is First 48. In season 10, episode 6, the detectives attempt to resolve the murder of a 28-year-old man stabbed to death while working in a smoke shop. In order to resolve ...
