In My Last Duchess, a Duke shows his guest the painting of his late wife and gradually reveals how her perceived infidelity enraged him into killing her. Browning narrates the scene through the voice of the duke, allowing understanding to dawn naturally on the reader as though they are hearing the story firsthand. This makes the horror of the poem a personal experience for the reader, who uncovers clues throughout about the death of the Duchess, feels as though they are engaging personally with the Duke, and finally, comes to realize the crime of the story and apply that ...

The most challenging aspect of meeting the requirements of this essay was the fact that I had so many ideas that I lacked the right words to present. The essay is all about the personal experience I have had during the transition from the Chinese education system to the American system. Given that I am yet to learn all English vocabularies, some of the ideas I had were not well expressed. During the revision of this essay, I first sat back and re-read the paper. This was to examine whether other readers could make sense of what I was ...

The monopolistic condition is a market condition in which many small operators exist in the market selling competitive(similar but not identical) products. Product differentiation is a primary characteristic of the monopolistic industry. Many sellers make independent decisions regarding price and output based on the market and the cost of production. Knowledge is widely spread among customers, but it is not likely to be perfect. Grocery stores or supermarkets are one of the classic examples of imperfect competition. There are a plethora of products available for different brands, different packaging, and different customer loyalty. Among available items are also ...

Discussion of three reflective pieces on business Profit, Careers, and a Meaningful Life.

Trying to figure out the best ways to balance business pursuits, without being greedy and being aware of preserving the natural environment for example, is not an easy feat to reasonably accomplish. The world today is surprising and complex. The global economy, shaky politics, and new international rules leave room for business people to really think about how they want to establish their business practices and policies. This essay is a collection of three reflective pieces regarding different, but fairly correlated, aspects of business choices and ideas in society in our modern world.

Reflection #1: Whether business pursuits should think about more than monetary profit, like protection strategies for the natural environment.

After reading the Captain Planet article, ...

Personal Experience

We all live in a society that is governed by laws and norms, setting rules for us and telling us how to behave. They give us some set guidelines as to how to behave in the society and what kind of behavior is expected from us. Social norms are the traditional standards of behavior and any behavior that lives up to these norms is known as conformity. Different nations and societies might follow different norms. What might be allowed and normal in one country might not be in another. Different social groups in the same country will follow different ...

Reflection on Diversity

Reflection on Diversity What can be more comprehensible and at the same time more complex than interpersonal relationships? The only thought that comes to my mind is the relationships between the groups, groups that are built from individuals with their own educational and personal backgrounds, racial and ethnical diversity and social and economic attributes. Individuals comprise groups and these groups, social, economics, business, environmental or any other have, essentially, the same purpose – create a feeling of belonging and build on our individual comfort zones. Human being is a collective thinker that finds his personal identity and builds individual cognitive and ...

Personal experience with discrimination

Social and cultural diversity across the world affects how individuals are perceived and handled in different social settings. It is the quality of different cultures as opposed to monoculture across the global world. Even though the United States has made an outstanding effort to curb discrimination, traces of these acts still exist specially in the New York City (Belmont, 2011). This paper reflects my own personal experience both at my home town in New York City and abroad, regarding personal biasness and discrimination that I have experienced in different social settings upon factors such as race, gender, religion, socioeconomic ...

Summary and Reflection: Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott

Summary and Reflection Anne Lamott discussed the value of first drafts in writing through the article Shitty First Drafts, an article in her best-selling book Bird by Bird. As a professional writer, Lamott disputes the commonly held notion that good writers find it easy to create written works without any indication of anxiety or difficulty whatsoever. For Lamott, all writers experience obstacles related to their written works. In turn, Lamott referred to first drafts as those that tend to reflect the obstacles of all writers towards producing the final version of their written works (Lamott, 1994).

I tell myself, “you should be outside enjoying the sunshine,” but I realize that my dreaded reflection paper for English Grammar, is due in just eight hours.

- Hindu Rights and Rituals: Describe Hindu worship and the role it plays within the Hindu Religion

Puja is a term that directly refers to Hindu worship, which is practiced primarily on an individual basis (“Worship (Hinduism),” 2005). Such is in line with the premise of Hinduism, which emphasizes on the value of personal experience in terms of its worship (Kreeft, n.d.). Deities in Hinduism are worshipped privately, such that it involves the supplication of personal offerings made by worshippers. Gods are typically chosen for worship according to preference, their images displayed at homes and are given incense, water ...

Economic transformation has led to tremendous change in the role, scale and meaning of major urban airports worldwide. The major gateway airports are attracting spatial concentrations of commercial activities, leading to transport induced growth (aerotropolis).

As a result of development of these airports by these private companies, complications arise which relate to land use, environmental impacts and implications, infrastructural transport and stakeholder relationship.

Teaching is a more an art than a skill, and any good teacher would agree to that point. A good teacher not only spreads knowledge, but also creates an environment that is conducive to learning, promoting the spread of knowledge. However, the modern day teacher faces many issues; issues that inhibit learning and the spread of knowledge. Knowing all too well about the myriad of issues that college teachers face, Stephen Brookfield, in his book 'The Skillful Teacher', aims to provide a guide for experienced and novice teachers alike. In the first chapter of the book, the author states that ...

Scenario 1: Teaching a newly diagnosed type II diabetic patient the importance of monitoring his/her blood glucose level.

This scenario will require applying connectivism theory of learning to help the patient effectively comprehend the importance of monitoring blood glucose level in the body. Connectivism theory is relevant in this scenario since it requires that the patient needs knowledge to assimilate the importance of monitoring his or her blood glucose level. The patient has to be active and learn as the process of learning is carried on. James states that, “Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning” (2013). The theory makes learning contextual as the patient has to connect the information he has concerning ...

- The introduction of the essay seems too rhetorical to be interesting. It is also too wordy at the expense of clarity. The author should consider using simpler language that readers will be able to relate to. - The thesis statement is quite clear – the youngest child is ‘luckier’ than the oldest in a family’. The author has repeated it twice within the paragraph. However, the introduction does not include a summary of supporting facts, other than the author’s personal experience, to back the thesis. - Although the author does not explicitly state the purpose of ...

Life is a process that entails continuous learning not only through difficult and horrifying moments but also through continued our past successes. This learning process remains throughout our lifetime and only disappears when we take an eternal slumber never to see the rising sun again. This paper intends to focus the learning moments in life by exploring the lessons learnt from both the worst and darkest moments and also through the different successes achieved in life.

Focusing on the worst darkest moments that I have experiences in life, my mind flashes back to the summer of 2009 when I visited ...

The use of language refers to the cognitive abilities of non-human animals. The study of cognition is one of the urgent problems of modern science of animal behavior, since it only serves as a source of data for the reconstruction of the emergence and development of the cognitive functions in the early stages of the anthropogenesis. Many non-human animals found very complex communication systems, but can we say that they have language similar to the one, used by the people? The problem here is in the deciphering of the natural animal communication. The point, however, is that, with specific ...

Mental Model/ Mindsets and their Impact on Employees

Mental models influence the decision-making abilities and performance at workplaces. The common type of mental mindset is the preconceived perception a worker develops through experiences. The effect that the mental models have on employees and human resource managers is preventing the achievement of their full potential. The perceptions filter out most presented observations as threats (Kohl, 2006). If a worker recognizes such a limited mindset, they can work toward viewing issues from logical and unbiased viewpoints. Some mindsets work against strategic changes in companies and proposed projects. As such, it is important that the managers of the company breakdown such mindsets for ...

Most writers ensure that they convince their target audience to agree with their ideas as the right conceptions. They use different appeals such as logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to drive their point home. Through such appeals, the target audience better understands the intentions of the authors and assumes the latter’s position, thereby agreeing or conflicting the given information. An appeal to logos (logical) uses reasoning to convince the target audience. On the other hand, pathos (emotional) persuades the readers through appealing to their emotions. An appeal to ethos however convinces these audiences through the author’s character ...

According to Lance Ulanoff, using Wikipedia as a source for writing any academic paper is not advisable. According to his article Wikipedia: You still can’t trust it, he expresses his feeling about Wikipedia saying that it should not be trusted to give any proper academic information. He had several arguments to support his claim why Wikipedia should not be trusted whatsoever. His main argument as to why we should not trust Wikipedia is that anyone can get access to a Wikipedia page and put any information they feel like without verifying whether the informat6ion is right or wrong. From his ...

Dear graduates, parents, faculties and friends, it gives me great pleasure to stand before you and deliver this commencement speech. Being a part of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, has been a privilege that I will not forget that easily. A college that boasts of a mix of Asians, South and Latin Americans, Europeans, and others, I have never for once felt like a stranger here. During the course of my stay here, I have learnt a lot from my friends who are from different cultural and social backgrounds. It’s been a fascinating journey, and I’m sure all of you share ...

The theme of self-identity of the individual plays one of the key roles in the contemporary sociological science. It is justified by the increased importance of the personal understanding of self and the emerging crisis of self-identification of people within the contemporary social system. Therefore, this theme represents special ineptest for the scientific researches and analyses of social science specialists. The analysis of the following sources shows the complex character of the self-identity theory and wide range of narrative techniques used to attract attention of the reader. In the book “Identity’s Strategy: Rhetorical Selves in Conversion” written ...

Sociological imagination connects an individual’s imagination to events and other people in the society. There are three key principles in sociological imagination; history, social structure and biography. Mills’ hypothesis states that people are able to understand themselves and the reality around them by linking their personal experience with structural and historical forces (Mitra&Sarabia, 2005). In this paper, I will correlate my personal experience from events that have happened around and how they have influenced my decisions. This concept needs to be applied carefully since it attempts to create a connection between public issues and my personal experience (Schudson, 2008). ...

Background of the Study

A useful lesson to illustrate a major pedagogical theory in education involves a close reading lesson given in the ninth grade English class. Many high schools English teachers report that their students lack the skill of reading a passage, whether fiction or non-fiction, and successfully draw inferences and figurative meanings or even critically analyze the readings. These figurative meanings are crucial to understanding the rhetorical argument of the piece, making this a vital skill. Furthermore, writing is also as complex a learning activity as reading that fosters the act of critically arranging the words to make perfect sense.

I am writing this personal experience that reinforced my belief in God and also shook me from within and even made me laugh! We all fear accidents as they involve serious injuries and may cause a threat to life. I am no different. Thoughts about a severe accident send shivers up my spine. However, I still recollect the day- June 1 in the year 2006, when I escaped miraculously in a road accident that year. This experience made me ponder about the importance of human life and also about its uncertainty. The incident became even more complicated with the addition of a dog ...

Chapter 9: Descartes

1. "I find here that thought is an attribute that belongs to me; it cannot be separated from me. I am, I exist, that is certain" (Descartes qtd. in Soccio 260). What does Descartes mean by this statement and why is it so important? Descartes claims that there is no ego without a thought (mind) and this ego does not exist in a thoughtless state. That is one of his most important ideas, which led to a well-known statement - “I think therefore I am”. 2. What is meant to be proven by the wax example? How does Descartes go ...

Introduction

Who has ever thought of applying cognitive dissonance in the field of advertising? Is it a challenging ordeal? Holding more disagreeing cognition based on ideas, believes or values can sometime be confusing. While considering a state of dissonance, individuals seem to feel disequilibrium, anxiety, and guilt, embarrassed among other forms. Individuals should have a motivational determination to lessen dissonance by altering the existent cognitions. This approach has been identified to work in diverse fields in influencing or engaging individuals in diverse perspectives. For instance, cognitive dissonance theory has been identified to play an essential role in the advertising field. It is employed ...

Introduction

Rationalism is the major developed concept during the time of John Locke. His goal in his works is to build a more sophisticated foundation for information and science. The method he proposed is to evaluate the scope, limitation and reliability of the knowledge of humans and to differentiate it to the irrational concepts and ideas. He started to investigate the ability of the human mind by analysing the origin of our ideas. Locke believed that in order to understand the human mind, one should trace the origin of the idea from the individual’s experience (Kaijo, np). John Locke’ ...

Paul Roberts’ use of the college experience is different as compared to Eggers' use of the college experience. The reason for this is that in Roberts’ case he does not give college examples from his own experience. Rather, in his essay he makes up a fictional situation where students are required to write a 500-word essay over the weekend. Eggers uses examples drawn from his own personal experience while at college. He discusses how he was able to utilize his free time volunteering. Another difference in the use of the college experience is how easy college students can relate to ...

Observation is the first possible way for each and every of us to learn something about the outside world in our lives. Children are copycatting the things like language, manners or the role models from parents and family. It is the initial method of acquiring information for every human being. But does it mean that this way of learning is the ultimate method of learning? In this paper, I will define this issue in the case of my personal experience. On the contrary, such way of perception of information can harm a student`s learning. Firstly, this method had ...

Introduction My first memories of my father’s office have been those of sitting in his leather swivel chair and holding the phone to my ear.

I can see several interesting ideas in this paper, and I like how the personal experience is included in it and analyzed in the theme’s perspective. In my viewpoint, the traits of the people are well-described and grounded, as well as a personal example. Different sides of leadership receive their proper attention, and the areas, in which personal work is needed are also identified. However, I should say that it is difficult to catch the ideas of the paper as a logical flow is not very good, and I think that if it were improved, the paper would have been ...

Wilfred Owen, the poet who poured his heart out in the lines of the war-poem, Dulce et Decorum Est, was himself a soldier who faced the harrowing experiences of war and was left with an everlasting scar on his mind. He could never get over the trauma and tragedy of warfare and his poems are among the most emphatic piece of literary works which denounce warfare and exemplify the brutalities of violence and the ultimate futility which leads to irreplaceable loss of lives and psychological strain.

Introduction

Whether or not recess is necessary in schools, is a question that has sparked a fierce debate in the United States today. With a worrying trend of elimination of recess in various schools, experts from various social sciences have embarked on a mission to explain the essence of recess through empirical research. Currently, pediatricians and psychologists are spearheading the pro-recess argument. On the contrary, teachers and school superintendents feel that recess is a waste of time. They feel recess is the primary cause of the poor performance that differentiates the united states from the rest of the first world. According to Clark (179), an ...

Abstract

In second language acquisition, the teaching methods are primarily meant to contribute to learner’s acquisition of the language, not learning of the targeted foreign language. This implies focusing on communication (enhancing the vocabulary) and on process rather than on grammar and on product (learning the language). In this context, for stimulating the communication, teachers need to create relaxed environments for the learners to feel comfortable in communicating and interacting among themselves, sharing their experience with others and in the same time learning from various strategies or language acquisition methods. Such language acquisition methods are presented in the current ...

With Religion as Defined by Catherine Albanese

Often people confuse the concept of faith in God with religion. While religion remains a fundamental underpinning of the belief in God according to Judeo, Christian, and Islam nonetheless within the precepts of these three, there exists the idea of faith as the glue that binds belief. Comparing Terrence Tilley's definition of faith with Catherine Albanese's definition of religion provides the fodder fueling the debate of how these two concepts derive from belief in God and allows subjective consideration of how either of these author's views fit personal experience. Tilley provides a broad perspective in his book with chapters about ...
