Q- How we see post-modernistic approach in John Barth`s short story & in what way? John Barth's short story "The Night Sea Journey" is an example of a post modernistic approach. Postmodernism actually means, treating a thing or a character in such a way that is completely different from what it actually is. For example in this short story we first see a person talking, later we realise that it is a sperm who was the narrator in the entire story. Right from the beginning the spermatozoa addresses himself as a person who is in doubt, wonder & despair. The sperm narrating the story as human ...

Introduction

In a classic financial world as predicted by Modigliani and Miller (M&M), the risk management should be irrelevant. When there are no information asymmetries, taxes or transaction cost involved, hedging will not add any value to a firm because shareholders or companies can diversify their portfolio in such a way that their overall risk will be totally hedged (Lin and Chang 2006). However, the real world is far from the Modigliani and Miller model. In practice, we see imperfections in the financial market. This imperfection may actually create a rationale to reduce the volatility of earnings for a firm through hedging.

Many empirical ...

1. The word “philosophy” means in Greek “the love/pursuit of wisdom” – considering the first Greek philosophers (the Pre-Socratics), what propelled them to pursue a new kind of “wisdom”? What were they unsatisfied with?

The pre-Socratic philosophers were referred to as physiologoi, meaning physical or natural philosophers. They sought to provide natural and rational justifications for various occurrences. The “essence of things” propelled them to pursue new king of wisdom by posing questions such as; where does everything come from? Can nature be explained mathematically? From what does everything emanate? As such, their concerns were ontology, mathematics, and cosmology. They were unsatisfied with the mythological explanations to the occurrences that were being experienced during their time and sought to provide reasoned explanations to natural occurrences.

2. How are the concepts of Lack (Poverty) and Resourcefulness (Resource) pertinent to Philosophy (and Love, according to Plato)? What does the philosopher lack, what resources does he/she have that enables him/her to attain what is lacking?

The concept of love depicts the fullness ...

Classroom Comprehensive Technology Plan: Increasing Productivity and Efficiency of Students and Teachers

The comprehensive technology plan has the overall goal of producing quality learners who are ready to face life after school. To be able to do this, I as the teacher must be able to incorporate inside the classrooms the actual technologies used in the real world so that my students will not stay naïve. Even if my students are well taught on theories, but they do not know how to apply these in the real world, then all the learning that they gain from school will be nothing because what is important is how they will apply these ...

I believe that all individuals are unique and the same goes for students. Part of students’ uniqueness is their difference in their skills, talents, and the way they learn. In other words, I recognize that all students have their own strengths and weaknesses and that they learn through different ways.

As a teacher, I then try to bring out the best in my students by allowing them to be themselves and to use whatever skills and talents they have. I allow them autonomy when they work on school requirements so that they can decide for themselves how they can best ...

Perception influences the learning activities in schools. To some, learning is the process of accumulating information and then pouring the information needed in the examination papers. On the other hand, learning to some means accumulating knowledge throughout the learning process and then being able to apply the knowledge gained from class in real live situations. The two perceptions are very common among the teachers and the students. The school administration may also imply the perceptions and this may make the instructors adopt the perception in learning process. The perception adopted by students and teachers to a great extent influence the ...

Both Dali’s and Chagall’s art works were prepared after the World War II. Both works of art also were made to symbolize something. This means that the works had a hidden meaning that the artists wanted to pass to the people. As for Dali, the main message that the artist wanted to communicate to the people is about the irrelevance of time. The drooping pocket watches generally mean that time is not relevant when an individual is asleep since such an individual is in a subconscious state. On the other hand, Juggler of Paris by Chagall is made mainly ...

According to Laudon and Laudon (2006), virtual reality is a type of information system that emulates a real world situation and transforms it into a digital context whereas augmented reality incorporates digital data and information into real world context. A virtual reality system creates a total immersion of users’ mental, visual and even aural experiences of the real world into the system. Augmented system on the other hand augments the system experiences and virtuality into the real world.

Why is augmented reality so appealing to marketers?

Augmented reality is one of the new marketing techniques taking toll of the market, Laudon argues that the main reason is because of the fact ...

Introduction The movies, Beowulf and The 13th Warrior had their setting in the ancient days where technology was not yet established. They were the times of swords, arrows and bows. Both movies have got characters that are not somewhat fully human. Like in Beowulf, there is a monstrous creature called Grendel while in the 13th Warrior, the antagonists are half men and half bear.

U.S. Intelligence U.S. Intelligence In the past years, the main test of the quality of U.S. intelligence community was their capacity to gauge the capabilities and intentions of the Soviet Union and the terrorists. However, so far the overall performance of U.S. intelligence has not done well at detecting Soviet military forces other than those positioned for a nuclear strike against the United States (Greenberg and Haass, 1996). They have failed mostly in forecasting accurately what the Soviet government and terrorist intends to do in the future. This is so because the minority in the intelligence community tends ...

I firmly believe that addiction to video games can damage personal and public life. However, every road goes both ways, forward and even backward. It altogether depends on the person to decide the path to choose. The same logic applies here too. There is always harm, when there is too much of a thing; extremity called addiction arises from what starts as an innocent, harmless habit. There are arguments also on the supporting side with regards to playing of video games claiming numerous benefits. However, most of the people believe that the negatives outweigh the benefits gained by playing video ...

There are majorly two basic types of encryption used asymmetric and symmetric key encryption.

What is RSA encryption?

Symmetric key encryption has one weakness that its integrity is dependent on the exclusive sharing of its private keys. Here, different encryption scheme is needed that is asymmetric or public key encryption. Public key cryptography is a mathematical approach valuable ...

The archetypal hero’s journey has taken many forms throughout history; in contemporary film, it often requires the main characters to step outside their cynical, grounded physical worlds and enter new realms of imagination. In the case of two classic films from the 1990s, Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King and the Wachowski Brothers’ The Matrix , three archetypes of the hero’s journey(the hero, the mentor, and the monster) are found, contextualizing these modern science fiction and fantasy films as modern hero’s journeys.

The Theogony encompasses a wide array of classical mythology concerning the beliefs of ancient Greek people. Theogony illustrates narratives of how the gods created and shaped the universe. Thogony retells the Greek mythology the same way the bible in the book of Genesis depicts the story of creation.

Hesiod says that, in the beginning of creation, there was a lot of chaos due to many elements ( ...

Introduction

The current perception about the importance of grades is quite baffling. The academic fraternity has placed so much importance on high grades and putting so much focus on grades, most of the students in various institutions are missing the purpose of education. Good education is often quoted as a major prerequisite to a good job and consequently a good life. Education is not considered decent enough until one has gone to college and graduated. With such an understanding of college education importance, many students torture themselves with books hoping to get good grades to get into college (Pope, 14). The students ...

This work is devoted to a very current theme about communication that is affected by perception.

I am very interested in this topic because studying culture motivates and inspires me to learn foreign languages. I can easily read their books and watch their movie in the original language. It ...

What is a market in practical life? An ordinary person would probably identify it as a place where you can buy stuff from those who sell it. True it is. But what motivates us to buy only specific goods? Why don’t we buy goods in the enormous amounts? Why only at the specific prices? Why the prices are set anyways? And what motivates the seller to produce and sell more? These questions can hardly be answered by a regular person. For an economist will find a market to be a much more complex system with its main players – demand and supply. No ...

Why MBA Programs Don’t Produce Leaders appeared in the Forbes online e-zine in October of 2011. Throughout the article, the author details his opinion of how business schools fail to produce leaders who can be effective in real world business situations. Master’s in Business Administration degrees comprises one fourth of the total number of master’s degrees being awarded each year. With such a high number of attendees compared to other master’s degree programs, students obviously seem to believe that they are gaining the skills that they need to be effective managers and leaders of today’s ...

More and more of people’s everyday lives are occurring online. Unlike many previous generations, the current generations are growing up in an increasingly isolated world, with much of their contact with other people taking place through the Internet. Of course, not all human interaction will fall by the wayside as a result of this increasingly-cyber world, but now much of the human interaction that used to take place in the “real world” occurs over the Internet. Using the Internet as a tool to find a romantic partner, for instance, is one way that the Internet has changed the face of human ...

This topic is derived from module 1 in the definition of instructional technology where Cass Gentry (Gentry, C. (1995). Educational Technology: A Question of Meaning. In G. J. Anglin [Ed.], Instructional Technology: Past, Present, and Future, [Chapter 1]. Englewood, CO: Libraries Unlimited, pp. 1-10.), defines instructional technology as: "The systemic and systematic application of strategies and techniques derived from behavior and physical sciences concepts and other knowledge to the solution of instructional problems." It is the last part of the definition “solution of the instructional problem” that the topic seeks to unravel, i.e. how do the instructional technologies ...

New advances of technology have fascinated the world and have changed how people communicate. Recent introduction of social network, like twitter, facebook, and LinkedIn have totally changed how people connect to others and most people have adapted to this kind of changes. One can get amazed to see students walking with their heads held down to the phone and fingers moving at a furious pace in the name of “twitting” and “facebooking”. The effect of social network has become a debatable and a hot topic to the sociologist where they argue that the virtual world has changed how people react to each ...

Cyberspace allows a person to project a much-better version of himself. Teenagers, attracted to this benefit of virtual reality, tend to spend more time online rather than engage in face to face interactions with their friends. The online experience also provides plenty of opportunities to lie about one’s identity. In today’s society, this writer has observed that teenagers find pleasures in cyberspace that they could not find in real life, thus they are drawn to it. The topic is particularly interesting since family members, including this writer’s own brother, spend long hours online. The reasons why young people ...

Introduction:

The idea of trusting, and mistrusting your senses has been part of philosophical discourse for a very long time. In The Republic, Book VII Plato writes of one of Socrates’s discourses most commonly referred to as The Cave. This provides written verification that humankind has been questioning their senses and cognition since 360 BCE. If we fast-forward a couple of millennia or so, we can view this from the Cartesian prospective or bring it into modern times and into The Matrix.

Thesis:

The senses and our understanding of our perceptions cannot always be trusted. Argument: In The Republic, Book ...

Introduction

Data is the building block of any system in the world today. A repository of such related data is called a database. A relational database organizes the data into tables that are related to each other. For example, in a relational database system, there exists one table that contains the data about cars manufactured by a company and the second table contains the information about car parts. These tables are related to each other, because each car is made up of parts, and each car part can be in one or more cars. Haley (1991) defines a table as the principal building ...

Introduction

Maurice Merleau-Ponty begins his essay “Eye and Mind” with a comment on science. Studying the world in the manner that science does, takes a person out of one’s body, he says. It places the world in a series of definitions, constructs, indices and variables, allowing only the understanding of minute, exact changes to have a status of legitimacy. He says science “comes face to face with the real world only at rare intervals” (Ponty, 121). For any lover of art who lives in this practical, rational capitalistic society, this point of view is refreshing. Today, typically, the real world is referred to ...

Life is always about learning new things, getting exposed to the new phenomenon and the realities that life throws at you. On several occasions in life, I came across an incident or an event or some tragedy which I have studied before and I know the theoretical ways of dealing with the situation. In such situations, it is easier for me to adjust and adapt to the incidents, events as compared to the situation when I have no clue about the situation.
