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.

Malcom Knowles theory of adult learning

The Andragogy theory by Knowles primarily focuses on adult learning experience as well as effective adult education approaches (Knowles, 1984).

As a result, adults often design their learning schedules and are encouraged to commit to their studies (Knowles, 1975). Adult education is also collaborative because adults compared to children, like working together and reviewing each other’s coursework with the primary objective of comprehending a subject. Besides, adult learning is rather casual, and grades do not matter, as adult instructors focus on the ...

1. Do Nature and Nurture Play Similar Roles in Speech Development? Several schools of thought exist regarding the nature v. nurture debate regarding language development. Language is a representation of inner speech and inner speech is a function of thought processing (Lollar, Monsour, & Barwind, 2012, pp. 62). We are hard-wired to acquire speech within a window of time; failure to acquire speech within that window can result in ever fully mastering a speaking skill (Feldman, 2010). It is impossible to disentangle nature from nurture in the acquisition of speech; both are important (Lollar, Monsour & Barwind, pp. 62). By the ...

Gender is a term that can be interpreted in various ways. Initially, gender was known to be a synonym for women. The main reason behind this reasoning was the fact that the term gender and all gender studies carried out were mainly done to study women. They all had a feminine touch. Gender studies mainly began as a result of traditional invisibility associated with women. Their role in the society was limited. They were not involved in politics or any kind of leadership. As a result, women wanted to overcome this traditional invisibility, and this led to the beginning ...

Explain the concept of federalism, the separation of powers, and the role of interest groups in general

Federalism refers to a system of government that is made up of the central and regional government with each having distinct powers. To maintain the independence of these two governments, the concept of separation of powers comes in to enhance the distribution of power within the different arms of the government. These arms include the executive, the judiciary, and the legislature (Baker & Preston, 2005). Ideally, each of these three arms has their separate functions and thus it is of paramount importance to protect their independence that is most likely to be affected by encroachment by either of the other ...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has an important role in regulating cellular energy equilibrium. It acts as a cellular energy sensor and can respond to low levels of ATP in the body (Jornayvaz & Shulman, 2010). AMPK activation can positively regulates signaling pathways that are involved in replenishing cellular ATP supplies, fatty acid oxidation, lipogenesis, and triglyceride synthesis. AMPK is not only involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, but it is also involved in biogenesis of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT 4) (Dominy & Puigserver, 2013). Research shows that AMPK increases mitochondrial biogenesis by inducing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) transcription (Fernandez-Marcos & Auwerx, 2011). ...

Today, there is a broad consensus among policymakers and mainstream economists in developed countries and international institutions that a secure property rights regime (defined in terms of the transparency, impartiality, and competence of the judicial system) plays a critical role in economic development. Yet this view is a recent phenomenon; it is only in recent decades that the importance of property rights has entered the economic literature. Of course, throughout much of the early history of modern economics, the existence of private property rights was a presumption that underlay the work of leading economic thinkers. It is no wonder ...

By 2005, IBM made its exit from the PC business and switched to consulting (Kanter 47-8). This is a drastic shift indeed for a company which provided virtually no consulting services in 1990 to becoming one of the largest services companies some 20 years later.

PART 1: ART AND ARCHITECTURE THEME REFLECTION

Instead, as the final scene in the story unfolds the reader is made aware ...
