Introduction For many centuries women were deprived of their natural rights to control their life and even body and yet the struggle for equal rights is still continuing. At some point, feminism acquired a negative connotation that people today associate with the fanaticism and misandry. It is quite difficult to explain why the movement that released so many women from their invisible prisons is criticized by the modern society. A lot of women have fought to overcome discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping of womanhood by changing the laws, altering the views of the society, and fighting back their oppressors. In ...

Advertising has long ceased to be merely a method of marketing of products. Sometimes people in an advertisement can see something so amazing that will stick into memory for long.

It is no accident that endless streams of videos and thousands of pictures are so popular on the internet, discussions over new advertisement are rather heated, and cinemas show best advertisements. Creation of high-quality advertising is a work of talented creative team; and this process has ...

All Sciences, whether Physical, Social, or a combination of the two (like Anthropology), are based on hypotheses and theories. Some of the unlikeliest scientific theories have arisen from hypotheses that were considered insane at one point. In the world of Anthropology, the situation is no different. At one point, any supposition that the earth had been formed over billions of years rather than created in a biblical manner was considered criminal. Governments were so thrown apart by statements like this that people were decried as heretics, beheaded or sent into exile. These scientists went against what was mainstream thinking ...

Introduction

The scramble for Africa came as a result of Europeans desire to control resources found in Africa, by coming to Africa and colonizing them.

David Sedaris’s Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is a collection of short stories, which are thought-provoking, symbolic, interpretative and at times delusional. Through the world of animals, the author immerses the reader into the world of morals, contrasts and human-relatable relationship patterns. The main devices, used for this, are personification and irony. With personification it is more or less straightforward: animals represent people, which adds spice and expressiveness to the stories. Irony, however, is used in its full force, making each story somewhat grasping and multi-layer, adding deep surface meaning to it. Overall, the purpose of the book is to ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

The grass is the primary producer (“The Grasslands,” n.d). For example hare barley, scientifically called Eremopyrum triticeum. Through the process of photosynthesis, the grass makes food.

The grass uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. Also, the climate is a critical abiotic factor including suitable rainfall, temperature, and the wind among others. At the same time, there are biotic factors such as animals and insects that help in the pollination of the grass. They also ...

Community oriented policing services or COPS developed as a response to public fears in the early 1990s of rampant crime and politicians promises to “put 100,000 officers” on the streets at a minimal cost (Roth & Ryan, 2000). At around the same time new research into policing methods began to question the traditional police approach to fighting crime. According to the research, simply putting out more patrols to respond to crimes after they happen was not enough to substantially decrease crime. Instead, the research argued police needed to attack the underlying issues that facilitate the occurrence of crime (Roth ...

In her 1926 short story “Sweat”, Zora Neale Hurston tells a sad story of the abusive relationship in a poor household, where Delia has to wash people’s clothes to earn money that her unemployed, lazy, cheating and abusive husband freely spends on his lover Bertha.

The first of the two connected symbols is the snake ...

Question 1: “TV People”

Question 2: “My World of the Unknown” In Rifaat’s story, the biggest challenge that the audience meets is the ability to deduce meaning for the morals behind using the snake (jinni) as a coach for sexual pleasure. While the woman in the story plays an innocence character, the audience cannot still ascertain how an adult with whose cognitive capabilities are not in doubt can ascent to the fantasies that accompany the snake without informing the husband how she relates with the snake. For western readers the story could explain the structure of relationships in Eastern families and what ...

Robert Frost, an American poet of the late 19th century was dubbed as one of America’s finest poets. Literally, his poems reflect the serene appreciation of quiet living in the countryside, the simple appreciation over small things and the values of life (Fagan, 33). In this paper, I would like to argue that Robert Frost’s poems reflect individuality, despite the gentle poetic words of his poems. Normally, a reader might perceive Frost as an ‘effeminate; due to the quality of his chosen words. Most poets at the time of war use a much stronger voice in order to express ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

The problem of evil is a central point of interest in theology. It is a philosophically a problem of interest especially in religions with an omnipotent and omniscient deity like. The problem of evil has produced paradoxes such as the Epicurean paradox. The story of Job in the Torah presents an interesting perspective of evil that is not to be seen anywhere. Job can be thought of like a pawn on a cosmic chess board. In what appears to be an annual assembly, God and the Devil are having a rather casual conversation. God enquiries of Satan’s recent activities, whereupon Satan replies that he ...

One of the traits that is commonly associated with the writing of Southern storyteller Flannery O’Connor is the use of shocking violence in order to advance her rhetorical arguments. One of the more ironic uses of violence occurs when she chooses to use it for the representation of salvation, frequently through the use of characters who are physically and/or spiritually grotesque in nature. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is one of O’Connor’s most popular stories, and it demonstrates this principle. The Misfit is a murderer who shocks a Pharisaically pious grandmother into authentic spiritual awareness even ...

The statue of Asklepios was formed in Greece during the Hellenistic period in the 2nd century B.C. The statue is a scale of art that combines different artistic skills and styles to bring perfection.

The main and observable element is the intertwined snake to the right and left sections of the body of a human. The art in the statue is amazing that leaves a room for exclusive analysis of the artistic elements to understand the meaning of the statue in a deep way. Every artistic element leaves ...

God has created all creatures. It is amazing to discover that each creature is unique in its own sense and does not resemble the other creature completely. The various creatures on earth, including plants and animals differ greatly from each other on the basis of their outer morphology and inner anatomy.

Introduction

The way people behave depends on their learning processes; the learning process involves the acquisitions, accumulation, and use of knowledge in everyday experiences. The two significant theories in the learning process are classical and operant.

Elements of classical and operant conditioning

In operant conditioning, a reinforcing stimulus follows a voluntary response. Due to the reinforcement, the voluntary stimulus is likely to be repeated by the person. The reinforcement acts as a stimulus which increases the chance of a repeat in behavior. The process of operant conditioning is efficient only when the voluntary response is immediately followed by the reinforcement; this helps the subject in perceiving the relationship between the ...

“Zombie is a mythical character archetype of modern mass culture. Under the zombies, it is understood as a rule, or a fantastic way to busy corpse, or a living person, completely lost control of himself and his body or someone else's subordinate commands.

The concept of zombies back to the West African voodoo religious cults, cultivating the idea of ​​powerful magicians who can resurrect the dead people ...

The understanding of mental health issues is impacted significantly by the images portrayed in various sources such as printed media, news media, film and drama as well as real-life experiences.

The story is told from the perspective of de Havilland, a young writer who is taken to Juniper Hill State mental facility by her husband (The snake pit, 1948). One of ...

Introduction

Historically, transnational crime was analyzed primarily as a law and order problem rather than an issue of international security. Today, transnational crime has become a threat to the sovereignty of governments, reliability of financial institutions, and the functioning of democracy. For this matter, transnational crime graduates from its accustomed place of a national phenomenon and becomes a global security issue that requires an international approach to tackle. The seriousness of transnational crime is apparent. Transnational crime is cancer that is eating the legitimacy of some states. Because of its cancerous nature to the wellbeing of some states, there is a need to streamline ways ...

Ridley Scott’s 2012 film Prometheus acts as both a prequel to the Alien franchise and its own, standalone piece of work. Upon its release, it was met with divisive critical opinions; some hailed the film as a masterwork of science fiction, while others derided their perceived problems with the script, plot and characters, all of whom are, on the surface, inconsistent and wrongheaded. The tale of a scientific expedition on a spaceship to determine the source of an ages-old SOS from a planetoid believed to harbor extraterrestrial life, Prometheus shows its characters making many stupid and flawed decisions, which some have taken as ...
