However, there was a big problem that always held me back from taking the initiative. It was the fear of being mocked in the event of performance going haywire. Whenever I thought of addressing a ...

Abstract Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130”, was probably written to ridicule the traditional love poem that showed women as divine angelic creatures with no flaws. Shakespeare recognizes ...

Defining intelligence has been a complex area of study. In the era of psychometrics and behaviorism intelligence was considered to be a single trait which individuals inherited.

Under this assumption every human mind was treated as having the same capabilities and individual differences were ignored. On the other hand, a large number of researchers are of the belief that individuals hold some sort of capabilities which allow them to learn and adapt at varying rates. In a report published ...

Stereotyping is the process by which an individual looks at another person or group of people and makes a snap judgement about their abilities, intelligence, behavior, or mannerisms as a result of their outward appearance. Stereotyping is often considered to be linked with negative perceptions about an individual’s race or gender, but in reality, stereotyping can be done about any group-- and stereotyping does not have to include a negative generalization. However, generalizing about a group in a positive manner can be just as harmful to a business environment as generalizing in a negative manner. In the text Ouch!

Do you think stepping down was the right action for Baldwin to take?

One is convinced that stepping down was the right action for Baldwin to take given the nature of the ethical issue she got herself into. To take things into perspective, the ethical dilemma was a simple inability on her part to correct an error in her resume. However, this is tantamount to dishonesty and not telling the truth, which, according to Donaldson and Werhane, is one among the two traditional issues in business ethics, where ethical relativism is the other.

Lest you think that this is an eccentric oddity of the 19th century, it is instructive to remember that a publisher told Joanne Rowling that boys would enjoy reading about Harry Potter more if she published it as a more masculine J.K. While both women and men appear comfortable ...
