Essays on Spring

Berman, Paul. “Welcome to Phase Three of the Arab Spring: Islamists are Waning in the Arab World. But will Obama Notice?” New Republic, 22 February 2013.

Berman compares the Muslim Brotherhood’s post-revolutionary stance in Egypt to its counterpart in Tunisia. The Brotherhood in Egypt has proven less politically savvy than has been the case in Tunisia. This is borne out by the riots and demonstrations that have exploded in Cairo in the wake of the controversial constitution, which was introduced to the Egyptian public in December 2012. Some Egyptian observers have noted that initial promises from Washington to support democratic advocates in Egypt and the region have gone by the wayside, revealing that the ...

Introduction

The Arab Spring occurs as one of the widely discussed topics in history. This can be attributed to the fact that the Arab Spring evolved into a significant global event in history. The Arab Spring can be traced to the beginning of the early twentieth century when revolts to topple over authoritarian regimes in the Middle East became the most adequate solution to dictatorship, which had defied global trends aligned with liberalisation of the populations. Worth noting is the fact that social media played a comprehensive role in enhancing the success of the Arab Spring. Precisely, social media platforms ...

A study of the Effects of Social Media on the Arab Spring; Syria case

The Arab Spring refers to the instance that characterized the North Africa and Eastern Europe. I this regard, the countries that border this region was characterized by repressions and war related instances that were targeting the respective governments in the specific countries. The counties covered in the Arab Spring include, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan when it is related to Africa. On the other hand, the countries that comprise Eastern Europe are the likes of Tehran and Syria. It is referred to as the Arab spring because it center staged in the Arab world over a very short period (Wilson, ...

INTRODUCTION Various impact dynamic systems have been modelled postulating the expected drilling speed and displacement at given speeds. One of the most basic model [Fig 1(a)] that has been used involves a mass loaded with a force composed of static and harmonic components. Though the model is simple, the model also produces highly complex dynamics where the progression occurs at periodic system response. However, the stick slip phenomenon observed in this motion of the rock and the drill bit is not analyzed and therefore a more realistic model is required. The other model involves modeling the motion between ...

There is a reason as to why people behave in any manner. These reasons may be practically or theoretically explained as to their causes. Theoretically, behaviors can be explained using theories such as the relative deprivation theory and the frustration aggression theory. This paper identifies a social behavior i.e. a revolution and tries to explain it using the available theories. Precisely, the paper discusses the Arab Spring revolution and provides its details as related to the frustration-Aggression theory. The Arab Spring is a pan-regional turbulence which affected the Arab countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Jordan, ...

ABSTRACT

Spring-time events such as flowers budding have advanced by two and a half days per decade since the 1970s in Prairie regions (Korner C, Science, 2010).The flowering of a plant is a central event in its life-cycle, especially in plants growing in temperate regions of the world. These events are known as phenological changes and phenology is the study of plant and animal life-cycles in relation to annual and seasonal climate variations. Flowering phenology combines various diverse fields of study such as plant physiology, climatology, historical studies, and botany (Tooke F, J of Exp. Biology, 2010). The break ...

Summary and Annotation of Literature: Thoreau’s Synthesizing Metaphor

“Thoreau’s Synthesizing Metaphor,” the author James A. Hamby explains the interpretation of metaphor that used in Henry David Thoreau literatures. Through out his works, Thoreau never halted to emphasize on the importance and the essence of life in connecting human beings to our nature, which is referred as “man-and-the-land relationships”. In one of his literature Walden, he united two antithetic terms “natural” and “pertinent” in demonstrating that his life is logical, reasonable yet natural and free, which the author thinks the way of adopting these two words showed Thoreau’s sweeping scope of concerns. In the chapter “Economy”, ...

Introduction

Impact energy has been used to drill rock formations for many decades now. The various tools that have been used for this purpose include percussive drills, percussive hammers, down hole hammers, and so on. Percussive drilling dynamics has been possible using drifting oscillator models. This has been used to characterize the optimum conditions of the applied forces (both static and dynamic). And in this case, the sliders provide the contact force required during interactions. This force acts on the drill-bit, and the model accounts for contact geometrics in the crashing phases of the interactions. A series of experiments were ...

Experiment 5: Vectors and Static Equilibrium of Forces

INTRODUCTION: In physics, the subject of statics deals with the description of conditions of force system that is necessary to maintain the state of equilibrium of engineering structure. When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant of all forces acting on it is zero. Main condition for static equilibrium is that the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body must be zero. In this report equilibrium was discussed by carrying out an experiment. For an analysis of a vector quantity like force vector operations like vector addition and subtraction are required and in this experiment this ...

Sakuntala: Symbolism in the Allusion to Plant Life

In Sakuntala, Act I, background of the scene was fully colored by nature and it was decorated with fresh flowers and cute creepers. The King Dushyant tried to kill a male deer that was stopped by a hermit and his team. Then, he changed his way to visit the hermit’s daughter who was taking care of the living and nonliving things in the hermit’s forest. He could see green groves, fully-grown grains, lovely birds, and blossoming flowers that show his future that he is going to meet such a wonderful and pleasant natured lovable girl who would ...

‘Winter has settled down over the Divide again; the season in which Nature recuperates, in which she sinks to sleep between the fruitfulness of autumn and the passion of spring. The birds have gone. The teeming life that goes on down in the long grass is exterminated. The prairie-dog keeps his hole. The rabbits run shivering from one frozen garden patch to another and are hard put to it to find frost-bitten cabbage-stalks. At night the coyotes roam the wintry waste, howling for food. The variegated fields are all one color now; the pastures, the stubble, the roads, the ...

Since time in memorial, the world has always been divided into several different classifications that showcases the disparity between nations. The most common example is the division of nations based on their wealth and power or the First, Second, Third and Fourth Worlds. Others classify nations through their location in the Hemisphere, while the rest would just generalized based on their region. For centuries, it is often notable that the Western half of the world is portrayed as the dominant nations and news reports would showcase just how advanced these countries have now become. Even if there are instances ...

In December 2010, Tarek Mohammed Bouazizi, a street vendor in Tunisia set himself on fire to protest the humiliation he suffered at the hands of a police patrol officer who assaulted him in the street and police officials who refused to hear his complaint. Bouazizi’s death would not only be the catalyst for the overthrow of Tunisian President Zine Ben Ali but would also be the spark to the overthrow of governments in Libya, Egypt and Yemen as well as civil war, protests and popular agitation in over ten countries across North Africa and the Middle East. While ...

Social media technology played a pivot role of support to protesters in Egypt, Iraq, and Tunisia. I had discussed and described the issues in a report titled ‘Arab Springs’ hoping it would support the cause of protesters. Arab Spring had an excellent use with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in the mission. User-friendly approaches made active users to come together for organizing protests in humongous volumes. Cutting across language barriers voice from different languages got translated through ‘transliteration’ technology to reach across the world. Anonymous peaceful supporters extended their support giving worthwhile ideas. Based on worldwide response through the power ...

Lebanon is one of the Arab countries that is characterized by its hold to sectarianism. This means that the country allows the co-existence of diverse kinds of religions within its territories unlike some Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia which 100% Islamic. At present, the majority of its population is Muslim (54% Muslims = 27% Sunnis and 27% Shias), about the second majority are the Christians (41%) and the rest (5%) constitute the minorities. The diversity in religion in Lebanon has significant effects to its political, social, and economic realm. In order to understand how the religion plays a crucial ...

Abstract

A body is said to be moving in a uniform circular motion if it is moving in a circle with a constant speed. The main objective of this experiment was to find the net force that acts on an object of mass m which moves in a circle of radius r at constant speed v and to confirm that the magnitude of that force is given by mv2/r.An experiment was done using centripetal force apparatus by hanging masses on it and computing the force required to stretch the string, the masses were then subjected to a rotational frequency and ...

Stravinsky was no stranger to pushing boundaries when he premiered the Rite of Spring in 1913. He had had immense success the previous year with his reimagining of the Russian folk tale of Petrushka. In that piece, as well, Stravinsky took liberties with his writing and the plot of the story. However, the liberties taken in the music for The Rite of Spring were far greater and more surprising than past compositions by him, or any other mainstream composer of the time. Coupled with the unusual choreography by Nijinsky, the event was understandably shocking to an audience unaccustomed to ...

Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky was one of the most representative and brilliant composers from the twenty century and had a big influence on the development of the modern music. He wasn’t known only for his skill as a composer, he was also recognized as a pianist, conductor and a great and valuable musician. Throughout his composing career, Stravinsky have experimented many styles in composition using different rhythms and harmonies but musicologists clearly defined three stylistic periods in his musical evolution. The first period was between 1908- 1923 and it was called “Russian period,” the second period was between 1923- 1953 ...

Nature plays a pivotal role in Chinese arts more so in poetry. From the earliest times, Chinese poetry has had a bit of nature and/or landscape as used to serve different functions. Right from the earliest eras, one cannot fail to see animals, whether real or fictions could be seen in poetry. Some of those animals are snakes, dragons and cicadas. Other forms of nature that are far too common in Chinese poetry are the sun, moon, mountains and they were meant to serve various functions. The Tang poems are a good example of the several ways in which ...

This essay will explore the compositional method and the harmonic innovations that Stravinsky used in his ballet “The Rite of Spring.” In order to capture all the ideas the essay will have three parts; the first part will be linked to the observation for the piece as a whole, the second part will be an analysis of the strategically features with examples from the score and the third part will be a cogent summary of the analysis that will imply the interpretation of the piece. “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky was premiered in 29 May 1913 at ...

The word shunga is translated into spring pictures. Spring is when all of the animal species of the world mate. The categories of spring erotic depictions are delegated to Japanese erotic illustrations, paintings and prints. The spring erotic depictions are explicit and detailed. The spring sexual depictions are also art of great beauty. The depictions frequently show fertility rites and the elated sex that is enjoyed between two people. Some of the spring depictions are heterosexual in nature; other illustrations of depict homosexual acts, good sex practices and mythology. The history of shunga as an art form will be ...

ABSTRACT

In the vibrating beam experiment, an aluminum cantilever beam was made to vibrate. An accelerometer transducer was used to convert the mechanical vibrations into a signal that was fed into an oscilloscope via a power supply. The oscilloscope mapped the signal into a sine curve and displayed it on the screen. The oscillations’ decay curve was studied and the beam’s damping ratio was determined. The decay curve’s logarithmic decrement was used to determine the beam’s damping ratio and its natural frequency. The beam’s damping ratio was observed to be underdamped at a damping ratio of ...

Introduction

The novel ‘Silent Spring’ was authored by Rachael Carson. The novel, ‘Silent Spring’ presents a vivid review of the manner in which the environment has been bargained or compromised by some of the most effective pesticides. An example of these pesticides is the DDT. Carson’s major argument in this book is based on the negative impacts of the pesticides that were used in agricultural activities. She insisted that the pesticides killed bugs. However, there was a more serious issue that she intended to address than just mentioning the obvious reason behind implementing the pesticide solution in agriculture. The ...

Introduction

The present study summarizes the works of Spring (2010), The American School: A Global Context, and Anderson (1988), The Education of Blacks in the South, 1860-1935. The summary particularly focuses on chapters 4 to 8 of Spring’s book and chapters 1 to 5 of Anderson’s work. The study also examines the social movement of the 19th century that resulted in the current system of public education. The proponents of the system believed that in addition to academics, the education would prepare the young Americans for citizenship. The movement aimed at establishing a public education that would provide ...

1. Why has the economy decreased in Egypt? The economic downturn of Egypt attributes greatly to the ongoing Arab Spring protests, which first emerged in 2011 following the deposition of longtime president Hosni Mubarak. Having first gained power over Egypt in 1981, Mubarak has introduced a series of economic policies that eventually deprived feasible opportunities for Egyptians, in turn driving many of them towards poverty. Soon thereafter, lack of economic opportunities have led the Egyptian government with little sources of revenue, which would have been instrumental for the introduction of social services for aiding people against poverty. 2. Why ...

Experiment 13

Simple Harmonic Motion Introduction The purpose for this experiment was to measure spring’s constant of a spring. In part 1, extension of the spring when a mass is hanged on it was measured. Six measurements for the extension were obtained for each mass used. All the measurements were used to determine the spring’s constant by plotting a graph of weight against extension. In part 2, six measurements of period were taken using different masses (same masses used in part 1). The measurements were then used to plot a graph of square of periods against mass. The equation ...

Oscillatory Motion

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the spring constant of a spring connected to mass and to determine the effect of varying mass on the period of oscillation. It was hypothesized that the increase in mass would lead to increase in the period of the oscillating spring.

Theory

Hooke’s Law According to Hooke’s law, the restoring force (F) of a stretched spring is proportional to its extension (x) (Mansfield and Colm, 39). F ∞ x F = - k x

Where F is the restoring force, x is the extension and k is a constant of proportionality called spring constant.

The negative sign indicate that the direction of restoring force is opposite that of extension. A graph ...

Sometimes I sit back and wonder if we deserve the honor of being called intellects. How can we call yourself the top crime of the society yet we cannot show a slight change to the society. Look around, I bet what can you see is an element of environmental pollution. Right back in our villages, there is high expectation from the people, waiting for a savior to save them from this encroaching problem of pollution. Look at the surrounding of this precious university. Litter every where. The administration and its entire staff, you included has failed. I think we ...

Aside from its rich culture and history, the Middle East or the Arab region is also known for its complex political regimes and cultures that is often seen as a religious conformist system that differs from the widely practiced democratic Western system. These Arab regimes are also known for practicing autocratic rule, which is often criticized by the globe for its oppressive rule and the lack of concern to people’s rights and needs. Decades of struggle and continuous conflict marred the region, leaving many helpless against these powerful regimes. However, as the international community remained powerless over these ...

The Arabic Spring is a sequence of uprisings, demonstrations and armed revolts against the government that happened in the Arab Countries in the Middle East in the early 2010. These are revolutionary waves of protests and demonstrations, civil wars and riots in the Arab countries that began on 18th December 2010. A number of the protests occurred because of the problems of unemployment, dictatorship rule, rising prices, brutality of security forces, as well as corruption that led to the privatization of state parastatal in the states. The term ‘Arab Spring’ in 2011 was disseminated by the media to refer ...

Critically examine Robert Dahl’s notion of procedural minimum as essential features of democratic system.

The recent wave of democratization has presented a major conceptual challenge to scholars. Many countries have moved away from authoritarianism, with the application of democracy in many settings. Even though the new political regimes in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and former communist world share important attributes of democracy, many of them differ greatly from democracies in developed countries. Robert Dahl has made profound contribution in determining the essential features that constitute democracy. He came up with the notion of procedural minimum as an essential feature of democratic system. Robert Dahl gives procedural minimum definition of democracy through his seven ...

Introduction

Social media is the current social trend that almost every person is using to get keep up with the current events and also interact with friends and families. It has also been used to provide information and persuade individuals to participate in certain activities as seen in the Arab Spring Revolution of 2011. From the statistical records by these social cites, Facebook users in Egypt had doubled during the Spring Revolution and even after the sites were temporarily blocked.

Problem statement

The continuous use of social media has left many researchers contemplating on the role of social media in social mobilization ...

Among the many hoax websites present in the internet this website (http://www.buydehydratedwater.com/) dealing with dehydrated water has been classified as a hoax website for two main points. First, it does not have a clear definition of dehydrated water. And second of all, it does not present a clear argument as to why their product should be patronized. The article has no scientific basis or whatsoever that will persuade people to stop drinking tap water, water from desalination plants or even water coming from the stream and the headwater (upstream). An emotional appeal was just used to persuade the people ...

Emma Bonino’s article “The Arab Spring Label is over. The Arab struggle for a better future is not” is an investigative look at the success and the failures of the Arab spring that started in Tunisia in the month of December 2010. Bonino argues that while the Arab Spring would be perceived as a sudden outburst, it was a gradual process of simmering emotions on the people about the authoritarian regimes in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and others. However, while looking at what happened in Egypt in the summer of 2013, one can almost certainly argue that while ...

Introduction

The end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century was the epoch of revolutions: political revolutions, social revolutions, arts revolutions, revolutions of minds. And these radical changes became the exact causes for music of that era to transform alongside. During this time the Russian identity was lost to the trends from overseas. When talking about culture among high society, all that was foreign and non-native was popular, even the language used was French, not Russian. Igor Stravinsky was one of small number of people who was trying to change that situation, mainly through his work. The ...

Article Review

Leon T. Hadar writes that the Arab Spring consists of uprisings against the government which are triggered by economic hardships (Tunisia and Egypt), religious and ethnic tensions (Syria and Bahrain) and tribal rivalries (Yemen and Libya). He opines that the elections which would take place in Egypt and Tunisia would enhance the power of the Islamist parties and thus propagate the tension between Christian Copts and Muslims. The economic liberalization of these two nations has been threatened by demands of imposing governmental control over parts of the national economy. Tribal clashes in Yemen, Libya and sectarian tensions in Syria ...

A spring chart is an analysis of a patient’s records that is used for the treatment of that patient (Gabriel, 2008). These records are obtained through testing and analysis. The tests are important because they assist the doctor obtain the data needed in the treatment of the sick person. The procedures are also vital for developing the spring chart, which directs the doctor on what how to diagnose illnesses. In addition, the spring chart contains the diagnosis code section, which provides an opinion concerning what form of treatment will be appropriate in a given health scenario or illness. ...

“Sympathy” is an unusual name for a poem; however, when one reads the poem he or she can understand why the poet gives this poem such a peculiar name. The poet is comparing the oppression of his race during the late ninetieth century and early twentieth century to a caged bird. Dunbar begins his poem, “I know what the caged bird feels, Alas!” That single word “alas” speaks volume. It could be expressing some truth that the poet finally understands; but this is not the case here; alas is an idiom for great grief or sorrow. Dunbar knows that ...

The invasion of Iraq was not morally just as it was a preemptive attack on a sovereign state. While international law recognizes the use of preemptive military action, the same ought to be sanctioned by the Security Council (Devetak et.al, 2011). The invasion was devoid of this international law requirement thus a moral justification would suffice only if Iraq had attacked any of the invading country; which would make the invasion a just war. Again, religious groups, more so the Catholics opposed the invasion on the basis that it was morally wrong to use preemptive and unilateral military action ( ...

Using color to make a scene truly come alive and create a distinct image for the reader is a true art form in poetry. Placing color at the forefront in the mind of the reader can take them away from the reality of reading black print on a white page and awaken the imagination, helping them to see what the writer was envisioning while writing, helping to bring home why it was important to the writer that imagery and color be a part of the reading experience for the reader. Two poems which feature heavy use of color to ...

The world in which we live is surrounded by a number of forces that may each act independently or jointly to keep nature in a state of equilibrium. A force is defined as either a push or a pull whose resultant effect may be either translational, or distortional (Andy, 2002). In this practical experimental undertaking, we investigate the distortional effect of force on objects. The main aim of this experiment is to prove the celebrated scientific law; Hooke’s Law. Aside from ascertaining the validity of the aforementioned principle, we proceed further to determine the spring ...
