It was a beautiful sunny day with white clouds sailing in the blue sky. I kept walking enjoying the breeze blowing in the face. Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly realized it was very dark and I was lost in forest so deep where I could not even see the stars. Apparently I walked into a dimensional portal that transported me into a different place. I am no longer in a dark forest but I was now floating in the middle of a galaxy. The short time that I could not see the stars was replaced with the most ...

Understanding the nature and connection between the mind and the body is less about finding one definite answer and more about the lasting implications that arise when probing into such a question. What does it mean to be a human being? Is humanness simply the body, or is it the desires and inclinations that make up our complex personalities? Are mind and soul one and the same? These questions arise in the Star Trek episode, “The Measure of a Man,” where Picard and Maddox view the same thing, Data, in two different ways. Maddox is initially guided by the ...

Advertising has for ages used women and more female celebrities to drive their sales, a strategy that has evolved over the ages but holds the primary concept. This strategy stands to date by exploiting many flaws that young women exhibit and capitalizing on them by creating the illusion that if they by the subject’s products they some way parallel the success of the personnel used by the marketer. A recent case suiting this context is the Vanity Fair Holly Wood 2016 magazine cover. The magazine’s cover featured a trifold cover image that was shot by Annie Leibovitz ...

Neutron Stars: The ‘Death’ of a Death Star

Introduction: Neutron stars are dense, compact masses of subatomic particles (called ‘fermions’) compressed by great gravitational forces (Reisenegger 1). They are classified into three groups: the radio pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars that are predictable pulsators of radio waves due to its fast (Landau n. p.; Reisenegger 2) although sometimes slow (Fuller, et al. 1) rotation; magnetars, which neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the universe and violently burst high-energy X-ray and gamma rays (Landau n. p.); nonrotating binary neutron stars, which are emitters of x-rays (Reisenegger 3); and PSR ...

Reflection and Refraction of Light

REFLECTION: Reflection of light is the change of direction that light experiences when it collides with an object and "bounces." The reflection of light makes it possible to see objects that do not emit their light . There are several applications of the reflection. One example is the "The Laugh House" of an amusement park, the person will probably see a very distorted image in a curved mirror. Similar deformations occur in the concavity of a shiny spoon or on the polished surfaces of a coffee machine or a car. Images look different due to irregular surface curvature; They have ...

The political elements of Star Trek show that the series had more insight than what is apparent. The show started in the 1960s when the Cold War was at its height. Many authorities argue that Star Trek is an exploration based on self-interest, colonialism, collectivism and control . However, George Gonzalez takes a different approach in The Politics of Star Trek where he undertakes a critical review of the story within the context of the actual implications of the actions of the characters. This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Topology refers to the way in which computer networks are connected. It is the interconnection configuration that is responsible for providing effective communication. It involves connecting devices, arranging nodes and cables (Rouse, 2016). There are different types of network topologies, and each of them has specific tasks. In this paper, the differences between the topologies will be discussed.

In this kind of topology, all devices are connected to a common shared cable. The name of the cable is a bus. Thus, there is a way in which all devices are directly connected to each other in the network. For ...

Over the past 25 years, IBM has been divesting from a number of its core businesses. IBM’s core businesses have over a similar period been faced with numerous challenges. As a result, sales and revenue have been declining over the years. However, the paradox of all this is that despite the declining sales and revenue, IBM’s stock value has been rising, a welcome situation for its shareholders (Henschen). The increase in share value despite a shrinking IBM illustrates a shift in the evaluation of companies over the years. Focus has shifted from a company’s value based ...

Introduction

One could hardly imagine a resident of the developed country who has never delved into such aspect of popular culture as sport – either by buying a soccer ticket, buying exactly the same sneakers model David Beckham was wearing in that Adidas commercial, following the Olympics on TV or hunting some rare baseball cards. In the modern world, sport activities have become extremely different from the leisure games they used to be as they were invented. In the recent decades, significant societal, economic, political and cultural transformations turned sport not just into a socially meaningful phenomenon but rather in an ...

If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009, n.p.).

In its initial stages, the hotel industry provides renting space for people who were travelling from one place to another.

The classification of the hotels using the star system is also partly based on the products, services, and ...

Throughout the history, there were created many films that involved the elements of sex and sexuality. One of such films is Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 movie, Boogie Nights which describes the pornography business in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. In this industry viewers have a chance to meet a lot of characters which are passing through different problems.

Considered by many to be the most successful athlete of all times, Michael Jordan benefited from multiple combining physical and temperamental advantages. They helped him to become a basketball star and then a giant brand name. He was not only extremely talented, but also extremely disciplined, hard-working and competitive, which caused him to be remarked as a future star from high-school. However, as an NBA star, his entertaining playing style, and his extreme drive which caused him to see every match as a life and dead struggle, contributed to the popularity he gained among basketball fans. His unique set ...

While sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present and future generations, and a focus on prevention of environmental degradation, several factors influence the attainment of these goals, specifically culture and organizations. Sustainable development as a concept first appeared in the Brundtland Report of the World Commission on Economic Development (Buchanan 29). The Brundtland Commission was established in 1985 to address environmental problems due to economic development. Atmospheric pollution, climate change and global warming, accumulated wetlands, decreased freshwater quality, topsoil degradation, endangered species of animals and fishes, and forest degradation were environmental concerns discussed in the Brundtland Commission ( ...

In the modern world, media is an important tool of communication that forms a message and sends it to a wide audience for analysis and interpretation. The message of mass media is usually rather clear, but when it assumes specific attitude in a controversial issue, the public frequently starts to blame media.

This paper aims to discuss the issue of homosexuality in mass media as exemplified by Campbell’s Soup ad Your Father (30s). One should say that gay tolerance is an essential part of the ...

The Greek philosopher Aristotle first led the discussions on the concept of genre in order to create a distinction between multiple works of text based upon their common characteristics.

Walt Disney Pictures released the 3D animated Zootopia in 2016 (IMDb). Directed by Rick Moore and Byron Howard, the film takes place in a city occupied by animals that act and speak like humans. While directed toward children, the film also has adult humor; for instance, while doing a math problem, Judy Hopp states, “I mean, I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying.” Regardless of the humor and juvenile presentation, the timely theme of Zootopia is racial prejudice. The plot of the movie is the partnership between a con artist red fox and a ...

A sports endorsement deal is whereby a company makes an agreement with an athlete for marketing purposes. The sports personality is usually at the peak of his or her career and rides on a huge wave of success. This situation makes the individual very famous; and as such, any brand that markets itself using the athlete's name is sure to sell its products. The athlete, on the other hand, is supposed to show support for that particular product or brand. In return, he or she gets compensation. A good example is Michael Jordan who endorsed the Nike Air Jordan ...

It is very rarely that a story could have an effect on the reader. This is why I am thankful that I encountered Wendy Mass’ “Every Soul a Star.” As I read though the story, I was able to relate to the experiences of the main characters.

In the story, three young people went through life changing experiences in a place called Moon Shadow Campground.

At first glance, Dr. Suess’ story The Sneetches seems to be a metaphor about race, and the changing social narrative about race in America. For example, the Star-Belly Sneetches could be a stand-in for white people, while the Plain-Belly Sneetches are analogous to black people. The Sneetches’ flip-flopping between wanting to be star-bellied and wanting to be plain-bellied could be analogous to the way black and white people have wanted to exchange races, based on whichever race is seen as “better” or “cooler” per its portrayal in popular culture. In the end, the Sneetches realize that neither being star-bellied ...

For a long time different scholars have tried to exploit the true dimension of religion. The fact is religion cannot be compared to an objective thing, like a clock or a chair. Geertz (1966) observed religion as “a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence” (Geertz, p90 1966). With reference to chapter four of Religion as a Cultural System by Geertz’s (1966), the paper will exploit the role of symbols including the scientology cross in the Church of Scientology.

Introduction

Texas has had a colorful history since the beginning of time. It then became a nation, and then a state. Traditional history writers have often taken the path of romanticizing the events in history and rationalizing on why they had to occur. Oftentimes, the premise was always the proclamation of the superiority of the Anglo-American over the Native American and Mexican occupants of the land. Modern historians like Fehrenbach, Crisp and others have endeavored to write history in the context of how the events really happened, coming to their own conclusions as to how these events occurred, and avoiding ...
