The usage of adult language or slight sexual situations is the thing which may be useful in depicting some episodes, but of course it should be strictly banned ...

“Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the story that represents how people’s desires together with the assistance of higher forces carve up their destinies.

Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin instills the pangs of revolution in the hearts of the audience who bask in inspiration after watching the Odessa steps sequence in the film. A film, wherever it is made, has the reflection of the society and history of the community. Habermas has argued in his essay, Modernity: An Incomplete Project, that with the transition to modernism, art has made an endeavor to dissociate it from the social constrictions and become liberated, in the sense that it would be art for art’s sake. The avant garde artist would like to immerse the soul ...

Philip Auslander is probably one of the finest exponents of avant garde theatre who may be found living today. He has worked in several theatres over the world and in this interview with Performance Paradigm he delves into contemporary styles of theatre in the context of a constantly developing world of art and communication.

Auslander addresses the issues of performance in a constantly changing world. He talks about the importance of Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle which he describes as ‘one of the most important performance artists working today’. Auslander talks about the importance of endurance art in the context of ...

The early Renaissance was a period of great artistic change and creation. The period of the individual artist, the person at the center of artistic creation, had just began, while art started becoming more and more realistic. Religious subjects were still dominant in the iconography of the Early Renaissance artists, but these were now endowed with a worldly quality. This was the result of intellectual achievement in other cultural fields which led to the creation of a new philosophy surrounding the arts. At the same time this was a period of great commercial activity among the European cities which led to the creation ...

Culture has several different meanings, its definition is not limited to ones appreciation of food, music, art, language and literature. For some, culture refers to heritage or ethnic origin. One may also identify another's culture based on physical features. However, culture is more than just what meets the eye. There is a deeper context of culture that people need to understand in order to see the world in a wider and meaningful perspective. Culture is something that human use as a tool to survive and survival is determined by how people of different cultures adapt to the changes. This is because culture ...

Physiological contracts have been given so much importance in the recent years because there has been a bulging gap in the employment industry for such a long time involving what the employers expect from the employees and vice versa. However, the physiological contract which clearly states the expectations from the employee and the employer to provide a proper working condition and the maximum output realized at the end of a working day (Rose, 2008). This contract may be written or at times just implied. A reasonable employer would impose a manageable workload, an agreed clear role and involvement in issues regarding the employee among ...

People have powerful attitudes when it comes to their territory or what they call their ‘turf’. When a person enters the personal space of another, there is a tendency of the latter to feel intruded upon. It does not matter whether there is physical contact, the feeling and reaction is usually the same. The interpretation of this intrusion is usually negative. It will probably imply the intruder as mentally unstable, practicing unacceptable behavior or even having criminal intent in their action.

Some experts on the issue like Edward Hall, the first to study personal space, reported that Europeans and Americans from ...

The dispensation of judicial services in the US and particularly in the state of Texas has been faced by a myriad of problems. Most of these problems are caused by internal redundancies that have been in existence for decades. These have hindered efficient judicial services to the citizens and consequently reduced trust in the judiciary. This court management proposal looks at ways through which the state can ensure an improved judicial process and get rid of the backlog and delay characteristic of the courts. The paper suggests that the Victim Offender Mediation program be instituted to deal with less severe ...

On one sunny day in the city, I decided to relax in the park under a shade as I watched the city’s beautiful architecture as well as the people in it. My eyes rolled from corner to corner as I admired building and people and got amazed at the origin of such technology. It was amazing that man could think of erecting a structure that was much taller than they were and make it look so beautiful. As I thought about this, I was reminded of the different gifts and talents that people were endowed with. Thinking that for such a ...

William Shakespeare is one of the playwrights who are very famous in literacy works. He is a Briton born in the sixteenth century yet wrote poems and plays that offer a thrilling effect when watching or reading them (Sylvan, ix). All the plays are written in native English which incorporates even some Latin or Greek words. In the works written by Shakespeare, there is heavy use of various themes and a certain characteristic language pattern. In his books, he tried to evaluate several scenarios that are a dilemma even to the current generation. The language use even in the plays depict that ...

“Antigone” is one of three Theban plays written by Sophocles approximately in 442 BC. Chronologically, it is the third tragedy of the cycle, as the events in it happen last; however it was written first. The character of Antigone is unique and presents a huge historical interest, as it is the first female character in the world literature that fights against the power of men and exhibits great bravery comparing with those men who scorn her. This play is not only feminist; it is also very radical in wide meaning of this word, as it rebels against authority in general ...

The basic premise behind Director Judd Apatow’s comedy, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, is obvious from its title: its main character, Andy (Steve Carell), is still a virgin and his friends at work want to help him remedy that “problem” by attempting various schemes to help him lose his virginity. As with other comedies, Andy experiences many pitfalls, embarrassing moments, and humiliating situations before finally marrying an understanding woman, Trish (Catherine Keener), and having his first sexual encounter with her. A good comedy is difficult to make, but because the directing and acting in the movie is superb, The 40-Year-Old ...

(a) The price in the market for this perfectly competitive from when p1, the firm would desire to sell over a hundred units. This is because the prices of single units would have gone down. The firm would sell more units with a tiny profit margin on each unit to make profits. The firm will then sell more units so that it can accumulate more profits and be able to stay in the business. Economically, the firm would not be making tangible profits because the margin on each unit is very small. If the firm does not have other products it is ...

Films under the “teen romance” genre have continued to attract a large young audience especially in the modern society. Most films under this category have attained the best seller category over the past few years. There have been divided views concerning these films particular on their impact on the younger generation. Most of these films explore romantic aspects that affect teenagers on a daily basis. Teen movies have not been granted much consideration yet they showcase significant issues such as politics, gender, psychology and many others that affect the modern society.

The book, “The Hollywood Sign: The Culture of American Film ...

Many organizations in the contemporary world scenario realize the practical implications of effective and constant developmental training needs of their workforce. Such continual training sessions not only act instrumental ...

Throughout the history of literary criticism, a lot has been said about Shakespeare’s poetic wonders, his melancholy prince Hamlet and the power-mad Macbeth. They are like two sides of a coin, the good and the bad, both tainted in their tragic endeavor. As it is the case with most of his tragedies, the protagonists carry within themselves a tragic flaw, tainting them as Byronic heroes who despite their utter devotion to their cause, can never truly come out as winners. Despite the fact that one is the protagonist and the other antagonist of the play, their similarities are ubiquitous: they both ...

Taiwan has a magnificent movie industry. The movie industry in Taiwan is filled with talented actors, singers, dancers, and even personalities who excel in all of these three fields. The movies that will be reviewed for this paper are the movies “Invitation Only” and “Comedy Makes You Cry”. Both movies were filmed in Taiwan and the actors and actresses who filled the roles of the movie characters were either Taiwanese or of Taiwanese origins.

This movie was one of the blockbuster hits about 3 years ago. “Invitation Only” was considered to be a movie under three genres: crime, ...

Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of death in America. This is due to the multiple carcinogens contained within cigarette smoke which, when inhaled, mutate cells to create cancer and other conditions. Cigarettes also contain the addictive substance nicotine, which creates a physiological dependency upon smoking, leading the smoker to continue the habit. These two things lead to the development of a number of health problems, including emphysema, chronic obstructive lung diseases, cancer and more. A chronological account of the effects of cigarette smoking are outlined in this essay.

Cigarette smoking is universally regarded as one of the leading ...

Over the course of this process of creating, revising and specifying my research topic, I have discovered a great many things about myself and the process of research design. When I embarked on this mission to study the effects of new interventions in the defense language courses being conducted for military personnel, I first thought I would combine quantitative with qualitative methods of data collection and analysis to create a mixed methods approach. However, as I continued in my research, I realized I was far more concerned with the effect of the interventions in the DLIC on the students than just ...

The history of racism and discrimination is a common occurrence in various parts of the globe since the early civilizations. Many people were persecuted because of their religion, race, belief, and sometimes, because of their skin color. Westerners had developed this thinking when the colonialization period took place, and as they navigated towards the east. Each country has its own history of racial discrimination and even though it is deemed as an act against human rights, there are still racist thinking amongst people especially if certain events that has been perpetuated by a specific race or group. These days, people who ...

Tell me what is troubling you In the midst of where we are now staying Without any hope of going anywhere And you said to me, your city is full Of envy that disturbs the mind Instead of leaving me serene You citizens call me Chaicco For the deadly sin of gluttony Analysis of nine lines from Dante’s Divine Comedy after translation Dante’s Divine Comedy is amongst the greatest works ever written and this is demonstrated by its incredible staying power in all forms and languages. The nine ...

Love is considered by many fairy tales the most powerful magic. It is what has saved endless princes, kings, knights, heroes and what has driven them to save their princesses, queens, maidens. If this emotion is the most powerful of all, then it cannot be overcome by any type of potion or herb. For this reason, I believe that none of the couple in the Shakespeare’s comedy “The midsummer night dream” are truly in love. The only possible true love could be of that of Theseus and Hippolyta just because it wasn’t tested by any outside power. ...

The two atoms drifted toward one another, slowly and randomly at first, then with more urgency. The closer they became, ironically, the faster they flew. There were other atoms floating around this void, but an unseen force propelled these two at rates of speed that surprised both of them. Other atoms had made contact with one another, but at far lower rates of speed. The sheer speed made both of them glow a bright gold, although it was only a gold that you would have been able to see under a microscope.

When the atoms met, their speed created a violent shock that ...

I watched a clip called “Is there a Bomb?” from the film Man on a Ledge. The director is Asger Leth. The production designer is Alec Hammond. The art director is David Swayze.

Directors turn the script into the action on screen (“Film Director”). Directors are responsible for “casting, script editing, shot composition, shot selection, and editing” (“Film Director”). Directors must have creative vision regarding bringing the story to life. Casting the right actors to bring characters to life is crucial. Actors must be believable in their role. Editing the script to make the story flow better helps audiences understand the message ...

Did Terrorists Sink the Maine?

ABSTRACT 3 ANALYSIS 3 SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 4 INVESTIGATIONS 4 CONCLUSION 6

ABSTRACT The USS Maine sank in Cuban waters on February 15, 1898 under mysterious circumstances, kicking off the Spanish-American War. In this paper, the possibility of terrorist complicity in the sinking of the Maine is explored.

On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine suddenly suffered a catastrophic explosion while docked in Havana Harbor, Cuba. The ship had been sent there to guard American interests while the Cubans staged a revolution against Spain; with the ship ...

The humanitarian disaster in the Darfur region of Sudan has been brutal and persistent but resisted clear understanding of the internal factors that have driven the violence. Violence between the region’s nomadic and sedentary tribal groups has resulted in a death toll that some believe reaches into the hundreds of thousands among the region’s multi-ethnic tribes. In the modern era, resolving systematic ethnic violence on such a scale is a complex matter requiring substantial political and military international pressure. The content of media coverage from inside Sudan, in the Arab world and throughout the West has done little to improve ...

Telephones, fax machines and email have all made office communication faster and easier. At the same time, they have dealt a big blow to interpersonal, informal forms of communication. Email tends to be formal, telephone calls are normally short, perfunctory and scripted and opportunities for informal conversations over projects are rarer. Meetings cannot be held daily to facilitate brainstorming, and many companies are realizing that something valuable may be lost.

Informal interactions give opportunities for people to bounce ideas off of each other and solicit for personal opinions in a low pressure environment. Outside of formal meetings, outside of email messages ...

The 2006 film Babel, directed by Alejandro Gonzales Innarito, was written by Guillermo Arriaga from his own story idea. The film stars an ensemble cast, including Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal, Adriana Barraza, Elle Fanning, and others. The music features an Academy Award-winning original score by Gustavo Santaolalla, featuring both incidental music and original songs.

This film is a straightforward, gritty drama, which takes place in many different countries, including the United States, Morocco, Japan and Mexico, demonstrating several characters' seemingly interrelated lives and conflicts in the present day. In Morocco, an American couple (Pitt and Blanchett) are ...

I Killed My Mother by Andras Visky

This play which is set in post war Romania is indeed a powerful and wholly moving piece. It occurs during the times of the harsh dictatorship under Nicolae Ceaucescu and embodies the harshness under which Romanians had to live where this dictator was concerned. It also deals at length with the situation regarding the Roma minority who were constantly and consistently abused by the Romanian authorities. There is also the shocking leitmotif of the abandonment of children in orphanages by their parents, children who were treated extremely badly by the authorities as ...

This play is one of the best plays currently being shown at the West End and combines several stylistic differences such as allusions to Billy Wilder’s Twelfth Night and other influences such as Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’. The Zoo Dance Nation Company which was founded in 2002 by Katie Prince is a forward looking company which has already premiered a number of great shows at the West End. The play is full of spatial effects and includes a vast number of moves and hip hop characteristics rather similar to the Hegelian characteristic. However there is also an element of ...

In the poem “Mid-Term Break”, Seamus Heaney narrates about a death of his younger brother, who was four (522). The author, then young boy – eldest child in the family, found that his brother was hit by bus. Neighbors brought the author to his home from school. He saw his brother for the first time in six weeks on the funeral table. My personal impression from the poem is that it shows numbness of the author’s feelings and lack of any emotions. The narration is matter-of-factly and dry. We never find out was that because of his grief or because ...

The purpose of group therapy is to help individuals find a way of learning and developing their social skills. In this exercise, the dramatic processes are designed to help produce real-world situations without the pressures or actual, real-world circumstances.

The type of group which would benefit from my exercise is those dealing with social difficulties. The exercise itself involves dramatic therapy which allows for the individuals to be placed into no-pressure, social situations and learn how to manage these situations before applying them to a real life circumstance (Emunah & Johnson, 2009, p40). Dramatic exercises are excellent for improving social and communicative ...

The American Dream is, at worst, an abstract concept which is designed to convince people to live beyond their means and, at best, it is a strong ethos which has infiltrated American life at every level and allows people to dream and achieve their potential and beyond all in the name of patriotism and achievement. The idea, which was one closely associated with the vast swarms of immigrants who permeated and carved out their own piece of American culture during the late 1800s and early 1900s is now a cultural reference which features in an array of musical, literary and theatrical settings. ...

September 11th 2001. I was still in middle school at the time. The day started rather slow but soon everything turned upside down. A teacher run into the classroom, tears in her eyes. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. The TV was turned on and soon we learned about the tragedy. One of the World Trade Centers was hit by a plane. We watched in terror as journalists and just people tried to explain what was going on. Unforgettable images of the tower collapsing, of the plane hitting the second tower, of people dying in front of our eyes. For me ...

The concept of ‘Reverse discrimination’ has been a contentious form of discrimination alongside dominating group members or the majority in the society. Mostly, the members discriminated against are the marginalized in the society. Speaking of the groups, the term may be taken to comprise of the race, gender and the ethnicity among others. The concept of ‘reverse discrimination’ therefore intends to eradicate the marginalized group that is already under this bracket of discrimination. The concept may also be used to accentuate on the discrimination intrinsic in the affirmative action programmes. As Certo (2009) writes in part: the phenomenon was used ...

The western and the war film are both distinctly violent films – they are basically about revenge, defeating the adversary, and operating in a wilderness of sorts (the Old West, compared to the jungles of Vietnam or the beaches of Normandy). In many films of this genre, the protagonist is unfamiliar with the harshness of the environment around them – they are not accustomed to violence, and must find themselves in the process. Two such characters are, respectively, Mattie Ross in the 1969 western True Grit and Chris Taylor in the 1986 war film Platoon. Both are young, idealistic characters who slowly ...

Normal L. Keltner suggests that the film A Beautiful Mind is not a useful resource for the study of schizophrenia. The film discusses the life of John Nash who won a Nobel Prize in Economics and suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia in adulthood. Whilst the film does sensitively portray the difficulties that a schizophrenic person experiences, Keltner’s comment does have some strength behind it as a film could never be a truly empirical representation of anything – it also exercises some level of dramatic license in order to achieve the highest possible level of entertainment. From this point of view, A Beautiful Mind could ...

A Raisin in the Sun – Lorraine Hansberry Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun was first performed in 1959 and was an immediate critical and commercial success. It is justly celebrated for these reasons. Ray and Kundu (31) describe it as ...a milestone in women’s drama. It was the first play to be written by a black woman to be produced on Broadway, and the first play by a black woman to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. The play is based on Hansberry’s own experience as Adams (9) makes clear: “She ...

Bears are becoming increasingly well know, especially on the gay scene. The group is a subculture as its followers live a specific lifestyle, with certain beliefs and preferences. According to the Urban Dictionary, a Bear is: “A term used by gay men to describe a husky, large man with a lot of body hair” (Bear). The term “Bear” was originally popularised by Richard Bulger. In 1887, Bulger and his partner founded Bear Magazine (New). Bears are a subculture within the subculture of LGBT. While based on a description of a certain type of physical appearance, Bears also form an identity and a community on the gay ...

This is a structural system that does not hold the formal rules and regulations in an organization. It usually has no standardized procedures in handling the daily problems. In this system, hierarchies are not applicable and the system is low on formalization. It is best suitable for temporary goals. The system is highly flexible and very responsive in handling urgent situations, both quickly and efficiently, especially in dynamic environments (Abrahamson, 1993; Buchanan, 1985; Robbins, 1994; Bilton and Bonnet, 1997). Here, there is high horizontal specialization of jobs and the employees are professionals. A large part of the organization is ...

Synopsis

The Road Warrior known as Max lost his relatives to the bunch of criminals became a lonely man in the area. Max, the Road Warrior and his dogs are chasing the gangs and Max outruns them but he ...

In the photograph Everetta Bass Sitting in Rocking Chair Edward Bass depicted his one year old daughter, sitting in a chair on the front porch. Already at the first glance, one can understand the strong emotional coloration of the picture. The photographer isn’t trying to be unbiased, but rather makes his daughter stand out, demonstrating his strong affection for her.

Everetta Bass is depicted in the centre of the photograph, leaving the audience without any doubt about the main subject of the work. Her posture looks surprisingly mature and strongly resembles the position an adult would take. However, her laughing face ...

Work place training becomes essential in situations whereby an employee is performing sub optimally due to a lack of knowledge, skills as well as due to inadequate experience. Work place training is also vital when introducing new work place procedures as well as when orienting an old employee to a new position (Rothwell and Kazanas, 2004). This work place training plan is designed for the former situation whereby a new employee is not performing up to par due to developmental problems. It will highlight the process used in determining the employee’s training needs, the purpose of the training, the people to ...

In an article titled: “Sensitive and advantageous periods in first language learning: What are the implications for very young Japanese learners of English?” As obtained from the International Journal of language, society and culture issue 16-2006 lays emphasis on the importance of exposing learners of English as a second language to the second language at their critical period.

English is an international language spoken widely in the world. It is used in most countries for commerce especially international trade, education and technological developments. For these reasons many countries have seen the need of having their citizens to learn English. This ...

Internationally, literacy is an increasingly prevalent social issue. In America, this is more the case than ever with the cost of illiteracy being over $20 billion per year (ReadFaster.com). Many may argue that this rising problem is due to an increase in other forms of entertainment such as video games, which are much more enticing to children and, as a result, reading becomes less of an option. However, reading is not solely for entertainment and in the earlier stages of education, literacy must be seen as an integral aspect of any form of curriculum: reading should be perceived as a life ...

‘Obsessions’ is a piece of physical theatre, largely encompassing the medium of dance (Tempah, 2011). The overall theme, as its name suggests, concerns obsession and how people can be affected by it in their day to day lives. The piece incorporates many dance and dramatic techniques. There are several sequences and motifs which are repeated, and a variety of obsessions are depicted. Influences for the piece include Martha Graham and Jerzy Grotowski. ‘Obsessions’ encompasses both ensemble and individual elements. The piece is shaped around a day, starting with waking up and ending in the same fashion. The dance begins with ...

Information life-cycle management (ILM) is a concept, which emerged in response to the growing amount of information and relatively high storage costs. In the core of this activity is determining information needs of a company, and evaluating the appropriate level of expenditures on its storage. It is based on the assumption that information follows a particular life-cycle, from capturing to an eventual decline. At each stage, information has different value for the company, therefore requiring different measures to insure its safety.

One of the most common approaches to ILM is assessing cost structure, which is usually represented by the total cost of ...

Betrayal of the people by political elite, which is the central theme in William Shakespeare’s play, The tragedy of Julius Caesar will always remain a major concern in the modern world. For this reason, this play will forever continue to be relevant to the curriculum. William Shakespeare portrays the political elite as self centered individuals who betray the very people who elected them into leadership positions. Presidents and leaders make empty promises that they fail to fulfill. The death of Caesar further demonstrates this, as the Roman citizens’ object to the killing of their charismatic leader, who ...

Self-actualization in an individual who is still in the university cannot follow the Maslow’s hierarchy due to some reasons. As Kriz (2006) observes, Maslow’s hierarchy follows the order of an individual satisfying the basic needs first before reaching self-actualization. Self-actualization to a university student is brought mostly by need to acquire high self-esteem. In such a case, self-actualization is realized when the individual is respected and recognized by his peers. In the event that this does not happen, the student eventually feels depressed. When the feeling to have self-esteem emerges, individuals tend to develop a feeling that they are suffering ...

The current demographic, economic, and career paths trends are changing the more traditional conceptualizations of midlife as defined by certain roles or a stage of parenthood or of marriage (David, 1998). Traditionally middle age has involved middle years of parenting and career peaking with the later phase of midlife being a time of relinquishing the employment and parenting of children. However, given economic recess, many middle age individuals are reconsidering and delaying the anticipated retirement age hence the age /cohort boundaries of midlife are not static and are likely to continue to evolve with further demographic, economic, and social/health policy changes ( ...

‘Angels in America’ a play that has become a success story in the mainstream drama in America acts. The play’s setting is both political and religious in nature as it was down played in the backdrop of politics in 1980s that was characterized by religious believes that defined the American culture. Gay – a disparate group were made to lead the plays (Kushner, 1992). This group of people is however a serious threat of contracting Aids forcing them to straight- face the specter through teaching themselves on better ways to support themselves. The play is divided into two part with ‘Millennium Approaches’ being ...

1. Adam Smith and Karl Marx were perhaps the most well-known economists of their time, however, their viewpoints on economics and economic development differed to a great extent. Adam Smith is most famous as a founder of the Classical Economics and a strong supporter of economic freedom and trade. Unlike mercantilists, Adam Smith tried to establish principles, which could benefit the whole nation, rather than some individuals. In his book “Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” he introduces the term “system of natural liberty”, which is equivalent to the current definition of capitalism. According to Smith economic freedom ...
