Nature Essay
Writing an essay on the topic of nature may initially seem like a straightforward task, given the
vastness and beauty of the subject. However, delving into the intricacies of nature requires a
nuanced approach that goes beyond mere admiration. The challenge lies in capturing the essence
of the natural world while addressing various aspects such as ecological balance, biodiversity,
and the interconnectedness of all living things.
One of the difficulties is finding a unique angle or perspective that sets your essay apart from the
multitude of existing nature-themed compositions. The danger is in succumbing to clichГ©s or
falling into the trap of generalizations. It demands a delicate balance between scientific precision
and poetic expression, blending factual information with a personal connection to the natural
world.
Researching the topic is another hurdle. Nature is a vast subject with numerous branches –
from biology and ecology to philosophy and literature. One must sift through a plethora of
information to discern what is relevant and essential for the essay's coherence. Striking the right
balance between scientific accuracy and engaging prose requires a careful selection of sources
and an in-depth understanding of the chosen subtopics.
Moreover, crafting a compelling narrative that seamlessly weaves together observations, facts,
and emotions is no small feat. Conveying the profound beauty of nature through words is a
challenge that writers have grappled with for centuries. The struggle to articulate the sensory
experiences and translate the awe-inspiring visuals into a textual format can be both humbling
and frustrating.
Additionally, maintaining a coherent structure poses its own set of challenges. The essay must
progress logically, leading the reader through a journey that explores different facets of nature.
This requires thoughtful organization and transitions between ideas, preventing the essay from
becoming a disjointed collection of thoughts.
In conclusion, while the topic of nature may seem like a broad and accessible canvas, writing an
essay that does justice to its complexity and beauty demands careful consideration, thorough
research, and a delicate balance between various elements. It is a task that requires both scientific
precision and creative expression to capture the essence of the natural world in a way that
resonates with the reader.

Van Gulik, Robert. Celebrated cases of Judge Dee. Tokyo: Dover Publications INC,
1949. Robert Van Gulik was a Dutch diplomat stationed in various countries mostly
in Japan and China. He also attained a PhD for dissertation on the horse cult in
Northeast Asia even though he made a career in the Dutch diplomatic service he was
a very well educated man on Asian Culture. Van Gulik translated the 18th century
detective novel Dee Goong An into English under the title, Celebrated Cases of Judge
Dee. He is also the known author of, The Chinese Maze Murders, The Chinese Bell
Murders, and The Chinese Lake Murders. Judge Dee s main thesis is to represent a
perspective of the people and culture of China through an analysis of ancient
Chinese criminal justice. We should value Van Gulik s scholarship because he spent
a major part of his life immersed in Asian culture as a diplomat. His ability as a

Which was typical punishment for most violent crimes at the time. Punishments like
this such as the death penalty are used today not as common as they were in ancient

These methods used in ancient China may be effective may as a deterrence to

Why the World Needs Heroes
Sister Helen Prejean is a Roman Catholic nun that is member of the Congregation
of St. Joseph, as well as an advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. Prejean is
not only a hero for the accused that have no voice, but many members of the
catholic church look up to her as an inspiration for serving her faith as well as
being a genuine well hearted person. Prejean is a hero because she doesn t seek
publicity in her acts. She truly wants to help people no matter of the severity of
their past actions. For many years, Prejean has devoted her life to serve her faith
that millions of people share. She sacirficed Marriage, money, children, and time to
help and comfort people in need like the ones on death row. The important thing is
that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small
that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go (Sister Helen Prejean).

causes a ripple effect that causes more and more people to catch the contagious

had such harsh ways to kill people that weren t considered a superior race . The Jews
at Bergen Belsen had heard of the gas chambers and how they looked like normal
showers so they began to get scared. They were told to take a shower once a month
and thinking about the chambers can make them anxious. All they were told was
that they were to get undressed and to take a shower but they didn t know what was
going to come out of the shower head. It was either water like they were being told,
or it could ve been Zyklon B, the poisonous gas used to kill hundreds of Jews. This
is important to know because many mass amounts of people were killed by the

leadership in any facets of the society. In fact, they are permeating every domain of
activities with assertiveness and proven competence, and making in roads into
hitherto male monopoly of executive management roles in organizations especially in
the developed countries. This study will seek to gain an insight into the leadership

that the results of the study when disseminated through publication, will inform
prospective female head teachers in basic schools about the challenges that they
should anticipate and the various strategies they can employ to surmount the
situation. It is hoped that this will encourage female head teachers who have similar

The And Its Effects On The Populations
Honeybees are important pollinator in the ecosystem, which provide pollination to
crop. Most of the crops are relied on the pollination of honeybee for reproduction.
However the colonies of the honeybees are affected by a syndrome, which causes
the population of honey bee decrease rapidly in winter. Honey bee undergoes a
serious pressure from Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD), which is a mysterious
problem. It causes a dead colony occurs with no adult bees or dead bee bodies can
with the queen, honey and immature bees still present in the colony. Honey can be
found in the hives, but the adult bees are losses from the colonies. The scientific
cause for CCD is still undetermined, but the predictive causes of the syndrome are
pathogens, parasites, management stressors, and environment stressors. It begins
from 2006 that the beekeepers reported losses of 30 90 percent of their bees. To
prevent the further lost of honeybee in the United States, ARS and the National
Institute of Food and Agriculture develop a Colony Collapse Disorder Action Plan to
help solve the problem. The decreasing of honey bee population caused by Colony
Collapse Disorder has huge impacts on the agriculture in the United States.
Honey bee is an important pollinator in the ecosystem and plays an important role
in the agriculture. Pollination can increase the value of crops for up to 15 billion
dollars ( Colony Collapse Disorder Action Plan. ). 1.3 million out of 2.4 million bee

What makes Good Characters Good in Dracula by Bram

In the book Dracula by Bram Stoker, he portrays the good characters as people who
would wilfully go out of their way to help people without expecting anything in
return. Some examples of this would be Dr. Van Helsing and his friends and people
who try to help Lucy get back to normal. An example of why Van Helsing is so good
is that when Dr. Seward asked him to come help Lucy when she was sick, he
stopped whatever work he was doing and went to help Dr. Van Helsing was a vital
part in helping to stop Draculabecause he was an expert on Vampires. One of the
reasons that makes the good characters in this book good is that they are not helping

Mina Murray is the fiancГ©e of Jonathan Harker. She is portrayed as a good
character in the book because she is shown as a really kind hearted and vivacious
school mistress that always seems and is innocent and helps in anyway that she is
able too. Mina is Lucy Westerna s best friend and she is a very intelligent and
resourceful young woman who eventually leads Dr. Van Helsing s men to Castle
Dracula. The book describes how Lucy Westerna is a nice young woman and her
best friend is Mina Murray. She is the first one to fall under Dracula s spell. She is
a good character because even though she got transformed into a Vampire she still
tried to do everything that she could to help the others stop Dracula while she was
not under Draculas spell, she was really cooperative with Dr. Van Helsing when he
tried to hypnotize her to find out where Dracula was and that was a very important
part in helping to stop Dracula because it was able to show them were Dracula was
and helps them find out what he is trying to do at the time and she was not truly evil
at heart like Dracula is. Eventually Lucy s body returns back to normal with the help
of Dr. Van Helsing and the others when they defeated Dracula. All of the characters

Research Paper On Arthur Eddington
Arthur S. Eddington was an English astronomer, born on Dec. 28, 1882, at
Kendal, United Kingdom. His father Arthur Henry Eddington was a school
teacher, died when Eddington was just two years old. His family had to move to
Weston, where he was raised. From 1893 to 1898, Arthur Eddington had attended
Brynmelyn School, where Eddington quickly distinguished himself, mainly in
mathematics and English literature. As a child Eddington was very intelligent, and
by his own account had mastered the multiplication table before he could read. He
received his bachelor s degree in 1902 from Owens College, Manchester, and later
he immediately proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge. At Cambridge Eddington
placed first in the mathematical examination in his second year, for him it was an
unprecedented achievement. According to NY Times, In 1905 he took his bachelor
s degree from Cambridge University; in 1907 he became Smith s Prize winner and
was elected a fellow of Trinity College; and in 1909 he obtained his master s degree.
Aside from being an astronomer, he was also a physicist, and a mathematician.

Police Law Enforcement Protection And Citizen s Civil...
In 1991, nearly 10% of all United States murders occurred in New York City (La
Vorgna, 2012). The United States civil liberties grant citizen s rights and freedoms as
determined by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Every citizen has the right to walk
their streets without being racially targeted by police. They also have the right to
roam these streets without being mugged or killed. Both are civil liberties. Amidst
times of racial and ethnic animosity, this country faces a problem between law
enforcement protection and citizen s civil liberties. Stop and frisk is a policing
tactic where officers stop, question, and frisk a civilian based on reasonable
suspicion of criminal activity. Many argue the New York Police Department s
(NYPD) use of stop and frisk is an obvious violation of the Constitution and is
based on racial discrimination. The Supreme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS) has heard many controversial cases dealing with this exact problem.
Cases such as Terry v. Ohio and Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin s partial ruling of
Floyd v. City of New York have greatly impacted both law enforcement tactics and
the meanings of certain civil liberties. An analysis of the United States judicial
history and the biased decisions of Judge Scheindlin shows the NYPD s use of stop
and frisk tactic is not only constitutionally reasonable, but a non discriminatory way
of reducing crime. During 1968, Terry v. Ohio established the legal precedence for
stop and frisk. The fourth

How Did Nicolaus Copernicus Influence The Renaissance
The world of astronomy is filled with famous names, such as Galileo and Newton.
However, one of the most significant astronomers during the Renaissance era was
Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus s first interest in astronomy blossomed into a life of
creating astronomical theories. These theories would not only shape the world of
science, but transform the Renaissance and history itself. Nicolaus Copernicuswas an
extremely significant figure in history because he was a scientist, he challenged the
RCC, he used Classical World ideas, and he modeled the spirit of the Renaissance.
Nicolaus Copernicus made many scientific advancements during the Renaissance. For
example, one of the new theories he created was heliocentric theory. Heliocentric
theory... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Copernicus s new heliocentric theory caused trouble with the church. The Church
believed in geocentrism, the theory that the Earth, Jerusalem specifically, was the
center of the universe. Copernicus s theory contradicted the Church s teachings,
which made him hesitant to publicize his ideas. Copernicus feared the punishments
he would receive from the Church and other Christians for his ideas. However, in
1530, he began to share his theory among other scholars. He received positive
feedback for his theory, and thirteen years later, he was convinced to publish his
ideas in a book called De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions on
the Heavenly Spheres). Many people rejected Copernicus s ideas; in fact, Martin
Luther once stated, This Fool wants to turn the whole Art of Astronomyupside down.
While his book did convince some people to accept heliocentric theory, the book
was not widely published, it was difficult to read, and the book was very expensive,
causing the book to gain little attention. Even with the lack of publicly, the Church
placed Copernicus s book on the list of forbidden books. Nonetheless, Copernicus s
choice to publish his theory, although it was not widely accepted, was extremely
significant, because without this choice, heliocentric theory may never had been
discovered or publicly shared with the

narrative of the early church s development from the resurrection of Christ through
the first three decades of the Church as the gospel spread throughout the ancient
Mediterranean world until it reached Rome. Addressed to Theophilus, the same
patron as that of the Gospel of Luke, Acts is believed to have been written as a
sequel to the gospel. The book of Acts serves as a bridge between the life of Christ
presented in the gospels with the life of the early church as revealed through the
remaining New Testament writings. Luke records the very beginnings of the church
under the Apostles leadership, specifically with Peter as the head of the Church in its
earliest stage. He records the miracles wrought by the Apostles, the divine

A.D. 180), the author of Acts was widely identified as Luke, a Syrian from
Antioch, a doctor by profession who had been a disciple of the Apostles and who
had been the companion of Paul until Paul s martyrdom. He was said to have
written the Gospel of Luke along with Acts, and to have died unmarried in Boeotia
in Greece a the age of eighty four. This traditional view would place the time of
writing within the seventies or eighties of the first century. Modern times have
brought many challenges to the traditional view by numerous biblical scholars. The
author cannot be proven decisively to have been one of Paul s companions who was
a physician and therefore must be Luke the physician. At the same time, the
traditional view has yet to be conclusively proven wrong and many would prefer to
believe the tradition of the Church than the hypotheses of individual

How Did The Gold Rush Affect Immigration
The Gold Rush had an enormous impact on immigration globally, as it brought
people from all over the people. People from countries such as China, Mexico,
France and other parts of Europe came to California in hopes of finding gold and
living a happy life. Not only did the presence of immigrants help the cities grow
physically, the immigrants who came from across the globe helped the cities grow
culturally and economically. These immigrants brought with them their own
language, culture, and beliefs. They helped make Californiavery rich and diverse in

6,500 Californians (people of Spanish or Mexican descent); 700 foreigners
(primarily Americans); and 150,000 Native Americans . As immigrants began
settling in, the population of California territory grew exponentially. As stated in
history.com, the non native language of the California territory was some 100,000
by the end of 1849. This was a hundred times was than the population in California
prior to the discovery of gold (1848). In 1845, the population in the city of San
Francisco was around 400, but by 1860, when the rush had decelerated, the
population was well over 56,000. The state s population by the end of 1860 was
380,000. The immigrants who traveled to California were very diverse, coming
from China, Mexico, Ireland, France, and even as far as Australia. France alone
drew 30,000 immigrants. China attracted 20,000 immigrants in the year 1852
alone, as many as 2,000 immigrants arrived in a single day. (Rice) Even though
there was a rich diversity in the ethnicity, there was a small diversity in gender as

Heart of Darkness and the Dehumanization of Africans
The Western world, generally speaking, is not kind to Africa and its native
inhabitants. We acknowledge Africa s existence, but we do not want to see or
understand anything about it beyond the obvious: overt things that are open to
criticism like Apartheid (a European invention). The occasional praiseworthy entity is
given momentary applause, but felicitations are short lived and quickly forgotten.
These statements refer just to politics, so one can imagine the rightful indignation by
twentieth century African writers when their work is largely ignored in favor of such
enlightening fare as Heart of Darkness. One writer, Chinua Achebe, seeks to change
this view by illustrating ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Unfortunately for Achebe, many people still think of Africaas a shadowy place
containing secret knowledge about the beginnings of mankind and how man would
exist if he were not civilized. However, he does not let that stop him from doing his
best in his novels to counter that supposition. Okonkwo is far from being a thing
monstrous or an inhabitant of prehistoric earth . . . that wore the aspect of an
unknown planet (Conrad 108). He is a complicated man living in a complicated
society. He has faults, strengths, and desires, and he would hardly worship a Kurtz if
one happened to show up in Umuofia one day. Yes, Okonkwo and his fellow Igbo
have some strange customs, but as Achebe points out in his essay, Yonkers, New
York, has its own share of strange customs and rituals that a stranger might find
primitive on the surface (2). This information would come as no shock to many
anthropologists, nor would it seem strange to others (except, perhaps, the residents of
Yonkers), but it is the attitude of Westerners that really bothers Achebe, not the lack
of information.
The African is corrupt through and through . . . equality won t alter facts, (Achebe,

What Is Willie Stark s Tragic Flaw
In the story all the kings men by Robert Penn Warren, Willie Stark is a Tragic hero,
this is because Willie Stark has a Tragic Flaw something all tragic heroes have. Thus
his Tragic Flaw is hubris.
One aspect of Willie Stark that contributes to his hubris is his high status, with his
high status more people know who he is and more people respect him and his
power, this is shown when in the story Willie Starkand his group arrive at a
drugstore and a woman working at the counter see s him, one of the girls ladling up
ice cream happened to see him and got a look on her face as though her garter belt
had busted in church (Robert Penn Warren5). This shows that Willie Stark is of such
high status that even someone as low in the social chain ... Show more content on

Hubris is excessive pride which is essentially arrogance however Willie is blind to
his arrogance as he often treats people like judge with very little respect, thus this
is shown when Willie is meeting with the judge and he takes a drink of the judges
without asking, Aw, have a drink the Boss said , and laughed on the red carpet
(Warren 44). This shows that Willie doesn t respect that this is the judges house,
thus he treats it like its his own. Later in the story as the judge and Willie
conversation becomes more intense Willie becomes even more rude and even
more disrespectful,so much so that the judge tells willie, Ill thank you sir, to get
out of that chair and get out of this house! (Warren 47). However instead of
listening to the judge and leaving, Willie says, Jack, he said, you were sure right.
The judge don t scare easy (Warren 47). Thus this shows that Willie doesn t take
the judge very seriously and decides to continue to make rude remarks even though
he wants the judges endorsement. However what makes Willies arrogance worse
is simply is his overall blindness to his own hubris, as he doesn t even realize how
rude he actually is being instead he just ignores it. A example of this would be
when in the beginning of his career when Willie is giving speeches he is
completely blind to the fact that they re really awful and his own self pride and
confidence make him think that they re way better than they actually are.
However everyone close to him realizes that they re awful including sally who tells
jack, You know, she said, jabbing out the butt savagely in the cup and looking at it
not me, you know, even if somebody told him. Even if he found out he was a
sucker, I believe he might keep right on (Warren 75). Thus proving Willies blindness

The United States economy grew by an average of 4 percent per year between 1992
and 1999 (Pethokoukis, 2015).
The year 1991 began with the United States in a recession. Although short lived,
ending in March, it lasted nearly 9 months. Many factors played a role in this
recession, beginning with the stock market crashing in 1987. Another factor was the
savings and loan crisis in 1989, which according to Kimberly Amadeo was
considered the greatest bank collapse since the Great Depression. (Amadeo, n.p). The
Gulf War, which began in 1990, was another factor contributing to this recession
causing an increase in gas and oil prices.
The economic prosperity of the 1990s was mainly due to the internet and the huge
increase in technology industries.
Personal computers and the Internet came of age, bringing a revolution in the
efficiency of processing information and making workers more productive.
Manufacturing companies embraced more efficient production methods (Jackson,
2007).
President Bill Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act in 1993, which
raised taxes and cut spending. Many credit this bill with helping set the stage for the
large budget surpluses of the late 1990s because the increased marginal tax rates
generated billions of dollars in revenue for the federal government.
From November 14 through November 19, 1995 and from December 16, 1995 to
January 6, 1996 the U.S. government was shut down as a result of a budgetary
impasse between Congress and

Who Am I Am Essay
PASSport Essay #1 The question who am I ? Can have a lot of individuals thinking
about themselves, including myself because one might not know where to start. It
is a very broad question, but having done the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, I
realized more in depth what kind of person I really am based on my top 5 strengths.
Who I am as a learner, who I am in my career and who I am as a person of faith lead
me to answering the question above and understandingmore of myself within. First
off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn t
take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I
failed. I believehaving classmates at the time who weren t as focused as I wanted to
be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I
felt learningwas so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I
needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very
well. Rath (2007) explains that, The process, more than the content or the result, is
especially exciting for you (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I
enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning
new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to
get in to or if I don t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning
more even when I know I didn t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as
long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue
to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a
few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I
have failed makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let
it get me down. I will not get further if I don t keep trying and as a learner I am a
motivator to myself in my studies. When it comes to who I am in my career, a few
of my strengths shine through more than others. For example, I put everything I
have in to my work and into my career, and looking back at how I ve worked in the
past compared to now, I see my strengths restorative and developer.

Books Are Better Than Paper Books
Did a person know that each year, Approximately 30 million trees are used to make
books all over the United States (Pollak)? Americans have been exposed to books
every day since we were able to read. Interestingly, many people still prefer paper
books over the new modern way of reading called an E book. Many readers feel that
they can connect better to the paper version. Paper and E books depend on natural
resources, size, prices, and abilities. What would the reader buy: the modern E Book
or old school paper books? With many people today still enjoying paper books,
they don t realize the harm it causes the environment. When trees are cut down to
make paper, oxygen can no longer be made. This can have huge effects on us and
our world. One way to help reduce the number of trees being cut down is to recycle
or purchase recycled books only. A paper book takes up about 2/3 pounds of
recycled paper and two gallons of water. The environment is taking up 7.5 kilograms
of Co2 and using two kilowatt hours of fossil fuels (CustomMade).
Some may say that paper books hurt the environment because of destroying trees
but E books need electricity in order to work. So, which is worse? E book needs to be
charged to read, therefore a person cannot recycle since its technology based book.
When seeking deeper in how they kill the world, One E book uses 33 pounds of toxic
and conflict minerals with 79 gallons of water which is 35.84 kilograms. Also, is
using 65 pounds of Co2 with

Essay on Amy Tan s Mother Tongue
Amy Tan s Mother Tongue
In Mother Tongue, Amy Tan talks about how language influenced her life while
growing up. Through pathos she explains to her audience how her experiences with
her mother and the Chinese language she came to realize who she wanted to be and
how she wanted to write.
The author, Tan, has written the books The Joy Luck Club, and The Kitchen Gods
Wife. She is Asian American, her parents are originally from China, but moved to
Oakland, California. The audience in Tan s essay is people 20 35 years old who are
culturally diverse. Tan focuses on this audience in order reach out to those who are in
her past situation. In her house, there were two languages spoken: English and
Chinese. Tan knew how to speak... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She wants the audience to know right away that even though she is about to tell
you the story of a difficult childhood, she did reach her goal in the end. After
making this statement, Tan dives into her past and how she came to be where she
is today. Her mother is the next most important point of discussion. Her mother
influenced her writing style as well as her beliefs about her culture and heritage.
?Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found
myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her? (Tan,
2002, p. 36). The broken up English her mother uses is the next issue Tan focuses on.
??everything is limited, including people?s perceptions of the limited English
speaker? (Tan, 2002, p. 36). Lastly, she talksabout her education and the role it had
on her deciding what she wanted to do with her life. ?Fortunately, I happen to be
rebellious in nature and enjoy the challenge of disproving assumptions made about
me? (Tan, 2002, p. 39). By structuring the essay in order of importance, Tan reinforces
her message that you can be anything you desire even with a different culture than the
norm.
The main rhetoric appeal used by Tan is pathos, the appeal to emotion. Language
becomes an obstacle for Tan because her mother speaks limited English. Amy must be
an interpreter for her mother in instances where her mother cannot communicate
effectively. ?And sure enough, the following week there we were in

Jimmy Carter Leadership Style
James Earl (Jimmy) Carter was born on October 1, 1924 and was raised in rural
Georgia and was a peanut farmer who served two terms as Georgia s State Senator
from 1963 1967. In 1971 he was the Governor of Georgia. He was elected President
in 1976 and then served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 1981.
Carter was known for many, many things that were also known as his legends. 1982,
Carter found the Carter Center with the help of the First Lady, Rosalynn Carter. Its

One of the awards was receiving United Nations Human Rights Prize in 1998. He
was one of the five activists from around the world to receive this prize. Another
award that Carter has won was the Nobel Peace Prize. It s an extinguish award
given to an individual who has done the best work on our nation on creating a
strong military or peace. Carter won that prize in 2002, for his decades of untiring
effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy
and human rights, and to promote economic and social development . He even
won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation s highest civilian award. For
nearly twenty years after he left the office, he was given that award for not only
promoting freedom as the President but also after he left the office. President
Clinton has even noted that one of Carter s greatest accomplishments was one of
the many Carter has promoted peace and democracy around the world. One of the
proudest moments of my life was the day in 1993 when Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser
Arafat shook hands on the south lawn of the White House. That day was made
possible by the courage of the people of the Middle East and their leaders, but also
by another handshake twenty years before, and the persistence of President Carter
as he brokered the Camp David accords. I know it is a great source of pride for him
that twenty one years later not a word of that agreement has been

Crime And Punishment By Raskolnikov
Some of the basic theories that Karl Marx went by for the Marxist theory was that
throughout the novel, there are many instances where Raskolnikov, along with

to prostitution in order to help her family with economical issues. The Second

Showing how the feud between both classes will consume a lot of problems. In the
novel Raskolnikov commits the crime of killing two people throughout the story. For
different reasons many of which involving his pride. Raskolnikov gives a lot of
reasoning why he killed Alyona Ivanovna. The first person he killed for a
utilitarian reason as he proclaims. As Raskolnikov says The old woman was a
mistake perhaps but she s not the point! The old woman was merely a sickness...I
was in a hurry to step over...it wasn t a human being I killed, it was a principle! So I
killed the principle, but I didn t step over it, I stayed on this side....All I managed to
do was kill. And I didn t even manage that, as it turns out..(part 3 chapter 4) The
quote shows how Raskolnikov is trap in his own mindset of himself that he only
cares about himself and how supposedly is helping his society. He shows how he
needs to assure himself about the motivation towards killing Ivanovna. There are
many scenes from the book that relate to the base and superstructure of the Marxist
model of consciousness. It explains In the critical experience packet. Philosophers
from Plato to Hegel have insisted that the elements of human consciousness such as
our intellectual reasoning, our knowledge of right and wrong, and our ability to make
aesthetic judgements are inherent in our very humanity .( Pg.180) The reasoning for
Raskolnikov would of been coming from human conscious as that shapes your
relationship to society. He believed he was doing a right to himself and society and

The Next Kind Of Integration By Emily Balzelson Analysis
Millions of children, teenagers, young adults, and adults attend school every Monday
through Friday in the United States with the intent to learn and further their
knowledge of core subjects. They learn math, science, English, history, and countless
other subjects throughout the week of school. In history they learn about how for a
long time in American history women were not allowed to go to schooland were
forbidden get a higher educationfor even longer. They also learn that for much of
American history schools were separated by race. In The Next Kind of Integration
by Emily Bazelon, the author talks about how in 2008 the Supreme Court ruled in a
close decision that the racial integration efforts of two school districts was
unconstitutional. In When Bright Girls Decide That Math is a Waste of Time by
Susan Jacoby, Jacoby talks about how gender stereotypes limit girls and young
women from being proficient in math and science throughout their life. Even though
integrating different races, socioeconomic statuses, and even genders can be
difficult, in the long run it leads to better educated students and a better experience
in school. Segregation is often an issue that people see as an issue that plagued
America many decades ago but that is not true at all. In The Next Kind of

about a decision to not allowed schools to be segregated. The first sentence of the

Understanding The Experiential Learning Process
Reflection is the method of analysing an activity with a view of changing an
existing approach or adopting a new perspective on an experience (Nguyen et al
2014). Boyd and Fales (1983) state that this process is central to understanding the
experiential learning process . According to Trottier (2015) Open Source Intelligence
(OSINT) is the process of an organisation gathering and analysing information that is
available to anyone. Websites and applications dedicated to Social media is one of the
most popular in OSINT for information generation and wide spread dissemination;
security and intelligence agencies can capitalise on these opportunities to covertly
study, things such as terrorist group behaviour, cultural contexts and recruiting
platforms (Zeng et al, 2010). The British Army employs small investigative teams that
conduct an OSINT capability to deliver a similar effect. The British Army state that
learninglessons is important and that all members of the armed forces need to be
involved in order to transform the field army of the future (British Army, 2016). Its
overarching learning processes are a holistic organisational view at the macro level
with long term objectives; there is no evidence that prescripts how the smaller
capabilities, such as OSINT, should learn, adapt and progress in order to advance in
their specific contexts. This essay will look at how important active reflection is to
self develop and continually improve the OSINT capability in line with

importance of understanding how we are insured and what our rights are, has never

Obamacare, in 2010, there were many changes to our health care system. The
changes apply to everyone and I felt that it was my duty as a Public Healthstudent to

I used this to set the base for why there has been a big push back to have a universal
health care system. I also included that there was a big influence from the American
Medical Association and the Republican party. There was also mention of how ideas
of socialism and communism were very real for the United States and any idea that
stemmed from this was not accepted. I then took this opportunity to talk abou the
technological advances we have made and how that has contributed to the rise of
health care. I made a note that just because we have the best technology, we are not
showing the best health outcomes and are spending about $9,000 per person on
health care yearly. Second, I gave a detailed explanation of Medicaid and the
program s role in our health care system. This was something that my co worker
was interested because he probably qualifies for Medicare. I decided to start by
showing a video I found on YouTube that talked about Medicare and Medicaid. It
did a great job at explaining that Medicaid is a needs based program that is
determined by income. Medicaid covers the basic things that we need to keep
healthy like, hospital services, doctor visits, prescriptions and nursing home care. In

The Is A Japanese Word For Higher Gross Domestic
Product...
Countries have always competed economically. The government pushes for higher
Gross Domestic Product, hoping that they will become the richest country. During
economic crises, countries want to recover and have stability. All of this means
that employees must work longer and harder. However, there are more
consequences than countries realize. The more employees work, the more stressed
they become, lowering their well being. Large epidemics begin spreading
throughout nations. As countries demand higher GDP, their people begin to
suffering causing numerous deaths from overworking or suicide due to stress.
Karoshi is a Japanese word for the epidemic spreading throughout the world, where
people are worked to death. Instead of focusing on the population s well being,
countries are only concerned with the economy, pushing employees to work long
and stressful hours. The term, karoshi, first appeared in the early 1980s, when
Japan enter into their bubble economy. Karoshi is defined as the, condition of
being permanently unable to work or dead due to acutely ischemic heart disease
such as myocardial infraction, or acute heart failure caused by cerebral vascular
diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral

Mental Illness And Self Identity
This issue is relevant because mental illness and self identity are starting to become
a popular topic in our society. People are starting to realize that even though it may
be a difficult subject to speak and learn about, it is important and should be
addressed in our society. This issue is important because it helps people embrace
who they are and learn about the issues instead of hating on themselves for being
different and not knowing the real facts about the issue. If we do not learn how to
treat mental illnessand accept ourselves, we will never move forward in society and
learn how to help others and ourselves with these topics. By learning more about
these topics we can help our society grow, by discovering new ways to help people
with these problems. We could decrease major issues in our society like mass
shootings, and teen suicide. With this topic we can make our society more aware and
inclusive of those with these issues.
Currently, mental health is a major topic in our society with mass shootings and
major crises with our government because everyone says that the shooters were not in
a good mental state, which made them do these terrible things. Self identity is also a

Meaningful Use and Implementation Criteria
Meaningful use is currently separated into a three stage system that the federal
government has enacted timelines on. Meaningful use is defined by characteristics
by which medical personnel and medical facilities gain the use of electronic health
record technology. The goal is to create an interoperable EHR system that improves
quality, safety, efficiency and reduce health disparities while engaging patient and
improving care coordination. The HITECH act also establishes the scope of
security and privacy protections under the HIPPA law. Under the rules, providers
must meet certain standards in stage one then moves on to meet the criteria in stages
two and three. The act stipulates that users must meet five out of ten criteria points
of which one must be a population /public health measure and thirteen required core
objectives (CDC, 2012). According to the CMS website, new rules and regulations
have been enacted as of 2014 that show the criteria for medical professionals versus
facilities. Through the use of the 27 billion dollars allocated to incentive this
program, medical professionals, meaningful users that can meet criteria will receive

Graycloud By John Nola Analysis
Like Nola, Ruth Graycloud, was exploited and subjugated by her white husband,
John Tate. Ruth was Moses Graycloud s twin sister. Like Nola, Ruth was an Osage
woman who became a victim of one of the white men who married Native American
women to get access to Osage oil wealth. Despite marrying a Native American woman
, Tate had no respect to Native Americans. As Yanka Kroumova Krasteva contends,
Tate constantly takes pictures of the Indians, as if they were archaeological finds.
And this is the way he treats his Indian wife (55). Tate was a photographer; he used
to appear at all significant events in the Indian territory standing behind the three
legged stand that held his camera, his head covered with black cloth, his own good
eye seeing everything through glass lenses (Hogan, Mean Spirit 58). He used to
photograph Native Americans and send their pictures to magazines. Tate first used
Ruth as a model then as source of income . (Hogan, Mean Spirit 179). He
humiliated and abused her; he did not love her, disliked to be seen with her. They
seldom went anywhere together, but when they did, he never walked at her side
(Hogan, Mean Spirit 134). At the end of Mean Spirit Tate killed Ruth. As a result,
Moses shot him dead.
In fact, Hogan highlights the oppression inflicted upon women. Meanwhile, she
pinpoints the previously discussed ecofeminist principle that women s liberation is
inseparable from the struggle against the oppression and abuse of

The Waste Land And Recitatif Analysis
History and writing between the Civil War up to the present day has drastically
changed. Being in a Modern American Literature class, class readings are over the
changes in writings, the way dialect or speaking has modernized, and the author s
thoughts. Many would think coming into a Modern American Literature class would
be more modernized stories and poems. In our syllabus, The Waste Landlacks out of
showing direct thoughts, being reliable enough to understand and real modern
history. Which, is why I believe The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot should be switched out
with Recitatif by Toni Morrison. I will be comparing and contrasting The Waste Land
with Toni Morrison s Recitatif on setting, writing skills, and the authors themselves.
By comparing both stories, both authors, Morrison and Eliot made sure they
explained to us how emotionally available they were to both situations. The Waste
Land and Recitatif were both published at a time where humans were truly needing
the truth of reality. The Waste Land published after World War 1, in 1915, which
was a very unhappy time period for Europeans. The setting was set in London but
different areas, yet each speaker was set in a mental setting which made them realize
it was a waste land. It is one of the hardest stories that we have read this semester and
does not include any historical context, more of an emotional context from different
speakers. Thus, the point of the story. Eliot knows it is difficult to understand, he

(John 3:16, NIV). Many people ask If God is just, why is there evil? (Forte, 2003).
The answer to this is simple, evil exists because humans choose to disobey and fall
into sin. The disobedience of man is the original cause and current cause of evil in
this world, not God.Christian theism includes what happens to a person when they
die. For each person death is either the gate to life with God and His people or the
gate to eternal separation from the only thing that will ultimately fulfill human
aspirations (Sire, 2004). Inevitably, there are only two destination choices; either
we will go to heaven or hell. Hell was not only created by God for Satan and those
angels who chose to defy God s will but also for those who have chosen to reject
Christ s love and to follow Him.Christian theism defines how ethics relates to the
role of humans. Ethics is transcendent and is based on the character of God as good
[holy and loving] (Sire, 2004). Theism teaches the universe is moral and there is
an absolute standard by which we should all judge things. God is the standard and
all issues should be judged next to His standard.Christian Theism teaches us,
History is linear, a meaningful sequence of events leading to the fulfillment of God
s purposes for humanity (Sire, 2004). History, as we know, began when God created
this world. History is not simply a story seen as possibly or potentially true,

Till We Have Faces Essay
Many of the works of C.S. Lewis contain themes of Christianity and the relationship
between man and the spiritual world. Written in the mid 1950s and towards the
end of his life, Till We Have Faces is one of Lewis most intellectual works.
Considered as his most mature work of writing, it is a retelling of the classical
mythical story of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Orual, the older sister
of Psyche. It prompts the reader to relate with Orual as the victim of the gods,
then, when the veil is lifted and the faults of Orual are revealed, the reader is able to
better recognize the faults of his own and those of society. Till We Have Faces opens
the eyes of readers to what loveshould be, and to its effect upon the world.
For many, love is a constant search for happiness that never ends. The desire for
love is longed for and pursued by every human. Many constantly seek it in self
satisfaction, but are never fully satisfied with the love which they attain. The
biggest reason for this is the distortion of the love which is sought for. True love is
pure and selfless, the perfection of a person. It is truly something which must be
cultivated in order to recognize and attain it. Love is a gift so sacred that it is worth
living and dying for. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not ...

Especially within a society such as ours, which distorts love into lust, the ability to
recognize and display the gift of love is essential. Selfish love, which is so inherent
to humanity, inhibits God from acting in our lives, blinding us from experiencing
His presence and eternal joy. It is so easy to look for pleasure and love in self

Causes And Disadvantages Of The Middle Ages
The middle ages were a time of great change and political upheaval. With the advent
of barbarians migrating from all across the continent to better their lives and to
receive the protection of the King or Emperor. Learning and preserving the past
became a priority for the first time ever as a country wide goal. With the help of
some truly great leaders like Charlemagnewe have the countries and historical
artifacts we know today. Barbarian migrations had major effects on Europe, during
the Middle Ages, starting with the decline of Rome, the Franks, and most importantly
by Charlemagne. The decline of the Roman empirewas caused by two things, one a
lack of capable leaders to rule and second of all an insurgence of those they
considered barbarians. A barbarian being anyone who wasn t Roman, but in this
case specifically the Huns who came from the East as well as the Goths who lived
around the empire in the outskirts and further. The decline of Rome did not happen
overnight it happened over the late fourth century and fifth century. Starting with the
Huns invasion of tribes in the far east causing them and others to flee. That led the
various Gothic tribes to cross the Danube River looking for protection from the Huns
that they hoped could be provided by the Romans. At this point in A.D 376 and later

multiple groups with their own hierarchy and aims to accomplish, and for the right

American Research And Development Of An Atomic Bomb
It was August, 1939. United States President Franklin Roosevelt read a letter sent to
him from prominent scientists Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard. The purpose of this
letter was to inform the President that the Germans supposedly discovered the secrets
to developing nuclear weaponry and to urge the President to do the same. This letter
changed the course of human history, setting the stage for the development of
weapons that would alter warfare forever (Primary Sources: Letter from Einstein to
FDR). The Manhattan Projectwas the code name given to the American research and
development of an atomic bomb. The high stakes chess game of World War II was
in full swing, and every move each side played created a chain reaction throughout
the world, as did the news of the German s advancements. Even though the United
States would not officially enter the war until 1941 (Historical Film Footage: US
Enters World War II), the world believed the United States to be the only hope of a
German defeat. With the alarming news of the German s recent discoveries, the
Americans needed to quickly assert its dominance in the race to develop new wartime
technology. Roosevelt authorized the research of nuclear weapons in January of 1942

On all visual skills tests, action video gamers scored better than non action video

they create a micro world of their own. The players act based on natural tendencies

Rarely were the rights of the prospective mother, much less the prospective child,

existence of a soul, the beginning of life, and the beginning of human personhood.
If a fetus is a person, it is a person in very special circumstances it exists entirely
within the body of another much larger person and usually cannot be the object of
direct action by another person. The position Marco and her wife is not that clear

Nature Essay. College essay: Describe nature essay

  • 1. Nature Essay Writing an essay on the topic of nature may initially seem like a straightforward task, given the vastness and beauty of the subject. However, delving into the intricacies of nature requires a nuanced approach that goes beyond mere admiration. The challenge lies in capturing the essence of the natural world while addressing various aspects such as ecological balance, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness of all living things. One of the difficulties is finding a unique angle or perspective that sets your essay apart from the multitude of existing nature-themed compositions. The danger is in succumbing to clichГ©s or falling into the trap of generalizations. It demands a delicate balance between scientific precision and poetic expression, blending factual information with a personal connection to the natural world. Researching the topic is another hurdle. Nature is a vast subject with numerous branches – from biology and ecology to philosophy and literature. One must sift through a plethora of information to discern what is relevant and essential for the essay's coherence. Striking the right balance between scientific accuracy and engaging prose requires a careful selection of sources and an in-depth understanding of the chosen subtopics. Moreover, crafting a compelling narrative that seamlessly weaves together observations, facts, and emotions is no small feat. Conveying the profound beauty of nature through words is a challenge that writers have grappled with for centuries. The struggle to articulate the sensory experiences and translate the awe-inspiring visuals into a textual format can be both humbling and frustrating. Additionally, maintaining a coherent structure poses its own set of challenges. The essay must progress logically, leading the reader through a journey that explores different facets of nature. This requires thoughtful organization and transitions between ideas, preventing the essay from becoming a disjointed collection of thoughts. In conclusion, while the topic of nature may seem like a broad and accessible canvas, writing an essay that does justice to its complexity and beauty demands careful consideration, thorough research, and a delicate balance between various elements. It is a task that requires both scientific precision and creative expression to capture the essence of the natural world in a way that resonates with the reader.

This is a significant quote because it is an example of how the Holocaust had such harsh ways to kill people that weren t considered a superior race . The Jews at Bergen Belsen had heard of the gas chambers and how they looked like normal showers so they began to get scared. They were told to take a shower once a month and thinking about the chambers can make them anxious. All they were told was that they were to get undressed and to take a shower but they didn t know what was going to come out of the shower head. It was either water like they were being told, or it could ve been Zyklon B, the poisonous gas used to kill hundreds of Jews. This is important to know because many mass amounts of people were killed by the place they were told to take a shower in. Having this happen at other concentration camps scares Marion and her family because they don t truly know if Bergen Belsen is one of the very few places that doesn t have gas

Challenges facing female head teacher s phenomenological study in the Effia Tanokrom Circuit of the Secondi Takoradi Metropolis in the Western Region of Ghana Women just as their male counterparts, have a right to actively participate in leadership in any facets of the society. In fact, they are permeating every domain of activities with assertiveness and proven competence, and making in roads into hitherto male monopoly of executive management roles in organizations especially in the developed countries. This study will seek to gain an insight into the leadership styles adopted by female head teachers of basic school in the Effia Tanokrom Circuit of the Sekondi Takoradi Metropolis in the Western Region of Ghana. It will also investigate the challenges they face in their line of duty, and how these challenges could be surmounted to enhance their performance.

It is hoped that the results of the study when disseminated through publication, will inform prospective female head teachers in basic schools about the challenges that they should anticipate and the various strategies they can employ to surmount the situation. It is hoped that this will encourage female head teachers who have similar challenges to develop similar strategies to help them. It will also serve an additional

Most of the crops are relied on the pollination of honeybee for reproduction.

Honey can be found in the hives, but the adult bees are losses from the colonies. The scientific cause for CCD is still undetermined, but the predictive causes of the syndrome are pathogens, parasites, management stressors, and environment stressors. It begins from 2006 that the beekeepers reported losses of 30 90 percent of their bees. To prevent the further lost of honeybee in the United States, ARS and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture develop a Colony Collapse Disorder Action Plan to help solve the problem. The decreasing of honey bee population caused by Colony Collapse Disorder has huge impacts on the agriculture in the United States. Honey bee is an important pollinator in the ecosystem and plays an important role in the agriculture.

His father Arthur Henry Eddington was a school teacher, died when Eddington was just two years old. His family had to move to Weston, where he was raised. From 1893 to 1898, Arthur Eddington had attended Brynmelyn School, where Eddington quickly distinguished himself, mainly in mathematics and English literature. As a child Eddington was very intelligent, and by his own account had mastered the multiplication table before he could read. He received his bachelor s degree in 1902 from Owens College, Manchester, and later he immediately proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge. At Cambridge Eddington placed first in the mathematical examination in his second year, for him it was an unprecedented achievement. According to NY Times, In 1905 he took his bachelor s degree from Cambridge University; in 1907 he became Smith s Prize winner and was elected a fellow of Trinity College; and in 1909 he obtained his master s degree.

  • 9. Police Law Enforcement Protection And Citizen s Civil... In 1991, nearly 10% of all United States murders occurred in New York City (La Vorgna, 2012). The United States civil liberties grant citizen s rights and freedoms as determined by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Every citizen has the right to walk their streets without being racially targeted by police. They also have the right to roam these streets without being mugged or killed. Both are civil liberties. Amidst times of racial and ethnic animosity, this country faces a problem between law enforcement protection and citizen s civil liberties. Stop and frisk is a policing tactic where officers stop, question, and frisk a civilian based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Many argue the New York Police Department s (NYPD) use of stop and frisk is an obvious violation of the Constitution and is based on racial discrimination. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has heard many controversial cases dealing with this exact problem. Cases such as Terry v. Ohio and Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin s partial ruling of Floyd v. City of New York have greatly impacted both law enforcement tactics and the meanings of certain civil liberties. An analysis of the United States judicial history and the biased decisions of Judge Scheindlin shows the NYPD s use of stop and frisk tactic is not only constitutionally reasonable, but a non discriminatory way of reducing crime. During 1968, Terry v. Ohio established the legal precedence for stop and frisk. The fourth
  • 10. How Did Nicolaus Copernicus Influence The Renaissance The world of astronomy is filled with famous names, such as Galileo and Newton. However, one of the most significant astronomers during the Renaissance era was Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus s first interest in astronomy blossomed into a life of creating astronomical theories. These theories would not only shape the world of science, but transform the Renaissance and history itself. Nicolaus Copernicuswas an extremely significant figure in history because he was a scientist, he challenged the RCC, he used Classical World ideas, and he modeled the spirit of the Renaissance. Nicolaus Copernicus made many scientific advancements during the Renaissance. For example, one of the new theories he created was heliocentric theory. Heliocentric theory... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Copernicus s new heliocentric theory caused trouble with the church. The Church believed in geocentrism, the theory that the Earth, Jerusalem specifically, was the center of the universe. Copernicus s theory contradicted the Church s teachings, which made him hesitant to publicize his ideas. Copernicus feared the punishments he would receive from the Church and other Christians for his ideas. However, in 1530, he began to share his theory among other scholars. He received positive feedback for his theory, and thirteen years later, he was convinced to publish his ideas in a book called De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions on the Heavenly Spheres). Many people rejected Copernicus s ideas; in fact, Martin Luther once stated, This Fool wants to turn the whole Art of Astronomyupside down. While his book did convince some people to accept heliocentric theory, the book was not widely published, it was difficult to read, and the book was very expensive, causing the book to gain little attention. Even with the lack of publicly, the Church placed Copernicus s book on the list of forbidden books. Nonetheless, Copernicus s choice to publish his theory, although it was not widely accepted, was extremely significant, because without this choice, heliocentric theory may never had been discovered or publicly shared with the

Addressed to Theophilus, the same patron as that of the Gospel of Luke, Acts is believed to have been written as a sequel to the gospel. The book of Acts serves as a bridge between the life of Christ presented in the gospels with the life of the early church as revealed through the remaining New Testament writings. Luke records the very beginnings of the church under the Apostles leadership, specifically with Peter as the head of the Church in its earliest stage.

A.D. 180), the author of Acts was widely identified as Luke, a Syrian from Antioch, a doctor by profession who had been a disciple of the Apostles and who had been the companion of Paul until Paul s martyrdom. He was said to have written the Gospel of Luke along with Acts, and to have died unmarried in Boeotia in Greece a the age of eighty four. This traditional view would place the time of writing within the seventies or eighties of the first century. Modern times have brought many challenges to the traditional view by numerous biblical scholars. The author cannot be proven decisively to have been one of Paul s companions who was a physician and therefore must be Luke the physician. At the same time, the traditional view has yet to be conclusively proven wrong and many would prefer to believe the tradition of the Church than the hypotheses of individual

The occasional praiseworthy entity is given momentary applause, but felicitations are short lived and quickly forgotten.

Unfortunately for Achebe, many people still think of Africaas a shadowy place containing secret knowledge about the beginnings of mankind and how man would exist if he were not civilized. However, he does not let that stop him from doing his best in his novels to counter that supposition. Okonkwo is far from being a thing monstrous or an inhabitant of prehistoric earth . . . that wore the aspect of an unknown planet (Conrad 108). He is a complicated man living in a complicated society. He has faults, strengths, and desires, and he would hardly worship a Kurtz if one happened to show up in Umuofia one day. Yes, Okonkwo and his fellow Igbo have some strange customs, but as Achebe points out in his essay, Yonkers, New York, has its own share of strange customs and rituals that a stranger might find primitive on the surface (2). This information would come as no shock to many anthropologists, nor would it seem strange to others (except, perhaps, the residents of Yonkers), but it is the attitude of Westerners that really bothers Achebe, not the lack of information.

This deal was unlawful European countries and it had influenced on Apple negatively as the business and the CEO were not happy because the business was accused of tax avoidance. Brussels were involved in this and the European countries decided Apple had to pay taxes starting from 1991 to 2007 and were to pay all of the European profits right up to 2015.

Hubris is excessive pride which is essentially arrogance however Willie is blind to his arrogance as he often treats people like judge with very little respect, thus this is shown when Willie is meeting with the judge and he takes a drink of the judges without asking, Aw, have a drink the Boss said , and laughed on the red carpet (Warren 44). This shows that Willie doesn t respect that this is the judges house, thus he treats it like its his own. Later in the story as the judge and Willie conversation becomes more intense Willie becomes even more rude and even more disrespectful,so much so that the judge tells willie, Ill thank you sir, to get out of that chair and get out of this house! (Warren 47). However instead of listening to the judge and leaving, Willie says, Jack, he said, you were sure right. The judge don t scare easy (Warren 47). Thus this shows that Willie doesn t take the judge very seriously and decides to continue to make rude remarks even though he wants the judges endorsement. However what makes Willies arrogance worse is simply is his overall blindness to his own hubris, as he doesn t even realize how rude he actually is being instead he just ignores it. A example of this would be when in the beginning of his career when Willie is giving speeches he is completely blind to the fact that they re really awful and his own self pride and confidence make him think that they re way better than they actually are. However everyone close to him realizes that they re awful including sally who tells jack, You know, she said, jabbing out the butt savagely in the cup and looking at it not me, you know, even if somebody told him. Even if he found out he was a sucker, I believe he might keep right on (Warren 75). Thus proving Willies blindness as even his friends know that his speeches are

The year 1991 began with the United States in a recession. Although short lived, ending in March, it lasted nearly 9 months. Many factors played a role in this recession, beginning with the stock market crashing in 1987. Another factor was the savings and loan crisis in 1989, which according to Kimberly Amadeo was considered the greatest bank collapse since the Great Depression. (Amadeo, n.p). The Gulf War, which began in 1990, was another factor contributing to this recession causing an increase in gas and oil prices. The economic prosperity of the 1990s was mainly due to the internet and the huge increase in technology industries. Personal computers and the Internet came of age, bringing a revolution in the efficiency of processing information and making workers more productive. Manufacturing companies embraced more efficient production methods (Jackson, 2007). President Bill Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act in 1993, which raised taxes and cut spending. Many credit this bill with helping set the stage for the large budget surpluses of the late 1990s because the increased marginal tax rates generated billions of dollars in revenue for the federal government.

It is a very broad question, but having done the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, I realized more in depth what kind of person I really am based on my top 5 strengths. Who I am as a learner, who I am in my career and who I am as a person of faith lead me to answering the question above and understandingmore of myself within. First off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn t take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I failed. I believehaving classmates at the time who weren t as focused as I wanted to be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I felt learningwas so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very well. Rath (2007) explains that, The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to get in to or if I don t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning more even when I know I didn t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I have failed makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let it get me down. I will not get further if I don t keep trying and as a learner I am a motivator to myself in my studies. When it comes to who I am in my career, a few of my strengths shine through more than others. For example, I put everything I have in to my work and into my career, and looking back at how I ve worked in the past compared to now, I see my strengths restorative and developer.

Americans have been exposed to books every day since we were able to read. Interestingly, many people still prefer paper books over the new modern way of reading called an E book. Many readers feel that they can connect better to the paper version. Paper and E books depend on natural resources, size, prices, and abilities. What would the reader buy: the modern E Book or old school paper books? With many people today still enjoying paper books, they don t realize the harm it causes the environment. When trees are cut down to make paper, oxygen can no longer be made. This can have huge effects on us and our world. One way to help reduce the number of trees being cut down is to recycle or purchase recycled books only. A paper book takes up about 2/3 pounds of recycled paper and two gallons of water. The environment is taking up 7.5 kilograms of Co2 and using two kilowatt hours of fossil fuels (CustomMade). Some may say that paper books hurt the environment because of destroying trees but E books need electricity in order to work. So, which is worse? E book needs to be charged to read, therefore a person cannot recycle since its technology based book.

In the novel Raskolnikov commits the crime of killing two people throughout the story. For different reasons many of which involving his pride. Raskolnikov gives a lot of reasoning why he killed Alyona Ivanovna. The first person he killed for a utilitarian reason as he proclaims. As Raskolnikov says The old woman was a mistake perhaps but she s not the point! The old woman was merely a sickness...I was in a hurry to step over...it wasn t a human being I killed, it was a principle! So I killed the principle, but I didn t step over it, I stayed on this side....All I managed to do was kill. And I didn t even manage that, as it turns out..(part 3 chapter 4) The quote shows how Raskolnikov is trap in his own mindset of himself that he only cares about himself and how supposedly is helping his society.

The Next Kind Of Integration By Emily Balzelson Analysis Millions of children, teenagers, young adults, and adults attend school every Monday through Friday in the United States with the intent to learn and further their knowledge of core subjects. They learn math, science, English, history, and countless other subjects throughout the week of school. In history they learn about how for a long time in American history women were not allowed to go to schooland were forbidden get a higher educationfor even longer. They also learn that for much of American history schools were separated by race. In The Next Kind of Integration by Emily Bazelon, the author talks about how in 2008 the Supreme Court ruled in a close decision that the racial integration efforts of two school districts was unconstitutional. In When Bright Girls Decide That Math is a Waste of Time by Susan Jacoby, Jacoby talks about how gender stereotypes limit girls and young women from being proficient in math and science throughout their life. Even though integrating different races, socioeconomic statuses, and even genders can be difficult, in the long run it leads to better educated students and a better experience in school. Segregation is often an issue that people see as an issue that plagued America many decades ago but that is not true at all. In The Next Kind of Integration the author Emily Bazelon talks about a Supreme Court case that talks about a decision to not allowed schools to be segregated.

Understanding The Experiential Learning Process Reflection is the method of analysing an activity with a view of changing an existing approach or adopting a new perspective on an experience (Nguyen et al 2014). Boyd and Fales (1983) state that this process is central to understanding the experiential learning process . According to Trottier (2015) Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the process of an organisation gathering and analysing information that is available to anyone. Websites and applications dedicated to Social media is one of the most popular in OSINT for information generation and wide spread dissemination; security and intelligence agencies can capitalise on these opportunities to covertly study, things such as terrorist group behaviour, cultural contexts and recruiting platforms (Zeng et al, 2010). The British Army employs small investigative teams that conduct an OSINT capability to deliver a similar effect. The British Army state that learninglessons is important and that all members of the armed forces need to be involved in order to transform the field army of the future (British Army, 2016). Its overarching learning processes are a holistic organisational view at the macro level with long term objectives; there is no evidence that prescripts how the smaller capabilities, such as OSINT, should learn, adapt and progress in order to advance in their specific contexts. This essay will look at how important active reflection is to self develop and continually improve the OSINT capability in line with

The more employees work, the more stressed they become, lowering their well being. Large epidemics begin spreading throughout nations.

People are starting to realize that even though it may be a difficult subject to speak and learn about, it is important and should be addressed in our society. This issue is important because it helps people embrace who they are and learn about the issues instead of hating on themselves for being different and not knowing the real facts about the issue. If we do not learn how to treat mental illnessand accept ourselves, we will never move forward in society and learn how to help others and ourselves with these topics.

The goal is to create an interoperable EHR system that improves quality, safety, efficiency and reduce health disparities while engaging patient and improving care coordination. The HITECH act also establishes the scope of security and privacy protections under the HIPPA law. Under the rules, providers must meet certain standards in stage one then moves on to meet the criteria in stages two and three. The act stipulates that users must meet five out of ten criteria points of which one must be a population /public health measure and thirteen required core objectives (CDC, 2012).

  • 39. Graycloud By John Nola Analysis Like Nola, Ruth Graycloud, was exploited and subjugated by her white husband, John Tate. Ruth was Moses Graycloud s twin sister. Like Nola, Ruth was an Osage woman who became a victim of one of the white men who married Native American women to get access to Osage oil wealth. Despite marrying a Native American woman , Tate had no respect to Native Americans. As Yanka Kroumova Krasteva contends, Tate constantly takes pictures of the Indians, as if they were archaeological finds. And this is the way he treats his Indian wife (55). Tate was a photographer; he used to appear at all significant events in the Indian territory standing behind the three legged stand that held his camera, his head covered with black cloth, his own good eye seeing everything through glass lenses (Hogan, Mean Spirit 58). He used to photograph Native Americans and send their pictures to magazines. Tate first used Ruth as a model then as source of income . (Hogan, Mean Spirit 179). He humiliated and abused her; he did not love her, disliked to be seen with her. They seldom went anywhere together, but when they did, he never walked at her side (Hogan, Mean Spirit 134). At the end of Mean Spirit Tate killed Ruth. As a result, Moses shot him dead. In fact, Hogan highlights the oppression inflicted upon women. Meanwhile, she pinpoints the previously discussed ecofeminist principle that women s liberation is inseparable from the struggle against the oppression and abuse of

Being in a Modern American Literature class, class readings are over the changes in writings, the way dialect or speaking has modernized, and the author s thoughts. Many would think coming into a Modern American Literature class would be more modernized stories and poems. In our syllabus, The Waste Landlacks out of showing direct thoughts, being reliable enough to understand and real modern history. Which, is why I believe The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot should be switched out with Recitatif by Toni Morrison. I will be comparing and contrasting The Waste Land with Toni Morrison s Recitatif on setting, writing skills, and the authors themselves. By comparing both stories, both authors, Morrison and Eliot made sure they explained to us how emotionally available they were to both situations. The Waste Land and Recitatif were both published at a time where humans were truly needing the truth of reality. The Waste Land published after World War 1, in 1915, which was a very unhappy time period for Europeans. The setting was set in London but different areas, yet each speaker was set in a mental setting which made them realize it was a waste land. It is one of the hardest stories that we have read this semester and does not include any historical context, more of an emotional context from different speakers. Thus, the point of the story.

The disobedience of man is the original cause and current cause of evil in this world, not God.Christian theism includes what happens to a person when they die. For each person death is either the gate to life with God and His people or the gate to eternal separation from the only thing that will ultimately fulfill human aspirations (Sire, 2004). Inevitably, there are only two destination choices; either we will go to heaven or hell. Hell was not only created by God for Satan and those angels who chose to defy God s will but also for those who have chosen to reject Christ s love and to follow Him.Christian theism defines how ethics relates to the role of humans. Ethics is transcendent and is based on the character of God as good [holy and loving] (Sire, 2004). Theism teaches the universe is moral and there is an absolute standard by which we should all judge things. God is the standard and all issues should be judged next to His standard.Christian Theism teaches us, History is linear, a meaningful sequence of events leading to the fulfillment of God s purposes for humanity (Sire, 2004).

Written in the mid 1950s and towards the end of his life, Till We Have Faces is one of Lewis most intellectual works. Considered as his most mature work of writing, it is a retelling of the classical mythical story of Cupid and Psyche from the perspective of Orual, the older sister of Psyche.

The desire for love is longed for and pursued by every human. Many constantly seek it in self satisfaction, but are never fully satisfied with the love which they attain. The biggest reason for this is the distortion of the love which is sought for. True love is pure and selfless, the perfection of a person.

With the help of some truly great leaders like Charlemagnewe have the countries and historical artifacts we know today. Barbarian migrations had major effects on Europe, during the Middle Ages, starting with the decline of Rome, the Franks, and most importantly by Charlemagne.

That led the various Gothic tribes to cross the Danube River looking for protection from the Huns that they hoped could be provided by the Romans.

Like the previous class, Teacher 1 and Teacher 2 follow the same controlled composition type of teaching writing approach wherein grammar is taught. When Teacher 2 calls upon students who do not raise their hands to answer, they seem embarrassed, uncomfortable with having to answer, because they do not know how to answer. This was an uncomfortable moment for me as an observer in the class because I felt the students were shy and ashamed of not knowing the correct answer. The teacher spoke in a loud voice too, which made the situation more uneasy for the students. At that point of the observation, I thanked the teacher and left the class.

Rarely were the rights of the prospective mother, much less the prospective child, taken into consideration. Although generally legal, the morality of abortion, birth control and child abandonment (as a form of infanticide) was sometimes discussed. Then, as now, these discussions often concerned the nature of man, the existence of a soul, the beginning of life, and the beginning of human personhood. If a fetus is a person, it is a person in very special circumstances it exists entirely within the body of another much larger person and usually cannot be the object of direct action by another person. The position Marco and her wife is not that clear from the available case study. But the position of Aunt Maria is very clear. She holds the view or the theory that of the pro life movement. Here the emphasize is on the right of the embryo or fetus to gestate to term and be born. She is very clear about the status of the fetus as it is human life and that is to be protected by all means. The fetus has the right to be germinated and to be born and grow in to its maturity. Nobody has the right to terminate a life that God has created.
