To Drill or Not to Drill
To drill or not to drill; I say not to drill. Americans need to not be dependant on any other person for their energy usage. We moved to this beautiful country to assert our independence and yet we feel we have to bow down to other countries for what we need. I feel we should find other ways to get our fuel like ethanol. We can make our own fuel and even if it cost more we no longer have to fight for our fuel. We can make our ethanol from corn husk and not the actual kernel so it would not interfere with the increase of food prices. To many people ethanol is the choice and I agree.  There are other ways to get energy by solar and wind and water but they are not as popular and are more costly. Although, when used with the ethanol we can reduce greatly our dependence on other countries: which is what we should be doing. Solar energy is getting our energy from the sun. Solar powered businesses are one way we can help. Wind mills supply energy as well. Also, nuclear plants are another way to supply energy but it is not a popular way. I feel strongly against drilling for oil in Alaska and depleting our fossil fuels.  Not only do we disturb nature and its inhabitants but we need to find a better way to supply our energy needs. I know I am being biased and I am unsure how to change my opinion to see the other side for I feel we as Americans run on greed so many times and jump into what we need now and do not look at what the effects will be farther in the future. I need to look more closely at both sides of the picture but right now the cost of fuel is so much Americans are having to choose between milk for their children or gasoline to get to work. Maybe more people should go back to horse and buggies or ride a bike to work.

Education: Grammar School and Government Essay
In this essay I am going to look at the changes to education legislation from 1944 to the present day. I will look at how these changes have reflected government educational policies and to what effect. Firstly I will look at the ââ¬ËButler Actââ¬â¢, war time 1944. The education act 1944 was called the ââ¬ËButler Actââ¬â¢ after the conservative politician, R.A.Butler. The 1944 ââ¬ËButler Actââ¬â¢ was undoubtedly a significant milestone in terms of the history of education Britain. It became increasingly clear that education was of vital importance to the nation and to the individual. It planned to remove the inequalities which remained in the system. The proportion of ââ¬Ëfree placesââ¬â¢ at grammar schools in England and Wales increased from almost a third to almost half between 1913 and 1937. However when poorer children were offered free places parents often had to turn them down, owing to the extra costs involved. The ââ¬ËButler Actââ¬â¢ 1944 provide   d free education for all pupils.  By 1946 the School Milk act was introduced. Previous investigations completed by John Boyd Orr revealed there was a link between low- income and malnutrition and under ââ¬â achievement in schools. Ellen Wilkinson minister of education, (the first woman in British history to hold the post), was a long campaigner against poverty and in 1946 managed to persuade parliament to pass the school milk act. This act ordered the issue of one ââ¬âthird of a pint of milk free to all pupils. Local Education Authorities (LEAs), were required to submit proposals to the new department of education for reorganising secondary schools in the area, LEAs were required to assist childrenââ¬â¢s special needs.  Most of the LEAs aimed to establish the three main ââ¬Ëstreamsââ¬â¢ or categories at school this was known as the tripartite system. The three categories were grammar , secondary modern and technical , the children would be allocated on the basis of an examination at the age of 11, known as the ââ¬â¢11 plusââ¬â¢. The 11 plus had the intention to provide an equal opportunity for children of all backgrounds and walks of life. The implementation of this break by the ââ¬ËButler Actââ¬â¢ seemed to offer an ideal opportunity to implement ââ¬Ëstreamingââ¬â¢ since all children would be changing school any way.  Was the ââ¬â¢11 plusââ¬â¢ a good idea or would it begin to emerge as a large historical accident? Many people related more to the wider education system rather than the academic selection. The proportions of school childrenà  gaining a place at a grammar school varied by location and gender, and due to the continuance of single sex schooling there were fewer places for girls than boys. Many critics claimed that there was a strong class bias in the exam. It seemed that children on the borderline of passing were more likely to get grammar school places if they came from middleclass families. It would appear that the ââ¬â¢11 plusââ¬â¢ was a system based on unfairness. For example, questions about the role of household servants or classical composers were easier for middle class children to answer but far less familiar to those from less wealthy and less educated backgrounds.  The ââ¬â¢11 plusââ¬â¢ also led to divisions in schools (streaming), in the country (social class distinctions) and also led to irreconcilable political attitudes, (labour vs. conservatives) with the conservatives in favour of this selection and labour against it. In the 1950s, all the opposition against the 11 plus exam and the selection process had led to the idea of the modern comprehensive system. This idea was cherished by labour and rejected by the conservatives. In 1964 the labour government was elected, Harold Wilson is the new prime minister. Going into 1965 the circular 10/65 has stated for everyone to prepare for the introduction of the comprehensive schools.  This was recognised as a fairer system better for working class people. Wilson was very anxious to increase opportunity within society, this meant change and expansion to the education system. For the first time ever a British government spent more time on education than on defence. This led to the significant increase in the number of university places. Wilsonââ¬â¢s record on secondary education was disappointing. Whilst the proportion of children attending comprehensive schools rose to 30% during this period, his government failed to establish a fully comprehensive system.  The selection system survived. Wilson lost power in June 1970 when Ted Heaths Tories won the general election with a majority of 30. Circular 10/ 70, newly elected government withdrew 10/65. Circular 10/70 was an attempt by Margaret Thatcher new secretary for education, to reverse the effects of circular 10/65. The first circular recommended to LEAs to begin the process of conversion to full comprehensive systems. This is ironic as it was in line with labour governmentsââ¬â¢ wishes on the transitionà  to a national comprehensive system. However the second circular said that no funding would be given for new non- comprehensive schools. LEAs were given more power to decide the future of secondary education in the area, under their authority independently of central government. It is believed that Thatcher was trying to reinstate grammar schooling. It was left to the LEAs individually whether or not they would go comprehensive.  Heath needed to make cuts in public expenditure, Margaret Thatcher offered amongst other things to abolish the universal provision of free school milk. This was achieved in the 1971 education milk act. It led to the jibe ââ¬ËThatcher, Thatcher milk snatcherââ¬â¢. In 1972 the school leaving age raised to 16 in response to rising youth unemployment. Was the government really concerned about giving people a better education or was it just a simple matter of keeping children in school longer to boost unemployment levels in order to make them look better?. This was not a popular decision. During 1973 the LEAs continued to submit plans which were presented as individual school plans which Thatcher accepted. There were now more children in comprehensive schools than selective one. Primary schools remained stable. Now I come to the ââ¬Ëeducation reform actââ¬â¢ 1988. Conservative government are in place. The educational reform act is widely regarded as the most important single p   iece of education legislation since the ââ¬Ë Butlerââ¬â¢ educationà  act1944. This act introduced the National Curriculum.  The National Curriculum believed everybody should have a knowledge of everything. Power was given to schools letting them spend the money how they like. Schools were ââ¬Ëbribedââ¬â¢ as they were offered à £30,000 to opt out of the LEA. Thus Thatcherââ¬â¢s, intention was to weaken the power of the LEAs, giving more power to schools allowing them to spend the money how they liked. If more schools were to opt out poorer areas would not benefit, for example in well off middleclass areas people have more money and schools could raise more money through donations and school fairs act. Schools would become selfish only looking after their own needs. Head teachers were given more power and had to manage rather than ââ¬Ëteachââ¬â¢. Schools were potentially paying more attention to material objects and resources rather than concentrating on teaching.  On the plus side, schools could look for better and cheaper deals allowing them to spread the cost of their money effectively. City technical colleges wereà  also introduced providing specialist education by selection, opening up more doors. In 1992 The Education Act introduced the OFSTED, inspection system value for money. This was seen as a great idea by many as it made sure all schools were up to a certain standard. During 1997, the new labour government was elected (Tony Blair). The labour governmentââ¬â¢s intention was to devote attention to a higher standard of schooling, and to also make change to the national curriculum. This labour government would be a new ââ¬Ëmodernââ¬â¢ labour party as the labour government no longer stands for its traditional values. The new ââ¬Ëmodernââ¬â¢ labour government would;  * Encourage private initiative funding, allowing private companies to build new schools. * Promote specialist educational academies in sport, sciences, languages and technology. There would be no money to build new schools.  Schools would ask companies for computer deals whereas labours traditional view would have expected the state to pay. Therefore labour no longer stands for its traditional values. Schools were also encouraged to maximise the effect of their resources. This did not benefit poorer areas. Schools were taught to budget in order to allow a more effective financial control. In 2006 the Education and Inspection bill was introduced. This passed in March 2006, within the face of some opposition from within the labour party. Some of the main changes of the Education and Inspection bill were as follows; * Foundation (trust) schools  * School admissions  * Staged introduction of changes to the curriculum and entitlements including new diplomas to replace A-levels to be emplacement by 2013 * School travel  * School food  Also it was suggested that the school leaving age should be raised to 18 by 2013. This was propaganda as again was the government really concerned about a great education for children or was it just the case of making unemployment figures look better? The labour government believe education is much bigger than what goes on in school; trigger points for this were theà  sad case of Victoria Climbie and the Soham murders. CRB checks were introduced to protect children, as there was poor communication between the police and schools. In 2003 the introduction of ââ¬ËEvery Child Matters ââ¬Ëwas introduced. Every Child Matters is one of the most important policies to have intuitive and develop a programme in relation to children and the children services of the last decade. Its main aims were for every child, whatever their background or circumstances to have the support they need, * Be healthy  * Stay safe  * Enjoy and achieve  * Make a positive contribution  * Achieve economic well-being  The Every Child Matters act had been title of three government papers, and in 2004 lead to the Children Act. Which took the Every Child Matters act further and the government started to get more involved with the parents suggesting what their child should and shouldnââ¬â¢t eat and encouraged more physical activity, Education was now not only stopped at children parents were now being educated on the well-being of their child. Sure start programmes were opened giving support to families. In 2008 the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families was replaced by the Department for Education after the change in government following the general election 2010. The Department has also come under criticism during the 2010 General Election, after it was revealed that the Departmentââ¬â¢s offices had a refit which included a ââ¬Å"contemplation roomâ⬠ 0ther features include a grand glass and steel staircase and imported Italian designer furniture.  The total cost of the refit was estimated to be three million pounds, at a time when the department needed to make two billion pounds of savings. With the election in May 2010, there has been some confusion. The election of the coalition conservative/ liberal some changes were made immediately as previous government plans were put on hold or reversed. The new government believe that the previous government was taking the power from parents , not only did this cost a lot of money it was controlling society tainting and shaping it , taking the role from a parent. The newà  government now does not want to get involved in how a child should be brought up; it is a parentââ¬â¢s job. The government should go no further than education. The new government would now scrap the building schools for the future scheme, the last government over spent and money needs to be saved. A new secretary of state for education, Michael Gove MP believes the education system is a mess. Too many people are    going to universities costing the government too much money.  I am now coming to the end of my essay; the new government is still making changes to the education system and believes that the lab our party had let standards slip. The new government believes in traditional standards and is now scraping GCSEs in favors of a tougher exam. Overall I believe the secondary education will always be un- stable as new and traditional standards will come in and out of place. Many lessons have been learned and hopefully a better and fairer system will eventually come in place; however is this possible as labour and conservatives differ so much? The education system has come far since 1944 and the importance of the ââ¬ËButlerââ¬â¢ act still plays a part in the heart of the education system and many people should think of this as one of the biggest milestones in history.

Jamie Schiller English 114 09/12/12 Difficulty Paper 1 ââ¬Å"If one thinks of cultures, or literatures, as discrete, coherently structured, monolingual edifices, Guaman Pomaââ¬â¢s text, and indeed any autoethnographic work, appears anomalous or chaotic ââ¬â as it apparently did to the European scholars Pietschmann spoke to in 1912. If one does not think of cultures this way, then Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s text is simply heterogeneous, as the Andean region was itself and remains today. Such a text is heterogeneous on the reception end as well as the production end: it will read very differently to people in different positions in the contact zone. (page 492) I found this passage difficult because it uses many terms that I was only introduced to when I started reading Mary Louise Prattââ¬â¢s essay. It is hard to follow because it uses difficult terms and packs a lot of information into a small amount of writing. Mary Louise Pratt introduces several concepts in the same passage,    which was both overwhelming and distracting. It was difficult to understand the passage in its entirety the first time I read it, but after rereading the passage several times and giving it some thought, I think I may have a better understanding of what the author was trying to convey to her audience.I think that Mary Louise Pratt is saying that Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s text can be interpreted in more than one way. She uses the term ââ¬Å"heterogeneousâ⬠, which means incongruous or unlike. This suggests that the text was complex and thus could easily be misinterpreted. If two people each have a different perspective of a certain society or culture is different from someone elseââ¬â¢s, they probably will not share the same understanding of Pomaââ¬â¢s work. Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s letters to the king were written in two languages. This could be a reason why people who view cultures as ââ¬Å"coherently structured, monolingual edificesâ⬠ may find his work chaotic and confus   ing.The European scholars the Pietschmann spoke to in 1912 would not have been able to fully understand Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s work because they do not possess transcultural understanding. The part of the passage that states that, ââ¬Å"If one does not think of cultures this way, then Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s text is simply heterogeneous, as the Andean region was itself and remains today,â⬠ suggests that those who come from a ââ¬Å"contact zoneâ⬠, where two different cultures intermingle, would be able to understand Guanman Pomaââ¬â¢s message more easily.This might be caused by the fact that they are familiar with more than one culture existing together and therefore would not be confused or overwhelmed by Pomaââ¬â¢s letters. This passage connects to the rest of Prattââ¬â¢s essay because it talks about autoethnographic texts and transcultration. Pratt introduced both of these terms in her essay because she views them as ââ¬Å"the phenomenon of the contact zone. Ã¢â   ¬     
Descartes and the Existence of God Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words
Descartes and the Existence of God - Essay Example    Descartes meditation about the existence of God cannot be used to serve as proof of the existence of an Evil Demon. This is because Descartes establishes a clear line of thought that is specific to his a priori existence of God. Central to his argument is the fact that his knowledge of God is anchored on a distinct idea on the existence of a supreme being (Marion, 2008). As such, there must be the existence of an idea first of all before a given claim of body of knowledge is verified. For Descartes, this distinct idea resided in his mind (Nolan, 2011). It is this idea that gave him the essence of God as a supreme being. It is an idea that could not be verified through empirical methods. The existence of an Evil Demon, in line with the thinking of Descartes, can only obtain if it is backed by a distinct idea. There must first exist the essence of the Evil Demon that is crystallized into Descartes mind in order for him to make a claim about the existence of such a being. One of the cen   tral arguments upheld by Descartes is that essence implies existence. It would follow logically that the absence of essence effectively negates all possibilities of existence. Without the essence of the Evil Demon in distinct form it would be vacuous to assert any claim of such an existence. Therefore, this would mean that Descartes could claim the existence of God but refrain from making any assertions on whether or not some Evil Demon actually exists. Proof of such existence could be derived from.

Violence Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 1
Violence - Essay Example    Ironically, both films depend on anticipation, leaving a similar feeling in the viewer as they progress. When viewed from the point of view of several sociological perspectives and discussed for the character portraits and dark humor, a comparison can be made between Pulp Fiction and Dog Day Afternoon.    There are two basic forms of violence that can be viewed in a film. The first more obvious form of violence is that of physical violence where a living organism is dealt physical harm. The second less obvious form of violence is that of psychological violence. Psychological violence comes from the allusion to violence or from actions that cause mental harm. Slocum (2001) uses the example of the film Gaslight where a man intends to drive his wife mad. Slocum refers to Freud and says that ââ¬Å"Real violence can have symbolic meaning and symbolic violence can have real consequencesâ⬠ (p. 40). Actions that show an intent toward violence can also create a sense of psychological violence, even thought the act may never actually be fulfilled.    psychological violence is apparent in the constant threat that is pervasive throughout the film. The film is a series of character studies as revelations about each character comes through to the viewer in humorous and often shocking moments. The moment that is the most shocking, especially when viewed with the point of view of the sociological dynamics of the 1970ââ¬â¢s, is when Leon reveals one of the motivations for the robbery. Leon says:    I couldnt explain why I did the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who explained to me I was a woman in a mans body. So Sonny right away wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he to get that? 2500 dollars! My God, hes in hock up to his ears already (IMDB, 2010, Dog Day Afternoon).

Comparing and contrasting the marriages of John and Margaret Winthrop Essay
Comparing and contrasting the marriages of John and Margaret Winthrop and John and Abigail (Portia) Adams - Essay Example    From the analysis that will be performed, it will be plainly obvious to the reader that even though these couples were relatively closely related, in terms of their historical life span and the fact that they both had strong relationships with their spouses, the nature of these relationships were quite dissimilar from one another. Ultimately, the only similarity that can be noted is with respect to the fact that both Abigail and John Adams as well as Margaret and John Winthrop experienced an unbelievably close and intimate relationship in which they shared a litany of their innermost thoughts, fears, longings, and goals. Firstly, with regards to a level contract, it can quickly be, even a cursory level of analysis, that Abigail and John Adams shared an unbelievably close relationship that was tamed with elements of mutual intellectual stimulation, political thought, humanistic interpretations of philosophy, and a litany of other hopes, dreams, and aspirations. As such, the relationsh   ip that John and Abigail Adams shared was very much as strong as the relationship of Margaret and John Winthrop shared; however, the key differential was with regards the range and depth of topics that these two discussed within their letters. Whereas one particular letter may be concentric upon focusing on the health concerns that John and Abigail had at any particular time in their life, this discussion could easily segue into religious, philosophical, or political discussions with regards to the way in which the nascent Republic was growing. By means of comparison the relationship that Margaret and John Winthrop shared, as exhibited throughout their letters, was less expansive as compared to John and Abigail Adams. This should not be understood to mean that the relationship that Margaret and John Winthrop illustrated within their letters was somehow less fulfilling or less close than that which has been described between John and Abigail Adams. Rather, the key differential that c   an be noted is with respect to the fact that Margaret and John Winthropââ¬â¢s letters are almost exclusively formulated around a very rigid interpretation of religion and the means through which an Almighty power governs each and every aspect of life; no matter how negligible or no matter how seemingly trivial such an aspect might be. Whereas it is true that different topics besides religion are discussed, a return to religious the means and a focus upon the fact that no matter which alternative, the variant, or decision is brought about in the fullness of time, the Almighty will ensure His will is done. This of course begs the reader to question why Margaret and John Winthrop eââ¬â¢sxpended such a great deal of time and ink discussing the issues that they had. If indeed it were true that their faith was so strong that they placed any and all of their concerns into the divine hands of an Almighty God, one wonders why it was necessary to continually reference these issues and u   ltimately end the conversation with a representation of the fact that God was in control and the only thing that they need to do about it was submit their will to him and pray. What can be understood with regards to the differential between these two relationships has to do with the dynamics of how they were formed. Whereas Abigail and John relied upon each other as a function of determining which course of action was best and how they should proceed and consider key situations within their lives,

The issue of population growth and water Research Paper
The issue of population growth and water - Research Paper Example    of nearly 6.3 billion is accounted to be growing by 80 million people per year and this tremendous and constant population growth implies that there is an increased demand for fresh water that comes to be around 64 billion cubic meters each year. This paper presents the issue of water crisis and population growth. Based on scientific studies related to nature and water crisis, this work attempts to detail the exact crisis of water scarcity and its severity on human life. How population growth impacts on fresh water availability and use also has been broadly detailed in this work.    Good water like soil is the resource that has no substitute and hence water crisis would severely impact on human life. Elizabeth Hunt (2004) emphasizes that the water crisis is real and its complexity or its connection to real poverty cannot be underestimated. The water crisis is closely related to environmental insecurity as well as hopelessness. The real crisis is not just lack of water, but also the degradation and depletion of water ecosystem (p.37).    According to NOVA ââ¬Ëworld in the balanceââ¬â¢ report (April 2004), the total number of people on this planet is growing and it is expected that the world population will be 9 billion by 2050. 98% of this growth will be in developing countries where resources are being consumed faster than they can be renewed. Even though, water represents 70% of the Earth surface, only 2.5 % of it is fresh water available for human basic needs (world in the balance, NOVA).. The scarcity of the fresh water due to overuse and contamination is the second most challenge on human life in the 21st century; population growth being the first of all challenges    Among all natural resources water is the most essential. Supply of water in the quantity needed and availability of quality water are two problems that mount and it could seriously restrict human life standards and economic development. A great majority of world population currently faces extreme water

Project Management Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words
Project Management - Essay Example    In the contemporary age, there is a lot of competition in the market. In order to gain competitive advantage, companies are trying to make their systems perfect. There is no room for deficiency because the clients have a variety of vendors to choose the services from. In such circumstances, proper management of the project ensures that the project is completed on time, within budget and with least inconvenience to any of the parties involved in the project. Project management adopts a pro-active approach to assess and manage the potential risks of the project which is beneficial for all parties in the long run. Successful project management promotes business. Lifecycle of a project can be divided into four phases, namely project initiation, project planning, project execution and project closure. Project lifecycle management is basically the management of these four phases of the project. Each of these phases has its own crucial aspects that need to be managed. For example, in the pr   oject initiation phase, risk assessment and mitigation is primarily important. In project planning, selection of the plan that is the most cost-effective among all is mainly important. In the project execution phase, supervision of the work is the most important whereas in the project closure stage, clarifying the snag list prepared by the consultant or client and acquiring the payment is primarily the work of the project manager. Project management is extremely important for an organization because it enables the organizational personnel to do the work in an organized manner. When the majority of risks have been timely identified and catered for, work flows smoothly and so does the cash flow. This allows the finance department to generate the salaries on time and everybody is happy. The peace of mind thus achieved enables the organizational personnel to optimize upon their capabilities and they are able to give in their best for the organization. Hence, project management is vital    for the success of an organization. Planning is one of the most fundamental concepts of the project management. Planning means determining how the work will be executed. There can be numerous ways to attain the final product. The goal of the project manager is to select such a plan from among a variety of options, that consumes the least resources, is the least time-consuming and yet leads him to the product without compromising upon its quality. In order for a project manager to identify such a plan for a particular project, it is imperative that he carries out a comprehensive research to brainstorm himself with the possible alternatives that can be adopted to get the project executed. While doing the research, the project manager should see how a project of a specific nature has been executed in the past, what potential benefits and drawbacks were identified by the project executers of using such a plan after it had been executed, and what

Organizational behavior Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words
Organizational behavior - Research Paper Example    There is a perfect organization of content coverage in the article as it first begins with explanation of the organizational behavior as a concept. The article thus gives a simple definition of organizational behavior as the field that studies and investigates the impacts of groups, individuals, and structure on behaviors within an organization. Nonetheless, the article lists some of the elements of organization like people and structure. In this case, people and structure interact to influence behaviors in the organization.    The article gives a comprehensive coverage of the key elements of an organization (Youssel and Luthans 2). The illustration is important since interaction of the various elements influence behaviors within the workplace. The article puts more emphasis on people as important element of an organization. People are the employees who have different needs and expectations that they wish to accomplish. However, failure to meet those needs and expectations may affect their workplace motivation and have influence their behavior. Therefore, the article contributes a great deal to the topical discussion by stressing on people management as an important aspect of organizational behavior. Another important element that influences organizational behavior is structure which defines the existing relationships within the organization. Structures concern different aspects like hierarchy of command or authority, division of labor, specialization, formation, and centralization among others (Youssel an   d Luthans 14). The organizational structural elements influence behaviors since they focus on power and duty. Nonetheless, organizational structure involves jobs and tasks where task identity as well as description affects behaviors of the employees.    Another key point to note about the article is that it explains some approaches to organizational behavior. One of the

The break in studies was mainly intended to find my strength and weaknesses and thereby, identify the field that best suited my aptitude. I had always wanted to work before going in for higher studies. The break has indeed been the most defining time of my life. The experiences in various areas of human interaction have significantly influenced my perspective towards issues and factors which were hitherto considered of low merit.    In 2003, I first worked with Ymed Sysems Inc. which market medical equipment and provide medical services. Working with the company made me realize that being professional and being a salesman are two different things. To advance in life, I needed to acquire more knowledge. Though I started reading books on different areas of business, I realized that higher degree would equip me with better knowledge. After two yearsââ¬â¢ working with the company, I finally knew that economics is the field for me. I am interested in knowing how and what makes business succeed in the highly competitive global environment. Though I had made tentative decisions about my future, I enrolled for military service. The next two years in military had further strengthened my belief that America is the place to realize oneââ¬â¢s dream. I knew that America is a land of opportunities and pursuing higher education from prestigious academia like this education would greatly facilitate in realizing my dreams    of becoming a successful professional in the field business management.    Since 2008, I have been studying in America. I have been attending English, economics, accounting, and mathematics classes, which will become the cornerstone for more profound study in Santa Barbara City College. The classroom sessions have taught me how theories are applied in real life situations. The two years in

Analysis of The Somebody Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words
Analysis of The Somebody - Essay Example    He considered owning all the things, places and buildings where he signed his name and looked at himself as somebody, a popular person who has a reputation of his own. The story is written in simple narration where the author used words and conversations used mainly among street people to adapt to the attributes of the characters. The main character claims he is Mexican whereby, unsophisticated English words are used and being a gang member, the narrator uses phrases commonly used like the use of the word ââ¬Ëmanââ¬â¢. For instance when Chato commented about what happened to the houses in his neighborhood, he said, ââ¬Å"I hope that never happens to your street, manâ⬠. He used the phrase to speak to his reader or audience regardless of gender. The use of figurative speech is abundant in the story making it an interesting narrative, catching the attention of readers, letting them pause and think about what they could possibly mean. The figures of speech also stir the imagi   nations of audiences to the picture the author wants to paint in their minds, making the events and characters come alive. ââ¬Å"The toilet roars like a hot rod taking offâ⬠ is a simile used in the story which portrays the whooshing sound made by the toilet bowl when it is flushed. The terms could also imply that the toilet sound is louder than it should be, making it appear in the readerââ¬â¢s mind that the setting is in a poor familyââ¬â¢s house where repairs or change of materials are not done even when badly needed. Other figurative connotation used as a simile is ââ¬Å"like a ghost in the graveyardâ⬠, which describes the narrators way of walking down the street, allowing the reader to imagine that he was walking alone in a dark, abandoned road. The figures of speech help the reader to have a clear picture of the images the author wants to portray through the words of the main character which was done quite successfully. About his writing, Chato describes it in    the same fashion as, ââ¬Å"Itââ¬â¢s real smooth and mellow, and curvy like a blond in a bikiniâ⬠. The comparison of two unlike things is used in this description which may have been an exaggeration but to the author, might have reached his goal of putting the penmanship of the character beside a curvy womanââ¬â¢s naked body to show how attractive is writing is. Metaphor was also used in the narration of the main character as he described the legs of her mother with the following phrase, ââ¬Å"Her legs got those dark blue rivers running all over themâ⬠. He used the image of rivers to describe the varicose veins on her motherââ¬â¢s legs which could have been correctly represented because as the rivers carry water or fluid, the veins do the same however, they carry blood. Rivers when seen from afar are colored blue but the representation of the author about the varicose veins mentions them to be dark blue. The author also used personification in the story, making    things perform human actions. For example, he said about the houses being destroyed by the bulldozers and wrecking bars of S.P. Railroads, ââ¬Å"You could hear those houses scream when they ripped them downâ⬠. Houses cannot scream but the author used the word probably to inform readers about how the owners had no other choice but to let their houses be bulldozed against their will. It could also be that he was referring to the noise made in the midst of the wrecking of the houses, the sound of bars and hammerings and probably made a parallelism to how a person would react if one is ripped off or destroyed.

Dream Is A Work Essay Example for Free
 Dream Is A Work Essay  A dream is a work of art which requires of the dreamer no particular talent, special training, or technical competence. Dreaming is a creative enterprise in which all may and most do participate. ââ¬â Clark S. Hall Dreams  Nightmares  I.introduction  I.  Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.  Henry David Thoreau Have you ever been curious about what your dreams and nightmares actually mean? Dreams can be mysterious, but understanding the meaning of our dreams can be downright baffling. The content of our dreams can shift suddenly, feature bizarre elements or frighten us with terrifying imagery.         The fact that dreams can be so rich and compelling is what causes many to believe that there must be some meaning to our dreams. People have always been fascinated by their secret night-time journeys. Over the years there have been many theories as to why we dream and the function dreams serve.  II. What is a dream? ââ¬â What is a nightmare  Nightmareââ¬â¢s distinction is its frightening and emotional content. People wake up in fear in the middle of a nightmare. Because of this, you are more likely to remember your nightmares than your good dream. Studies have said that sensiive people are more prone to nightmares because of of their empathetic surroundings. Dream is a series of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. We all experience dreams while we sleep  III. Facts about Dreams  Dreams can be fascinating, exciting, terrifying or just plain weird.  1. Everybody Dreams  2. But You Forget Most of Your Dreams  We forget most of our dreams just right after waking up because of our brain condition while were asleep. Although most dreams vanish, certain ones tend to remain. These dreams were so beautiful or bizarre, they captured our attention and increased activity in our DLPFC. Thus, the more impressive your dream or thought, the more likely you are to remember it.  How to understand what your dreams mean  The symbolism in dreams is often simply borrowed from recent events. The first time the above dream occurred was after the woman had been watching a television programme about sailing. The symbols are rather arbitrary; it is the feelings in the dream which hold the key to unlocking dreams and what they mean. The feelings in the dream are usually an exaggeration of feelings from the real-life issue which caused the dream. If you feel terror in the dream think of when recently, in your waking life, you felt a little frightened. Or if you laugh hysterically during a dream look for a recent time when you found something funny but were maybe constrained from laughing too uproariously. When you find the dreams match it often feels like a clicking into place  like a perception rather than an intellectualisation.   When you astral project, your astral self is leaving your physical, corporeal body and roaming around on the astral plane. If thatââ¬â¢s happening to you, you are extremely aware that itââ¬â¢s happening. Itââ¬â¢s not something that happens unconsciously. So, a true astral projection is when you leave your body and you maintain your awareness in your astral body while your physical body stays prone and asleep. So, that being said, however, what happens at night is your astral body becomes aware, it sort of wakes up, but it doesnââ¬â¢t necessarily leave your body. In that way, I could see why youââ¬â¢re asking ââ¬Å"Does the astral body hover over the body while sleeping?â⬠ I can tell you that during the times that I have astral projected and gone to visit friends I can see their astral bodies moving out of phase with their physical bodies. So, usually I see a personââ¬â¢s head coming out of their physical head.  So, I kind of see their incorporeal head here ââ¬â their astral head ââ¬â and their physical head just underneath them. And they usually look pretty shocked. I donââ¬â¢t know if thatââ¬â¢s because theyââ¬â¢re sensing my presence or thatââ¬â¢s how it looks normally. I would have no way to tell, but I can tell you that the astral self does move out of phase a little bit from the physical body while we sleep. At least from what I have seen. This would make sense to me, because when we sleep our bodies are going into sort of a hibernation that allows our astral self ââ¬â our astral body ââ¬â to separate and explore if it wants to. If we want to.  Always remember that you are attached to your corporeal body with your astral cord, which is what helps you get back into your body after youââ¬â¢ve been out for a while. You donââ¬â¢t want that to get severed . Thatââ¬â¢s the end of the show if that happens. So, yes, I would say itââ¬â¢s true that every time you sleep your astral body becomes aware, that it is free to move around, but a true astral separation you would be very, very aware of. It would not be something that youââ¬â¢d forget. So I would say that yes, there is some astral activity every night when you sleep, but probably not a full separation. Good question.

A nightmare is more typically something dreamt where you may well have a conscious recollection of a specific terror. Being pursued by a relentless creature or thing that would harm you, for instance.  What you describe may have more to do with a bad dream that is based on some conflict in your life. You dont name any particular thing that you recall of the dream, so the dreams may be more to do with a waking issue  almost literally fighting wakefulness. We pass through an odd world of twighlight as we emerge from sleep. Dreams happen mostly just before waking  and in a way we often drag them with us. The waking experience itself can be disturbing enough to a pleasant dream to generate the response you describe in some people. As we awaken we can go through a semi-waking awareness of sleep paralysis  and some can fight that, lash out as if they are restrained by something unwanted. As the mind comes awake the muscles release this and begin to work on command  and we lose our grip on the dream: perhaps even a nice one.  Stuff to fight over? Depends on how you feel. If nightmares it is odd that you dont mention specific details. This really sound more related to a waking issue as sleep is released  a combination of physical and mental influences driving an agitated response. In the past, when we didnt know the importance of the meaning of dreams, they were undervalued by everyone. Today we know that our dreams are very important not only because they show us a live map of what is happening inside our psyche, but because they give us objective information and guidance about everything that happens in our lives.  How can your dreams help you?  You have to start keeping a dream journal and a diary where youll take notes of the most important events of the day to begin receiving the help you require. Study the dream language according to the scientific method of dream interpretation the same way you study any foreign language, so that you may easily learn how to translate the dream images into words that make sense to your conscious mind. Your dreams usually talk about you and your life, especially in the beginning of your occupation with dream translation. Later they will give you information about other people and everything else you care about. This is why your diary will help you understand the dream messages. The unconscious mind that produces your dreams sends you answers to your questions in dream messages, information about the things that most worry you, and explanations about what is happening in your life. When you are worried about the results of your tests, the unconscious mind will relieve your anxiety by showi   ng you that everything will be fine.  When you are making mistakes, the unconscious mind will send you dream images about the past. You will see yourself as you were when you were younger, because you will be repeating a maladaptive behavior that characterized your personality when you were still immature. For example, in the previous day if you were thinking about quitting your job youll understand that the unconscious mind is sending you a warning. You must not be irresponsible like you were when you were a teen. You need this job and you should forget the idea about abandoning it. The unconscious mind will help you find a better job if this is the case, but you should be patient. Work where you are now, and learn everything you can. Tomorrow you may need the experience youll acquire for working in this job, or the good references youll have from there in order to work in a higher position there or somewhere else.  You will see dream symbols that have a positive meaning in your dreams after making some progress in dream interpretation, and after transforming your personality to a degree. The personality change is a positive result of dream therapy. Then you may see that you have found a key in a dream. This dream symbol shows you that you have finally found the solution you needed in order to solve a difficult problem. You only need to learn the meaning of the most important dream symbols and understand how the information contained in your dreams helps you correct mistakes in your behavior or eliminate illogical concepts and bad ideas you have formulated to effectively change your life in a positive and rewarding way.  In the beginning you should write all your dreams down and compare one dream to another, analyzing an entire dream collection, so that you may really learn the dream language. Once you get used with it, youll automatically translate all dream images into words, immediately understanding the dream messages. Christina Sponias continued Carl Jungs research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

Prejudice And Discrimination Against Indians Cultural Studies Essay
Prejudice And Discrimination Against Indians Cultural Studies Essay    The population in Singapore is about 4.9 million people, 3.7 million people are Singaporeans and Permanent Residents while the rest are foreigners. The ethnic distribution of Singaporeans is as follows, 9.2% of Singapores population is Indians, 13.4% of Singapores population is Malays, 74.2 % of Singapores population are Chinese, while the remaining 3.2% of Singapores population are Eurasians. (http://www.singstat.gov.sg/pubn/reference/sif2010.pdf)  From the above mentioned statistics Indians are one the minority groups in Singapore while the Singapore population is dominated by the Chinese race.  The following paper will highlight the racism against Indians in Singapore from the majority race which is the Chinese population. This topic has been chosen because the author has experienced racism in many forms from the Chinese population in Singapore, thus the author is able to relate to this topic better and give better suggestions to solve the problem on hand.  According to Nadra Kareem, one of the major causes of racism is because of the skin colour, where the minorities are rejected by the society and suffer verbal abuse because of their ethnic background. (http://racerelations.about.com/od/understandingrac1/a/internalizedracism.htm)  The following are two quotes taken from interviews (conducted by me) to strengthened Nadra Kareems statement.  Vinodini, 25  I was about 13 years old when this incident happened, I went to the swimming school with my female group of friends. I and my friends did not really know how to swim, we just went for the sake to try out something new. My group of friends were wearing our swimming costume and we were about to enter the pool when a Chinese man said to his wife Charcoal coming inside the pool lets go. At that point I felt so insulted. I did not know whether to scold him or just simply run away to escape the humiliation. From that day onwards I lost the interest in swimming and I have never worn a swimming costume.  The following statement illustrates the point that colour is a cause of racism, naturally swimming costumes tends to show more of the body and the Chinese man had to comment on her colour as charcoal. The respondents body is shamed by being referred to as charcoal (in relation to its black colour) and on a worse note the Chinese man felt that by the respondent entering the pool it meant that the man and his wife should leave the pool and that they cannot be in the same pool together. On a whole this incident is extremely damaging to Indians confidence in their body.  Thevandran, 16  During primary school there was an incident whereby a Chinese boy from my class would cover his nose and encourage other students to cover their noses because he thought I was smelly and dirty. When I confronted him he told me that it was his parents who told him that Indians dont bathe at all. That day I convinced myself that I did not want to socialize with the Chinese.  In both instances it can be noted that there are actually racially-motivated racism by the Chinese against the Indians in Singapore based on their colour. The multiple disgraceful terms such charcoal and dirty is mainly to mock the Indian body as inferior to theirs. Ardis C. Martin, M.D. states that if ones culture continues to be devalued it results in low self-esteem. (http://ap.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/32/4/338) In both cases above, the respondents felt insulted by the remarks that they received. Vinodini did not ever want to swim again while Thevandran did not want to socialise with Chinese to ease his pain.  Top of Form  Bottom of Form  Section III  WHY THIS PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION AFFECT SOCIETY AND IS IMPORTANT  The racism of Chinese against Indians in Singapore should not be treated lightly and must be treated seriously. One only has to look back into Singapores history and remember of the two racial events that nearly tore apart Singapore  The Maria-Hertogh Riots and 1964 Race Riots.  On 11 of December 1950 the court decided to award custody of Maria Hertogh (who was raised by Muslims) her biological Catholic parents. Outraged Muslims protested the decision which eventually led to rioting when images showing Maria Hertogh kneeling before a statue of Mother Mary were published. Rioting in Singapore lasted 3days. Many properties were destroyed but more importantly 173 people were injured and 18 were killed. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Hertogh_riots)  The 1964 Race Riots was a series of riots that took place in Singapore in July and September between Chinese and Malay racial groups. The racial violence killed 36 people and a further 556 people were injured. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_race_riots_in_Singapore)  The following two events illustrate how racial conflicts can destroy Singapore.  To deal with this situation the government has continuously and actively promoted racial harmony as the key pillar of the nation through various policies and measures emphasizing tolerance, understanding and respect among the different races and religions in Singapore. (http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne+News/Singapore/Story/A1Story20100429-213067.html)  Singaporeans are also constantly regularly reminded in official speeches of the racial in events in Singapores history and how it threatened to engulf the nation in turmoil. (http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/sp/nationaldayrally2009/090817_hard_work_on_harmony.html)  The situation in Britain/United Kingdom will now be discussed, whereby Indians there are one of the minority race groups and they are discriminated violently and viciously by the majority groups.  Even though the situation in Singapore regarding the racism against Indians by the Chinese may be seem as tame as compared to the situation in Britain/United Kingdom, lessons has to be learnt from those countries to prevent our nations future from becoming bleak as Britain and United Kingdom.  Section IV  WHERE CAN WE START TO FIX THE PROBLEM  Racism of Indians by the Chinese in Singapore results in marginalisation between the two groups and thus creates divide within the multi-racial society within Singapore. (http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne+News/Singapore/Story/A1Story20100429-213067.html)  There are many measures put in place by the government to tackle the issue of racism between the different racial groups. During Mr Lee Hsien Loong National Day Rally speech in 2009 he mentioned about Singapores efforts at fostering harmony among the different races and religions. (http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/sp/nationaldayrally2009/090817_hard_work_on_harmony.html).  The reason for doing so is to create social interaction between different races and thus promote cultural diversity among them. Examples to promote national integration between the different races include through promotion of public housing, national service, educational policies, the mass media and grassroots organizations.  One such measure I suggest to tackle the issue of racism against the Indians by the Chinese is to implement a system in primary schools whereby for one day a Indian student will have to live a Chinese students house. The next day the Chinese student will have to live in the Indian students house. This thus creates the social interaction required to foster harmony between the different racial groups. The reason for implementing this system during primary school is because young children are impressionable and through interaction at this age it will continue a trend to interact with other races as they grow up.  Martin Luther King once said I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I totally agree with him, through the implementation of my idea it will help Chinese in Singapore to judge Indians based on their character and nothing else, thus creating a harmonious and multi-racial Singapore for all to see.

The Canons logo, introduced in 1935. Although it changed allover to present logo as company grows. Without being affected these modifications, the strong character without absorbing it in the sweeping inward stroke of the C has remained intact from the day that the company was founded. Make great efforts to achieve for consistent behavior in communication since day one has greatly contributed to the worldwide.  The present canon logo contains a vivid red color, although it has undergone for a number of changes before it reaching the present logo.  In 1933, when precision optical instruments laboratory was established, they use the name Kwanon to cameras manufactured on the trails basis at this time. This title reflected the quality of being well meaning of Kwanon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, and include the companys vision of creating marvelous  magnificent cameras in the world. The logo also represent the image of the Goddess kwanon with 1000 arms and flames.  When the company attempt to find to begin full-scale marketing, it needed a fantastic brand name that all the people will accept in the world. So, for this an attitude to a particular issue, in 1935 the name Canon was registered as the official trademark. This word Canon has a number meanings such as scriptures, criterion and standard. The trademark therefore showing the qualities that deserve the specified action of a company involved with fact of being exact and accurate equipment, where accuracy is fundamentally important. It is also be an expression of the companys desire to meet world-class principal and industry standards. Although these both words Canon and Kwanon had the same pronunciations, the transition went smoothly.  A designer specializing in advertising created the original Canon logo in 1935. The C was exclusive in that its top end curved inward, ending in a sharp point. This style of particular design of type did not then exist in Europe or North America. The Canon name and logo were designed to show the companys global prospect, which it adopted right from beginning to the present.  In 1947, Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory underwent quite a few name changes before the adoption of Canon camera Co, Inc. This change was important in that Canon brand and company names were unified for the first time in its history. Several versions of logo were also used, until a unified version was created in 1953. After further clarification, the logo of present was perfected in 1955, it has remained unchanged for nearly half a century.

Mary Shelleys Frankenstein :: Essays Papers
Mary Shelleys Frankenstein	    	Unbelievably Mary Shelley wrote the novel Frankenstein  at the age of eighteen. This great work captures the imaginations of its  readers. Frankenstein remains one of the greatest examples of Gothic  literature. Unlike other Gothic novels of the time, however,  Frankenstein also  includes elements of Romantic writing, and therefore cannot be classified as  soley Gothic.      	Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was an English novelist. The daughter  of the British philosopher William Godwin and the British author and  feminist Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. Born in London in 1797, Mary was  privately educated. She met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in May  1814, and two months later she left England with him. When Shelley's first  wife died in December 1816, he married Mary. Maryââ¬â¢s first and most  important work, the novel Frankenstein, was begun on Lake Geneva in the  summer of 1816 as her contribution to a ghost-story competition. A  remarkable accomplishment for such a young writer, Frankenstein was a  success. No other work by Mary Shelley achieved the popularity or  excellence of this first work, although she wrote four other novels, books of  travel sketches, and miscellaneous tales. In 1818 the Shelleyââ¬â¢s left England  for Italy, where they stayed until Shelleyââ¬â¢s death. Only one of Maryââ¬â¢s and  Percyââ¬â¢s children survived, Percy Florence, and in 1823 Mary returned to  England with him and concentrated on his education and welfare. The image  of Mary Shelley presented by the biographers suggests an intensely private,  imaginatively exuberant, yet also emotionally withdrawn figure, whose  political melancholy and strong religious faith are intriguingly at odds with  the optimistic rationalism of her famous parents, and her poet husbandââ¬â¢s  atheistic radicalism.    	The story of Frankenstein begins in the polar ice of the Arctic Circle.  The ship of an English explorer, Walton, is trapped in the ice and is unable  to travel. During the day the men on board spotted a sledge, driven by a  huge man and drawn by dogs followed by Victor Frankenstein, a man in  very poor condition. Walton nursed him back to health as the stranger told  Walton his story.     	Victor Frankenstein was born in Geneva and at an early age showed  promise in the natural sciences. Victor was sent to a university when he  grew older, and thatââ¬â¢s where he stumbled on to the secret of creating life.  With great brilliance Victor created an eight-foot monster and gave him life  through electricity.    	Once Victor had realized what he had done he panicked and left the  creature. When the creature wondered into the city everyone he met  screamed and ran away. Finally the creature found a place to live in a

A Streetcar Named Desire, by Tennessee Williams Essay -- A Streetcar Na
   ENGLISH ESSAY    Ã  Ã  Ã  Ã  Ã  In the play A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams uses his brilliant writing to bring life to his characters in the story. I will be composing a character sketch on Stanley, one of the main actors in the play. I will focus on evaluating Stanley's ever changing character traits in the role he plays. They consist of different moods that he demonstrates during the play: his aggressiveness, his love for Stella and also his rudeness and cruelty towards Blanche.    Ã  Ã  Ã  Ã  Ã  Let's begin by talking about the way Stanley's aggressiveness affects the climax of the play. During scene three, while the boys were playing poker, Blanche and Stella come into the kitchen and, as a result, disrupt the games.  This got Stanley very angry and violent . For this reason he got up and began attacking Stella. Here is a passage from that scene: ' Men: Take it easy, Stanley, easy fellow,--Let's all--. Stella: You lay your hands on me and I'll—'(57) This just proves what I was saying about one of Stanley's moods. His violence and the fact that he looses control of his actions is one characteristic which I didn't particularly like at all about Stanley. Here's another passage in Scene 10 that really show's how mean Stanley really is. This scene depicts when Stanley gets into a fight with Blanche. The scene concludes on a sour note when Blanche breaks a bottle top on the table and try's to hurt Stanley . Stanley says: 'Oh! S...

Ancient History Essay
Queens played great roles during the period of New kingdom Egypt. They were known as the Great Royal Wifeââ¬â¢s of the pharaohs and contributed politically, religiously and diplomatically influencing the roles of women during this period, and even future queens. Queen Tiye was an important influence on new kingdom Egypt and was the key wife of Amenhotep III and they ruled a peaceful reign. Tiye was the daughter of Yuya which was a officer in the chariotry, priest of min and Tuya (chief of harem of Amun and min) which both had Nubian royal blood origins.  Married at a young age, one year after he became pharaoh and gave her the title Great royal wife. Also gave birth to arkhenaten and other children. She greatly shaped foreign relations, religion and politics at the time. She also was greatly altered depictions of the queen in art. She was well educated, competent and complementary rather than dependant on her spouse Amenhotep III impacting the role of women during the period. Historian Robins highlights that the ââ¬Å"king could renew himself through female principleâ⬠¦ important ritual rolesâ⬠ proving the queen was of key importance to the pharaoh.  Tiye was Represented as the same size as her husband Amenhotep III and was considered to be a traditional queen. She was a leading figure in solar theology however more untraditional inclined changes came with iconography during her time as Great Royal Wife becoming increasingly equal to that of her husband. This proposed the idea that the role of the queen was becoming progressively more important, therefore the depiction of her in equal proportions to her husband suggests that the roles were becoming split between the pharaoh and the queen.  Unlike other queens she was also frequently present in his monuments. She was besides her husband amenhotep III colossal statue in the Medinet Habu temple located in Western Thebes and was also the same size representing her equality. The cobra depicted them as powerful gods. She was glorified and praised by Amenhotep III which is proven by him building her the largest man-made pleasure lake in history, erecting a beautiful palace at one end. Art also depicted her in family scenes which previously were regarded as too intimate such as being Arm in arm(statues).  Through the roles of Tiye, future queens Nefertiti and Nefertari we are able to observe the changing roles of queens influenced them and clearing path for them. The kings built temples to honour them and depicted them as goddesses. Queen Tiye played a great religious role and according to Historian Nicholas Grimal she was the personification of Maat goddess of justice and truth. She was also depicted as goddess ta weret in statues representing fertility and motherhood (mother of Egyptians). A temple was also dedicated to her in Sedianga(Nubia) meaning she was worshiped as a goddess.  Commemorative and marriage scarabs were made for her publicising their marriage and promoting the pharaonic cult as everyone that attended received one meaning they would be remembered. She also participated in religious festivals such as the Sed festival. She also served as a priestess within Amun-Re suggesting that her religious roles were not extensive yet they were still an increase on the contributions to that of her predecessors. A Khan Academy Documentary by Beth Harris shows a headdress worn by Tiye that included horns solar disk, referring to the religion Atenism which is monotheistic and regal promoting the god Aten.  Horns and Feathers on headdress also related to the goddess Hathor. Tiye Served for 50 years as queen advocating political stability, which was widespread and when Amenhotep III was ill she also maintained this stability. She was portrayed as the Sphinx in a pharonic stance which is evident in Tefnut. Meaning similar to the Sphinx Tiye hunts and protects people Egypt. A Steven Khan academy documentary highlighted Tiyeââ¬â¢s stable ruling and the fact that she was important and knowledgeable, therefore her son Akhenaten depended on her and respected her, having her actively participate in politics and the affairs of royal court.  She was respected and depended on, and in order to have her actively participate in politics and the affairs of the royal court, he elevated her to a goddess which is shown by the headdress she wore. (Same headdress mentioned above). Armana letters show her foreign and diplomatic power and that she conversed with hittites and mittani addressing diplomatic affairs which were a integral part of Tiyeââ¬â¢s role and contribution.  Evidence has made it clear that at least one foreign ruler wrote to her personally concerning matters of state and requesting her support. ââ¬Å"Tushratta king of Mitanniâ⬠ wrote to her personally(Amarna Letters) following death of her husband and other foreign rulers also wrote to her concerning matters of state or asking for support in requests for gold. Tushratta also wrote a letter to Queen Tiye after Akhenaten came to the throne, and in a later letter to Akhenaten, a reference to his mother is made in the opening paragraph outlining her importance to him.  This illustrates the realisation of foreign powers regarding the growing importance and involvement of the queen concerning decision making in relation to Egypt, it also shows the power the queen was beginning to obtain over the pharaoh. She was also the first queen in Egypt to have name on official acts and announcement of the kings marriage to a foreign princess. The achievement, contributions and influence during the New kingdom period of Tiye differed according to their respective influences. Through the roles of Tiye, we are able to observe the changing roles of queens over time.  Tiye was considered to be a traditional queen who greatly influenced queens to come by the power she held mainly politically and diplomatically. Over the time we are able to see that the roles had evolved . The roles contributions of queen Tiye during the new kingdom periods were defiantly an increase on that of queens before them, as they gained vital positions and roles as the Great Royal Wife and also achieved considerable increases in power over Egypt. Another influential Queen during this period was the wife of Akhenaten Nefertiti.  She had a enormous influence on religion and politics in Egypt at the time. She was also depicted in art and played a vital role in her husbands reign and was given pharonic attributes. Nefertiti was seen to be more military minded, wearing the war crown and military skirts in images of her. She had a great religious role during the time while polytheistic tradition changed to a monotheistic ones. She supported the new monotheistic religion to such an extent that she changed her name to ââ¬ËNefertieferuaten Nefertitiââ¬â¢.  Many also believe she was the ââ¬Ëbrainââ¬â¢ behind the religious revolution. She Fully participated in religious ceremonies as seen in relics such as the Hewet-Benben temple in East Karnak. She made offerings to Aten like her husband and prayers were even offered to her. Nefertiti was the female principle of the trinity which the Egyptians prayed to, proving she was regarded as a god alongside Akhenaten and Aten. According to historian Anna Capel, Nefertiti wasnââ¬â¢t only a high priestess but acted as liaison between the people and Aten.  Jimmy Dunn described them as the ââ¬Å"primeval first pairâ⬠ as Aten accessed through them influencing religion. Images of her as a goddess were found on the tomb of Akhenaten to protect him in the afterlife. In art depictions Nefertiti considered age of truth in natural state. Reliefs showed her in her natural state including her imperfections and showing her age. A new form of art by her also showed her in her natural state and allowed reveals of intimacy and informality, even affection and family scenes in which other queens had never been shown before.  Her pharaonic power was shown as she was seen wearing crown of pharaohs which was regarded as controversial and contributed to the developing image of women in the royal family at the time which is a new form of art as highlighted by historian Jimmy Dunn. Politically Nefertiti was very powerful and had a great pharaonic role. Akhenaten stressed regalty by making her of equal power during processions. She was also depicted wearing the royal regalia and smiting enemies which proved her pharaonic role and was usually a symbol associated with the pharaoh.  This influenced the image of women and queens during the time, impacting the traditional roles of queens, giving them more power. Many Historians such as John Harris agree that she shared a co-regency with Akhenaten towards the end of his reign, as the pharaoh Neferneferuaten as his equal. This is depicted by images of her Adjacent to Akhenaten as they received gifts. Historians also have a belief that her political role was so powerful that she was the successor Smenkhare. Nefertiti also had a diplomatic influence and was involved in political issues.  This was shown through the letters of Amarna displaying communication with foreign kings and queens. She also received foreign tributes and envoys. This proves that she had the political power to interact and make vital diplomatic decisions influencing Egypt. In conclusion both Queens, Tiye and Nefertiti had vital contributions and impacts to New Kingdom Egypt as they played enormous religious, political and foreign roles and enhanced the equality between pharaohs and their queens and even women during the period.    
The Female Economy: Article Review
Citation Silverstein, M. J. , and Sayre, K. (2009, September). The Female Economy. Harvard Business Review.  succinct The article begins by stating that women  this instant  commence the world economy.  It goes on to discuss how women now  tally a large  part of consumer spending, and that portion is expected to grow. Silverstein and Sayre discuss how companies   ar  non taking seriously the  detail that they may not  prolong the  outdo strategy when it comes to  market placeing towards the female market.They  carp at or flat out  trim down the female consumer. dell is used as an example of such companies. The article discusses Dells failed attempt market laptops specifically to women. In May of 2009, it launched Della web berth, complete with a make it  bump motto and topics  found on female stereotypes. Instead of  challenge to the women, it actually caused an uproar among them. Women felt the  locate was condescending. They posted blogs everywhere expressing their disgust towards    the site. as yet though Dell was quick to respond to making the necessary corrections, Silverstein and Sayre question  wherefore their marketers failed to see the potential problems before the site went up. The authors then discuss a 2008  speculate conducted by the Boston Consulting Group. More than 12,000  assorted women in all areas of life were asked  one hundred twenty questions about their finances, education, careers, relationships, activities and hobbies, fears, and also their spending patterns and shop behavior.The study revealed that women were grossly underserved and there was  heaps of room for improvement. They continue to be undervalued  make up though they have great market power and social position. Women have  umteen demands on them juggling work, family, and home, and few companies have taken action on their  wishing for products and services designed specifically for women and for  cartridge holder saving solutions. Reaction Companies  acquire to  gather and under   stand the buying power that females possess.They represent one of the largest market opportunities ever. Until recently, companies believed their marketing strategies were  equally effective to women and men. That proved to be an  erroneous assumption. Women approach big ticket  acquire completely differently than men do. They  prime their decisions on a different  situated of perceptions, priorities and preferences. Companies should be combining insight on female gender culture with  straight marketing know-how and develop strategies that attract womens business.Effectively targeting women leads to higher customer  triumph among both men and women. Companies like BMW, Wyndham Hotels and Merrill lynch have found that improvements designed to  heighten brand appeal among women actually  support greater customer satisfaction among men, too. When you  edge the expectations of women, companiesexceed the expectations of men. Marketing to women delivers a  give return on the marketing  lo   ng horse through both greater  fortune and greater impact.While in  some categories the traditional male targets are saturated, the  jibe womens segments are untapped and nearly uncontested by competition. The authors effectively  film to light the wrong approach that companies are taking when it comes to marketing to women. Simply adding pink to the campaign, which many companies erroneously do, will not suffice. They need to go back to the  picture boards. Services and products need to fill the gap. Companies need to aim their marketing efforts to women by visual perception them as employees, managers, investors, and buyers.

Developing a Motivational Plan Essay
A  motive  innovation for  whatsoever school is extremely important for the  victor of every educational program. Students who   atomic number 18  non  inspired   all(prenominal)ow for not learn and in turn  wint succeed. M whatever  comp  onenessnts should be included in a motivational  curriculum so that all the  inescapably of  savants are met and each student has  closings that are attainable and  clear be reached. According to Hersey (2008), Goals should be  hard-boiled  full(prenominal)  adequate that a  soulfulness has to stretch to reach them but low enough that they  piece of tail be attained. Goal  clotheting,  quits, both  discernible and non- tactual, and a sense of be foresightfuling are motivational components that should be included in a motivational plan.The first part of a motivational plan that I would  find one self essential for my school would be goal setting. At the current school that I work at, I feel  handle this is a missing part of our motivational plan and    it greatly affects our students. Without goals, the students dont know what they are works towards, this  pretends confusion and a detachment from the meaning of education. Although  near students  may set personal goals, I feel like its important for there to be group goals so that the students  potentiometer work  together to achieve them and be    more(prenominal) than than motivated.Goals should be set high, but not so high that students cant achieve them. Goals that are too high would do the opposite of motivate, it would create despair and students would  occur up eventually beca subprogram they would know that their effort is not worthwhile. Setting goals that are attainable  go away motivate students and  go away give students the confidence that they  engage to  shroud their efforts in reaching additional goals. If students know that they can reach a goal, something that is attainable and reachable, theyll be more motivated to try so that they can  convey that feeling of a   ccomplishment.Another important aspect of goal setting is that the goals are changed and updated frequently so that students  unceasingly  commit something to work for. Once a student achieves a particular goal, the motivation  give be gone unless they  make believe something else to work towards, something else to motivate them. Hersey (2008)  likewise supports this idea by stating, Once the child  passs  technological in attaining a particular goal, it becomes appropriate for the  lift to provide an opportunity for the child to identify and set new goals. So, its my plan to work with the students to create attainable goals frequently so that students have  unvaried motivation and something that they can always work towards. I  study that goal setting is a  study component of any motivation plan and this will be the main  focal point behind mine. I feel that its extremely important that students have goals and something to work towards, otherwise there will be no motivation behind    their actions.The second component of my motivation plan will be tangible and intangible rewards. Students will work towards something and be more motivated if they receive something in return. This is similar to why anyone get a job. They work hard and  complete(a) actions in order to receive the tangible reward of money and the intangible reward of accomplishment. Students are  vent to be more motivated and work harder if they will get something in return for their hard work, whether its intangible like a feeling, or tangible, like  trustworthy grades or rewards. It is no surprise, then, that to improve  academician achievement of middle school students, winnerful programs  carry the social contexts for both intrinsic motivation and internalized  extraneous motivation (Wilson & Corpus, 2001).Although studies have shown that extrinsic rewards are  except beneficial short term and can be detrimental in long term situations, (Corpus &Wilson, 2001), I believe that every now and then a    tangible reward is needed and can  leave is a positive outcome and increased motivation. An  exemplar of this is a current motivational strategy that we use at my current school regarding  allows for good grades, citizenship, and good attendance. Students get awards every semester for achieving milestones in these categories and I believe that it does increase student motivation. If a student is  fuddled to the end of the semester and has a B+ in one class, they will are motivated to raise that one grade in order to get the highest award presented to them in front of their parents, teachers, and students, since we do the award  ceremonial during the school day. I have personally seen the motivation that is created by these awards and I plan to include this in my motivational plan as well.Intangible awards can also be very successful in creating motivation and are more beneficial long term although short term effects may not be as common as with the tangible rewards. Students respon   d to intrinsic rewards like  sycophancy, self assurance, and accomplishment. There are, however, many intangible rewards, such as praise or power, that are just as important and effective for use as incentives when endeavoring to  adjure a particular behavior (Hersey, 2008). To incorporate this into my plan I would like to see more praise for good behavior, as well as  crowing students more  woofs in the classroom. By giving students choices, they will feel more empowered by their choice and feel more accomplished when they achieve it, resulting in increase motivation.Finally, I would like to see a good sense of community and  drop deading in my school community. According to Glasser (1985), the five basic needs common to all people are the need for  be, power, fun, freedom, and survival. With a sense of belonging, students will have more ownership over their behavior and will be more motivated to succeed. Its been my experience that students that are out-casts arent motivated to su   cceed because they have no reason to, no one to share their success with. The opposite would happen if students feel like they belong and have someone to share their motivation and success with.Overall, more than one component is important to any successful motivational plan. My plan will focus on goal setting, rewards, and a sense of belonging or community within my school. With these  work outs I promise that my students will be motivated to learn and become better students and people. Its my belief that although many factor are essential to a motivation plan, its crucial that goals are set so that students have something to work towards. Without a goal to work towards, students  wint feel like they have a reason to be motivated. These are the components that will be included in my motivational plan for my  next school.

(1988). Triangulating  go to bed. In R. J. Sternberg & M. L. Barnes (Eds. ), The psychology of  chouse (pp. 119-138).  individually comp binglent of  pick out has  disembodied spirits that we  make out when   take place across a  psyche who  evict be a potential  presbyopic  end point mate. With the  practice of  divers(prenominal)  chemical  spirits, the  nous regulates these  beliefings. To  wake up   trust term  fealty all sections  moldiness be  composite. However, this  practically does  non happen.  succession these   regardr circuits and emotion   s  scarper with  to each  champion courseer(a) in a  estimable and ful overindulgeing  jazz relationship, they  roll in the hay and do  hold out  on an individual basis of  unmatched a nonher(prenominal).You  chamberpot be bonded with  adept  soulfulness, absurd with  some other and  confuse sex with withal a   troika  psyche (Schaeffer, pg 27). Schaeffers  controversy connects to the   ballpark chord- flair system  possibleness. The   primary(prenominal)(prenominal)  judgement of the theory is that  on that point  atomic number 18  tierce sections of the   encephaloniacs of   humanitykind  throw away  demonstrable  on with the  maven of  prior animal ancestors. Our  mavins  be  non  in  increment  disparate from animals because the  of import   firing away is that our  soul functions on  iii  discordent levels. such(prenominal) aspects of the human brain  ar reasons for   contrastive  draw poker cues and how they  shift establish on the  soulfulness when choosing a mate.  contactIn    detail, the  matter comp binglent  al unity, which is  place as  craving,  gos in  p stopping pointered instances.  such liking  blow overs when   someone experiences only the  matter component of  spot during the absence seizure of the  madness and  last/ allegiance components. The  psyche  often feels closeness, a bond, and  warmness toward each other, without  importunate  fury or  want term  consignment. The  choler component,  unlike the  involvement component, has  oestrus without  lading and  thing.  stuffiness or liking, associates with  attachment and how the  moxie of sight  surrenders one to  watch out the  come across of an  attractive force person, creating an  heart on the brain. The chemical that results from  corporal  attracter (or lust) is phenyl ethylamine or  pea. It is a   vividly occurring  upper  totality from inside the brain that stimulates and increases  somatic and  mad  vital force. The initial  draw  in the midst of  2 individuals causes one to  garden    truck   to a greater extent than(prenominal) pea plant which results in those dizzying feelings associated with  wild-eyedistist  delight.  other  perfume that is released by  pea is dopamine. This chemical increases a desire to be   naturally close and  comfortably connected. When these chemicals  atomic number 18   beness secreted in bigger doses, they  place signals from the brain to the other organs of the   fashion.If you wonder  wherefore you or someone is attracted to the legal injury person, it whitethorn be because you  be  uplifted on the  forcible  rejoinder to these substances, which  evoke your  exponent to use your head and  apply  pricey  image and  leafy vegetable  grit (True  screw and  alchemy).  devotion is  exceedingly  decent and it  spate be the   rootage of a  recollective  pertinacious relationship.  investigate shows that signals that come from the body  piece of tail  suck an  exercise of a persons feelings of attractive feature for  some other. Psychologis   ts Donald G. Dutton and Arthur P. Aron created  ternion experiments which show a relationship  betwixt  secure levels of  perplexity and  leader.Male passersbys were communicated  any on a fear-arousing  rupture  twain or a non-fear arousing  link up by a  handsome   adolescent-bearing(prenominal)  evaluator who asked them to fill out questionnaires.  apart from the  ascendancy group,  on that point were results proving that more  trouble was  levyd during the  experimental bridge. In other words,  friendship caused anxiety.  choler The  animosity component alone, classified as  wild, is  usually phrased as  creation  eff at  for the first  metre sight. In this  crabby component,  kip down is  substituted into  arrested development by treating the  quisling as an idealised  intention sooner than as him or himself.thither is a cure for  compaction and one must get to k at once the   bearing glass of ones  compaction  truly well. An  substitute(a)  antecedent is to  buy the  distantm     convinced that one has  abruptly no  believe of attaining the object of ones  compaction.  jams major  enigma is that it tends to be obsessive.  tidy sum experiencing  crunch tend to  steadily  focalize on the  get it on, which causes one to  go down on   sequence, energy, and motivation from other  probative things in ones life. On Roberts triangle, infatuated  bash relationships form in an  corrupt figure.In   formulation for (Sternberg & Barnes 1985) reveals that the  gamyer(prenominal) the degree of asymmetry, the  change magnitude  opportunity that a relationship is  addicted to distress. The  animosity component, or infatuation stage, is  gibe with  be intoxicated. These feelings  h octaden from chemical of dopamine. PEA is a substance that discharges dopamine and when we fall in  go to sleep our brain directs signals for  redundant dopamine.  hoi polloi argon in a  talented state of  judgment  delinquent to dopamines  do on us. These feelings  be common when we  deal  simply   terflies or we  ar  wispy in the knees during the  clip we   ar well-nigh the person we   jockey.A  piece of work created in 2002 by an anthropologist named Helen fisher, revealed these feelings imputable to the  dissemination of dopamine. fisher  collect 40 young  instrumentalists who were  deucedly in  kip down.   fractional(prenominal) were  have it away in return,  opus the other half was experiencing  neck rejection.  for each one  participant was  place in a magnetic resonance imaging with a   picture show of their  dear(p) and one of an  knowledge. They all st atomic number 18d at the  photo of their  knockout for 30 seconds,  because  subsequently a distraction, they would look at the acquaintance photo for  other 30 seconds. E veryone was  work shift  spikelet and forth for  somewhat 12 minutes.This  issue  sight that the photos of the participants  peachs created the  dissemination of dopamine into various sections of the brain including the  rat  dorsal  scissor-tailed an   d its tail, which argon the  important  split of the brains system for  refund and motivation. In cases where dopamine levels  be  lavishly the feeling of  go in  hunch forward is speedy and powerful,  causation an  regression to occur with the person who  go againsts them that feeling. The increase levels of dopamine explain why  throng long for the feeling that love one give them.  finale/ commissionOne of the  just  virtually  hollow components has to be the   utilization/ consignment component alone, know as  exhaust love. The  vacate love forms as a result from someone  hardly making a decisiveness to love one  some other without  friendship or  animosity  macrocosm present.  ordinarily this type of love is  set up in  dormant relationships and  spousal relationships that  shoot  garbled the attraction and  excited  plump for for one a nonher. Lazarus (1985) identifies that when  hymeneals is  wholly  base on  consignment, the other  lose components  ar very  tall(prenominal) t   o  set in the marriage. put down love is know for  cosmos  sloping in the triangle.  afterward Sternberg explained the components in an individual manner, he began  cartel the components and created  assorted forms of love.  freight is connected to how the human brain correlates with reproduction. We are biologically make to  spue and  hold back on genes. As  farther as your genes are concerned, your principal  put-on  epoch youre  awake(p) is to conceive offspring, bring them to  maturity and  accordingly  obligingly die so you dont  accept resources  wear out  fagged on the young. Anything that encourages you to  vibrating reed now and neckc dealh plenty gets that  put-on through (The  cognition of  beg). These drives are contri thoed to the  go of selecting a  first mate with the help of biological cues.  forthwiths  night club refers this  dish out to  squeeze and a feeling of love. Our  order of magnitude has changed the drives for  perpetration with others.  in that respect is    an  extra  core of time  attached to the process of love  preferably of reproducing children.  freight is a  real factor for having  healthy babies  and the societies today are  center on how and why  community  assimilate  intractable to commit to one spouse.  physical bodys of  acknowledge amatory love is  organize through the  faction of conversance and  estrus.  plenty who experience  sentimentalist love have a physical attraction and emotions for one a nonher. For example, a  summer love  stinker  render  quixotic love,  alone  in that respect is not a real chance for it to last beyond the summer. such(prenominal) lovers feel an  main(prenominal)  impatience for one another and feel that they  peck  arrant(a) their souls to one another as well. A counter  course is condition by Hartfield and Walster (1981) by stating that  wild-eyed love does not differ from infatuation. Many possibilities    may occur in such a love.Romantic lovers  throw out  sympathise that they may or may    not have many things in common. In some cases, a friendship  provoke  advantageously change into a romantic love,  callable to the  confusion for one another and the  vexation that draws them  unneurotic.  neighborly love results from the  faction of  engagement and  finish/ freight components of love.  friendly love is  place as a  long  committed friendship. The  vexation goes away although the  association remains.  about  bulk are  cheerful with this type of love. However, some  race find it  problematic  surviving without some kind of  love affair  button on.As a solution,  concourse  superpower have  personal business to  pass on their  hunger for such  court.  forgetful love requires the  gang of love and the decision/commitment components of love. Hollywood courtships experience  empty love  nigh of time. in one case the passion wears out, commitment is left. However, commitment requires a lot of time and energy to develop.  multitude involved in  hollow love  regard that ma   rriage is enlightenment and a solution to all their worries and concerns. They are not  aware of what is  indispensable to  go for a marriage. These  population  generate a lot for passion and lack  association.The combination of  engagement, passion, and commitment forms  accomplish love.  solely components being present in  realize love allow  race to  sieve for this type of love, especially those in romantic relationships. Having this love  passel be  exceedingly difficult, but maintaining this love is far more challenging. We do not  hear  carry out love because we have the  propensity to  bind it for those that have much more  marrow for us. The  pursuit graph shows Sternbergs typology of the love relationships. -  table 1. Sternbergs Typology of  delight in  consanguinitys  beloved  office ___________________________ Kind of  ap test Relationship Intimacy  making love decisiveness/ freight Nonlove  unkept  confused  busted  appetency  in high spirits  low-pitched  impoverished    Infatuation  downcast  last  pocket-sized Empty love  outset  moo  uplifted Romantic love  spunky  full(prenominal)  depressed  friendly love  higher(prenominal)  woeful  spicy  forgetful love  pitiful senior high school  gamy  carry out love  spunky  heights  amply ______________________________________________________________________________  tear down   blend in to Sternberg (e. . , 1986), the three  rudimentary components of loveintimacy, passion, and decision/commitmentcombine to produce eight  divergent types of love relationship. For example, infatuation- base relationships are characterized by   relatively high levels of passion but relatively low levels of intimacy and commitment. yard for Sternbergs three-sided  be intimate  speculation Sternberg designed a questionnaire, the Sternberg  angular  cacoethes  racing shell (STLS), in order to  broadsheet the components of love in his theory.  some studies were  do on the  graduated table alone (e. g. Sternberg, 191987, 1997 W   hitley, 1993). The  case has  turn up to have good measures of the components,  curiously of passion and commitment.  haemorrhoid were  stable for up to  cardinal months for the  identical relationship. Sternberg make assumptions that over time the  win  bequeath change. In one  psychoanalyse,  at that place were 204  self-aggrandizing participants  betwixt the ages 18 to 68 65  percentage were  unite (Acker & Davis, 1992). On average, the relationships were going for 9. 5 years. As Sternberg predicted, the  oodles of commitment  raised(a)  inwardly relationships that shifted from  date to marriage.Roberts  vaticination of intimacy  fall over time was  in any case  turn out in the study. However, deuce different measures of intimacy  change magnitude over time. A different study assessed German adults for their relationship between the three components,  knowledgeable activity, and  comfort (Grau & Kimpf, 1993). In the theory, it is predicted that the  standard of passion should be    powerfully  agree to  knowledgeable activity, but the results prove that intimacy is  nearly related to  familiar  sort and sexual satisfaction. Conclusions and  prospective StudyThe  precede  instruction matters because love is hard to  trace and varies for others, which makes Sternbergs theory an informative  simulate of all types of relationships. An addition to all the components,  training on how the brain  whole kit and caboodle while dropping in love, allows people to  get wind the biological process of love.  applaud  ass be classified in many forms and the brain helps select our  equal based on the  immanent genetic science of needing to reproduce. Arguments in the paper fit together and prove the dissertation statement, such as dopamine creating  blessed feelings when in love and genes  teaching  wrinkle is to reproduce.Further  move that need to be interpreted in the  field of study of the  cover research, is researching the intention of love. There can be a study  throug   h with(p) on participants and how they   say of the purpose of love.  object  tuition should come from science and religion.  therefore the  inwrought and intention findings can be compared and contrasted to form a conclusion.
