400 Word Essay
Writing a 400-word essay may sound deceptively simple, given its limited word count. However,
the challenge lies in crafting a concise yet coherent piece that effectively conveys your thoughts
on the chosen subject. The restriction forces you to carefully select your words, making every
sentence count. It demands a keen sense of prioritization, as you must decide what information
is crucial and what can be omitted to stay within the prescribed limit.
Expressing complex ideas within such constraints requires precision and clarity. The writer must
navigate the fine line between depth and brevity, ensuring that the essay remains insightful
without becoming overly verbose. The struggle to strike this balance often becomes a test of
one's ability to distill thoughts into their most essential form.
Furthermore, crafting a compelling introduction and conclusion within the limited word count
adds an additional layer of difficulty. These sections are pivotal for engaging the reader and
summarizing the main points, demanding careful consideration to ensure a seamless flow.
Time management is another crucial aspect. The constraints of a short essay necessitate efficient
planning to allocate adequate time for brainstorming, outlining, writing, and revising. Meeting
the word count requirement while maintaining quality necessitates a disciplined and strategic
approach.
The challenge is not only about fitting ideas into a small space but also about maintaining the
essay's coherence. Abrupt transitions or fragmented arguments can be detrimental to the overall
impact. Therefore, a writer must carefully organize their thoughts to create a smooth and logical
progression of ideas.
In conclusion, writing a 400-word essay is not as straightforward as it may seem. It demands a
unique set of skills, including concise expression, prioritization, and effective time management.
The writer must tread carefully to avoid sacrificing depth for brevity or vice versa. While
challenging, mastering this form can be a rewarding exercise in precision and clarity.
For those seeking assistance in tackling such challenges, it's worth noting that HelpWriting.net
offers a range of services, including support with essay writing. Whether it's refining your skills
or seeking professional guidance, resources like these can be valuable tools in navigating the
intricacies of essay composition.

Christian Worldview Research Paper
A worldview can be described as a particular conception of the universe and its
origin based on a person s values that come from influences such as religious,
societal, and perceptional factors. It can help ground a person and it serves as an
explanation of reality and the nature of one s existence. A person of Christian faith
bases their worldview around the teachings of God and the Holy Bible. By studying
the Christian worldview, one can learn about the way they perceive the world
through God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration. Christians believe that God is an all
powerful supernatural and sentient being that is all loving, forgiving, and the origin
of life. It is almost impossible to describe all of God s attributes because he is an

Australian Human Rights
Currently the Australian Constitution identifies five explicit human rights which
every Australian is entitled to. Section 51 (xxxi) expresses that property can only be
taken from a State or person by the Commonwealth on just terms. Section 80 details
that everyone has a right to a fair trial by a jury and section 116 implies freedom of
religion in that no laws are to be made in order to define or prohibit any religion
(Findlaw Australia, 2016). Section 41 of the Australian Constitution gives citizens the
right to vote by stating that no person should be prevented from voting for
representatives in the House of the Parliament of the Commonwealth
(Commonwealth Consolidated Acts, unkown). Section 117 conveys that no

Common law is set by precedents and customs that have been developed over
lengthy periods of time rather that statutes. It allows judges to interpret current
legislation which allows for flexibility when difficult and unique cases arise. When
precedents are set a common law is created, for example the unique case of Kevin
and Jennifer v Attorney General (2001). This case was the first in Australia to deal
with the topic of transexuatal marriage. It followed the example of the United
Kingdom s Corbett v Corbett (1971) case which defined what it was to be female or
male (Oxford University Press, 2003). The Australian courts decision to allow Kevin,
a transextual man, to marry meant that any future transexual people who wished to
do the same were permitted by common law. Although common law is set by
magistrates, the Commonwealth Government is able to expand or reduce common
law as they see necessary (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2015). Important
human rights are protected by common law including the presumption of innocence
and the right to sue for false imprisonment (Australian Human Rights Commision,
2009). Common law is not a solidly structured form of human rights protection
although it does allow flexibility within court cases while the ability for the
government to alter common law provides further assurance in that no common law
can not be altered. Issues may also arise from allowing the government to possess
this power because while Australia is a democracy, voters may not consider human
rights as an important issue when choosing who they would like to govern

Definition Of Heroes
Heroes At the beginning of last week I was asked the question What is a hero?
Without a hesitation I answered someone with powers who puts their powers to
work when someone is in need of a hand. As the week continued I started to read
poems, texts, and look in the perspectives of others towards heroes. I became more
open minded and generated a new outlook on heroes. A herodoesn t have to be
someone with powers, capes, and enemies that they have to battle with. A hero can
also be a person who risks their life for the better of someone else s life. Included in
this hero comes courage, bravery, strong minded, and many other characteristics.

One of the texts that I read was from this book that my school provides to all the
students, springboard. In this book there was a passage that was called A Man.
Although I read many texts this one captured my eye most. A man starts off with a
sad tone. It talks about how while fighting for his country, he lost an arm and was
suddenly afraid. After continuing to read the poem the tone of the narrator begins
to become more positive. He ends off the poem by saying From that moment on,
he set himself to do everything with twice as much enthusiasm. And where the arm
had been torn away a wing grew. This poem was heroic because from the start it
talks about him being a soldier. Soldiers are heroes, each and every one of them.
Not many people have the courage to put their life on the line for our country. The
reason why I feel protected and safe is because of these soldiers. I have the
freedom to speak, think, and act how I want because of these heroes. But, not only
that, he is someone to look up to for not taking his disability and letting himself
down. Instead, he took it and learned how to live with it. I am almost positive that
most people I know would use their disability as an excuse. Not only that but they
would dwell on it for the rest of their lives. This man knew he had either his life or
one of his features/body parts on the line when he agreed to be a soldier. He

A Study On Capital Structure Theory Essay
Literature Review
Capital structure theory has long been a controversial issue in the finance literature.
The two Novel laureates, Franco Modigliani and Metron Miller (here after called M
M) were the first to present a formal model in 1958 on valuation of capital structure
in corporate finance theory and is still the cornerstone of modern corporate finance.
MM were the first to take a sharp look at the relationship between Capital Structure
and the cost of capital. In their seminal papers (1958, 1963), they states some
propositions. In proposition I they postulated that debt has no value for firms in a
tax free world. In a no tax scenario the investors can offset the debt by replicating its
financial actions. This proposition got the name MM theory of irrelevance .
Though their proposition theoretically sounds good but it is only valid under
perfect market conditions (no tax is one of them) which were not actually possible
in real world. They corrected this proposition in 1963 incorporating the effect of tax
on value and cost of the capital of the firm (Modigliani and Miller 1963). Their new
proposition II contends that, in the world of corporate tax, the value of the firm
depends on the variation of the debt level and tax shield benefit on interest payments.
When corporate taxes are taken into consideration, the value of a firm increases
linearly with debt equity ratio because of interest payments being tax exempted. M
M s work has been at the centre stage of the

Sun Dance Analysis
The American prison system currently represents a state of growing insecurity as
inmates arrested for minor offenses receive harsh punishment resulting in solitary
confinement. In light of reports indicating that prolonged solitary confinement
produces severe psychological damage equivalent to experiencing torture, former
American Indian Movement (AIM) leader Leonard Peltier demonstrates an exception
by establishing a personal connection with indigenous spirituality. Despite how many
inmates within the American prisonsystem collapse under prolonged duress while in
solitary confinement, the experiences described by Peltier suggest that reliance on
internal rather than on external forces produces an enhanced state of security. As
evidenced... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Sun Dance provides indigenous communities with strength as they experience
hardship (Shrubsole 6). Having a spiritual connection with Sun Dance suggests that
while spirituality may provide a sense of personal security, its potential to change an
entire political system placing severe constraints on movement and freedom remains
in conflict with Christian norms. However, the relationship between indigenous and
Christian spirituality in Prison Writings suggest that sacrificing oneself to achieve
personal security represents a more engaging and wholly satisfying process (Peltier
11). Despite how Peltier lived for twenty three years in solitary confinement, his
experiences suggest an even further exception of living by Christian norms
subjugating indigenous people to decades of colonial rule. Though Peltier felt
isolated from other inmates while living in solitary confinement, his connections to
indigenous spirituality indicated the capacity for demonstrating resistance against
harsh prison

Comforts Make Humans Dumber
Dona Syriani AP English Composition Ms. Rhodehouse December 14, 2014
Comforts Make Humans Dumber Comfort is a freedom from pain or constraint.
Comfort is state of ease not only to the body, but to the human mind as well.
People s minds were evolving and getting bigger and became highly functional
trying to find the best way to change the face of life. With all the new inventions
people passed the line of essentials. People acquired the comforts of life that took
away the focus from what is necessary. Are the comforts making people s lives
exceedingly enjoyable? Or are they somehow limiting their ability to think and do
daily tasks? All the new contrivances around the clock advanced life in every
possible way. By doing so, people got lazy.

Spatial Specificity Analysis
Having differences between the two types of fMRI, Spatial Correlations of
Laminar BOLD and CBV Responses to Rate Whisker Stimulation with Neuronal
Activity Localized by Fos Expression by Lu et al. exemplifies the spatial
limitations of BOLD fMRI and in contrast demonstrates CBV fMRI s superior
spatial specificity. The paper states that the spatial specificity of BOLD fMRI is
limited due to two reasons: the physiological process to the hemodynamic response
and the microcirculation of the brain (Lu et al, 2004). Duvernoy et al. s discovery of
the venous unit is specifically deteriorates BOLD s spatial specificity. The venous
unit is compromised of large cortical penetrating veins to drain the amount of
deoxygenated blood. This propagation of DH makes it difficult to pinpoint the
origin of brain activity which gave reason to Lu et al. to hypothesize that the
venous unit employs inaccurate positive BOLD signals (Duvernoy et al., 1981).
Menon and Goodyear add that BOLD fMRI suffers greatly due to its low contrast
to noise ratio (Menon and Goodyear, 1999). It was also made known, by Lee et al.,
that fractional changes in blood vessel diameter are... Show more content on

The whisker barrel is found on the medial primary somatosensory cortex and a
single whisker is confined to a single barrel which is provided with independent

CBV fMRI could bypass the venous barrier, it would show areas of activation
analogous to Fos expression (Lu et al,

The Pros And Cons Of The Rogue State
During the Bush presidency years, however, the definition of rogue state has
become increasingly muddled. It now takes account not simply of how states
interact with other states, but also of how particular regimes treat their own
people. From President Bush s perspective, a state can be classified as a rogue if it
denies freedom to some of its citizens. He views the rogue state as the chief threat to
global order. His foreign policies, thus, aim either to alter the behavior of rogue
states, or, failing that, to eliminate those regimes that refuse to play by the rules. The
Bush Doctrineadvances three core propositions:
(1) Preemption, or America s declared right to a war to thwart a suspected attack; (2)

The story of the good guy fighting the bad guys is indeed not new, but a part of US
identity dating back to the very founding of the nation; it could be argued that the
terrorist attacks on September 11th tapped into an American imagination of
xenophobia and isolationism that had historical credence and viability within the
story of the American state [...] each president strategically framed US responses to
terrorism within a highly specialized national security discourse. This national
security discourse is one that presents terrorism as threat that necessitates reprisal and
preemptive measures and produces and legitimizes power relations that act as a field
of statecraft in which security becomes a commodity within the control of the state.
In the wake of terrorist attacks security becomes highly sought after and desired, thus
allowing states to use terrorism to strengthen their identity and

The Differences Of The Black Widow And Wonder Woman
There are obvious similarities between Black Widow and Wonder Woman, but the
differences are striking in two specific ways. One being their background and the
other being their difference in powers. The Black Widow has no powers unlike
Wonder Woman, and was raised to be a top notch spy giving her that superhero
appeal. However, despite that, both women are seen as amazing Icons in the comic
industry.
Wonder Woman has also have had a very different background from Black Widow,
growing up in the Amazon rather than being an orphan growing up with the Soviet
military. The Black Widow and Wonder Woman are also in different comic
companies, Black Widow in Marvel and Wonder Woman in DC. Despite their
differences, both superheros are seen as iconic women in the comic industry. Their
intelligence as individuals are seen as an inspiration to different types of women
around the world. Which creates a powerful movement of women across the nation.
If not just for their intelligence, both Wonder Woman and the Black Widow are in
the well known groups Justice League and the Avengers. In the original series for
both women the Black Widow and Wonder Woman are the first females to part take
in those groups. With the empowerment that is sparked on women all across the
nation, the popular comic writers began to weave in more female superheroes into
their works, resulting in more female characters in the newer superhero groups. The
Black widow also known as Natasha Romanova, had what you

Analysis Of Two Lovers And A Beachcomber By Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath and Two Lovers and a Beachcomber by the Real Sea Sylvia Plath,
while one of the best known poets of the 20th century, has diminished in popularity
to the modern audience. Despite this, Plath s work is still poignant today with its
self examination of life in the context of poor mental health and its confessional
style that has become a staple of American literature. On October 27, 1932, Sylvia
Plath was born to Aurelia Schober and Otto Plath, both immigrants of Germanic
descent. Although she was born in Boston, Sylvia Plath spent her childhood years
in Winthrop, Massachusetts, a smaller coastal town. Unfortunately, Plath lost her
father to diabetes related complications in November of 1940 at the young age of
eight; however, her eighth year of life also brought her the publication of her first
poem in the children s section of The Boston Herald. Two years later, the Plath
family moved to Wellesley, Massachusetts, so her mother could work at Boston
University and support the family. Plath excelled at her school in Wellesley and
began to receive prizes and awards for her writing. Along with her natural
intelligence, this culminated in a personality that her mother described as precocious
as well as the development of perfectionist tendencies that would afflict her
significantly later in life (Barnard 15). Similarly, America s entrance into World War
II in 1944 contributed to Sylvia Plath s pessimistic outlook on human nature.
Additionally, as she grew up and

It helps improve moods, memory vigilance, reaction times and overall cognitive
functioning.
In addition, carbohydrates play an important role in the coffee bean.
Carbohydrates serve as an aroma binder in raw coffee beans. They help the quality
of coffee by contributing to its thickness and consistency. In other studies
carbohydrates in coffee have also been known as dietary fiber to assist probiotics
within the digestive system. Coffee is also the number one source of antioxidants.
This simple drink is concentrated with a group of antioxidants that are called
flavonoids. According to medical journals flavonoids possess antiviral, anti
allergic, anti platelet, anti inflammatory, and antitumor activities. Coffee has been
around for many years first discovered in 850 A.D by a goatherder who noticed an
energetic change in the goats after eating the red berries. The name coffee comes
from the Kaffa region of Ethiopia where coffee trees grow wild (Funk Wagnalls
2014). Ethiopia is considered a major exporter of Arabica coffee beans. Arabica trees
grown in the wild have been known to produce coffee beans for up to thirty years.
Whereas the shrub or small tree also known as Coffea, that grows 15 to 20 feet high,
will produce a mature fruit that looks like a cherry and contains seeds that are
surrounded by a sweet pulp. In addition, coffee has been cultivated in

Academic Coaching With Austin Is Going Well Essay
Academic coaching with Austin seems to still be going well. Except for the fact
that he still forgets to meet with me... and we meet at the same time and day of the
week every week. I don t know how to approach this topic with him again because I
already went over it and expressed that I need him to communicate with me about
his absences. I was talking with one of my supervisors about it and she believes that
he needs to be the one making first contact about missing appointments, instead of
just responding when I reach out. He just always seems to have such good excuses.
This week he was at a review session for his midterm. I just needhim to
communicate. I really don t care if we reschedule later in the week but I hate
looking like an idiot when he doesn t show up. This semester we have known that
Austin will struggle in one of his classes, and he took a test and did poorly on it.
Unfortunately, he had the pleasure of finding this out for the first time when he
logged into asulearn in my office. I felt bad. Immediately his demeanor changed and I
could tell that he was upset.
I tried to use this situation to let him know that sometimes crappy situations happen
but that isn t a reason to stop trying. Working with him for a while now has taught
me that he needs to explore multiple options and talk them through with others. So I

The Houyhnhnms in Gulliver s Travels Essay
The Houyhnhnms in Gulliver s Travels In the last part of the novel Gulliver s
Travels, by Jonathan Swift, a dichotomy is established which crtiticizes two extreme
ideas of man. The Houynhnms, a race of horses, are meant to symbolize man as a
supremely rational being and the Yahoos, a primitive, vulgar version of humans, are
made to symbolize man as an animal. The narrator Gulliver is a sort of reference
point between the two, since in physical appearance he seems to be a Yahoo, but his
ability to reason enables him to relate well to the Houynhnms. Readers have
interrpreted the rational horses in a number of different ways. Some feel that the

Casualties, they die only of Old Age, and are buried in the obscurest Places that
can be found, their Friends and Relations expressing neither Joy nor Grief at their
Departure. Why would the human ideal be existing as emotion less, passion less
creatures devoid of feeling and driven purely by reason. Although Gulliver so
admires them, Swift does not mean us to take this admiration seriously. When
Gulliver first encounters the Houynhnms, he takes an immediate liking to them,
saying Upon the whole, the behaviour of these animals was so orderly and rational,
so acute and judicious, that I at at last concluded they must needs be Magician. This
admiration grows and grows until he quickly comes to believe that these creatures
are perfect in every way possible. The fact that these creatures are horses, not
humans, symbolizes how Swift believes that no humans can be so perfect. The extent
to which Gulliver worships these creatures is further delineated by his self loathing;

In the novel, Boy In the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne the author discusses detail
and relevant text about characters feelings, expressions, and thoughts towards certain

novel by expressing their emotions and actions. There are many events when John
Boynehas shown this type of purpose, in his novel. For instance, he mentioned

How Bruno was confused with what was happening in the concentration camp and

Essay On Loyalty And Loyalty
Customer Satisfaction And Loyalty
Zeithaml and Bitner (2000) defined customer satisfaction as the customers evaluation
of a product or service in terms of whether that product or service has met their needs
and expectations . Therefore, satisfaction is a consumer s post purchase evaluation
and affective response to the overall product or service experience. In other words,
what consumer perceives after a product or service consumption determines his/her
satisfaction. Many researches have concluded that satisfaction can determine the
customer loyalty. Customer loyalty defined as a deeply held commitment to re buy or
re use a preferred product/service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive
same brand or same brand set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing
efforts have the potential to cause switching behavior. The satisfaction/dissatisfaction
occurring through a matching or mismatching of expectations and perceived

According to the date of Air Asia, customer satisfaction is defined as the result of a

performance exceeds expectations, customers will be satisfied and delightful.
Otherwise, if the perceived expectations are met with performance, customers are in

European Union Foreign Policy In A Changing World
Summary
The second edition of Karen E Smith s book European Union Foreign Policy in a
Changing World is another installation of the series started in 2003. The second
installation is an update and expansion in which she offers a crisp and different
outlook on the intricacies of the contemporaneous European Union s foreign policy.
Karen expounds on EU foreign policy by not only examining what the European
Unionis but also what it does. The book has nine chapters that delve into different
aspects of the European Union policy but all focusing on the union s foreign policy
objectives.
In the introduction chapter, Karen introduces the five pivotal foreign policy
objectives that the European Union strives to achieve. These are:

The European Coal and Steel Community body was created post war second world
war not only to achieve peace but also to solve the economic difficulties that the
countries were facing. To achieve this, six countries agreed t the Treaty of Paris in
effect forming an area of free trade. The book also looks at the the European
Economic Community, a body created in 1958 to build a common market that had no
tariffs or bottlenecks to the movement of goods and labor. This chapter looks at the
transformation of the European Union through a number of political reforms and is
depicted through the evolution of three distinct pillars:the European Communities,
The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the The Justice and Home
Affairs (JHA) Council. This evolution is tracked to what Smith describes as the world
s largest unified market and trading bloc that conducts economic and trading relations
with virtually every country (Smith, 21).
The next chapter looks at the policy instruments that are available to the European
Union. These policy instruments are economic, diplomatic and military. In the
evaluation of each of these policy instruments Smith looks at certain policy tools are
assessed. Some of the policy tools that are evaluated under economic instruments are
trade and cooperation agreements with third world countries, development aid to
those countries is evaluated, regional associations are also presented coupled with

footprint, which means it can achieve publicity on an international scale. It is

big problems. The cons for Tata are challenges from other competitors since they
share the risk with each other and unclearly market shares. The last action Tata may
choose is complementary strategic. Tata can grow a competitive advantage if they
purchase Jaguar and Land Rover. The pro in this situation is that it can bring the well
known brands emerging in the Indian car market an opportunity. Admittedly that
offers Tata a high certification across the global market within a brief period. The
cons may have is partners fail to use their resources in the market or inadequate
contracts unsure creating value chain.
4. I think the diversifying strategic alliance is the best option for Tata, because we
know in a long way Tata Motors were highly dependent on Indian markets. So in
that way, it will be less dependent on the Indian market. As a key to acquisition, if
Tata purchase Jaguar and Land Rover, it can bring separate market share reputation
and more. In this case, Tata can avoid the damage to brand image. Besides, Jaguar
and Land Rover both can increase the design services and sourcing like low cost

Aria And Rise Of The Rocket Girls Summary
The text of Aria and Rise of the Rocket Girls: the women Who Propelled US, from
missiles to the Moon to Mars were both interesting. Both stories had different subjects
but the both shared some similarities. Aria was far shorter than the actual book about
the history of women computers. But both of the text revolved with the significance
of having something or being present in a certain environment. In the story Aria and
Rise of the rocket girls, they both had moments where the characters lives were
changed.
In Aria the main character Rodriguez was a boy who moved to america with his
family. He the third of four children, he was a child who went to a Roman Catholic
School in Sacramento California. Since Rodriguez was an immigrant he was native
to the english language. When the Nun introduced him to the class she had to say his
name in a unusual way because she was couldn t pronounce his name fluently in the
way you say it in spanish. This was the first time for Richard that he would hear his
name be said in english. Richard was an immigrant, so he didn t know english, and
every time he heard a white person talk he would listen to them carefully and
would listen to the sounds that came out of their mouth. When Richards family
arrived to his new home he was surrounded by gringos as Richard would call the
white people. Some families would unwelcome them by saying keep your brats
away from our sidewalk! . Family relatives would visit the house and Richard was

Beach Decor Research Paper
Do you want to feel like you are closer to the beach? Often after a vacation from the
beach, all we want to do is go back. The feeling is so strong that we want to create
that same feeling inside of our homes. By creating that feeling of peace, it will
make us feel as if we have been spending the whole day at the beach once again.
The beach offers so many different details that allow us to create a home beach decor
to our liking.
One of the best places to begin with beach decor is a patio or enclosed sun room.
Since these rooms are already outside, you can dream of being close to the beach (if
you aren t already). When thinking of the beach, think of the colors that calm you.
Colors that you can use in your beach home decor can include sky ... Show more

Sea life such as dolphins, seagulls and crabs are among the first animals that
usually come to mind. The walls in a room can be decorated with photos of
dolphins or birds flying across the sky. For a comedic approach, there can always be
little crab statues or other accessories that can sit on a shelf or table. Even
photographs of marine animals can be a beautiful addition to any room.
Another beautiful aspect to add for beach decor are ocean sunsets. Sunsets usually
offer an array of beautiful colors that paint across the sky and reflect off the water. A
sunset can create a serene feeling that makes one feel at peace.
To tickle one s senses, candles that have smells that are similar to the ocean or
beach could make beach home decor come alive too. Find candles that have hues of
blues, greens and tans. The scents can make one feel as if they are truly at the
beach. Candles often give off a relaxing vibe for a peaceful setting.
If you want your home to feel like your favorite beach retreat, you can use some of
these ideas for inspiration. Home should always be a place to relax at. By adding
beach home decor, a room can feel like a mini vacation to get away from the stress
that may enter our lives every now and

It is also referred to as the water cycle. The Grand Canyon contains water resources
called a spring. The canyon contains numerous amounts of springs. They are also
part of the hydrologic cycle. A spring is a water resource formed when the side of a
hill, a valley bottom or other excavation intersects a flowing body of ground water
at or below the local water table, below which the subsurface material is saturated
with water. (Perlman, 2011) They can live inside any type of rock. The springs held
within the Grand Canyon discharges groundwater, and this groundwater supplies
drinking water to the Canyon s visitors, Flagstaff, the Coconino Plateau, etc. The
Grand Canyon will continue to change over time. However, it is uncertain as to
what continued acts of weathering and mass wasting will do to it. Since the
canyon was developed by erosion, mass wasting and weathering, the constant
shaping of the Grand Canyon will continue. On the other hand, Geologists believe
that the Grand Canyon will be affected by the Colorado River weathering away at
the rock. Over millions of years, weathering, mass wasting and erosion have been
said to form the Grand Canyon. With that said, the Canyon will grow larger, and the
mile deep canyon will greatly increase. Rocks, big and small, will continue to fall
down the Colorado River cutting through more rock layers. It is also predicted that
the Grand Canyon will have a shortage of water supply due to the growing population.

Gerald Graf
I chose the article Disliking Books at an Early Age by Gerald Graff. He is a
teacher of literature and states his advantage as a teacher since he hated and feared
books while growing up. Graff discovered something that provided reading to be
more appealing. He engaged himself into the text where reading became fun.
Growing up Graff was raised in an ethnically mixed Chicago neighborhood where
he feared that if he had anything to do with books, he would get beaten up. Graff,
however, would sit down and try to read novels, but he could not relate to any of
the text, he would just stare blankly at the pages. Later Graff s fear developed into
flunking college. Graff then discovered a new way of reading finding a way to
make reading fun. Graff put himself into the text, a sense of personal engagement.
The main point in Graff s article is to read at an angle and keep an open mind
while being patient. Graff s goal throughout the article was to keep an open mind
while reading. In addition to reading with an angle, you can discover your way to
connect with the text while in doing so stay patient. While we read his article, we

Differences Between Superman And Superman, Television
And...
Cloaked in red and blue, Superman soars above Metropolis. Well known to the
public, he is strong, kind, humble and in love with Lois Lane. Then he gets to work.
He puts on some glasses, and he becomes Clark Kent, a mild mannered reporter.
According to the public, his relationship with Louis is platonic. Despite being the
same person, depending on who you ask, they will give you a very different
description of just one man. The real difference between Supermanand Clark Kentisn
t a disguise, but the social context in which he is seen. Much the same as
Superman, people can have multiple identities, or frames of themselves, each
coming out in a specific social context. With social media, these different identities
can be created and thrive. On public platforms, the ideal side of a person is shown,
along with their close relationships, but on private sites, they don t have to worry
about dealing with the pressure from others. To put simply, whether you see
Superman or Clark Kent, depends on who is watching him, so it can be argued that
the amount of privacy a user has on a social media platform, greatly impacts how
they display themselves, and their relationships on said platform as well.
Overall, some of the most popular social media platforms are public ones, such as
Facebook and Instagram. Although these sites have different features, one similarity
between them is how they can be used to enforce gender norms . Public sites often

This is a common phenomenon that is rapidly increasing with the younger
generations. Even though some cohabitate before marriage, couples still have the
strong desire to get married if things work out in their favor.
The increasing number of couples whom cohabitate before marriage is growing in
acceptance and for several individuals becoming the new norm. Census data from
2012 shows that 7.8 million couples are living together without walking down the
aisle, compared to 2.9 million in 1996 (Fox, 2014). Each year this data increases
and will continue to for the next generations to come. The growing popularity of
living together before marriage is common in younger generations, but it is also
increasingly favorable for older generations as well. Cohort succession is fueling
the growing acceptance of cohabitation among older adults and coincides with the
rapid growth in later life cohabitation that has occurred in recent decades (Brown
Wright 2015). Sometimes for individuals, it s not that joining in marriage is fearful,
but rather it s divorce and failure that are trying to be avoided. Several individuals
view cohabitating before marriage as a trial run before marriage in anticipation to
increase their marriage prosperity. This trial run will either make or break the couple
meaning that they will make it through this trial time together or they won t. During
this trial run, cohabitation can have several desirable or undesirable effects on the

The Problem Of Digital Piracy
1.0 Situation Analysis 1.1Introduction: Digital Piracy refers to the occurrence of
unauthorized copying of digital goods, documents, video and audio without the legal
approval of the owners (Lixuan Zhang Wayne William 2009). Software privacy is
reported to cost the film industry an estimated $58 billion per year in the United
States alone (Ma et al, 2011.). Sony is a Japanese multinational corporation, with
business in a variety of areas including; consumer and professional electronics,
gaming, music and motion pictures. Piracy of Sony s content is a continuing
problem, and the management team has made various attempts at prosecuting the
individuals who pirate. The management team attempted to deter the individuals
pirating, through sending legal letters threatening action, however this only led to a
short term impact. In order to work towards a long term solution, the management
team would like to understand what factors impact a person s likelihood to download
pirated material. 1.2 Problem Statement: Sony have a problem of digital piracy, which
has a multitude of impacts on the company, including huge revenue losses, losses of
jobs, and an overall diminishment on the growth of the software industry (Peace,
Galletta and Thong, 2014). There are a number of factors which contribute towards
the intention to commit digital piracy. These factors include; the age of the

At the end, there is a struggle between two species for survivor. The clip presents the
first meeting between the high technological humanbeing and the alien. They are both

could be divided on three parts, the first one at the entrance into the alien spaceship,

the eggs chamber. The protagonists are three members of the NostromoВ ґs crew:

This provides some clues about the film and their meaning: the dead alien in the
centre of the room seems to have exploded from the inside. Furthermore, the chair in
which it is sitting remembers a birthing chair anticipating the development of the
film. Despite the fact that this place is not really threatened, the suspense element is
introduced by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) talking about the transmission received, it
was not an SOS but a warning. So, the audience understands that although the alien is
death the crew is in jeopardy. AshВ ґs (Ian Holm) cold attitude also anticipates his role
in the crew and the film, and Ripley realizes about it. The elements of life increase
in the third chamber in which Kane descends. This is an immense room covered
by leathery liquid and a mist blue ray protecting a kind of eggs. The use of the
liquid and especially the ray, contributes to increase the mystery and the suspense.
This is a reproduction place as is confirmed when Kane falls and finds organic life
inside the eggs.
All and all there is a clash between life and technology, the fact that during the 1970s
there were a revolution in the investigation about reproduction techniques and the
new technology was especially frightened in the society. The entire film and this clip
show this concern about the influence of technology in human life. The future is
surrounded by machines, but somewhere organic life survives. At the end of the clip

Essay On The Origin Of Native American Culture
Origins of Native American Culture The disadvantages of farming without metal
tools were compounded by the absence of the plow, the wheel, and large domesticated
mammals. Like much of Africa, isolation and local conditions in the Americas
produced an agriculture that relies solely on hoes and digging sticks. Could stone
tools, hoes come and wooden cultivation sticks proficient enough to generate the
needed food surpluses to produce great cities? Such restrictions on food production
again raises the question of how civilization could have developed under such
conditions. The fact that civilization did develop in the Americas, therefore requires
some explanation (Wellach, 191). Just when the human history of the Americas
actually began is the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Still, these Native American cultures existed on a time scale of their own; their
technology, placing them more in the ancient era rather than in the middle years of
world history. The most common lifestyle of those natives living north of the Rio
Grande was surviving as small bands of hunters. These nomadic people followed the
practices of the first natives that had explored most of North America between 10000
and 1500 BCE. They established communities from the shores of California to the

After the war, Mao Zedong took over China in 1949 (BBC History Mao Zedong).
Shortly after, China s influence in the global economy declined. China s involvement
in the global economy was only 5% during his rule (Holodny). This happened as a
result from Mao Zedong implementing The Great Leap Forward in 1958, and the
Cultural Revolution in 1966. The Great Leap Forward was an attempt to modernize
China s economy so that it could match up with the economy of the United States by
around 1988 (Trueman). He saw potential growth in agriculture and industry. His
reasoning for choosing agriculture and industry was that one could not blossom
without the other. Agriculture needed industry because they needed the best
machinery and equipment to succeed, while the industry would prosper if it was fed
well by agriculture. To do this, the government took complete control. Schools, tools,
retirement homes, entertainment, and healthcare were all provided by the
government (Trueman). This would ensure all the people could work. After the first
year, everything seemed great according to plan. Things would turn around at the
start of 1959. In 1959, the government wanted its people to work faster to produce
more products. This caused workers to work long hours every day. Due to the quick
production, the goods lacked quality. The steel that was produced was too weak for
construction, which was its intended purpose. Buildings that were erected would not

Discipline And The Panopticon
On the other hand, Bentham s Panopticon exemplified another exercise of
disciplinary power, however in the prison setting. The Panopticon was used as a
correctional facility by anonymously monitoring the behaviors of those confined
within the cells. The anonymous observance produced a homogenous effect of
power to discourse as it was a system where the prisoners were both the objects and
subjects. ( Discipline and Punish 202) In this context, control is exercised through
surveillance and the discourses are designed to keep the individuals in order. The
modern prisonsystem is a discourse of punishment because the codified power to
punish becomes the disciplinary power to observe, suggesting discipline to be a
technology of power that objectifies the individuals it affects. ( Discipline and Punish
224) These two examples exhibit how power is exercised through discourse,
language, and understanding, and how the influential people who command the set
of discursive principles use their knowledge to exercise power.... Show more content

Through the multiplicity of discourses, society is able to control larger populations.
Discursive fields such as civil law, religion, and media, operating simultaneously,
exert power over individuals and the shared knowledge by each discourse obliges
individuals, subjecting them to conform to its ways. The mobilization and
deployment of a multiplicity of discourses result in an evermore containing and
controlling society. Similar to the physically isolated cell of the Panopticon,
individuals in everyday society also face homogeneous pressures to constantly
monitor, alter, and correct their behavior. Individuals are forced to discipline
themselves and regulate their own conscious and unconscious in case of the off

The short story The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara was written in 1972. The
Lesson was a first person point of view story, it was told by a young girl named,
Sylvia. This story tells about the shopping trip that the teacher of the class, Miss
Moore, took the children. The main ideas of this story are the economic life style,
social inequality, and lack of equal education for the African Americans. Miss
Moore tries to teach the kids there is a better life in a small trip to the toy store.
Sylvia gets angry with Miss Moore taking them to the toy store, not understanding
why she would take them. The way Toni Bambara wrote The Lesson in first person
narration gives the story realism. The story The Lesson is told by a little girl
named Sylvia, and it is about her class and Miss Moore going to a toy store. Before
they leave, Miss Moore tells them how money is not being fairly handed out in the
country and tells them where they are living is called the slums and that they are
poor. They all get in two separate cabs; Sylvia and a couple of friends are in one,
Miss Moore and the rest of the class are in the other cab. When they got out they
realized they are on Fifth Avenue, as Sylvia explains Then we check out that we
on Fifth Avenue and everybody dressed up in stockings. One lady in a fur coat, hot
as it is. White folks crazy (Bambara, 1972). Miss Moore directs them to big
windows of a building and they see all these nice things in windows saying how

most important artist of the first half of the twentieth century. He also created
collage and made major contributions to Symbolism and Surrealism. Symbolism
means to represent ideas or qualities. Surrealism is a cultural movement that began

was to resolve the previously clashing conditions of dream and reality. He was a
painter, he was a famous figure, he was greatly effective and he also discovered
areas as different as printmaking and ceramics. Picasso used different styles in

Afro-Futurism Analysis
Through a number of important essays, Marleen Barr s Afro Futurism opens up a
conversation about racial autonomy and collective agency in a literary space that
seems to have been reluctant to even whisper about such things: namely, Science
Fiction. Maybe that is not all that surprising given the genre s predominantly
white(ned?) literary categorization that, while it has no outright barred people of
color, has not in turn seemed to make any meaningful space for them, either .
Indeed, there is such an implicit racial claim of science fiction by White Culture
that when a person of color is cast in one of the starring roles of a major Science
Fiction production oh, let s say Star Wars: The Force Awakens that there is a
massive outcry and calls for boycott and existential fears of white erasure. Yet,
despite this struggle for ownership, the fit between Science Fiction and people of
color appears to be an intuitive one. Mark Dery ( Black to the Future ) poignantly
points out, effectively noting that African Americans are always already seen and
constructed as Other/Alien (8) . Is that all that surprising? Not... Show more content

at the site of the exploited female body of color. Although the characters she

embracing (as opposed to revert back to) animal shape shifting (in other words,

Introduction This paper presents a marketing plan for Kickstart, a new product
launched February 25, 2013 from Mountain Dew and PepsiCo in the United States.
PepsiCo is a beverage and snack company worldwide and Mountain Dew s Kickstart
is launching out a new way to do mornings with Kickstart, a fruit flavored caffeinated
Mountain Dew beverage (www.kickstart.com). Kickstart is advertised to present an
alternative to traditional morning beverages one that tastes great, includes real fruit
juice and has just the right amount of kick to help them start their days

(McRae, 2013). For Kickstart, these industry trends can be leveraged significantly.
Climate Key Trends (PEST) In terms of the PEST Analysis, political factors (Finch,
2012; The Secret Marketer, 2011) suggest that there is little governmental regulations
regarding the non alcoholic beverage industry domestically. There is evidence to
suggest that politicians and consumer advocacy groups have asked the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration to investigate the safety of the high levels of caffeine in
energy drinks for younger people (Choi, 2013) and that other companies are under
investigation for these concerns but this does not present a barrier to the marketplace.
Economically, soft drinks are not expensive and they are consumed by most
everyone. The soft drink industry is not influenced significantly by economic
influences. However, the raw materials used to create soft drinks and in juices like
sugar, fruits and vitamins may affect production costs and PepsiCo s costs of
production and the profit margin (Finch, 2012). The distribution channel and
transportation also affect the price of the product and the commercial tax rates can
vary (Finch, 2012). Socially (Finch, 2012), people today are sensitive towards the
content of advertisements. Taking this into account, PepsiCo is targeting the next
generation of consumers, and they differentiate

Horace Mann Essay
Horace Mann was the father of the American School System. Horace Mann
#8217;s had many reforms on education. He was born in 1796. Mann determined
what the purpose of education should be based on his own experience and
observation. Mann also had many ideas how education could be improved. Many
of these ideas have been followed by schools today as well. Mann also had ideas
on topics which one considers today to be controversial. The public should take into
account what Mann #8217;s ideas were on these issues. Horace Mann #8217;s
reforms and ideas have had influence during his time, and now in our time on many

Mann thought that schools should teach a complete educational program including
physical education and musical education. Schools today teach physical education
and music to provide their students with a better educational experience. Mann
thought also that schools should have nothing to do in their religion and politics.
Ideally, this is what public schools and teachers try to do today. Religion is not a part
of the public school today. During Mann #8217;s twelve years as secretary of the
Massachusetts board of education he sent back reports to the board as to the
condition of schools and what he thought should be taught in them. His ideas in these
reports revolved around six ideas: #8220;(1) that a republic cannot long remain
ignorant and free, hence the necessity of universal education; (2) that such education
must be paid for, controlled, and sustained by an interested public; (3) that such
education is best provided in schools embracing children of all religious, social, and
ethnic backgrounds; (4) that such education, while profoundly moral in character,
must be free of sectarian religious influence; (5) that such education must be
permeated throughout by the spirit, methods, and discipline of a free society, which
preclude pedagogy in the classroom; and (6) that such education can be provided only
by well trained, professional

The s Luxor Temple And The 250 Statues
Amenhotep III reigned in ancient Egypt from roughly 1391 to 1353 B.C.E. and is
most recognized for his construction of The Luxor Temple and hundreds of shrines
he had built. (O Connor, 2001) Throughout the course of this class we have been
asked conceptualize different artifacts and determine what this artifact says about
the royal figure that contracted it. Amenhotep s Luxor Temple and the 250 statues
that he commissioned show us that his reign was focused on impressing the rich
and powerful people who surrounded him. This is based on who was intended to
see the Luxor temple and what impression the temple would have left on its
audience. Historians cite Akhenaten and Tutankhamun as the source of radical
change in Egyptian history (Berman, 2001), when in reality Amenhotep III started
the legacy of art appreciation that continued on to his successors. Amenhotep s 38
year reign is described as a period of peace and affluence. (Bryan, 2003) The
Pharaoh Amenhotep III was married to Queen Tiyi and a few lesser wives he was
also the father of Akhenaten, who would grow to become a widely disliked Pharaoh.
(Berman, 2001) Amenhotep III encouraged foreign exploration during his reign and
was a driving force in international trade. Perhaps this exploration of the world
influenced Amenhotep in regard to how he wanted others to perceive him. If
anything, the Luxor Temple, and the various artifacts that have been excavated from
it display the esteem that this 18th century Egyptian

Conmemoration of the 538th Anniversary of Hans Behems
Death
Friends, family, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:
I feel it an extraordinary honor to be here today to commemorate the 538th
anniversary of Hans Behem s death, a man that served as one of the most powerful
beings of the middle ages.
A man who chose to defy the social hierarchy while inspiring medieval Europe and
thousands of peasants with his foresight on equality.
In his period, Hans Behem was viewed as a determined, alluring individual and to
this day we are still captivated by his passionate words and sermons. He wanted to
adjust Europe s social hierarchy, to restore religious equality, and to preach to other
peasants about justice. The tasks he set up for himself were difficult and came with
a large risks. However, with his guided dedication he was able to build a strong
followers base thus paving a path for reform.
Today we stand, remembering Behem as an energetic, captivating young man,
directed through a specific vision that guided him to preach the virtues regarding
social justice and equality.
In the 15th century, the German peasantry was placed at the bottom of an inverted
pyramid (p.31). One particular night, Behem who was both a shepherd and a street
musician had a vision of the Virgin Mary requesting him to burn his desires and
preach about dedication to God. Over time, his words earned him the name the
Drummer and residents from all corners of Germany were coming to Niklashausen to
hear the Drummer . Within a short period of time Church

The Board Of Education For The City Of Brooklyn
The Board of Education dates back to 1842. According to the New York City
Department of Records, the Board of Education was known as the Board of
Education of the City of Brooklyn from 1853 1897 (www.nyc.gov). During that time
period, records documented educational policy, and school system administration.
The Board of Education underwent several transformations. Although the school
system as stated by the Department of Records (www.nyc.gov) was known as the
Board of Education of the city of Brooklyn, there were also boards in the borough of
Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Richmond.

The Board of Education was under Chancellor, Harvey Scribner, who started the
process of working out the responsibilities of the central board, community districts,
teachers, along with parents and students. Chancellors served to monitor the
workings of the board members and the 32 districts. However, in 2002 the New
York City Board of Education went under mayoral control and became the New York
City Department of Education. The City of New York and the appointed chancellor
controls all public schools in the five boroughs. The Mayor Controls the Department
of Education. The appointed chancellor and deputies oversee the operations of the
Department of Education. (www.nyc.gov). Schools are no longer under the
jurisdiction of a district office. Although districts are no longer in existence, schools
are still identified by their designated districts (i.e.; 17K246).
The New York City Department of Education vision is that education is the
committed to working collaboratively with parents, families, educators and
communities to improve student achievement, and ensure that every child graduates
from high school prepared for college, a career and a future as a productive adult

Winston s Use Of Allegory In 1984 By George Orwell
The protagonist in Orwell s 1984 is Winston Smith. In the novel the reader

exercises absolute power in Oceania. Winston tests the limits of the Party s power

This was first demonstrated in the allegory of the cave through the idea of locking
prisoners in a cave since birth. Thus, withholding all the realness of the world to

shadows the prisoner saw understood that the shadows were reflections of real things.
Similarly, the Party used language to manipulate the citizens of Oceania in this way.
Newspeak was perhaps the most important message that Orwell put forth in the novel.
The control of language is the control of how individuals express themselves. Thus, in
1984 individuals were not even permitted to have thoughts that went against the
government. Fear kept those thoughts away, but eventually the Party planned to use
Newspeak instead of English. This is because Newspeak was to eliminate the idea

My Personal Philosophies Of The Classroom
According to the Philosophic Inventory, my two personal educational philosophies
are progressivism and existentialism. These philosophies show that I am likely to
try and make a change within my class and mold my future students to create a
positive change in the world. I will also value the rights of each of my students to
believe what they want without fearing persecution by their classmates or other
teachers, regardless of whether I agree with their views. The results of this
assessment were no surprise as they seem to line up with my personal viewpoints on
running a classroom. A progressivist philosophyfocuses on the individuality of each
child and the importance of experimentation and demonstrations in education. In my
class, I will be certain to make my classroom as interactive as possible, with plenty
of opportunities to practice concepts learned in class. Throughout my life, I have
been lucky enough to be a student or observer in many classrooms that have bright
colorful decorations and fun interactive portions of the classroom. This will be a
priority for me as I believe that drab boring colors and plain worksheets make learning
more intimidating and less fun. Having things like reading corners, small computer
labs, and other interactive activities, are fun ways to give students a break from
learning while actually getting them to teach themselves using different resources. By
encouraging students to read and use the computer independently, they will soon

have to get married when she enjoyed working as a servant for the family, why did
she have to marry Herman Kreder when he obviously did not want to marry her. Lena

Important Quality In Relationships
In a lifetime, a person will associate with many people, building stronger bonds with
some friends or family member over others. Over time, some relationships will grow
while others fade, however it is possible to preserve those connections that mean the
most. There are qualities that will build the relationship stronger or break it down.
Qualities such as forgiveness, communication, and respect can be the defining traits
that make a healthy lifetime relationship.
In order to have a healthy and positive relationship we must learn to forgive.
Forgiving was the hardest thing at one point in my life for the reason that the one
person I thought would never let me down, did just so. Now lets keep that story in
mind for I will be bringing it ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
We need to learn how to talk things out and get past them and this is all done with
communicating respectfully to one another. So back to my personal experience,
after that person let me down I ignored them for as much as I could. That person
insisted on talking it out and making everything right again. I was to the point
where I told that person I wanted nothing to do with them ever again. But the more
I thought about it, the more I got angry at myself for not trying to fix thing. I was
not ready to throw it all away. I had realized by trying to ignore the situation, the
more complicated things were. So I talked things out, let him explain himself and I
forgave him. This made everything go back to normal and I was happy. Never again
will I try to avoid a problem, but to communicate and talk things out.
Mutual respect is very essential in maintaining strong relationships. Not only do we
need to respect ourselves, whether single or dating, but we need to also respect our
friend, family, spouse in order to keep a healthy relationship. In the way we talk to
people show if we respect the person or not. If we feel like someone is not respecting
us then obviously we are slowly going to separate ourselves from that person
because it is not a nice feeling to be disrespected. Likewise with the other person, so
don t treat anyone how you would not like to be

of the working groups in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) or Institute of

Clearly, the OPSAWG focuses on the operations side of the house, and would be the
most logical working group to submit a request for review of an operational guideline.
Specifically, the focus of this WG is on topics that manage the behavior of other
working groups in the O M area (e.g., manageability requirements). Equally important,
it focuses on small, highly focused projects that do not warrant a separate working
group, or belong to ones that have already concluded (e.g. advancement of documents
on the standards track, application statements, extensions of MIB modules).
(Operations and management area working group, n.d., para 3).
IEEE 802
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) decided that there was a
significant need for a set of rules or standards for data to travel from one computer to
another. Essentially, it decided to standardize these methods for data packets transfers
by implementing a set of rules and regulations called IEEE 802 standards.
Consequently, these standards help the industry by providing advantages such as low
product cost, interoperability, and easy to manage standards, divided into many parts.
Interestingly, these standard parts include everything from cabling to network
standards. Of note, these IEEE standards affect only Local Area Networks (LAN) and
Metropolitan Area Networks

Organized Religion Versus Sprituality in William Blake s...
William Blake was a poet and artist who was born in London, England in 1757. He
lived 69 years, and although his work went largely unnoticed during his lifetime, he
is now considered a prominent English Romantic poet. Blake s religious views, and
his philosophy that man is god , ran against the religious thoughts at the time, and
some might equate Blake s views to those of the hippie movement of the 20th century.
In The Garden of Love , the conflict between organized religion and individual
thought is the constant idea throughout the poem. Blake s colorful use of imagery
and heavy symbolism express his resentment toward the church. He makes it obvious
how he feels, that it is restrictive in nature and hinders him from expressing his ...

(Griffiths). The third stanza begins with the narrator visiting the garden of love, but
he sees something he never saw there before, a chapel in the midst of the green he
used to play on. When the narrator says he used to play on the green , this indicates
that he was familiar with the Garden of Love in his childhood. He realizes that now
he has reached adulthood, he finds that love s natural expressions are no longer free
and universal, but bound by the restrictions of the organized church. Blake uses the
chapel to represent the orthodox church of the 18th century. He uses this religious
symbol to convey the idea of negativity, and seems to be dismissing organized
religion as unnatural and restrictive. Blake changes the rhyme scheme from ABAB to
ABCB in the third stanza to convey the change of tone in the poem (Griffiths).
In the fourth stanza, Blake uses religious symbols to show how the structured religion
of the Orthodox Church can destroy the love and joy within. The narrator finds that
the gates to the chapel are shut, symbolizing the restrictive nature of organized
religion. Blake alludes to the Ten Commandments when he describes the church gates
as having Thou shalt not written across them. This demonstrates the constrained state
that the church puts Blake in (Griffiths). Discouraged by the limiting statement on
the gates, the narrator turns to the rest of the Garden in

overall health of the community. They are efficient when a patient comes in to do a
thorough assessment, not just physical, but asking about the patients home life and
family. The number of people that have come to the health department to receive an
influenza shot has represented a large portion of Lanier County residents. This can
potentially reduce the spread of influenza through out the community. Because there
were so few students at the schools to receive the shot, the nurses discussed going

The NCAA s father was football and its mother was higher education. Kaye Hawes,
staff writer for The NCAA News
Introduction
Be a sport, young people are admonished. Play fair. Play by the rules. Everywhere in
the developed world, sports are raised high up on social pedestals as redeeming
activities that characterize the best of the human spirit, fair competition, and physical
achievement. Society welcomes athleticism due largely to anticipation of the
wholesome and upstanding values with which it is associated. Character is said to be
built through participation in sports. While certainly there are elements of these high
expectations and standards for athletes, there too has been a steady erosion of these
traditional foundations and nowhere is this more evident than in collegiate sports.
Intercollege sports are big business, and those associated with it take a very business
like attitude toward the games (Eitzen Sage, 1978). The driver in intercollegiate
sports is competition, just as it is in business (Eitzen Sage, 1978). And, as in business,
unfair advantage is translated into competitive edge. Responsibility morphs into
power. In such an environment, the notion of cheating becomes blurred (Eitzen Sage,
1978). Recruitment of college athletes commonly means looking the other way when
rules are broken. Athletes are paid under the table, and are admitted according to a
separate set of rules than those

smart to completely understand the method to effectively create products with the

old to middle age throughout rural New England and were called Lowell Mill Girls.

Employment in the factories allowed the women to gain a sense of freedom, as they
were free from parental authority, had time to attain information for a better
education, and able to earn money. This freedom was viewed as a threat to the
societal norm in the United States. Women were typically restricted in society,
making the actions of the Mill Girls extremely meaningful. Other people perceived
the factory system as a form of slavery and helped fight against long hours and
working conditions faced by the women. Textile mills that were run by the Lowell
Girls were key to saving America during economic crisis when there were not any
other methods to manufacture products. The women s impact on the economy was
indisputable when they went on strike to demand better working conditions. The
textile industry came to a complete stop, pressuring factory owners to grant the Mill
Girls requests. The amount of change over time in society concerning the treatment
of women was evident after the Lowell movement. The women that challenged
companies for labor reforms were the same women that were not independent and
could not vote in society. These girls were able to voice their concerns and opinions
through newspapers, strikes, and the Factory Girls

Essay about The True Tragic Hero of Creon in Sophocles ...
The True Tragic Hero of Creon in Sophocles Antigone
There has always been a great debate over who is the true tragic hero in Sophocles
Antigone. Many scholars would stake claim to Antigone possessing all the necessary
characteristics of a true tragic hero, but many others would argue that Creon holds
many qualities as well. It is hard to discount Antigone as a tragic hero, because in
fact, the play bears her name, but from careful reading, Creon meets Aristotle s
criteria exactly and fits perfectly into the role. In order to determine whether or not
Creon is the true tragic hero, one must answer the question: What is a Tragic Hero?
In Aristotle s Poetics, he discusses the basic criteria regarding a tragic hero. Aristotle
... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Creon said, ?...And whoever places a friend above the good of his own county, he
is nothing: I have no use for him.? (203 205). Again, his high standards and honor
for his country are shown in great detail: ?I could never stand by silent, watching
destruction march against our city, putting safety to rout? (207 208). Creon shows
a high sense of morality when he properly buried Eteocles, and then is showing his
noble character by not burying Polyneices, who attacked Creon?s country; again
his value of his country is shown. Creon is a good ruler because he like any king
would punish evil and reward good. Creon is seen by the chorus to have
?goodness? and leadership. (Lines 691). The chorus praises Creon for his loyalty
to the country after the great war, they look forward to his kingly rule and nobility
in the future by saying, ?. . . Creon, the new man for the great new day?(Lines 173).
Love of his country and his punishment of Polyneices show this great nobility and
loyalty talked about by the chorus. Clearly Creon qualifies under the first criterion of
being a tragic hero.
The second criterion for being a tragic hero is that one is neither purely evil nor
pre eminently great. Although Creon possesses many good kingly qualities, as far
a honor and nobility, his imperfection lies in his excessive pride and hubris, as well
as his self indulgence as King of Thebes. Creon shows his power and pride

The Power Of The Executive Branch

President is supposed to carry a heavy weight because it is coming from a higher
authority figure. You would think with a stroke of a feather light pen and

Although it implements fewer explicit powers to the president than it does
Congress. Opposing popular belief, our president powers are ...far more limited in

One of the most prominent issues that arise within the President s powers to get
things approved is the U.S. Constitution itself. Usually the result of congressional

comes downs to the approval of a bill, the proposed legislation goes through congress
before a decision is made. As we learned, if a President veto s a bill, Congress is
