The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living Essay
Socrates was considered by many to be the wisest man in ancient Greece. While he was
eventually condemned for his wisdom, his spoken words are still listened to and followed today.
When, during his trial, Socrates stated that, the unexamined life is not worth living (Plato 45),
people began to question his theory. They began to wonder what Socrates meant with his
statement, why he would feel that a life would not be worth living. To them, life was above all
else, and choosing to give up life would be out of the picture. They did not understand how one
would choose not to live life just because he would be unable to examine it.
Socrates felt that if he was unable to examine life, he would not be really ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Socrates shocked everyone when he said he would choose death over anything else. However,
the answer to why he would do that lies in his statement. Socrates knew that, had he choose to go
into exile, he would be expected to stop living the way that he was. He would no longer be able
to teach others, let alone question and examine his own life. For Socrates, this would be absurd.
He believed the entire point of living life was to examine. He felt obligated to live a life where he
questioned not only what was going on in his life but also the rights and wrongs that happened. He
would rather give up his life than not be able to question what was happening.
Philosophy is about questioning life and the world one lives in. Without questioning and wondering,
life and philosophy would be worthless. An unexamined life would lead to one that was without
question and curiosity, something which Socrates could not fathom. Without the curiosity that
comes with examining life, philosophy would fail to exist. According to Socrates, a great
philosopher, life would not be worth living without the addition of the philosophical thinking that
helped to make our lives more exciting and worthwhile. Socrates lived his life to question and to
wonder. The addition of philosophy made this possible. If examining ceased to exist, so would the

Teen Depression And Suicide
Teen Depression and Suicide
Mother Teresa once said, Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Studies have shown that approximately 20% of teens experience depression before they reach
adulthood. According to the American Psychiatric Association, depression is a common and serious
mental illness that negatively affects how you feel and act. While it is treatable through therapy or
medication, only 1 in 3 teens who suffer from depression receive the treatment they need after their
diagnosis. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young adults ages 15 to 24 in fact,
studies have shown that someone takes their own life every 100 minutes. Young adults with
enormous potential are taking their own lives at alarming rates, and these numbers may very
well continue to increase unless we band together as a society to take action. In order to help
teens with depression eliminate the risk of suicide, doctors must administer depression
screenings, teachers must be trained on how to deal with and respond to mental illnesses, and
parents must be educated on the signs and treatment of depression. One way to help teens with
undiagnosed depression get help is to add screenings for depression to routine doctor checkups
for patients ages 12 to 18. Depression screenings may be presented as a short questionnaire or a
simple conversation with your doctor in which you are asked about your feelings and behaviors.

This widespread transmission of a corporation s misconduct will then have significant
ramifications for their reputation and profitability. The case of Shell in Ogoni (Niger Delta,
Nigeria), the Brent Spar in the UK as well as Nike s sweatshop saga in Asia in the 1990s are
good examples of how the social conducts of a corporation can affect their reputation. However,
the tension between CSR concepts and CSR practices remain and this has led some to 3declare
that there is a need for logic and empirical evidence to show the true cost and benefit of CSR for
both business and society (Devinney, 2009, 44). This paper attempts to contribute to the CSR
debate by addressing the following questions: (1) To what extent has the adoption of the CSR
principles and practices resulted in positive outcomes for both oil MNCs and local communities in
the Niger Delta area of Nigeria? (2) What are the implications of the Nigerian case study for CSR
theory from a developing country perspective? Before I begin to address these questions, I will
critically examine some of the arguments for and against CSR.

Christianity Is A Religion Based On The Person And God
There are over a billion people in the World who follow and support the Catholic Church.
Christianity is a religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Ever since
Christianity started to emerge in the mid first century it has only increased in size and became even
more powerful now than in the origins of the Religion. JesusChrist is considered to be the Son of
Godand through the Bible s scriptures that include many sacred writings of Christianityit has given
people hope and more importantly something to believe in. Faith is a huge part of any Religion
because that is when you put your complete trust or confidence in someone or something. For
Christians our faith is put into the Bible, believing in and worshipping a supreme being, God, and a
superhuman, Jesus Christ. The importance to Christianity and to anyone s growth in Christian life
can be seen through believing in someone whether human or divine, God as three persons in one
divine being, genuine friendship, the sacraments, and Jesus Christ as the fullness of both divinity
and humanity. Although Christianity is not for everyone, there are thousands of different kinds of
Religion from which an individual can choose to follow. Even though Christianity is one of the
biggest Religions in the World there are just some people who either don t believe in Christianity
or have a hard time understanding it. Being brought up as a Christian I have put my faith in God s
hands as did my family and many others.

Irony In Alice Munro s How I Met My Husband
Alice Munro s, How I Met My Husband , provides a good example of both situational and
dramatic irony. The situational irony lies in the fact that the reader does not expect the mailman
to be Edie s husband at all. Throughout most of the story, the narrator speaks about Chris Watters
a war hero and commendable man. The way that she refers to him with such an affectionate
description and tone makes the reader believe that they will end up together. However, this is not
the average love story. This is a realistic love story, and though it is unexpected, she does not end
up with Chris, but the mailman who she had always waited on to deliver his letters. This is when

The Importance Of Part Four Important Principles In...
Part One The principle from part one that I really liked was don t criticize, condemn, or
complain. It could be applied to life when your boss or a fellow co worker comes up with an
idea they think is great when it might really not be the best idea. Rather than telling them the
idea was horrible and criticizing them for it, you could suggest changes to make it better. Part
Two The principle that stood out the most to me in part two was simply smile. Your expressions
are your best feature, the tell someone if your mad, happy, sad, etc. When you smile at someone,
they feel like you are happy to see them and they aren t a bother to you. Smiling can be applied in
any life situation, whether it be smiling at a job interview to seem happy and... Show more content

You should never just come out and tell someone they re wrong, it makes the person feel stupid
and insignificant. This principle can be applied to everyday life and in the workplace, when you
re talking to someone and you know you re wrong about something, tell them. When you know
someone is wrong, let them tell you they re wrong. Part Four The principle in part three that I
liked the most was praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be hearty in
your approbation and lavish in your praise. Everyone likes to be praised, it makes them feel
good about themselves. It can be applied in the office by the manager or supervisor letting an
employee know they did a good job on the task they were assigned, or just to keep them
motivated to finish the task or job at hand. Conclusion I thought the book How to Win Friends
Influence People by Dale Carnegie was a decent book. It wasn t my favorite book I ve read,
however, the many principles in the book were excellent. They can all still be applied to life in

Motif Of Chaos Essay
According to the Webster dictionary , a motif is a dominant idea or literary feature. In the days of
mythological writing, it was not uncommon for many cultures to include similar ideas or morals.
These motifs are three of the main motifs that drew my attention: the motif of chaos, the reason for
more than one god, and why humans were put on earth.
Motif #1: An Explanation for Chaos There are many obvious motifs included in all the myths
discussed. One of the main motifs used in multiple myths was the explanation for chaos. Many
cultures believed that the chaos the gods put upon the people was retaliation of the actions. Another
theory is that the gods caused chaos to show their people that there would not always be all good,
and that good ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For one god to have to manage the world and care for its people would be a massive amount of
responsibility. As a result, many cultures had multiple creators. Inclusion to this motif would be that
these cultures thought that having multiple gods or leaders in charge would have a better outcome.
The cultures that believed in having shared responsibility were the Incas, the Mayans, and the
Maoriall. In the Inca creation myth, Pachacamac created his wife to help him rule the world. In the
Mayan creation myth, Tepeu and Gucumatz shared the responsibility of caring for the earth and its
people. In the Maori creation myth, Te PЕ Ќ came from Te Kore to help care for the earth.
Motif #3: Why humans were put on earth In most creation myths, humans were created to care
for earth. It is my opinion that so many cultures had humans created to care for the earth so that
earth could function. Humans were created to Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.
In the Christian Tradition myth, these are the words of God the creator himself. He created man
to care for the earth that He created. Women were made to be man s partner and man was made to

Case Study On Alex Trauma
Trauma can also be associated with frightful events, the feeling of shame or experiencing physical
pain.
Even though trauma is usually associated with sexual abuse, it is unclear that Alex trauma falls
into this category. It is however clear that he is vulnerable and showing fear of the changes in
his family life, which leaves him with a poor sense of self and a helpless feeling of not being
able to cope. This kind of trauma causes significant distress, and in Alex s life, it is making him
aggressive and angry, resulting in his poor school work.

being conscious not to put too much pressure on him. Be aware of the rate Alex is working and
allow him more time to complete his tasks, if needed. Bring this to the attention of his mother and
stepfather as well, so that they can assist him with his homework assignments at the same gentle
pace. This will support his task completion progress without strain or stress. During this time we
keep a close eye on his ability to carry out basic skills and if at any point they are lacking, to first
work on Alex understanding basic skills, before moving on. Motivation from his parents and
teachers should be constantly shown with every small step he takes so that he feels the support
in his success. His confidence with his tasks will show progress and his positive attitude will
grow again and this will be seen in the classroom as well as at home. In the evaluation process we
will have to be careful not to break down any improvements Alex has made, but rather offer positive
and constructive teaching solutions, plenty of support to keep him focused on his studies and
learning.

pace. This will support his task completion progress without strain or stress. During this time we
keep a close eye on his ability to carry out basic skills and if at any point they are lacking, to first
work on Alex understanding basic skills, before moving on. Motivation from his parents and
teachers should be constantly shown with every small step he takes so that he feels the support
in his success. His confidence with his tasks will show progress and his positive attitude will
grow again and this will be seen in the classroom as well as at home. In the evaluation process we
will have to be careful not to break down any improvements Alex has made, but rather offer positive
and constructive teaching solutions, plenty of support to keep him focused on his studies and
learning.

Tort Law Cases Essay
Presented are four separate cases that have been argued and settled in a court of law. Each of these
cases represent a different kind of tort, a tort is a civil wrong or wrongful act, which can be either
intentional or accidental, from which injury occurs to another (Hill Hill n.d.). The torts are as
listed, intentional, criminal, negligence, and liability as presented in the four researched cases.
State Rubbish Collectors Ass n v. Siliznoff When a person violates another person s legal rights
deliberately it is considered an intentional tort (Mayer et al. n.d.). Intentional torts are when
someone is assaulting someone, trespassing on a person private property, false imprisonment of an

The association was held liable for the damages that stemmed from the emotional distress of the
defendant. The plaintiff had caused the defendant to suffer such extreme fright that it compelled
him to either give up the Acme account he had been working in the service area and give to the
State Rubbish Collectors Association back payment or the defendant had to become a member with
the association and pay dues.
The courts ruled that the plaintiff had not right to use such coercive methods when competing for
business and the liability was clear in this circumstance. The defendant was awarded $1250.00 by
the plaintiff for compensatory damages and $4000.00 was awarded by the association for
exemplary damages. Plaintiff attempted to appeal stating the awarded amount was excessive; the
courts ruled that the amount awarded was not excessive and denied the appeal from the plaintiff.
No dissenting opinion was made.
People v. Watson Someone commits a wrongful act and someone is the victim is considered a
crime. The charge is against the defendant and if found to be responsible for the crime the
defendant serves a sentence and pays a fine to the government and possible restitution is paid to
the victim of the crime. The case presented is an example of a person who is accused of a crime.

Economics of Carbon Emissions and Climate Change
Economics of Carbon Emissions and Climate Change The economics of climate change is a very
controversial and disputed. To even discuss what should be done economists have to either state
whether or not global warming and climate change exist. According to the CATO article, Climate
Change vs. Climate Models (Michaels and Knappenberger, 2013), The models estimate of the
increase in temperature resulting from a doubling of carbon dioxideconcentration may simply be
too high. As questioned in the article, is there such thing as climate change? Next, if climate change
does exist, are carbon emissions a relevant cause of such a phenomena? With all of these questions
at hand, how do we deal or cope with the current environmental state through economic means?
Does climate change exist? According to the U.S. Global Research Program (USGRP), climate
change does exist. Not in the sense of immediate and drastic changes in the climate, but a gradual
fluctuation in temperatures that have been gathered since the early 1900 s. The empirical data that
has been gathered shows a steady increase in the mean maximum temperature recorded in the
Canadian Climate Change Model which is the basis on the 2000 U.S. National Assessment of
Climate Change. The original model generated had a sine like pattern with a .342В°C difference
between the highest crest and lowest trough. This was then proven an unworthy model when the

walking around the city going in many different directions and making different routes around
the city. The one thing that they can t do, no matter how much they want to, is to leave the city
all because of the laws that the City of Gilead made. That is why I translated people as the rats,
and rules as the walls in the maze. The reason is that as people we want to have fun, do thing we
never did, and go places we never been, but because of some rules we cannot go to certain places,
and do certain things. Just like the rat in the maze. This translation of the quote has a personal

To A Mouse By Robert Burns
Robert Burns wrote the poem To A Mouse . In this poem, Burns identifies the animal with the
human world, although the poem is essentially about himself. The mouse is interesting to him,
because its plight reminds him of his own. The comparison, however, is neither forced nor
sentimental, and the gap between the world of mice and men is bridged by friendly compassion.
The poem has charm and vigor, as well as technical skills. The poem gives us a momentary flash
of a philosophical view of an order in nature, which is not made the subject of moralizing but only
lightly suggested. Light though the suggestion is, it swells out and provides an implicit moral base
for the poem. In verse two, Burns states: I m truly sorry man s dominion; Has broken... Show more

Here he tells the mouse that he realizes its need to steal the odd ear of corn, and he does not really
mind. He ll get by with remainder and never miss it. He then marks a return to the bridge
between the world of mice and men achieved effortlessly and with apparent casualness. Having
linked mice and men in that simple phrase, he can proceed to speak of us which now means all
mortal creatures. He goes on to state: But Mousie, thou art no thy lane; In proving foresight may
be vain; The best laid schemes o mice an men; Gang aft agley; An lea e us nought but grieft an
pain; For promis d joy! . Burns means whether you are a mouse, a man, or any other creature, the
problem of having your plans ruined is universal. In conclusion Robert Burns makes the reader

From the works of the French Aquitanian and Champagnian troubadours, the framework/ideals of
fin amour grew and spread throughout Europe, reaching the courts of Britain. As the conception of
fin amour became increasingly popular amongst the literature of the aristocracy, writers such as,
Andreas Capellanus wrote of the stages and rules of courtly love. Inspired by this movement in the
culture and literature of court, the poet Marie de Francecomposed a collection of romantic lays. In
the Breton Lays , Marie presents her narratives as a guide for courtly lovers. For, each lay
exhibits the problems, consequences, and rewards that can occur if a lady or knight does/or does
not follow the three principles of fin amour which, as explained by the scholars Jeri S. Guthrie
(1976) and F.R.P Akehurst (1995), include mezura (to have self restraint and patience in love, to
have discretion within an affair), joven (to be spontaneous in love, to woo with grand gestures and
gifts), and cortezia (to follow the moral and societal rules of court).
The first standard of courtly love Marie de France presents within The Breton Lays is mezura.
Through the narratives of Lanval and Yonec , Marie reinforces the importance mezura plays in
maintaining a courtly affair; she shows that being open about a relationship can lead to disaster. In

B.Characteristics of Exporters Research conducted on the characteristics of exporters has resulted
in two basic conclusions: (i) the probability of exporting increases with size of company revenues
and (ii) export intensity (the percentage of total revenues generated by exports) is not positively
correlated with company size. Factors such as the risk profile of management and the nature of
industry competition are just as important as firm size. C.Stages of Export Development Firms tend
to move through three phases of export development: pre engagement, initial exporting, and
advanced exporting. As they do so, they tend to (i) export to more countries and (ii) expect exports
to grow as a percentage of total sales. In addition, they also tend to (iii) diversify their markets to
more distant countries and (iv) move into environments that are increasingly different from those of
their home countries. (Figure 13.2).
D.Pitfalls of Exporting The operational mistakes associated with exporting can be very costly. Most
new exporters stumble once or twice before experiencing consistent success. Export specific
problems include: Failure to obtain qualified export counseling in developing a plan to guide export
expansion Insufficient commitment to exporting by top management to overcome the initial

and (ii) export intensity (the percentage of total revenues generated by exports) is not positively
correlated with company size. Factors such as the risk profile of management and the nature of
industry competition are just as important as firm size. C.Stages of Export Development Firms tend
to move through three phases of export development: pre engagement, initial exporting, and
advanced exporting. As they do so, they tend to (i) export to more countries and (ii) expect exports
to grow as a percentage of total sales. In addition, they also tend to (iii) diversify their markets to
more distant countries and (iv) move into environments that are increasingly different from those of
their home countries. (Figure 13.2).
D.Pitfalls of Exporting The operational mistakes associated with exporting can be very costly. Most
new exporters stumble once or twice before experiencing consistent success. Export specific
problems include: Failure to obtain qualified export counseling in developing a plan to guide export
expansion Insufficient commitment to exporting by top management to overcome the initial
difficulties and

Government and Industry were Fully Established in the 19th...
The 19th century in America was a period of development. Now that the federal government had
been fully established, the United States was settling into the new nation and embark on the
journey of becoming a world power. To do so, the republic must construct a thriving industry, or the
economy would crash and the nation would become impoverished. However, the industry was not
easy to build up. It required careful nurturing and a watchful guide so that it would become the
industry in the current United States. Who would cultivate the industry? Rather than a single body
or entity, numerous factors resulted in the growth of industry. In the 19th century, the growth of an
industry can be attributed to the availability of financing spurred by protective tariffs, the Bank of
the United States, a wealth of laborers, and economic expansion. The central government became
instrumental in the industry s success by passing tariffs, and in doing so, protecting American
businesses. Tariffs were taxes that were passed on goods imported from outside the country. After
the War of 1812, even the most stalwart Democratic Republicans [realized] that the United States
needed to attain economic independence (Tariff of 1816). This would become a huge danger to the
nation s welfare if they ever went to war with Britain again, which was the source of their
manufactured goods. Consequentially, in 1816, the first tariff that would protect American

authorities handled the hurricane of Katrina or the way the Arabs were treated. I have herd

because he was Muslim. He was immediately sent to a makeshift prison and wasn t even allowed

Collaboration For Deter Youth Gang Violence
Collaboration to Deter Youth Gang Violence
Collaborative Project Final Report
Douglas Immler, Tinamarie Knowlton, Jon Mast
University of South Florida
School of Public Affairs
Author Note This project was prepared for PAD 6934 Collaborative Governance, taught by
Professor Robin Ersing.
Abstract
In recent times, public officials, community groups and activists have expressed their concern over
the growth of violence perpetrated by youth gangs. On their own, local governments are often
restricted not only by budgetary constraints, but operating knowledge. There is evidence that when
public officials and community groups are engaged, empowered and enlightened in a collaborative
effort, change happens. When both the public and private sectors willingly cooperate together,
deterrence of gang violence can be achieved. This paper delves into specific government programs
that studies and provides information on gang violence. This information brings forward specific
limitations and recommendations that a continued collaborative effort can deter youth gang
violence.
Issue and Goal
When addressing public safety issues, one might assume that the most obvious approach
encompasses an elementary and uncomplicated strategy involving strictly law enforcement
practitioners. A seemingly straightforward approach however is in actuality nonexistent. While

The Conspirator, Directed by Robert Redford
Movie Study
Summary:
The Conspirator directed by Robert Redford is a new historical drama.The basic ethical and
political problems are the murder of the president and the simultaneous coordinated attempts on the
lives of Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward which throw
Washington into panic. After John Wilkes Booth is killed in a shootout with soldiers, his fellow
plotters are arrested and tried, not by a jury of their peers but by a committee of officers.
Among those on trial is Mary Surratt, a widow whose boarding house was a meeting place for the
conspirators and whose son John appears to have been one of the conspirators.On trial for her life,
Mary is defended by Frederick Aiken, a decommissioned captain in the Union Army.
Aiken is initially reluctant to be the advocate of a suspected traitor, but he is deceived into taking
the assignment by Reverdy Johnson , a powerful Democratic senator from Maryland. And as he
becomes inform with Mary and her daughter Anna, Aiken becomes passionately dedicated to
proving Mary s innocence, or at least saving her life.He finds, though, that the deck is
accumulated, and the audience may feel the same way, in purpose of the movie s show of fidelity
to the historical record.
The chief prosecutor, Joseph Holt, is played by Danny Huston, whose silken baritone and crooked
smile are so immediately indicative of duplicity that the filmmakers might as well have cast a
talking snake. Colm

Evidence Based Practice In Nursing Theory
Nurses are confronted with a variety of issues, concerns, and conditions. All of these circumstances
require the use of various theories. According to Im and Chang (2012), there are many theories in
nursing that center on enduring issues, as well as the current issues that nurse s encounter. For this
reason, nursing theories can address the complexity of healthcare issues. This is especially true for
APNs who must meet more demanding health care needs. As an APN, there is a greater need to
understand the connection between theory and practice. McCrae (2012) stated that evidence based
practice is meaningful in regards to nursing theories, especially for the modern clinical

Improving customer satisfaction,
Making employees happier,
Improving efficiency (getting more done, and with less resources)
Saving time, and/or
Improving the bottom line.

Ethics Case Study Summary
Summary In this case study a view of ethics or social responsibility is presented. The case study
addresses what some applicants are willing to do in order to obtain the job being pursued or to
get ahead. A few applicants are willing to change or misrepresent a small fact on their
application or resume (Gomez Mejia, Balkin, Cardy, 2016). Some alterations are to conceal
information that is protected by law such as date of birth (Gomez Mejia, Balkin, Cardy, 2016).
Other times the alterations are made to make an applicant appear more qualified in order to obtain
a job being sought (Gomez Mejia, Balkin, Cardy, 2016). Reasoning for the alterations aside,
misrepresentations on resumes by applicants happens about 30% of the time (Gomez Mejia,
Balkin, Cardy, 2016). Resume/Job Application Fraud Misrepresentations, on resumes or
applications, no matter the size or issue are considered fraud. While at the time the applicant may
deem the actions harmless, the actions really are not. Fraud is a concern for any organization for

Indigenous Struggle For A Life With Dignity

Indigenous Struggle for a Life with Dignity in the Ecuadorian Amazon
In this paper I argue that lawsuit filed against ChevronTexaco for dumping 18 billion gallons of
toxic wastewater, spilling roughly 17 millions gallons of crude oil, and leaving hazardous waste
in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor have affected more than the ecosystem of the
Ecuadorian Amazon. ChevronTexaco has also completely threatened the Ecuadorian indigenous
people s way of life and was able to delegitimize their claim due to the global capitalist system and
lack of epistemic justice. However I also argue in this paper that the indigenous people s struggle
against ChevronTexaco is an exemplification of resistance to the global capitalist system and stands
in solidarity with the global justice movement. Indigenous peoples is a term especially used in the
international context to recognize the existence of ancestral peoples who existed prior to the
formation of modern nation states and whose way of life was, and is, historically denied, outraged
and discriminated against. In September 2007 the United Nations Declaration on the Human Rights
of Indigenous Peoples was signed. This represents a huge discursive change within the international

His idea not only helped to revolutionize and industrialize America, but it also established the
foundation of a social and economic infrastructure that exists today. David Gartman defines this
beginning as Fordism :
Henry Ford s revolutionary mass production processes for manufacturing automobiles stands as an
almost universal symbol for modern industrial capitalism. Both its hitherto unimagined material
productivity and its similarly unprecedented impoverishment of the human spirit are simultaneously
captured by the contradictory image of the automobile assembly line. Along such lines and in
other mechanized processes pioneered by Ford, degraded and dehumanized workers toil to
produce the very products that enrich their leisure lives. The incredible productivity of Fordist
mass production makes possible, perhaps even necessary, mass consumption. Historians remind us
that not only did Henry Ford innovate production methods that steadily lowered the price of a
complex, mechanical consumer good, but he also pioneered the transformation of the toiling
masses into consumers by raising his workers wages to an incredible five dollars a day. In liberal
ideology, the sins of Fordist mass production against the human spirit are more than atoned for by
this rise in material prosperity of the masses that is its corollary within industrial capitalism.

Landscape Of Africville Analysis
Through exploring everyday life, geography is an essential discipline that is a central part of our
understandings of the world around us. An important part of geography deals with the relationship
between human activity and the physical aspects of where this activity takes place (Bryan, 1958). It
is important to then consider that these physical aspects can often be viewed as landscapes within
our society. The concept of landscape plays an important part within geographyand this is a term
that has been associated with a way of seeing the natural world (Cosgrove, 1984). From a
geographical perspective, it is a concept embedded with visual aspects and appearance but also
composed of structure and functions. Although landscapes assist individuals... Show more content

Examining Sherene Razack s (2002) term, a white settler society , we are able to gain an
understanding that the province of Nova Scotia took part in being a white settler society in
relation to the Africville community. According to Razack (2002), aspects of a white settler
society take place when there is a racial hierarchy present and spaces are organized to maintain
unequal social relations. The landscape of this community was structured in this way because
the community was predominately of black individuals and therefore the inhabitants were not
regarded as being an important part of the city. This can be demonstrated through the ways in
which the community of Africville was treated by the government of Nova Scotia. For instance,
during the time that Africville was present, this community was denied of essential services in
which Nelson (2000) explains, requests for water lines and sewerage which would bring
sanitation and quality of life closer to the standards for the rest of the city were refused. Police
and fire protection and garbage collection on par with such services received by the rest of
Halifax were denied. Living conditions were ironically described by city officials as intolerable
and unsanitary (p. 166). Thus, the landscape of Africville was associated with being regarded as a
slum within the society of Nova Scotia. A slum is referred to as filthy, foul smelling, wretched,

Through exploring everyday life, geography is an essential discipline that is a central part of our
understandings of the world around us. An important part of geography deals with the relationship
between human activity and the physical aspects of where this activity takes place (Bryan, 1958). It
is important to then consider that these physical aspects can often be viewed as landscapes within
our society. The concept of landscape plays an important part within geographyand this is a term
that has been associated with a way of seeing the natural world (Cosgrove, 1984). From a
geographical perspective, it is a concept embedded with visual aspects and appearance but also
composed of structure and functions. Although landscapes assist individuals... Show more content

Examining Sherene Razack s (2002) term, a white settler society , we are able to gain an
understanding that the province of Nova Scotia took part in being a white settler society in
relation to the Africville community. According to Razack (2002), aspects of a white settler
society take place when there is a racial hierarchy present and spaces are organized to maintain
unequal social relations. The landscape of this community was structured in this way because
the community was predominately of black individuals and therefore the inhabitants were not
regarded as being an important part of the city. This can be demonstrated through the ways in
which the community of Africville was treated by the government of Nova Scotia. For instance,
during the time that Africville was present, this community was denied of essential services in
which Nelson (2000) explains, requests for water lines and sewerage which would bring
sanitation and quality of life closer to the standards for the rest of the city were refused. Police
and fire protection and garbage collection on par with such services received by the rest of
Halifax were denied. Living conditions were ironically described by city officials as intolerable
and unsanitary (p. 166). Thus, the landscape of Africville was associated with being regarded as a
slum within the society of Nova Scotia. A slum is referred to as filthy, foul smelling, wretched,
rancorous, uncultivated and lacking care (Nelson, 2000, p. 168). What is important to take into
consideration however, is that the community of Africville was racialized against which resulted in
the landscape being viewed as a slum. In addition, the government not only denied the community

Analysis Of Othello And Iago
Self Awareness Self awareness is the conscious knowledge of one s own character, feelings,
motives, and desires (Merriam Webster). Self awareness is key when it comes to understanding
ones self in relationship to ones actions and reality. Perspective, which is a personal point of view
that comes from the self, is what shapes the reality that one interacts with. So it is the self, and one
s relationship with the self that truly determines and ones actions and view of the world. Don
Quixoteis an excellent example of how one s perspective and self awareness are important. In this
story a man sets out on his own adventure to right the wrongs of the world. However, in spite of
noble intentions, this hero ends up causing much more harm then needed because he is not self
aware and has a different perspective than everyone else. In the play Othellomany characters have
the same issue with perspective and self awareness. Othello and Iago are the two main
characters that allow their views on themselves to take control over their actions without their
awareness. There is a tragic ending to this play and it was all because of differing perspectives
and lack of self awareness. The Bhagavad Gita discusses the importance of the Self and how one
must find ways to shape and understand the self for the better. Through these three pieces one can
see and how perspective changes everything and the importance of the self with awareness to it.

Labeling Of Genetically Engineered Food
Labeling Genetically Engineered Foods
A popular debate in the United States that s been ongoing since 1990, is the labeling on
Genetically Modified or Engineered foods otherwise known as GMO s. Genetically engineered
food is an unnatural process of plant or meat products. These two products have had their DNA
artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria to
produce foreign genes in food. Monsanto, an agriculture company, claims the reason behind this
experimental genetic alteration was said to produce a multiplying supply to feed the world.
Nevertheless, Americans are in a debate with the government to label genetically engineered food
due to several reasons. Labeling genetically engineered ingredients will help consumers determine
which products they decide to consume. The FDA published a policy that states they do not
require labeling of GMO foods. Americans and people all over the world feel that they should have
the right to know what they are purchasing and consuming due to a list of health, environmental,
ethical, and religious reasons.
People all over the world have a right to know what they are purchasing and consuming. The US
government thinks otherwise. There have been no conclusive studies that show that genetically
modified foods are safe to consume. The US Food and Drug Administration does not think it s
necessary to require safety studies for genetically engineered foods. The article About GE Food

The Career As A Journalist
As a child, when asked what career I would like to pursue I would have answered Author because
of my deep respect for those who could eloquently format thoughts onto paper. I now seek a career
as a journalist because that literary skill is combined with the opportunity to create a lasting impact
in the world. Journalists are given authority over the presentation of our news and, through this,
help to guide the minds and culture of our society toward responsible stewardship of global
resources. Journalismwould provide me with the opportunity to explore real problems and meet
interesting people, then tell the world about them as a trusted informant. This would make me the
first step in solving some of the challenges that face us in the future, because people can t hold an
opinion on something they know nothing about.
Beyond any of this, in the three years I have been working on my student newspaper, I ve found
journalistic writing to be something that I love. Writing is something that has always challenged
me. Unlike math, which is formulaic and nothing more than a variation or combination of puzzle
pieces, writing has the ability to change over time and for each individual. The written word has
teeth; it can spark change or prompt discussion as easily as it can entertain. This inexplicable and
wild nature of the twenty six characters jammed together in endless rows of possibility is

Benefits Of Being An American Essay
America, a place where you make your own life choice In America, unlike some countries, they
have the right to make their own choices and with this choice they can follow their dreams. The
definition of being an American generally means that one either lives or was born in the country.
However, actually being an American goes far beyond that of the general definition. Someone can
be considered an American because of the location they live or where they were born. Though
that may be true, there are many other things that better define an American. The freedom of
choice, the chance to create a better life, embracing and accepting different cultures, and the want
to defend peace and freedom better explains what it means to be an American. One aspect of

A Relationship Between Hero And Her Eventual Suitor
In this passage, the reader is exposed to two distinct categories of relationships, one of which being
the relationship between Hero and her eventual suitor which is a type of relationship borne out of
necessity and social conformity. Both Anthony s and Leonato s statements in this passage support
this traditional ideal of marriageand love by dictating to Hero her answer in regards to the
impending proposal from whom Hero s family believes to be Don Pedro rather than granting her
the power of choice. Anthony blatantly assumes that Hero will adhere to the course of action her
father wishes saying, Well, niece, I trust you will be ruled by your father (2.1.42 43). If Hero is
being ruled by the desires of her father, it makes her decision to say yes one of necessity in that
she must give the answer of her father and not that in her own heart for fear of some sort of
retribution. Leonato later reinforces this notion about relationships in stating, Daughter remember
what I told you. If the Prince do solicit you in that kind, you know your answer (2.1.56 57). Alone
this statement is somewhat vague leaving it available to some interpretation, one of which being
that Leonato is reassuring Hero that she discovered the response that best fits her desires in a
conversation held offstage and that she should not second guess herself. However, if this reminder

activists involved as well as women activists. Women during this era, fought not only in the front
line for rights, but also behind the scenes as they integrated their rights for freedom in their daily

circulating petitions, writing letters/poems, and publishing articles about anti slavery into

slavery activities, the variety of the goals or purposes in which they pursued, and the barriers in

field being smaller, the fielders are closer together than in baseball. This means that as a batter it s

How Does Nathaniel Hawthorne Use Biblical Allusions In The...
Throughout the Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses several biblical allusions to
emphasize the Puritan society this novel was set in and give the reader a comparison of Hester
to biblical figures, both holy and unholy. The Puritan society was one of strict adherence to the
Bible and its teachings; consequently, Hester s sin is not easily forgiven. Through his use of
biblical allusions Hawthorne provides the reader with a historical figure that portrays
characteristics or aspects similar to that of Hester. Hester s curious child, Pearl, is both a
blessing and a curse. She completely changed the course of Hester s life, at a great price. This is
comparable to the pearl of great price, mentioned in Matthew 13:45 46. The pearl of great price
refers to a man who would give up everything for a pearl, similar to Hester and her conveniently
named child. From the moment Hester became pregnant with Pearl, she gave up her life,
becoming an outcast, and being forced to live apart from the society. It was a great price for
Hester to pay, but a mother s love is one of the strongest things on this Earth, and that can be seen

A WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network that covers a geographical scale, nearly all WANS are
LANs that are all connected to each other. WANs are commonly connected either through the
internet or special arrangements made with phone companies or ISP s (Internet service
provider). A wide are network is different from a metropolitan area network because of the
distance between each of the networks as a MAN (metropolitan area network) only covers a
small area like a city unlike the WAN which covers the geographical area. http:/
/www.excellgroup.com/images/pic/WAN.jpg A WLAN (wireless local area network) provides
a wireless way of communicating over short distances using different types of signals instead of
using cables. A WLAN covers a small area like a house, office, school or worksite. There are a few
advantages and disadvantages of a WLAN, one of the advantages are that is cover the area that
you want it to be in as the WLAN will only be used in a small geographical area. There are a few
disadvantages and they are, WLANs only cover a small scale, The network may be disrupted, for
example if there are other wireless signals around that might disrupt the signal of the WLAN one
example for this is a Microwave, the microwaves emitted by the microwave can disrupt other
wireless signals.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis
Introduction
There is a fierce debate on whether stock market is efficient all these years. Some people
advocated Fama s research in 1960s, and they believe that the Efficient Markets Hypothesis has
been well established. However, others do not agree with. They found some evidence to prove
market inefficient by empirical researches. This essay mainly focuses on the Efficient Markets
Hypothesis, and there are six parts to discuss. Firstly, it will compare the random walk theory and
the weak form of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis; Secondly, it will choose two empirical studies
against the weak form of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis; Thirdly, it will assess the semi strong
form with the weak form the Efficient Markets Hypothesis; Fourthly, it will evaluate the semi
strong form of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis by two of empirical studies; Fifthly, it will identify
the contrast between the strong form of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis with both weak form and
semi strong form; Last but not least, it will use one empirical study to judge the strong form.
The random walk theory is a financial theory asserting that stock market prices change randomly
and no one can predict their trends of patterns (Brealey et al., 2012). Bachelier first proposed the
concept of the random walk theory in 1900 (Fama, 1970). However, it is well known by Kendall in
1953 (Brealey et al., 2012). The Efficient Markets Hypothesis was developed by Fama in 1970

Culture consists of symbolic system of values, attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions about appropriate
behaviors that are shared in our society as a way of life. In other words, culture is a set of meanings
(senses) and values that inform a particular way of life. It is lifestyle that shape and form a

Culture affects organizations because their individuals are influenced by cognitive and motivational
perspectives. From a cognitive perspective, individuals are able to learn from different sets of
values that permit them to organize and process information about human resources management
practices. And, from the motivational perspective, we can understand how individuals view
themselves and their relationship with others. Both perspectives, cognitive and motivational, permit
to have knowledge about the mechanism of cultural influences in the human resources philosophy,

How to Play Volleyball
How to play Volleyball
Practice and heart is the key to be successful in the game. To play volleyball you must know the
basics and be able to master them. You have to be willing to put in the practice and get along with
your teammates no matter what. There are always six people starting, positions 1,2,3,4,5,6.
Positions one and four are the setting positions; the people who play the net. Each time the ball
crosses the net your team has three attempts to hit the ball back over. Each individual has a skill
they may be better at then others. That is why it is a team sport, not a one man game.
Serving, Setting/Blocking, Outside Hitters, Passing, and Defensive Specialist are playing positions.
Serving takes a lot of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In order to block you follow the opposite team member, watch their feet as they jump for the ball,
as they jump you jump with them, your arms straight up side by side. This basically creates a
wall for the ball to hit and not break the plane of the net. Another big thing you must watch for
aside from the opposing teams kills is their tips. If they knew that you are going to be there for
the block then they may barley hit the ball over so it lands right beside or behind you. So you
must be able to know whether they are going to tip it or spike it. If you are playing the net you
cannot touch the net or cross the line underneath the net or it is called on your team and the
opposing team gets the ball back.
Blocking and setting take practice, but these are two main positions that you would not be able to
play volleyball without.
One key to playing Volleyball is passing the ball. The setter does not have the ability to get the
ball to the outside hitter if the passer does not have the skill to get the ball to the setter. If you
cannot make good passes then there is no need for a setter. Passing is a big technique to master,
so it takes practice. It is not hard, but you have to know how much force and distance the setter is
and how to hit accurately approach it. If you are willing to take the time and effort to play then
learning to pass the ball is just a matter of ball control, which is not a matter or skill to do, but a

Figurative Language In Emily Dickinson s Poems
A famous poet named Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830. She was well known
for writing in quatrains and using slant rhyme in her poetry. Figurative language played a huge
role in emphasizing the meaning of her poems, she also used dashes to highlight words. The
poem I heard a Fly buzz when I died mainly described her deathbed scene. She used imagery to
describe how the room looked and how inaudible the room she occupied was, because she could
hear a fly. Dickinson used many sound elements in her well known poem I heard a Fly buzz
when I died . One example would be slant rhyme which is a type of rhyme formed by words with
similar, but not identical sounds. This helps shape the poem s meaning because the poem flows

One literary element she often used in her poetry is imagery which are words that are visually
descriptive or figurative language. By using imagery Dickinson made readers imagine how death is
like for her, she also creates tension to describe how intense that moment was. I could not see to
see (line 20) . would be classified as imagery because it gives readers an idea about her emotions
at that exact moment. Another literary element is mood. The mood is something Dickinson
focuses on, and tries to make clear. Depressing would count as the mood, because she says
certain distressing things about how she feels toward the subject of death. One last example of
a literary element Dickinson used in her poem is simile. A simile is when you compare two
things using the words like or as . The line The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the
Air (lines 2 3) would count as a simile because she is comparing two alike things, death and air.
She s describing how silent she thinks death really is, maybe even peaceful. Many themes can be
interpreted by reading the poem I heard a Fly buzz when I died but two themes seem to stick out.
Mortality and family. Family is a big part of a deathbed scene. Dickinson uses the theme mortality
in the poem to explore all kinds of thing about death. She thinks about how it feels, happens, what

The International Monetary Fund Argentina Project and its problems and outcomes
One project of the International Monetary Fund was a series of loans given to the country of
Argentina in the 1990s through 2001. In the 1990s many investors and brokers looked to Argentina
for investments as they rated its economy as one of the world s strongest (Blustein, 2003, Aug 3). It
was at this time that Argentina first started to follow the International Monetary Fund formula for
economic stabilization in development including reducing budget in balance of payment deficits,
raising interest rates, reducing inflation, privatizing state assets, and reducing trade barriers and
regulation on capital flows in and out of the country (Paddock, 2002, p. 158). These policies
helped reduce the hyper inflationary levels that Argentina had reached during the 1980s. This
positive outlook may have prevented a needed change in the economic policies when the effects of
the Mexican peso crisis in 1995 placed Argentina s economy in a brief recession. It wasn t until
1998 that Argentine policymakers discussed the country s finances with a senior official of the
International Monetary Fund who sounded the alarm that the country might be headed for an Asian
style melt down. However despite the warning significant economic changes were not made, in part
due to the confidence that money could be easily acquired from the International Monetary Fund

Cultural beliefs influence the way patients understand health concepts and how they take care of
themselves. Therefore, knowing a patients background and culture is a helpful key to solving
certain problems. The Hispanic culture is an old and very unique culture that has strong beliefs
concerning death, dying, gender, family, and spiritual practices. Relationships are very important
in the Hispanic culture. The majority of the Hispanic culture are Roman Catholics which means
they believe that the soul is eternal and continues on after the physical body has died. Roman
Catholics consider human life sacred. The Hispanic culture takes family very seriously. Most
people resist of the idea of putting a loved one in the nursing home because they want a family
member to be there for their last breath. Many times, religious values keep an ill person from
feeling comfortable because their religion does not allow pain medication. When a person is on
their death bed, last rites are given by a priest, ill person gives their last confession, and the priest
offers absolution. When a loved one has passed away the family will hold a wake. A wake in the
