I attended a meeting last week with other faculty members. One of them let fly her
/his opinion that sustainability does not exist or is, at best, a bankrupt notion that is
basically a form of greenwashing and that sustainable development was a joke.
Hmmm . . . . Please comment on that assertion. In the process, discuss the big idea of
sustainable development, and more generally the concept of sustainability as applied
to individual businesses. For that matter, what is a sustainable enterprise? Can
being sustainable be good for business? Sustainability has achieved a more
ecological tone in the past few decades in terms of a business model, but it originally
derives from the concept that a business is successful due to the interconnected areas
of economics, culture and ecology. Sustainability is now becoming a somewhat fad
and thus it is understandable that it could be misconstrued by some as a form of
greenwashing . Greenwashing is the idea that a company markets their green or
environmentally friendly changes in policy and values, despite no actual concrete
changes in these areas, for example some argue that Fiji Water greenwasher in terms
of their marketing as an environmentally friendly water company despite their little
effort to actually go carbon neutral. Many companies are seeing the
4. The Concept Of Enlightenment In Hermann Hesse s
Sidddhartha
The concept of knowledge has been essential to human nature for hundreds of years.
It is innate to search for a purpose and a why, ultimately leading one towards self
enlightenment. Hermann Hesse explores the concept of enlightenment through the
use of word choice, setting, and character development, in his novel Siddhartha.
Implementing these three elements throughout the novel allowed Hesse to
successfully convey his stance on self and spiritual knowledge to his readers. Set in
India during a time parallel to the life of Buddha, Siddhartha embarks upon an
adventure to find spiritual enlightenment. This journey begins as an attempt for
Siddhartha and his best friend, Govinda, to find the happiness they feel is missing in
their current Brahmin religion. Leaving their village after encountering a group of
Samanas, Siddhartha exposes himself to a new way of living. The Samanas practice
the art of deprivement. Depriving themselves of food, water, and clothes, the ascetics
believe they will reach enlightenment. Unfortunately for Siddhartha, he is still
unhappy with himself and his surroundings. Leaving the Samanas behind, the two
friends are welcomed into Savathi, a town charmed by the teachings of Buddha. Upon
finding and learning from the Buddha, The Illustrious One, Govinda finally feels at
peace. Nonetheless, Siddhartha is still dissatisfied. Feeling alone and confused, he
once again takes off. The path he took ultimately led him to a life without meditation

What is important to anyone curious is the thought that goes into the title of the
book, or translation in this case: The Sorrow of War. It is short and effective, if a
little plain, as it exposes the main theme of the book right away while inviting the
reader to see how and why. It says what it says: war is bad. War will do nothing but
take away everything one knows and loves. War shows the worthless sacrifices of
the noble and the virtuous. War forcibly warps human beings into inhuman beasts
capable of heinous deeds much like any serial killer. Lucky survivors are themselves
cursed as they have to adapt to a society zombified by the infected wounds of past
bloodshed. What was curious was the alternative translation: The Understanding of...

More importantly was the awareness of this loss, particularly in the form of love. It
presents itself through different illusions. Kien philosophizes about this loss: War
was also a war without romance. He couldn t avoid the drain on his soul, the ruin
his young men were escaping from as they set about squeezing the last remaining
drops of love from their nightly adventures. In fact, he goes as far as to think that
any type of happiness is ...a bad omen, as though happiness must necessarily call
down its own form of retribution in war (31). In other words, any moments of peace
and calm must be supplemented by tragic loss. After all, this is what keeps on
happening to Kien and his many companions, particularly the sub plot in which he is
ever so close to reaching Phuong but something happens which whisks her out of his
grasp yet again.
Kien would go as far as to establish vague connections with Phuong that pervades his
tortured memories. He had conveniently ignored the wild, romantic escapades of the
three girls with their three lovers from his platoon because they reminded him of his
romance with Phuong (139). From the rosa canina to his fevered dreams, living
vicariously through other romances, mistaking others for his true love, or comparing
other women to her. But no matter how he dreams and forgets himself, he will
always be choked by the elusive red string that beckons him to chase an elusive
improbability. Kien and Phuong
6. Pony Express History
Today, the way we communicate is easier and simpler. One can easily send a text
message or call someone for a faster reply. Sending a letter to someone is rarely a
form of communication these days due to the fact that it takes several days to send
the letter and another couple days to receive a reply. Before cellphones were even
invented, sending a letter was the only form of communication that was available.
This first form of mail service was called the Pony Express. It was called the Pony
Express because there was dozens of men riding horses across the country from one
city to another delivering mail. According to the Pony Express National Museum,
the Pony Express officially started on April 3, 1860 when the riders left at the same
time in Saint Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, California. While the riders did not
actually ride across the country the 2,000 plus miles, they stopped at stations where
they could rest and another horse and rider could continue the journey, where they as

According to XP Pony Express, this station was named after Captain J. H. Simpson
who was one of the first to spend the night in this area. The station itself was not
created until the spring of 1860 (XP Pony Express). This station was one of the
first to be created for the Pony Express. One interesting event that took place in this
station was that it was raided and the station keeper was horribly murdered (XP
Pony Express). Extra protection was needed and was denied. The locals put
matters into their own hands and gathered their men to create a form of protection
(XP Pony Express). According to XP Pony Express, this station was most likely
used in the Overland Mail Route. This trail went from the eastern side of the country
to the western side and vice versa. The trail was intended to go from Saint Louis,
Missouri to San Francisco, California (National Park

Most recently, identity theft,violence in schools and terroristic threats have risen
dramatically. There are so many new laws and regulations to help prevent terroristic
threats, identity theft and mass violence in schools. However, not everyone agrees
with these laws. Public safety is more important than individual freedoms of
American citizens because of terrorism, identity theftand mass violence in schools.
Since 2001, new acts and laws were created to help fight against terrorism. In October
of 2001, the Congress passed the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act expanded the
government s powers of surveillance, investigation, and detention of suspects in the

Clark (2000) Women, Gender, and Religion, talks about how the Ancient Greeks
believe men and women were two different species. Men are the superior and
women are the inferior. Clark says { Greek medical writers differ in their ideas
about male and female bodies. The Hippocratic school presented men and women as
separate species (what we might call a two sex model), whereas Aristotle considered
women to be, Imperfect or defective men in what has been termed a one sex model.
Women lacked the firm control of bodily boundaries that men had. Women changed
shape during pregnancy, and they leaked: blood, tears, and emotion. Since woman
does not bound herself, she must be bounded. This is achieved by organization of
her space, prescription of her gestures, ordering of her rituals, imposition of
headgear, attendants, and other trappings. } This describes women as a completely
different and weak species, which have no control over who they are. They are
fragmented beings. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, believed that the way to bound the
female species was by trapping
10. Robert Nozick s Experience Machine
In this essay, following a brief discussion on Nozick s Experience Machine , I argue
that his assumption that nobody would plug into the experience machine is a false
one due to his failure to fully explore what creates a pleasurable experience. I will
then further discuss this idea of pleasure, suggesting that it is possible that the
experience machinecould potentially offer an experience that people would be more
inclined to participate in and that more fully imitates reality. However, I will counter
this with the Nozick s affirmation that people desire to connect with reality and
mimicry of reality does not allow a part in the course of our universe.
Robert Nozick suggests in his thought experiment regarding the experience machine
that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For example, most people may not delight in the process of attending school, but
they would still desire the end goal of becoming a more knowledgeable person or
even simply the satisfaction of completing tasks. This is not hedonistic delight, but a
fulfilment of desires through relatively unpleasant means. Nozick seems to offer
through his examples that his machine may possibly simulate these things, as long
as the experience is ultimately a pleasurable one, and I suspect that this means the
result is an elevated feeling of joy. If we offer this deeper, more complicated view
on pleasure and fulfilment and state that the experience machine could still offer this
to us, it seems possible that people would be inclined to disagree with Nozick s idea
that nobody would plug into the

eliminate federal funding to The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In
doing so, first we will explore several facets of this issue including first the cost of

Furthermore, the station serves as a resource for educational material for parents and
teachers to ensure their students success (Corporation for Public Broadcasting).
Noteworthy examples include Mister Roger s Neighborhood, which aired from 1968
2001, and was funded by CPB beginning in 1970. Another childhood favorite,
Sesame Street, which first aired in 1969, and All Things Considered which premiered
in 1971. Considering the turbulent times of that era, the support of this programming
was a much needed breath of fresh air. Other programs include The Electric
Company, NOVA, Morning Edition, and Masterpiece Theater. The list is extensive
and broad reaching. Considering their worth to the communities in which we live, is
it ethical to defund this programming? Fred Rogers, of Mister Roger s Neighborhood,
also made a significant contribution to CPB. It was the year 1969 when the Senate
Subcommittee on Communications first began discussing cutting funds to CPB that
Mr. Rogers made his plea against the proposal (Corporation for Public Broadcasting).
Almost 50 years later, this same issue is again on the table. One must wonder how
detrimental cutting funds would impact the educational programming to which Mr.
Rogers was so undeniably committed. First, let s consider the cost.
Accounting for less than 1% of the government s annual budget, many smaller
stations, including those in rural areas, rely on such funding

This paper will discuss the importance of the use of isolation precautions, and hand
hygiene. It will discuss how a nurse named Sophie helps mentor a new CNA staff
member to the team by constructively teaching him about proper use of Personal
Protection Equipment and good Hand Hygiene. It will also give an example a
constructive way for Sophie to address the problem at hand. Sophie is what you

of the facility of employment. The nurse will mentor staff and teach by example
along with watching different tasks and giving good constructive feedback. The
paper will narrate some of the teaching Sophie gives Miguel.
As Miguel, a new CNA, came out of the room his nurse Sophie noticed that he was
not wearing the isolation gown, gloves, or mask. She asked him for a private
moment away from others ears and eyes and inquired about it, Miguel I noticed you
didn t have on the isolation equipment when you came out of the room. Do you know
they are on precautions? Miguel s response I saw the stuff sitting there but didn t
really know what it was for. Did I just contaminate myself? Sophie took this as a
learning opportunity to teach Miguel about the precautions and why someone might
be on them.

16. How Did Islam Change Over Time
Paper 4 Islam changed in many ways over time, and these alterations led to one of
the most evolved, developed, and influential religions to this day. Islam
materialized in 610 B.C by the prophet Muhammad, a boy raised by an uncle in
Mecca since his parents passed early in his childhood. He matured and married at
the age of twenty five and bore six children. As he grew older he retreated into the
Arid Mountains to meditate daily and find peace within himself. A life changing
moment occurred when he received a message from Allah, the God of Islam, while
meditating in one of the various caves in the Arid Mountains. Allah then told
Muhammadto bring a scripture to the Arabs in the Arabian language. This spiritual
moment was the marking of the birth of Islam, which has over many years spread
and changed around the world. Over the years Islam s practices changed and who
practiced Islam also changed. Islam first started out as a small religion based in

Islam spread between merchants traveling various trade routes running along the vast
empire of Arabia. Trade was a non violent method the Arabians used to spread Islam.
As Muslim traders traveled along the Sahara Islam migrated with them slowly
adapting to the West African states. It then grew as more people adopted it and saw
the benefits of associating themselves with Islamic culture. For example, West
African merchants saw the necessity of having to associate themselves with Muslim
merchants. This emergence of Islamic culture in North and West Africa led to
multiple African societies and communities becoming centers of Islamic religion and
education, these centers gravitated scholars from around the globe. These are
examples of how trade led to the adoption of the Islamic religion throughout Africa
yet again spreading Islam wider and further than the eye could

18. The Country s National Debt
Is it to be, or not to be? Frankly, if our nation does not strive towards a solution for
the National debt then it will not be . Some economist determined that the Country s
national debt is not an issue to panic over because the Nation will supposedly
continue as it does currently. However, the National Debt that the country has
reached is a problem that cannot be ignored or solve its self and vanish, it is a
problem that has to be addressed. Eventually the time will run out for the United
States to keep pushing the limit on the debt ceiling and then will be left without
options. Looks like it is back to finances 101. In 2015 the Government revenue was
approximately $3.18 trillion, but spent approximately $3.8 trillion. The government
has accumulated a massive amount of debt and interest from borrowing moneyfrom
other countries and the federal reserve. The evident problem is that spending is
more than revenue, thus, requiring the government to borrow and with interest of
course. Once a debt is owed it is not impossible to recover from if strict precautions
are taken to work towards paying it all back. However, those precautions have not
been taken by the government, but instead are ignored. The government keeps
borrowing without paying back the money that is borrowed and only pays on the
interest that is owed. For instance, if two dollars are borrowed with an interest of
one dollar and only that one dollar of interest is paid back then the debt will never be
paid off.

Hence power given to single individual can lead to better results than power
distributed in several people.
It is seen that when Pakistan was being ruled by dictators it was actually bearing
less loss due to corruption. The majority of the corruption cause in Pakistan is due to
the greed of Pakistani politicians. But during the era of dictatorship only one army
chief was ruling on Pakistan. One man can cause less corruption than a bunch of
corrupted politicians elected in different provinces of Pakistan. General Ayub khan
after getting in power instantly took steps to remove the corruption in government
institutes, and tried to remove the social corruption. He also promoted the laws of
Islam. In which corruption was least adopted. That s why he was again elected as
the president of Pakistan in the democratic election by defeating Fatima Ali Jinnah
in the elections. After him general Yahya khan took over the power. He was the
second dictator of Pakistan. He even didn t look forward to prolong his rule instead
he look forward to remove corruption and to hand over the rule to Pakistani
representatives. Similarly general Zia ul Haq and general pervaiz Musharraf also
took steps to eliminate the corruption from the country. So it can be easily noted that
whenever dictatorship took over Pakistan, Pakistan was least exposed to corruption in
government as well as private sectors unlike in the times of democratically elected

24. Frankenstein s Representation Of Others
Frankenstein s Representation of Others
Monsters represent many things that we all refuse to acknowledge. They represent
what we all fear or what society fears. Many monster movies implement certain ideas
about Others. In the movie by James Whale, Bride of Frankenstein (1935), it
demonstrates Frankenstein as the Other, showing racism and how society is the real
monster. Though, the movie demonstrates Germans reaction to Frankenstein, while
the book reflects British attitudes towards non Caucasian people in the 19th century;
the use of Frankenstein is to reflect society views towards Others, people who are
different. The movie gives a good demonstration of this and provides really good
examples.
Frankenstein is demonstrated as a Other, people who are different, not a usual,
ordinary person from society. Society is very much scared of the Others, they fear
the unknown, they have not idea who they are and how to react to them, so the
only may society knows how to protect oneself is by pushing them away. Society
likes how things are, it does not like change, especially when knew people come in.
The people who are different is turned down by society because that is the only way
they know how to protect themselves. That is why the towns people acted how they
did when seeing Frankenstein, they have no idea how he will change society and the
views of people. Frankenstein demonstrates Other by not being a normal human
being. He was not created like regular human

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) describes the cycle of ongoing
development of knowledge, skills and behaviours for an individual in a professional
capacity. CPD begins with reflecting on one s current abilities, identifying any areas
that need to be enhanced or any skill gaps, and setting development objectives. This
is followed by planning which involves evaluating different learning activities to
decide the most suitable option, and then the action of undertaking educational
activities. Finally an evaluation of whether the learning objectives have been
achieved takes place, this may highlight a further development need and continues the
CPD cycle. The CPD process involves creating a record of learning accomplishments

The novella and movie A River Runs Through It show a few different motifs. A
motif is a theme that keeps showing up as symbols. Three of the motifs were family,
water, and hands.
Family was shown throughout the novella as different actions. Norman and Paul s
father was teaching the two bothers how to fish Presbyterian style, using the
mothers metronome (page 5). This shows the father taking time out of his day to
spend with his children because are extremely important to him. Also, this shows
the mother as being apart of the affair because it was her metronome that was doing
the four count for the boys. The checkbook was still in my hand as I reached the
jail, (page 23). In this scene Norman got a call about Paul being in jail and this shows
that family is willing to do anything for you because it was very late at night and he
still got up to go bail his brother out of jail. To my father, the highest commandment
was to do whatever his sons wanted him to do, especially if it meant to go fishing,

X rays and Ultrasound are two of the main imaging techniques used in radiography.
For the purposes of this essay, we will look at conventional x rays and diagnostic
ultrasound. Conventional x rays are non invasive diagnostic techniques that are used
to capture images of the body s organs and bones. Diagnostic ultrasounds are high
frequency sound waves to create an image of soft issues in the body such as muscles,
joints, and internal organs. As examined below, while both are used in diagnostic
radiography, they have extremely different modalities.

* Radiotherapy used to treat cancer.
Ultrasound relies on high frequency sounds to image the body. As stated above,
ultrasound are produced by an ultrasound transducer. To produce ultrasound, a
piezoelectric crystal has an alternating current applied across it, this causes the
crystal to vibrate at a high speed and to produce ultrasound as it converts electrical
energy to mechanical energy in sound waves. This sound wave bounces off the
object being scanned. This sound triggers the piezoelectric crystal and has its
affects reversed. By measuring the time taken to send and receive the sound the
computer can produce images. Ultrasound poses no health risks while x rays give
off varying degrees of radiation. Exposure to radiation can have long term health
although the rates are very low. There are many different usages for ultrasound. The
most common is for * pregnancy scans * examine the heart to identify abnormal
structures * measure blood flow through the hearts and major blood vessels *

Overall, Japan developed into an overall better country. When the Meiji period
ended, with the death of the emperor in 1912, Japan had established an elected
parliament, a well developed transport and communication system, a highly educated
population free of feudal class restrictions, established and rapidly growing industrial
sector based on the latest technology, and a powerful army and navy

governing institutions that would enlist the abilities of men of talent, promote
national unity under the aegis of the Heavenly Sovereign, and improve living

perceptions of the process of human development are covered in detail evaluating
various stages of human growth. As such, this aspect provides an overview of the
stages of human life from birth through the middle stages to the adult stage. Some
various theories are set to provide some guiding principles and concepts that analyze
the human development in a coherence and detailed form. The major theories

As evidenced, the theory is extensively discussed in detail by various scholars who
evaluate different minor branches to give a descriptive account of human
development. Contextually, psychosexual development is estimated by individual
students to show how human personality developed in various phases over the course
of childhood. In this context, psychosexual theory suggests that human nature is
mainly established at the age of five years. As a result of this, early experiences
influence the behavior of the individual by playing significant roles that contribute to
the progression of the person to a completely developed adult.
Learning theory
This theory in human growth and development is developed to analyze major issues
that are not covered in psychoanalytic theory. In this case, it includes the absence of
significant empirical pieces of evidence of supporting psychoanalytic claims by
developing an approach that scientifically encompasses all the aspects of
development (Burns, 2013). As such, this theory thereby focuses on establishing on
the issues that show how behavior is learned. Some of the factors considered for the
effectiveness of this approach include classical conditioning mechanism, operant
conditioning, and social learning theory. In classical conditioning theory, learning is
achieved by the use of a systematic mechanism that focuses on creating an

With more and more suppliers in the market place, customers have more diversified
options regarding products, prices and shopping places. Therefore, marketing
departments gradually come up with ideas on retaining current customers which
brings in the concept of customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is the ongoing process of
customers buying products or services from a specific company (Gustavsson, 2005).
For most companies, retaining customers costs less than attracting new ones and also
reduces expenses on promoting products. In order to reach this aim, the organization
constantly increases customerloyalty by carrying out loyalty programs to reward the
remaining customers for repeated transactions (Donnelly, 2009).

The essay begins by reviewing the literature to focus on the definition and the
different ways to achieve of customer loyalty.
Engel and Blackwell (1982) regard brand loyalty as the customers rreaction to
preference, attitude and behavior towards one or more brands in a same product
category for a long lasting time. Assael(1992) and Keller(1993) defined brand loyalty
as a preferable response towards a brand which leads to the repetitive action of
purchasing over a period of time. While Gremler(1995) includes both attitude and
behaviour into the scale of measurement of loyalty. Blanchard and Galloway (1994)
and Heskett et al (1990) believed that customers assess the value gained from a
transaction or service, thus resulting in customer satisfaction.. It is also related to the
value expected from the transactions with competitors (Zeithaml et al., 1990). The
relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is the most
significant one in the business market on account of the implications for companies
marketing environment and financial situations (Gupta and Zeithaml, 2006). The
current studies identify customer satisfaction as an attitude describing consumers
perceptions towards their purchasing experiences (Anderson and Salisbury 2003)
while customer loyalty, as a result of customer satisfaction, is identified as a potential

Symptom Management Theory The symptom management theory (SMT) of the
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), was revised by its faculty and
students in 2001 (Smith Liehr, 2014). According to Dodd et al. (2001), the subjective
experience that suggests alterations in an individual s functioning, sensation, and
cognition is called a symptom. Dodd et al. state that their theoryprovides a nonspecific
symptom management model to guide nursing practice and research. The SMT has
three overlapping circles which contain the three domains of nursing science, also
known as concepts of metaparadigm of nursing. The three nursing science domains
are the person, the environment, and health illness. In the theory s model, the
dimensions are affected by the three nursing science domains (Dodd et al., 2001).
According to Dodd et al. (2001), there are three dimensions included in the SMT. First
is symptom experience, which includes the person s viewpoint, evaluation, and
reaction to the symptom. The second dimension is symptom management strategies,
which are interventions that are intended to postpone and reduce, if not able to totally
prevent, a negative outcome from symptom experience. The interventions that are
done may be focused on resolving one or multiple components of the person s
symptoms to attain the planned outcomes. The last dimension is the symptom status
outcome, which is a result of interventions done during symptom management
strategies. Multiple aspects are

Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. She
was one of the leaders of the Women s Suffrage Movement. The Women s Suffrage
Movement was the struggle for the right of women to be able to vote and hold office.
The Women s Suffrage Movement officially began in 1848, when the first women s
rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York.She also was the founding
member of the American Equal Rights Association. When the suffrage movement
split in 1869, Susan B. Anthony helped found the National American Women s

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Matilda Joslin Gage published Volume 1 of
the History of Women s Suffrage, followed by Volume 2, 3, and 4 in 1882, 1885, and
1902. They published a total of six volumes from 1881 to 1922. These volumes had
more than 5700 pages, and were the major source for primary documentation about
the Women s Suffrage Movement to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the
U.S Constitution.
In 1905, Susan B. Anthony met with President Theodore Roosevelt in Washington
D.C and spoke about submitting a suffrage amendment to Congress. She was denied
the amendment. The next year, 1906, Anthony attended a suffrage hearing in
Washington D.C. She gave her Failure is Impossible speech at her 86th birthday
celebration. Twenty six days later, on March
13 she died at her Madison Street home. Susan B. Anthony left her legacy as a
member and President of the NAWSA organization.
In honor of Susan B. Anthony, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920. This
amendment was also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. This granted the
right to vote to all women in the United States over the age 21. Susan B. Anthony s
work and perseverance is the reason why women today in the United States can now

His sudden impulse to hate Jews, discriminate them from others, and murder them
gave birth to the Holocaust. Yet, no one did anything to stop this cycle of prejudice,
discrimination, and murder from occurring. Many innocent Jews were forced to
labor until death unless they died of disease too soon. Some kept hope for the
future, while some gave up and didn t resist oppression in any way. These things
would never have occurred if Hitler and the Nazis didn t have prejudice towards

First, it shares similar classifications to director Sergei M. Einstein s Battleship
Potemkin, made in 1925. They both share aspects and qualities that give it an
appearance of a documentary film, which is a film that attempts to record actuality
using primarily either a sociological or a journalistic approach. However, both of
the films are narrative in classification. They both tell a story, and follows the rules
of literary construction in that it begins with expository material, adds levels of
complications, builds to a climax, and ends with a resolution of all the plot
elements. (Sporre) War Horse demonstrates actions of tension build up and release
like those seen in the film Jaws. The filmmakers build into their film a tension
release that deliberately draws laughter from the audience, but at a place in the
film where they wish them to laugh. (Sporre) In War Horse an example is seen
when, in the middle of an intense battle between both sides of the war, a
representative from both sides come together to rescue Joey , a horse and the main
protagonisnt, from No man s land . And the two surprisingly engage in ideal chit
chat about where they are from and How the ladies are in their respective countries.

35. Summary Of Literary Modernism In The Waste Land
Literary modernism gained popularity in places like Europe and North America
during the early 20th century. Modernism was a rejection of old Victorian writing
styles and a movement towards new and experimental ideas. This denial of old ideals
stemmed from the recently fought World War One. The war, as well as the many
atrocities that were witnessed during it, caused many people to reassess the way they
thought about the world and the direction it was heading. Modernist authors many of
whom fought in the war saw the world transforming before their eyes; they witnessed
entire cities shift towards modern day industrialization. Many authors saw this change
as a movement away from the common man and as a migration towards machines
and equipment. This is evident in many prominent modernist works of the time which
were predominantly written in the first personto show these changes and the effects
they had on the average person. Authors tended to promote this self evaluation and
inquiry through symbolic narratives while using many different viewpoints. Specific
characteristics of a traditional modernist work include multiple viewpoints, secondary
meanings or allusions, and non traditional formatting. This break from tradition and
the new form of writingstyle has transformed modern literature as a whole and has
produced some of the most well known writers and poets of our generation.
T. S. Eliot s The Waste Land is a great example of a modernist work. Eliot implements
36. The Samurai s Garden
In every walk with nature one receives far more than one seeks. The Samurai s
Garden is a book that encompasses the beauty and importance of the natural world
through many individuals experiences. Tsukiyama expresses the belief that
humans need help from an outside force, so that they can be relieved from their
grief and misery. In the novel, The Samurai s Garden, Gail Tsukiyama conveys the
theme that in order to heal, people need nature; she accomplishes this through her
use of Sachi, Matsu, and Stephen. Sachi is one of the most compassionate, yet
strong characters in the novel. Throughout her life she has endured shame, loss of
loved ones, and internal pain, but everyday she chooses reality and exists among
all this turmoil. However, her pain is alleviated because of the garden she so
tenderly cares for. This small piece of nature gives her the strength to go on and
slowly heals her from the burdening sorrows she carries around. Tsukiyama states, I
could see in her face, what I had seen a hundred times in Matsu s when he worked in
his garden: a perfect calm (127). After Kenzo commits suicide due to finding out
about Matsu and Sachi s relationship, Sachi feels desolate and... Show more content

Stephen is different in the way that nature not only cures him spiritually, but also
physically. Tarumi s fresh air and dry climate treats his tuberculosis, but also his
inner being. Tsukiyama states, As I relaxed, a sense of freedom emerged which
had been buried under my illness (14). Stephen gains independence and latitude
because of the ocean as well as Matsu s garden. Whenever a loss strikes him, he
feels as if he could always come back to the tranquility of nature and find his
composure once again. Nature s influence on Stephen allows him to heal from not
only his disease, but also tragic events that affect him

interesting. It is not a topic that is discussed a ton, and I believe it would be good to

Globalization and India s Rising Demand for Foreign Brands: Lessons for Marketers
Globalization
Globalization is an inevitable phenomenon that is leading the entire world towards
becoming one market, a global village. With the world becoming a single market,
globalization has had a major contribution in enabling the organizations worldwide
to step out of the restricted domestic markets and to set up their operations across
the globe with confidence. This has largely led to a decline in the importance in
national borders and a greater emphasis on what the consumers actually demand no
matter the consumer is located in the very country in which the organization exists or
an entirely different part of the world. Moreover, with the rapid increase in global
competition, companies that strictly adhere to and cater to the needs of the local
markets are finding themselves at a disadvantage and gradually losing the
competitive advantage that they so much strived to achieve. However, for some
products and services the tastes and preferences of consumers in different nations are
beginning to converge on some global norm.

Although we may mask our insecurities with false confidence and bravado, deep
down most people crave perfection. As the majority of us learn as we age, this idea
of perfection is unobtainable. The older we get, the more we tend to accept the
flaws and imperfections that make us individuals. However, there are others who
never learn the hard lesson of acceptance. Instead they spend ridiculous amounts of
money on surgeries, creams and concoctions in order to rid themselves of these
marks and insecurities. It s a constant battle, a fork in the road if you may, between
science and nature. On one side there s the high road of nature and acceptance, and on
the other there s the scientific shortcut that, in reality, just continues to mask the
original problem. The Birthmark leads us to believe that this is perhaps a topic

characteristic considered out of the normal standards for society; she also has a
very strange and peculiar choice in her clothing. Her clothes are considered one of
her most famous trademarks, so without the erotic clothing she would not be the

clothed in a dress at another event in a huge egg costume. Germanotta even copies
her interviewers by dressing in their daily attire, and she even goes beyond
clothing wearing the same hairstyle that the interviewer wears. She can also be

of the leaving group. This reaction mechanism implies that the stereochemistry of a

When the rotors turn, the battery will be connected to a different bulb lighting up
a different letter each time . If A is typed in once it may appear as Q but then if it
is typed again it may appear as a R . This is all due to the turning rotors and the
criss cross wires completing the circuit in a different way each time.To add to the
complexity of the code the electriacal circiut is not sent though the rotors once but
twice with the use of the reflector. The reflector basically takes the letter it was
given after it went though the fist time of rotors and sends it back out as another
letter and then that letter goes through the rotors again. After the electrical current
went through the rotors twice it will go down to the plug board again. So if our
initial letter of T comes back out of the rotor as Q the Q will continue down to the
plug board and switch with whatever letter Q is matched with.The final result of
this one press of the letter A could come out as ,for example, as K . Overall this may
seem a little complex but this machine is just a basic circuit that with moving parts

44. The Greek And Greek Influence Of The Roman Empire
Another empire would soon take many influences from the Greeks. In Rome, an
empire was beginning to rise. Roman civilization had its roots in Hellenistic culture
because they idolized them. They borrowed and enhanced upon the Greek intellectual
accomplishments. As the empire expanded this would become increasingly
important. As the Romans continued to expand their empire and influence, they were
also spreading the culture of those who influenced them the Greeks. The Roman
Empireat their peak had a vast control over much of the Mediterranean and into
Europe controlling much of Britain, Spain, France, the North African coast, much of
Asia minor. Within these regions they had vast numbers provinces where they would

These effects reached from China, India, the Middle East, and some portions of
Africa. As different regions adopted new aspects of life, they further implement that
into their culture. Then the as the culture grows, it grows with the influences adopted
form that of the Romans who borrowed it form the Greeks. Similarly, with the
Romans and Macedonians their conquest and implementation of their culture was the
main source of the spread of Hellenistic culture. However the combination of
controlling more regions and being more involved with global trade, the Romans
were able to further expand Greek influence than those before them. Soon the Roman
Empire began to decline and an even more impactful implementation of Greek culture
began to arise in a region to the east.
As the Roman Empire fell and small Kingdoms began to arise throughout Europe, in
a different region of the world, an intellectual revolution began and flourished.
During a period between the eighth and ninth centuries, the Islamic world of the
Middle East Experienced its Golden Age . This was a period of advancements in the
sciences, astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. The main source contributed to
these advancements is from the Greeks. However this Golden Age may have been
delayed for many years if not for a man named Mamun. Mamun was a Caliph who

46. Mistakes In The Old Testament
As early as 1600AD scholars and scientists such as Isaac Newton believed that the
words written in the Book of Genesis describing the creation of the Earth and
mankind were in fact true. According to most biblical timelines the Earth and
mankind were created around 6,000 years ago and it has only been within the past
300 years that scientists studying geological along with archaeological evidence that
we now know how the Earth was created along with the evolution of humans. Today,
a combination of several types of sciences tell us that over 4,000,000,000 years ago
the Earth began to form and that the modern human didn t evolve until between
400,000 to 200,000 years ago. Beginning in late 1800 to early 1900AD, a revolution

47. Movie Animism Essay
One of the more common worldviews prevalent in today s society, is animism.
This is also a great cause for concern to Christians because this worldview stands as
a sizable threat to the one truth we know; which is that Jesus is the only God who
has ultimate power over everything. Animism is the belief that any material or
object can take on the attribute of a soul. This means that plants, animals,
inanimate objects, and even natural occurrences can become alive, have
personalities, and can control things. Throughout this paper, I will be analyzing
the different scenes that exhibit the animistic worldview from some of movies
directed by Hayao Miyazaki, a famous creator and director of over a dozen
Japanese animated movies. Almost every one of Hayao Miyazaki s movies share
the similar worldview of animism. The movies that will be specifically focused on
include Spirited Away, Howl s Moving Castle, and My Neighbor Totoro. Each film

In fact, it is a more commonly believed worldview that is spreading to more than
just the assumed group of people, in other words, the tribal nations. It is being
followed by the people we come across in our day to day lives. Halverson states in his
article that in general, most world religions have a concept of God that makes Him
out to be distant, abstract, and unknowable , and lists Hinduism as an example of this
(Animism: The Religion of the Tribal World). Because these people put God at a far
away distance, they then turn to spirits as a means to fill that God void. It is an
apparently easy choice to turn to, when people feel like God is too far away to be
bothered with everyone. Animism has also become a more common worldview over
the past few years in the practice of meditation. According to Gailyn Van Rheenen,
who is an expert on animistic religions, estimated back in 1996 that about 40% of the
world s population followed an animistic worldview (Halverson,

able to run within short distances using the most minimal time. It takes less than 10
seconds to run within a distance of approximately 100 meters. While the animals
move around they try to monitor the environment as quadrupedally and monitoring
of the environment can be able to take as much as up to ten minutes in any case
they have doubts of where they are, this alerts them of any predators. Consortship
is a situation where the two animals would stay close to each other and monitor the
movement and environment of each other. This is done as long as the animals are
out in an environment that is not seen as being friendly. The patas can be seen to
be less vocal and they move around in silence, they make certain noise only once
when they have seen a predator. The noise or the sound takes just a few seconds as

They are clean primates that like grooming, and while observing them in the
morning they would groom each other for about 10 minutes. They clean the hair of
one another using their fingers. Just like any other primates, the Siamangs also do
sleep, and based on the observation that I had they sleep for up to around 8hours.
They sleep alone with one individual hurdled on each other on the tree trunk, sitting
up right. The male and female have a throat sac which they inflate in order to make
a defining sound, this takes place within seconds. The sacs are important in making
their call even much louder than the rest of the gibbons. Brachiating; this is the
movement that is used by the Siamags to move from one branch to another in what
is done very fast and acrobatically () This movement can take as little as seconds

49. Jetblue Airways And Azul Brazilian Airlines
David Neeleman founded the Jetblue Airline Company in February 1999, under the
name NewAir. David G. Neeleman is a Brazilian American entrepreneur who has
founded three commercial airlines; Morris Air, JetBlue Airways and Azul Brazilian
Airlines. In April, JetBlue placed a $4 billion order with Airbus Industries for up 75
new A320 aircraft, and commences leasing arrangements for another eight aircraft.
In July, JetBlue reveals that all its aircraft will offer 24 channels of live satellite
television at every seat, a first for the airlineindustry. In September, JetBlue receives
an unprecedented exemption for 75 take off and landing slots at John F. Kennedy
International Airport (JFK). On December 4th 1999 JetBlue takes delivery of its first
Airbus A320 aircraft. Several of JetBlue s executives, including Neeleman, are former
Southwest Airlinesemployees. JetBlue started by following Southwest s approach
of offering low cost travel, but sought to distinguish itself by its amenities, such as
in flight entertainment, TV at every seat and Sirius satellite radio. JetBlue was one
of only a few U.S. airlines that made a profit during the sharp downturn in airline
travel following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In October 2005, JetBlue s
quarterly profit had plunged from US$8.1 million to $2.7 million largely due to
rising fuel costs. Operational issues, fuel prices and low fares, JetBlue s hallmark,
were bringing its financial performance down. In addition, with
50. Paul s Letter For The Romans
Paul s letter to the Romans is special in many ways. It has provided the church with
such theological doctrine. Within its long text, Paul assures equal judgment by God
as well as equal chances to pursue righteousness to God. Paul addresses the debacle
of Israel and the implications of that on the Gentiles. Paul looks to the Roman house
churches and tackles possible issues within their context. Paul encourages the
Romans to respect and not resist governing authorities. One topic Paul does not touch
explicitly is the role of women in the church, but implicitly Paul speaks volumes
about women within the church. In chapter 16, Paul commends and greets several
women. His language gives strong clues to the state of women in the ministry of the
early church. This paper will explore the way Paul commends and greets Phoebe,
Prisca, Mary, and Juniaand the implications of those greetings to reach beyond the
belittling of women in the church.
Women in the Early Church It is difficult to address the topic of women in the early
church because culturally, Women were not accepted. Generally, it has not been
acceptable for women to have a teaching role within the church. More conservative
denominations may even limit that more. Aside from a general lack of woman s rights
throughout time within many cultures, Christians cite the idea that women cannot
have positions of authority within the Church from passages like 1 Corinthians 14:34
where Paul says, The women should keep silent in the
51. The Effects Of Stress On Captive Zoo Animals
Introduction.
The effects of stress on captive zoo animals has been a major concern among
zoologists as well as zookeepers in recent years (Fernandez et al.2009). In previous
studies, one of the major factors inducing stress in captive animals that appears to
have been overlooked, are the noise levels created by the presence of zoo visitors and
the effectiveness of the design of indoor zoo exhibits in reducing the noise levels in
particular. While research exists showing that the presence of zoo visitors can be a
source of enrichment for captive animals, particularly those who are social by
nature, further investigations have indicated that visitor presence can in fact be a
source of stress in non social species including felids (Hosey 2000). ... Show more

This study will look at the effectiveness of the exhibit design in preventing noise
pollution caused by the increased number of visitors to the Milwaukee County Zoo
jaguar exhibit. The exhibit which contains both an indoor portion which is
designed to resemble the jaguar s native jungle habitat as well as an outdoor
portion, currently houses three adult jaguars, Pat, Stella, and Francisco. Both Pat,
who is 16 years old and formally a Problem jaguar from Belize, and Stella who came
to the Milwaukee County Zoo in 2005, live together as a breeding pair (K. Kuhn in
conversation). Francisco is the 2 year old son of Pat and Stella and lives alone (K.
Kuhn in conversation). Over the course of six weeks, I will be collecting data using
Wensen WS1361C decibelmeters which are equipped with data loggers. The
decibel meters will be used both inside and outside the jaguar exhibit to determine
the effectiveness of the exhibit design. To analyze the zoo visitor effect, as well as
the frequency of stress related behavioral responses observed, data will be
collected during on three different days of the week both through observation of
the jaguars as well as later analysis of the data recorded by the decibel meters. Data
will be collected both on days where zoo visitation is predicted to increase, which
are designated as Family Free Days, where visitors receive free admission as well
as Non Family Free days and Thursday afternoons where a decrease in zoo
visitation is predicted for observation time totaling a minimum of 15 hours. The
recorded data will then be analyzed to determine if the increased noise pollution
created by an increase in zoo visitors will correlate with an increase in stress related
behavioral responses by the jaguars.
52. Essay On Gerald Laing
In this production by Gerald Laing, a young and fit woman can be seen. She
appears to come from a model background as she has a toned figure that is slender
and curvy. She is standing in a confident posed position with a hand on her hip. It
appears the artist attempts to position her short lengthened, dark hair in a way that
portrays the wind is blowing it. She is wearing a swimming suit that covers
minimal. She is placed on the right half of the portrait. The artwork does not
contain any other people or objects in the piece. Laing completes the print using
only three shades of color: gold, grey, and dark grey/black. The gold background
quickly catches the eye. Also, the gold is the color of the swimming suit that covers
the model s bottom half and chest suggesting that the artist wanted to draw attention
to these specific body parts. Overall, the print is organized and has a neat appearance.

Her position is inviting for people to look at and make inaccurate judgments about.
The way she is dressed gives her a negative appearance. She is wearing skimpy
clothing that could be judged as present or absent, in that, the apparel is the same
color as the background. This idea displays women as an easy object rather than an
individual who deserves respect. The angle of her head off to the side instead of
straight forward suggests that women are rude. The title of the piece, Sandra from
Baby Baby Wild Things also hints that women are primarily focused on partying and
involving themselves in wild activities depicting them as unprofessional individuals
who cannot be taken seriously. All in all, the artist does not portray a very positive
theme for
