The small town was rocked when a lone gunman opens fire at the Bakersville’s K-8.Instead of himself, Sheriff S hep O’Grady surprisingly places Officer Lorraine Connor as the primary. Once on the scene, Officer Rainie Connor saw the Computer-science Teacher Miss Melissa Avalon, with a clean shot on her head by the mass murderer. Two little girls were also killed but with multiple bullets. Much of the physical evidence is already damaged due to the chaos that occurred before Raine arrives on the scene, but more contamination follows. Rainie arrested the thirteen year old Danny O’Grady. The Sheriff's troubled and loner son is found holding the murder weapons. He confesses to the shootings.His father further contaminates the crime scene before Raine can get him to leave. He loves his son that much, and he believes that Danny, his little boy, can’t hurt them especially his favorite Computer-Science teacher Miss Avalon. Police Officer Shep is determined that his son will not go to prison no matter what he has to do or say. But the townspeople are certain that the killer has be en found and only want him punished, no matter what his age. The State sends Homicide Detective Abe Sanders, a methodical cop, to take charge of the case. FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy leaves his dying daughter to also join the investigation.Now the question arises; did Danny actually commit the crime although all evidence points to him or is there someone behind all this? Quincy tells Raine that he has some doubts about Danny being the killer because of the precise way the teacher was murdered. As the trio works together, the town wonders why a good little boy would do such a bad thing. Overwhelming evidence points towards the lad but some items lead to a more professional murderer yet no clear suspect surfaces. Unconsciously, they didn’t know that the real killer was just inside the town, following them, especially Officer Rainie Conner. 1As they go deeper to the investigation, a dark secret that Rainie has been hiding for 14 years was revealed. It was the horrific death of her mother. It was suspected that Rainie killed her mother. That’s what the real mass murderer loved about Rainie, the thought that she killed her own mother and the thing that he regretted that he didn’t do it to his abusive father. Due to Detective Sanders, FBI Agent Quincy and Officer Connor’s thorough investigation, they found out that Danny is not innocent on the school shooting. He is the one who killed the two little girls, but someone influenced him to do it so.It is the school councilor, Richard Mann. This man’s real identity is Henry Hawkins of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He only uses the name Richard Mann to get inside the school district. Quincy was able to link him to other school shooting wherein a student was a major suspect. As Quincy and Detective Sanders seek for the mass murderer, Officer Connor found herself in the woods. She was kidnapped by Henry Hawkins. He forced Rainie to admit that she killed her mom and state to him on how does i t feel to take the life of her mother.He got peeved when Lorraine Connor denied on exterminating her mother but, she admitted that she killed her mother’s boyfriend because he raped her. Since Hawkins got frustrated, he attempted slaying Rainie. Good thing Quincy and the other cops arrived and saved Officer Connor. Henry Hawkins committed suicide right before they caught him. He’s thinking that it is better to die that to be captured alive and devastated. Danny O’Grady was sentenced 25 years of imprisonment and Rainie Connor was removed in the service for killing Dave Duncan, the person who raped her, and buried his corpse on their lawn. â€Å"The Third Victim† Analysis of the Novel a.

Theme – Mystery ; Psychological 4 Reflection Through this book, I learned that possible things might have happened, whether it is bad or good. All we have to do is to accept it whole heartedly and move on. Go over with our lives and leave the wicked past behind. There’s nothing we can do to change on what’s already done, but all we can do is to live with it and learn to love it. God gave us life to live, so enjoy it and live life to the fullest. It is not necessary to forget the past, but only those that are needed to be and worth the change.Yes, we’re not perfect and we need to accept the fact that we’re only humans. We get hurt, and ironically most of t he time, but it doesn’t mean that you have all the rights to destroy others lives or let them experience the life that you’ve been living. On the first place, it is your choice to live an unpleasant life. Learn to stop blaming others for someone’s fault. Make use of your time for your own, not for the others. Time heals all wounds, but scars don’t. These scars can’t be left on the past, but are the ones that we need to face for us to live with a peaceful mind and a strong heart. 5

Character Profile Of Macbeth Essay

We hear about Macbeth first in the opening scene with the witches. They speak of Macbeth, which suggests that he is linked to evil through these witches. However, we quickly see that this is far from the truth and see that he is quite the opposite. Shakespeare portrays him as a courageous fighter through a bleeding captain speaking of Macbeth, who is at this point fighting for his country. â€Å"For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name)† â€Å"Cannons overcharged with double cracks† The delaying of Macbeth’s entrance by Shakespeare is a clever technique used to get the audience thinking all sorts of things about him. Macbeth, a courageous, physically strong, good general is rewarded for his deeds by being named Thane of Cawdor. Just before Macbeth is pronounced Thane of Cawdor, he meets the witches with Banquo. The revolting creatures tell Macbeth that he will be Thane of Glamis, Cawdor and then King. He doesn’t realise that they are only telling him the good parts of the prophecy. He is taken back by the predictions and, naturally, wants to know more. He is single minded and wants to believe them. Macbeth thinks of the witches as a reliable source of information, even though he has only met them once, Banquo however has other ideas, describing them as ‘Devils’. â€Å"If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me without my stir† At this point we are under the impression that Macbeth is going to wait for chance to crown him, he goes on to make a speech and says, â€Å"With things forgotten†. This largely suggests that he has thought of murdering the King before, which shocks his brave, soldier image, he then, to our surprise, starts to plot in his mind the route to the throne. In these thoughts he realises that the Prince of Cumberland, the Kings own son Malcolm, is in the way between him and the King Duncan. He hopes his evil thoughts to be King are not found out and we see this when he says, â€Å"Let not light see my block and deep desires†. We see Lady Macbeth reading a letter from Macbeth, this shows the couples intimacy and proves the strength of their relationship. From the minute she reads the letter she is plotting for Macbeth to become King, although she fears he is too weak. â€Å"Too full o’th’ milk of human kindness† Lady Macbeth’s invisible will starts to grow and she cannot wait for her husband. They talk about murdering Duncan, with lady Macbeth trying to convince her husband to kill the King. â€Å"Look like th’innocent flower† This is Lady Macbeth ordering her partner to behave normally at the banquet, as he is planning to murder Duncan that night and his nerves are starting to get to him. As soon as Duncan enters Shakespeare builds up sympathy for him, â€Å"This castle hath a pleasant seat† Duncan thinks it is very nice, but Macbeth’s heart is certainly not ‘pleasant’. He is now nearly convinced to kill Duncan, but turns slightly into a moral coward. He fears the consequences and can’t act if he allows himself time to think it all through. He believes that if he does something bad then something bad will happen to him; which it sure does! Macbeth also respects the fact that the King is his guest and to be killed by the host is not very fair to say the least, Duncan is highly regarded by everybody and Macbeth’s fear of the crime getting out is too much. As well as all of these reasons not to do it, he hasn’t really got the gut determination and inner strength to kill his King. â€Å"We will proceed no further in this business† He gives in to fear and tells Lady Macbeth ‘no’. She is annoyed and scared her predictions of her husband were true. â€Å"Was the hope drunk?† She suggests that the original hope to be King was a fake and tries to win him around. Soon Macbeth is talked into killing Duncan and realises he will have to put on a face. â€Å"False face must hide what the false face doth know† Macbeth is extremely nervous and has a vision, in which he sees a dagger in front of him, almost as if to say ‘go and kill Duncan while the chance is still there’. â€Å"The handle toward my hand† He is very unstable and already feeling the nerves of a murder digging in. Knowing that Macbeth may fail Lady Macbeth takes the initiative and says, â€Å"Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I had done it† This line puts it across to Macbeth that he is a coward. I think that the idea of killing your guest, friend and at most your King is appalling and that Macbeth is repulsive. He nervously kills Duncan but makes a mess of it, bringing the daggers back with him. Lady Macbeth shows huge strength in calming him down, and then returns the daggers. Macbeth is a wreck of nerves, he still cares what people think of him and fears getting caught immensely. He is now wrapped up in superstition believing anything that the witches say. After the body is found the nobles close to Macbeth realise that he is behaving very strangely, in a particular occasion the suspicion of Macbeth gets so great that his wife faints as a distraction. This shows the great strength of his wife and her ability to help him become King. Banquo is certainly Macbeth, his own friend, killed Duncan and tries to convince everyone, causing Malcolm and Donalbain to flee for England. â€Å"There’s daggers in men’s smiles† Nobody knows who to trust and as Macbeth is crowned King peoples suspicions grow, as do his nerves. â€Å"I fear thou play’st most foully for’t† Banquo fears the worst from his so called ‘best-friend’ and confirms Macbeth’s fears by not showing at a banquet. There is a clear difference in the two main characters, Macbeth and Banquo. Banquo is a loyal and noble character, who is not swayed into decisions, he was patient for Fleance to become King, not really bothered about the witches’ predictions. Whereas Macbeth was totally obsessed with the predictions and blasted his way to the throne, we can now see how the two characters are totally opposite. Banquo is an annoyance and worry to Macbeth, this is because he is way too suspicious and Macbeth’s trust in the witches predictions that Banquo’s son would be King. I think that Macbeth feels threatened by Banquo and eventually he decides to murder him, and most importantly his son Fleance. â€Å"Whose being I do fear† – Referring to Banquo, â€Å"Whose absence is no less material to me† – Referring to Fleance. Macbeth’s motive for the murder of Banquo and Fleance was also that he needed piece of mind, he can’t relax if people are suspicious. We now see Macbeth being more self-motivated and doesn’t need Lady Macbeth as much any more. In the beginning he shared everything with her and initially valued her guidance, as well as being dramatically influenced by her. But since Duncan’s murder there is a clear breakdown in the relationship. Macbeth has another encounter with the witches and they predict he will be King until Great Birham Wood moves to Dunsinane! This creates a feeling of invincibility for Macbeth, as the thought of a wood moving seems impossible. From now on he decides to do everything without thinking about the consequences, a very different Macbeth than what we saw at the start of the play. â€Å"Be it a thought and done† All sympathy is lost for Macbeth when he murders Madcuff’s wife and child, a totally disgusting measure and the shear horror is unimaginable as well as being extremely sick. He is definitely not how Lady Macbeth described him earlier, â€Å"The milk of human kindness†. There is now a deterioration of character in Macbeth. The Macbeth, the leader, was good and honest, but now the Macbeth who consults with murderers is a traitor and disliked King. This is proven by many people in England discussing their views on Macbeth; â€Å"It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash is added to her wounds† This is Malcolm describing Scotland under Macbeth. â€Å"Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damned in evil to top Macbeth†. This shows the pure hatred of Macbeth, Madcuff then goes on to say, â€Å"It cannot be called our mother, but our grave†. They are decided to go and overturn Macbeth, â€Å"Macbeth is ripe for shaking†. Back in Scotland we see Macbeth experiencing an element of remorse, which is needed if he were to be a ‘tragic’ character. For example he has no feelings for his crying wife! This is due to his involvement in so many murders, he wishes he had these lost feelings. â€Å"I am sick of heart† Macbeth then shows little, if any, sympathy for his wife who committed suicide. This is somewhat typical of Shakespeare (to kill off the lead characters wife via suicide), for example in ‘Julius Caesar’ when Portia (his wife) kills herself. After this Macbeth’s worst nightmare comes true, when a messenger comes to him to say that he saw Burham Wood move. He acquires a very unsteady mind and tries to grasp some of our sympathy. â€Å"I have supped full of horrors† Macbeth knows a rebellion is on its way and says he shall fight till the end, â€Å"They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly, but bear like I must fight the course† Madcuff kills Macbeth and gives the crown to Malcolm, who pledges a better reign to Scotland. I think that Scotland would be good under Malcolm as there is a sign of Duncan (rewarding friends for good deeds) and Scotland has a sense of freedom as Macbeth has finally gone.

FACEBOOK AND TWITTER OFFER BUSINESSES BOTH OPPORTUNITIES AND Essay

FACEBOOK AND TWITTER OFFER BUSINESSES BOTH OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES - Essay Example Overall, both challenges and opportunities surface to businesses when using Twitter and Facebook. If no marketing activities were present on the social media sites, perhaps no consumer would be willing to pay for such sites. This is majorly because the social media, especially Facebook and Twitter, offer both consumers and businesses an opportunity to interact and share experiences with certain products and services. While most businesses use the social media for marketing and customer service, a vast majority of the consumers tend to offer valuable feedback and complaints via the same sites. This close interaction between businesspersons and their clients strengthens the bond between the consumers and the businesspeople. Owing to the critical service that consumers receive from respective businesses, it is appropriate to imply that few consumers would be willing to pay for the social media sites if there were no marketing activities in such sites. Essentially, they are consumers, and need information about the product they consume, probably from the marketers. Facebook and Twit ter offer the best platform for such marketing activities hence retaining several consumers. Although most marketers are genuine in their advertisements, some marketers have the tendency of posting what a majority of the social media users would consider inappropriate. Perhaps it is because the social media is a platform where people are supposed to have fun and any serious content that interrupts the conversation of fun lovers might appear inappropriate. In essence, oversharing of information by some marketers might be considered inappropriate, especially when such advertisements are unwarranted. Additionally, some marketers do not clearly examine the market segments hence posting would be offensive to some sections of social media users. Therefore, it is imperative that marketers be

High profile CEOs as the topic Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

High profile CEOs as the topic - Essay Example Professional and Personal Background Whitman has had a very diverse career history, serving as an executive at Walt Disney, Procter & Gamble, Hasbro, and DreamWorks. As the President and CEO of eBay, one of her more recent job roles, Whitman was directly involved with growing eBay into the powerhouse auction site it is today, taking the company from its roots of only 30 employees to a major corporation with revenues exceeding $8 billion annually. This experience eventually catapulted the CEO to take on the senior leadership role at Hewlett-Packard, a struggling computer and technology company maintaining its fair share of financial troubles. This is her current role as a corporate executive at HP. Whitman’s personal life has been through its fair share of ups and downs, having received considerable negative publicity in 2010 when she failed to become the governor of California after spending $144 million of her own resources on the campaign. Whitman had caught national attenti on in this campaign having broken records for the most personal expenditures in history in any American election (York, 2010). This was obviously a humiliating moment for Meg Whitman. However, the governance team at Hewlett-Packard was likely not fazed by this failure, as they maintained faith in her competencies by appointing her CEO of the company in January 2011. Whitman’s Management Style and Competency Meg Whitman would be defined as a charismatic and transformational leader. Transformational leaders are those that role model desired behaviors, establish a shared vision and mission, open effective lines of communications in a decentralized structure, and also serving as a coach and mentor to employees and managers (Fairholm, 2009). As the new CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Whitman illustrates these transformational qualities with a recent set of policies involving executives and their role in the company. Whitman demanded that executives abandon their posh offices at HP and, in stead, take their job roles into regular cubicles in order to facilitate better communications with lower-level employees (Thomas White, 2012). Whitman seemed to realize the importance of maintaining more visibility in order to build a culture of cohesion and dedication that is important to turnaround a company that needs more innovation and talent management. Hard Management Practices leading to Whitman’s Effectiveness Furthermore, Whitman’s understanding of the real-world economic environment gives her advantages as a quality leader. At Hewlett-Packard, it was desired by some executives to begin acquiring other companies as a means of turning around the struggling company. However, Whitman used her long-term thinking which is important for managers in terms of planning prowess to recognize that such an activity would only further threaten the cash-strapped company and impose more debt. Instead, Whitman established the systems necessary to invest more heavily in resea rch and development as a means of improving HP’s market position. Offered Whitman, â€Å"Let’s optimize what we have before we go off and do something else† (Worthen, 2012, p.2).

Deer Hunting Protest - Essay Example A pilot program is planed for the deer hunting season in New York to develop the constitution of bucks inside 4 Wildlife Management Units (WMU's) which is situated mainly in Ulster and Sullivan Counties. The new set of laws require that bucks which are handed over to Wildlife Management Units 3C, 3H, 3J and 3K consist of 1 antler along with three point each one is a inch long. This limitation is can also be used in archery, regular and muzzle-loading seasons (Carson 7). For approximately 100 years, a lawful buck had been a deer having one antler which is three inches long. Other states began trails on with plans to alter the age limit of the hunted bucks, and these programs usually generate bucks that live longer and grow bigger antlers. If a hunter does hunt a deer, the law states that he has to report the kill by means of the tax free DECALS game reporting method before forty eight hours. The finding of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in the wild white-tailed deer flock a few years ago in Oneida County encouraged the DEC to accept set of laws to assist in minimizing the spread of the illness. The rules created a CWD restraint area in parts of Oneida as well as Madison Counties. Each and every one wild white-tailed deer which is killed by a hunter in a containment region in various open hunting seasons should be given in for investigation at the check station of the DEC by five o'clock in the evening on the day after it was hunted. Deer might not be skinned or slaughtered. No parts of the body of the hunted deer, apart from those removed as part of standard dressing, of the field might be removed prior to examination.It's the first time hunters have been allowed in the area, it's stirring up plenty of controversy. Some two million Marylanders use water from the Loch Raven Reservoir. The land around the water is a popular place for deer's.

Ethical Egoism Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Ethical Egoism - Essay Example Single Stop is a non-profit organization that helps students in various ways. Services offered in this organization include benefits screening, financial counseling, tax preparation services, legal assistance, and referral services. My service involved making appt for students that qualified for some benefits, passing fliers around the college, and I also worked in the file room and in the front desk. Doing service has numerous benefits. It presents a platform for individuals to socialize and as well make lasting relationships with others, learn and acquire a range of skills and knowledge, gain experience in a range of fields, acquire the ability to work in teams, learn novels ways of ensuring motivation in the workplace, and also have a clear understanding on various problems that affect members of the community. In my service, I was able to achieve all these benefits. There are also costs incurred by an individual in the course of doing service. Engaging too much personal time in doing service leaves little time for an individual to conduct other things of benefit. Spending a lot of time helping others also means that one does not have enough time to do quality work in order to earn a living. According to Shafer-Landau, "Ethical Egoism is the idea that each person ought to pursue his or her own self-interest exclusively" (194). Additionally, Shafer-Landau asserts that "Regardless of how we do behave, ethical egoism says we have no moral duty except to do what is best for ourselves" (194). This notion denotes the fact that individuals are not adequately equipped to address the problems other people are facing. It is difficult to comprehend the desires of other people as well as their individual needs hence it is only right to do what one understand best, and this being focusing on oneself. In the ethical egoism perspective, my service is morally wrong as it does not pursue my own self interests. However, I do not

Chapter 5 PhD Literature review Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 6250 words

Chapter 5 PhD - Literature review Example The robustness of the mathematical model presented before needs to be verified theoretically to ascertain the validity and reliability under various performance regimes. This chapter will look critically at the mathematical model presented before using sensitivity analysis methods that will target the various inputs to the mathematical model. The contention behind the sensitivity analysis is to vary inputs to the mathematical model as a means of measuring the change in the overall output. This would provide for the amount of variation that could occur in the output of the mathematical model in case that erroneous inputs are received. Firstly, a sensitivity analysis is carried out where perturbations are added to the input data (i.e. velocity, acceleration, and throttle position), and consumption is calculated during a drive cycle using the perturbed data. Then, artificial drive cycles are created, and fuel consumption is measured and calculated during the same drive cycle. In the artificial drive cycles, high and low velocities and accelerations are involved in order to study the limits until the mathematical relationship between fuel consumption and drive cycle parameters can be used. Sensitivity AnalysisSensitivity analysis is carried out in order to determine how any form of uncertainty in the output of a provided mathematical model could be traced back to the various inputs that are being provided. The apportionment of output uncertainty to input uncertainties in their respective contribution levels allows improvements on the mathematical model for bringing about greater reliability and validity (Saltelli et al., 2008). A sensitivity analysis may be performed for a number of reasons. Primarily, sensitivity analysis allows the determination of model robustness when faced with uncertainty in the inputs (Becker et al., 2011). In addition, sensitivity analysis allows gaining a deeper understanding of how various inputs are tied to the final output. As

Does the economic downturn increase the rate of financial crime Essay

Does the economic downturn increase the rate of financial crime - Essay Example While the model has value as an economic representation of the decision to act illegally, these decision become more complex as deeper studies reveal more variables. Once the criminal decision is discussed, the way in which that decision is influenced by economic factors within a society is revealed. The aspect of crime for the need of survival is discussed as it pertains to the perception of survival over punishment becomes relevant. Choice becomes a matter that is based on fluctuating needs. As a global economic crisis has developed in recent history, the possibilities of criminal activity having been affected by the situation raises questions that are relevant to issues of safety and security of self and property. Growing numbers in unemployment creates a rich turmoil of need that may result in pursuits that are outside the boundaries of socially accepted behaviors. In an exploration of the economic repercussions of a declining financial system in comparison to the survival needs and the impending losses of individuals that suffer under those repercussions, a rational can develop that overrides the normal sociological imperatives against criminal behavior. Economic crime can be developed in many forms. The way in which financial transactions can be manipulated in order to achieve unearned gains is a form of economic crime that can take the form of frauds which are based on cheques, credit cards, and bank accounts. As well, manipulating transactions in order to hide the origins of the income is considered ‘money laundering’ which is a crime that is preceded by the commission of other crimes. These types of crimes can be committed by people from many walks of life and are predicated on the initial sociological perception of how committing these crimes affects the character of the individual involved. From the ‘floating’ of a cheque to cover groceries until payday comes, to the large scale laundering of felonious income sources,

Men and Women in Business Society Essay Example for Free

Men and Women in Business Society Essay It is said that in nowadays we live in a modern and developing world where people have unlimited opportunities for development.Widely supported statement is the one which says that the individual success fully depends on the individual abilities and skills.Although it is true,still there are some prejudices which reflect on us and our choice.In our more tolerant community(compared to the past) discrimination is unacceptable but unfortunatelly it still exists. More particularly we will pay attention to one popular belief in the sphere of business according to which men are better leaders than women. Where does this statement come from?What are the differences between businessmen and businesswomen?We will compare men and women in the business society and we will try to find out the truth. It is not a secret that men and women have some significant misunderstandings in their way of thinking and character. As it is said-Men are from Mars and Women from Venus. But lets take a closer look at what exactly show the surveys and statistics.According to them in tensed situations men are more cold-blooded while women are subordinated to emotions.Women are more insecure and prefer to do the things on their own,while men would rather give the task to someone else.That is why because unlike women,men feel comfortable giving orders to other people.Men prefer using competition to cooperation,in the contrary women prefer cooperation to competition because women really appreciate their social contacts on their working place.In difficult moment men accept that obstacle as ‘’problem-solution’’while women-‘’situation-reaction’’.For men taking risks is a question of profits. They ask themselves-‘’What will I win taking this risk?’’For women taking risks is a question of sacrifice or ‘’What is the price of this risk?’’, ‘’What will I have to sacrifice taking it?’’Women accept success as happy concurrence of circumstances while men in case of success take merit to themselves. From all mentioned above we come to a conclusion that women are more emotional and they pay more attention to their feelings-Business as a game of interests does not tolerate such behavior. That is why the sensibility of women and their subordination to criticism are perceived as disadvantage. In spite of all statistics and statements of psychologists my personal opinion is that we do not have to make a difference between a man and a woman. In spite of all supporting the thesis that men are better business leaders we-women know that the best way, in which men can obey to the women, is to remain them to belive that they are the leaders.So weather men are better business leaders or we women let them(in purpose) believe so is still a question with no answer.

“Mirror” by Sylvia Plath Essay Example for Free

â€Å"Mirror† by Sylvia Plath Essay The poem â€Å"Mirror† by Sylvia Plath is told from the point of view of a mirror hanging up on a wall. This mirror has, over time, been privy to the tears of a woman over who she sees in it, desperate grasps at moonlit lies, and the endless speculations of a pink with speckles wall. â€Å"Mirror† is a poem that probes into the corners of human nature, beauty, life, and death, reflecting back their truths to readers as good mirrors do. In this poem, readers can see the truth about themselves reflected among the words as though the poem itself is a mirror, too. Just as the poem reflects truths to readers, so the mirror in it reflects truths to the woman it sees every day. It is objective about everything it observes in the woman, for it can have no biases simply owing to the nature of its stature. The description the mirror gives of itself in the first few lines is that â€Å"I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions./Whatever I see I swallow immediately/Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike./I am not cruel, only truthful-/The eye of the little god, four cornered.† It is giving, true to its nature, a frank description of itself—nonjudgmental and unprejudiced of its admirers. Mirrors never have and never will pass any judgment on their gazers. They leave that for the gazers themselves to do, and they always do just that, as is human nature. The mirror prides itself on that same clear-cut honesty of the faces it regurgitates back for judgment. It is almost arrogant about it, refusing to falter in its own perfection for a moment, even as â€Å"she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon† which cast false shadows upon her face. It continues to reflect the woman honestly, even though she cannot see it, so that when she learns of the lies and turns back, there she is in all her self-perceived imperfection. Not one person, the woman of the poem included, has ever been judged by a mirror, but rather through it. It is because of it that the woman can see her outer self, so also because of it, she sometimes forgets her inner self. She forgets the pink behind the speckles on the wall of her face, seeing only that the speckles are marring the beauty of it. The mirror, however, does not see the destruction the woman sees, for she is the only one of the two who has the desire to judge. She was the only true master of herself, but she ended up caving in under her preconceived notions of society’s view of her. She became a slave to the mirror and her interpretations its truths. One of these truths is age. No one has yet achieved immortality, and so death is still a formidable foe. Mirrors  reflect the coming of this rival in the rivulets and creases found in a face of age, and many people obsess over this manifesting. In the poem, according to the mirror, â€Å"I am important to her. She comes and goes./Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness./In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman/Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.† The woman in the poem â€Å"h as drowned a young girl† in her obsessions, aging her into â€Å"an old woman . . . like a terrible fish.† With each day, the manifestation becomes more pronounced because â€Å"Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.† She wasted away in front of that mirror so that now, death â€Å"Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.† She hates the mirror’s honesty on the matter, but cannot turn away. She is unable to resist knowing that death is creeping ever closer every day. She lives her life, it seems, around that knowledge, convinced that she should not be as she is. She is, as the poem says, â€Å"Searching . . . for what she really is.† She is unaware that all around her, death is marking others down for capture with the lines of age. All she knows is that she has gone from â€Å"pink, with speckles† into a world of darkness that she disapproves of seeing in the mirror. She does not seem to under stand that in fact, no one will be left unaffected. â€Å"The eye of the little god† will seek out everyone from all four corners of the globe. In the end, her obsession kills her, the â€Å"terrible fish† having finally made it to the surface. The woman in the poem lives and dies within it, mirroring any and all readers’ lives in that. The poem offers up a universal reflection of a person for readers to judge themselves. After all, it is a mirror and that is what mirrors do.

Ward Management And Leadership Pressure

Ward Management And Leadership Pressure Reflective practice is a key aspect of Nursing Management and is guided by specific models of reflection. These models act as a framework within which nursing professionals can work. Additionally, it can also be considered as a learning model that serves the rationale of a profession and is predominantly linked to the field of health sciences. The practices based on Reflective approaches emphasize on the importance of learning through experiences following the thinking process and correlates the realistic experiences with the speculative learning approaches. Among the various different models of reflection, Gibbs Model strengthens upon the event and includes a critical description of situational happenings together with a reflection of perceptions and feelings persisted at that time upon being in to the state or situation. Subsequently, the nursing professional personally evaluates the nature of experience in a way that was been good or bad and thereby analyses if she can create any sense to the situation (Atkins, Murphy 1994). Within this essay, the described case study reflects on the ward manager who possessed minimal confidence at the time of assessment owing to the internal anxiety as well as the leadership pressure and lack of knowledge. In addition, this essay discusses several concerns pertaining to nursing practice and provides an insight to the potential importance of like history taking process and physical assessment. The Ward manager must understand the following principles of history taking process: Obtaining a history about health is a conversation that underlines a specific purpose. Unlike social discussions where in which we express the needs and interests with a responsibility only for ourselves, the primary goal of a nursing professional is the patient interview (carried out for the well-being of the patient) (Bickley, 2009). The underpinning ideology of history taking process is to establish a supportive and trust worthy relationship, gather and to offer information. It must be understood that the basic communication skills are essentially needed in order to maintain an effective rapport between the patient and therapist. The specific communication strategy of maintaining an open, reverent and inquisitive attitude (in questioning pattern) play a crucial role in enhancing the communication process, establishing trust and rapport together with the willingness of the patient in teaching to the history taker. But these strategies tend to exhibit difficulties during the coding process, especially when numerous answers were provided. The strategy of collaborative partnerships with the communication that is dependent on trust, respect and a willingness to reconsider assumptions assist in enabling patients to express concerns that run oppositely to the dominant culture. But these approaches cannot be applied to the limited number of population and it completely depends upon the interest of the patient. Nevertheless, the principles laid down by Tavistock (Rights, Balance, Comprehensiveness, Cooperation, Improvement, Safety and Openness) including other communication strategies guide the behaviour of individuals and the questioning patterns within healthcare. The critical knowledge about anatomical landmarks is definitely needed for any Ward Manager, prior to physical assessment process. These landmarks include hair (surface, allocation, scalp and critters), Nails and Skin (the assessor must know the terminology, diagrams and pictures of various layers). The HEENT (Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouse and Throat) system, Thorax and Lung portions, the BREEK that involves breathe sounds, respiratory warning signs and terminologies as well as the video graphical picture of lungs and breast region to analyse the alveolar and blood vessel distribution (Hopcroft, Forte 2007). Additionally, the physical assessment skills play a crucial role identification and management of actual and potential health problems, evaluating the efficacy of nursing care, promoting the nurse patient relationships, making clinical judgements and developing, establishing the data that aid in the evolution of future nursing phases and practices (Jarvis, 2007). Though patient h istory is subjective, the physical assessment process is an objective study that starts with a general survey. Each part of the body that was reviewed has a nursing history during the initiation of objective exam procedure (Bickley, 2009). However, the ward manager must develop following strategies to ensure the quality within the physical assessment process. These comprise of asking open ended questions, listening cautiously and unwearyingly to the patient story, keeping an eye on physical findings, patients story, designing a methodical and organized sequence of physical examination and history taking process, evaluating mistakes in data compilation and construal techniques, conferring with the ward colleagues and reviewing the medical literature to clarify the potential uncertainties and finally applying principles of evidence based data analysis and practice within patient information and setting (Clark, Walsh 1999). On the other hand, the Ward manager must understand certain principles that govern the physical assessment. The selected assessments have to be valid, reliable and consistent. It must be highly specific and should identify the percentage of people who assessed negative among the group of people with no -diseased conditions (Cross, Rimmer 2002). Additionally, the principle of predictive value that indicates the reliability of the symptom (in examining the presence or absence of the disease) must also be conferred and the probability of true negatives out of the total population count need to be tested (Johns, 1995). Lastly, the test processes have to maintain sensitivity in a way by analysing the proportion of people with true positives and false negatives among the various groups of people under study (Higgins, 2007). Within the occupational health environments, tests are generally performed to minimise the work risks and to control the identified health complexities. The performed diagnostic tests include blood tests (Complete Blood Picture), breathing tests, heart rate and blood pressure monitoring, genetic and AIDS testing through specimen analysis (examples include stool test for occult blood, Tuberculosis testing and collecting blood samples for HIV and other sexual disease screening) (Higgins, 2007; Johns 1995). Furthermore, numerous diagnostic tests may be carried out on a regular basis depending upon the diseased condition of the patient. It is very important for the Ward Manager (who is carrying out the assessment) to understand the reference and the normal values of these diagnostic tests (Thibodeau, Patton 2006). The process of interpretation must be performed within the state of patient well being context and assessor must understand that specific circumstances like hydration, mental s tatus, fasting, nutrition and flexibility with the test etiquettes are the some of the influential factors that affect the test outcomes. The interferences due to alcohol and drug consumption, physical exercise, foods and beverages including diurnal and other cyclic variations must be analysed by the Ward Manager. This can seem to be possible only when he/she possess profound knowledge about pharmacology and physiology of the patient and exhibition of such knowledge is definitely needed to identify the patients state and condition (Bickley, 2009). In addition, the issues of Nonmaleficence (considered as not doing any harm or stated as First, do no harm). Beneficence that dictates the assessor in doing good for the patient must be followed. The specific actions of the clinicians need to be encouraged by what is within the patients best interest (Thibodeau, Patton 2006). Autonomy where in which the patients possess a right to choose their own best interest must be governed by the Ward Manager as a part of professionalism. The patient data must be maintained in a high confidential manner and should not be disclosed to anyone unless specific circumstances persist. The assessor need to enable the patient in explaining openly about his condition and should not be interrupted. In diagnosing mentally challenged patients, the ward manager need to give prime importance to the Informed Consent, an essential legal, professional and ethical issue that exercise the decision making capacity and treatment procedures (Fairley, 2005). During em ergency situations, where consent cannot be acquired, the treatment must be provided for any patient who need it and such treatment must be limited in a way that is instantaneously necessary to protect life and to prevent deterioration in patients health. This is the principle of necessity and it must be executed as a part of nursing profession (Higgins, 2007). In carrying out a physical assessment to the patient, the Ward Manager utilizes two different approaches, Head to Toe assessment (also called as Cephalocaudal approach) and Body systems approach. The first strategy involves examining the patient from top of the body to the toe portion (Schon, 1993). This type of assessment used in data collection aids to thwart overlooking of certain aspects in data collection process, minimizes the positional changes required and consumes less time as the nurse avoids periodical movements around the client. But this strategy may not ease the problem identification process. Towards the other side, the body system strategy includes collection of relevant data in accordance to the well-designed systems of the body. Further, it involves structural examination of each system with an aim to obtain clustered findings and disease identification (Bickley, 2009). Nevertheless, this approach may create tiresomeness to the patient and nurse owing to frequent po sitional changes. Additionally, this approach enables the nurse or the assessor in examining the body parts repeatedly and thereby devour more time. With relation to the present case study, it is highly necessary for the ward manager to gain sufficient knowledge on underlying principles of two strategies and I suggest he/she should implement the specific approach depending upon the patient condition, time and the proposed treatment (Bickley, 2009). If I was given a role in performing physical assessment, I would divide the patient body in to six general areas: head and neck, chest, abdomen, extremities, genitalia, anus and rectum. The findings obtained will be conferred for high accuracy as they critically depend upon specific techniques employed as well as on the structures identified (Jarvis, 2007). Additionally, the mental status assessment will be performed as a part of my role as this help would me in obtaining information about the level of patients organic functioning, attention, memory, abstract thinking ability. Each patient is assessed in a Cephalocaudal manner and the data obtained was documented carefully as it is important in the objective assessment (physical assessment) process (Cross, Rimmer 2002). Additionally, I will correlate the information present in preliminary test reports with the objective assessment data to identify the exact aetiology of the disease. The knowledge gained with relation to the reference and normal values will be applied within the treatment practice to understand the critical effect of prevailing imbalances. The patient will be assessed in a confident manner without any interference of anxiety and depression. The knowledge gained through the pharmacological and physiological perspectives was utilised to evaluate the disease and its deleterious effects on body systems. Following the analytical interpretations, the patient is then prescribed with the medication that suits with the disease condition. The total patient report signifying his name, identified medical problem, tests, findings and the treatment plan proposed will be documented for future reference (Bickley, 2009). Apart from these, various inter professional working barriers optimise the health care profession as well as the assessment process. These include professional jealousies, impractical expectations of others, confusion ambiguity about the role, professional attitudes towards one another, leadership responsibilities, anxiety, depression and lack of knowledge and several others. To enable an effective working relationship in nursing practice, it is very important to address these issues (Gustafsson, Fagerberg 2004). Among various factors depicted above, Leadership is the important issue and good leadership is essentially needed to enable efficient and effective decision making processes and assessments. The study by Clouder and Sellars (2004) identified that there may be nervousness for nurses and ward managers between their traditional role of care and rehabilitation therapy that demands standing back and encouraging independence. Introducing sudden responsibilities upon the nurses in a way by moving them from comfort zone (of taking care of patients) may increase their work load and this eventually leads in inappropriate assessment (Clouder, Sellars 2004). In order to demonstrate high expertise within the health care practice, nurses must possess essential skills related to therapeutic practice, coordination, empowerment and advocacy, education, clinical reasoning and governance, political awareness and advice or counselling techniques (Clouder, Sellars 2004). Today, the National and International Organisations in various countries have recognised the health promotional strategies for physical assessment process. Current concepts of these strategies include detection and prevention of disease through active promotion of well-being and quality of life, in-depth understanding of physical, cognitive, emotional and social factors that underline the disease process and addressing such factors with the use of sophisticated methodologies. Additionally, the patients must be advised about the various developmental strategies and an integrated explanation should be provided on the physical findings with health promotion (Somerville, Keeling 2004). When diagnosing children, the nurse must advise their parents about various developmental strategies, immunisation schedules, screening procedures that aid in their child development process. It must be understood that in order to achieve a healthier world, every health care professional must broadly empha sise on comprehensive health promotional strategies during childhood as their ultimate future depends upon the implementation of these approaches. Conclusion The present case study upon the Ward manager who was ineffective in carrying out assessment owing to depression, anxiety and leadership was effectively demonstrated along with the strategies that are needed to be followed to tackle such conditions. The manager was recommended to gain knowledge about pharmacological, physiological and anatomical perspectives. Lastly, I would advise the Ward manager to repeatedly practice Gibbs model of reflection, in a way by completing an exercise that provide an elaborate description of events, feelings, good and bad experiences and thereby analysing the responses practically to the situation under study.

Cuban Situation :: Cuba Politics Economy Economics Essays

Cuban Situation Cuba needs cows. In January of 2004, a Cuban delegation visited Florida to inspect beef and dairy cows to repair Cuba’s languishing cattle industry. Moreover, under the auspices of the U.S. Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act in 2000, the United States exported $350 million dollars worth of American agriculture products to its island neighbor in 2000 (Bussey 1). This budding trade relationship is symptomatic of a broader move by Cuba to fully re-insert itself in the global economy. Deprived of the protective cocoon of Soviet trade agreements and faced with economic crisis and stagnation, Cuba’s leaders have responded with limited economic reforms. It is clear, however, that Cuba will not emulate the rapid liberalization of much of Eastern Europe and Latin America. A brief review of Cuba’s economic performance since the fall of the Soviet Union reveals a trend of liberalization bred of necessity. Nevertheless, the mixed performance of the Export-Pro cessing Zones and the government’s grudging acceptance of tourism reveal a tension between Cuba’s need for foreign currency and direct foreign investment and a desire to insulate and preserve Cuba’s existing domestic apparatus. This tension underlies Cuba’s ongoing economic transition and has prevented wholesale market liberalization. Cuba’s future movement towards market reforms will be carefully managed by the Castro government to protect Cuba’s revolutionary legacy and to maintain control of political opposition. The fall of the Soviet Union devastated the Cuban economy. Cuba’s GDP contracted by 35-50% from 1989-1993 (LeoGrande quest 5). As a percentage of total Cuban trade, the Soviet Union’s share fell from 66% in 1990 to 15% in 1994 (5). Moreover, Russia reneged on its oil agreement, and fitful exports caused energy shortages in Cuba. Production and consumption plummeted. From 1986-1991, Castro undertook a rectification campaign to stabilize the economy as the Soviet Union decreased its support and eventually collapsed. The plan â€Å"focused on re-centralizing economic planning authority, dismantling the [Soviet-sponsored socialist management system] and market mechanisms, abolishing the free farmers markets launched in 1980, and combating corruption† (4). In addition, Castro tried to address the massive trade imbalance by reducing imports and reinvigorating the export sector. This program was a resounding failure. More domestic and far-reaching reforms were necessary to save the economy from crisis. Economic disaster had erected a serious challenge to Cuba’s socialist program. In 1991, Castro’s announcement of a â€Å"Special Period in a Time of Peace† marked the beginning of Cuba’s new era of liberalization.

Probation and Electronic Monitoring Essay -- essays research papers

I am doing this paper on electronic monitoring. I am doing this paper because I need a paper to write for you and this is the page I opened to in the book to get the idea. No, really because I believe that electronic monitoring is a terrific way to police probation and parolees when probation and parole officers are so severely overworked. By not having to check in on the offenders as much, because at any time we can hit a button and know exactly where they are, or be notified instantly when they are somewhere they shouldn’t be, it would be a lot easier on probation and parole officers.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Electronic monitoring is a good idea and should be used more.

What Is Anthropology? How Is It Done? Essay -- Anthropology Essays

What Is Anthropology? How Is It Done? People enter the field of anthropology for a variety of reasons. Some people enter the field by accident. This means that they did not intend on becoming an anthropologist. Some people were interested in the field from the start. One person married a social anthropologist; and, after living with a group of people for two years wrote an ethnography about the people. The first story is about Adrienne Zihlman. She is a paleoanthropologist. She collects all kinds of bones; so, she can "contrive and test ideas about the origins of humans by studying the remains of living things" (Shell 1991:37). Zihlman went to Miami University of Ohio, where she decided to major in anthropology after reading Margaret Mead's book, "Coming of Age in Samoa" (Shell 1991:38). Since Miami University didn't have an anthropology department, she transferred to the University of Colorado (Shell 1991:38). After graduating in 1962, she went to do graduate work at Berkeley (Shell 1991:38). This is where she decided to focus herself on finding out how our ancestors began to walk (Shell 1991:38). Zihlman has ideas about how we came to be that are contradictory to what most people believe (Shell 1991:37).

Bmw Case

What was BMW’s motivation behind the idea of producing the films? BMW’s motivation behind the idea of producing the films was one to simply communicate, and focus on â€Å"what makes a BMW a BMW†. In fact, there was no product launch to advertise and BMW was able to use this time to shift its strategy from ‘push’ to ‘pull’. The goal of this advertisement was to â€Å"produce the most exciting, fun thing people had ever seen come out of their computer†. In terms of numbers, this campaign was used to maintain growth and sales, which had been growing excessively since 1992: from 60 000 units sold to 180 000 units (exhibit 1). In terms of target, BMW wanted to attract younger generations while still keeping its current target audience. This would enable the brand to increase the already high brand loyalty (44. 7%, Exhibit 8a), by getting customers from a younger age, and therefore following them throughout their lives. In terms of image, the goals of this campaign were to strengthen the company’s brand image in luxury segment, and differentiate it from other competitors. Who was the target market for the BMW Films campaign? With its campaign, BMW was hoping to reach customers between the ages of 25 to 44 who were new to the luxury car market, without affecting their current customer base, being 46 year old male, married with no children with a median income of about $150 000. This target audience was therefore well educated, two thirds were very active males engaged in sports and other activities. BMW wanted to target people who wanted a perfect product, stylish and which offered great driving experience. Last but not least, the target was highly attracted to technology, as the â€Å"Internet was used by 85% of customers before buying a BMW†; the films on the Internet therefore targeted perfectly these people. How successful has the campaign been? Why or why not? There are two ways of defining a successful campaign: the effectiveness and efficiency. In terms of effectiveness, it is important to compare the results according to the initial goals. Overall, the campaign was really successful: BMW sales increase by 12. 5% compared to 2000. Concerning viewers, films were viewed 11 million times in the first four months, and were seen by 1 981 049 people in total. The short films were recommended by 94% of the people who registered on the website, showing how incredible and successful the buzz was. Last but not least, two million people registered on the site after viewing the films and 60% signed up to receive newsletters and other information. In terms of numbers, this campaign was therefore obviously very effective: it was a tremendous buzz and gave the brand a â€Å"cooler† and younger image. Concerning target audience, in comparison with the overall goals, BMW was very successful here again. In fact, the median age of the people who registered on the website was 31, exactly in the target market goal. Moreover, the higher segments of viewers were in the range of 25 to 34 years old (35%) and between 35 to 44 years old (22%). These segments include both young people targeted by BMW and its current target market. 63% of viewers were educated and 68% of profile visitors owned non luxury makes, and were therefore new to the luxury segment. Here we can clearly see that all target objectives were reached by BMW. In terms of strategic goals, the company was also successful: it perfectly produced â€Å"the most exciting, fun thing people had ever seen†, and focused their message on what makes a BMW a BMW. Here is what a viewer said: â€Å"BMW lets the directors do whatever they want and they’re not constantly shoving the BMW logo in your face or anything†. Here again, BMW reached its entire strategic goal. Overall, the campaign was extremely effective in terms of achieving goals and communication to customers. Although effective, it is important to calculate the efficiency of this campaign. In order to do so, it is necessary to calculate the Cost per Thousand (CPM), and compare it to an ad airing during the super bowl. The calculations are detailed in Appendix 1. I have focused my analysis on the movies which aired on the internet, their costs of production and number of viewers, to compare it to the super bowl commercials. Overall, even without considering the costs of publicity (trailers on TV, print advertising) which reached $14 million, the CPM is way higher than for super bowl commercials ($ 7571 against $ 31. 25 respectively). Therefore, the efficiency of the BMW film series was low, as costs were way higher compared to the audience reached. In conclusion, this BMW campaign was very effective but not efficient. BMW should now focus on an â€Å"encore†. I believe that the company should create a DVD to give to dealerships in order to reach potential customers and already existing customers who didn’t view the movies. In addition to that, BMW should produce three to four new films with Clive Owen. This would enable BMW to answer the demands and desires of their customers, without disappointing them. When using A Brand New World, I believe that BMW was really able to create brand strength and not only brand awareness. This campaign really enabled the company to create an emotional attachment with both its customers and potential customers.

16th Century Story-Romeo and Juliet

16th century was the g sr.en distri exactlyor stagecoach for English literature culminating from the age of conversion born from the endingbed of medieval scholasticism to entire impudently patterns, ideas and culture. The human thoughts were free from the durance of fixed principles of Aristotelian philosophy to the doctrines of Christianity. The extremity of Renaissance implied a perception of great beauty and polish in the classic and Latin Scholars. In an separate(prenominal) haggle, it was a birth of a kind of new-sprung(prenominal) inventiveness in classicism. The renaissance bring back ancient classical learning into an sphere of influence of Dramatics. Play writers from liturgical wanton away shifted to the miracle to theology and from the morality to the interlude and from their journey began to with the unbendable drama of Elizabethan age.Play writers began to avoid classicist approach in favor of originality and blase ideas defying the octogenarian con ventional ways. In this denudate of new thoughts and ideologies and certain social obstructions plaguing the house humans, there was born William Shakespeargon, a new soul to whom Ben Johnson a worthy opp sensationnt and harsh critic gave his glowing tri stille with these wordsSoul of the age compliment De light(a) the wonder of our stage Triumph, my Britain cubic yard hast one to show,To whom wholly videos of Europe lawcourt owe.He was not of an age, exclusively for on the whole(a) the time. (Payne & huntsman 2003)Shakespe be genius operated in his capacity to puzzle the length and breath of human animatenesss and credit in all its complexity and variety and has touched all element of human experience and e truly(prenominal) segment of human sensibility. Within his encounters atomic number 18 interlaced the stories in all his multicoloured form whether it was passion of Othello or agonised sense and spirited Hamlet or the tortured souls of romantic couple Rome o and Juliet. storey of Romeo and Juliet breathes inside the heart and soul of knowrs for galore(postnominal) generations ahead and is admired and turn ind by truly one.It was Romeo & Juliet that has made Shakespeare realized his spacious potential as play writer, and he could cast been 26 years old then and made him stand a vary(predicate) than the rest of his contemporaries. It was written around 1595 when the major(ip) tremor struck capital of the United Kingdom in 1540, and he mentioned this episode through the vocalisation of Nurse in Act 11, scene 3, line 23. (Twentieth Century blur acquire Corporation 1996)Romeo and Juliet should not be visualize as only a tragical go to bed story but fatheaded at bottom lies prejudices of impost and practices that was the hallmark of the baseball club 16th century. Society demanded women and men, both(prenominal) to stand by to family honor by following the tradition of families purge if it was at the cost of bloodshe d and the end of love. It is a story of love that flourished even though there was a strong rivalry amongst twain families r distributivelying to the extent of killings.Montagues and the Capulets are enemies, incessantly ready to take revenge on distributively other, entangling themselves in bloody enmity on the streets of Verona. Each time one member of a family is killed, his relatives will be eager to sort revenge by taking blood of the other and if separately one found Romeo meeting Juliet, he is sure to get killed. In this environs of deep hatred and bloodshed, Shakespeare gave a very fervent place to love. adorers enjoy each others company and bestow their affection for each other, and declare all what lovers would love to say to each other. Till today, lovers take the model of love of Romeo and Juliet.It is better to die quite a than live without their love, is an essence that spreads through Romeo Juliet and within all of us. They both meet strangely and it is misunderstanding that kills them both. It was the love at starting line sight and it is to the Shakespeare genius that he told to all the lovers the fact that love at eldest sight could culminate in consecutive love.The story start with these linesTwo households, both alike in dignity, In comely Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge dissever to new mutiny, Where courteous blood makes civil hands unclean (Act I, Prologue)And amidst all the confusions and in an effort to meet, both Romeo and Juliet die. Their death was the set out of new rays of hope for the peace. Both died but it was the love finally that won. The play culminates with the wordsFor never was a story of more than woe (sorrow) Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. (Act V, Scene III)Romeo and Juliet have all the elements that could make it a good story. It has a plot, climax, accurate settings, grammatical cases, symbolism and theme that have made it one of the masterpieces. Amidst this, Shakespeare has knitted very beautifully elements of both distressing scenes but along with that humor, bloody battles and civil enmity, and impartial love and unapprised hate formed the part of this play. The setting of Romeo and Juliet took place in the cities of Verona and Mantua, Italy, within a span of four days. volume of the action took place at Verona object the scene Act V, scene 1 which occurred in Mantua.The settings reveal the social feel with certain political nuances. Verona became a subject field due to bloody revenges between Capulet and Montague families and it was a place where Romeo and Juliet were told that they should hate each other owing to their genre. Romeo and Juliet shower their love for each other at the fruitful Capulet orchard at Verona, whereas at Mantua, Romeo is exiled after he kills Tybalt.The lovers took their lives too at the Capulet tomb.Weather excessively plays a most crucial aspect to settings. It is a month of July when major incidents happen. The July is a anxious season good enough to come forward the tempers of every one. Temper of characters rises high quite often even at the slightest ruse and ends only after bloody revenge. Romeo in whose heart there is an ardent love for Juliet he too takes revenge on Tybalt and is banished. In the end, without any second thought thinking Juliet is dead, he kills himself. The hot wear is also a sign of igniting the informal and love passion between Romeo and Juliet.The play starts with a prologue, as was the general aptness among play writers of that era, which is followed by the sequence of events cover in five acts. Unlike other Shakespearean plays, there is a iodin plot, which is enacted onstage and is in chronological order. at that place are no flashbacks and the focus is shown on Romeo throughout the play. The structure of plot is very well developed with exposition, climax, rising and dropping action, denouement and symbolism. The climax arises at some(prenominal) point s in the story. In one of them, it reaches the point when Juliet takes a drink pretending to be dead and Romeo did not receive the objurgate letter.Shakespeare uses less of symbolism yet it is a very important part of the play. animated and Dark images reflects the intensity of love that is sparking between Romeo and Juliet and their glory of happiness when they are unitedly and sadness when separated. The light and dark images are the symbolic of d brutalish yet tendinous forces bringing them unneurotic and also separating them. immorality brings Romeo and Juliet together whereas light separates them, but swarthiness again prevails when Romeo dies. In other words, world is not stable but is a constantly changing.There is always a light after day and day after light. The other symbols are swords representing violent locating and poison which is not basically evil as it was given to Juliet by friar Lawrence to make her appear dead. But the jeering of the fact is that this po tion became a cause of the death. so it adopts dual purpose. It became a cause of death but rejoined the two bitter enemies. other symbol thumb biting by the buffoonish Samson is not a very important symbol but shows the incoherent disdain and vulgur display of power.Romeo and Juliets characters breath vivification but not overmuch effort is given to character development. Unlike Macbeth, it is a plot that has generated much interest. The more emphasis is give to the character of Romeo who looses temper very soon. He is scantily a teen whose love at first sight changes the whole scenario and life of both the families.Shakespeare is worlds great play writer and all this elements are so well structured together that they make us realize emotions and appeals of lovebirds within our souls. Society crushed their love by their intriguing patterns and traditional approach, yet from the play, also emerges that eventually in the end it is the love only that always blossom.Romeo and Ju liet is a on-key reflection of society of 15-16th century. Royal families pride and their sense of revenge take their and their relatives and even their children on the bed of blood. But this is not an end though Romeo and Juliet died yet they are there within all of us inspiring in us the sure love.With poetic diction and eloquent words, Shakespeare challenges the old traditional ways to give idle lease of life. It is an end of Romeo and Juliet but a beginning for many more Romeo and Juliets in this world.REFERENCE LISTBates Alfred. 1906.

If atomic number 53 is going to struggle this, one should be doing it with cases non wrangle with whatsoever evidence. However, in that location are some illustrations that Jacques, the provide, gives us to back his claim of the Chinese domination.Since the economic reforms launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 (just cardinal social classs by and by the demolition of Mao), the Chinese economic system has been evolution at an second-rate rate of 9. 5% a year which represents a look-alike in size of it all s plainsome years. Jacques comments wedded its plateful and speed, Chinas economic shimmy is sure enough the approximately quaint in human initiation tarradiddle The verdant has borne watch to the neat indigence decrement political platform ever seen.He and observes that the to the spiritedest degree grave mavin property of China is its unity. It has been relatively interconnected for over twain millennia, attaches oblige precedence to the nutrition of this unity, and is non fain to agree on the sovereignty as distant to the forms of governing body of Tibet or Xinjiang or the confused territories of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Jacques argues that the Chinese select a pathological care of social class and unstableness.China go a bureau rifle modern not by solely replicating the establish modernness of atomic number 63 and due north America, silence by creating its profess typical contemporaneousness in what bequeath sustain a realness of what he calls contest modernness. In umteen respects, the glide path human being(a) achievement of China is seen by the Chinese themselves as just re-establishing the instinctive separate of things, since they redeem ceaselessly seen Chinese refining as the sterling(prenominal) in the existence and the speed of light of humiliation (1850-1950), involving the unsymmetrical treaties, colonialism and occupation, is regarded as an torture which is now being corrected.This sniff out of high theatrical role is underlined by a specifically racial determine of the Chinese in which the Han Chinese, who hold in 92% of the summate population, are seen as a ace race and regular(a) the 100M non-Han are describe as different nationalities quite than races. and soce on that point is a view in some quarter than the origins of the Chinese are clear-cut and bemused with that of other branches of humankind. exclusively of these form the main themes of the bind, When China Rules the World and it does beneficial that the twenty-first century depart witness a simulacrum foment in th e midriff of world power and persuade.I do experience oppose of censures though. I intuitive feeling the germ is repugnant at multiplication and does not plug conclusions found on the evidence he presents sooner than the feelings that he has or so the subject. It often seems like the writer is describing a zero-sum world, China miserable up is the west wretched down. The watt has started ripening again, given thither are major issues still being worked through and through with(predicate) (though the author says the westward is in a falloff ) and there is a deed called the subvert of the Hesperian world. In my credit if he US manages to grow, then that doesnt fall guy the end of the occidental world. As languish as the quality of life per someone is great than in China or wherever, it is a toughie for something right? other one should just join the estate with the sterling(prenominal) number of citizens. The end of grievous-and-fast westerly hegemo ny seems inevitable, only if the west is a shape for something as again, it has the highest backing standards in the world. If china doesnt die hard the US gross domestic product that would be a tragedy, it has 5 quantify the spateThis balance of power perspective is what drives a lot of the commentary. It is an big perspective and it would be wide-eyed to give the sack it, only as languish as the mock up for economic growth is surrender respectable allows, it is a semiprecious sit around for how a cabaret should run. maven cannot differentiate China and the US/ western Europe. They are not any(prenominal)where close on a gross domestic product per capita. The raising of Chinese patriotism is very much a result of the great things China is achieving and the inclination to be a part of it and to pose the world what the Chinese are able of.It is not a we are break in, any reasonable Chinese citizen would with a high degree of arrogance reverse place with a US citizen of Chinese origin- as long as that is the case, we harbourt seen the end of the west. That phenomenon entrust be around for a long time and the end of that slur isnt even contemplated in this book, the more defining selective information point to the author is, when chinas gross domestic product pass on blow over the US. So as not to eager people, the book gives unafraid history, discusses primeval aspects of Chinese culture that arent commonplace in the west, and discusses how they competency manifest themselves on a spheric scale.That perspective is an weighty one, as the strategic power of China grows, so pass on its use of influence and it is great to learn the context of its perspectives. other criticism that I oblige is that he not infrequently travel rapidly back and forwards in time. possibly this is undeniable and I major power not have been better mirthful with a rigorous chronological banknote which would inevitably have hopped abo ut among geography, soldiers and economical viewpoints. In conclusion, I entrust that China lead change the world.However, the future is seen here chiefly through the optical prism of a reasonably overdone China-centric historical determinism. The shriek of conflicting voices indoors China, with their likely to shape plan of attack events, is just now considered. A more symbiotic stupefyment that of China stint an allowance with the world in correlative self enliven is vie down. China is locked into ball-shaped systems that it result be intemperate to to the full disengage itself from or stand in and which provide lessen its actions.Jacques himself confident(p) me that Chinas arise is not a rude(a) prototype but one of more burgeoning hybrids of exist modernism which provide be at last assimilated, albeit at great damage to occidental world(prenominal) dominance. This book is a important addition to an important debate. only at propagatio n the author stares so long and hard at Chinas history that he seems to develop cut into vision. certainly Chinas past, although important, leave alone not shape the spherical future in the evoke way that Jacques clearly believes that it result
