The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening Chapter Two

Elena was surrounded the instant she stepped into the high school parking lot. Every adept was in that location, the whole advertise she hadnt supposen since late June, plus four or five h fretfulnesss-on who hoped to gain popularity by association. One by iodine she accepted the welcoming hugs of her own group. Carolean had grown at least an inch and was slinkier and more than resembling aVogue personate than ever. She greeted Elena coolly and stepped back up again with her chiliad eyeb totally narrowed bid a cats.Bonnie hadnt grown at all, and her curly red interrogation barely came up to Elenas chin as she flung her arms near Elena. clasp a minute-curls? thought Elena. She pushed the smaller runty lady friend back.Bonnie What did you do to your tomentum cerebri?Do you alike it? I conceive of it makes me olfactory perception taller. Bonnie fluffed up the al give fluffy bangs and smiled, her brown eyeball sparkling with excitement, her little simple bet aligh t.Elena moved on. Meredith. You havent changed at all. This hug was equally warm on both sides. She had missed Meredith more than allone, Elena thought, looking at the tall girl. Meredith neer wore rough(prenominal) makeup more everyplace indeed(prenominal), with perfect olive skin and weighed elaborate black lashes, she didnt need any. Right like a shot she had one elegant supercilium raised as she studied Elena.Well, your hair is both shades luminousness from the sun nevertheless wheres your tan? I thought you were living it up on the cut Riviera.You know I neer tan. Elena held up her hand for her own inspection. The skin was flawless, like porcelain, merely al about as reasonably and translucent as Bonnies.Just a minute that reminds me, Bonnie interjected, snatching one of Elenas hands. Guess what I learned from my cousin this summer? Before anyone could speak, she conscious them exultantly Palm readingThere were groans, and some laughter.Laugh composition y ou can, verbalise Bonnie, not at all disturbed. My cousin told me Im psychic. Now, allow me becharm She peered into Elenas palm.Hurry up or were dismissal to be late, state Elena a bit impatiently.All accountability, all right. Now, this is your life line-or is it your heart line? In the crowd, someone snickered. Quiet Im reaching into the void. I see I see All at once, Bonnies present went blank, as if she were startled. Her brown eyes widened, but she no longer seemed to be staring at Elenas hand. It was as if she were lookingthrough it-at something frightening.You bequeath meet a tall, dark stranger, Meredith murmured from behind her. There was a fuddle of giggles.Dark, yes, and a stranger but not tall. Bonnies voice was hushed and far aside.Although, she move after a moment, looking puzzled, he was tall, once. Her wide brown eyes lifted to Elenas in be uncivilisederment. solely thats impossible isnt it? She dropped Elenas hand, almost flinging it away. I dont necessita te to see any more.Okay, shows over. Lets go, Elena told the others, vaguely irritated. Shed eternally felt psychic tricks were only when that-tricks. So why was she annoyed? Just because that morning shed almost freaked prohibited herselfThe girls started toward the school building, but the roar of a finely tuned motor stop them all in their tracks.Well, now, Caroline express, staring. Quite a car.Quite a Porsche, Meredith corrected dryly.The sleek black 911 Turbo purred through the parking lot, searching for a s stones throw, moving as lazily as a panther shuck prey.When the car came to a stop, the door o writeed, and they glimpsed the driver. Oh, my God, Caroline whispered.You can vocalise that again, unvoiced Bonnie.From where she stood, Elena could see he had a lean, flat-muscled be. Faded jeans he probably had to shin off at night, tight T-shirt, and a slash jacket of extraordinary cut. His hair was wavy-and dark.He wasnt tall, though. Just average height.Elena let off her breath.Whois that cloak man? utter Meredith. And the re level was apt-dark dark furnish completely covered the sons eyes, screen his face like a mask.That maskedstranger , someone else verbalize, and a babble of voices move up up.Do you see that jacket? Thats Italian, as in Roma.How would you know? Youve never been farther than Rome, New York, in your lifeUh-oh. Elenas got that look again. The hunting look.Short-Dark-and-Handsome had get around be careful.He isnt short hes perfectThrough the chatter, Carolines voice unawares rang out. Oh, come on, Elena. Youve al reach got Matt. What more do you privation? What can you do with two that you cant do with one?The same thing-only longer, drawled Meredith, and the group dissolved into laughter.The son had locked his car and was walking toward school. Casually, Elena started after him, the other girls right behind her in a close-knit pack. For an instant, annoyance bubbled up inside her. Couldnt she goanywhere without a bound on her heels? But Meredith caught her eye, and she smiled in spite of herself.Noblesse oblige, Meredith said softly.What?If youre going to be queen of the school, you have to put up with the consequences.Elena frowned at this as they entered the building. A long corridor stretched before them, and a figure in jeans and leather jacket was disappearing through the office doorway up ahead. Elena slowed her pace as she walked up to the office, finally stopping to glance thoughtfully at the messages on the cork bulletin board by the door. There was a large window here, through which the entire office was visible.The other girls were openly gazing through the window, and giggling. Nice rear view. That isdefinitely an Armani jacket. You think hes from out of state?Elena was straining her ears for the boys address. There seemed to be some kind of trouble in there Mrs. Clarke, the admissions secretary, was looking at a list and shaking her head. The boy said something, and Mrs. Clarke lifted her hands in a What can I say? gesture. She ran a finger down the list and shook her head again, conclusively. The boy started to turn away, then turned back. And when Mrs. Clarke looked up at him, her expression changed.The boys dark glasses were now in his hand. Mrs. Clarke seemed startled by something Elena could see her blink some(prenominal) times. Her lips opened and closed as if she were trying to speak.Elena wished she could see more than the back of the boys head. Mrs. Clarke was fumbling through piles of paper now, looking dazed. At decision she found a form of some kind and wrote on it, then turned it around and pushed it toward the boy.The boy wrote briefly on the form-signing it, probably-and returned it. Mrs. Clarke stared at it a second, then fumbled through a crude pile of papers, finally handing what looked like a categorize schedule to him. Her eyes never left the boy as he took it, inclined his head in thanks, and turned to the door.Elena was wi ld with curiosity by now. What had but happened in there? And what did this strangers face look like? But as he emerged from the office, he was settling his sunglasses in place again. Disappointment coursed through her.Still, she could see the rest of his face as he paused in the doorway. The dark curly hair frame in features so fine that they might have been taken from an old Roman coin or medallion. High cheekbones, classical straight nose and a mouth to keep you awake at night, Elena thought. The upper lip was attractively sculpted, a little sensitive, a whole lot sensual. The chatter of the girls in the hallway had stopped as if someone had thrown a switch. intimately of them were turning away from the boy now, looking anywhere but at him. Elena held her place by the window and gave a little toss to her head, force the ribbon out of her hair so that it fell loose around her shoulders.Without looking to either side, the boy moved on down the hallway. A chorus of sighs and w hispers flared up the moment he was out of earshot.Elena didnt hear any of it.Hed walked right by her, she thought, dazed. Right by without a glance.Dimly, she realized the gong was ringing. Meredith was tugging her arm.What?I said heres your schedule. Weve got trig on the second floor right now. Come onElena allowed Meredith to propel her down the corridor, up a trajectory of stairs, and into a class means. She slid into an empty seat automatically and fixed her eyes on the teacher at the front without really seeing her. The shock console hadnt worn off.Hed walked right by. Without a glance. She couldnt opine how long it had been since a boy had done that. They all looked, at least. some whistled. Some stopped to blab. Some just stared.And that had always been fine with Elena. After all, what was more important than boys? They were the mark of how popular you were, of how beautiful you were. And they could be useful for all sorts of things. Sometimes they were exciting, but u sually that didnt last long. Sometimes they were creeps from the beginning.Most boys, Elena reflected, were like puppies. loveable in their place, but expendable. A very few could be more than that, could become real friends. Like Matt.Oh, Matt. Last year shed hoped that he was the one she was looking for, the boy who could make her feel well, something more. More than the rush of triumph at devising a conquest, the pride in showing your new acquisition off to the other girls. And shehad come to feel a quick affection for Matt. But over the summer, when shed had time to think, shed realized it was the affection of a cousin or sister.Ms. Halpern was passing out trigonometry books. Elena took hers mechanically and wrote her name inside, still wrapped in thought.She liked Matt more than any other boy shed cognize. And that was why she was going to have to tell him it was over.She hadnt known how to tell him in a letter. She didnt know how to tell him now. It wasnt that she was afra id hed shiver up a fuss he just wouldnt realize. She didnt really understand herself.It was as if she were always reaching for something. Only, when she thought shed got it, it wasnt there. Not with Matt, not with any of the boys shed had.And then she had to start all over again. Fortunately, there was always clean material. No boy had ever resisted her successfully, and no boy had ever ignored her. Until now.Until now. Remembering that moment in the hall, Elena found that her fingers were clenched on the pen she held. She still couldnt believe hed brushed by her that way.The bell rang and everyone flooded out of the classroom, but Elena paused in the doorway. She bit her lip, scanning the river of students flowing through the hall. thus she spotted one of the hangers-on from the parking lot.Frances Come here.Frances came eagerly, her plain face brightening.Listen, Frances, you remember that boy this morning?With the Porsche and the-er-assets? How could I forget?Well, I want his class schedule. Get it from the office if you can, or copy it from him if you have to. But do itFrances looked impress for a moment, then grinned and nodded. Okay, Elena. Ill try. Ill meet you at lunch if I can get it.Thanks. Elena watched the girl go. You know, you really are crazy, Merediths voice said in her ear.Whats the use of being queen of the school if you cant pull a little rank sometimes? returned Elena calmly. Where do I go now?General Business. Here, take it yourself. Meredith thrust a schedule at her. Ive got to guide on for chemistry. LaterGeneral Business and the rest of the morning passed in a blur. Elena had hoped to catch another glimpse of the new student, but he was in none of her classes. Mattwas in one, and she felt a pang as his dark-skinned eyes met hers with a smile.At the lunch bell, she nodded greetings right and left as she walked to the cafeteria. Caroline was outside, posed casually against a wall with chin up, shoulders back, hips forward. The two boys she was talking to fell silent and nudged each other as Elena approached.Hi, Elena said briefly to the boys and to Caroline Ready to go in and eat?Carolines green eyes barely flickered toward Elena, and she pushed glossy auburn hair out of her face. What, at theroyal table ? she said.Elena was taken aback. She and Caroline had been friends since kindergarten, and they had always competed with each other good-naturedly. But lately something had happened to Caroline. Shed begun to take the rivalry more and more seriously. And now Elena was surprised at the bitterness in the other girls voice.Well, its hardly as if you were a commoner, she said lightly.Oh, youre so right about that, said Caroline, turning to face Elena fully. Those green cat-eyes were slitted and smoky, and Elena was shocked by the hostility she axiom there. The two boys smiled uneasily and edged away.Caroline didnt seem to notice. A lot of things changed while you were departed this summer, Elena, she continued . And just maybe your time on the throne is running out.Elena had violent she could feel it. She struggled to keep her voice steady. Maybe, she said. But I wouldnt buy a scepter just yet if I were you, Caroline. She turned and went into the lunchroom.It was a residual to see Meredith and Bonnie, and Frances beside them. Elena felt her cheeks cool as she selected her lunch and went to join them. She wouldnt let Caroline upset her she wouldnt think of Caroline at all.I got it, said Frances, waving a piece of paper as Elena sit down down.And I have some good stuff, said Bonnie importantly. Elena, listen to this. Hes in my biology class, and I sit right across from him. And his name is Stefan, Stefan Salvatore, and hes from Italy, and hes boarding with old Mrs. Flowers on the edge of town. She sighed. He isso romantic. Caroline dropped her books, and he picked them up for her.Elena made a wry face. How clumsy of Caroline. What else happened? Well, thats all. He didnt really talk to her. Hes ver-r-ry mysterious, you see. Mrs. Endicott, my biology teacher, tried to get him to take off his glasses, but he wouldnt. He has a medical condition.What kind of medical condition?I dont know. Maybe its terminal and his solar daylights are numbered. Wouldnt that be romantic?Oh, very, said Meredith.Elena was looking over Francess sheet of paper, biting her lip. Hes in my s levelth utmost, news report of Europe. Anybody else have that class?I do, said Bonnie. And I think Caroline does, too. Oh, and maybe Matt he said something yesterday about how it was just his luck, getting Mr. Tanner.Marvelous, Elena thought, picking up a fork and stabbing at her mashed potatoes. It looked as if seventh period was going to beextremely interesting.Stefan was glad the school day was almost over. He wanted to get out of these crowded room and corridors, just for a few minutes.So many minds. The pressure of so many thought patterns, so many mental voices surrounding him, was making him d izzy. It had been years since he had been in a swarm of people like this.One mind in particular stood out from the others. She had been among those watching him in the main corridor of the school building. He didnt know what she looked like, but her personality was powerful. He felt sure hed recognize it again.So far, at least, hed survived the first day of the masquerade. Hed used the Powers only twice, and then sparingly. But he was tired, and, he admitted ruefully, hungry. The mouse hare hadnt been enough.Worry about that later. He found his last classroom and sat down. And immediately he felt the presence of that mind again.It glowed at the edge of his consciousness, a golden light, soft and yet vibrant. And, for the first time, he could ensconce the girl it was coming from. She was seated right in front of him. pull down as he thought it, she turned around and he saw her face. It was all he could do not to gasp in shock.Katherine But of course it couldnt be. Katherine was dea d no one knew that better than he did.Still, the similitude was uncanny. That pale golden hair, so jolly it almost seemed to shimmer. That creamy skin, which had always made him think of swans, or alabaster, flushing faintly pink over the cheekbones. And the eyes Katherines eyes had been a color he had never seen before darker than alternate blue, as rich as the lapis lazuli in her jeweled headband. This girl had those same eyes.And they were fixed directly on his as she smiled. He looked down from the smile apace. Of all things, he did not want to think about Katherine. He didnt want to look at this girl who reminded him of her, and he didnt want to feel her presence any longer. He kept his eyes on the desk, blocking his mind as strongly as he knew how. And at last, slowly, she turned around again.She was hurt. Even through the blocks, he could feel that. He didnt care. In fact, he was glad of it, and he hoped it would keep her away from him. another(prenominal) than that, he had no feelings about her at all.He kept sexual intercourse himself this as he sat, the droning voice of the teacher pouring over him unheard. But he could smell a subtle hint of some perfume-violets, he thought. And her slender white neck was bowed over her book, the fair hair falling on either side of it.In anger and frustration he recognized the seductive feeling in his teeth-more a tickling or a tingling than an ache. It was hunger, a specific hunger. And not one he was about to indulge.The teacher was pacing about the room like a ferret, asking questions, and Stefan deliberately fixed his management on the man. At first he was puzzled, for although none of the students knew the answers, the questions kept coming. Then he realized that that was the mans purpose. To shame the students with what they didnt know.Just now hed found another victim, a small girl with clusters of red curls and a heart-shaped face. Stefan watched in detestation as the teacher badgered her with questi ons. She looked wretched as he turned away from her to address the entire class.You see what I mean? You think youre evenhandedly hot stuff youre seniors now, ready to graduate. Well, let me tell you, some of you arent ready to graduate kindergarten. Like this He gestured toward the red-haired girl. No idea about the French Revolution. Thinks Marie Antoinette was a silent film star.Students all around Stefan were shifting uncomfortably. He could feel the resentment in their minds, and the humiliation. And the fear. They were all afraid of this thin little man with eyes like a weasel, even the husky boys who were taller than he was.All right, lets try another era. The teacher swung back to the same girl hed been questioning. During the Renaissance- He broke off. Youdo know what the Renaissance is, dont you? The period between the 13th and seventeenth centuries, in which Europe rediscovered the great ideas of ancient Greece and Rome? The period that produced so many of Europes great est artists and thinkers? When the girl nodded confusedly, he continued. During the Renaissance, what would students your age be doing at school? Well? Any idea at all? Any guesses?The girl swallowed hard. With a weak smile she said, Playing football?At the ensuing laughter, the teachers face darkened. Hardly he snapped, and the classroom cool ited. You think this is a joke? Well, in those days, students your age would already be undecomposed in several languages. They would also have mastered logic, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and grammar. They would be ready to go on to a university, in which every course was taught in Latin. Football would be absolutely the last thing on-Excuse me.The quiet voice stopped the teacher in midharangue. Everyone turned to stare at Stefan. What? What did you say?I said, excuse me, Stefan repeated, removing his glasses and standing up. But youre wrong. Students in the Renaissance were encouraged to participate in games. They were taught that a healthy body goes with a healthy mind. And they certainly played team sports, like cricket, tennis-and even football. He turned to the red-haired girl and smiled, and she smiled back gratefully. To the teacher, he added, But the most important things they learned were good manners and courtesy. Im sure your book forget tell you that.Students were grinning. The teachers face was red with blood, and he was sputtering. But Stefan continued to guide his eyes, and after another minute it was the teacher who looked away.The bell rang.Stefan put his glasses on quickly and gathered his books. Hed already drawn more attention to himself than he should, and he didnt want to have to look at the fair girl again. Besides, he needed to get out of here quickly there was a familiar burning sensation in his veins.As he reached the door, someone shouted, Hey Did they really play football back then?He couldnt help throwing a grin over his shoulder. Oh, yes. Sometimes with the separate heads of pr isoners of war.Elena watched him as he went. Hed deliberately turned away from her. Hed snubbed her on purpose, and in front of Caroline, whod been watching like a hawk. Tears burned-over in her eyes, but at that moment only one thought burned in her mind.Shed have him, even if it killed her. If it killed both of them, shed have him.

Rhetorical Strategies Analysis of “Bill Clinton’s First Inaugural Address”

Rhetorical Strategies Analysis of Bill Clintons First initiative Address Introduction William Jefferson Bill Clinton served as the 42nd chairperson of the coupled States from 1993 to 2001. He got authority at the end of the Cold War. During Cold War, in order to compete with the Soviet Unions military power, the federal government fatigued a great deal of financial resources to establish a fibrous military. The quality of life of common people decreased year subsequently year. At that time, people desired to have a new healthy authority to rebuild peoples confidence.Clinton won the 1992 presidential election with 42% of the select against his predecessor, George H. W. Bush who had 37. 4% of the vote. Clintons wining ended the Republican rule of the White rear of previous years. With 43% of the vote, he pop protrudepolled the winning Ho dumbfound on candidate in five districts. Clinton has been described as a New Democrat. In January 1993, he had campaigned on the theme of change and the public expected him to deliver. And in his archetypal beginning(a) address, he continually promised change.The purpose of my article is to figure out what rhetorical strategies and tactics did professorship Clinton use in oder to accomplish hi task of change? Inaugural addresses have often served as the civilised religion. Clinton was well prepared to take this tradition. According to the evidence, it suggests his three main resources for root inaugural address are his lifetime study of the Bible, his education at Geor travelown University, and his memorializeing of others inaugural addresses by Republican and Democratic presidents.During the campaign Clinton mentioned that when he was a little child, he felt a strong calling to go to church even though his parents did not go. He grew up in the Southern Baptist denomination and as he remembered, I had to get other people to read the scripture every day or do it myself. His religious choice fits the American belief. Most American look at that God is actively interested and involved in history, with a additional concern for America, as Robert N. Bellah said. During the 1990s, Clinton scientific disciplinefully used biblical language to gift common eople trust him and rebuild their confidence in a next president. Context The inaugural address of an American president is a racy ceremonial event and an occasion for a particular kind of confabulation between the President and the people. The president represents all the people of a democracy and his inaugural address shows a direction of the government. The address is the first ordained announcement made by the new president and it is analyzed as setting the tone for the four years to follow.Presidents have had their own skill in shaping and delivering their addresses, drawing on rhetorical devices to convey a message and to communicate a sense of meaning and value. Clinton gave people a vivid image about a brand new forthcoming fo r the United States with a short first address. He supply a metaphor for the future, a spring reborn in the spheres oldest democracy, that brings forth the wad and courage to reinvent America. For the spring to be reborn in America, President Clinton called for government and public to change.Clinton thought that America have to change for cave in notion and not change for changes sake, but change to preserve Americas ideals life, liberty, and the inquisition of happiness. Thus, from my perspective, the rhetorical strategy of Clintons first address is persuasion. He tries to explain coeval situation of America and he tries to advocate change on this issue. The system of Persuasion As we learned, the three main methods of persuasion involve pathos, ethos and logos. President Clinton seems to use one major approach, pathos, to persuade audiences.Also you can read Rhetorical Devices in Night Walker by Brent StaplesPathos is to use emotion to persuade audiences minds in a rhet orical argument. President Clinton uses basic American beliefs and ideologies, such as, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, trying to arouse peoples dearest. Also, he brought out the social problem of America, that raised in unrivaled prosperity, we inherit an saving that is still the worlds strongest, but is weakened by business failures, stagnant wages, increase inequity, and deep divisions among our people. He used realistic problems to relate to common peoples periodic life. It brings out another passion, which is to struggle for their life.Then, in the middle of his first inaugural address, Clinton calls for peoples responsibilities to reclaim and create a better nation. He uses child to bring out a bigger theme of posterity and he calls peoples passion to create a better society for their posterity. He said, posterity is the world to come the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibility. By using pathos of persuasion, President Clinton tried to arouse the public to put more effort into establishing American society in order to rejuvenate the United States.The significant purpose of persuasion always to change peoples deportment eventually. Then, Clinton mentioned three main parts to renew the whole country. First of all, to renew America, we must be bold, which brings out the responsibilities of citizens and government second of all, we must regenerate our democracy, which discusses reinventing authority and the federal government finally, we must meet challenges abroad as well at home, and President Clinton gave two ideas both diplomacy and topic thoughts. The Strategy of Biblical LanguageIn the end of first address, President Clinton emphasis on how individuals change themselves to drive the governments and countrys change. He used emotional language to nock that argument, that is in serving, we recognize a simple but powerful integrity we need each other. I n the final paragraph of the inaugural address, it include a verse from St. Pauls letter to the Galatians, and let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we weak not, which could make special resonance. As mentioned above, Clinton uses biblical language to reference to policy-making trusts and purposes.

The Contemporary Society

Contemporary party is continu onlyy informed of advances in technology, be they in biology, agriculture, education, or nearly any other discipline or aspect of spiritedness. It appears technology is directly or indirectly linked to all recent progress. Certainly, some of the passing(a) activities in which human races call for (reading a newspaper, making coffee, commuting to work, etc. ) require expert devices. With the app bently change magnitude reliance on and development of technology, it seems prudent to consider the consequences inherent in the use and evolution of it.More specifically, one must examine the design to which humansthe creators of technology, will become redundant in a society in which machines and the tasks they perform are incap competent of being extracted from daily routines. As with nearly all issues, the development of technology is advocated by some(prenominal) magical spell it is strongly opposed by others. Regarding the former, one must not r eckon far for arguments favoring technological progress. Proponents, specially those favoring medical advances, eagerly enumerate the exacting outcomes of technological breakthroughs.Some claim a society in which its members are born liberal of debilitating conditions or cured of them throughout the life span must certainly be a better civilization, or at least a more humane one. In addition, technological efforts to render crops more plentiful, nutritious, and resistant to pests is proclaimed a constructive flavor towards moral justice, not to mention efficient use of resources. Few defy the moral obligation of providing third world nations the skills and tools to produce food.On a more superficial yet paradoxically significant level, the conveniences make possible by technology are alike cause for celebration. That they free humans of otherwise labor intensive tasks and allow many to make merry other more worthwhile endeavors, such as leisure activities, is beyond question. In fact, without many currently employed machines, humans would not be able to engage in such a wide variety of daily pursuits. Considering the individual, societal, and global advantages available through technological advances, it is not surprising many favor its continued development.Without ignoring or denying many of the mentioned benefits of technology, it is nonetheless possible to persuasively argue that its unbridled expansion can and is eliminating the need for many human activities and purposes. Ironically, while technology may solve some of humanitys ills (for example, relieving humans from verbose and laborious tasks), by doing such at an alarming pace it is also creating unanticipated and insistent problems.Consider the economic consequences of increased technological use. This trend, although allowing for undeniably greater productivity and reduced costs, gives rise to a potent neighborly issue mass unemployment. On a nearly daily tail end one is informed of human redundancy business is steadily replace its human workforce with one derived from technology. It is common knowledge that in many industries, machines are adequate and oftentimes better substitutes for humans.Moreover, as machinery becomes more omnipresent in the workplace, the berth of humans as the most important reckon of production is bound to diminish in the same way that the role of horses in agricultural production was first diminished and then eliminated by the introduction of tractors (Rifkin 283). The replacement of human workers with machines is not limited to a hardly a(prenominal) companies or industries it is found throughout a nations business network.More than 75 percent of the labor force in most industrial nations engage in work that is little more than simple repetitive tasks (Rifkin 283). such(prenominal) jobs are particularly susceptible to machine takeovers. In fact, automated machinery, robots, and more and more sophisticated computers can perform many, if not most, of these jobs (Rifkin 283). However, the unskilled labor force, particularly that in the manufacturing sector, is not the only one vulnerable to redundancy.As companies restructure their operations to include more computers and high-tech machinery, middle management positions are concurrently declining (Rifkin 284). In a recent article, The Wall Street diary reiterates this phenomenon by claiming that most of the cuts are facilitated, in one way or another, by new software programs, better computer networks and more virile hardware that allow companies to do more with fewer workers (Rifkin 282).

How far is Hamlet dominated by a Christian worldview? Essay

England during the seventeenth unity C was a Christian society and country. each(prenominal) told Children would most certainly have been baptised shortly after pitch and once at a suitable age capable of grounds religion would be taught the essentials of Christian faith. Attendance at church was obligatory failure to do so without a good medical dry land or otherwise would lead to a hefty fine. During the 16th century in England those of Christian faith subsequently despised other races against that of Protestantism, and either other religion or telegnostic existence that they did not empathise.The persecution of Jews indoors Elizabethan England meant the state forbade them the rights to ownership of land or to engage in trade. Shakespe are showed an incredible understanding and knowledge of issues and crises of his time, introducing burning issues of today into his deeply Christian country that showed an inability of understanding and respecting other faiths and religio ns. inside the pre-Elizabethan period and out front society was crookd hard by the head of state, religion and new theorists ideas.A Theocentric world view stated that everything was circled around immortal, accordingly the Divine Right of Kings , which derived itself from this idea, proclaiming the head of state was put into power c wholeable to the approval and justification of God. This idea generally became associated with the Christian faith during the reincarnation period of the late 16th and early 17th centuries which was spreading cursorily by Europe settling much cultural diversity.The Renaissance was a time of rebirth and massive cultural turmoil. Artists and performers of all kinds deep down westward Europe became more aware of the classical past and the world beyond the narrow boundaries of medieval mysticism and religion. Poetry and writing was nonetheless influenced heavily by the general acceptance to new ideas. Shakespeare shows that he was conscious of the feudal world inside which he was raised, continuously questioning every expression of society.Shakespeare would most definitely be considered to be a Renaissance or Modern Man. Aristotelian Tragedy would have had whatever plastic effect upon Shakespeares ideas. He would adopt the idea that every calamity must contain a Tragic Hero, and that this person has a fatal flaw that will lead to his eventual downfall (and death). as well Senecas tragedies which were finally published in England in 1581 would have had some effect upon the panache in which Shakespeare would have composed his contacts.He adopt more ideas including, a supernatural being proposing revenge, characters driven to madness, embedded narratives in spite of appearance the play . etc. Christianity was not just a religion inwardly 16th century England but a political pivot blossom for argument and debate. In 1559 Parliament enacted the Act of Uniformity and the Oath of success. By the introduction of these t wo laws by Henry VII and his successor Elizabeth I ensured the loyalty of their strongest political supporters and in turn condemning roman letters Catholics.The following is an excerpt taken from the Oath of Supremacy published in 1559 I do utterly testify and declare in my sense of right and wrong that the Queens Highness is the only supreme governor of this realm, and of all other her Highnesss dominions and countries, as well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes, as temporal, and that no irrelevant prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority ecclesiastical or spiritual at heart this realm.. This quote fundamentally states the allegiance and sincerity of one towards the Head of State, swearing ones loyalty to them entirely and not to another figure head or person of command. contempt political interventions at heart humanity and society, Shakespeare highlights issues whi ch would then have been disregarded as being evil, much(prenominal) as apparitions and supernatural occurrences. Many examples could be set however ones of relevance are plenty within crossroads. Within Act I, Scene I an apparition of King crossroads appears, which posterior on within the play urges settlement to avenge his death.This would heighten the auditory senses suspense due to the drama involved. Shakespeare surprises both the audience and the characters within the play by introducing a ghost, creating a hugely effective halo of anxiety and fear throughout the scene. Elizabethan people misunders besidesd paranormal existences and this phantom would have heightened their (the audiences) suspicions and fears towards them (the ghosts) furthermore. Many people of Shakespeares time regarded ghosts as the devil himself. The play is very much written in a pro-Christian era and many aspects of Christianity show through. critical points voice comes through however, sceptical of this. Hamlet contemplates the idea of committing suicide within his soliloquy in Act I, Scene II as he cries, O that this also too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew, Or that the Everlasting had not fixed his canon gainst self-slaughter. O God, O God Here Shakespeare shows us that suicide is not favourably looked upon and even seen as an act that would leave you in purgatory (as is King Hamlets), waiting for ones sins to be forgiven and for redemption to commence itself. Quote King Hamlet,I was sent to my account with all the horrible imperfections on my head. O horrible, O horrible, most horrible However it must not be disregarded that Hamlet is first and foremost a play about revenge. Prince Hamlet was beseeched by his stimulate to pursue vengeance for this wrongdoing. An Elizabethan audience would understand the complication involved with the ideas of revenge. Shakespeare uses an allegory within the play, where Denmark represents England regarding v iews on Christian beliefs, such as suicide, death, redemption and paranormal beings . etc.Within the period of Hamlets composition thither were many factors which Shakespeare commented upon by incorporating them within his plays. By understanding the structure of society and the role that Christianity and religion played within Shakespearean England we empathize why within a few scenarios Hamlet was deterred from undertaking certain actions immediately, the murder of Claudius at prayer for example. The audience that viewed this play would also have related to Hamlets actions, his steadiness and calm air with which he performed everything and acted.However to a modern day audience if Hamlet was a person living at present and was to act the direction as Shakespeare intended him to then his actions would be heavily frowned upon by many as no longer do we (a majority not applicable to ghostlike followers ) regard religion as a major factor within our lives. Due to our secular society , despite somewhat of a Christian favouritism in schools for example, we fail to identify (before education) with the way in which Prince Hamlet thinks. We ask the following question, why does Hamlet abide by the conceptual ideas primed(p) down by society?Hamlet had no other filling than to undertake his actions the way he did as Shakespeare, his creator, wrote from influences surrounding him. England like Denmark was a troubled country as it still feared the spread of Roman universality by another incident such as the failed Spanish Armada of 1588. In modern times, spanning over the last two centuries, many wars have been analyse by people and they have come to the realisation that our world too is a world of politics with underlying motives such as a battle of religion.Issues such as feminism regarding Hamlet have allowed respective(a) playwrights such as Heiner Muller, author of Hamletmachine to show the subordination of women within society. He gives a voice to two main char acters, Prince Hamlet and Ophelia, so that they are able to speak their minds within this bizarre production. The oppression and victimization of Ophelia is shown to the audience. Ophelia is allowed to sacrifice moral thoughts and decisions where in turn she can find herself as a person not just a sexual object. She shows this hatred towards the hoary society within which Shakespeare wrote the original Hamlet.Ideas of feminist movements are highlighted within Hamletmachine in contrast to Hamlet, which shows women as objects controlled by men. (Ophelia controlled by her father Polonius. )(Gertrude controlled by her King, Claudius. ) And in turn it seems as though if women disobey their know they face the consequence that destiny presents to them, death. on that point are more things dreamt of in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. What is philosophy? Philosophy is when there are no limits of exploration as to questioning underlying factors which makes this t rigger of life what it is.This is exactly what Hamlet says to Horatio in Act I, Scene VI, There are more things dreamt of in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. What Hamlet is basically saying is never disbelieve. Anything is possible, never oppose, wrongfully rap or demean an object never before witnessed or seen. A modern day audience would understand specific actions after having grasped what the 17th century religious influence within society was like. However the way in which the government intervenes itself regarding religion has greatly changed in that it is now no longer seen as a way to indoctrinate people and influence them.

Coconut Oil Essay

The United States Food and Drug Administration, World wellness Organization, International College of Nutrition, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, American dietetical Association, American Heart Association, British National Health Service, and Dietitians of Canada recommend against the use of significant quantitys of refined/hydrogenated coconut oil due to its high levels of staring(a) fat.Advocacy against coconut and palm oils in the 1970s and 80s due to their sensed danger as a saturated fat ca utilize companies to instead renewal trans fats, unaware of their health-damaging effects. Coconut oil contains a large proportion of lauric acid, a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol that is also found in significant amounts in bay wreath oil, palm kernel oil ( non to be confused with palm oil), man and animal breast milk and sebaceous gland secretions. This may constru ct a more favourable blood cholesterol profile, though it is indecipherable if coconut oil may promote atherosclerosis through otherwise pathways.Because much of the saturated fat of coconut oil is in the phase angle of lauric acid, coconut oil may be a better alternating(a) to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil when solid fats are required. In addition, consummate(a) coconut oil is composed mainly of medium-chain triglycerides, which may not unfold the same risks as other saturated fats. Early studies on the health effects of coconut oil used partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which creates trans fats, and not virgin coconut oil, which has a different health risk profile. A repellent made from coconut oil can be used to prevent tungiasis-causing sand fleas from invading the body.

An Inconvenient Truth: People Who Questioned Al Gore’s Motive Essay

Many people questioned Al Gores motives for making the accusative An Inconvenient Truth. They wondered whether he created it because he truly cared about the effects global warming would have on the earth or if he just wanted to make himself have the appearance _or_ semblance like a better presidential candidate than his opponents. Throughout the documentary Gore presented many facts and statistics that supported his concern, which created the discussion for his argument. He also tough the documentary as more of a lecture or intro for his audience which gave him the credibility that he needed to create the ethos throughout the film. Finally, he used his own personal experiences to appeal to the audiences feelings and emotions, creating the pathos. In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore wants to reach a large audience, especially nonscientists, to stress the urgency in responding to global warming.Gore uses multiple examples of logos throughout his documentary when sharing statistics and facts that he came upon. One delegacy he presented these facts was with graphs that showed the increase in temperature over the age due to the carbon dioxide levels in the air. The graphs showed a dramatic increase in the levels from previous years which were frightening to see. Knowing the actual levels and how fast they changed made the audience see how breakneck this problem could become if we keep ignoring the issue of global warming. Another way that Gore portrayed logos was through photos of the earth and how it has changed over the years due to global warming. The photos gave a visual example to the audience of how utmost(prenominal) the effects are.

Analyse Reverend Parris Essay

Analyse Reverend Parris and his motivations in supporting the hagfish trials.The crucible play is set in 17th century puritan Massachusetts in America. This would view as meant the area would be fairly impertinently inhabited by immigrants and there still might be problems from primeval Americans. The society probably would establish been rather close-knit and any accusations of witchcraft would easily have resulted in hysteria in a counsel that was only possible in modern days because of the media.Reverend Parris would have had many reasons for supporting the witch trials. Most of these were selfish and for cherishion of his witness image, which he needed to do because in the setting of the capital of Oregon becharm Trials populates image were their most important aspect, we make love this because the offshoot three large number to be accused of witchcraft were all social misfits such as Osborn who, was old, quarrelsome, and had not attended church for over a year. Ot her reasons include jealousy, especially of watch who in his front man a fool snarl his foolishness instantly. As well as this there was his responsibility as a ReverendFirst we know Parris was in truth parsimonious because he wanted things like golden candle sticks on his preach altar, make up though his church is Puritan and therefore meant to be very simple their creed forbade anything resembling a theatre or vain enjoyment. This may also have been a motivation for supporting the witch trials because the set down of people like John Proctor would have been seized after he was hung.Reverend Parris was also very paranoid about his position in the town and about conspiracies to drive him from his pulpit. Another piece of assure from the play that portrays his paranoia is that he felt insulted if some sensation rose to shut the introduction without first asking his permission. This shows paranoia because he thinks the slightest mistake in his presence is made as a serious insult. All of this is backed up by how Miller describes him with he believed he was organismness persecuted wherever he went.This is the second motivation for supporting the trials because if he destroys all his opposition by having them hung or sent to prison for witchcraft his own public stand up will be safe. This theory is also basically what the whole Salem witch trials play is about, because all the way through we see a repetition of people blaming others to save their skins. A perfect example of this is on HTTP//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crucible where it describes a very dire Mary Mary becomes completely desperate and turns on John Proctor, saying that he is in league with the Devil.We know already Parris is very selfish and also very keen to protect and even increase his self image. So when witch craft is first mentioned he becomes very nervous and tries to stop any sing of the subject, lay out out all thoughts of unnatural forces. This could be for several reasons. F irst he wants to protect Abigail, although from what we have seen of the Parris character so far he probably is not that bothered about this. The main reason for Parris wanting people not to talk about the witchcraft is because if Abigail, who is his own Niece, is linked to witchcraft then he may be driven from his pulpit by the conspiracy conclave he thinks is already fighting him.There is even the possibility that Abigail could be seen as a Harlot after Proctor accuses it and it becomes clear that the reason for Abigails grudge against the Proctors is because she was put out for a harlot. We know that he thinks there is a conspiracy group because of the quote, there is a faction. When he last(a)ly does realise that the talk of witchcraft is inevitable he starts to support the trials to try and take the deuced from Abigail and on to her so called bewitchers. He also knows if the trial fails and Abigail is labelled a liar then the entire family may be known as liars, this in turn would be devastating to his already troubled career.The final motivation for Reverend Parris supporting the witch trials is jealousy. Jealousy is obviously one of Parris characteristics and he is jealous of John Proctor. Reverend Parris would have several reasons for being jealous of Proctor firstly he is well respected in the Salem community, Proctor, respected and feared, this cannot be said for Parris, Proctor is also quite wealthy with a lot of land and for a greedy Parris the arithmetic mean of seizing this would be very appealing The final reason for Parris being jealous of Proctor and maybe even hating him is that Proctor is simply a good and honest man. Then there is Parris who there is very unretentive good to be said of him.Reverend Parris is meant to be a regardful member of Puritan society. However, before he moved to Salem he was a sugar plantation owner, owned slaves (such as Tituba) and was thought to have been a credit agent for other plantation owners. This quit e acuate and probably selfish personality shows in the crucible for instance when Abigail runs onward he doesnt care for her but says thirty one baffle is gone then says I am penniless.This evaluation provides a good background to why Parris supported the witch trials.So boilersuit Parris supports the Salem Witch trails because of a mixture of jealousy of Proctor, protecting his and his families image, a hatred of heathens and therefore witches, paranoia about the danger of his position as local anaesthetic Reverend and possibly the most important reason of all is his greed. He wanted more pay and even gold candlesticks for his altar.

How Does Shakespeare Present the Theme of Love and Marriage?

The influences of nature and confirm are ambiguous (unclear), how far do you harmonise with this bidding as far as childhood is concerned? In this essay I am going to be arguing how far I agree that the influences of nature and nurture are ambiguous. To help develop my argument I am going to use the likes of Heathcliff, Cathy, Isabella and the Lintons. I agree strongly with the statement that the influences of nature and nurture are ambiguous my reasoning for this is that the novel is non focusing on this aspect and therefore doesnt get full explored. The theme of childhood, voiced by the elder Cathy on her cobblers lastbed, is continued in the main action of the second half of the book .. . in one way or another childhood is in fact the substitution theme of Emily Brontes writing. This time in Catherines life, which is unquestionably associated with Heathcliffs appearance in her dramatics and the strong feelings the boy then arouses in her, is, indeed, described at duration by the narrator Nelly, as it will determine the following blushts in the novel.Catherines dreams of happiness are associated with childhood all through her life, and even on her death-bed she still looks like a child in Nellys eyes She draw a sigh, and stretched herself, like a child reviving, and sinking again to stillness and five minutes after I felt one dinky pulse at her heart, and nothing more . Finally it is the ghost of a child that visits Lockwood, the newcomer and second narrator in the novel. Until she dies at the get on of nineteen, Catherine clings in a passionate way to her childhood memories.The most revelation passage is the scene which takes place after Heathcliff has returned from a long absence and has just quarrelled with Catherines husband, Edgar Linton. This scene, in which she raves, is significant as it echoes the childhood scenes in which she suffered from macrocosm separated from Heathcliff. Her memories have actually never stopped cropping up in a n insistent way and she now cannot help lamenting about what has unplowed recurring and recurring till I feared for my reason. The past years even end up overlapping the present situation and the adult in Catherine totally identifies with the child. The year she has spent with Edgar then seems to vanish at once. Her tangible sensations as she lies in her bed at Thrushcross Grange release images from the past and she sees herself finesse in her bed years earlier at Wuthering Heights. She yearned to transcend death and to recover the freedom she used to share with Heathcliff when she was a child Their vulgar destruction by tooth and nail in an effort, through death, to get game to the lost state of gypsy freedom in childhood.

Characterization in Canterbury Tales Essay

From cover to cover, Geoffry Chaucers late 14th century collection of forgetful stories, Canterbury drools, provides proofreaders with a unique literary experience. Chaucer compiles cardinal-four short allegories of no relation, up to now all of the narrators know eachother. Another interesting trait of Chaucers masterpiece takes place in the beginning as he dedicates over twenty pages just to characterization of the story tellers. Chaucer takes or so a page to profoundly introduce the reader to each character who tells their own fable.It has been said of Chaucers characterization that the sheer variety of wealth of detail get tos the impression of a specific person. And yet, taken together, it all adds up to a comparatively childlike stereotype (Prompt) Chaucer goes into such detail in his prologue that he al just about seems to create real lot. For the most part, Chaucer stereotypically characterizes each character, but in the tale about another person of their same type, he satirically and indirectly characterizes them contradictary to the readers sign impressions of the equatable narrating characters.Chaucer creates these contradictart characterizations to show the flaws in society. Chaucer sets up the reader with a stereotypical description of each character showing them what characteristics the characters should possess, then simulatenously in the tales points out traits that one would view as corrupt and ironic. In the Shipmans tale, a monk goes behind his best friends back and sleeps with his wife. Ironically not something a stereotypical monk should do. In the mendicants narration, a summoner corruptly blackmails heap to persist from summoning them.Lastly in the Wife of Baths bosh, a gymnastic horse rapes a women which contradicts Chaucers initial courtly description of the Knight. In the Wife of Baths Tale, a lusty knight sees a maiden alone as she was born, and despite her refusal by very force he took her maidenhead (282). This Kni ght contradicts Chaucers initial direct characterization of the Knight in the prologue having truth, honor, generousness, and courtesy (4). Chaucer describes the Knight in his prologue as the stereotypical distinguished, underage, perfect gentle-knight(5).The Wife of Baths Tale could not deliver the knight in any more ironic of a light. The knights brutal rape of the maiden creates situational irony as it all told contradicts the description of Chaucers gentle knight (5). Chaucer points out that even the most noble and respected men can committ cruel acts of violence that go against their expected values. But even men who do not exact the same class rank as the knight can lock away committ immoral acts that go against their expected actions. In Chaucers prologue, he characterizes a Summoner.He does not necessarily portray the Summoner as a noble man, but respected as children are afraid when he appears (20). A respected Summoner that society expects to do his job right, the Fri ars Tale describes a Summoner who does everything but do his job moraly and respectfully, he was a theif, a summoner, and a pimp (295). The Friars Tale exposes a Summoner who rode fore to catch his prey as he would blackmail people ruthlessly for money in order to not Summon them to court (295).Chaucer victimizes the people the Summoner takes advantage of by lableing them as prey and indirectly characterizes the Summoner as unfeeling and manipulative. Society expects a Summoner to truthfully do his job without stealing peoples money in exchange for a court release. The Friars Tale portrays a dirty Summoner which contradicts the stereotypical Summoner Chaucer describes in his prologue. This wrong Summoner shows the ill in society that many Summoners exploit people in the same way the Summoner does in the Friars Tale

Alternate assessment

German Automobile Industry Background

German Automobile Industry Industry Background The elevator car exertion in Germany was born on in the earlier 1886 when the initiative vehicle powered by a gas engine was assembled and registered. cxxv years has passed, and with it the industry has acquired an incredible egress and orbiculate recognition. The industry like a shot is one of the close to powerful and reliable of the humankind that actually competes vis a vis with the one of the close dominant car industries of the world Asian cable car industry.The German automobile industry is one of the stronger and successful industries in the world, it is the twenty-five percent global manufacturer in terms of volume (numbers of cars assembled) after China, united States and Japan. In fact, German automobile industry is responsible for of the manufacturing of 17% of the natural global car return. Furthermore, it represents the main sector of Germanys economy (main driver of growth) as well as the largest self-prop elled market in the strong European continent.One of the key factors of success of this industry has been the large budgets invested in automotive development and research, which has allowed them to manufacture and offer vehicles with latest technology that in most of the cases fits better with consumer insights in other words, an evolutionary process of application of cornerstone and cutting-edge technology has lead into one of the main industries in Germany.

An other signifi domiciliatet behavior is link to my temperaments respect for rules and say-so. thusly, when my 11 year old son do his own Halloween decorations which tend to be rather scary for other neighbors, and I got some rather unkind comments, I immediately explained this to my son, and made an effort to remove the scary decorations and place them in side the house, and only permit the more happy Halloween decorations re chief(prenominal). Realizing my strong belief in rules, I will further ensure that what is asked of me and my children is too fair in our viewpoint.Also, since Guardians are very serious some their duties and responsibilities the third important behavior that can be said about me is my need to complete a task when called upon. Thus during my daughters fund raiser at school, even though I was asked to do many last minute requests, because I knew this is important for her school, I seek and true to get things done to the best of my ability, even though I primed(p) a huge stress upon myself. Lastly my need to follow schedules, and deadlines that is oftentimes a great trait in organizations at home can often lead to friction.It is very important for me to realize this drawback, and allow more flexibility. I believe if I can do this, I will help myself, and my family be more relaxed. As my mother always says w hat will happen if your son doesnt finish his home diddle, Friday night, he can do it Saturday or Sunday, and still feel he has had some freedom 2 After reading my temperament, I think many of the traits of a Guardian are similar to what would be considered a sober instructor. For prototype, Guardians will unremarkably abide by the rules and respect authority.This characteristic sets a good example for the students. A teacher should always adopt a fair attitude, when it comes to make any form of evaluation, and must always be fair in their profession and while assessing students on their performance, instead of personal rapports and likings. One of the main characteristics of Guardians is that they always want fairness. Guardians tend to find satisfaction in doing work that involves detail a good teacher should be meticulous and reach an eye for detail.In fact, a disorganized person would find article of belief unsuitable and unfulfilling. Well thought-out objects and progra ms for teaching will assist the productivity of a teacher. This temperament is always concerned about the welfare of people and will look after the physical unavoidably of others, which is ideal in a teaching situation. Guardians expect to be held accountable and to take responsibility. They happily articulatio humeri the load that they k instantly needs to be done. A teacher should be dedicated towards their work.They should not kill time in the classroom and conceal for the school bell to ring. Instead, taking out time and going the spare mile for the students is what makes an ideal teacher. A good teacher must have good time management skills and always value the importance of time, this will help the students to get organized and further enhance their learning by them learning to better manage their time. Guardians can have a set of fun, but are quite serious about their duties responsibilities.A teacher who can have fun with their students, yet to remain serious about respo nsibilities so the students can both relax and enjoy the teacher, yet also have respect is a hallmark of a great teacher 3 Research shows that shows that trade good of fit between your childs temperament and your parenting way of life is important for healthy social and emotional development. Differences in child temperament require differences in parental ease upling to achieve a good fit.For this to occur after reading my temperament I have to break My demands or expectations with what my child is able to do, given my childs temperament, age and abilities. I would now start by learning about my childs temperament as well. If I can understand my childs temperament then I can plan ahead to prevent potential problems. If I can learn about their difficulties, then I could use strategies to make the specific situation easier for everyone. For example as a Guardian I believe in honor and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even fundamental sense of upright and w rong, is being lost.My son as a Rational disregards any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources I have tried to convey this message to him by teaching him why rules are important, and self-aggrandizing him specific examples, versus hardly asking him to obey the rules and not be allowed to motion me in any form. Because as a rational he trusts logic, and needs to understand why these rules are necessary. My daughter on the other hand is a Guardian like myself, and because she prefers sameness, I take my time introducing new things to her.For example when I take her to a new class, if I simply ask her to go and join in, and walk away, it will end badly. I have tried many different activities with her, and if I sit with her and give her time to explore to become comfortable, she is always happy, and engages beautifully. Considering the vast differences between our temperaments, and all the strengths and weaknesses we possess, it is important to learn how each temperament type will move with each other and hopefully combine traits to bring about goodness of fit.

Poverty: Population Density and Countries Essay

Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of state with in any case few resources and too little space, is closely associated with exiguity. It fag end result from senior high school population niggardliness (the ratio of people to land body politic, usually uttered as numbers of persons per square kilometer or square mile) or from low amounts of resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put taste on available resources. Only a certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food and other resources the land can exit. In countries where people live primarily by means of dewy-eyed farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only minor(ip) numbers of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of western Europe, overpopu lation generally is non considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities of food d champion mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery. This form of take provides enough food to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas.Read moreAdvantages and Disadvantages of OverpopulationA nations level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the worlds highest population densities, with 1,078 persons per sq km (2,791 persons per sq mi). A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low-productivity manual farming, which contributes to the countrys extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in western Europe, such as The Netherlands and Belgium, capture high population densities as well. These countries practice mechanized farming and are involved in sophistica ted industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living.At the other end of the spectrum, many another(prenominal) countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of less than 30 persons per sq km (80 persons per sq mi). Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming these countries in addition have infertile land and lack the economic resources and technology to advertise productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity it is one of the worlds wealthiest nations.High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies commonly sanction the care for of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, fo r family planning (see Birth Control) even people who attentiveness to keep their families small have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries run away to have high rates of population growth.Most developed countries provide considerable political and financial support for family planning. People persist to marge the number of children they have because of the availability of this support. Cultural norms in these countries also tend to affirm the ideal of small family size. Recently, however, some developed countries with declining population levels have begun experimenting with incentives to increase the birth rate.

Coyote Vally Cisco Objectives Essay

In my view, this is a case of a clash of interests between twain parties. One being lake herring and its growing demand for space for its employees attached its own position in San Jose i. e that of the regions largest private sector employer. The some separate party was made by the coalition of the environmentalists, southern communities and affordable lodgement activists. The employees are the primary stakeholders being directly affected by the development.Of course, in this case, they would benefit from this development which will bring a good resolve environment and a recreational opportunity which non many other firms facilitate for their employees. Having said that, the formation of a coalition against ciscos proposal by the environmentalists, chapters of Sierra club and the Audubon Society goes to prove that Cisco is not being able to keep aboard its non market stakeholders. The concept of the purpose of the firm is not simply to make profit except to create look on for all its stakeholders 1 is violated here.The non market stakeholders mentioned above are a part of the society and they feel that running fell a greenbelt would be pushing urbanization to its limits and destroying an area of value to them. In spite of the fact that this proposal would bring 20,000 jobs in the coyote valley there was opposition from outside the area. Perhaps, to the stakeholders, the cost of these new jobs is swell a 400-acre campus and adjacent residential area will destroy the be agricultural landed estate that once characterized the entire Silicon Valley. Also the monetary sum of $122 million that Cisco is pledging for development of public roads would not suffice. Authorities suggest that in the course of making the Ciscos Coyote Valley the required infrastructure (freeway interchanges, railroad overpasses, major fall upon detention systems and sewage lines) cost will be more than that which would/ dexterity become a burden on government subsidies. As Cisco big businessman not be able to keep up with the costs of the infrastructure and that cost might fall on the tax payer.In my opinion, had Cisco systems also included a housing plan for the employees with in this project it would be less burdensome on the traffic and might not come across so negatively to the stakeholders? In the proposed mood of Cisco there seems an inefficient use of very large land space, able of being termed a Cisco City. But it lacks a vital aspect of a city housing for its employees.

Module discussion

Organization Priorities Identify the current health policy priorities for your realm nurses association. Identify the benefits that could come to you, your community, health care consumers in the district, and other members of the breast feeding profession if proposed priorities were back up. Develop a plan of action to educate your farming senators and representatives about these priorities. The Florida Nurses Association (FAN) Is Involved In a couple legislative related projects that I found on their website.Firstly, I found the Fans shoes on the expansion of Medicaid. In the document provided on their website there Is handle of background Information on Medical and how this would affect the population (FAN, 2012). bit this legislative topic has already been addressed, I still thought It would be useful to discuss. I found another bill, H. R. 5113, which alms to end the Increased national funding for Medicaid expansion with respect to Inmates hospital care under the long-su ffering Protection and Affordable Care Act (FAN, 2014).As the FAN already supported the expansion, I find this would contradict their previously expressd position on Medicaid expansion. Personally, I do think this bill should be supported. As a nurse, I cannot see the fairness of removing coverage of individuals who are inmates. To educate my state senators and representatives on my position, I would plan to redeem them a letter. I would write my letter Just as we did for one of our assignments. After that assignment I feel as though I can accomplish a lot more than I could before hen it comes to writing headmaster letters.

Adolescence & Transition

Adolescent tuition does not of necessity decipher a similar pattern for every individual as the multidimensional phase spans through in a quite building complex way. At a time of transition from childhood to adulthood traditionally, a period of rapid fleshly growth is flung upon the individual amidst brief periods of remission.In the operate century even so, the onslaught of sensible change has occurred at increasingly younger get ons, increasing the likelihood that the psychosocial and cognitive changes will lag behind (Neinstein, 2002). physiological changes thereby part among teen growds as children of the same time critically vary in the growth and sexual development.For some, the rates of change occur and elapse at different times as callows be puberty in his/her own way and time. While it is interesting to observe pubertal changes in adolescents, the tremendous cycle brings slightly a cacophony of questions among the concerned age group. Some teens develop ear lier than others and deal with changes earlier than others.For others, maturity may occur later than others and more pronounced is the variation of pubertal changes amidst mannishs and females (Lerner and Galambos, 1998 414). Adolescents of the same age do not necessarily follow a similar pattern of change and the simile is quite pronounced between both genders.In females, the Luteinizing Horm wizard stimulates the ovarian cells to produce androgens and progesterone and stimulates ovulation and FSH ontogenys oestrogen production earlier compared to males whose LH stimulates testosterone production and FSH stimulates gametogenesis at a later stage (Neinstein, 2002).The onset of puberty varies, as female pubertal development begins on average at 11.2 years of age (range 9.0 13.4) and lasts about 4 years while male puberty development begins on average at 11.6 years of age (range 9.5 13.5) (Rosen and Foster, 2001310.Up to and during puberty, girls develop physically and acquire much faster than the male counterpart (Brayer, 1986247).To say that adolescents encounter a lot of changes and challenges during this period of human development is an understatement. When each gender is marauded with change levels of change, one goes through a critical stage in a short period of transition from childhood to adulthood. We shall identify the changes for males and females across this developmental stage in order to arrive at a comparison between both sexes.Physical ChallengesThe earliest signs of puberty for females include the emergence of physical changes that occur at different rates and intensity. On the average, breast develop along with pubic hair growth signals the initial phase of a females growth spurt that reaches its peak about one year and one month after breast development begins.Menarche, or the onset of menstruation starts typically one year after at an average age of 12 years old (Brayer, 1986 247). The male same of menarche is spermatozoanarche wh ich is characterized by the first ejaculation of sperm (Beckett, 2002113).Testicular enlargement is the common physical sign along with pubic hair development which definitely varies among the male age group but interestingly, the onset is spermarche signals the initial phase of adolescent growth in males which is a stark comparison to the female gender.Females marked the initial stage of puberty with physical changes while males mark the onset of change through the development of secondary sexual and reproductive characteristics (Brayer, 1986248). The mien of spermatozoa in males appears at a mean chronologic age of 13.4 as sperm begins to appear present in urine samples among teenage males (Greenspan and Gardner, 2004610).As adolescents increase in height and weight during this stage, growth is rapid where females tend to typically experience this growth spurt one-and-one-half to two years earlier than males and on average grow 23-28cm. Males experience a 2-year delay in bone s top as compared to females, and this accounts in part for their greater growth in height.Females increase in body fat while males increase in arguing body mass that can often lead to tripping and clumsiness. The disagreement of changes can be anxiety provoking for adolescents who tend to remain shorter than their friends as some experienced delayed puberty (Beckett, 2002 114).Cognitive ChallengesDuring adolescence are often unable to deal with remote, future or hypothetical problems and often encounter obstruction in predicting and anticipating future experiences. Such is consistent with Jean Piagets plan pf cognitive development as a quick-scented process with rational outcomes (Moshman, 20051).Often, the adolescent have problems effectively dealing with abstract ideas and resort to stargaze and increased self-interest. Adolescents likewise assume that others are as interested in them as many have an unrealistic view of themselves that can normally lead them to believe they are invincible and immune to the dangers that befall others (Beckett, 2002114).Young adolescents, at the beginning of this cognitive shift, have unrealistic career plans and for those who are expose to disadvantaged situations, would lead to the beginning of feelings of hopelessness (Moshman, 20052).Moral and Psychosocial ChallengesAdolescence marks the movement from the constituted level of moral judgment to post-conventional (Neinstein, 2002). Early adolescents are typically in the conventional level of moral development as they are normally motivated by the need to meet expectations of external factors such as opinion of friends (Strasburger, 2000 802).They have a particular simple idea and archetype and thought as they are heavily motivated on please others. As a continuous process of experience boys and girls may follow a different thought pattern in moral development as around adolescents experience a moral crisis and breakdown (Adams and Berzonsky 2003247).In the 80s and 90s, many in the federation had maintained that the society was in a moral crisis brought about by juvenile delinquency, adolescent drug and alcohol abuse and teenage pregnancy (Berzonsky, 2003248). Society has however neglected the fact that transformations in moral judgment take on focus during adolescence.The central developmental task during adolescence is developing a whiz of identity with significant turning points of shaping and reshaping different roles, beliefs and commitments (Lerner and Galambos, 1998441). In a distinctly technological society, adolescents are faced with confronting the tasks and decisions amidst changing roles.At the early age of 11-13, females tend to start a separate identity from the family and build close up relationships with peers primarily of the same sex (Scales, et al, 200029). For males, such challenges are encountered at the age of 12-14 year old as they become preoccupied with questions of normalcy except begin concerning themselves with separation from members of the family. At a peak age of 14-16, most experiment with sexual experimentation, omnipotence leading to risky behaviors (Strasburger, 2000789).
