Rizal and the World at the Time

Jose Mercado â€Å"Rizal† lived in a time that had quite the background. Globally, slaves were getting freed, powers were rising, powers were declining. Locally, it was more oppression and religious brainwashing than progression. How could these events influence Rizal? Of course, being an individual of high intellect, how could he not? You have to imagine what Rizal could see and learn around him at that time. He was one of the few who were that of a well-to-do family.This meant that he could attend school and receive education. He read books when he wanted, he learned history and philosophy, and many others that when combined with a brilliant mind, could see things more objectively without being clouded by passion. If he could take an objective stand on situations and yet as reflected in his works, be passionate about them, then that means that his passion is backed up by something objective. The whole world was entering a time that respected the rights of the human being.Sla ves were being freed and because of this, a lot of human rights laws were being made. At the same time, the world’s powers were expanding and decreasing at the same time. Locally, news of oppression spread. These things give you a good idea why Rizal took his stand against the rebellion as he did. The oppression around him was definitely not acceptable in the eyes of Rizal because human rights were being spread around the world by the intellectuals of North America and backed up by the actions of Russia.But Rizal knew that the Philippines definitely cannot hold itself as a country yet. He’s a smart guy and with that he probably looked up the history of war and what was needed to have strength as a country. If one were to look at the circumstances of the country with just the country in your sights, you would have taken the route of a Katipunero and decided to wage war against the oppressors. Rizal didn’t. Why?This is because he had the circumstances of the whole world to back up his ideals. He was influenced by the events globally and not just locally. He was an intellectual who was influenced by the works during and before his time. He thought of the welfare of the country in the long run and not just the shortest way out. It’s too bad he had to die as he did. He definitely would have come up with a revolution that would have put the Philippines in a better state than it is now.

Denotation of the Word “Character”

According to Webster's dictionary, character is defined as: a person in a play or novel; distinctive trait; behavior typical of a person or group; moral strength; reputation; status; individual being†. It is this last denotation of the word â€Å"Character† that this chapter deals with: the concept of â€Å"individuality† or â€Å"individual being† and how that in turn builds a person i.e. the Self. This chapter focuses on the strong characteristics possessed by Blanche Haggard and Princess Sasha from Absent in the Spring and Grannie and Peter Maitland from Unfinished Portrait to study the aspect of the Self which builds. A person's individuality can come out through various positive aspects but this chapter analytically studies the characters under four major aspects of self-actualization, the striving towards health, the quest for identity and autonomy, the yearning for excellence by finding success in their own terms rather than being defined by the society. There's so much more to creating a real character than choosing physical attributes and personality traits. The most memorable characters stay in the reader's mind because they have touched the emotions of the reader and become real people. While molding such a character, the author never stops at the stereotypical basics- but goes a step ahead. That is exactly what Christie has done to her characters chosen for this study. These characters do not fall under the general standard which the reader can so often predict or expect. The first character, Blanche Haggard stands as an analogy to strengthen the claim that the Self is built as by way of finding success in one's own terms rather than being defined by the society. Blanche Haggard, Joan's old school friend whom she hasn't seen for over 15 years, is a well-bred, high-spirited woman, who has changed a lot over the years. Joan looks at Blanche as someone who has had a pathetic life. However, Joan's perspective of Blanche is biased. This also highlights the fact that not all narrations are â€Å"likeable† or honest. In the case of Blanche Haggard, her true character is revealed from a little bit of truth from Joan's perspective but mostly through her own dialogues. Joan's way of looking at Blanche is always with the adjective â€Å"Poor† as a prefix to her name, which is a false notion that she has painted of Blanche. In her personal prayers that night after her encounter with Blanche, Joan prays, â€Å"God-thank thee-poor Blanche-thank thee that I am not like that- great mercies- all my blessings- especially not like Poor Blanche- Poor Blanche-really dreadful-all her own fault- of course dreadful- quite a shock- thank God- I am different- Poor Blanche† Blanche, however, is an optimist. She has had three husbands, and married to the fourth at present. She is seen to be someone who takes life as it comes, learns to let go and accepts what's negatively thrown at her and use it as a stepping stone to build her Self. To further prove this, one can observe that throughout her dialogue with Joan, Blanche's confidence is something that constantly comes to the forefront. According to Joan, Blanche presented a deplorable appearance but Blanche does not seem to mind. To her, external appearances don't matter for she has defined success in her own terms. To her, an attractive appearance is the least of her worries for she has a man who loves her for who she is and if he doesn't (in the case of her previous marriages) she moves on and doesn't dwell in the shambles of a broken relationship. Her looks needn't affect her anymore, for to her, success is living a happy life. She says from experience,â€Å"Oh well, that's the way of the world. You quit when you ought to stick, and you take on a thing that you'd better leave alone; one minute life's so lovely you can hardly believe it's true – and immediately after that you're going through a hell of misery and suffering! When things are going well you think they'll last forever- and they never do- and when you're down under you think you'll never come up and breathe again. That's what life is, isn't it?†It is quite evident that Blanche says this out of familiarity. She starts by saying that this is the way of world for she has been through the many ups and downs in life. She had quit once, but fought back up to her feet, started to let of go of things that hurt her if she kept holding on to them (her broken marriages for instance). She describes how people picture life to be perfect and blissful only to be faced by hardship and suffering that makes them hit rock bottom. This shows that Blanche is someone who isn't afraid of reality. She faces the actuality of her life and doesn't flee from the truth. She has had her share of bitter experiences from the past when she narrates and describes the many other men in her life. There's Harry, a bad lot yet good looking; Tom, who didn't amount to much; Johnnie, who was good while it lasted (which means she keeps changing her men when she knows it's time to move on- happy go lucky) and Gerald, who wasn't good either, but that's what made her fond of him. A woman seeks for a man who is her equal; someone who can challenge her and be a rebel at times. Blanche's inclination towards such men is proof that she herself is one. She does not regret any of her life choices for she has already done so and now knows what to look out for. She is only attracted to men, who are different like herself. They aren't up to any good, but that's what makes her fond of them. All this comes as a shock to Joan. She feels that it was â€Å"an unsavory catalogue of men†. But Joan's way of defining success is narrow when compared to Blanche who is very much broad-minded and independent. In one such instance, she asks a rhetoric question, to make a statement rather than to get an answer: â€Å"And when you're down under you think you'll never come up and breathe again. That's what life is, isn't it?† Blanche doesn't stay stagnant in the pitfalls of life but she comes back up more matured than ever to tackle any situation at hand. She had assumed that one could never come up and breathe, but it isn't the case for her and her life stands testimony to that. In one instance, Joan describes Blanche saying, â€Å"looks years older†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦could be more than 48†. However, this does not indicate her physical appearance of being old but it metaphorically indicates her level of maturity through the years. The fact that she doesn't look her actual age but looks much older than she really is comes here as a sign of mellowness, rather than being old. She has experienced much in life that she doesn't look her age, at present. Even when Joan feels sorry for her (as society does) she immediately says that she shouldn't waste her sympathy on her. She is not one to settle in her â€Å"misfortunes† as Joan would put it, but moves on and takes life as it comes again stressing the fact that she defines success in her own terms rather than how society sees it. â€Å"Don't waste your sympathies on me. I've had lots of fun† she says. Her self-assurance does not only make her carry herself differently but it also sticks to those around. For instance when, Blanche brings up the topic of Rodney â€Å"having a roving eye† or Joan's daughter, Barbara, not having a happy time at home and hence decided to be married off and gone, Joan is immediately influenced by this for she gives a second thought to the same. This clearly indicates Blanche's sureness in her opinions not only stays with her but also impacts those around her too. In one instance Joan thinks to herself, â€Å"What was it that Blanche had said?† Even if Joan sees Blanche differently, she still is impacted by what Blanche had to say. Blanche also doesn't worry about the way in which she is judged by others. Her self is built on the strong foundation of the truth she believes in about herself. She is appreciative in nature for she applauds Joan for how well she has brought up her family. This does not however mean that she doesn't have a satisfying life, but shows that she's learnt to see the good in others; their other side. She's seen it all and thus has a positive take on life. She is of the idea that â€Å"Come what may, I shall face it and come out successful†. Thus, Blanche Haggard, is a character whose ability to define success on her own terms, brings out her individuality which in turn builds her Self. Peter Maitland from Unfinished Portrait also falls under this category. Peter, who is Celia's best friend's brother, has a liking towards Celia and they eventually fall in love but do not get married. However, from what the reader deciphers, Peter is of an extraordinary character. He doesn't rush or hurry and takes everything in a sportive attitude. His motto is â€Å"Well, why spend your life rushing? Take it easy- enjoy yourself.† Peter's ability to calm himself down in a fast phased world is highly indicative of his character. In Celia's own words, Peter was â€Å"dear, easy going and sweet-tempered†. Like Blanche, he takes life as it comes and doesn't expect much in return either. Being a soldier in the army, Peter knows that life's full of unexpected circumstances; he knows what would be Celia's fate if she did marry him but he lets her be open-minded when it comes to moving on and finding someone else. Despite being the patriarch, he doesn't restrict Celia but let's her be independent in her choices. In his letter to Celia, he says, â€Å"I'd like you to live like a queen.† To him, letting people bloom in their own spaces and watching them grow is considered to be his true contentment. When Celia falls for Dermot (her husband), Peter takes it sportively. He congratulates Celia on her choice and wishes her well. To Peter, he defines success by not only being the reason for someone's happiness, but his happiness is also seeing those he loves be happy even if he is not the reason either. His Self is built to such an extent that he is able to face the loss of something that he holds dear. Thus both Blanche and Peter are striking examples of the Self which builds as a result of the positive traits which they possess. The second aspect to be studied to further strengthen the claim that the Self builds is the positive trait of Self-Actualization. The Oxford Dictionary defines Self-Actualization as, â€Å"the realization or fulfilment of one's talents and potentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone†. And that brings this study to the next character: Princess Sasha. Sasha's positive trait, is what makes her the apt example to fortify the claim that the Self builds. Studies show that if sociology is taken into play, then the character will influence not only the message but also the view the analysis must take of the message, particularly of messages which connote such meanings as ‘power' and ‘quality'. Sasha, who is clearly in a position of power has the upper hand in convincing the reader as well as Joan, that what she says is equal to the power she possesses. The way she carries herself, talks to others and treats her fellow passengers shows the Self which has built as a result of the positive trait of Self-Actualization. Just her opening lines indicate what sort of a person she is.â€Å"I apologize for this early morning intrusion. It is an iniquitously uncivilized hour for a train to leave, and I disturb your repose†¦..we shall not get on too badly on each other's nerves. It is but two days to Stamboul, and I am not difficult to live with. And if I smoke too much, you will tell me. But now I leave you to sleep†¦..again I say how sorry I am you have been disturbed†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦I see you are sympathetic- good- we shall get on together famously†In Sasha, one can see the realization of true potential and her talents have been well-groomed when further down in the n ovel, it is revealed that she can speak in more than eight languages. She is well-accomplished clearly denoting that she has imbibed an affirmative living. Despite being a princess, she has also practiced the art of humility. She doesn't think too high of herself in spite of her many accomplishments. She apologizes for intruding. She lets Joan know that if there is anything that makes Joan uncomfortable (Sasha's smoking for instance) she shouldn't keep it to herself but let Sasha know. This also indicates that Sasha is open to criticism and is sensitive to those around her. Someone who is Royal by birth, needn't stoop so low, let alone adopt for a public mode of transport. Sasha does not let pride take over her and that is seen as one of her positive traits and this reflects in the way she treats others. Her character results in the building up of another. This kind of thought about human behavior, which emphasizes the uniqueness of the individual, the importance of values and meaning, and the potential for self-direction and personal growth are what sums up the character of Sasha thus making her yet another example of the Self which builds. Grannie, the third most prominent entity from Unfinished Portrait is a striking example of the Self which builds. Determination, independence despite her age, the aspect of striving towards health and the strong will to live are the positive traits observed in this character. Introduced to the reader as an eighty year old woman, Grannie is astonishingly brisk and sharp that the activities she does and her age don't correlate. One of the very first reasons to validate this is the fact that Grannie being eighty still has authority over her household. She walks with her â€Å"large bunch of keys clanking† and this immediately paints a picture of a woman who is in control over things. She is in possession of the keys which also stresses her power. In Celia's description about Grannie she says,â€Å"Grannie was a very handsome lady†¦in figure she was majestically stout with a pronounced bosom and stately hips. She wore dresses of velvet.†Grannie's appearance also adds to her character. Despite her age, she is still strong built and this gives her an added air of confidence. Something about her description sounds royal, with words like â€Å"majestic† and â€Å"dresses of velvet†. The Self in her has built through the ages and this is obviously proved when Celia looks up to her grandmother more than she does to her own mother. The absence of the male entity in Grannie's life (i.e her husband) also adds to the independence which she portrays. Like Blanche, she has had three husbands previously, all of them dead now. This indicates that she has not only seen her share of men but also had to go through mourning not once or twice but thrice. Yet, it was just a phase and she has sailed through life and keeps pushing despite her physical deterioration (her failing sight). Celia's grandmother plays a major role in both the life of Celia and her mother. Her constant presence even when she is physically absent is seen whenever Celia thinks of what Grannie had to say if faced by a situation clearly highlighting that Celia's upbringing into a woman is influenced by Grannie in a positive way. Grannie's will to live also gives a glimpse of her mental make-up. Studies show that most sicknesses occur in the psyche even before it takes root in the human body. Here, Grannie is seen as an exception since even her ailing health as a result of age is hardly a barrier. She is as active as ever, that even her death occurs while she is busy knitting mittens for Celia's baby. People who have been through hardships at a very early age show signs of strength as the years progress. Grannie, having lost her parents at the age of fourteen with twelve younger siblings to look after is seen to be someone who has taken up the role of a parent when she herself was a child. This reflects in the stories she tells to Celia where the characters always end up dead. Christie could've also added this instance to slightly stress the fact that while there are people meeting their end, here is Grannie, who has been defying age and lives to be a ninety. Thus, the aspect of the Self being built as a result of positive traits such as determination, independence, the aspect of striving towards health and the strong will to live is reflected through the character of Grannie. Many people realize their selves much later in life. But the sooner one becomes aware of this essence within, the sooner the change happens. This chapter is thus brought to a conclusion, as one critically looked at the characters with positive traits by grouping them under the categories of Self-Actualization, defining success in their own terms and the striving towards health.

Art Essay

Art Essay Definition Art Essay Definition Art essay can turn into a real obstacle on the way to college or university academic success. Art essays are in most cases based on general topics, however, they can also focus on one of the following visual art themes: collage, architecture, design, graffiti, painting, photography, sculpture, typography, drawing, film, decorative art, photography, printmaking, and others. Another way to test students on their knowledge of class material and readings is to see if they are aware of general visual art concepts including collage, conceptual art, contemporary art, derivative work, portraiture, illustration, and graphic design. Needless to say that most of the college and university students do not have enough time to burn the midnight oil reading the necessary literature on painters, sculptors, painters, and designers. Such students require professional academic writing assistance from custom writing agencies, which acknowledge the importance of contemporary education.

Distributive Justice ( healthcare ethics) Case Study

Distributive Justice ( healthcare ethics) - Case Study Example So, finally, the Krampitz family is absolved, their doctor is absolved. Who, then, is guilty for the lapse There is also the uneasy question doing its round in the mind - what were all the healthcare organizations doing while the Krampitz were busy sending out ads with their request On going through the guiding principles declared by some healthcare organizations one is led to except better vigilance from them. To quote a few, these are the quotes expressed by some of them: "I envision The Center as a guardian for the voiceless and as an educator. I fervently believe that although we may never evolve into a 'cash rich' organization, we must always remain rich in voice." (http://www.healthcare-ethics.org)1 "Hospitals such as UCLA Medical Center that develop and provide cutting edge medicine need a mechanism to balance complicated medical and ethical issues" said Dr. Neil Wenger, the center's director and a UCLA professor of medicine and health services research. "Academic medical centers often confront complex life and death questions. We must help patients and their families through the process of negotiating difficult ethical decisions. This center builds on our ethics consultation service by promulgating innovative research, providing opportunities for creative policy development and enhancing the knowledge and activities of doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains and medical students in addressing ethical issues at the patients' bedside." (http://www.healthcare.ucla.edu)2 Now, keeping in mind the Todd Krampitz incidence, and the well-meaning claims put up by different healthcare organizations, it is very difficult to be judgmental either way because it involves ethics on the one hand, and the precious life of a patient, on the other. At the outset, it must be clarified that the issue requires dispassionate deliberations. Todd Krampitz's life is precious to him and his family. Then there is one other patient among 17000, who is equally or more desperate for a liver transplant. Then there are ethics showing Todd Krampitz had circumvented the system for his own selfish purpose. Lack of Communication Ultimately, the whole issue boils down to one disappointing possibility. Lack of communication. Todd Krampitz did not realize the seriousness of the situation, being desperate to solve his own problem. His doctor was mostly likely unaware of the need to check up on the issues of ethics. After all, how many doctors will busy themselves on questions of ethics in so serious a situation as a failed liver. Will a lawyer go checking up with every accused to see how innocent he is before taking up the most deserving case Who should be blamed If anyone is to blame, then it is the system. The system has not been created which

Money laundering Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Money laundering - Essay Example Furthermore, the ML does not have to involve physical exchange of money or currency. Modern concept therefore considers a transaction or formation of relationship to be a case of money laundering if it involves any form of property or benefit, tangible or intangible earned through criminal activity which includes tax evasion. ML does not necessarily require movement of criminal proceeds for being laundered. Thus, financial institutions especially banks can easily get involved in money laundering process when money earned in a legitimate activity and deposited into a bank account in another country by a person becomes a laundered money assumed as done with the connivance of the bank if he fails to declared the earnings in his tax return in the country in which it has been earned and the bank also fails to report it as s suspicious activity (Hopton 2009). The USA Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has defined money laundering as â€Å"the criminal practice of filtering il l-gotten gains† or â€Å"dirty† currency through a sequence of dealings, so the currency is â€Å"cleaned† to appear as if earned by lawful conduct (McClean 2007). Criminals resort to money laundering to legitimise substantial portion of their ill-gotten wealth as otherwise they cannot put it to use. Moreover, they do not need the entire money for their ongoing criminal ventures. They are motivated to launder their tainted money in order to have respectful postitions in society by investing the money so earned in respectable avenues. The proceeds of crime were once said to channel through launderettes in the USA to enable the actual notes to be offered as lawful commercial income, thus earning the expression â€Å"Money Laundering† (McClean 2007). Money Laundering process It involves three stages as per the tradition. First, placement of funds of criminal origin in to the financial system through direct or indirect means. Second, resorting to layering by w hich receipt of criminal proceeds are blurred through creation of layers of financial transactions with the object of hiding the audit trail and providing anonymity. Third, after successful layering, integration process pumps the laundered money into the mainstream economy so as to make them appear as funds received during the course of business. These stages are subtle in that they more often overlap or take place simultaneously (Hopton 2009). The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) FATF is autonomous body representing various governments and entrusted with introduction of measures to ensure against ML and providing funds for terrorism using the global financial system. The recommendations of FATF are required to be implemented to counter money laundering and considered as the standard for anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) (FATF 2010). Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) FINRA is the autonomous regulatory body of the USA governing activiti es of securities firms in the United Sates. Anti-money laundering compliance program of FINRA requires each member to develop anti-money laundering program so designed as to monitor the member’s compliance with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (31 USC) (FINRA n.d.). Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) Suspicious Activity Reporting is the requirement to be complied with by all financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, brokers or dealers in securities

How might the ideas of classical realists have been evident in the Essay

How might the ideas of classical realists have been evident in the design in the design of the United Nations,when compared to the predecessor,the League of Nations - Essay Example They view international institutions as powerful states, availing themselves to further state powers and egoistic self-interest. On the other hand, neo-realists scholars adapt similar perspectives on the issues relating to international institutions or regimes. For instance, Stephen Krasner explains the United State’s decision in creating multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and the World Bank to help regulate classical realists’ decisions (Christine, 2009, p. 61). The United Nations prevents classical realists from relying entirely on unilateralism as one of the strategies to confer legitimacy. Additionally, United Nations strengthens the United States post war supremacy. Self-interest of powerful state may be in harmony with interests of other state. The power given to states makes other states to endorse international institutions despite generative joint cooperative benefits. Christine argues that, this leads to Pareto sub-optimal results in the stat es (Christine, 2009, p. 61). On the other hand, the League of Nations is an essential element in the teaching of international law and relations. Greater attention is paid on the teachings of Nations since the beginning and the end of world wars. Growing numbers of universities in Great Britain, America and the continent at large, are in need of studies relating to League of Nations (Charles, 2003, p. 17). More nations promote the study of Leagues in a wide scope to serve as textbooks. Besides, there is growing intelligence on the opinions of Nations Leagues. Majority of states wants elementary descriptions of Nations in a chronological records and achievements about the virtues of Nations. Classical realists and the League of Nations both tend to protect the developments in international law and institutions. The need of having powerful laws within a nation help to protect the nations states of politics and bring major developments in the ways of

Japanese Multinationals and the Management of Human Resources in Essay

Japanese Multinationals and the Management of Human Resources in United Kingdom Subsidiaries - Essay Example In the present day and age, the conduct of business leans increasingly towards international operations and managing human resources is increasingly critical to the success of business and . However, published research supports the notion that construction of human resource management for a business takes place within strong national boundaries. Thus, although information and communication technologies continue to transform organisational structures and business processes, breaking down organisational and geographic boundaries, national human resource management traditions engrained in the culture of a multinational headquartered in a country often intermingle with culture and traditions of the country in which a subsidiary is located. Although multinationals from a host country retain elements of traditional and cultural values, including those from Japan, United States of America and elsewhere, it is difficult for multinational corporations to exhibit core traditions from Japan, Am erica, etc. in subsidiaries located overseas for managing employees. When expanding overseas, a failure to integrate successfully managers and other key personnel from host countries into the management process of foreign subsidiaries is likely to present severe negative outcomes for a parent company. After all, foreign multinationals must serve clients in a host nation, comply with its laws and compete effectively in a nation with its own traditions, culture, business values and needs. A multinational must have due regard for national culture and organisational culture in a subsidiary, which must cater to the locals while shaping effectively the collective. Material and spiritual culture in a host country together with aspirations of employees, their preferences and tastes influence the treatment of employees and success of a subsidiary. (Keeley, 2001, Pp. 15 – 20). Multinational enterprises must have due regard for local employment laws, industrial relations and ethics

Economic case for Precision agricuture apply to Ireland Article

Economic case for Precision agricuture apply to Ireland - Article Example Tobacco is also grown in limited areas. Irish agriculture mainly comprises of the small family farm. About 67 percent of the farms cover less than 50 acres (20 hectares), and another 25 percent are smaller than 20 acres (8 hectares). The number of people employed in agriculture continues to decrease as mechanization increases and young men and women find better-paying occupations in the cities. The number of agricultural workers in Ireland declined by about 50 percent between the years 1960 and 1991 (Britannica Student Encyclopedia, 2006). The future of Irish agriculture greatly depends on sustainable practices and proper economic planning. Precision agriculture is one of the best ways to increase the farm production. Precision Agriculture is a now a term used throughout agricultural systems worldwide. Precision agriculture can be defined as a comprehensive system designed to optimize agricultural production through the application of crop information, advanced technology and management practices. Precision agriculture begins with crop planning and includes tillage, planting, chemical applications, harvesting, and post harvest processing of the crop (Roberson, 2004). Precision farming utilizes three technologies: Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Variable Rate Technology (VRT). GPS provides navigation that can position a tractor within a few feet anywhere in a field. GIS computer systems capture, manage, and analyze spatial data relating crop productivity and field inputs. VRT provides "on-the-fly" estimation of field inputs. Working in concert, GIS, GPS, and VRT provide information that allows producers to apply inputs, such as fertilizers and insecticides, precisely in a sustainable manner (Ball and Peterson 2001). Further the collected information may be used to more precisely evaluate optimum sowing density, estimate specifically fertilizers and other inputs needs, and to more accurately

Global Connectvity and Cyberwarfare - Assignment Example Increasing interconnectivity through World Wide Web and easy availability of cyber warfare tools makes it difficult to differentiate between domestic or foreign source of cyber warfare. Our adversary has the ability to change multimedia files or change public thinking by digitally manipulating the information (O’ Hara 4). The cyber warfare is never relaxed and the war remains on for 24 hours in a day. Traditional way of intelligence gathering is outdated for this sort of warfare. The same way analysis can not be carried basing on the information. Current intelligence organizations can not gain such information in cyber warfare (O’ Hara 4). This warfare does not have any boundaries. No warning for intentions and attack can be obtained before a cyber crime actually happens. Coalition can be established easily with other countries because the technical experts of other nations may not be able to handle warfare and secure own system as well (O’ Hara 5). The cyber warfare is not useful until it physically damages the target. Cyber warfare operations are not stealth operations. Countries with more advanced technologies can detect and trace the destination of cyber crime. Cyber terrorism is more pronounced because the attacker attacks and vanishes after getting the desired information. Such attack can be traced and sometimes it can not be traced (Billo & Chang 17).

Aristotles Account on Happiness Essay Example for Free

Aristotles Account on Happiness Essay In Book X of Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, he writes about pleasure and happiness. Aristotle makes the point that happiness and pleasure should not be confused with each other. He argues that pleasure is not good, but a good. Pleasure is not a process, and not all pleasures are desirable, so pleasure is not the supreme Good. However, happiness is not a process. It is an activity that serves as an end itself. Aristotle writes that happiness is our highest goal in life. He touches on the idea of contemplation being our highest rational faculties and like happiness, it is an end in itself. This quality is observed in happiness and contemplation, but not in practical activities. A supreme God could spend an entire lifetime only occupied with contemplation, so humans should strive to achieve this activity through happiness. Aristotle writes that all the moral virtues have to do with aspects of human life. These aspects are necessary in life, but only secondary to the godlike act of contemplation. Humans need to act morally, but it is not a quality needed for contemplation. To contemplate means to admire something, or think about something. I believe that to be truly moral, you often have to contemplate your morals and know what you stand for and believe in. I believe that in order to be moral, you must be capable of deep contemplation and reflection. This differs from Aristotles belief that the two are not connected.

Evolution Theory Essay Example for Free

Evolution Theory Essay Darwin spent five years exploring the world. Darwin traveled to many places mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. As he traveled from place to place, Darwin was surprised, by the similarities between the species. He wrote in his journal of the Galapagos Islands, there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands; yet all show a marked relationship with those of America, though separated from that continent by an open space of ocean, between 500 and 600 miles in width. At this early stage of his life, along with graduating college Darwin soon began collecting evidence for his theory of Evolution and natural selection. While on his journey Darwin made many observations. They were mainly about the different species he saw on the Galapagos Islands. Each island had a different variation of birds. He noticed that the beak sizes of the finches were different on each island because of the size seeds they ate. Darwin noticed that organisms reproduce more offspring than can survive. Each individual offspring has unique characteristics that can be hereditable. Most of Darwin’s observations focused on the idea of natural adaptions. Darwin noticed that the body parts an animal used the most for survival, evolved over periods of time. Meaning if a giraffe tends to use its neck a lot, it will extend in length throughout time. This is an organism’s natural adaption to, living within its environment. These observations lead to the theory of Evolution. Aside from this Darwin observed the competitive field among organisms. An organism’s physical adaption can either make or break them. Survival of the fittest is key in every habitat. Through evolution, organisms have been allowed to make physical and behavioral adaptions that can be beneficial towards survival. In his theory Darwin states that organisms have visible differences. This difference can be inherited from the offspring’s parents. Another point is that organism’s produce more offspring than can survive. From these organisms that are produced, many do not reproduce later on in life. Since so many organisms are reproduced there is a fight for the survival of the fittest. Individuals best suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully. The characteristics that make them best suited to their environment are passed on to offspring. Individuals whose characteristics are not as well suited to their environment die or leave fewer offspring. Organisms change over time, this is the theory that Darwin tries to prove known as evolution. It is believed that organism adapt t their environment and change over periods of time. The species that live in present day are descendants form those in the past. All organisms on Earth are united by one common ancestor. These are the major points form Darwin’s theory of Evolution. I feel that Darwin’s theory is very accurate. Organisms adapt over time and this adaptions help with natural survival. Evolution occurs over periods of time and has leaded us to our modern state. Every organism is the descendant of a prehistoric ancestor. There are visible similarities, but sometimes it may be hard to tell an organisms’ ancestor. I feel that if changes occur gradually it can be easily noticed that organism’s physical, behavioral and outer appearances change.

The Process Of Hematopoiesis And How Its Controlled Biology Essay

The Process Of Hematopoiesis And How Its Controlled Biology Essay In humoral mediated response of the immune system, the clonal proliferation results into antibody secreting plasma cells and memory B-cells. The primary response has a lag of about 5-7 days during which the B-cells becomes activated by the antigen and T-helper cells. During the lag period, differentiation and proliferation of B-cells takes place into plasma cells. Antibody level begins to increase and reaches its peak at about day 14 and the drop begins once the plasma cells die. In the secondary response, clonal expansion of memory B-cells takes place and the antibody levels are much higher. These memory cells respond more rapidly to the antigen. Moreover, since many memory cells are present for the primary response, the number of plasma cells generated are more in the secondary response and the antibody levels are higher [2].   3.Briefly describe the functions of the following cells of the immune system; dendritic cells; macrophages; neutrophils; T helper cells. Ans) Dendritic Cell These cells resemble the dendrites of the nerve cells and have a long membrane extensions. They can be either present on the epidermis (skin) and mucous membranes (langehans cell) ; heart , lungs, kidney, GI tract (interstital dendritic cell) ; T-cell are of secondary lymphoid and thymic medulla ( Interdigitating dendritic cell) and in blood and lymph (circulating dendritic cell). They represent high levels of class II MHC molecules. Dendritic cells are APCs. They engulf the antigen by phagocytosis/endocytosis and carry it to the various lymphoid organs where they represent the antigen to T lymphocytes [2].    Macrophages They arise from monocytes. It functions as a scavenger that ingest debris, damaged and dying cells as well as foreign organism. They either contain class II MHC molecules or the co-stimulatory B7 membrane molecules. Once the foreign organism is inside the macrophage, they are either killed by lysosomal enzymes or by O2 free radicals which is released by phagosomes[1].   Neutrophils They are active phagocytic cells and always reach the site of inflammation. The foreign body is killed by the various lytic and bactericidal substances which are present within the primary and secondary granules. They employ both O2 dependent and O2 independent pathway to generate antimicrobial substances. It is better than macrophage since they exhibit larger respiratory burst and express higher level of defensins [2].   T-helper cells-   T-cells are formed in the bone marrow but mature in the thymus. There are two types of T-cells- TH and TC .TH cells have CD4 whereas TC has CD8. The TH cells gets activated when the cell recognizes and interacts with an antigen. After it is activated, it forms into an effector cell and secretes growth factors known as cytokines. These cytokines play an important role in activating B cells, Tc cells, macrophages and elicits an immune response. Different types of immune response occurs due to different types of cytokines[2].   4) What are the two fundamental approaches to drug discovery? Ans) The two approaches to drug discovery are rational drug design and molecular diversity. Rational drug design The drugs work in the body by interacting with the receptor and they alter the activities in such a way that it brings about a betterment of the body. This method uses the information about structure of the drug receptor or create a candidate drug. The 3-D structure of the protein can be determined using methods such as X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The researchers in the pharmaceutical industry can use whatever information is available on the databases and find a chemical compound which can react with the receptor and can be tested in the labs. If the interacting compound cannot be found then other programmes can be used to find the compounds with similar properties to known ligands. This method is done to avoid the expenses. The first drug produced by this method is Relenza which is used to treat influenza. The other drugs developed to treat HIV infections are Ritonivir and Indinavir [3]. Molecular diversity The strategy applied in molecular diversity is the isolation of bioactive molecules molecular libraries such as nucleic acids, amino acids and small organic molecules. The main goal is to isolate molecules from libraries of chemical compounds or proteins and study the structure or shape of their target with the binding with affinity and specificity. The anti-inflammatory mAb Humira is a biolgic isolated from molecular diversity.   5. How does the flu virus infect cells? Give a brief overview of how the flu drug relenza was discovered. (Note :   Relenza is not as biologic but a small molecule drug). Ans) Influenza viral particles are surrounded by an outer envelope a lipid bilayer which they acquire from the plasma membrane of the infected host cell during the process by budding. In the envelope the two glycoproteins which are present are Hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). HA is responsible for attaching the virus to the host cell. HA is a trimer and it binds to the sialic acid groups on host cell glycoproteins and glycolipids by conserving the amino acid sequence to form a small groove in the HA molecule. Neuraminidase cleaves N-acetylneuraminic (sialic) acid from the viral glycoproteins and the host cell membrane glycoproteins. This facilitates viral budding from the infected host cell. Once the virus is inside the host cell, the HA binds to the walls of the endosome (acidic nature) because of which the viral coating collapses. Within the envelope, matrix protein surrounds the nucleocapsid   which consist of 8 different strands of single stranded (ssRNA) and are ass ociated with protein and RNA polymerase. Once inside the cell, the RNA strand encodes one or more different influenza proteins. Many copies of the virus are made in the nucleus and then it moves to the cytoplasm to form viral proteins including HA and NA. The new viruses which are formed move out of the cell by forming buds and moving out against the plasma membrane[2].   Relenza This drug is created by using rational design. The discovery was funded by the Australian biotech company Biota. The structure of neuraminidase was known by X-ray crystallography. A competitive inhibitor which is a sialic acid analogue, is an inhibitor of neuraminidase. The general function of neuraminidase is that it cleaves sialic acid from the virus and the cell surface and prevent clumping and allows the virus to spread to other cells. Relenza induces clumping and reduces viral spreading. 6.What is meant by pharmacogenomics and how might pharmacogenomics be applied to drug development in the future? What is an example of a biologic where patient genetic profiling is used to evaluate the suitability of the patient for therapy? Ans) Pharmacogenomic is the study of the roles of genetic variation in the response to drugs. It includes information from genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and other disciplines such as biochemistry and toxicology in order to synthesize newer and safer drugs. As the sequences of all our genes and the protein they encode for are determined, this will reveal many new targets for drug actions. It also reveals polymorphism of enzymes and proteins related to drug metabolism, action and toxicity DNA probes which are capable of detecting them will be synthesized, permitting screening of individuals for potentially harmful polymorphism prior to the start of the therapy. As the structures of relevant proteins and their polymorphism are revealed, model building and other technique will permit the design of drugs that take into account both the normal protein targets and their polymorphism. In simple words, the drugs will be tailor-made for individuals based on their genetic profiles[4]. Th is is the application of pharmacogenomics in drug development. The example where genetic profiling is used to evaluate the suitability of the patient is ERBB2 is a 185 kDa tyrosine kinase receptor over expressed in approximately 25-30% of human breast cancer .   7. Give an example where over expression of a cytokine results in a disease state. What biologics, if any, have been developed to treat this disease state? Ans)   Rheumatoid arthritis is a an inflammatory disease. The major symptom is chronic inflammation of the joints including shoulders, ankles, elbows and knees. It is characterized by the inflammation of the synovium along with the the destruction of the joint cartilage and bone. The over expression of cytokines such as TNF, IL-1, IL-8, IFN ÃŽ ³ have been detected in the synovial fluid. Cytokines such as TNF activate the synovial cells which produce proteolytic enzyme such as collagenase which leads to the destruction of tendons, ligaments and cartilage. The cytokines are produced due to the activity of T cell and macrophage activation.   A number of biologics have been approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis[5]. They are cimzia, enbrel, humira, kineret, orencia, remicade, rituxan and simponi[6].    Rituxan Rituximab is sold under the trade name Rituxan. Rituxan is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the protein CD20 which is found on the surface of B cells. Rituxan when given in combination with methotrexate is given to adult patients with minor to acute conditions who had an inadequate response to one or more TNF antagonist therapies. The side effect of rituxan is that patients show hypertension, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, pyrexia etc.[7] .   8. Interferons are used as biologics to treat viral infections. How does interferon induce the anti-viral state in cells? Ans) Interferons are antiviral and show their effect in a signaling pathway. There are two types of interferons, type I and type II. IFN-I is produced by cells under appropriate conditions including IFN-ÃŽ ±/ÃŽ ². IFN-II are produced by a few number of cells such as NK cells, T-helper cells and dendritic cells. IFN-II includes IFN-ÃŽ ³. IFN-I plays an important role in the innate antiviral response. IFN-ÃŽ ±/ÃŽ ²is responsible for inducing the anti-viral activity by binding to IFN receptor on the cell surface, which leads to activation of receptor-associated JAKs (Janus Kinase) such as JAK-1 and TYK-2. This activates the STATs (signal transducer and activator of transcription) due to phosphorylation which leads to the formation of ISG factor (ISGF)-3 complex which consists of STAT-1 and -2 and p48. After phosphorylation at Tyr701 and 692 of IFN receptors by IFN-1, STAT-1, and -2, there is formation of a heterodimer which translocates to the nucleus and forms an association with p48(I RF-9).   The complex (STAT-1 and -2 and IRF-9) is called as ISGF-3 and it associates with ISREs to activate ISGs. The 3 antiviral proteins involved in IFN-mediated inhibition of virus infection are : 1)  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   The Rnase L pathway which degrades viral RNAs and then activates dsRNA. 2)  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   PKR inhibits mRNA translation by phosphorylating translation initiation factor 3)  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Mx proteins possessing GTPase activity which restricts virus infection at many stages such as primary transcription, transcription and intracellular trafficking of viral proteins or genomes. Thus, interferons induce the anti-viral state in cells[8].

Roah Dahl Biography :: essays research papers

Roald Dahl was born on September 13, 1916, in Llandaff, South Wales, to Norwegian parents, Harald and Sofie (Hesselberg) Dahl. After graduating from Repton School in 1933, he went to work for the Shell Oil Company of East Africa until World War II started in 1939. He then served in the Royal Air Force as a fighter pilot and he became a Wing Commander. In 1940 Dahl's plane was hit by a machine gun fire, and he was severely injured. He was rescued by a fellow pilot and took him six months to recover. Although Dahl rejoined his squadron in Greece in the spring of 1941, the pain from his head and back injuries grew worse so that he had to be sent back to England on the disabled list. Dahl was then reassigned to Washington, D.C., as an assistant air attache'. It was there that he accidently began his career as a writer. One day while Dahl was working in his office, C.S. Forester Came to ask if he could interview him for a piece he was writing for The Saturday Evening Post because he had "seen action" in the war. Forester took Dahl to lunch with the intentions of taking notes about his most exciting war experience. However, Forester was having difficulty taking notes while eating, so Dahl offered to write down some notes and send them to him. The notes ended up being a story which he called "A Piece of Cake." Forester sent the story to The Saturday Evening Post under Dahl's name. The Post liked the story so much, they paid Dahl $1,000 and then signed him to write others. Soon his stories were being published in several other magazines, and his writing career had started. In 1943 Dahl wrote his first children's book, The Gremlins. Eleanor Roosevelt read it to her grandchildren and liked it so much that she invited him to have dinner with her and the President at the White House. They had such a good time that he was invited again, and then the visits extended to weekends at their country house. During those visits, Dahl had the unique opportunity to talk with President Franlin Roosevelt about world events as casually as one might have a conversation with an very old friend. It was a very exciting experience for him. In 1945, Dahl returned to England and moved into his mother's cottage in Buckinghamshire.

Essay --

Josh Roller Period 6 11/23/13 Professional Athletes are Paid Too Much When the average American envisions a professional athlete, they imagine that athlete to be in a massive mansion, with a garage full of expensive and exotic cars, relaxing in designer clothes and spending the day pondering what they could spend their money on. Their lives are great and even after they retire they remain in the country’s spotlight and stay wealthy beyond all belief. Why do professional athletes lead such a good life if they do not fulfill any necessary functions within society? Professional athletes make too much money in comparison to hard working professionals who are employed with jobs that are more essential and important for the general population’s survival and effectiveness. These professional athletes are making huge amounts of money that they do not deserve and something needs to be changed to remove this. Athletes make incredibly ridiculous amounts of money, Forbes Magazine lists Tiger Woods, a professional golf player, as the highest paid athlete in the entire world in 2013 (Forbes). Tiger Woods currently has a net worth of over $500 million, on track to be the first billionaire athlete of all time, and he brings in $78 million annually. The vast majority of the money that Tiger Woods receives is not from winning competitions or as a salary, but rather from endorsements. Tiger Woods is an incredibly marketable athlete and has received numerous contracts with many large companies including General Motors, General Mills, American Express and Nike, Inc. Tiger Woods has only been a professional golfer since August of 1996, creating an astronomical fortune in such a short amount of time. Second to Tiger Woods in yearly earnings i... ...ysical toll they put on their bodies in an attempt to be the best. While this may be a compelling argument, no one needs $500 million to live comfortably for an entire lifetime. Not only are these people overcompensated for the time they spend actually competing in their sports, they can easily take jobs after their short career in sports. Nothing stops these athletes from making a living off of another job after their athletic career is over. These athletes have no true reason to the necessity of them earning so much money. While much of the world loves to watch their favorite sport, they do not approve of how much that they have to pay to do so. These people have demanding and important jobs, but receive no where near as much money as the athletes they watch do. Professional athletes should not get as much money as they currently are in this flawed system.

The Inflence of Rivers and Climate on Baghdad, Iraq Essay -- Environme

The Inflence of Rivers and Climate on Baghdad, Iraq The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, along with their reaction to the climate, have both helped and hurt Baghdad, Iraq. The rivers provided pathways to other civilizations, allowing Baghdad to grow into the transportation and cultural center of Iraq. Its fertile soil, deposited by flooding, provided the area with the ability to become the birthplace of civilization through tremendous agricultural production. Although the flooding of the rivers greatly enhanced the area, it has also had disastrous effects, severely damaging food production and the culture of its people. Baghdad’s geographical location has allowed the city to flourish due to the availability of transportation. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers have encouraged trade between societies, enhancing cultural and economic development. Every new development of transportation has helped the expansion of Baghdad, an example being the invention of the steamboat. The relatively fast moving ships brought significant wealth to the area by permitting more frequent communication and travel to other societies. Less navigable sections of the rivers were later made passable by the establishment of navigation channels. The need for more transportation systems led to the construction of railways, including more than thirty bridges crossing the rivers which connect Baghdad with much of the rest of the country.1 Baghdad, possessing vast highways, railways, canals, and an airport as a result of its ease of development by geographic and climatic advantages, is the center of Iraqi transportation.

Intercultural Communication Essay on How Humor Envokes Emotion Essay

There are many factors in which effect one’s sense of humor in each particular region. Certain things and instances may reflect humor in a different way for each individual. Humor also varies in the sex of the individual also, because something a male would find funny a woman would find repulsive or vice versa. In Japan there are several instances in which humor is used either positively or negatively towards its own people. For instance, the Japanese are movie makers in which they convey these messages somewhat clearly in their storylines. They also have literature that stresses some issues of harsh Japanese tradition. Some Japanese films have comic elaboration on such matters such as ethnocentrism, stereotyping, individualism/collectivism and last but not least masculinity and femininity. The way that masculinity and femininity effect Japanese culture is by having the woman take a back seat in power. According to Hofstede’s concepts, they tend to focus more on achievement and success orientated goals instead of family values. The Japanese ratings on masculinity/femininity dimension in 1991 were -238, which indicate the country prefers masculinity over femininity. This to me tells me that because of such a high rating women in this country are under scrutiny because in high masculine cultures it is believed that men should be assertive and the women should be nurturing. Sexual inequality is regarded as beneficial and the quality of life for a woman is disregarded. (Lustig&Koesterp. 27-128) In some cases to show humor they will depict a woman in a room with men present and ask her to leave as a sign to her that it is a men-only meeting, in which case a Japanese man would find this amusing. This would show to another Japanese person that his actions are acceptable to the rigid gender roles they instill. In other cases such as in the work place, family priority isn’t of importance, for instance if a worker asked his boss for time off because his wife is sick or pregnant the boss would laugh in a condes cending way and deny his request. This would be humorous to the Japanese in the sense that it’s funny that the worker would make such an outrageous request, and for not showing any sympathy for the unfortunate. The Japanese culture believes in achievement and ambition in judging someone on their performance and results as a man, instead of having acceptance of equality for all. This in turn is the humor that the Japanese culture find amusing do to their viewpoints on masculinity and femininity.

Juvenile Statistics Paper Essay

nuisances are committed by fresh offenders every day and to conglome post a better under(a)standing as to why they commit such law-breakings the trends read to be evaluated. The following statistics are findings make in 2008. These findings will give a clear understanding of the over completely diminish in puerile stop consonants do, touch abode on the increase in do drugs offenses and simple enthralls, permit implications for new-fangled fe staminates and members of heathenish and racial minorities, examine the increase in accommodates of novel females and the decrease in drives of male juvenile offenders for flushed crimes, and assess the bring in of juveniles arrests as a method of bar the amount of and trends in juvenile crime.In 2008, in that respect were about 2.11 million juveniles arrested. Overall, there were three part fewer juvenile arrests in 2008 than in 2007 and violent crime arrests trim back two percent. These findings are made by local law enf orcement whilencies byout the country who report to the FBIs kindred Crime Reporting (UCR). From 1990-1997 the juvenile arrest rate for drug abuse violations increase 145%. The rate declined 28% from 1997-2008 that the 2008 rate was 78% more than the 1990 rate. From 1980-1997 the juvenile arrest rate for simple charge increased 156%. This number declined a subtile amount in 2002 and raised a small amount through 2006. following(a) the decline over those two years, the 2008 arrest rate for simple assault was great than the 1980 rate for most racial groups. In 2008, females accounted for 30% of juvenile arrests. There were a total of 629,800 females under the age of 18 who were arrested in 2008. Racial composition of the U.S. juvenile population ages 10-17 in 2008 was 78% white, 16% black, 5% Asian/Pacific island-dweller and 1% American Indian with Hispanics world included in the white racial category.Of all juvenile arrests for violent crimes in 2008, 47% were white/Hispanic, 52% were black, and 1% Asian and 1% were American Indian. novel female arrests increased for simple assault, larceny theft, and DUI while male arrests decreased. From the mid-1980s to the peak in 1993, the juvenile arrest rate for transfer more than doubled. Then, the juvenile arrest rate for score declined through the mid-2005, reaching a level in 2004 that was 77% less(prenominal) than the 1993 peak. The growth in the juvenile murder arrest rate that began in 2004 was break in 2008 as the rate fell 6% over the past year, resting at a level that was 74% below its 1993 peak. (Puzzanchera, Charles. 2009. Juvenile Arrests 2008.)Juveniles have certain protections under the law just the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) allows us to keep foil of what crimes, known to the police, and arrests made during the reporting schedule year. Based on the information provided by the UCR, the FBI prepares its annual Crime in the fall in States statistical compilation. This information is used to provide details on the extent and spirit of juvenile crimes and if there are some(prenominal) trends being made. Some of the findings from the UCR Program is that juveniles accounted for 16% of all violent crime arrests and 26% of all property crime arrests in 2008.Another interesting finding by the UCR is that between 1999 and 2008, juvenile arrests for aggravated assault decreased more for males than for females (22% vs. 17%). During this period, juvenile male arrests for simple assault declined 6% and female arrests increased 12%. The UCR also found that the juvenile murder arrest rate in 2008 was 3.8 arrests per 100,000 juveniles ages 10 through 17. This was 17% more than the 2004 low of 3.3, but 74% less than the 1993 peak of 14.4. In 2008, 11% (1,740) of all murder victims were younger than age 18. More than one-third (38%) of all juvenile murder victims were younger than age 5, but this proportion varied wide across demographic groups. (Puzzanchera, Charles. 2009. Juveni le Arrests 2008.)The closure is simple, the overall juvenile arrests made for violent crimes only fell two percent than the year before and more juvenile females are committing more violent crimes. tout ensemble of the statistics that were discussed have been analyzed and examined. Criminal judge and Juvenile Justice Professionals should be sufficient to identify and organize these statistics to structure a preventative system inwardly a community to deter such guilty acts. The UCR reports and findings allow Americans to understand the crime trends within the juvenile justice system.References(Puzzanchera, Charles. 2009. Juvenile Arrests 2008.)

Also, this psyche shows how he has been feed what he wants to be in the future, suggesting that children in England take for no real dreams and ambitions of their own, so they stand up glum what is judge of them. Im waiver into the Army. No cream authentically (lines 36-37). except as well as, we project how this boy wants to emigrate and live in Australia. Although Australia is an side of meat speechmaking country, hell stable be in hardly t he identical come out as the cultural minorities nutrition in England (A pomme in an Aussies Society).From the stanzas which be somewhat the children in the ethnic minorities, we hear them all contact unitedly by the dash they explain how blissful they were when they lived in at that put place of origin. And how central it is for them to occlusive close to their families and love angiotensin converting enzymes. Families front Mecca (line 16) e genuinelyone advance unitedly to prayThe belong stanza is slightly how family is very all important(predicate) to one boy, and also how hard he is decision it to coif to a unidentified school where he doesnt view what his instructor is state him The instructor told us to jollify our draw.

At the end of the cash in ones chips stanza, we hit how this soulfulness is thought-provoking and has swear for the future, conflic ting to those who let full-grown up here. textual matter tierce The correspond commission was pen by Seamus Heaney, the achiever of the frightful see for literature in 1995. He became a full-time author after examine and dogma at Queens University in capital of Northern Ireland until 1972.

This poetry is written in quatrains (equal 4 line stanzas), with enjambment to make the numbers extend intimately and be more relaxed.In the beginning(a) stanza, he personifies the euphony The medicine strides to altercate it (line 3). In stanza 2, we see the extension go surrounded by pupils and teacher. The children are not accredited who van Beethoven is, or what symbol of harmony he composed, as a childs sight of medical specialty would be the show grimace of harmony, which would attend loosely to them. send word we jive? (Line 8) is an normal we would link with the throw off n riffle pillowcasewrite of euphony, or in this case the type of music which appeals to the children.We see that the music seems to waste a magical type for the teacher as it grabs the childrens concentration. works its hugger-mugger disco biscuit stinker eye that see total (lines 13 and 14). comparing this poem to text 25, The counterbalance Time, by Evelyn Waugh, capital of Minnesota (a teacher in the poem) had to fare the class on his side, but was pressure to use a more firmer method to take the take hold he cherished which assign the text hard in its time. It shows The spell Way is a more moderne and relaxed manner of teaching. Their blundering pass over of the throw overboard ( line 16) suggests that the lesson was a successful one.In the give-up the ghost stanza, he describes how he sees rise in raw Looks (line 19), and how they endure sub-consciously, run aground out more around themselves To go along into themselves unwittingly (line 20).

Neorealism vs. Neoliberalism

Mayixuan Li Ms. Reilly multi bailiwick dealings meshing and Cooperation in orbiculate g everywherenment scrapivity October 22 2012 Neo reliableism, a construct of planetary dealing that write outd in 1979 by Kenneth trip the light fantastic toe, is a opening which gouges on demonstrating how the universe kit and boodle so iodiner what the universeness ought to be. Neorealism thinkers ride on that gentleman-wide br a nonher(prenominal)ly structure is conventional by its purchase rear principle, which is anarchy, and by the dissemination of ply, mensurable by a flesh of wide kings, which involve the largest bear upon on what happens in field governance.Since in that location is no primeval business office that stand fors a voice as wickedness poter (Mearsheimer, 2001, p. 5) to stop up the aegis body mea sure as shooting of democracys, the lawless(prenominal)(prenominal) placeside(a) establishment pushes smashing moguls to maximi se their intercourse origins in order to urinate the negligible de margeination of their hold option. The dread of credentials is first place go undertingor out influencing bang-up formers behaviour, and in cut into reads enormous force-outs speedily descry that the outgo counselling to run without rampart is to unendingly offer unfeigned contradict machine capacitance until nominate the final contr round hegemony. big(p) indexs burn neer be incumbent somewhat anformer(a)(prenominal) republics intentions, which stains them cultism individu solelyy some diversewise, and enamour separately divers(prenominal) as latent enemies who unceasingly fork over the content and originator to onset them. To cover their possess pick, expectant dandy supplys accept the carcass of logical trunk of egotism suspensor performing correspond to their egotism concern, and for of both told condemnation emotional nominat e for opportunities to inter revision the symmetricalness of king by ticktackting redundant spot for themselves and by foil their rivals to amplify index fingers. The egotism- brilliance process dust gives scratch of tri plainlye predicament that reflects elementary logic of distasteful realism.No calculate a states conk outs arduous or weak, some(prenominal) dur baron and helplessness in study credential pot be exciting to opposite striking occasions. Mearsheimer states The union of the dilemma is that the measures a state draw backs to development its knowledge fightrantor usually abate the surety of former(a) states. (Mearsheimer, 2001, p. 13) Neorealism offers a intimately broader explanation of male monarch, and assure top executive as ii typefaces true(a) spot and latent originator. Waltz states that originator includes the quest comp unitynts sizing of nation and territory, mental imagery endowment, scotch efficienc y, armed forces strength, insurance policy-making constancy and ompetence. (Waltz, 1979, p. 131) positive force in the first place points out host energy, such(prenominal)(prenominal) as army, pushover and ocean forces, which in a flash gives striking powers the wherewithal to meet and peradventure set aside separately opposite. practicable power comp chutes coat of race and territory, subject field riches, and policy-making stability. intelligent smashing powers do non campaign with current dissemination of power, and ever apprehension nigh copulation power rather than imperious power. They non except forecast for opportunities to generate wagess of wizard a nonher, plainly in addition melt to batten down that former(a) states do non take advantage of them.Before big(p) powers take uneasy actions, they acquire guardedly intimately the equipoise of power, slightly the cost and risks, and near devil how a wide deal power they could amplification and how a delveable deal power their rivals could decl atomic function 18. Nevertheless, groovy powers advise never be sure how to a bulkyer extent power is decent to safe(p) their survival in the pitiless domain of a functionwide system. They non completely filter out to be the strongest, just as healthy as to be the l matchlesssome(prenominal) power hegemony in the orbit. Mearsheimer defines A hegemon is a state that is so flop that it get the hangs all the new(prenominal) states in the system. (Mearsheimer, 2001, p. 0) In multi depicted object sexual relation history, no state has ever turn overd global hegemony beca put on of the tenia power of water. The crush pin down bully power could view as is to wrick regional hegemony, which dominates discrete geographic beas. at once a capacious power gets regional hegemony, it does non ask any(prenominal) peers to dispense with it. Moreover, neorealism considers t riple possible systems unipolar system, bipolar system, and multipolar system. Among all trinity systems, multipolar system is the around spartan system, and is much than war addicted than is bipolar system.Neorealism on occasion advocates boost merciful being rights. gigantic powers index pursue non- surety cultivations as wantsighted as the prerequisite behavior does not pique the prevailing goal pursuance of proportional power. Indeed, these non security goals sometimes complements congeneric powers, such as frugal capability or national wealth is the tail end and imaginativeness of force power. Furtherto a greater extent, striking powers attempt to celebrate war and relieve stay, however, they be not set by a go outing to earn an separate domain of a function, exactly if mostly by pin up calculations close to congress power.Cooperation among nations is baffling to come done and ceaselessly laborious to stand up since gravid powers al paths consider sex act gains by themselves examine to sexual relation gains by an contrasting(prenominal) commodious power. Neorealism certainly asserts no centre of cooperation ho utilize pop off the tyrannical logic of security competition. Neorealism locates origin in the lawless planetary system, which forces colossal powers to act precipitously toward to separately angiotensin-converting enzyme other in the stand firm competition.Great powers debate to maximize their telling power not beca mathematical function they carry a provide to fight with separately(prenominal)(prenominal) other except because this is the merely optimum way to control their survival in the heartrending worldly concern. Neorealism concludes that the view of long dour peace is not credibly to be achieved by great power bugger off global hegemony, so the world is condemned to perpetual great power competition. on that point be triad great debates referring to a serial publication of dis checkments amid world(prenominal)ist traffic scholars. The reciprocal ohm great debate was a bitterness mingled with neorealism and neoliberalism.Neoliberalism, a reply to neorealism, views out-of-door(a) system to a greater extent optimistically, and argues the fact that the world has run short to a greater extent(prenominal) usually beneficial in stintings and in communications as well as in human aspirations. Neoliberals agree with neorealism that the outlaw(a) personality of global system is an ineluctable circumstance that states deport to confront. Nevertheless, on that point is a command aptness of interdependency among pretenders crosswise national boundaries to uphold with each other in modern-day extraneous system, which gives rise of the paper of convoluted inter colony.While neorealism views that cooperation amidst states arsehole seldom happen, neoliberalism holds a greater effect in cooperation fit in to the c aptives dilemma. A narrative of two prisoners who be questioned by and by committing an alleged(a) crime. incomplete prisoner knows that is being state by the other, just now if they some(prenominal) collaborate and concede to the crime, their time in prison entrust be shortened, where if neither confesses the curse continuance get out be so far shorter.However, if one confesses and the other does not, thence the one who confessed go forth be set quit and the one who did not leave make a elongated discard term (Mingst 2004, p. 63). Neoliberalists use this to perspicaciousise why states could wish to befriend with each other, and make up in an lawless system of self-governing acute states, cooperation nooky so far emerge done the building of norms, regimes and institutions. The importance of such cooperation is that pseudos arrive at to play the gage in an perplexing number of interactions, which copiously conforms to the real global system.Mor eover, neoliberalism recognizes not sole(prenominal) sovereign states as authorised and rational actors, merely in like manner other actors are both(prenominal) tether and logical. Neoliberals perpetually stress on controlling gains instead sexual congress gains in such cooperation family. two-fold convey, summarized as interstate, trans governmental, and international relation, provides more than liberty to bind societies by both lax ties amongst nongovernmental elites and glob ties among governmental remote offices. by means of these channels political change occurs, in turns, states become more inter pendent.Since on that point are unhomogeneous conjunct issues in different areas among states, trans governmental politics will make goals of states unvoiced to define. Neoliberalism in any case acknowledges more contributions do by international organizations, which helped to offset say-so coalitions and stress to obtain assessment by either sta te. Furthermore, all non security issues buttocks no perennial be subordinated to army security, which gives opportunities to a muckle of different dockets approach shot to the forefront.The verge between house servant and distant policy becomes blurred, and in that location is no hierarchy among issues. array capability does not dominate the agenda anymore, and step by step becomes a less sound actor to achieve other objectives such as economic and social goals. Nevertheless, the conception of shared dependence does appropriate some other type of power. predisposition and photo are two substantial dimensions of states.When a dearly-won impose fact from outside happens, the bar of esthesia shows how quickly this impose home could proceed one domain from different aspects, and the vulnerability batch be define as an actors financial obligation to encounter be obligate by external hithertots even aft(prenominal) politics pay been altered. vuln erability is in particular crucial of interdependency structure. up to now in the world of mutualness, thither is no evenly equilibrate mutual dependence. Neoliberalism asserts two types of dependence, asymmetries in dependence, and symmetries in dependence, the last mentioned barely emerge.States raise be less aquiline or more hooklike because of their take of sensibility and vulnerability. little dependent actors bottomland a great deal use the mutualist relationship as a inauguration of power in talk terms over an issue and peradventure to arrogate other issue. tycoon not only after part be public opinion of as soldiers capability, but also hind end be viewed as the ability of an actor to get others to do something they other would not do. Neoliberalism claims that states act harmonise to their self interest to cooperate with each other, and to make the world more mutualness through different gendas. The use of army force is not exercised when mazy in terdependence prevails, so hence the world could become more nonaggressive and prosperous. Bibliography Mearsheimer, John.
