11 Tips for Surviving a Miserable Job

11 Tips for Surviving a Miserable Job Work will be work, not play. That’s why it’s called work. However, there’s a contrast between work being work and working an extremely hopeless activity. We’ve all been there. Here are 11 different ways to endure it in a vocation you detest at any rate until you can get another one.1. Vent it OutAs long as you don’t do it at the workplace or with your associates or too freely (ahem, via web-based networking media), it tends to be a great thing to cause a ruckus and get your sentiments out into the open as opposed to allowing them to putrefy. On the off chance that you’ve effectively irritated your companions with your work fuss, attempt a gathering like jobvent.com.2. Acknowledge it’s Only TemporaryYou’re just stuck there until you can secure another position. Begin looking. The normal number of employments a run of the mill laborer has in their profession is developing to five. What's more, there is not, at this point a disgrac e about exchanging employments or professions like there used to be. Get out there and begin taking a shot at your resume and soon this bummer employment will be path in the past.3. Set aside a few minutes for YourselfAll work and no play will make you hopeless, regardless of what your work is. Ensure you’re dealing with yourself and setting aside effort to do things you find charming. In the event that you incorporate these exercises with your day, it’ll be significantly simpler to get through.4. Discover Something Fun in Your WorkdayGive yourself an every day treat at the workplace, regardless of whether that’s tuning in to music at your work area, purchasing yourselfâ a awesome lunch, monitoring your games group, playing the intermittent round of chess against your computer†¦ only something to separate the day. Discover something you like that will give you a couple of moments of fun among the drudgery.5. Keep LaughingYour comical inclination is your cl osest companion in harsh occasions. Don’t dismiss it. Some of the time chuckling truly is the best medication. Figure out how to keep a hang on point of view and continue giggling. Your circumstance is sensible and can be changed. Simply keep your jawline up and stay positive.6. Concentrate on Your Real LifeChances are you have bounty going on outside the workplace. Put your fundamental spotlight on that stuff for a change. Don’t accept your awful position home with you; go home at work and ensure your outside life is rich and fulfilling. Also, fun.7. Attempt to Do BetterIf you despise your activity, it’s presumably extremely difficult to inspire yourself to exceed expectations. In any case, being better at your specific employment will really assist you with moving occupations whether up the stepping stool at your present organization, or to another completely. Put your loathing vitality into working harder and your concern may very well fathom itself.8. Donâ⠂¬â„¢t Screw UpYou abhor your activity, yet the exact opposite thing you need to do is get terminated. Be doubly mindful so as not to place your activity in peril while you’re making sense of what to do straightaway. Whatever you do, don’t let your exhibition slip. You’ll most likely need a reference.9. Arrange a Fun Night OutGet your associates to all go bowling, or to a film, or to have a potluck excursion in the recreation center. Odds are they’re likely as hopeless as you are at work. Get together, share a few snickers, and feel somewhat better about life.10. Get HelpWorkplace stress can be a main consideration in misery. Verify whether your organization has an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) and get some expert assistance to oversee you. A glad specialist is increasingly beneficial, clearly. Furthermore, it never damages to work things out with the pros.11. Be PatientYour awful employment sucks, however you just need to adapt sufficiently long to g et another line of work. Dedicate yourself to that, yet leave the remainder of it at the workplace. You can get past 9-5 consistently for half a month until you discover something new. Keep it together.

Understanding the Intersection between Science, Technology, and Society

Understanding the Intersection between Science, Technology, and Society Just two hundred years ago the world looked so different. The majority of people’s lives was driven by the tangible. Science was considered mostly an academic notion and it was raising questions that bothered the minds of few.Technology used to be mainly in the hands of the governments and it was used to benefit the lives of people, in a way much different than it does today. And to a way lesser extent.Just thirty years ago if anyone had seen a person holding a device with the features of today’s latest iPhone, they could easily be mistaken for a magician or… an alien.Today we are so used to living with technology. Most of us are surrounded by smart devices, travel in futuristic vehicles. We read every day about the latest breakthrough of science and share our opinions over social media…Elon Musk sent a Tesla into space…We rarely stop to think how we became this way. Do we affect science and technology or do they affect us? How do we keep the balance? Is there a place for m orals when science and technology show us the ‘right‘ way?WHAT IS STS?The intersection between science, technology, and society (STS) is an academic discipline that studies how society and culture create science and how science affects society in return.As an academic concept of a new generation, it is considered to be an interdisciplinary subject and has been given multiple interpretations by various schools of thought.Several major universities have STS programs.Harvard’s programIn Harvard University, the program is considered to unite two major streams of scholarship. ST (Science and technology) and Society.‘Studies in this genre approach ST as social institutions possessing distinctive structures, commitments, practices, and discourses that vary across cultures and change over time.This line of work addresses questions like the   following: is there a scientific method; what makes scientific facts credible; how do new disciplines emerge; and how does science relate to re ligion?’And then the program would consider the questions of control over science and technology â€" is it needed, and where would the boundaries sit? They would try to identify the risks ST may present to ‘peace, security, community, democracy, environmental sustainability, and human values’.They would consider the questions of:‘How should the states set priorities for research funding?’‘Who should participate in technological decision-making and how?’‘Can and should life forms be patented?’‘How should societies measure risks and set safety standards?’‘Should experts communicate the reasons for their judgments to the public and how?’Cornell’s programIn Cornell, similarly to Harvard, the science is considered to be a unity between the fields of ST and its social dimensions. The program is focusing on studying how knowledge and technology happen within the context of the society, both today and in the retrospect of history.They study the progress of knowle dge from its conception, its transfer, and its transformation caused by societal relations. The way people interact with scientific knowledge â€" when they use it and when they identify a conflict with it.When science clashes with the societal norms, where does it fit?MIT’s programAccording to MIT, the academic discipline of STS should try and bring more understanding to the human-built world.A world, where science and technology are no longer constricted to the lab. They have penetrated our everyday lives and they cannot be contained in a separate field.They affect, and are intertwined, with nature, culture, and history.Berkeley’s programAt Berkeley, STS is considered to be a multidisciplinary field, dedicated to studying the creation of knowledge, the progress and the results that scientific and technological knowledge produce in other fields. They put greater focus on the way knowledge is created today.On ‘cutting-edge theoretical and conceptual inquiry, and engagement with public policy.’ Berkeley proudly quote STS as a science of a new generation.Stanford’s programIn Stanford, the program is considered an interdisciplinary science, with the only program that can offer both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree. It is considered to have a large scope, including concepts from:AnthropologyCommunicationComputer ScienceEducationElectrical EngineeringHistoryLawManagement Science and EngineeringPolitical Science and SociologyPrinceton’s programIn Princeton, the program focuses on the cause-and-effect relationship between society and technology. Technology is created by humanity, and comes back to change the way humanity develops. It is a cycle between the possible and the needed.It is a program for engineers and scientists but also for humanists and social-scientists who want to explore the ‘shaping,   development and deployment of technological solutions for the benefit of   society.’FOUR CASES OF INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETYIn this section we will give you four historic and scientific examples of the way science, technology and society influenced each other to create complex issues, that fall in the subject of STS.Where there was a conflict between science, technology and society.The case of Ford PintoPinto is a Ford model, manufactured and sold by the Ford Motor Company in the United States in the 1070s. It was marketed as the smallest Ford vehicle in The States since 1907, and it was supposed to be the first subcompact vehicle manufactured by the company in the country.The decisions involved in the model’s design spark a controversy, unheard of until this day. The issue involved mainly the design of the fuel system, and in particular, the placement of the fuel tank.To begin with, the Pinto was developed in a time of confusion caused by changes in standards for safety. Ford only opted for the 20 mph moving-barrier standard up until 1973, instead of the more stringent new 30 mph moving-bar rier standard and they objected to the new regulations.Next, the fuel tank of the Pinto was fit between the rear axle and the rear bumper by design, in order to comply with the standard design for subcompact cars.That position of the fuel tank would prove to be detrimental in high speed collision, when fuel leakage was caused, in some cases leading, tragically, to explosions killing the passengers. To make things worse, the rear was lacking structural reinforcement. The rear bumper was called ‘essentially ornamental’.Early crash tests of Ford models showed the vulnerability even at low speed clashes. Several proposals had been put forward by engineers to introduce changes to the design and make the vehicle safer, however, no ‘proven’ solutions had been reported. The crash results had been tagged ‘inconclusive’.In 1973, Fords Environmental and Safety Engineering division came up with a cost-benefit analysis called ‘Fatalities Associated with Crash Induced Fuel Leakage a nd Fires’ and later became known as the ‘Pinto Memo’. (The report has later become public because of the lawsuit against Ford) The report was required by the NHTSA (the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) in order to consider Ford’s objection to the more strict 30 mph moving-barrier safety standard. The report was created as per the safety evaluation standards of the NHTSA.This is what the famous Mother Jones article, the ‘Pinto Madness’ has to say about the Pinto Memo:‘Ever wonder what your life is worth in dollars? Perhaps $10 million? Ford has a better idea: $200,000… In order to be able to argue that various safety costs were greater than their benefits, Ford needed to have a dollar value figure for the “benefit.” Rather than be so uncouth as to come up with such a price tag itself, the auto industry pressured the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to do so. And in a 1972 report the agency decided a human life was worth $200,725…[lat er] rounded off to a cleaner $200,000, in an internal Ford memorandum…This cost-benefit analysis argued that Ford should not make an $11-per-car improvement that would prevent 180 fiery deaths a year… The memo argues that there is no financial benefit in complying with proposed safety standards that would admittedly result in fewer auto fires, fewer burn deaths and fewer burn injuries…’1974, the NHTSA was petitioned by the Center for Auto Safety petitioned to recall Ford Pintos because of their faulty fuel system design that has allegedly resulted in three deaths and four serious injuries in rear-end collisions at moderate speeds.The NHTSA concluded:‘1971â€"1976 Ford Pintos have experienced moderate speed, rear-end collisions that have resulted in fuel tank damage, fuel leakage, and fire occurrences that have resulted in fatalities and non-fatal burn injuries The fuel tank design and structural characteristics of the 1975â€"1976 Mercury Bobcat which render it identical to contemporary Pinto vehicles, also render it subject to like consequences in rear impact collisions.’Ford proceeded to voluntarily recall the Pinto vehicles in advance to the NHTSA publishing an official order for it, fearing additional damage to the companys public reputation. Ford recalled 1.5 million cars from the Ford Pinto model and the Mercury Bobcat.The recall would become the largest recall in automotive history at the time. Ford would never admit the fault in the fuel system. Rather, they would claim the recall was done to ’end public concern that has resulted from criticism of the fuel systems in these vehicles.’More than a hundred lawsuits were brought against the company in result of the accumulated rear-end accidents of the Pinto model.There you have it. Our first case of intersection between science, technology and society. It is a claim that brought up several important questions to society:Can there ever be a price put on a human’s life?Are there companies th at are doing the same in a less public way today?How much safety is enough safety?With Big Data, we may have a way to calculate the investments in safety measures, and cross-check with the risks, resulting in a comparative analysis of how much each public company values human life. Should we publish those findings, even if we do not have proof of ill intentions?Were Ford justified in their actions because they have calculations and prices to pursue?The case of social media and privacySocial media have become intertwined with our everyday lives. We use it to text, post our photos, our statuses, share lifetime events, such as taking your driver’s license exam, or giving birth.We use it to find, share and comment news. To educate ourselves. To take surveys, to get information. To listen to or create music. To consume or produce videos. We use it to make business connections and network. To apply for jobs and research employers.We know we benefit. And we are not balanced in our opinio ns of the gains and the cost. We may think about our privacy but we don’t think much before we sacrifice it for entertainment. And we rarely even consider the risks on our personal security.In the age of data mining, advanced analysis of human conduct in interpersonal organizations can be performed without breaching private information. Yet social media rarely take measures to safeguard the user. Protection is extremely scrutinized.And individuals are very eager to forego some privacy and expose themselves to an adequate level of danger.Statistics tell us that users are most cautious about their use of Facebook. As the most scrutinized social network in the news, they also provide the most ways for protection:Restrict the visibility of the active usersSet the control on how others can find youBlock the users for their photo tagSet login AlertsBlock Spam UsersControl who can message youBut not all popular social networks follow suit. None of the three, Twitter, LinkedIn, nor Google + offer the same options for protection.Users who do not protect their profiles leave themselves exposed to various attacks:Privacy BreachPassive AttacksActive AttacksPrivacy concerns are very weak in society and the methods provided by social media to conquer those are ineffective. A user’s attempts to take measures about keeping their social media privacy is considerably lower than other types of security operations within the company.Moreover, the majority of social media users are not educated about the risks of exposing their private data in social media, and the social media companies are not taking the appropriate measures to educate them or to make privacy management adequately easy or understandable.Multiple shortcomings and setbacks can be identified on the technical side of privacy and safety measures.It is obvious that some policies that can be enforced, aren’t. Even though social media companies realize the benefits of those for security, they do the cross-analysis with convenience for the users and consciously take the choice NOT to force them to:Use a strong passwordChanging passwords oftenRequire antivirus or related softwareKeeping up with high security measuresAnd there you have our second case of intersection between science, technology and society. Here, we can also distill several important questions:Are social media networks doing a cross-analysis between convenience and security?Should social media networks be forced to impose the rules of higher security or should they keep the convenience to the user?Should social media networks work harder to inform the user of the security risks even if it is damaging to their business?Are they the best actors to perform that education?The case of technology affecting politicsOr in other words, the case of Cambridge Analytica.In line with the previous case, it is once again a matter of data and social networks. But this time we are looking at the way an, at first glance, legitimate technology has come to sway an election in the most powerful democracy on Planet Earth.March 2018. A whistleblower reports to The Observer that Cambridge Analytica, a company owned by Robert Mercer, and headed by Steve Bannon, has had unauthorized access to the personal information of millions of Facebook users, and used that access to sway the public opinion towards the, then, candidate for the president, Donald Trump, back in 2014.‘We exploited Facebook to harvest millions of people’s profiles. And built models to exploit what we knew about them and target their inner demons. That was the basis the entire company was built on.’ â€" says Christopher Wylie.The data was collected via an app, called this is your digital life. Hundreds of thousands of users were profiting by the app, taking a personality test and submitting an agreement for their data to be collected for academic use.That permission, of course, was overstepped. The app also collected data from the social media profiles of its users’ friends, exploiting a vulnerability in Facebook’s security policy and exponentially growing its reach to tens of millions of people.The scandal is an example of unprecedented data harvesting, and it raises valid questions about the role Facebook and other social media may have on serious political events such as the US presidential election. Moreover, it comes only weeks after indictments of thirteen Russian nationals by Robert Mueller with accusations they used the platform to ‘perpetrate “information warfare” against the US.’The whistleblower had collected a dossier with proof of the data harvesting from back in 2014 and presented it to the authorities. The documents contained a letter from Facebook from 2016 acknowledging the network was aware of the issue. A lawyer, representing the network was asking Cambridge Analytica to immediately delete the data they had acquired without authorization.Cambridge Analytica had spent nearly a million dollars to collect the data.‘The algorithm and database together  made a powerful political tool. It allowed a campaign to identify possible swing voters and craft messages more likely to resonate.’And there you have our third case of intersection between science, technology and society. Our questions:If big data analysis can be used to sway public opinions in democratic elections, should any attempts be done to restrict the technology?If Cambridge Analytica was used to sway public opinion, but not to directly affect the votes, should they face any legal issues whatsoever?Can we put a price on any of the two â€" fair elections and technological progress? And is there any way to compare their value for our life today?See how The Observer’s whistleblower answers those questions: The case of Genetic engineeringThe last case we will review will have a more humble representation in our article, because it has, so far, not been related to any public scandals.Is genetic engineering moral? If we look in ret rospect, we can start the answer by saying so far it has been mostly beneficial.It involves directly manipulating the genes of a given organism. While humanity has long been using another form of manipulation, selective breeding, being able to modify or mutate a given gene or DNA at will, speeds up the process significantly.Those experiments so far have not been reported to bring along significantly unwanted results and at the same time they have considerably contributed to scientific discoveries about how DNA works.With great power comes great responsibility, however. There is a case to be made against genetic engineering of humans. The ability to improve our DNA is followed by the shadow of eugenics.If we are capable of ‘producing’ better humans, would that raise questions about disposing of the worse, faulty ones? Creating artificial, objective superiority is a dangerous science.And there you have our fourth case of intersection between science, technology and society. Our qu estions:If we are capable of producing a generation without cancer, autism, multiple sclerosis and disabilities, isn’t it our responsibility to do so, and spare future children from the suffering of disease?And on the other hand, can we afford the risk to dive into the unknown and leave as a legacy to our next generation to sort through the conflict between the ‘superior’ and the ‘inferior’ â€" a conflict we, as a society, have proven multiple times to be too immature to handle?CONCLUSIONWhether we like it or not, science and technology are here to stay. And it is not a good idea to try to constrict them or hinder them.We need the future, we need the Internet of things. We want our devices to be interconnected and to help us in our lives and to make them easier. And we want technology to penetrate the health industry. We need that direly.This is where the need of studying STS is most obvious. Someone must ask the difficult questions. And prepare the society for the heavy m oral dilemmas and risks that come with progress.Only time can tell if STS will be a fruitless attempt to put thought in our natural progress that will eventually disintegrate our society and kill us, or it will prepare the society and help it mature for a future without conflict between humanity and technology.

Capital Punishment Should Be Eliminated - 1679 Words

Throughout the history of humanity, punishments have been in place for the wrongful acts of citizens within governmental systems of all kinds. In America during the early days of the country, the death penalty was a more viable solution than it appears today due to the quality of the prisons, which couldn’t sustain prisoners long-term. (Von Drehle, 2015). Today, this is not an issue with prisons that are provided both by the state and federal governments and that are fully capable of holding offenders throughout the length of a life sentence (Von Drehle, 2015). However, many will argue that capital punishment should be eliminated. Foes of the death penalty are split into two groups with one that argues that capital punishment should and will cease based upon public support, that it doesn’t deter crime, and the current processes of executions are too costly and problematic. The other will take a more humanitarian approach and claim that it is not the role of the governme nt to decide the fate of an individual, and that crimes punishable by death are not justifiable. Determent, morals, severity of the crime, and revenge are among the many arguments that are geared in favor of protecting a centuries old government system. These groups give more pragmatic reasons as arguments.

The Ideal Body Of America Eating Disorders - 2152 Words

Nicole Snyder Mrs. Boyce Adv. Comp/Intro 18 Sept 2016 The Ideal Body In America eating disorders are a pressing issue and are growing in popularity among women of all ages. These eating disorders are caused by many factors including one s body image which is influenced by a person environment. A big influence on women s body image today is fashion and media, many women look to magazines, television, and celebrities to get tips on beauty and the perfect body. The one problem with media is the size of models has declined immensely over the years to a very slim size.

Although it was not always ideal to be slim the growing use of slender models in fashion and media has impacted women s body image caused women to become more dissatisfied with their bodies and develop eating disorders. Women are impacted by the women they see on television and movies which in most cases are very slim. Along with televis ion, slender women are seen in advertisements are seen in magazines and billboards which reach women every day. Fashion is also known to commonly use very slender models since the turn of the century. Slender models are used in all aspects of fashion from runway shows to online shopping.

Darwins Contribution to Science Free Essays

Darwin’s Contribution to Science Eric Nash Bio-Literature Dr. Slovak 04/15/2013 When one ponders the current understanding of evolution and natural selection and where it came from, many names may come to mind. However, the man who gave us the idea of natural selection in the first place was none other than Charles Darwin. We will write a custom essay sample on Darwins Contribution to Science or any similar topic only for you Order Now While Darwin was not the only one conducting research of this kind, his name stands out as a driving force behind our current understanding of evolution. Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 to Robert and Susanna Darwin. Darwin’s father Robert was a physician, much as his paternal grandfather Erasmus Darwin. Charles Darwin studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but quickly found that his future lay on a different path. Darwin eventually attended Cambridge University, between 1828 – 1831, where he graduated with the intention of becoming a clergyman. In those days, a clergyman was a general lover of all things natural and could be called by some, the original biologists. Very soon after, indeed the same year as his graduation, Darwin was invited to go along with Captain Robert Fitzroy on a voyage aboard The Beagle. His main role was to be the resident naturalist. During the voyage, Darwin was expected to gather samples and make observations in order to send back to England for classification. Little did Darwin know that the voyage would last five years. While Darwin is known mostly for his work on the Galapagos Islands, he only spent five weeks of his five year journey on the islands. Most of his work was on mainland South America. Through his collection of fossils, skins, skeletons, and various other samples, Darwin was able to postulate about isolation and change within a species. Darwin spent years after his voyage on The Beagle, cataloguing specimens, consulting with colleagues, and getting everything in order to make sure that he had the best support for his theories. It wasn’t until he read an economic report by Malthus that describes population growth and decline are based on various factors such as famine or disease (James, 1979), that Darwin began to put together the pieces of what he had learned from his voyage and study. Malthus’ work helped Darwin to understand that under specific conditions, favorable variations would tend to be preserved while unfavorable characteristics would be destroyed. Darwin began to work on a report outlining his theory of evolution through natural selection, but never published them. In 1856, Charles Lyell convinced Darwin to start working on a book detailing his work. Darwin didn’t put a great deal of effort into a book until after 1858, when Alred Russel Wallace sent a letter to Darwin, explaining in almost identical fashion to Darwin’s work, evolution by natural selection. After two presentations at the Linnean Society, in which two of Darwin’s papers and one from Wallace was used, Darwin began his work on, â€Å"On the Origin of the Species. † This was a smaller version of the larger book he was intending on writing and was published in 1859 where it immediately became a scientific sensation. Many scientists argued against Darwin’s work claiming that evolution was a product of major sudden changes which caused large mutations. These scientists were known as â€Å"saltationists†. The major argument was the fact that the earth was not old enough for gradualism, or evolution through small steps, to have occurred. It wasn’t until Mendel’s work on genetics in 1856 that Darwin’s theories really began to take hold. It took all the way until the 1930’s before gradualism was widely accepted. Ultimately, Darwin was not fully vindicated until the last half of the 20th century in which DNA and genes were better understood. Although much of Darwin’s later years were spent in illness, he continued to work. After â€Å"On the Origin of the Species† was written, he continued to work on human descent from earlier animals including the evolution of societies and mental abilities. He also did some work to explain the decorative beauty of wildlife and plant life such as his work in 1861 into wild orchids. He showed that an adaptation in their flower petals to attract specific moths in order to ensure cross pollination. He then wrote â€Å"Fertilisation of Orchids† in 1862 where he detailed the power of natural selection to clarify compound ecological interactions and made testable predictions. Darwin went on with, â€Å"The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex,† where he Darwin proposed evidence from many sources citing that humans are animals. He explained that sexual selection can describe unreasonable characteristics such as differences between the sexes of various racial differences while emphasizing that all humans are the same species. Darwin was also pleased by this time that his theories did not meet the criticism that they once did commenting that â€Å"†everybody is talking about it without being shocked† (Darwin, 1887). After Darwin’s demise, many geographical features and landmarks were named after him. Captain Robert Fitzroy named Darwin Sound in commemoration of Darwin’s quick thinking in saving The Beagle from being sunk when a large glacier created a wave that would have decimated their boats. In the Andes, there is Mount Darwin, so named during the celebration of Darwin’s 25th birthday. More than 120 species and nine genera have been named after Darwin. A group of tanagers found in the Galapagos Islands became known as Darwin’s finches, which ironically, has promoted a great deal of inaccuracies about Darwin’s work. There is even a Darwin Day in England. Darwin’s contribution to science is not insignificant. While not knowing where his theories would lead, he inadvertently became the father of evolution through natural selection. His ideas revolutionized the way scientists thought, thus leading to what we know today. Although, the presence of people such as Alred Russel Wallace goes to show that the truth was out there already, it simply needed the tenacity of a man like Darwin to do the work and publish those finding. Charles Darwin put in the time and effort to voyage on The Beagle in order to make everything we know today, possible. While I believe that a truth is a truth and all it needs is someone to find it, without those people, where would we be? Darwin himself once said, â€Å"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. † References Darwin, Charles (1887).

Henry Lawson Speech free essay sample

The two Australian composers, Henry Lawson and Russel Dyrysdale effectively convey two powerful yet contrasting images of characters and the way the environment can inpact their sense of isolation and hardship in there respective composition of the same title ‘The Drovers Wife’ . The different forms allow each of the composers to create an intensly visual experience for the responder and encourage a sense of personal connection to the subject. The techniques used by Lawson including, powerful textual imagery, onomateopoia, narrative structure and juxtapostion convey the character and the experiences of the drovers wife. Lawson’s story evoked a strong desire in Drysdale to bring his own interpretation of these images and bring them to life though the use of colour, salience and visual metaphor. Therefore both composers use there own form to convey meaning through distinctively visual images. Henry Lawson creates a distinctively visual image for the responder of extreme isolation and hardship though stong element of descriptive language. We will write a custom essay sample on Henry Lawson Speech or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page These language devices allow the drover’s wife character to be fully revealed as a three dimensional character, allowing us to feel emathy for her emotions and experiences. The effect of the hardships of the environment on the drover’s wife is clearly seen through Lawson’s description of her physical appearance, â€Å"The gaunt sun-browned bush women†. This is further reinforced by the brutal and comfronting imagery used to portray her children as having a â€Å"ragged, dried up look†. Powerful imagery of the physical toll on this â€Å"once young city woman† is effective in establishing a strong impression of the woman battling against isolation in the bush. This juxtapostion of this distinctively visual impression of her appearence in the depiction of her â€Å"Sitting with her sewing basket and a copy of the young ladies journal†. This seeming paradox of the bush women who has been physically and metally shaped by her surroundings and her feminine side, makes the responder build an image of the drover’s wife as more than a one dimensional woman which is suggested by Lawsons decision not to give her a name. As with Lawson, Drysdale has used techniques to illustrate the effects of isolation on an individual. However, the salience of the subject in the frame and her clear facial features which stare out at the viewer encourages them to have an immediate personal connection with the subject though the eye contact. The size of her in proportion to the rest of the frame suggest her dominace over the environment. The use of light and shade to illuminate her face acts as a focal point pushing the responder to engage with her as an individual, who despite the difficulties is still standing strong, in this way the texts both reflect the drover’s wife as a woman of substance. Strength of the drovers wife character is further reinforced by Lawson though the use of flashbacks were she recalls past events such as bush fire, dam floodings and a child’s death. Different time frames create distinct tension and allow the responder to visualise the danger the character faces. The use of short sentences further builds the tension of the climax of the story. In this point of the narrative. As the mother and her children wait for the snake to emerge â€Å"the dog lies still and the woman sits as one facinated†, â€Å"the snake comes out a foot further†. Lawson effectively places the reader in the scene though the effective use of auditory imagery inviting us to experience the necessary violence of the snakes death at the hands of the drovers wife. â€Å"Thud, thud – the snake’s back is broken in several places. Thud, thud – its head crushed†. This use of onomatopoeia evokes a strong visual image of the dramatic scene, as the drovers wife kills the snake that has held her family hostage. This makes us feel as if were can hear the sounds in our head and we are apart of this brutal act. While Lawson has used these language elements in a intense way to create the visual image, Drysdale’s distinctive visual portral of isolation and a difficult environment is effectively conveyed though colour and visual metaphor. Drysdale incorporates the iconic ochre coloured ground that reaches the the horizon but dulls the tone to suggest an evironment which saps the energy and life out of it effectively establishes a hostile environment. The visual metaphor of the ‘Skeletal trees’ suggesting isolation, death and a barren ladscape is in stark contrast to Lawson’s listing of â€Å"The everlasting, maddening, sameness of the shunted trees. † Lawson and Drysdale show how powerful distinctively visual images of characters and environment can be established though language forms and features and visual forms and features. These forms and features lead the responder to feel, see and connect to two different views ofone woman’s experience of living in the outback.
