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.

Ang pag-ibig free essay sample

We live in a time where entrepreneurship is finally a focus of a significant number of colleges and universities, and is even reaching into high schools. The question I have is: why has it taken so long for schools to recognize the importance of, and start teaching, students about entrepreneurship? I am proud to say that I learned a lot from my Entrepreneurship subject specially when you start a business you must start small and end more profit. And specially when Sir Abog said that when you start a business we must have first a business planning execution is where the money is at. Write something short, sweet and to the point and get on with it. I always preach about my One Paragraph Start Up Plan as the best way to get started. I learned also on how Strategic partners are not always good ideas. Before you bring on anyone as a business partner, determine if truly partnering is the best option. We will write a custom essay sample on Ang pag-ibig or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Decide if alternatives such as sharing revenue or doing a joint venture are a better fit. Make sure you know everything about the person you wish to partner with, from their political backgrounds to their business ethics. And if you decide to go  ahead and bring on a partner, be sure to create an operating agreement that clearly states what happens in every possible outcome—from a partner leaving to a partner dying. I learned also on how business growth happens in real time. I learned also, no matter how successful you are, accept that you will fail again. Failure is good. It will be your guide to smarter, better decisions. The faster you realize that your business will never be perfect and there is no such thing as smooth sailing, youll grow as a leader as a result. Learned also practice strategic thinking not planning. The best plans can be made obsolete in a minute. I learned also that Entrepreneurship majors learn how to build, promote, and manage their own businesses. They also learn how to apply their creativity and energy to make existing businesses more productive. Learned on how nearly all entrepreneurship programs will require you to take a class in developing a business plan the backbone behind any idea. Your plan will discuss your dream business, your goals, and how you plan to achieve them. A plan will show other professionals how good your idea really is. It will also come in handy when you go looking for money to get started. Banks and investors will want to see it before handing over the funds. I realized that if high schools focused on entrepreneurship, freedom would rule the campus. Entrepreneurship gives students, adults, and even children the ability to express themselves. It would give us the opportunity to see how brilliant young minds really can be and the types of ideas, visions, and goals they have. High school entrepreneurship promotes students to focus less on curriculum and more on their passions, which makes the learning experience fun and far more engaging. By focusing on entrepreneurship, students would truly have the option to pursue their dreams. Passion would be the driving force behind what the reality of a future career or advanced education would mean. High schools would be a place to foster creativity and interest, giving students the opportunity to take action and responsibility for creating their future. I learned also what are Business practices about general business practices that are recommended in maintaining the appropriate accountability structure. I learned also on how to cooked Special Bihon, how to sale into the costumers, how to be a good and nice to the costumers. Entrepreneurship subject helps me how to be a future Entrepreneurship soon , helps to learned Business economic development to our country. Learned also what are the 8 consumers rights like Right to Basic Needs, Right to Safety, Right to Information, Right to Choose, Right to Representation, Right to Redress, Right to Consumer Education, and the last Right to a Healthy Environment. Actually I learned a lot in our Entrepreneurship subject and I am thankfull of our beloved teachers Mr. Marjun Abog and also Dr. Lita Ladera-Jomoc for teaching us on how to be a good Entrepreneurship.

Free Essays on Prohibition

Causes and Effects Of the Prohibition Since at least the turn of the century, reformers had been denouncing alcohol as a danger to society as well as to the human body. The true feeling behind this thought was that the use of alcohol was due to the influence of the city. The first American colonists started out with the belief that city life was wicked and evil, whereas country and village life were good (Sinclair 10). Later, during the war, the idea of prohibition was a way of keeping the country patriotic, and thus strong. A common phrase was â€Å"A drunk worker is not a productive worker† (McDonnel 394). Throughout history, there were many reasons to push a Prohibition amendment; however, though many of the causes for Prohibition were honorable, most of the effects did more harm for America than good. The first section of the Eighteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, â€Å"After one year from the ratification of this article, the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.† What this meant was, it was illegal to make, transport, or sell alcoholic beverages in the United States. Lasting almost fourteen years, the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed in December of 1933, when the Twenty-First Amendment was ratified under Franklin D. Roosevelt. In this short time, America underwent a great transformation due to the new law. There were many causes for the Prohibition movement. One main cause was religious revivalism. Prohibition was a result of the Protestant communities action to assert its dominant position in the nation’s culture. They believed that once this was achieved, the whole nation would be under the sway of Protestant moral values. Social reform was another reason Prohibition was supported. â€Å"Prohibition was an at... Free Essays on Prohibition Free Essays on Prohibition The ‘noble experiment’ of Prohibition left a lasting impact on the United States of America despite its relatively short existence. The 18th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in January of 1919 and prohibited the sale, manufacture and transportation of liquor in the United States one year after ratification. The Volstead Act of 1920 enforced the 18th Amendment of the Constitution and began the era of prohibition that concluded in 1933. The issue of alcohol consumption and distribution was a long-standing one in the United States. However, the introduction of Prohibition coupled with the social problems of the time lead to a dark spot in American history. A combination of social problems and Prohibition lead to the rise of organized crime, and organized crimes most feared gangster, Al Capone. This paper will discuss the impact of Prohibition on the United States and the emergence of organized crime, and in particular, Al Capone. Prohibition was introduced in the United States for a vast number of reasons. Prohibition was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisoners and poorhouses, and to improve the health and hygiene in America. Traynor also indicates the entry of America into World War I in 1917 also increased the pressure on the government to introduce a federal ban on alcohol. The problems faced by the nation that lead to the introduction of Prohibition seem far to complex to be solved by a ban on alcohol. However, there was a definite excitement that surrounded Prohibition and the anticipated results of its introduction. This excitement is no more evident that in Reverend Billy Sunday’s speech in which he predicted that ‘the reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and corncribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile and children will l augh. Hell will be for... Free Essays on Prohibition This essay deals with the Prohibition that was in effect in the United States between 1920 and 1933. The essay focuses on the reasons that the Eighteenth Amendment, which put Prohibition into effect, was eventually repealed. The thesis is that though the `Noble Experiment' had some good effects, the drawbacks, real and perceived eventually convinced Americans that the country was better off without Prohibition and enabled them to rapidly move to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. The causes of repeal that are focused on in this essay are the fact that Prohibition was unenforceable; the fact that the public began to lose confidence in the success of Prohibition; and the fact that anti-prohibitionists capitalized on this lack of confidence to eventually spur the public toward repeal. The conclusion reached at the end is a rather philosophical one. When all the evidence has been reviewed concerning the problems with Prohibition, the benefits of the same, and the way public opinion changed, it becomes clear that in a democratic society such as the one in which this prohibition was attempted, the will of the people is paramount. If the people of a democratic nation decide to do something to change their situation, they will. This is first seen in the enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment. Later, when public sentiment changed to the reverse of what it had been, Americans were able to quickly reverse what they had done, even though it was the sacrosanct act of changing the Constitution. Table of Contents Introduction Unenforceability Changing Public Opinion Uncertainty Repeal Conclusion Bibliography Introduction On January 17, 1920, at 12:01 AM, the Volstead Act went into effect all over the United States.

Free Essays on Prohibition Prohibition and the 1920’s The 1920’s are often described as the decade of contrast and conflicts. It was a decade that some would say was the worst decade in American history. The 18th amendment to the constitution was passed by congress in 1917. It was ratified by three fourths of the states by 1919. This amendment prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the United States of America. Prohibition was officially underway. The Volsted Act of 1919 defined an alcoholic beverage clearly as any beverage with an alcoholic content of greater than .5 %. This made it illegal to sell and manufacture all liquor and beer. (Shultz 1) Prohibition was a phenomenon during the 20’s. It was not however the first campaign against alcohol, but it was by far the most successful. There had been numerous anti-alcohol campaigns during the colonial period. None of which were as successful as the national prohibition laws in the 20’s. For example in 1851 the Maine Law prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcohol in the state of Maine. By 1855 thirteen other states had adopted similar laws. During the Civil War alcoholic beverages were not allowed in the union army as a way to ration grain. Leaders of the social movements tried to justify their views against alcohol with scientific evidence. Temperance advocates founded the Scientific Temperance Journal after the Civil War. Children’s textbooks depicted human organs degenerating from and over abundance of alcoholic beverages being consumed. In the 1870’s the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) promoted the use of public education for the cause of temperance. They were very successful with that. By 1902 every state and territory except for Arizona had a law requiring temperance instruction in public schools. They argued that immigrants were inferior to the Americans because they allow their children to drink alcohol at...

Imagine the reaction of people across the United States if President Bush were to come on television one day and tell the American people that there will be no more alcohol distributed, sold, or consumed in the U.S anymore. This was a reality on January 19, 1920 when the 18th amendment was passed into effect. II.

Interest rates & stocks Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Interest rates & stocks - Essay Example By using these values the current price of XYZ stock has been calculated and it is equal to $12.85. Po is the actual share price and P is the calculated stock price and when these two prices are compared, there is a huge difference between the two prices as the value of Po is equal to $76.28 and value of P is $12.85. There can be several reasons for the difference between the actual price of XYZ stock and the calculated price. One major reason could be the difference between the demand and supply of stock as in reality the demand of XYZ stock would be very high which might have increased the actual price of the stock and for this reason the stock has been overvalued. Also the other reason might be that people might expect the company to perform better in future and this is the reason why they would like to buy the stock of XYZ and this would have increased the price of the stock as well. As the market risk premium has increased from 7.5% to 10%, so this would change the return of XYZ stock as well. The new return can be found using CAPM equation and the new required return with the changed market risk premium would be 18.525%. By using the value of new required return of XYZ stock in Constant Growth Model the value of XYZ’s share price has been calculated. The new price is $7.75. The new price is lower than the price calculated previously because the market risk has increased and investors would like to have more return on the stock. So in order to get more return either the return or dividend should increase or the price of the stock should decrease, since dividend is constant therefore the price of the stock has decreased. The share price of XYZ Company calculated using the P/E method is different than the share price calculated using constant growth model and the reason behind this difference in estimated share price is that these methods are used to estimate the share price and at times one method would give

The sound quality is good, the connectivity is good, the apps are good, there is always room to explore more and the touch is just perfect. However, I would have preffered a better quality camera. Going by the interview, the interviewee is extremely brand loyal to Apple more than the iPhone. He does not feel like shifting to any brand. He has been completely taken over by Apple. The brand equity of Apple in the smart phone market is very strong. It pioneered the concept of touch phones and is still ruling the roost in terms of market share.

They are based on various demographic and psychographic factors.Where apple is concerned, it is important to look into its product strategy to figure out its market segmentations. They don’t just build a product with every possible feature in the world. They target specific user experiences and then the product is build. So Apple has segmented itself according to the user experiences and their demands vis a vis of its customers. It developed its brand equity over time by building on the product. consider the evolution of ipod shuffle to ipod nano. Then they went to tweak the iPod Touch into an iPhone. Each of these product evolutions were successful and spoke volumes about what the company thought of its customers.

Psychology for Social Work Practice

Psychology for Social Work Practice Child development is the process of human growth and changes from birth through adolescence (Smith et al 2005). It is the study of how children develop perception, thought processes, emotional reactions and patterns of social behaviour (Mussein, 1990). Observation is a vital tool in analysing and understanding child development and holds key implication of effectiveness of social work practice in recent year (McKinnon 2008). The aim of this report is to analyse my observation of a two years three month old girl. My interpretation of the behaviour observed will be analysed critically using psychological theories with detail of the steps carried out in other to gain consent for the observation. Furthermore, the skills required for my observation will be described, in relation to my future practice, and some relevant psychological theories; stages of human development will be discussed including their relevance. Finally I will reflect on my learning and how it applies to social work as a profession. Child and Family Confidentiality Prior to the observation being conducted, I familiarized myself with the General Social Care Council (GSCC) (2002) Code of Practice to enable me to carry out the observation in a professional way. The child chosen for observation is my colleagues friends daughter, at the preliminary stage, I requested if I could observe her child for my coursework. My observers mother informed me she would discuss the issue with her husband and get back to me. A few days later, I was invited to meet both parents and was able to explain the aim of my assignment. Having explained my aim, I assured them that confidentiality will be maintained; their daughters identity will not be disclosed. I reassured the couple that their privacy will be respected and the daughters wellbeing will be paramount throughout. Consequently, I was given a verbal consent by both parents with approved signatures on the letter of agreement. Child Details As stated above, for anonymity, the childs name will not be mentioned, but will be referred to as Child A for the purpose of confidentiality as stated in GSCC 2002 section (2). Child A is a two years, three month old female. The observation took place at Child As family residence; she is the second child of the family, the only female, lives with her parents and her older brother of which the family composition is middle class, the aim of the observation is to observe Child As behaviour and also to learn how different behaviours relate to different theories. Skills required for structured observation Planning, respect, communication, working as partnership, reflection, listening and being focused are necessary skills required in carrying out structured observation. In Childs A selection process, I established a relationship of collaborative/partnership work between myself and Child As parents, listening to Child A communication with her family during observation has given me the insight of the importance of attentive listening through structured observation (CDWC 2007a: 7-8). The need to be focused by looking closely at Child A and not deviating from my aim has made me to understand how child learns and develop (HNCRC 2007). I also use reflective skills for child observation, as it enables me to reflect on what I have seen and provide accurate record of child behaviour (Wood et al 2005). Psychological theories and their relevance to social work practice Psychologists have defined behaviour in terms of bodily processes and social psychology defines it in terms of peoples interactions. For example Skinner (1953) believes that behaviour modification is based on operant conditioning and it is a way of assisting someone to change their unacceptable behaviour by offering a reward or punishment. From my observation in (Appendix week1), Child A, cries whenever she needs any item from Child B, she is aware of the attention gained whenever she cries and this will result in her getting what she wants. However, this behaviour could have negative consequences as well. Skinner will relate Child As behaviour as an operant conditioning, as Child A continues to cry for her older brothers toys, having known that her behaviour leads to a particular consequences. She behaves this way as she receives attention from her brother by always getting back the toys she wanted, which is reinforcement with reward, a behaviourist perspective. On the other hand, the study of behaviour by Bandura (1977) a Social perspective would disagree with Skinner, as Skinner would say that Child As behaviour is observational based on learning imitation. Child A may have seen someone at her school or a social gathering displaying such behaviour and so copies the same behaviour. Bandura (1971) suggested that learning moral rules by the individual is not in response to their exposure to punishment or reward, but by observing the behaviour of other people (Nicolson et al 2006: 23).This relates to Child As behaviour in (Appendix week1) and shows how the end result may not be as significant as the behaviourist perspective would have believed. As a professional social worker, working with people from different backgrounds it is important to have knowledge of psychological theories as its a vital tool that can be used to understand and interpret behaviour in social work practice. Also social workers need to have a wide knowledge of different cultures and be sure when they are applying psychological perspectives they have an objective mind taking into account individual differences such as ethical, cultural and religious. Stages of human development and its relevance to social work practice. The study of human development is the progressive behavioural changes in an individual from birth. Psychologists have identified the changes that occur at a similar age for most children, from research and evidence, these changes are dependent to some extent on maturation, although certain environmental factors must be present for development to take place and so its difficult to decide whether the appearance of a new ability is simply due to learning or maturation (Woods 2000:5). For instance, Jean Piaget (1932) cited in Wood (2000) proposes that children think differently from adults, their knowledge is structured differently and shows their understanding developed in the following stages: First stage is the Sensory Motor Stage (Birth to 18 months) At this first stage the child watches moving object, reach out towards it and is able to grab the object, the child will put the object in the mouth and try to explore it by biting and smelling. Second stage is Pre-Operational Stage (18 months- 7 years old) During this stage the language are developed using words and expression, which enable the child to talk about things and express ideas. Third stage is Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years) The child is able to centre more logical thinking and able to understand that it is possible for there to be two different view of the same thing at the same time and able to decentre. While the final stage is Formal Operational Stage (11 years and older) The child can manipulate ideas in its head, for example being able to calculate by thinking through imagining the impossible sequence. From cognitive perspective, Piaget also believed that the environment can affect childs development but, argued that it will not prevent a child from skipping the cognitive development stage. However, he would have interpreted Child As behaviour, as due to the fact that she is in the pre-operational stage and she demonstrates this behaviour by using ability and memory. Her thinking is in a non-logical manner as she suddenly cries for her mothers attention in other to get what she wants (Woods 2000:227-231). Relevance to social work practice The relevance of this observation to social work practise is that the use of theories would help to understand individuals behaviour. As a result social workers need to acquire skills and knowledge to enable them to understand the reason why a particular event occurs. To achieve this, social workers need to be aware of sensitive issues around them (Thompson 2005). However this observation process increased my understanding of Child A; as a very happy chid, to appreciate her skills and unique qualities and to come into her world and see things from her perspective (Faulkner, 1995). This has become so relevant, as the failing of professionals in the Laming Report (2003) highlights; which emphasises the need for professionals to move the focus away from the parents and back to the child (Copper, 2005). Reflect on my experience In reflecting on my role on child observation, I have learnt how to focus my attention and reflect on it afterwards, trying to make my presence less obvious. It is good practice to avoid assumption and being non-judgemental is vital. Each individual is different and their needs must be tailored to individual requirements. I now understand that self-reflection is a continuous process during observation, which is to reflect on what I am doing and reflect on my reaction and interpretation of what took place by thinking, writing and recording report. Payne (1997) defines reflection as to imagine alternative ways to understand situations using observation. In addition, looking into different theories and perspectives has given me the insight into how they can be applied to practice. Children also need to be encouraged to join in to activities that they may not be interested in, taking into account their reasons for not interacting. I have also learnt that children use gesture to express what they want to say if they are not in the mood to speak. This is of an interest to me as I want to work with children with special needs who are not able to communicate through speaking and use their behaviour as a way of communicating instead. As such this assignment has made me feel a little more confident in approaching people. Conclusion In conclusion, I have learnt greatly through observation and reading. I have realised that working from ones own personal perspective can be oppressive and it is better to use different perspectives in dealing with individuals. I have also gained knowledge on behaviourism and how it can be used to relate to childrens behaviour which is relevant to social work practice and not to have general assumption about children as there are individual differences. I have also acquired good knowledge and understanding of child development.

Intimate Apparel Synopsis

Tommy DelZenero Intimate Apparel Feb 6th, 2013 The character I really tried to focus on while watching Intimate Apparel was George, the man from Panama. I thought he was the best actor on the stage that night, but that’s not saying too much. For the first half of the play, the actor performed a monologue with the spotlight solely on him. After the break, the actor participated in scene work with multiple characters. George in the storyline is a man who works a very physically demanding job digging canals in Panama.He one day decides to write a letter to Ester, the unmarried woman who works with fabrics, and he immediately takes a liking to her. They exchange letters for about six months and then it happens- George sends her a letter proclaiming his love and asks Ester to be his wife. She replies and says she would love to; he comes a few weeks later for the wedding. Off the bat when they met, it seems to be a little awkward; they had never met and barely knew each other. Over time, they got closer due to their proximity but emotionally they grew distant.George doesn’t seem to be the romantic that Ester had originally talked to. Also, she finds out that he has been cheating on her. He ends up taking her money and leaving Ester. There were a lot of good things that the actor did throughout the course of the play that I have been taught to do as well. He knew his lines for the most part, his inflection changed at appropriate times, and he used a lot of good hand motions and other gestures. Also, in the first half of the play (before the intermission), the actor played a roll in which he was very romantic and sweet.When he recited the letters, he was able to come across as a very well together and in love man. I genuinely thought he was being sincere and true to Ester. Later in the play, George became very distant and withdrawn. He became a cheating man without morals, who was selfish and inconsiderate. The actor was able to portray two different extr emes in the same play, and he did a pretty good job making the transition. I think this would be hard to accomplish, but he was effectively able to do so. Another effective part in the play was the anger the man who played George was able to show.At the scene in the bedroom talking to Ester, he stomped around, making a certain amount of noise without drowning out his own vocals. Throughout the journey of the theater performance, he made a lot of hand gestures and facial expressions that showed me how he felt; he let me feel his emotions. With that said, George didn’t have a flawless performance. For the most part, I thought it was poor acting; but he did well relatively speaking as I addressed above. With that said, it was hard to understand him half the time. At certain parts it seems he wasn’t exactly sure of his lines.He stuttered at parts that didn’t call for stuttering; it wasn’t apart of the script. That just comes down to memorization. Additionally , the actor lost the role at one point, letting out a smirk mid-scene. That smile kind of threw the audience; actors must be in character at all times. Physically, the actor made the audience believe he was a physically worn man. From the clothes he wore to his whole demeanor. His facial expressions showed exhaustion; while speaking from Panama, his voice was strong but tiresome and showed uncertainty. When he came to the contiguous United States, his physical appearance changed.Although he was not in Panama any longer, his true roots came out in the way he spoke and the heavy accent he placed on his words. George became better dressed and modernized; this led to an emotional change as well. Emotionally speaking, in the beginning of the play George was such a smooth talker; he was a sweetheart who was very persuasive and manipulative. The inflection George had in his voice was very sincere. He showed his charm and passion through the words in his letters (even though they turned out to not be his own words). Regardless, he made Ester fall in love with him and want to see him.He seemed genuine. In person though, he wasn’t so loving. George showed his heartlessness and rudeness in his cheating and dialect towards Ester. He showed anger by the way he stomped about the bedroom and stormed out of rooms. He showed his impatience by the way he knocked at the door, so hard and so loud. There were subtle things that could’ve been done better, but the emotion was attempting to be displayed. Intellectually the actor had a few different motives. The first half of the play the audience thought George was all about love and being Ester’s husband.After the intermission, his true colors came out and he became a money hungry hustler. Throughout the play, the character George had many different emotions and types of person he had to show. The actor did a pretty decent job with his faces and body language that he performed. I thought overall, he did an okay job and the play was interesting. I enjoyed watching the storyline play out, though the acting could’ve been much better. It seemed as though the performers were not prepared to act in front of an actual audience. With that said, I look forward to seeing other productions in the future.

The Relationship of Music Education Essay

The turning academic accomplishment spread observed in academic establishments in the United States has prompted legion research surveies conducted to happen ways and means to better the academic public presentation of school-aged kids in the state. Based on such surveies conducted. it has been determined that the incorporation of music instruction as portion of the course of study used among pre-school. simple and high school pupils can assist better the degree of academic public presentation observed in these degrees. As such. there are now a figure of different web sites found over the Internet promoting this method of learning school-aged kids of assorted degrees. However. there are still a figure of groups that remain disbelieving about its effectivity. This paper aims to supply information turn outing that the incorporation of music instruction to school course of study of different degrees result to an betterment of the academic public presentation of school-aged kids. Apart from supplying the legion benefits advocated by different web sites back uping this. this paper would look into surveies published in academic diaries available in Internet databases turn outing its effectivity. the claims provided by sceptics that have caused them to reason that there is no relationship between the usage of music instruction and the betterment of the academic public presentation of school-aged kids would besides be presented. Music Education and Academic Performance As antecedently mentioned. there are a legion Internet web sites now recommending the usage of music instruction as a agency to better the academic public presentation of school-aged kids of different degrees. This is because research surveies have shown positive and promising consequences peculiarly among kids with particular demands such as those with autism and those that have been considered as kids at-risk. In one survey. the research worker found that the incorporation of music instruction in the schoolroom led to the creative activity of an environment where kids with autism become more successful academically since they determined that pupils with autism are able to react more expeditiously with the usage of music stimulation ( Darrow 2009 ) . In another survey. it was determined that through the incorporation of music instruction. members of the module and disposal have seen that there has been a diminution in the figure of pupils dropping out of school as compared to those that did non use these plans. In fact. they found that 93 % of pupils dropping out are those that are non included in any music instruction plan ( Olson 2008 ) . Internet websites that promote the incorporation of music instruction as a manner to supply school-aged kids the ability to develop and heighten assorted accomplishments which have been considered as indispensable for the success of school-aged kids non merely in school but besides within the corporate universe. Some of these accomplishments include mathematics. creativeness and communicating accomplishments. It was besides determined that through the usage of music instruction as a portion of the course of study of school-aged kids allow them to develop traits and personalities that would do them productive members of society. These include developing a sense of self-denial. less prone to effusions of fury and choler and substance dependence. These claims presented in these Internet web sites are supported by assorted research surveies released by such establishments such as the U. S. Department of Education and the College Board of New York ( Children’s Music Workshop 2006 ; Zhang 2007 ) . While this may be the instance. other Internet web sites have been found to rebut such claims and benefits. One of which is a web site that features the survey presented to the Australian Association for Research in Education entitled No Evidence for a Mozart Effect in School Aged Children. In this survey. the research workers have stipulated that while there have been legion surveies claiming that the usage of classical music and other methods of integrating music instruction in school course of study have caused an betterment in the academic public presentation in some academic establishments. this does non go on each and every individual case. This is due to the fact that other factors such as the cultural of the academic establishment and the quality of the instructors easing the instruction of the pupils play a major function in the overall academic public presentation of school-aged kids ( Crncec. Wilson & A ; Prior 2002 ) . In another Internet web site. it was stated that while music instruction does assist most school-aged kids with particular demands. this does non embrace all kids with particular demands. To be specific. kids with auditory upsets such as audile procedure upset. or APD. are unable to grok sound elements. As a consequence. the incorporation of music instruction to the course of study of school-aged kids would merely be unbeneficial for these kids. In fact. it may even do these kids to exhibit the really issues that Internet websites advancing the usage of music instruction are able to turn to ( Nikolaidou. Iliadou. Kaprinis. Hadjileontiadis & A ; Kaprinis 2009 ) . Conclusion The incorporation of music instruction in school course of study has. in no uncertainty. been able to assist in the betterment of the academic public presentation of school-aged kids in different degrees. The promising consequences presented by research surveies conducted have been found to be consistent when these rules have been applied by assorted academic establishments. peculiarly pre-school and simple schools. As a consequence. the incorporation of music instruction has now been endorsed by assorted local and authorities organisations involved in the betterment of the overall academic public presentation of academic establishments in the state. While there are restrictions to how much of an betterment may be observed in one academic establishment as presented earlier. the consistence observed on the part music instruction to the overall academic public presentation uninterrupted to do a feasible method to be used in schools throughout the state.
