Both Bradbury and Heinlein are masters of the science fiction genre, creating worlds and scenarios that are both whimsical and impactful to the present day.

“The Few. The Proud. The Marines.” This is a well-known, long standing slogan for the Marine Corps military recruiting campaign; originations dating back to 1799 (Szoldra, 2015). This slogan wishes to draw attention to the promise of creating one with an elite social status. Through many centuries of recruiting, and many slogan trials, this slogan has stood the test of time and creates familiarity by mere existence. Now consider the latest slogan being launched by the US Marine Corps, “Toward the Sound of Chaos” (Dao, 2012). The marketing method unfolds by focusing on something that is found in endless ...

As it was said in one popular film “Destruction is a form of creation.” (Donnie Darko) However, looking at today`s world with all its wars, genocides and decay one may disagree with this quote. Practice shows that people in charge are no longer eager to build and develop their countries on the contrary they became masters of escalating material wealth by all means and by all costs. It seems that such a huge book of human history should have taught people that wars and destruction hold us back and deprive from development and spiritual enrichment but today`s ...

In both Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” and Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est,” each poet arms themselves with certain devices to create emotional tones that drive how they feel about war. For Howe, war seems to be glorious and good. For Owen, it is clearly undignified and evil. The emotional tone set by Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” is safe and content, whereas the emotional tone of Owen’s “Dolce et Decorum Est” is chaotic and unsettling. Both poets use alliteration, meter, and rhyme in nearly opposite ways to strike at the heart ...

Rendered in 1913, Ludwig Meidner's art reflects the angst in Germany that was so prevalent before World War I. This angst is represented as penciled chaos on paper (with a turpentine wash) in Industrial Landscape, suggesting a chaotic, turbulent time in early-20th century Germany. I selected this work because of my admiration of the Italian Futurists, who influenced Meidner's art. Modern art, such as Industrial Landscape, always takes place within a sociopolitical context, regardless of its genre.
Ludwig Meidner was a pioneering figure during the second wave of Expressionism. He was also a poet who, after service during World War I, urged fellow ...

The work of Richard Strauss encompasses a setting of the story that best fit a mythological setting. The merriment created by the five-comedy troupe appears to disregard the desolation that consumes the entire island of Naxos including its mourning inhabitants. The contrast between the two emotions seems to provide emphasis on the effect of inconsolable grief that consumes the main character names Ariadne. The introduction of the characters also demonstrates the nature of Ariadne’s mythical world. A deeper interpretation of isolation and emotions of that of a princess was highlighted in the piece providing an insight to the pain and resulting ...

Philosophy: Taoism

Introduction
Taoism is a philosophy and a way of life that originated from Chinese with an accreditation to Lao Tzu who was born in 640 BCE. Tao can be categorized into three different interpretations. The first meaning is the way of the ultimate reality. Tao cannot be expressed and explained in a word. Whatever is spoken is not the real Tao but the true one transcends the reality of our daily lives; it was never created thus cannot be destroyed. Tao can be understood as the way of the universe, this suggests the omnipresent nature of Tao. It is existent in ...

Films like Tootsie (1982) and Victor/Victoria (1982) belong to genre that is called gender farce which is a subgenre of comedy films. More often than not they portray people who have to pretend to be someone else, most of an opposite sex, in order to overcome some life obstacles. Thus Tootsie and Victor/Victoria present viewer with light and entertaining farce that depicts the silly situation with cross-dressing and living a double life. However, besides witty and humorous remarks lay serious topics of gender identity and roles which are dressed in irony and sarcasm. Moreover, both directors manipulated and played ...

Anytime a story is told by different people, there are understandable number of variations. This is especially true for Greek and Roman myths, which were written during vastly different centuries with opposite views of religion. The Greeks seemed to view their early gods as perfect yet still human with their interactions with mortals. The actions of the divine motivated and drove the course of the stories. The Romans, by contrast, put their gods on a pedestal and shifted the blame to the mortals. The writings of Hesiod and Ovid reflect these differences, depicting the actions in a perfect light ...

Akira Kurosawa's film ‘Ran’ as an adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ has several similarities that start with themes, action as well as characters. In King Lear, the women are seen as being hard-pressed from the centre of politics, while in Ran they are caught in between domestic margins. This paper addresses the power and motivations among women. It is therefore not a direct adaptation of Shakespeare’s play.

King Lear does not explain the history of the characters so that the reader can be in a better position to understand their motives, but Ran has their historical ...

The conditions within the health care industry are not static but rather change along with unpredictable shifts in the local and national demographics, economy, and regulatory measures. Health care organizations must be able to navigate an ever changing landscape to remain viable. To do this, there must be willingness to implement changes in the structure, systems, processes, or culture of the organization that would enable adaptation. An organizational analysis is a useful tool in predicting successful change and adaptation in situations of chaos and complexity (Bellot, 2011). This paper is an organizational case study of the University of Pennsylvania Health ...

“God dwells in creatures, in the elements, giving them being, in the plants vegetating, in the animals feeling in them, in men giving them to understand: and so in me, giving me being, animating me, giving me sensation and making me to understand; likewise making a temple of me, being created to the likeness and image of His Divine Majesty”

Introduction

Many companies engage in corporate social responsibility engaging in charitable acts. There has been focused attention on this topic. Milton Friedman suggested that corporate social responsibility applies only to the shareholders of the company. Other parties should not be considered. The managers should only concentrate on maximising shareholder’s wealth and ensure the firm constantly makes profits. This concept goes against the widely held view that a company should practice social responsibility to several stakeholders such as the customers, employees, suppliers and the local communities. The concept proposed by Milton is known as the Shareholder Concept of social responsibility while ...

Social control is essentially a society’s ability to regulate itself. Having existed since the beginning of civilization, this control has taken many different forms throughout history, but has almost always featured an enforcer of some type to insure that the rules are followed. In current times those who enforce the laws are known as police officers, and they exist to bring order to a system that otherwise might not regulate itself. Their role in society is to insure that it does not tear itself apart and follows its own established rules. Police are the order within the chaos ...

Cinema transformed from a tool to display attractions to a medium to express feelings in which directors convey their opinions and ideas. Therefore, political and social events around the world started to become subjects for more and more films. Encapsulating the society’s ideologies and myths, films became a potent means for manipulation and for reinforcing the society’s norms and values. However, for the directors themselves, films soon transformed in artistic works in which they could use subversive techniques in order to question and to critique agents of power. The 2010 Hindi film “Robot” and the Korean film “ ...

The goal of this essay is to provide artwork analysis of three contemporary paintings such as Whitney’s Cold Moon Dancer, Sheehan’s I Never Planned to Have You Here, and Dugas’ Wake. These three works of art exemplifies the influences of modernism due to the fact that artists explored different artistic styles in order to portray their subjects from a different perspective. From that point, the resulting paintings were brave, bolder, and revolutionary in a sense that these works broke the traditional art forms of either ‘humanizing’ or illustrating realistic and religious figures. For instance, Whitney’s Cold ...

PART 1: ART AND ARCHITECTURE THEME REFLECTION

Part 1: Thinking Through Theme and Image

The theme chosen for discussion within this particular project is the theme of duality and conflict as a result of duality. This is a common theme throughout arts and literature; it can be seen in a grand sense in the Bible, with the duality of the divine, as well as in classical literature like Frankenstein. It is also present in many famous works of art, including works of art like Picasso’s Guernica. Duality and conflict—and associated themes of war and strife—are common themes because they are universal in many ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

Thomas King’s 1993 novel Green Grass, Running Water is not written like a typical narrative novel, with a beginning, middle and end. Instead, the work functions as a strange, compelling mixture of myth and fictional anthology, with a series of concurrent stories being told at once. King’s incredibly deft handling of this mixture of stories, which runs the gamut from outright myths to Judeo-Christian creation stories to tales of the everyday, creates a style that sits somewhere between Indian oral tradition and Western fiction literature. This allows for a unique exploration of the way these two cultures mix, the yearning of Aboriginals to ...

Latin American cinema is no stranger to the subject of revolution. In particular, Cuban cinema, in all of its experimental and documentary glory, is accustomed to the assemblage of realism in the face of the Revolution of 1959. The quintessential film in this regard is Tomas Gutierrez Alea’s Memories of Underdevelopment, which narrates the story of a bourgeois intellectual writer, Sergio, who has stayed behind amidst the chaos of revolution. He stays in the country when his parents and his wife go to Miami, in his desire to observe the continuing developments in Cuba. The film is based on ...

Essay on Camille Paglia’s Sexual Personae

The role of sexuality in our society and in one’s life has been the role of much debate, especially since there are many contrasting views and schools of thoughts on the subject. On the one hand, there exists a tradition that is the product of a largely male driven, hierarchal and patriarchal thought while, on the other hand, one can see feminism as a counter force to the traditional thought process. This essay will examine and discuss a few viewpoints that Paglia puts forth in her essay.
We examine one of Paglia’s first viewpoints: “Sex is the natural in man. ...

Both Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus Rex and William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello share some characteristics, such as an heroic yet tragic figure whose own character flaw brings about the final tragedy. In both plays, the main character’s wife dies as a result of the husband’s flaw. However, some essential differences exist between the plays. In Oedipus Rex, fate plays a central role in determining what happens to the main character, but in Othello, a very human antagonist sets the sequence of tragic events in motion.
In each play, the playwright establishes the protagonist as heroic. In Oedipus Rex, when the ...

Abstract

Hamlet and Lawrence of Arabia portray morally conflicted characters plagued with feelings of doubt and self-disgust over their inability to resolve for themselves the ambiguities endemic to a world seemingly bereft of a moral center. Both are caught up in the violent cycle of revenge and the torments of conscience. Hamlet’s moral dilemma leaves him irresolute and impotent, while Lawrence’s impulsiveness leaves him vulnerable to the psychological costs of his own past and the part he played in the duplicitous, imperialistic political power-play that underlay the war in the Middle East.

Keywords: Hamlet, Lawrence of Arabia, revenge, conscience, Middle ...

Dada is a style of theatre and performance that emphasizes chaos in lieu of order and civility. The irrational is king; Dadaists believe that colonialism and capitalism are the reasons that people go to war, using 'logic' and 'reason' to allow these terrible things to happen. With this in mind, Dadaist plays and playwrights sought to emphasize the silly, the abstract and the idiotic. This is indicative in several plays and works of the early 20th century, and Dadaist works that continue to this day. In this essay, we will examine the history of Dada, the ways in which it ...

8th May, 2011

According to Jean Jacques Rousseau, two different kinds of inequality exist in a human society. There is natural and moral inequality. Natural inequality as the name suggest is as a result of nature. Here, things like differences in mind quality, age, bodily strength and health are at play to cause inequality. However, Rousseau believes that moral inequality also known as political inequality is instigated by men themselves. This may include privileges enjoyed by some people at the expense of the rest. For example, being wealthier, more powerful or even influential.
Rousseau however was never concerned with natural ...

Management Theories

Introduction: Overview of Management

Human beings will remain to be the most complicated assets to manage in an organization unless probably the day computers will think, feel, and learn to do things without human intervention. Until then, every manager needs a management concept that will assist him or her to manage these complex resources. Management refers to the process of locating, organizing, planning, leading, and exercising control over the workforce among other resources. Every manager needs to have the necessary skills in making decisions and resolving issues for him/her to be effective, efficient, and beneficial.

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

Institutionalization of Chinese politics since Deng Xiaoping:

The Chinese state and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been by far the most significant factor in determining the level of institutionalization of Chinese politics. Chinese politics was highly shaped during the revolutionary and Maoist periods by the power of the CCP. The CCP’s role in the revolution and its creation of a particular state form highly influenced the state form. The Chinese state under Mao was revolutionary inasmuch as it was primarily focused on class struggle as its primary role. This changed after Mao’s death and the rise of Deng Xiaoping and ...

Introduction
The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

The Real Reason People Won’t Change

Change is inevitable. However, not everyone in an organization is ever ready for a change. People tend to drag their feet, yet they want to change. They won’t change even when they want to change. The greatest assumptions that most managers have is that employees in an organization always reject change, the reality, however, is that employees have a natural immune to change. A good manager should be able to note the competing commitments their employees have and assist wherever they can to help them overcome such limitations.
As a leader in the near future, I find this ...

Performance management is the process that makes an organization incorporates its employees in almost all activities of the company so that the enterprise can achieve efficiency. The key part in performance management is the employee involvement in decision-making. The activities that are involved in this process include planning where the human resource department sets the work schedule to be followed and the expected results if the work is done on their planned schedule. Continuous monitoring of the employee performance under regular schedules is imperative as Armstrong and Taylor (2014) assert. The other activity involved is that of capacity development ...

The literature industry is one of the biggest and most profitable ones. Aside from the fact that a lot of people are raking in stashes of cash working in this industry, there exists this idea that suggests that novels exist as a symbolic representation of man’s ideas, wants, vision, and even fears. In this paper, the author presents an argument about how a particular work of literature, that is the Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, presents as a reflection of contemporary society, its hopes, fears, realizations, or anything that might represent humans’ existence.
