PART 1

Question 1
If the price elasticity of demand for firm X’s product is -1.75, lowering its price will result in an increase in total revenue. This is because a negative price elasticity of demand implies an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. It indicates that an increase in price leads to a decline in quantity demanded and a decline in price leads to an increase in quantity demanded. In addition, the price elasticity of demand is more than 1 in absolute terms hence a change in price leads to a more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. A 1% decrease in ...

The novel "The Stranger" by Albert Camus is one of the most important and popular of his works. It has a direct connection with the philosophy of existentialism and the absurd like most of the works of the author. The writer once again demonstrates the human and social relationships, as well as the internal conflict of the man himself by the example of the protagonist's life and feelings. The problem of the story touches upon many issues, but one of the main problems is the existence of God. The life of the protagonist Meursault is the way to truth ...

The main question of this essay is at what point or points in this speech does Wiesel

risk offending parts of his audience to the extent where it might hurt his ethos -- and
how does he manage to overcome it and rehabilitate that ethos?

Elie Wiesel provides an introduction about indifference. Indifference might be seen as

even worse than hatred because with indifference there is no action and God seems to have
forgotten. It is when Wiesel mentions that leaders of the free world, in particular, the US
most likely would have done something about the transportation of Jews if they only knew
(YouTube, 2014). He emphasizes this point with his voice and it is accusative. Wiesel adds
that this information was ...

Soldiers, despite their initial conviction and training to kill, are beset with the heaviness of their first kill. Although some are reluctant in showing their mental state affect, others are more heavily affected by the things they have seen and committed in battle. Noah Pierce, a soldier who ultimately ended his life due to his traumas incurred in his two trips to Iraq, is a vivid example of PTSD. Murder, whether it is committed in war as an act of defense, is a heaviness that will haunt the soldiers who do survive and return home.
Noah Pierce, being described ...

Jack London is characterized as a naturalistic writer through most of his literature works, for instance, The Law of Life and To Build a Fire. In the two short stories, Jack incorporates naturalism themes such as nature vs. man, death, and the struggle for survival. The author presents main characters who struggle to survive with the indifference of nature to survive, but they ultimately die as nature wins the war against them.
In To Build a Fire, London presents a protagonist who sets out on a journey despite the harsh weather. The man was warned against traveling during the ...

1. Explain in detail the Exclusionary Rule.
The Exclusionary Rule is the rule that is generated by the law under the constitutional rights. It does not allow the use of any of the non-legal obtained proof in the trials for criminal under the fourth amendment. It will usually apply for the elimination of the physical evident. The best example of exclusionary rule is stolen property, murder, or weapons that allows the police to catch a break in a case under the rights of the fourth amendment. The exclusionary rule could be under the Fifth Amendment, when no person can ...

There is a vast sea of inequality stretching infinitely across borders, flowing freely throughout our so-called society. Inequality comes in different shades and hues: masters and slaves, feudal lords and peasants, males and females, bourgeoisie and proletarians, Christians and Jews, Westerns and non-Westerns, and whites and blacks – just name it, our society has it. In the context of a highly polarized society, deep-rooted culture of discrimination becomes air that we breathe; coupled with a varying degree of violence, it has been a part of life in a protracted way, as if of an essence. Wars such as the Civil War, Thirty Years’ War, World ...

1. An investor does not need to make a decision which portfolio to choose when a risk free asset is included. There is now only one tangent portfolio he can choose. Explain this statement with graphs analysis.
The line of possible portfolio risk and return combinations given the risk-free rate and the risk and return of the portfolio of risky assets is called capital allocation line(CAL).

IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS THE PREDOMINANT THEMES OF ROMEO AND JULIET

Introduction
Kenneth Branagh’s, 2016 play, presents Romeo & Juliet in a brilliantly new and expressionistic manner. The play starts with an assumption that live cannot exist without hate, and according to the many critics this indeed does not signify two opposites but the notion becomes merely depicted as two sides of a coin (Rowe, 2008). The opposite of this peculiar union is exactly the opposite of love and hatred, which is known as indifference. Indifference perhaps is the theme less explored in the play since Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet comes with the notion of fate and its tragically beautiful ...

I believe that selfishness and indifference are terrible scourges of our time. In the modern world the problem of alienation and indifference arose very sharply. People increasingly do not pay attention to other people's pain and suffering. They do not want to help anyone, almost never taking the initiative or responsibility. This behaviour is, unfortunately, becoming usual. People put their interest first and over others to get what they want in their life.
Selfishness is a terrible disease that infected most of the world's population. The constant concern that a large number of problems, mistrust of the outside world, ...

The article “Good parenting key to breaking cycle of poverty” by Nicole Letourneau and Justin Joschko in the Toronto Star highlights the importance of strong relationships between children and adults in low-income families in Canada (Letourneau & Joschko, 2013). The article is significantly critical in the essence that it exposes the dangers of families suffering poverty not building a strong relationship with their children by particularly not giving them the necessary attention. In hindsight, the article depicts how extensive and sensitive alienation can be experienced while also revealing its prevalence to be witnessed across various issues. Alienation is thus witnessed ...

In his essay called “Christianity and the Survival of Creation”, Wendell Berry accuses Christian church of the insulting indifference that it expresses towards the whole world. While the church claims to be merciful and forgiving, it chooses to ignore all of the issues that are relevant for the modern society. Things like war, rape and murder the Church explains with the fact that God sends people obstacles that they are able to overcome. Instead of engaging into the fight with crime, the church hides behind the doctrine of acceptance. Berry is also outraged with the fact that Christians tried ...

Introduction

In the modern age of technological progress, people begin to puzzle about their place in the environment and the relation of a contemporary human being to the nature. It seems like the link between a person and natural environment is lost, yet still despite the progress, humans try to connect to nature. There is a radical difference between the life in a modern city and in wilderness, which sometimes attracts adventurers and those who try to escape the civilization. There are radical examples, like Chris McCandless, who has chosen alienation from the society in order to live in wilderness ( ...

Introduction

Although rape and sexual assault are serious offenses, public discourse about these issues fail to clearly address the problems that victims go through even after these atrocious acts were committed against them. In reality, despite public acceptance of rape and sexual abuse as crime and the mandate for the punishment of those that commit these acts, the overall public response to these crimes are underwhelming to the point of bringing about detrimental impact on the life of victims. On one hand, we have a system that fails to prevent rape and sexual abuse and protect people and victims alike from ...

Introduction

The movie Apollo 13 is based on the true account of the unfortunate Apollo mission of NASA. The movie opens with Astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) who is enjoying a party to celebrate the success of Apollo 11 lunar mission. The story subsequently revolves to tell the tale of the third mission of landing in the moon which would be led by Astronaut Jim Lovell, Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) lunar module driver and Kevin Bacon as Jack Swivert, who is the command module pilot. The mission is smooth until the crew is threatened due to the explosion of an oxygen ...

The casual attitude of the residents toward the inhumanity of the lottery displays indifference and tolerance of the barbaric act. Shirley Jackson uses images of tranquility and of pastoral themes to make the readers unaware of and to mask the barbarity that is to come. The readers are shown images of children picking up and hoarding stones; of villagers gossiping and joking with one another – images that complement the supposedly festive act of a lottery.
The villagers’ casual attitude can be seen throughout the story. Tessie, who came late to the gathering, supposedly forgot what day it was and ...

Both books – “The Picture of Dorian Grey” by Oscar Wilde and “Chronicle of a Death Foretold” by Garcia Marquez – expose the human vices and human psychology, even though, they were written with the difference in a hundred years. Two great writers incarnated the idea of perverse and apathetic society as well as the destiny of a human within this society. Two different stories, two different persons’ tragedies both have fatal finals that do not lose the relevance and significance even nowadays.
The story of “The Picture of Dorian Grey” takes place in London of 1890s, during Wilde’s modern times. It ...

Introduction to Self-Awareness

This paper aims to discuss the aspects about the concept of self-awareness. Self-awareness is an important subject and aspect that is associated to our lives and we all have to concentrate on our actions, behaviors and beliefs from time to time. It is important to concentrate on the agreements and commitments that one makes with oneself (Heatherton & Baumeister, 1991).

Such agreements or self-concentration helps us to set the achievable goals in our lives and, in these agreements, we try to concentrate on our abilities, desires and our behaviors. Everyone has a different sort of thinking, a unique ...

Compassion in nursing involves a deep and empathic regard for the suffering of a patient and the desire and engagement to ease that suffering (Slatten, Carson & Carson, 2010). Empathy may take the form of counter-transference or the vicarious experience of the patient’s suffering (Boyle, 2011). Compassion entails the use of self enabling the nurse to establish a connection and a therapeutic relationship with the patient in order to (Smart et al., 2014). However, the repetitive practice of compassion can lead to fatigue, a phenomenon more common in settings such as oncology, palliative care, hospice, trauma, and emergency services. Constant preoccupation with patients and ...

- How effectively were you able to communicate with others in the lecture activity?
I was able to communicate effectively. I conveyed the messages I intended to convey and at the same time, I could understand what others wanted to say. At a few occasions, I took time to interpret the messages. With the help of this activity, I also understood the difficulties faced by physically-challenged persons (who cannot speak or listen).
- Which emotions did you find difficult to communicate to others?
It was quite easy to convey the feelings of ‘love, hate, frown, interest, happiness, ...

I do concur with the observations in the paper. The scenario presented place the accused, John Doe, at the scene armed with the armory, motive and malice. As such, it can be argued that both the act and the mental intent can be proved beyond reasonable doubt and that he should be convicted with the murder. As observed, the Georgia State Law is clear on the elements of murder of the first degree. As it stands, John Doe had a premeditated intent to kill. This demonstrated by a number of occurrences and events that precede the event occasioning the death. This ...

Introduction

There is genuine merit in the argument that it is in human nature to be cruel to others. This supposition is favored by the responses elicited by the various subjects in experiments conducted by Milgram and by Darley and Latane. In Milgram’s experiments, subjects were instructed to increasingly inflict electric shock pain on another human every time they failed to answer a question correctly (Milgram 60). Almost all the subjects obeyed, seemingly to maintain social etiquette or avoid disapproval from the authority figure of the instructor. In Darley and Latane, several experiments showed that people are less likely to ...

Bram Stocker’s Dracula is a movie based on novel which is based on an illusion of existing creatures. Hughes points out that, the movie creates an illusion that vampires and humans can live together taking into consideration the fact that vampires can transform to humans (12). The creation of the movie is aimed at making the audience creating a mental picture of non existing creatures and the relations to the human life. Additionally, the vampire abilities in the film are imaginative creations aimed at depicting the extra ordinary abilities of the creatures. In an argument by Hughes the film also ...

Authored by Tennessee Williams, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a fascinating play revolving round the story of a neurotic, dysfunctional family steeped in hidden deceptions and hypocrisy. The play was adapted into a film in 1958 under the direction of Richard Brooks. Released by MGM studio with starlets like Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman in central roles of Brick and Maggie, the film won a superb commercial success. Though Richard Brooks retained much of Tennessee Williams' original prose and conversation intact, he made few alterations in the story. He added some new dialogues, curtailed the parts of Gooper and Mae and made ...

R. v. Williams

R. v. Williams
In the case of R v Williams, the accused was an aboriginal who pleaded not guilty to a robbery charge filed against him and elected a trial by judge and jury. During the initial trial, the trial judge authorized the asking of questions to the potential jurors. However, the Crown filed for a mistrial on the ground of procedural errors and giving too much publicity and exposure on the jury selection process. At the second trial, the judge who heard the motion of the accused issued an unfavourable decision against him to challenge the jurors ...

Pseudosciences are practices that masquerade themselves as science but have little or no scientific rigor or cohesion to them. They claim to be factual and scientific, yet do not adhere to scientific methodology and principles (Braithwaite 2006). In simple and lucid terms, pseudoscience is non-scientific and fails to adhere to the basic scientific principles, most importantly and notably the scientific principle of falsability. Pseudoscience lacks empirical and practical evidences and proofs for most of its claims and practices and hence discarded as misleading and false by leading scientists and scientific organizations. But the proponents of different pseudosciences claim them ...

Poetry works by presenting layers of meaning through the use of a central idea that the author is trying to communicate. In many poems, this is done by presenting a common or easily imagined scene followed by a description that takes the meaning deeper into the metaphorical level. By appealing first to our senses through imagery and then building up contrasts that help shock us into understanding, poets are able to make us reconsider our ideas about often very abstract concepts. This is the case with Robert Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sundays” in which the poet is trying to convey a sense ...

The Stranger is a novel by Albert Camus. The main character in this novel is Meursault who is also the narrator. The title “The Stranger” helps to explain various strange happenings in the novel. Meursault is involved in various instances which show his emotional detachment with his surrounding environment (Albert, pp 12). Although much has been explained about this novel, little has been done about the interpretation of the title “The Stranger”. This paper will thus focus on the interpretation of the title of the novel “The Stranger”.
In this novel, the stranger is Meursault, the narrator of the ...

In David Fincher’s 2010 film The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg brings to life a fictionalized version of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, portraying a neurotic, yet determined figure who is at once unlikeable and infinitely interesting. There are many elements in Eisenberg’s quiet, intense performance that make Zuckerberg one of the more fascinating cinematic protagonists of recent years. In this essay, Eisenberg’s use of motivation, heightened language, physical character work, character private moments and substitution in The Social Network will be explored.

Motivation loads the action with meaning for a character (Hagen, p. 50). The motivation of Mark Zuckerberg can ...

INTRODUCTION

In Camus’ The Stranger, one of the more interesting characters is Meursalt, a strangely detached, numb, borderline misanthropic figure who does not have any sense of right or wrong, good or evil. It is as though he feels nothing; he is an atheist, and reacts with cool detachment to proposals of marriage or the death of a family member. At the same time, he is filled with turmoil, particularly once he is given the death sentence because of a murder he commits. Meursault is the quintessential existentialist; he sees no point to the world, and attempts to merely view it as it ...
