- Introduction
When literature is translated onto a stage, it becomes a play; it takes on a facet of reality that merely reading the words does not bring to the reader. Not every story translates perfectly into the medium of the play; plays have to have a lot of interaction between characters and environments to translate properly into theatre. Although there are certainly plays where not much happens, these plays are few and far between; most plays focus on the relationships between characters and their environments-- including the other characters that are present in the play.
In theatre, the actors are ...

In sociological studies, institutional analysis is conducted for understanding how institutions affect and influence individual and collective human behavior. Conclusions can be made through empirical approaches or inferential analyses, which give various scientifically admissible conclusions on the subject. Past studies have shown ...

Is technology now threatening the nature and perhaps the very existence of the live performing arts and how those arts should respond to the changes being brought about by technology?
The fast pace development of technology is often cited as the reason why live performing arts are no longer as popular as it was before.

Introduction

Ever since the emergence of theatre as a form of art, it has remained on of the most popular and expressive genres of art that continue to entertain as much as it informs. This is perhaps because for many years, theatre has been used as a social mirror of sorts; one that allows the audience as well as the performers to view the society in which they live for what it is. The ability of playwrights to craft magnificent and compelling theatrical pieces that highlight the plight of the societies in which they live arguably makes playwrights one of ...

The key to leadership is the ability to improve the performance of other people in a team.

The Importance of Being Earnest, a play by Oscar Wilde, is often considered a classic, and ahead of its time in terms of social commentary.

Wilde's work delights in its ravaging of the continental lifestyle that many rich people in the Victorian era experienced, the play does not reach to the point of moralizing, or providing solutions or lessons to be learned from the work. Instead, the play is ...

The western and the war film are both distinctly violent films – they are basically about revenge, defeating the adversary, and operating in a wilderness of sorts (the Old West, compared to the jungles of Vietnam or the beaches of Normandy).

Two such characters are, respectively, Mattie Ross in the 1969 western True Grit and Chris Taylor in the 1986 war film Platoon. Both are young, idealistic characters who slowly ...

Federico Fellini’s La Strada (1954): The Components of a Critical Essay on Film
The goal of a filmmaker is to make use of narrative to match well with cinema’s natural formalistic techniques. Cinema, as André Bazin has noted has its own ontology of being both an objective representation of reality seeing through the subjective lens of the preserved image. It has a unique way of both representing reality, by preserving life through a representation of life (Bazin 2004, p. 10). Filmmakers not only communicate ...

Verbal images related to the themes of love and jealousy in the later tragedies, "Othello" and "Antony and Cleopatra" help to understand the psychology of the characters, to penetrate into the patterns of these powerful passions. These images are very different from the metaphorical style in the early tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" – where they transmit power to suddenly erupted spontaneous feeling, which seems something sacred to the heroes. Romeo’s first words addressed to Juliet, express awe in this metaphor:

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

Physical Security can be described as “the measures taken to protect systems, buildings, and the related supporting infrastructure against threats that are associated with the physical environment” (Krutz & Vines, 2004).

Question 1

This argument is rather pedestrian, especially considering that the modern society is based on co-existence. Taking the United States as an example, multi-cultural societies are inevitable in the contemporary world, where globalization is the force behind the destiny of the human race. Race should not be the determining factor as far as what one will do is concerned. On the contrary, all races should be treated equally with such doctrines as the equal employment opportunity being the guiding principles. The origins of this person’s logic could be the basic reasoning of a person in a society with class conflict, with ...

Examination of Performance Review Conflict

Examination of Performance Review Conflict
Performance review conflict can create serious problems in the public sector. In reviewing an employee’s performance, the supervisor considers self-reported performance assessment, his/her observations of an employee’s work, and feedback from other supervisors and peers who had the opportunity to oversee or observe the work of the employee. However, ratings for each criterion depends, in part, on the subjective interpretation of the supervisor.

Neo-liberalism encourages economic liberalism, promoting the divide between the rich and the poor; it is active today, that is why it’s neo or new.
