Reflection – Question 3

As a leader, I think that the more those who work beside and under me know about my strengths, the better equipped they are to know when and what to ask me for when they need it. For example, three of my strengths are the ability to think outside the box, listening, and helping people work through problems. These three traits, while different, are very much related. For example, a staff member is stuck working on a plan of action I assigned to them. They are frustrated and showing their frustration. Someone mentions to go see me. Now because ...

Appendixes 18 Introduction France has been debated on their expatriates’ citizen lately due to the expansion of expat workers. It is seen negatively as some politics state that it is a “lose of brains” for the country because of the crisis and fiscal pressure of the government (Biacabe & Robert, 2014). The French system is often criticized due to the high risk that entrepreneurs are facing when they open their business in France. For instance, as Jean Tirole who awarded the Nobel Prize in economic, explained the French labour ...

Abstract

“Answer the question, Jane Thomson,” Miss Smith says courteously, coldly, implacably, thus wiping the grin off my face. It is my friend Lucy’s sixteenth birthday, and we have been talking about her birthday party that she is going to throw on Saturday night. Naturally, we have been giggling and grinning from sideburn to sideburn as we usually do when we sit next to each other. That is why we did not notice our Geometry teacher come up to our desk. “Silence!” Miss Smith hisses, turning on the class. Terrified, my classmates watch us in dismay. A sudden hush ...

Abstract

The modern bureaucratic system replaced the previous patriarchal system which had some flaws that slowed down the further development of the society. The administrative bodies make decisions and realize them, resorting to enforcement matters when it’s needed, within their authority. The bureaucracy tries to satisfy the needs of those people that it administrates, while those people are taking care of other things: production of material and spiritual goods, bringing up the new generation, health care, and their own professional and personal development. The bureaucracy acts in behalf of those people who empowered it to manage the public affairs. ...

Judith Butler, a controversial writer and professor of philosophy, known to write about gender and sexuality, along with a recent interest in war, discusses the topic of “what counts as human” and “what makes for a liveable life,” in an essay titled, “Beside Oneself: On the Limits of Sexual Autonomy.” Butler examines the paradigms set by society and politics of what is considered the “norm” and how one is only acknowledged in his or her humanity based on these standards. Those that are outside the expected norm, such as homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender and transsexual are not given the same ...

Introduction

In the last few centuries, our understanding of universe has grown by leaps and bounds. Before seventeenth century, people generally believed that the Earth is at centre of the universe and all heavenly bodies move around the Earth. Galileo challenged the idea and published his papers in support of Copernican heliocentric theory that the Earth and other planets move around the Sun. Our understanding of universe grew further. We realized that the Sun is not unique and there are hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy, which are brighter ...

HEARTLESS EVIL Ted Bundy was one of the country’s most notorious serial killers. Just before his execution in 1989, he confessed to killing at least 30 young women, though it is uncertain how many other women he may have killed—possibly as many as one hundred, profilers have said. Biographer Ann Rule, who wrote, “The Stranger Beside Me,” described him as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death, and even after." (Rule p. xiv) One of the main reasons that ...

Social norms have always tried the best to govern the behaviors of people all over the world across various cultures. Nevertheless, the very thought of breaking a norm and trying to gauge the reaction of the people around seems to be very interesting. People are made to learn various ways in which they should portray themselves in public. I chose one of the norms to break in front of many, so that I could see the reaction of the people. Tidiness is something that has always found the prime importance in one’s agenda. Picking the nose is a huge ...

Through Animal Rights Lenses The reasoning of the existence of a superior race is often used as a basis for animal objectification. Humans are believed to be the more advanced species when it comes to intelligence and even physique. This train of thought has allowed humans to justify hunting down animals, taking animals from their natural habitats and using them for purposes that would suit human’s wants and needs. Very few have ever questioned this notion, especially in the 19th century where things were very ...

Heather Dina’s’ Photograph – Two Brides, At Your Feet

Heather Dina’s’ Photograph – Two Brides, At Your Feet The first impression that I got from the portrait was different from what it has been named by the artist. I noticed only one bride at the feet of a man. However, closely seeing the photography, I was able to sense how Dina’s had induced the perception of two brides. The portrait evoked a reserved, raw and intense feeling within me. It reflected the gesture of helplessness and domination simultaneously, introducing the subject of strength and humility. I noticed desertion in the bride while domination in the man standing beside ...

“Annabel Lee” is a sad and spooky poem that deals with the death of a beautiful young woman, which is not surprising, since that happens to be one of Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite subjects. The poem is about a beautiful memory that is also painful at the same time. Poe is recalling his memory Annabel Lee, who is his long-lost love, who meant more than just some teenage crush to him. Despite being children at the time, the two were madly and serious in love with each other. Their love was so strong that it was noticed even by the angels in ...

Old, empty mansions evoke feelings of loneliness, isolation and even fear. What used to be happy homes for a large number of people have become empty nests. They fearsome or “haunted” as they are dream homes at the same time. They are thus frequent settings for gothic tales and horror movies. Such old houses were the settings of two short stories: A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The two short stories are about two women who degenerated into complete breakdown while living isolated in huge, dream mansions. In A ...

I have this weird feeling since a week ago. I feel so lonely and empty in this big city that I’m living in. This feeling of loneliness seems to flashback memories of a recent journey that changed me in such a way. While waiting for the bus at the stop on the way home, I tried to recall the memories of the day that I started to have this strange feeling that even I could not explain. There was this ordinary night where the chilling December winds seemed to come as usual. Suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the ...

A Rose for Emily is one of the most memorable short stories that I have ever written as it is also one of the most disturbing. Precisely because of the story’s shocking revelation at the ending makes it all the more interesting and unforgettable. One’s shock does not result from William Faulkner’s descriptions. Rather, it stems precisely from the lack of explicit or morbid imagery. Faulkner leaves it to the reader to imagine the horrible situation. The narrative shows how destructive self-isolation (the story’s theme) could be. It is a tragedy to mistake that people could ...

Analysis of “In Memoriam, A.H.H.”

Question 1 Alfred, Lord Tennyson was one of the premier poets writing during the Victorian period; his subjects and style embody that period of literature. “In Memoriam, A.H.H.” is an elegy in which he mourns the passing of Arthur Hallam, one of his best friends. Section LV is a particularly rich part of the poem when it comes to discussing the ways in which faith, loss and immortality all interact with the reader. At first, it seems like there are two very different sorts of verse within the same section – one that has to do with faith and the ...

The Scene:

“Miss Miller slowly rose. “See here Eugenio,” she said. “I’m going to the old castle, anyway.” “To the Cháteau de Chillon, mademoiselle?” the courier inquired. “Mademoiselle has made arrangements?” he added, in a tone which struck Winterbourne as very impertinent. Eugenio’s tone apparently threw, even to Miss Miller’s own apprehensions, a slightly ironical light upon the young girl’s situation. She turned to Winterbourne, blushing a little – a very little. “You won’t back out?” she said.

“I shall not be happy till we go!” he protested.

“And you are staying in this hotel?” she went on. “And you are really an American?” The courier stood ...

Discussion 1

I agree with the majority of people regarding these cases. It’s more acceptable to sacrifice someone in the Switch Dilemma because both the group of five people and the single person who were tied to the tracks were already in the same predicament, that is, they were all tied to the tracks. As such, if given a choice on who to save, then the principle of Utilitarian ethics can be applied in that the choice should be based on the consequences. In particular, the choice should be the one that leads to the most people benefitting from the choice. ...

“I don’t want to go.”

“You’re going.” Dad placed my pink suitcase on my bed, while I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes. The suitcase was an embarrassing thing I still used when I traveled, something for a much younger girl. Bad enough, but this vacation was the worst idea I’d ever heard of.

“I can stay home by myself for a week. I’m fourteen years old. I can look after myself.”

Mom came in the room and glanced at Dad. “I don’t understand why you don’t want to go, Emily. You were always fascinated with Egypt, the pyramids, and the tombs when you were in elementary school.”

“Just watch the news!” I was getting really frustrated. They ...

As shocking as pederasty is in modern times, in ancient Greece, it was a bisexual relationship that had social status, between an adult man and a teenage male. This was the most common during the Classical and Archaic periods of Greek history, and it has been traced back in history to the ritual of initiation – specifically the rituals that took place on Crete that were connected to admission into life in the military and Zeus' religion. Referred to as paiderastia by the Greeks, it was both lauded and reviled in contemporary works of the day. In Iliad and Odyssey, it does ...

The book, the Reign of Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the books of Robert Asprey. It is a summary of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, basically as a man and finally centers on his life as the king and the emperor of France. In this book however, Asprey tries so much to dwell on the military life of Bonaparte and thus avoids more issues on his child life. The author of this book tries so much to expound on the abilities and the achievements of this ruler. As a statesman, a husband, a lover and as a king, the author tries to bring the personality ...

A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo was first published in 1977 and was immediately acclaimed in many reviews as a superbly written account of one man’s experience of the Vietnam War. It will be seen that not only was the Vietnam War, because of a unique set of circumstances, very different in many respects from earlier wars, but also that it had a life-changing effect on Caputo: he departed for the war keen and eager for battle, but returned as a total opponent of the war.

According to Caputo, how was the Vietnam War different from earlier wars, such as World War II?

The Vietnam War, according to Caputo, differed in six major ways from the earlier wars, ...
