“Good Country People”, the 1955 short story written by Flannery O’Connor, delves on the lives of Mrs. Hopewell and her daughter, Joy or Hulga, their maidservant Mrs. Freeman, and the Bible salesman, Manley Pointer. What is especially observable in this story is the use of irony and conflict to convey O’Connor’s thematic appeals, which center on deception, rebellion and sexual manipulation. As such, despite of Hulga’s high educational background she still seems naïve to life’s harsh realities, in that Manley is able to deceive her using his manly charms to eventually steal Hulga’ ...

The idea that schools should provide accommodations for those students who experience difficulty and disability is a relatively new one. In the past, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions existed as institutions; however, as the sciences advanced and more became known about the nature of human learning disabilities, institutions of all different types and sizes began to realize that a learning disability is not necessarily associated with an intellectual disability. With this realization came the development of a number of important programs, all of which have one particular end goal: to develop an educational system in which people can ...

The assumption that changes are as good as rest is not always taken positively when it is eventually put into practice. Often than not, reorganization is feared and strongly resisted because it brings around disturbances of the status quo, a threat to individuals vested interests in their jobs.

Vehement resistance to cultural, ethical and professional changes as is witnessed in the New Zealand Police Unit. The top brass in the New Zealand Police though some in subtle ways is up in arms against almost ...

Introduction

In most communities, family apartments were private spaces that offered a place of refuge and intimacy.

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

“By and large, people in the South still conceive of humanity in theological terms. While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted”, - is one of the most mentioned quotes of Flannery O’Connor.
