Pygmalion is one of the most famous plays created by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. The play is named after a character of Greek mythology, which, according to the legend, fell in love with the statue he created with his own hands. The name symbolically reflects the plot and the main argument of the play with some difference. The events described in the text take place in England at the beginning of the XX century. Henry Higgins, professor of phonetics, once meets a poor flower girl, Eliza, who sells flowers on the street. Her manners and speech are far ...

Fredricks’ In the Midst of Crisis opens with foreboding of something fearful about to happen. The tone is one of impending doom, fear of the unknown by both the protagonist and the audience. While the protagonist is focused on the rescue ship’s absence, the reader is caught up in the darkness and silence the writer’s tone and words portray. The connection between the scene and nature connects the story to the most base of human emotions, while collections of words are used throughout the preface to instill the fear that all the people must be feeling. The ...

Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders. It has ...

Background

Today, the financial industry is more regulated than any other time in the history of economic globalization. However, the lack of fundamental professional behavior, ethics, and compliance raises the important question whether the current financial sector in Australia is destined for an endemic future. The persistent fraud cases in the Australian financial industry paints an impression that behaviors are yet to change even after experiencing the global financial predicament that emanated from the US. The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

The article is a discourse on criminal justice, assessing the role of the bourgeois intellectuals who have in time over assigned contradicting explanations to criminal justice and prescribed prejudiced proposals on the role and extent of punishment of petty offenders.

It also looks at the investment made in criminal justice and the role of law enforcement in protecting the middle class from crimes and victimization resulting from such inter-class prejudice.

Climate change poses many risks to the lives of children. Because of the increase in temperature and extreme weather conditions brought by climate change, many communities are expected to suffer from food and water scarcity and perilous diseases and health complications. More disasters and humanitarian crises would bring long-term displacements and disruption to educational and economic activities (UNICEF, p.8). Given this situation, the future of children at the worldwide scale remains under peril. Governments and other agencies concerned on the welfare of children must do something to address this worsening situation, or the children will pay the price. Climate ...

Introduction

The financial crisis of 2007/9 was the worst in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the cause of the failure of some of the biggest financial institutions including Washington Mutual which was closed in 2008, and its assets transferred to JP Morgan. In 2008, the crisis reached its peak with loans dropping dramatically to the lowest levels to be witnessed in a half a century.

Since Vietnam, there has been much debate about the effectiveness of a military draft in uniting Americans in times of crisis and keeping the armed forces representative of all of America. Proponents of an American military draft believe that our current armed forces are not reflective of our diverse society because there is no requirement to join the war. While it is true that the armed forces do not actively reflect the American population, proponents of an American military draft are wrong in thinking a requirement to kill or die for country is a tool that can be used ...

The kind of leadership that a leader adopts influences the levels of motivation in the people that he or she leads. Similarly, the kind of motivation that one feels will determine the kind of leadership that they would most likely take. In other words, leadership and motivation are related, and one influences the outcome of the other (Buble, Juras, & Matić, 2014). For instance, when one’s motivation is to stay in the leadership position for the longest time possible without facing any rivalry, the individual is likely to exercise authoritarian leadership. On the other hand, when one adopts a ...

Part 2 I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014).

Spain is regarded as Europe’s next Greece (Flamini, 2012). The political turmoil in the country has significantly been affected by the country's economy. The country had a yearlong economic crisis that propelled the rate of unemployment to rise. This negative economic environment forced some of its labor force to migrate to other countries in search of job opportunities. Additionally, the country experiences an inadequate health care system. A bigger percentage of the children in the country experience malnutrition since their parents cannot afford a balanced diet for their families. Crime is a characteristic of a failing economy.

Thomas Jefferson (1743- 1826) and Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) served as the US presidents from 1801 to 1809 and from 1829 to 1837 respectively. The two popular presidents made significant contributions to the development of democracy in the United States. Historians and policy makers have criticized the two for acting in ways that seemed to compromise the very democracy they professed to uphold. Andrew Jackson stands as the president who better upheld the ideals of democracy and interests of the common man as he expanded voting rights, regulated the US National Bank and resolved the nullification crisis among many other ...

Often this leadership comes out of the academic community. As such, the purpose of the current essay is to determine in what ways academics can contribute on issues of ...

Prior to November 1941, Europe was in war crisis (Seton-Watson, 1945). The United States could have chosen to cooperate in the rehabilitation of Europe either actively or passively. Either way, one method or the other could have been chosen. Try as might have, it is not possible for the United States to ignore Europe, despite choosing passive parts. Such passivity, if attempted, means tremendous struggle, far more challenging for the country to live through than the entire nation comprehends. It might have resulted easily in a struggle for the lives of the people. On the contrary, choosing to join ...

Macroeconomic and Account Balances

India is seen to react rapidly to volatility in the global economic environment as concurred in the modifications of the macroeconomic policies when the North Atlantic financial crisis occurred (Kapur and Mohan, 2014, p.1). However, India’s policy changes is perceived by Kapur and Mohan (2014, p.1) to be temporarily stimulating to the local economy since the expected growth will gradually slowdown. But the additional effect is that inflationary and BoP pressures remain constant, which can either by improved or worsened by the domestic policy bottlenecks (Kapur and Mohan, 2014, p.1).

The Aral Sea is located in Central Asia and was the fourth largest saline lake in the world containing 10grams of salt per liter before its water supply was interrupted (Rama, 2002).

This led to the transformation of the desert into cotton farms among other forms of farms. Diversion of the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya rivers led to environmental, social, and economic effects felt by ...

Three of the most common initiatives that can prepare and guide RNs for emergencies include the Clinical Outreach (COCA), Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC), and Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

Contrarily, CERC trains them on the ethics of crisis and risk communication in health care. Finally, EMAC offers shared personnel, resources, and equipment across state lines during health disasters (CDC, 2016). For example, during the recent Zika outbreak in Florida, the CDC collaborated with like-minded agencies to educate ...

In this regard, I believe the writer is arguing that there is uncertainty over the events that may happen following the incident. Further, in the modern age, viruses and bacteria are always transforming ...
