Let’s imagine you are on the island and you want to eat. Englishmen, as a rule, are not concentrated on food too much. They can choose to buy food in the shop and to eat at home or to go to some pub. All pubs are nearly the same. But only some restaurants in London can impress their visitors. I want to start my story about one special place that I want to visit more again and that has impressed me a lot. I would like even to work there one day if it is possible, but it ...

I believe that making a summary is a challenging task. Reproducing a shorted form of the author’s ideas, particularly in large works (e.g. chapters), can be overwhelming. Understanding the thoughts in details is one thing. Compressing it while staying faithful to the central ideas I believe will compress my brain as well. I cannot imagine compressing a 10,000-word chapter in 250-word summary. My first reaction was: even stringing the key words together into a summary may not limit the volume into 250 words. Hard the task may be, I believe certain skills can be learned in forcing ...

Abstract

Nowadays, the role of English can be hardly overestimated. Being a truly global language, a pathway to greater opportunities and the window to broader knowledge and other cultures, English keeps widening the horizons of its possibilities and functions. At the same time, teaching English as a foreign language requires taking great responsibility and, therefore, it often appears as a truly challenging task. This research aims to consider the importance of teaching English as a second language and the implications that may arise during the learning process so as to define key tendencies and principles in ...

At Fulton, Missouri, Churchill delivered a memorable speech, where he used descriptive phrases that surprised both Britain and the United States. Prior to his speech, Britain and the United States (U.S) were concerned with their unique post-war economies (Boyer 47). He had all along been grateful to the Soviet Union, for playing a pro-active role in bringing World War II to an end. It was his speech that changed the way in which the Communist East was viewed by the Democratic West. Being one of the Grand Alliance’s architects, Churchill recognized that its dissolution was a tragic reality. ...

The pigeonhole principle is a simple but powerful concept that is used in tackling combinatorial mathematics problems in a systematic manner. In simple terms, the principle states that if some objects need to be placed in boxes that are lesser in number than the objects, then at least one box will have two objects. The concept was formulated in 1834 by a German mathematician named Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. In his original publication, Dirichlet used a German word that meant drawer in English (Brualdi, 2008). The word soon changed to pigeonhole that is an open space on a wall ...

“Los Vendidos” written by Luiz Valdes is a one-act play that depicts and ridicules the stereotypes of Mexicans in California. It is a satiric play that shows the social inequality in the American society in the 1960-ies. So much has been said about the discrimination of the Afro-Americans, but I even could not imagine Latinos and Mexicans facing a similar situation. This play attracts attention to the social issues that have not been solved even after 40 years. Although it is full of ridiculous and rather witty moments, the message of the play is serious and profound. The author ...

It was in 1839 when England and China went to war. The British were upset because the Chinese authorities closed its drug trafficking racket and shut down the country’s dope. The Qing Dynasty which was established by the Manchurians back in 1644, made the borders of China bigger and even reached Taiwan, Tibet, and Uighur Empire. However the Qing Dynasty refused the Western ambassadors because they could not accept the Qing Dynasty as its superior. Foreigners and trade ships were not allowed to enter China except in Canton. Foreigners could trade their goods in Guangzhou in exchange for ...

During my rather short lifetime, I had understood what life is, what are difficulties in it, and that there is the way out from any situation. The thing that always helped me to keep the lights on was the support of my close relatives and my religion. The complete change in my life came during the time called Ramadan. Three years ago, I was a high school student. These times prove to be the hardest for me. At first, I worried not to fail the high school, but my parents persuaded me that there is nothing to worry about ...

2012 was the most important year for me because it was the year my entire family was waiting for one moment: my graduation from high school. Unfortunately, I failed to do this, and was ignored by everybody who had waited so long to see it happen. It was a surprise to everybody, as before 2012, I had been the most hardworking one of any of us. Starting in secondary school my GPA remained above 3.6. As I went on to high school it stayed the same. Last year, however, I experienced a valley in my educational career. I had ...

Having rediscovered the traditional German fairy-tale about Snow White and the wicked queen, Neil Gaiman introduces a perspective, quite different from others previously expressed. In his story Snow, Glass, Apples Snow White and the queen appear in different colors. They are both strong, and they both appear to implement their powers in their own ways. In the story, Neil Gaiman seems to present both female characters from different perspectives, enduing them with both traditional and feminist traits of their personalities. The entire story by Gaiman seems to be a feminist interpretation of the traditional German fairy-tale by Grimm brothers. ...

Understanding health care utilization and the underlying processes, as well as attitudes from the point of view of patients and providers, is important in today’s complex health care environment. One of the principal objectives in the management of health care utilization is the reduction of practice variation through defined parameters that seek to ensure a cost-effective use of health care resources. However, factors related to individual determinants of utilization of health care services as well as the enabling factors must be taken into consideration in the discussion of health care utilization. Looking at the case of San Antonio, ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

What is the research question (or questions)? This may be implicit or explicit. Did the authors describe the research design of this study? If so, give a description. The researchers/authors stated that they used unstructured interviews to assess patient experiences with the help of purposive sampling. All interviews were based on open questions and the interviews were assessed based on existential phenomenology (Witlatch n/d.). The authors were inspired by the concept of interviewing patients and phenomenology based on French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (George & Thomas 2010). Phenomenology is based on the assessing individual experiences which help in identifying key ...

The American society is full of different ethnicities and races. However, every ethnicity aims for better life and understanding between each other. For achievement of these goals, the better solution may be found as education. Though, it is a very complicated and controversial issue. Hence, every ethnicity has different perspectives of the process of obtaining the education. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that the opportunities for getting an education are not equal. Therefore, this inequality forms a level of education among the popularity of the USA. This issue has been deeply investigated among the sociologists and ...

English is the main language of communication used in the East Asia as a lingua franca in all types of international contacts.

The internationally recognized status of English as the major language of worldwide communication has been formed by a number of historical and economical factors, including colonization periods in East Asia and the international importance of ...

My parents were in military, so I spent most of my early life apart from them as they relocated every three years. This day was not only peculiar in that my mother came to pick me up, but it was the last Thursday I would ...

LeFebvre (2011, p.391) revealed that despite being considered as an emerging market India is considered to be very democratic as well as being the fifth largest global economy. But one of its biggest advantage for foreign companies is that English (Smith, 2014) is the language used in doing business transactions (LeFebvre, 2011, p.391). However, despite being a former British colony there are significant differences especially on the Indian culture, values and norms (Khare, 2011, p.365). Khare (2011, p.365) further disclosed that India’s economic standards and sociocultural factors have transformed due to the increasing number of foreign companies that ...

Research Question: What Strategies and concepts can teachers use to enhance English comprehension-levels in learners?

Problem and Purpose: Enhance English Comprehension in Learners Theory: Mental Model Theory Theorist: Phillip Johnson-Laird and Ruth Byrne Primary Postulates of Mental Model Theory (Relation to problem and purpose) The theory stipulates that in order for learners to comprehend what they are learning, they must have the ability to create mental picture or models of what they are reading. For example, when one is reading fiction, it has to be reconstructed in the mind thus helping the student stay in track of what is being talked about in the reading (Casper, Catton & Westfall, 1998). The creation of the mental ...

America was beginning to become a powerful and vital nation in the world in the twentieth century.

In the 1920s, America was beginning to grab attention in the international scene. Europe was fading, while America was appearing as a dominant nation. However, this is not because of the popularity ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

Introduction A hashtag is an official word found in the OED which promotes ideas that are propagated in professional and academic institutions. Hashtags are mainly used in social media forums.

Hashtags were pioneered several years ago by a Google employee. Linguists referred to hashtags as paralanguage which fall in ...

Gender equality is an issue that has persisted throughout history and pervaded the same on one level or another.

While many countries, including the one mentioned throughout this report, have been able to advance and progress in major ways, there are still a ton of opportunities to learn and grow.

The European Union is the result of the flow of economic integration in the world. It was created in 1958 and became a powerful economic group. Within the framework of the Union, the benefits of mutual trade are established, the general economic policy is carried out, and restrictions on the movement of goods, capital, and labor are constantly removed (Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz, 2014).

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

The most recommended book, in the field of font design and styles, The Elements of Typographic Style is a legendary milestone of Robert Bringhurst. Not only Amazon, but thousands of other web pages provide thorough reviews about the very book. Though the subject of the book is considered disproportionately impassioned and somehow nit-picky, unlike some fictions or biographies, the readers are loathed to set down saluting to the page-turner. The paper consists of a critical analysis of the aforementioned book in which we aim to not only summarize what the book is all about but how it is and ...

Gloria E. Anzaldua, in “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” uses language and the way it is used to forge and assert identity as a way to discuss the racial tensions that come from the strict binaries expected by society. While this extends chiefly to issues of white/non-white, particularly through the regulation hegemonic American society places on the languages spoken within it, there are issues of rich/poor, male/female, and others that are defined and asserted through language. In this respect, Anzaldua argues that ‘linguistic terrorism’ is often used by those in power to limit the speech and power of ...

This response addresses a personal past shared meaning experience and my learning outcomes from the event. I grew up with a best friend who was “of colour.” I did not see her as being different because my parents taught me from before I can remember that “people are all the same.” I believed just because our skin, hair and eyes were different, it did not matter because for me that is what “the same” meant. Of course, that is until my friend went with our family to a family reunion. When meeting my best friend, I watched as “my ...

Nobody has contemplated precisely on the complicated phenomenon why English has become so widespread and common all over the world. The ability to communicate in English fluently does not awake the feeling of surprise or pleasure on the foreigner’s faces. However, it is a rational and logical issue that English seems to be an international language or a lingua franca. From the historic point of view, one should mention Latin and its role all over the world. Many centuries ago, Latin was considered to be a lingua franca as well. However, after the Roman Empire lost its power ...

For example, a micro-theory in ethics could be described as ethical issues faced by an individual, like situations that provide conflicts of interest due to differences in beliefs and value systems. An individual who, due to his or her cultural orientation, follows a religious teaching that prohibits eating pork. As such, micro-theory examines the factors that could create ethical challenges for the person to defy or violate this belief. In so doing, the research should take into account his or her own ethical stance while conducting the study, as well as the well-being of the participants. Another example is ...

Indentured Servants

Indentured Servants

Introduction

At the beginning of the seventeenth century a lot of labor market institutions were created with the purpose of promoting the movement of labor. The majority of plantations in Southern English America, which were involved in the cultivation of tobacco, sugar cane, indigo and rice, began to feel an urgent demand for labor. Modern machinery was definitely providing considerable solutions, though human blood and sweat was still essential for the planting, cultivation and reaping of these commercial crops. As a result, many planters started to gradually introduce the idea of indentured servitude. This system, created because of ...
