Essays on Enjoyment

Various types of rewards work for me to motivate me to achieve a particular set of goals and these could either be at an intrinsic or extrinsic level.

At an extrinsic level these types of rewards may vary from pay for task completed, bonuses received afterward and the praise from mentors, colleagues or even family. For ...

Chapter Review

The idealism of race and property has existed since the early 20th century. The individual's race determined the economic, political, and social security. The author’s grandmother struggles with survival with two children living as a single mother. Eventually, she hides her identity as a Black woman at workplaces dominated by whites in order to secure her job. Her story illustrates the valorization of whiteness as treasured property in a society built on a racial castle (Harris, 1993). White supremacy over the Black people and Native American people transformed whiteness from color, to race, to status, and eventually to ...

Introduction

The term ‘social robot’ has become popular in the modern world and is almost being integrated into the modern day cultural constructs as usual. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) maintain that social technology is meant to invoke emotional attributes and to engage the human mind in a way that exceeds what is physical. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) argue that a robot is man’s effort at recreating his own self and it is with this semblance that the conceptualization of human-robot interaction has been captured. Dating back from the 18th century, inventors and scientists alike have been making numerous attempts at making ...

Art & Architecture

Introduction The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

Entertainment is having an enjoyment about something. In 1 Timothy 6: 17, the scripture says that God provides people with everything for their enjoyment. In other words, God has given people responsibility to enjoy themselves as much as they can. According to Idelman (2013), entertainment is doing what one is most passionate about. Just like the way God wants us to enjoy, I also have my form of entertainment as I feel so passionate doing what I love the most, and what brings happiness in my life. Therefore, I see my entertainment in church anytime I am singing. Just ...

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law, which identifies different discrimination issues and introduces some particular ways to resolve inequality. The Act was officially approved in 1990. From this time on, the situation of people with disabilities has shown some effort to improve. As an addition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this document supports the mission to eradicate any discrimination based on such features as age, race, gender, income, etc. However, in comparison to the Act of 1964, ADA aims to improve a more precise area of the action. Under its conditions, the employers ought to ...

I believe that the enjoyment that comes to poetry is not dependent on the poem, but on the poet who presents it. Many people who have been to a poetry class or a spoken word concert are likely to agree with me. Poetry, according to Emily Dickinson, a well-known poet, brings people's thoughts and emotions into being. It resonates with those emotions so deep that they cannot be uttered in the absence of poetry. My love for poetry has been a lifelong experience. I grew up in a family where intellectual growth was more important that our own physical ...

Introduction

Adolescence is a developmental period of individuals aged 13-19, which has its own peculiarities to distinguish between childhood and adulthood. Adolescents’ brain is not fully matured and is still subject to rapid development, which explains specific changes in youths’ reflecting and behavior. Spear (2013) supports this idea by claiming that “adolescent-typical ways of thinking and behaving appear in part neurobiologically based” (p. 11). In this regard youths’ social life relies on their perception of self-identity formed through family relations and peer networks in school and out of school. ...

It was clear upon walking into the welcome center that they were aiming for modernization. The lighting was relatively dim, with minimal electrical lighting coming from overhead, and most of the light in the entryway itself being provided by large windows. According to, Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment, lighting is a classic technique to modernize any space. The welcome center was able to do this well by providing adequate light, but also less light in order to make the space less abrasive. Not only is the space not lit with natural light, but the building is also more efficient. ...

Article 8 of the Human Rights Act1998 (HRA) provides that every citizen has a “right to respect for” their private life, their family life, their home and their correspondence” (HRA).

More specifically, Article 8 states that no public authority will interfere “with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society”.

Thesis: The Thirsty for beer advert is a perfection depiction of how the modern society appreciates having fun and being wild.

Introduction

Advertisements provide a medium for companies to communicate important features of their products to customers (Terkan 240).Famous ads have affected the culture of societies and its people. The classic case of adverts and their contribution to culture is the Soap Operas that came to be known as Soaps because the soap manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, sponsored all drama series of the early 20th century (Procter & Gamble).

Introduction

Literary appropriation may be defined as the legal beneficial and creative art of borrowing from literary work of another author to come up with a completely different work from the original (Adeney 2013). It is simply the unoriginal, imitative or different perspective of the original work as seen and created by the ‘new’ author. It is different from plagiarism, which is essentially copying, direct lifting of an author’s words without acknowledgement, stealing of another’s work or pirating. These borrowed ideas are geared towards achieving certain literary objectives such as to criticize, ridicule, create new literary work, prepare ...

Objectivity is a short and long term goal that has opened up an array of opportunities that closely relate to the achievement and attainment of targets. The use of proper budgets and schedules are of fundamental importance as they provide a track record of the financial prudency and work schedules that are a minimum requirement in having a successful professional ...

A significant amount of attention has been paid in the media toward a vanishing phenomenon in Western (and particularly American) culture: the middle class. The argument goes that, as skilled jobs have been sent overseas and corporations have moved offshore to avoid taxes, middle class jobs have been disappearing. The result is a widening gap between the rich and the poor. The middle class, though, provide a vital role in society. The middle class is largely responsible for the idea of civic stewardship. The middle class does not connect the idea of private property with natural resources, for example, ...

This often involves funding of project and the introduction of new projects to improve education in the UK. Child education is deemed important because it defines the fundamental structures of the future of the country.

Benefits of Pursuing a Specific Hobby I would like to begin by saying that the diversity of people’s abilities and qualities has expanded so much that it is getting hard to stand out from the crowd. Besides, it is difficult to reveal the whole potential of the human’s brain and body. Some of us are interested in gymnastics while others cannot do the split, because of the lack of training or physical inability. However, hobbies make our lives more exciting and pleasant. The first thing that should be noted is that people became engrossed in a monotonous ...

This here is a paper that aims to address, in a philosophical manner, the question on whether an individual’s ideologies oblige him to enjoy or sulk in happiness. Drawing on the conclusions made in the assigned readings and other significant philosophical texts, the author of this paper tries to answer the main question in a close ended but evidence-based manner. In order to do this, a working definition of the term ideology must be provided first. There are numerous ways how one can define ideology. Within a philosophical framework, ideology can be defined as a collection of beliefs, ...

Designed by Joseph Paxman in 1851 to accommodate the Great Exhibition that features the technological and cultural advancement from different parts of the world for the enjoyment of the English people (Phillips 14). The architecture of The Crystal Palace was dubbed as the “modern English” since the structure was an unusually simple and the lack of ornamentation, the unity, and functionality of the designs reinforce and stabilized the entire glass roofs and walls covering it and allowing the rays of the sunlight to penetrate within the building (Phillips 24-25). The whole building was also a rejection of traditional materials ...

1.1 Problem Statement The wedding niche is incredibly important for the overall success of the tourism industry in the country. Because of the relatively small nature of the economy in Tobago, any difficulties with any facet of the industry can be completely devastating overall.

Different individuals will have different perspectives and different assessments on the potential solutions for the economy, and it is important to determine ...

A lease is a contract between the lessor and lessee. In this case, Larry Landlord is the lessor and Roger Renter is the lessee. Under the lease agreement, both parties have respective rights, obligations, and duties. The lease agreement at issue is a residential lease. The old common law rule provided that lessees assumed the property “as is” and that the lessor made no promises or guarantees as to the condition of the property (Dukeminier, et al., 2010, p. 482). This common law approach proved problematic because it both discouraged landlords from making repairs while the tenant was in ...

ABSTRACT

Research agrees that one of the major influences on success in learning fluency in a second language is motivation. It is for this reason that instructors in second language acquisition understand how important it is to grasp accepted theories of the role of motivation in terms of types of motivation, how motivation influences the development of language skills, definitions of motivation, and how to teach effectively for the future success of their students. This paper discusses the major theories of accepted authorities on the influence of motivation on learning a second language and briefly correlates their findings with each ...

When it’s used right, the phrase “Time is Money” is a useful psychological trick for putting the use of time into perspective. The cost of money is always the same and the cost of time changes on circumstance. When we can give time an exact value, we will more likely be more smart and rational when we spend it. This is important for businesses to be able to do as well as for individuals because it helps to avoid risk behavior. But, it doesn’t always hold true to reality in every situation. Understanding how and why we ...

Abstract

This paper commences with a critical review and analysis of the concept of polyamorous relationships. It reviews how polyamorous relationships occur in society and how they are labelled. Fundamentally it involves a consensual relationship between more than two people. It involves the exchange of love, companionship and passion beyond just sex and it involves an understanding and consensus by the parties. Empirical research shows that polyamorous relationships are encouraged because it promotes more satisfaction and fulfillments to the parties. Since they are satisfied, they are also willing to give off their best to their other parties in order to ...

The very title of the essay appeals to the audience and alerts them to some extent, as Wallace uses the imperative construction to draw his readers’ attention. He doesn’t want only to explain his readers the matter from different points of view, but also to make them regard it in details and come to their own conclusions. “Consider the Lobster” is addressed to different kinds of audience: to tourists who are eager to visit the Maine Lobster Festival, to sea world scientists who are seeking answers to the questions of lobsters’ existence and survival, to seafood lovers who ...

Life has become lot more complicated than what it was ever before in the history of mankind. Probably, even in comparison to as late as the last fifty years, life today is far more complex, communicative, and all life events seem to happen in real time. Today, there is so much knowledge about everything and knowledge is virtually free. Knowledge no longer endows a strategic advantage on the holder of knowledge. There is so much complexity that everything seems specialize. Knowledge is so freely available today that everyone acquires it at all levels and therefore carry an opinion of ...

The United States has a secret competitive advantage over most other nation. The advantage, however, is not one that normally comes to mind in the public or is a focus of attention of the media or politicians. The advantage is that the U.S. attracts the largest number of immigrants in the world, and it has been doing so since its founding. Indeed, since the late 1700s, over 55 million people have immigrated to the U.S. and made it their home (ACLU). To be sure, except for the Native Americans, every other U.S. citizen is either an immigrant or a ...

As you may be aware, many managers today are realizing that there is something unique and distinctive about the generation that has been labeled the “millennial” generation. These employees, the children of the Baby Boomers, present managers with new and different problems—but new and different strengths as well.

Question 1

Widespread atrocities that were witnessed in the end of the twentieth century, and in particular the ones, associated with the NATO intervention in Kosovo, make the issue of humanitarian intervention topical for legal political and international ethical studies. The issue of humanitarian intervention’s morality is frequently viewed as a part of more general question of morality of war, because reality of humanitarian intervention is close to the one of the war (Coady,2002,p. 11). Adherents of different theories of international ethics offer mutually excluding approaches towards acceptability of humanitarian interventions. Grounded on moral universalism, cosmopolitan approach justifies humanitarian ...

Reflection

The objectives of this unit made me realize what my values are, how they are formed and which of them are most important for me. I have discovered that my top priority values are: health, friendship, enjoyment, family, wealth, accomplishment and religiousness.

I have been thinking about external and internal drives that form values. External are about how people see us and what is socially acceptable in a way and internal are about what makes me satisfied with who I am. Wekmeister says: "As we inspect and analyze our own experience of ourselves, we encounter here, too, a complex process ...

Going to college is an experience that is not afforded to everyone, but it has long been my personal goal to attend. I have always enjoyed learning, although sometimes my academic pursuits have taken a backseat to my more personal ones. I have always believed that learning is a lifelong process, however, and is not limited to the classroom-- this belief is one that has steered me in a variety of different directions over the years. From learning to play football to learning to cut hair, I have always had a thirst for new ideas and new experiences. This is one of the ...

Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

There he sits, nonchalantly reclining against the wall of the cell. The crescent form of the last banana in the bunch displays nature’s perfection – either that or he’s a sign of a creator with a sense of humor. I ate his brothers days ago, reveling in the satisfying sound of the soft crack their skins made as they split under the pressure from my grime-encrusted fingers. It’s as if I have control over life. I’m no longer in control of my existence – such is the nature of my captivity - , but with the systematic death of a ...

Introduction

Engagement in sports at an early age is vital for psychosocial development and physical fitness. However, the question has been whether children should focus on one sporting activity or engage in multiple activities. Specialization of the children in one systematized, competitive and controlled sporting activity at an early age, for a long time, has been a controversial issue. According to sport experts, engagement in organized sports nurtures positive child development (Hastie, 1998). However, most youth programs either encourage or require specialization at an early age. With time it becomes progressively natural for the youth to specialize in a single sporting activity. The ...

Stock flipping refers to buying stocks during an initial public offer with the intention of reselling them immediately at a profit. It is a short term investment strategy that takes advantage of existence of liquid markets. Institutional investors engage more in stock flipping than individual investors since they have more shares availed to them at the offer price .

Investment banks encourage stock flipping for various reasons. If an IPO is allocated only to long term investors, there will be no trade in the secondary market. The stocks will be in the public but they will be illiquid since nobody is selling. ...

Planned obsolescence, a manufacturing technique used in a large number of fields and industries, is the creation of devices and other goods with the intent that they will stop being usable after a given period of time. While planned obsolescence can be beneficial to a company by increasing profitability and sales, the practice has obvious detrimental effects to consumers and to the environment, raising the question of its ethical merit. Though planned obsolescence is not illegal, many people debate whether it is moral. In light of the social and environmental costs of planned obsolescence, it should be found that it is neither an ...

In recent years, there has been overwhelming interest by many researchers based on how active participation music impacts on educational activities especially for young school-going children. Besides the inherent attachment to music that cultures all over the world hold, music presents opportunities for young students that go beyond the musical sphere (Pitts, 2012). The value of music in educational studies is largely associated with its contribution to the developmental enrichment and social enjoyment. Music influences a number of things including intellectual development, literacy and numerical skills, language, and general attainment levels (Rauscher & Gruhn, 2008). What is more, music engagement ...

Midlife, or the age between 35 and 55, can be a complicated time for a woman. As a female enters these years, sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the waters because the things that once made her happy are no longer available, or as satisfying. This can be confusing. Other things that she never enjoyed before may be cast in a new light, and be even more enjoyable than the female ever thought possible. There may be complicated feelings about life satisfaction, which can lead to new discoveries or depression. The female may attempt sexual exploration as her body continues to mature, ...

Nelson Massad and Kevin Crowston What the article is about: Internet plays a progressively greater role in human life. Currently it is complicated to think about a person who is not aware of the terms “search engine”, “site” or “Web Page”. It was noted that the number of Internet users increases annually, so the number of customers, who wish to have the access to a huge amount of information on different products and services through service providers, also increases. Today the number of online start-ups and complement companies is magnifical, so consumers can do business with such providers, but they ...

What Is Utilitarianism?

Utilitarianism is the direction in ethics (ethical theory), according to which the moral value of an act is determined behavior or its usefulness. Utilitarianism is a new term introduced in general use; Mill should be considered a chief representative of the direction, denoted by the term Utilitarianism. Mill had predecessors mainly in Russian philosophical literature. If some historians consider it possible to talk about utilitarianism in antiquity, this is explained by mixing two concepts: utilitarianism and eudemonism, i.e., theories built on the concepts of use and enjoyment. The culprit of this confusion is the same Mill, who wished, in opposition of ...

Thesis: The writer uses a series of lush sensual series of contrasts to highlight his personal sense of loneliness and isolation indicating that emotions are more valuable than physical enjoyment.

Discussion:

The poem starts in the autumn garden as the writer is pulling the last young onions from the cold brown ground. The closing day flames and he glimpses a cardinal. After pulling the onions, he washes them and drinks the water flowing out from the icy metal spigot. This imagery provides a series of acute contrasts between many of the poem’s elements. Young onions have bright green tops that serve ...

Music is an art widely appreciated for its effect on the human psyche. Researchers are increasingly drawn to study the effect of music in the day-to-day lives of people with a bias toward quantifying its scope of impact and understand it as they do science. Personality theorists, cognitive psychologists and applied psychologists alike are interested in how a musical distraction has varying effects on the cognitive task performance per individual. Uhrbrock (1961) noted that amongst other observations, the quality of work can be adversely affected by the use of music in the work situation and Instrumental, rather than vocal, music is ...

Toys and games are a major contribution in the development of children. Many popular varieties of toys and games provide children with an impetus during their free time. This is in tandem with the belief of Piaget and Vigotsky who attest that play can improve a child’s behavior as well as an aid in developing sophistication about relationships. Haugen (2008) says that children play games as a form of leisure activity to enable them relax their mind. This provides them with an important learning experience that is important in their development. Toys and games enable social interaction when children play ...

Nothing compels one to enjoy other than Superego. Superego is the imperious of a French word jouissance that simply means toEnjoy! In as much as jouissance can be decoded as “enjoyment,” Lacan translators usually let it be in French so as to render its excessive and traumatic appeal: It is not like we are dealing with simple features, rather, it is dealing with an interruption that offers more pain as compared to the pleasure that comes along with it. This is normally the manner in which the Freudian superego is perceived, the cruel ethical support that bombards people with the ...
