Essays on Eyes

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 ...

Where did the idea of the American Dream first originate? Immigrants to the New World were bent on creating a new society, one that thrived on democratic principles, where they could worship freely and having equal standing in the eyes of the law regardless of their financial situation or social status. We believe these ideas to be our own, but they are not; these ideas are not uniquely American ideas. They are drawn from the beliefs of the early Protestants, specifically the ideas of separation of church and state, equality for all and hard work and integrity. The first ...

It was a beautiful sunny day with white clouds sailing in the blue sky. I kept walking enjoying the breeze blowing in the face. Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly realized it was very dark and I was lost in forest so deep where I could not even see the stars. Apparently I walked into a dimensional portal that transported me into a different place. I am no longer in a dark forest but I was now floating in the middle of a galaxy. The short time that I could not see the stars was replaced with the most ...

Understanding the nature and connection between the mind and the body is less about finding one definite answer and more about the lasting implications that arise when probing into such a question. What does it mean to be a human being? Is humanness simply the body, or is it the desires and inclinations that make up our complex personalities? Are mind and soul one and the same? These questions arise in the Star Trek episode, “The Measure of a Man,” where Picard and Maddox view the same thing, Data, in two different ways. Maddox is initially guided by the ...

There is a day I had visited a nearby store as I wanted to buy a pair of shoes. When I got to the shop, there was this attendant of Asian accent, probably from China or Japan. I was not really sure about what I wanted, so I had many questions. However, I realized that the attendant was avoiding eye contact. At first, I ignored the behavior and kept talking, hoping that the attendant will eventually realize that I was anticipating eye contact. However, to my disappointment, there never came a time that the attendant even attempted to ...

Impact of Technology on Human Lives Technology has been a gift of Science to the Human beings and has made lives simpler, easier and has brought people close to each other. We have reached a situation where we can see and talk to people who are thousands of miles away from us, thanks to technology. We can now attend classes, learn about different domains and even work from home. But, there is a down side to everything. Technology does not always play a helping hand and it has it downsides that has affected the lives of people around the ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Health History

Introduction Health history assessment is a vital part of the nursing process. This process establishes the foundation through which nurses can diagnose and create a care plan for their patients. That said, incorrect health assessments may result in misdiagnosis, hence wrongful care plan development. For this task, I interviewed Anna, L. (not her real name). The following discussion encompasses a review and reflection of this interview.

Demographic Data

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve. Asian Americans have proved their ability and they have been credited for one of the major drivers of American economy. They are called “Model Minority”. The previous generations of Asian Americans came to this land to shape their future and the future of their next generations. They got liberty and opportunities to prosper as elite Americans. It clearly indicates that America is a land of liberty and ...

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 ...

Introduction

Proper presentation of data collected during a study is imperative to the credibility of a research. In fact, lack thereof compromises the interpretation embraced by the people relying on such information due to the possibilities of miscommunication in the presentation process. As such, researchers ought to follow a compelling approach whilst communicating the results of their study regardless of the research design followed. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple research approaches followed in the delivery of psychological research information. According to the Emergency Medicine Journal, the popular research designs include observational ...

It stands right there when the door moves out of the way, silently reciting stories of all of the glory and every hour spent building it from sheer metal and cloth. The gentle curves of the car say all there is to say for her, and just like that, the hand rests on the bonnet. Every bend in its metal and every contour stands out yet it feels like it was built to be the part of the car all along. It is silver, and the color itself has never given more class to any other object in the ...

Today, they were burning books. These were the last books on Earth, found in the house on the outskirts of the city. They were creating and, at the same time, listening to the Symphony of Fire, in which every note was a burned paper with empty words, written once by someone.

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter what was inside these books when outside, there is so much fun glancing at dancing flames destroying a relic of the past? For them, it was more important to find every hidden book, throw down imaginary idols from their pedestals, tear apart books with ...

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend. Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

The managers of public sectors are confronted by the dilemmas related to ethics because they effort to select options surrounded by the values set. Ethical problems might emerge from similarly alluring alternatives that may perhaps be defended as the right one in some circumstances (Ehrich, Cranston & Kimber, 2004). The starting of the twenty-first era has shown the profession of accountancy as the biggest challenge to continue. Such task highlighted the need for the profession to make stronger the self-assurance of public in its ethics plus efficiency (Onyebuchi, 2011). The scandals related to accounting that is found out frequently in ...

The main emphasis of Gestalt theories is that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. The whole refers to the wholeness of once perception. Perception may mean a totally different thing if it is considered in parts. Gestalt Psychology is a school of psychology that was founded in the 20th century. The school provided psychological theories that are the basis for modern day perception psychology. Gestalt is a German word and refers to how things are put together or placed. It is often translated into English as “form” or “shape” or “pattern” or “configuration”, which ...

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

Coffee shops are suitable for friendly, relaxed conversations, which is why I like to visit Starbucks in Morgantown, West Virginia. The smell of good quality coffee and the friendly atmosphere attract many people who want to discuss or just spend some time having a cup of coffee or tea. One morning, while enjoying a Venti cafe latte and swapping through my smartphone, I had the opportunity to observe the conversation patterns and tacit rules between two friends, sitting close to me. The Starbucks coffee shop that I frequent is always well – lit, clean and welcomes visitors with a warm ...

In the nursing profession change in curriculum change is a constant requirement. The changes in health care sector have overwhelmed the service providers,consumers and insurance companies due to their sheer pace,magnitude and intensity. Reforms in the health care sector has affected the nursing profession and nurse educators have to constantly revise and up-date the curriculum to prepare and equip the nurse practitioners with relevant skills and knowledge. This helps the nurses to manage the challenges encountered at the work place.

The first time I visited my girlfriend’s mother, I found a hole on my socks when I took off shoes The big day had come, finally my girl friend’s perfect strict mother took some interest in knowing more about me. I was invited to my rich girl friend’s bungalow. In fact palace would be the right word. I was busy rehearsing in my mind on my greeting lines which would impress Clara’s mother straight away. After all it was almost like impressing a queen. I wanted everything to be just perfect. I was telling myself ...

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 ...

Report on Idea Generation through Observation

Introduction In the scientific world, researchers have the duty to utilize various forms of senses to interact with the environment and to ensure that they can make proper studies and conclusion. They rely on the eyes to conduct the observation and idea generation which is mainly based on the observing the animals. According Yeater, Kuczaj, & Stan (2010), observational learning enables humans to ensure that they know their environment. This was based on the study of the dolphin and it depicted that the study itself evoked stimulus and more interest into understanding the animal. Observational behavior allows the researchers to ...

INTRODUCTION

With the collapse of the USSR towards the stretch of the last decade of the last century, the Cold War – that delicate seesaw balance of power between the United States and the Union Soviet Socialist Republic – ended resulting significant changes, especially in the areas of intelligence and espionage. Russia’s standing in the international community as a superpower has diminished and presumably, its capabilities in intelligence gathering. Prior to the end of th4e Cold War, Russia closely competed with the US in terms of intelligence gathering and collection. Russia’s chief intelligence arm is the notorious KGB known for ...

UCOR-2500-13 Close Reading of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave “There would, therefore,” I said, “be an art of this turning around, concerned with the way in which this power can most easily and efficiently be turned around, not an art of producing sight in it. Rather, this art takes as given that sight is there, but not rightly turned nor looking at what it ought to look at, and accomplishes this object” (Republic 518D-E). The foregoing quote in the Allegory of the Cave provides insight into the importance of proper education and balanced teachings that would enable people ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

The definition and summary of what is and should be allowed for when it comes to animals and their confinement and purpose is up for debate. There are people that feel that any treatment of animals is all well and good due to their lesser status as compared to humans. There are others that suggest that animals should have as many rights as humans and that they should be given equal status. Of course, the more reasonable answer is somewhere in between those two extremes given that non-human animals are clearly not on the same level as humans. At ...

I visited the Al Ahdy Orphanage (Cairo, Egypt) on June 13th, 2016. That was my first visit to the orphanage, and on the night before it I could barely sleep. I was worried, afraid of being late, and I did not know what exactly I was expected to do there, how to do it, whether the children will accept me, and so on. After all, it was necessary to find a common language with the kids. It was very exciting and scary. My friend Mohamed Zidan, who is a famous professional football player, joined me during this visit. When ...

Edgar Allen Poe wrote “The Raven” in 1945. The poem shows how lost love can lead to depression. Depression, and mental illness in general, is a topic common to many of Poe’s works, and he often uses an unreliable narrator as one of the primary means of showing such depression. Following the death of the woman he loved, a male speaker narrates “The Raven,” and through this first person account, the reader is allowed a glimpse of his descent into madness. Through the poem, Poe demonstrates to how the experience of losing a loved one can propel someone ...

Stephanie murmured in her sleep, but didn’t wake, as I crept out of bed. I pulled on my jeans and trudged down the stairs, trying to shake off the memory of last night’s argument; such arguments were becoming all too common these days. I didn’t understand how she could be so much fun, so loving, but then within minutes could behave like she was from a different planet. She was constantly disagreeing with me. I’d never understood Stephanie really, and maybe after two years, it was now too late. When I reached the kitchen and ...

A native citizen of Spain and a recognized king of bohemian Paris, Pablo Picasso was a bright example of versatile talent and fantastic commitment to his lifework. He continuously tried new styles and forms, looked for new color compositions, used unusual materials, and, when two-dimensional images started to seem him boring, founded cubism to give them a new dimension. Together with Georges Braque, Picasso massively determined art development of the twentieth century. The widely recognized ancestor of Picasso’s cubism is his painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon) created in 1907 during the African period of ...

Over the last few decades, there have been several changes in the roles of audit companies notably due to challenges that have affected the ethics and integrity of the institution of auditing. Traditionally, audit companies are mandated with the responsibility of analysing the financial systems, financial records as well as the compliance of companies’ financial reporting procedures with the specific national regulations. The effectiveness of audit companies in implementing these duties is extremely important in the public trust in business organizations around the world. Local and international investors rely on the accuracy of audit reports produced by audit companies ...

I want to learn how to manage my stress. As well as other people, I experience stressful situations every day, and I notice that inability to manage the received stress disturbs my sleep and causes neurosis: I constantly feel anxiety and often experience excessive sweat, trembling of my hands, and inability to sit motionlessly for more than 2-3 minutes. I hope that the ability to manage my stress will reduce its negative impact on my nervous system and release me from these symptoms. I think that at the moment, my perception and reaction to stressful situations are habitual, and ...

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 by design mocks the traditional love poems of Shakespeare’s times. More traditional love poems were rife with exaggerated comparisons that extolled the beauty of the beloved. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 outright makes fun of such things in lines like the opening: “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;” (1). While much of his poem is spent describing her lover’s shortcomings, in the end he claims to love her. Shakespearean sonnets are fourteen lines long and consist of four parts (Kennedy n.p.; Owen 260). The first three parts known as quatrains each consist ...

Michael Bloomberg is definitely among the public personas whose persistence, inventiveness and meticulousness became the foundation of successful entrepreneurship and overall affluence in financial, political and media realms. In addition to political career, Bloomberg’s greatest achievements in business are a global media empire and a financial data network bearing – quite naturally – the name of their decisive founder, Bloomberg LP. Having created a Wall Street company in 1981 (Anders, 2009) with an intention to collect, structure and deliver financial and trading information (Bainbridge, 2008, p. 27), Bloomberg has been expanding his empire further until today. According to Winfrey (2009, ...

Everyone, male or female, is subject to the whims and the pressures of society. Of course, not everyone has to bow or bend to the demands of society: there have been a plethora of counterculture movements that have focused on the need to rebel against the mainstream and against the demands that society places on people to conform. Human beings seem to have a simultaneous need within that drives them to want to stand out from the crowd, but also drives them to want acceptance from the crowd. For many, acceptance from the crowd requires conforming to many arbitrary ...

1. Routine Message: I was quite comfortable with Konrad Yakabuski’s assessment of our health care system. That is, until his last paragraph, where he states, “Younger doctors, motivated by more noble goals than money, seem to get this” (Doctors Don’t Get It: Health Care is a Team Game, Aug. 18). I am a 66-year-old family doctor with almost 40 years of practice under my belt. Fortunately, I really don’t need the money. I resent the implication that “older” doctors are less “noble” than younger ones. Most doctors were not looking for a personal boost to their ...

The story was selected as story of the month in July 2012 and had been listed as the Editor’s pick. The theme as the name suggests is about healing. The story is about the narrator, a lady, whose name is not specified, bereaving the loss of Adi, her husband. The story opens with her standing at a seaside home, with coffee in her hand.

The considered book to be analyzed is Blink: The power of thinking without thinking. The first to consider is the word title blink which is the action to shut and open the eye in an instant. The Author develops the idea that it is possible for humans to train the brain with experience and techniques to give a response to an external stimulus in a short time. The subtitle "thinking without thinking", from my point of view is a words play that gives the idea of the reader of the instantly of the process. It is possible to have ...

“Oedipus Rex”, “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, “The Glass Menagerie”

Nowadays, gender issues is a highly relevant topic in modern society which is not only raised in discussions, but also greatly present in the works of art. As one of the purposes of literature is to reflect the greatest concerns and world problems and speak up for them, the works describing the current role of woman in society are of a great importance. Moreover, the way the female characters are presented in the literary works make a great influence on how they are viewed in reality – that is why the depiction of women in literature needs to be thoroughly ...

How do the gods interact with each other in the council scene of Book 1? What reasons do they give for their actions towards humans? The gods are respectful towards each other. They speak in turns and determine the fates of human beings. However, sometimes they disagree in opinion as in the case of Poseidon disagreeing with the other gods concerning Odysseus. The gods expect human beings to obey them, and failure to do so results in punishment to the human beings. The gods make the rules of the land and expect human beings to abide by these rules.

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”. A well taken case should include complete description of the patient’s mental, physical and social well being. Mere jotting down of physical signs and symptoms may not give the true picture of a disease. As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...

Many historical recordings document the lives of people who have lived the life that our greatest example, Jesus Christ, spoke that a Christian should live. Many of these people have been leaders. Some have shown themselves not full of avarice, or greed, in keeping with Christ’s rebuke from the scriptures of Luke, and have shown no interest in making the house of God a “den of thieves” (Biblegateway, 2016). The Apostle Paul is a great example of a Christian who happened to be a leader, although he never held a particular office in the Christian Church building as ...

For centuries humans have looked for a higher power to worship. The question is: Why are there so many religions? Are those religions similar somehow? Even though, religions have some aspects in common – there is a higher power, they believe in a creationist theory, they all have a printed version of their beliefs, they act by faith, among others. The reality of living in a multicultural world influences what people believe and how they manifest it. Societies have shaped their religions in accordance to what their ancestors believed and what they have experienced in their own reality. One cannot ...

Edgar Allan Poe, the celebrated American writer, critic and editor, holds a prominent place among the literary circle. He is famous for his excellent short stories and poems, surrounded by an aura of anonymity and obscurity. He can rightly be termed as a Romantic who is often recognized as the forerunner of the detective fiction and science fiction. His personal life endured many ups and downs. The tremors of love and feelings find persuasive expression in most of his works. The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell- Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death are some ...

Juvenile delinquency has long been a sensitive topic. It often encompasses the disciplines of morality, ethics, and criminal justice and law enforcement. The same is true for other hotly debated and related topics such as the over-criminalization of youths, youth policing, and the war on drugs and how it affects the mindset and social behavior of young people. There has also been numerous works that have been published about these topics. One of those was Punished Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys. Punished was a book published by Victor Rios in 2011. What makes this book a ...

Invisibility of Women - Literature analyses of “The Women Men Don’t See” by James Tiptree Jr. in compare and contrast to “Invisibility in Academe” by Adrienne Rich

Introduction

The two literary texts analyzed in this essay are centered on the subject of feminine rights, power, and gender equality. James Tiptree expresses disdain for male domination in his story ‘The Women Men Don’t See’. He is concerned with the blatant disregard for feminine rights and identity flaunted by male dominance. On the other hand, Adrienne Rich writes an account of the feminine struggles in the 19th and 20th centuries. ...

Tennyson, “The Eagle”. Discussion Question: How is the solitary eagle’s strength emphasized in the first stanza? Does the reader “join” the eagle in the second stanza? How or how not? The reader joins the eagle in his dive in the second stanza through the metaphorical comparison with a thunderbolt. Captivated by the bird’s masterful and exact description in the first part of the poem, the reader has no choice but to follow the eagle’s majestic fall towards the water. This is also achieved by the personification of the predator, as the author uses pronouns “he”, and “ ...

Good day! I am here today to speak to you about Area 51. Much has been said and written about Area 51. The main perception of this area is that it is so secretive such that there are many theories that abound to this day about Area 51. It has been romanticized in books, papers and films that the area is the site where an alien ship crashlanded, that it is an area where meetings with aliens are held, and that time travel and teleportation are held here as well. Today, I would like to provide with information that ...

Introduction The work of history and historians isn’t a simple one. Historians must find sources, analyze them, think about them and decide which stories are worth telling and which ones should be left in the background or completely ignored. This function which can easily be summed up as representation is the hardest part of the historian’s job and something which has changed a lot in the past few decades. History writing in recent years has changed its focus from a top-down perspective where the decisions of the privileged, powerful connected few are explored and analyzed to the ...

We might not think of it as a problem, but how many times a day do you take your phone to text your friend? Texting can be easily turned from a habit into an addiction without noticing. In “The Joy of Texting”, Lynne Truss states that texting is a “sneaky form of communication”, and it can both simplify and complicate your life. It seems to be more popular among the youth and more preferable than conversations on the phone and, perhaps, even engaging in a face-to-face conversation. Texting is able to make communication much easier among users, because it ...
