CHAPTER THREE: MAN AND ARAB MASCULINITY

Cultural and societal representation of Arab masculinity is thereby rather complex and might emerge in a variety of contexts including family and society on the larger scale.

Introduction The world “Existential” refers to the experience of existence, and “existence” refers to a complete and “whole” life (Sykes, 2010). Existential therapy works on a belief that inner conflicts within a person occur due to certain issues of existence that are considered as “existential vacuum”, also referred to as “existential frustration” such as meaninglessness, apathy, boredom, and isolation (Yalom, 1980). It is a philosophical way of treatment (Sapp, 2010), and helps the client by showing him or her that the counsellor is with him or her rather than by doing things for the client (Iacovou & ...

Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns presents a relatively innovative and unprecedented interpretation of Bob Kane’s Caped Crusader, Batman. Instead of the heroic, principled crime fighter in his prime found in most DC comic versions of the character, Miller’s Batman is a terrifying, fearful middle-aged man dealing with both his own obsolescence and the conservative anxieties he has about the implications of Superman’s powers and abilities. On top of that, Batman has a much more absolutist, black-and-white version of justice, in which Batman’s inherent vigilantism is taken to its furthest conclusion. ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

The hateful mid-afternoon sun beat down us as if in complete spite and outrage that we dared defy it. As I looked up into the crowd I was reminded of the words of Mohandas Gandhi that satisfaction lies in effort and not in attainment or success. Once, during the uncomfortably ho afternoon, even the little wind that had made the rest of the morning bearable had finally kept off, so much so that the air then felt like a thick and wet blanket. My skin felt equally dry and sticky with dry sweat and dust, but it did not ...

This paper looks at Shakespeare's use of reflections, doubles and (in particular) twins in his play Twelfth Night, or What You Will (referred to as Twelfth Night hereafter), and the way the use of this concept affects the characters and plot. In this play, Shakespeare's use of the term "glass" refers to mirrors both literally and metaphorically. Historically and in Twelfth Night, mirrors have literally reflected the outside of an object and metaphorically reflected an individual's inner mind. The idea of mirroring and twins is particularly relevant to the primary events of the play, since they involve the identity ...

In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party.

The documentary which I selected for this analysis is The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr. The documentary revolves around the famous mixed martial artist and wrestler Mark Kerr and his problems with drug use. The greater issue in the film is the fate of mixed martial arts as not just a sport but a business enterprise. The reason why Kerr’s career took the route it did was because mixed martial arts fights were banned in the USA because they were too bloody and dangerous. This forced Kerr to go abroad to Japan where he ...

All people on earth, regardless of their religious affiliations aspire that one day, they will go to this place for their second life. Because of such beliefs, the religious systems tend to have similar principles of morality and law because such principles are supposed to guide them to meet the ...

Introduction

One among the accepted reality in international relations is the prevailing recognition of the idea that terrorism is the weapon of the weak.

However, many political analysts argued that terrorism is not solely associated as resort taken by the weak to get their messages across, rather, it also a means by which the strong impose their will on the former.

- Introduction: Traditional conceptions refrained women from fighting fire and developed a theory that men should be the ones handling the job. But, the roles have transformed with the passage of time and the entrance of women in this and other mainstream businesses.

This was not an easy way out as there were multiple issues involved, ranging from behavior of male colleagues, outcaste status at the office and ill equipped machineries.

Apartheid is best described as government institutionalized racism and is Afrikaans for apartness. The South African government disfranchised black voters and non-white citizens. An American example that is similar is the Jim Crow laws in the south While there was wide spread racism in South Africa for several years before that, it was made into law in 1948. It took the resolve of Nelson Mandela to guide the country in a new direction. Nelson ...

In this regard, James McTeigue’s 2006 film V for Vendetta – as well as the graphic novel of the same name that it ...
