Essays on Hint

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism. Fascism, as a movement, as an ideology has done so much evil to this world in the relatively recent years that some of those who had to struggle from it are still alive, and can still recollect whatever horrors they have encountered, and these memories can still make one’s hair rise, and one’s breath stop. However, it would be simply unfair to say that fascism is the worst that ...

Set in the backdrop of the freedom marches that used to recur in Birmingham, Alabama, against racial segregation, the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” is a simple and direct account of the 1963 bombing at 16th street baptist church that killed 4 young girls and injured many others (history, 2016). Instead of seeking the support of refined poetic words to make this portrayal exquisite, Dudley Randall had opted simplicity over complexity to reach out to as many readers as possible. Using the rhythmic flow of a ballad (generally referred to as Ballad meter) the poet has made the poem worthy ...

Despite the fact that both the United States and Brazil have a history of the institution of slavery, each country documented a different reaction to the emancipation of those in bondage. Racial relations among Brazilians were significantly different in comparison to the documented experiences of African Americans residing in the United States after the abolition of slavery. For instance, while African Americans became subject to discriminatory laws that included Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes, Brazil did not experience the same form of government-imposed racism. In other words, legislations did not institutionalize racism among the people of Brazil; however, ...

Workers in many occupations want a stronger voice in the workplace and there is increasing recognition that this is a fundamental human right. Do you believe that voice in the workplace is a fundamental human right? Why or why not?  Having a voice in the workplace is not only fundamental, it is part of the dividing line that separates slave labor from free labor. Payment is not the only form of suppression. By eliminating the voice of the employees, you eliminate the company’s ability to grow. A company is not run solely upon the information and opinions provided ...

Ai Weiwei and Zhang Xiaogang are Chinese contemporary artists. While both are leading conceptual artists in the country, they seek to evoke different messages using their art work. Ai Weiwei’s art is motivated by the need to inspire freedom and the expansion of individual space away from government and society. It is therefore the case that Ai Weiwei by virtue of eliciting such emotions practiced artistic activism. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaogang is respected in his own right. His art more or less seeks to evoke memories which he says serve as his greatest inspiration. He especially ...

In one of his most influential theological and philosophical works, Blaise Pascal defends Christian religion, referring to its complex nature, human thinking mechanisms and various misunderstandings that surround the issue. In this essay I shall demonstrate that throughout the discourse, Pascal appeals to spiritual agnosticism, when proving his point. This shall be established by analyzing the passage, which says: “We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart, and it is in this last way that we know first principles; and reason, which has no part in it, tries in vain to impugn them” (Pascal ...

Introduction

The history of civilization with all of its setbacks and advances can be termed as a chronicle of leadership outcomes, since the decisions of the leaders of various rank and files all along the journey of civilization caused either prosperity or loss in one or the other spheres of the society. Thus, the awareness regarding the value of leadership and the urge to find or create leaders have already produced a large body of leadership literature. On the other hand, people still believing in the old adage, leaders are born and cannot be made, keep arguing that leadership theories ...

Introduction

Perhaps the biggest mysteries in life are those that exist between the chasm created by the difference in the sexes. Males and females are different. They appear different to each other.

The Most Controversial & Debated Plant in the Country

Whether one has first-hand experience or not, most Americans are aware of what Cannabis looks and how it smells. However, beyond that many people cannot agree on much else concerning the uses, laws and policies of this one, single plant.

There seems to be a general perception of America and its permanence as a dominant global power will not, or should not, last much longer. One particular view, and the most common of all, is that the United States is declining economically, politically and socially.

Fallows finds amusing that the idea of a declining America has been around ever since the foundation of the country, yet the collapse never seems to happen. His article is full of examples of how intellectuals, politicians, ...

Introduction

"The Great Gatsby" is an Australian-American film released in 2013 based on the bestselling novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald written in 1925. Directed by Baz Luhmann, "The Great Gatsby" provides the source of this academic discourse. The analysis of the sociological issue of deviance portrayed in the 2013 movie "The Great Gatsby" connects to the immoral actions of the era about ill-gained riches, social snobbery, racism, sexism, and excess in a time of national economic depression, immorality and marital infidelity, and murder.

This essay aims at comparing and contrasting the theme of fantasy and wishful thinking as presented in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman (1949) and also in Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie (1945). Both playwrights have intensively used characters who resort into habits of escapism into fantasy and wishful thinking to free themselves from their miserable existence. The main sources of their predicaments are their consistent failures in achieving their dreams, little interaction and communication with family members coupled with personal insecurities. Due to these facts, they all have a common problem which is frustration and boredom. They resort ...

Nosocomial infections are infections that occur within forty-eight hours of being admitted in hospital, three days of discharge or thirty days of a surgery. Most prominent ones are pneumonia, urinary-tract infection, surgical and bloodstream infection. In the previous years, research indicated that at minimum 5% of patients develop nosocomial infections. With the increased use of invasive procedures, current research shows that more than 8% of patients now acquire nosocomial infections. Acquisition of the infection causes the patient to stay in hospital 2.5-times longer than expected and consequently incur extra costs (Ken & Alison, 2013). In extreme cases, the infections lead to ...

On the other hand, Samuel Beckett, an Irish Dramatist changed the traditional drama as shown in his work in “Waiting for Godot”.

With the silent pauses of the monosyllables, Frost manages to say a remarkable lot through the compressed cadence of this unusually short poem. The smoothness of a lyric, the simplicity of a rhyme and a delicacy if highest order, the poem “nothing gold can stay” stands out because of the brevity in the message implied. Sired with several connotations and numerous contemplations Frost isn’t concerned with the direct passage of the meaning. It is a minefield of arguments, cryptic derivations and surface level meanings. Heavily end stopped and finalizing in its tone, it has a haunting and a captivating charm that is at once sonorous ...

Article Critique: Dealing with Annoying Co-Workers

This article by Green (2011) suggested tactics for dealing with co-worker types that probably most of us have encountered at one time or another. The term “co-worker” suggests an office or industrial environment, but it’s a safe bet that the characters portrayed by Green could be an irritation in any environment where people congregate: in school, college, clubs, on sports teams, etc. You name it, they’ll be there somewhere! Perhaps a thought that should come to mind when reading such an article is: “Am I one of those types!?” It’s a natural human instinct to believe that such ...
