1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

Discuss the positives and negatives of corporate culture in the competitiveness of a firm. Relate how firms should deal with different corporate cultures in mergers and acquisitions.

Climate change poses many risks to the lives of children. Because of the increase in temperature and extreme weather conditions brought by climate change, many communities are expected to suffer from food and water scarcity and perilous diseases and health complications. More disasters and humanitarian crises would bring long-term displacements and disruption to educational and economic activities (UNICEF, p.8). Given this situation, the future of children at the worldwide scale remains under peril. Governments and other agencies concerned on the welfare of children must do something to address this worsening situation, or the children will pay the price. Climate ...

Most of us like eating food that looks good, vegetables that fit the standard and fruits that are a perfect color pallet. Yet our planet was not created to produce things that look exactly the same. Each of us is different. There is no identical plant or animal. Each snowflake has its very own intricate design. We love the uniqueness of our world yet cannot seem to accept it in food. Over 1 billion tons of food is estimated to be wasted every year worldwide (Ross, 2013). That number seams unreal especially when one in nine people around the ...

Franz Kafka focuses on how important it is for an artist to obtain public appeal and the levels that he is willing to go to acquire the attention. The hunger artist is a vivid representation of the troubled relationship that other artists have with a society that does not understand them well. In the end, the hunger artist separates himself from the entire world mirroring a separation between public will and the artistic ego. Only, an artist comprehends the essence of his accomplishments and ambitions. The public just comes in for the excitement or prospects of a good show. ...

Does the Theory of the Tripartite Soul Give Us Good Reason to be Just?

Introduction The well-known philosopher of Ancient Greece, Plato, presented the theory of the tripartite soul. However, the ideas, which consider the components of the soul to depend on the social system or have an impact on the human behavior, can as well belong to another genius of the same time, Socrates. Plato and Socrates, as two of the most prominent minds of the ancient times, questioned the features of the human personality under the terms of the natural instincts and the characteristics, which all people get with birth. In fact, all the thoughts of these two masters stand on ...

As it is known, survival in adverse conditions that threaten the life of a living being rarely depends on only the strength or intelligence of this creature. When it comes to survival, the ability to protect oneself from danger and adaptation to the conditions that are dangerous for the lives and well-being of an organism play a very important role. In The Origin of Species, Darwin said that in nature those individuals survive who “are best fitted for their places in nature” (Darwin, 1861, p. 93). So, the initial stage of natural selection is the development of some traits ...

Introduction

Organizations, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, need to plan strategically so as to fulfill their mandate, achieve their mission, and create public value.

YOURNAMEHERE

YOURSCHOOLHERE “How long can a human being survive without water?” That seems like a simple question. Packer (2002) points out that this seemingly simple question is not simple at all. Various factors mean that the answer can be anywhere from a few hours to several days. Regardless, though, one thing is clear. Water is necessary for life. The Earth (capital “E” for our home world) is unique in the solar system with its vast supply of liquid water (Blue Planet, n.d.). Since a human body is 60% water, this is obviously a substance of some importance (The Water In ...

Problem Statement

There are a number of reasons, defined by the ethical as well as the economic and the political scenes, for the non-diminishing interest in addressing the gap between the rich and the poor. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an aphorism, which outlines the major views on economic inequality and the criticism, seen in academic and business literature, towards the philosophy of free market and capitalism in general. One of the principal works, laying the foundation for the discussion, is the work by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014), who places the idea ...

A Closer Glimpse on the Key Terms

As previously observed, it is possible to draw parallels between the following essays and movies and play “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” by Paulo Freire and Dead Poets Society, “The Achievement of Desire” by Richard Rodriguez and Six Degrees of Separation, and “Ways of Seeing” by John Berger and The Matrix. All three works raise a number of important issues, manifestations of which may be found on the example of the characters of these films and plays. Thus, there are such key terms notions as critical thinking, education, class conflict, racial divide, and power of perspective, which can be ...

Surprise ending

A modest proposal is a widely read essay by Jonathan Swift that was written with an aim of providing the solution to the aggravating hunger problem in Ireland. From the beginning of the proposal, Swift adopts a satirical approach which ensures into a surprise ending. The ending comes as a surprise to me because, at the start of the essay, Swift takes the persona of a concerned economist proposing that to alleviate the poverty and overpopulation better in Ireland, the children of the poor should be sold as food to the wealthy. This, he argues, will significantly increase the ...

Part One

The Problem with McDonald’s Employee Budget The proposed minimum wage budget McDonalds put out is faced with a number of laughable budgetary estimates, some of which are based on wrongful assumptions. One of these assumptions that stands out from the onset is the inference by the drawer that every employee on minimum wage has a second job, an assumption which has proved to be wrong. For instance, in the scenario, MJ does not have a second job and lives on one pay slip. It is essential that in order the proposed budget to gain any endorsement of sorts ...

Today I will be presenting the similarities between the Lottery, by Shirley Jackson, and The Hunger Games, by Susanne Collins.

Slide 2: Both stories features a dystopian society routinely engaging in genocide This is dystopian in that everything appears to be in working order, or to be ok, with society at first but then a major problem is revealed in the form of the ceremonial killing of citizens. The Lottery never justifies the killing, but the Hunger games, the genocide occurs as a way for the Capital to maintain control over the districts.

Slide 3:

Both stories feature a lottery in which individuals are selected to die. Though the process is slightly different in these stories. The end result is the ...

As athletes, physicians, sports professionals, and the general public continue to search for the most effective diet for nutrition and physical development, high protein diets have emerged as a viable alternative for many people. However, there are disagreements about how to define a “high protein diet” (Tipton). Touted for many years, the Atkins Diet initially allows no calories from carbohydrates and moves into a maintenance regimen of only meat and vegetables (Westman, Phinney and Volek). The Paleo Diet has emerged as a similar recommendation of organ meats, fruits, vegetables, and nuts while excluding grains, sugar, dairy, and legumes (Tarantino, ...

In a society that believes in the adage, "sex sells", it is no wonder how food companies and advertisers are using sexualized images, particularly of women, to advertise their food and products. Society holds certain stereotypes of the ideal woman as skinny and often advertisers use this perception to advertise their products. Thus, an image advertising food or any other product that portrays a woman as anything but skinny and beautiful would be frowned upon and sales would not be favorable. There are instances when women are portrayed as voracious about food. However, these images and advertisements only use ...

People are so absorbed with the peculiarity of the unknown in that some people strive to become artists specializing in these trades just to become famous. Franz Kafka, in his short story, A Hunger Artist, successfully satirizes the cycle of people’s waning curiosity and interest in the mundane and the subsequent artists who do these things for fame. Kafka’s story shows a critical ridicule of this cycle in an act contradictory to the purpose of a way of living through the hunger artist and his act of fasting. The intention of distinguishing oneself from his peers has ...

Vital stakeholders in advocating & protection of children's rights

The current global society faces several challenges one of them being the increase in the number of orphaned and abandoned children. In war-affected regions such as the ongoing war in Syria, several children have been left to fend for themselves after the death of their parents/guardians. In other cases, early marriages have been the cause for the increase in the number of abandoned children. According to recent statistics from UNICEF, the number of orphaned children in 2016 is 132 million (Grovogui, 2016). The same organization reports that there are over 30 million children forced to live away from their ...

Sharon Olds is an American poet whose literary works were noted for their “powerful, often erotic, imagery of the body”. Olds was born in San Francisco, California in 1942 and grew up in an abusive family, which, most likely, inspired her writing style. Among her notable works that appealed to many audiences were ‘Satan Says’ where Olds described her sexuality in a daring manner and ‘The Dead and the Living’ wherein she examined the life and death under the context of domesticity. The ‘Photograph of a Girl,’ is one of Old’s poems that describe the conflict ...

Hunger Games are the modern day phenomenon. The books have become bestsellers, and the films gathered millions of viewers. But behind the action scenes and fights were explored different moral and ethical issues. The most obvious questions uncovered were the change of personality, struggle against the system and the struggle for freedom. As the plot unfolds, we can see how Katniss's personality changes from an ordinary girl who loves nature and wants the best for her family into the active fighter for freedom, ready to spill the blood of the oppressors. The oppressive government of Panem turns our attention ...

As notions of “self-care,” (that is, of prioritizing one’s personal health) become increasingly common, the challenge of mental illness remains stigmatized if not least because it is generally invisible. Both in life and in literature, we can often glean understanding not only from what can be observed in narrative, but also through its gaps and disjunctions. In the case of Kafka’s “A Hunger Artist,” the protagonist’s extended fasting is not a direct concern of mental illness, but one of spectacle with his audience “marveling at him as he sat there pallid in black tights, with his ...

Every person is obliged to the right to eat for a healthy living.

What Is Food Security?

Various organizations define food insecurity differently while explaining the same phenomenon. According to The World Food Summit held in October 1996, “Food security exist when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy lifestyle” (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2001, p. 4). It is important to note that the foregoing definition of food security focuses on the availability of food for everyone.

Such already explains how the concept of globalization has facilitated the relocation of goods from their original center of production to other markets. Additionally, the production of fast foods as well as other food items relates to globalization in the form of migration of human labor, displacement of individuals from their original land of residence, and the concept of global circulation of the workforce. Such shifts resulting from the dynamics associated with production have to do with the nature in which large organizations and brands such as The Yum Brands can control the global markets of their agribusiness products. ...

There is a growing awareness among clinicians and researchers alike (despite a paucity of solid, supporting epidemiological data) that the eating disorders, anorexia nervosa and bulimia, are appearing in certain segments of the population at an increasingly alarming rate Lucas, Beard, Kranz, & Kuriand, 1983). These are eating disorders that can have quite similar manifestations and different origins (sometimes they are endocrinological, while sometimes they can be therapeutic or even psychological-psychiatric). However, the main cause of these diseases is a distorted view of own body and an altered attitude to the process of nutrition. The term anorexia nervosa means nervous ...

Homeschooling is an effective way of educating the child because it creates the favourable atmosphere needed for the growth of curiosity, an essential factor for further exploration. Children who receive their education at home enjoy more freedom to experiment, evaluate and conclude the facts in a manner better than the children educated in schools. As per Gina Riley, one of the most impressive strengths of home education lies in the fact that the entire process revolves around the child’s intrinsic motivation to learn (3). It is this intrinsic motivation that prompts the child to look for more knowledge ...

At least 9 million people die because of hunger and malnutrition, sadly 5 million are children. In a world of plenty, a huge number go hungry.

It’s time to get up; it’s time to have breakfast; it’s time to go to school; it’s time to complete the home work; it’s time to go to sleep. These were the nagging reminders I kept listening, at home, thorough out my life as a school student. It appeared that without being reminded, I would not do anything essential. I don’t blame this to anyone but me because I did get the opportunity to prove my time management skill but the result was so disastrous that my parents never thought of leaving anything ...

When the factors of money and lack of resources are combined together, ...
