The main purpose of any tragedy, as it is claimed by Aristotle, is based on the notion "catharsis" (Milch), which is a fundamental element in the drama. Catharsis, consequently, as described by Cambridge Dictionary, is considered “the process of releasing strong emotions through a particular activity or experience in a way that helps to understand those emotions”. Thus it was expected from the Aristotelian audience to be feeling a great level of emotional connection towards the actors, greatly empathizing with them – it concerned mainly such feelings as fear and pity. The ultimate aim of this approach was for the ...

Nonetheless, the series of events where people of the black community have repeatedly come to be on the receiving end of undue violence ...

Cross-cultural Communication In the book's Preface, Tannen states: "all communication is more or less cross-cultural." (Tannen) What does she mean by this statement? This point has to be made because challenges arise in communication when there is more than one culture involved. In the communication process, culture differences are an issue during encoding and decoding. The challenge for the sender is to develop a message in forms that can be decoded successfully by the receiver without losing or misunderstanding the content and meaning of the message. The forms of communication like language and non-verbal communication are ...

In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

When life gets tough, find that special happy place where you can relieve the stress and depressing feelings. Zadie Smith calls it “Find your Beach.” The beach does not necessarily have to be real.

Introduction

One of the most widely-appreciated and distinct films of last year, 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, demonstrates many attributes of genderlect theory and its principles in its communication between its male and female characters.

The process of motivation is complex and ambiguous. There are various approaches to the description of the emergence and implementation of the needs of employees. These approaches are reflected in the various theories of motivation. Each of these methods may have something to offer managers and their various elements in many complementary ways. Conventionally, all theories of motivation can be divided into substantive and procedural. Substantial theories focus on domestic human needs, which give impulse, support and stop this behavior. Procedural theory gives a description and analysis of how behavior is gaining momentum, is directed, supported and stopped.

The function of golli-MBP is less understood than that of the classic MBP. However, golli-MBP is believed to play an important role in various physiological activities such as the regulation of calcium (Ca) homeostasis especially in oligodendrocytes (OLs) and in T-cells ( Paez et al., 2007). The latter authors investigated this particular property of golli-MBP using fluorescent protein clones, cell lines and imaging techniques. It was revealed that when overexpressed in OL cell lines (N19), the golli proteins activate the elaboration of processes and sheets which retract rapidly following a depolarization with high potassium ions (K+).

There are three technologies of editing in the cinema. In the given paper, each of them will be discussed in more detail.

So, I would like to start by saying that in the cinematography there are three main areas or schools of editing. The first of these is the French school of editing that most ...

Metamorphosis in Poetry and Speeches is a demonstration of how they evolve from one time to another. This paper will outline the same by using the works of three of the most inspirational African Americans. They include Douglas Fredrick’s 1852 speech, The Meaning of the Fourth of July; Malcolm X’s WeDidn’t Land on Plymouth Rock; and Tupac’s song (poem) “Keep Ya Head Up.” Since they occurred in different years, they help the development of this article in demonstrating the evolution of the metamorphosis in poetry and speech.

It would be difficult for one to survive in a complete isolation from other people and therefore, it is a well-known fact, that people tend to socialize, interchange their experience and knowledge, cooperate and communicate in different spheres of their life. Territory, language, culture and certain traditions let people organize and unite into the groups, which are often defined as communities. Once a person identifies him- or herself with a community, accepts the existing norms and prescriptions in this group, he or she becomes a member of it. Fashion is a particular phenomenon, which is directly connected and dependent ...

1. Signed in 1783, the Treaty of Paris was a peace deal between the United States of America and The Great Britain.

Although the French assumed that the Americans would honor the territorial rights of the Indian nations, they were apparently unaware of the settlements which extend well into Indian lands.

The Fair Sentencing Act

On August 3, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, for the first time in the History of the U.S (Grindle, 2010).

Abstract

The 2003 Iraq War received a wide variety of different opinions throughout the international media. While American networks and press organizations entitled the conflict as Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Canadian media and the channels in some Arab nations referred to the conflict as "attack and occupation."

He wrote a book by the same name that teems with his utter disdain for the Iraqi fighters as well as with his excitement at the chance ...

Entry 1:

In Esther Duflo’s TED talk on social experiments to fight poverty, she discusses the very important idea that poverty may not be solved by simply throwing money at the problem. Her overall point is that charity drives, while well-meaning, can be temporary Band-Aids that do not address the systemic problems that many in the developing world have to deal with. Rather than helping starving people in Africa build up the infrastructure they need to be self-sustaining, or giving vaccinations, charity work simply assuages our own sense of guilt over our own privilege in the developed world. I found ...

If one tries to figure out the first illustrations on the planet, they will be taken back all the way to the cave paintings by ancient men. Illustrations in books surfaced only after the invention of the printing press. Traditionally speaking, illustrations have always been part of books.

In the past centuries, examples of illustrations have included books illustrated by copper engraving, woodcuts and wood engraving (Eshragh 9).Diagrams were essential in a mathematical ...

South Pacific, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical adaptation of Michener’s book Tales of the South Pacific, takes fascinating departures from the source material while also maintaining a deep sense of connection to Michener’s dedication to addressing racism and the ways it complicates relationships. Michener’s storytelling is, by its nature, far more realistic and detailed in its artifice than the broad, big emotions of a large-scale musical like Rodgers and Hammerstein provide. The musical deals in huge, passionately-drawn emotion, while Michener’s short stories delve into the intricacies and little details of these characters and their complicated ...

The Cultural context in a movie, play or reading materials can be analyzed in terms of time at which the people lived; the place; setting; environment; social organization; social divide; family culture; gender roles; economic, religious and political status (Mcdonough 2005).

The apparent claims of alcohol intake being beneficial to some people and groups are evident in Peter DeLottinville’s 1981/82 writing of Joe Beef of Montreal and the 2006 publication of John A. Macdonald and the Bottle by Ged Martin. Based on the Canadian societies of the mid-nineteenth century, the ideologies of both writings seem to point out a single factor: alcohol can sometimes benefit a person and in others, promote a group. By extension, after reading both texts, rather than encounter the expected demerits of “the bottle” in a politician’s life, or the social evils of taverns, ...

There is a long-standing debate on whether student-athletes should be paid for services rendered to their respective colleges or universities. On one end, it is true that the very spirit of amateurism dictates that such benefits should only come in the form of school stipends, perhaps as an added benefit to scholarship grants. On the other hand, it is also true that the magnitude of revenues garnered by universities, amounting to hundreds of millions and in some cases even billions of dollars, would imply that it is only fair for students to have at least a minimal amount of ...
