Theater is thought to have started in the 6th century BC in Athens, as a form of classical entertainment (Goldhill 54). At this time, it was predominantly for entertainment, and also to create a catalogue of historical events, or depiction of mythology. This evolved into plays that were categorized as tragedy, comedy and drama, each in forms that we would readily recognize today, were all born out of that early tradition. However, over time, different countries adapted the western art form, to create formulas that more directly address their social concerns, or meet the social need for expression. In ...

“Words/Meanings” from the Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer:

Foer’s article raised many interesting points. It is laid out rather like a dictionary, with a list of words followed by the author’s definitions and feelings around them. Some words were closely related to the topic of eating animals, for example, “Broiler Chickens,” and some more ambiguous, for example, “Desperation.” One of the most interesting words and meanings for me was “Suffering.” Foer discusses possible meanings behind this word and whether it is possible for someone to argue that animals don’t suffer. Suffering is a difficult term to define and to measure. The question becomes even ...

Patterns of Inheritance

A homozygous brown mink was crossed with a silverblue mink. Brown (B) is dominant to silverblue. There were 9 offspring. What color were they? (B) Two of the offspring were mated. What would the ratio of brown to silverblue offspring be? What fraction of the offspring will be homozygous brown? Heterozygous? Homozygous recessive?

Let B represent the allele for brown color and b represent the allele for silver blue

Punnet square between homozygous brown mink and silver mink homozygous brown mink X Silver mink bb X BB

All the 9 offspring were brown

Mating two of the offspring Punnet square showing f1 generation will be as follows Bb X Bb Ratio of brown to silverblue is 3: 1 Fraction of homozygous ...

1. When Kyle is mad, he spits at other students in the class. This sentence is an explanatory fiction because the first clause “Kyle is mad,” does not show causality with respect to spitting at other students. The statement is fictional because spitting is a type of anger. Thus, the statement re-states “effect” as “cause”. Moreover, the statement does not specify what makes Kyle mad in the first place. 2. Brad gets anxious in class because he has OCD. This sentence is an explanatory fiction because it simply states a symptom of OCD, anxiety. Such a statement is causal, ...

Question 1

Scope of Change The aspects related to the work done are dealt by the scope of the change. It involves the individual doing the work and the method of performing that work. The aspects of decision making regarding the project operations also fall under the scope of the project. The scope of the project involves either radical changes or the incremental. The radical changes are fundamental whereas the incremental are local to the scenario.

“Early in the 21st Century, robots known as Replicants, were created as off-world slave labor. Identical to humans, Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and, at least, equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them” (Blade Runner). Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, exhibited in 1982, portrays an idea about the truth of human nature. What is to be a human? How do we differ from a machine, and, after all, what makes us human? Before the love scene, which we are going to analyze, the blade runner Deckard has been attacked by Leon (one of the replicants) ...

Standards-Based Approach

I was assigned to offer nursing care to a patient with intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) that needed a detailed cared. The name of the patient was Jassim, aged 63 years old; diagnosed with post-operative myocardial infarction.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock Stars: James Stewart, Kim Novak Objective Analysis: (give a few examples and provide text to support your examples) Visual component (such as the art direction, camera angles and movement, cinematography, lighting, visual style, etc.): Hitchcock’s visual style is tense and scary, with great use of focus and top-down shots to get the feeling of Jimmy Stewart’s “vertigo.” The visual style of the opening sequence is dreamlike and unsettling, as is the dream sequence he has halfway through the movie. It really gives the feeling of losing your grip on reality. ...

Most of the people go the cinema really often. They drive theirs cars to the desired movie theatres, maybe stand in the line to get tickets, head to the bar, and then finally find themselves in comfortable seats, waiting to be immersed by another story. Yet, I bet few of them know of numerous detailed and complex patterns which lie behind that immersion – and who exactly executes them. Essentially, these patterns sprout from the director’s vision of the film, production designer’s creative contribution to it, and are supported by the work of the art director. These elements ...
