The field of health care is an extremely sensitive and critical field. Given the fact the practitioners of this field deal with the lives of people, it is of utmost importance to critically evaluate every decision and action made towards a certain case. This is because a single, small action can either make or break the condition of the patient. Which is why, I believe that the interviewee’s view that marketing food and healthcare products is the same, is actually very naïve. Health care marketing can be similar to marketing other products and services, in the sense ...

Introduction

The nature of "The Cherry Orchard", in terms of the genre has always been controversial. Often the play is defined as a "tragicomedy", or an "an ironic tragicomedy." However, it is vital to understand what genre the play is as it defines the code of reading the play and the characters. What does it mean to see elements of tragedy in the play? This would mean to a certain extent agree with the characters’ originality, their sincere and true suffering. However, it is impossible to see any strong trait in characters that are "weak-willed", "aching", "whining", and have "lost ...

Abstract

The relations between next-door neighbors Japan and China go back past several millennia. Their cultures are similar, but certain events in history have marred these relationships. One contributing issue to the tensions between these two countries is the Nanking Massacre, which occurred in 1937 at the time when Japan was an emerging military power. It sought to increase its own sphere of influence while occupying territories. It also sought to have access to the rich natural resources of the northeastern section of China and even of the whole of China. The atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers during the Nanking ...

Introduction

The topic of moral paralysis is the central issue in the entire anthology written by James Joyce. The author created his works during the time of economic stagnation of Ireland, which affected his oeuvre. This period of paralysis of the Irish society stemmed from the nationalist movement that promoted independence from Britain in terms of economic, political, and cultural development. During those days it was considered that England was responsible for the stagnation of Ireland by limiting its national identity and the ability to evolve. Therefore, Britain managed to paralyze its citizens, politics, economy, as well as culture by ...

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, took on themes of Hollywood and the film industry, pointing out its glitz, glamour and tragedy in equal measure. In the 1930s, the film industry began a transition from the artistic experimentation of its early days to the greater commercialism of Hollywood; Fitzgerald’s novel explores this transition in very intriguing ways. Telling the story of Monroe Stahr, a character loosely based on MGM’s golden boy Irving Thalberg, Fitzgerald paints Hollywood and the film business as an incredibly complex and inscrutable place, with its own politics ...

Controversies come up every day over evidence interpretation and this then makes the issue either explicitly or implicitly related to causality. These controversial issues are usually brought about by disagreements on opinions and points of view.

They can also be caused by wrong facts being sold as truth or doctored information. One such incidence happened when Billionaire business tycoon turned republican presidential candidate Donald trump in one of his campaigns made a remark to ...

Introduction and Thesis

First published in 1922, Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room was her first novel to use modernist and impressionistic techniques. This paper will show that Woolf’s methodology (the way she wrote the novel) is intimately connected with the thematic preoccupations of the author: the method mirrors the message. Jacob’s Room is commonly seen as an indictment of the sterility and emptiness of modern civilization at the start of the twentieth century and it is true that at its heart is an existential angst that is presented vividly by Woolf. However, this paper will argue that Woolf uses ...

PART 1

In my own words, I explain sociocultural theory as the theory that the things around individuals (notably social factors) influence their cognition. Lev Vygotsky, the proponent of sociocultural theory, stated that development in every individual’s culture occur in two levels: on the social and the individual level (1978). Individuals (especially children, in consonance to Vygotsky’s emphasis) such as parents, mentors, peers and the like can affect people’s cognition (Vygotsky, 1978). In highlighting the influence of society to individual development, James Lantolf reiterated Vygotsky’s “zone of proximal development”, which is the variance of an individual’ ...

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait. As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, who is struggling ...

Introduction

It is only normal to receive a compliment whenever there is really something that an individual can be complimented about . Often, the reason why people compliment other people is because they admire a part of that person. A man may, for example, be often seen complimenting a woman because of her looks, her body, her class, or her personality. A woman, on the other hand, may often be seen complimenting a man because of his personality, being a gentleman, looks, class, and body. Although there may be trends that can help people and psychologists determine how and what aspects of a person a man or a ...

Abstract

Marketing and advertising are two important aspects of managing a business, or to be more specific, of leading a business towards success. A product or a service offering may be good or even of the highest quality when compared to those that the competitions in the industry offer but if the marketing and advertising strategies used are not effective or not suitable to the target market, or in some cases, simply do not work the way how they are supposed to, then the actual sales and profitability or the company’s product or service may not reach the expectations .

The Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” is a presentation of a moral conflict between evil and good. The beginning of the story sets the environment of conflicting moral will. Goodman bade farewell to his lovely wife Faith, even though she spent a considerable time persuading him to sleep in his bed that night. ‘"Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when her lips were close to his ear, "prithee put off your journey until sunrise and sleep in your own bed to-night’ (Hawthorn 81). Goodman’s journey into the woods marked the genesis of his quest for trust in God or ...

INTRODUCTION “He [that is, Antonio] hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million—laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies—what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?” (Merchant of Venice, 3.1.42-46) The above lines were borrowed from the famous speech made by Shylock in William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. This speech by Shylock was his attempt at demonstrating his humanity and to encourage the audience to sympathize with his condition as a person ...

Religion, or belief in a god or multiple gods as well as belief-related activities, such as praying or worshipping, has various and history-motivated established manifestations in different countries. Religion has existed for centuries, starting with the holy antiquity, and reversed its direction due to a number of reasons ever since then. Religion in Europe changed its course from being politics-oriented to being apolitical, maintaining neutrality, granting political power its much needed laicized status after centuries of the Holy Inquisition and de facto governance of secular affairs. The USA, the country founded by puritan pilgrims seeking opportunities to freely exercise their religious ...

[Writer’s Name]

Ginzburg's book is a prime example of a micro-history that deals with the life of a seemingly unknown, and mostly, forgotten individual in 16th Century Italy. In the book, Ginzburg talks about a character named Menocchio; a peasant with a life of obscurity, but one that was filled with quite amazing and capable ideas. Menocchio was a sort of a deviant, and he had little respect for the norms established by the Church. Of course, Menochhio's behavior had him get noticed by the Church, and the book discusses the events that unfolded then in detail, including his questioning by the Inquisition, and the his ...

The Masonic society has grown to greater levels in the contemporary world such that it has attracted the attention of many researchers. Initially, it was a group of brothers, who eluded from the royal society, who had a deep and abiding desire to seek knowledge, debate philosophies, explore history and discover symbolism. It paved way for the development of what is commonly known as freemasonry in the contemporary society. Some books define it as a peculiar system of morality oblique in fable and exemplified by symbols (Jeffers, 98). It evolved from the discussion of ethics and morality that brought disagreement in the ...

Book VII - On Shadows and Realities in Education

SOCRATES - GLAUCON AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

Revelation is a term of multiple interpretations according to the context within which it is used. As far as literary readings are concerned, revelation is a situation drawing readers’ attention and appealing greatly to them, since it is this moment of a story’s plot when tension reaches its peak. It is the moment when the readers witness a truth that had been underlying the lines up to then, having only prepared them for an ‘apocalypses’ through indirect hints, thus leading them to experience in a way the feeling of sharing the hero’s ‘catharsis’. Following Marcus Tullio Cicero’s words that books are ...

Introduction

“That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.” - Christopher Hitchens Such brazen remark would seem highly provocative at first instance, as it tackles a particularly sensitive component of epistemology – evidence. There are numerous debates surrounding the study of evidence, being undoubtedly controversial due to the contentious definition of knowledge. Nevertheless, it does not mean to say that the subject matter does not render any possible resolutions, albeit the debate will carry on as various schools of thought hold different stands on knowledge. This study will ...

Philip Roth's 2000 novel The Human Stain deals with many controversial and heated topics, such as racism, divorce, political controversy and sensationalism. The way in which the book's central character, Coleman Silk, is destroyed through seemingly harmless acts is a powerful statement on the nature of racial politics. This is made even more complex by the eventual reveal of Silk's true secret, placing his predicament in a wholly new light. The effects of these events affect both Silk and many other characters in the novel in dramatic ways. In this essay, the characters of Silk, narrator Nathan Zuckerman and Silk's secret ...

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was an Algerian-born writer, playwright, political essayist, activist, and absurdist philosopher, who in 1957 was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. This essay focuses on his absurdist philosophy and in particular as exemplified in his work L’Étranger (The Stranger), written in 1942. In a comprehensive feature (Simpson, 2005) about Albert Camus, published on the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP), the author suggests that Camus’ concept of the absurd “does not simply refer to some vague perception that modern life is fraught with paradoxes, incongruities, and intellectual confusion”. Simpson goes on to explain that he believes that ...

Hawthorne’s presentation of the wilderness in The Scarlet Letter is both literal – the unexplored and untamed wildness of forest beyond the town – and also metaphorical – he describes Hester’s as being cast into a “moral wilderness” because of her punishment at the hands of the Puritan community of New England. At the same time, Hester’s life in the “moral wilderness” and the forest itself are always juxtaposed with civilization – or the Puritan civilization of 17th century New England. Hawthorne was descended from New England Puritans, but as a Transcendentalist he has a rather different attitude to the wilderness and nature. ...
