Essays on Stone

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem “Ozymandias” focuses on the trend toward decline that always takes hold of the leaders of empires, particularly when they turn their attention away from fostering the growth of their people and toward perpetuating their own memories. Their pride shows forth in the erection of giant statues of themselves, on which they have artisans engrave all sorts of grandiose quotations about the unlimited power of their rule. They forget, of course, that all of us – not just individuals, but societies and countries – will come to an end at some point. This pride that makes people ...

I think discarding something as uninteresting or not useful means hindering yourself in terms of learning new things; I have my reservations about documentaries that try to engage the viewer by playing cards like human vanity and ego, disasters and grand statements, such as ‘the most impenetrable fortress’; but I still think that everywhere we look we can find useful knowledge. As the name suggests, the documentary is about the civilization of ancient Egypt and their engineering accomplishments that became landmarks in ancient architecture and significantly contributed to ancient Egypt’s grandeur image as an empire.

Being the most widespread type of stanza, it underlines the traditional side of the theme discussed. The enclosed rhyme wraps the middle two lines between the first and the last, and rhyming them by pairs. This makes the reading not as fluent as if it ...

At one point during the life of a small business, the owners find themselves with the decision of whether or not to change from a manual system to a computerized system.

For instance, the generation of reports by an accountant can be laborious when done manually. However, a computerized system will allow the accountant to generate reports quickly and allow more time for other tasks. Additionally, automation ...

I think that most of Emily Dickinson’s poems reflected an aspect of her personality or beliefs. However, I think that one that was probably most representative of who she was, was “The Soul Selects her own Society”. In the poem she says “The Soul selects her own Society /Then — shuts the Door —/To her divine Majority —/Present no more-” (Dickinson). The poem speaks of a person who has separated themselves from society. However, they do not cut themselves of fully whether they become extremely selective in who they will allow into their personal bubble. They subconsciously choose who ...

This paper will show the different views of society upon the introduction of the Realist movement in the ...

Artefacts have been suggested as the primary points of insights into the culture and customs of a civilization and the way they interact with the world around them. Whilst many of the objects in question convey spiritual messages in terms of idols and iconography, it is important to consider the ways in which the objects communicate on an implied level also; for example, jade stone is one particular inclusion within many Eastern Asian ceremonies and ceremonial pieces and had been considered within these cultures’ as a precious stone, but also, for its ability to preserve an individuals spirit.

Provide examples to support my explanation of the concept of privilege relative to nationality, gender, ability, social class and race.

Privilege as a concept is not only inclined on race and gender but rather on almost all facets of social life that deal with different power dynamics. It is worth appreciating that privilege operates in a distinct manner but is often associated with discrimination in a given society where it is experienced. Therefore, in the explanation on an individual's participation in either privilege or discrimination, it is worth understanding the different groups that one belongs to. Different kinds of privilege exist in every society and regardless of their nature, it worth acknowledging that the privileged group is always the ...

In examining the criminal liability of the four persons about the death of Betty, several issues should be focused on approval or disapproval of any liability.

Also, there is a need to prove whether there was any state of mind with criminal liability and intent to cause ...

Abstract

Jade has been an important part of Chinese culture since Ancient times, when it was used to make various weapons and tools. The reason for this is because it is believed to have positive powers. Some of the attributes attributed to jade are purity, gentlemanliness, the ability to send one’s soul on a positive journey and to prevent misfortune from befalling a person. This is why jade was used in burial rituals, sacrifices and other religious ceremonies. Nevertheless, despite the importance of jade to the Chinese culture for many centuries only the very wealthy were permitted to own ...

This discussion focuses on a difficult area of contract law: verbal contracts and agreements. Verbal contracts and agreements are notoriously difficult because they do not rely on anything written: they are entirely the product of spoken interactions, and thus, they are subject to the memory of the individual parties (Beale et al. 2010). In this hypothetical, Simon offers to pay each band member £250,000; ostensibly, this payment is not the issue that is contentious, as each band member did indeed receive this money after completing the concert. Although the case study is not clear, it seems that this ...
