Given the background of the story “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, one can easily tell that the princess-barbarian is in quite an ethical dilemma. If she points to the right door – where a lady waits to be married to her lover – she loses. Of course, if she points to the wrong one – where a ferocious tiger awaits the unsuspecting youth – she still loses. If you put yourself in her position, it would be truly difficult to choose her barbaric nature over love and that the author points out. Still, if the young man she loves marries ...

The paper provides reading response of two studies entitled as “Taming the Jungle, Saving the Maya Forest: Sedimented Counterinsurgency Practices in Contemporary Guatemalan” written by Megan Yabrra and “Bio-ironies of the Fractured Forest: India's Tiger Reserves” by Paul Greenough. Megan Yabrra conducted a study to identify the importance of historically sedimented military practice for protection in the contemporary Guatemala. The author argues that the military has tamped dangerous jungles for managing its counterinsurgency campaigns. The military has used forest and jungle discourses for achieving success in their territorial projects. The author argues that the use of jungle has violated ...

The issue of conservation has been dominating the agenda of environmentalists in the recent decades, and the two articles under consideration provide insights into adverse and side effects of forest conservation and establishment of biosphere reserves. Generally, Paul Greenough discusses advantages and flaws of biosphere reserves and protected area networks that have been a crucial purpose of conservationists. The author argues that enclosing new territories of forests into protected areas and reserves allows not only for survival of animal and plant species but also for blossoming criminal activity. Providing examples of Mexican biosphere reserves and India’s Project Tiger ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

William Blake is a great poet from England who was born November 28, 1757, and died August 12, 1927 (Bentley, 2016). He wrote Songs of Innocence and Songs from Experience (Poetry Foundation, 2016). In this work, William Blake speaks of two animals in opposite ways. The purpose of this paper is to write of the meaning of the two poems and compare each of the poems. The question: What are the likenesses and differences in the poems “The Lamb”, and “The Tyger” that make one poem a poem of innocence and the other poem a poem of experience? Will ...

Evidence from the past weeks shows that health information systems have the ability to improve patient outcomes in terms of efficiency, access, quality, and safety.

TIGER looks into advancing the involvement of information systems in practice, patient engagement, and education. Ideally, the initiative encourages nurse educators to involve their student nurses in learning the importance of ...

The most beautiful and fascinating artistic aspect of the Chinese ritual objects was the use of bronze. In ancient times, vessels were made to be used for drinks and foods and came in different forms. Some of the containers had accents of rounded and molded handles which rest on well-created bases. Bronze vessels have a well-designed covering which depicts mythical images of mostly animals (Chang, p. 529). Since the beginning of the millennia, they left these vessels with shades of green. There was an addition of hues that helped in bringing a visual display of the art. In the ...

Gross domestic product (GDP) and Gross National Product (GNP) is the indicators of the general economic condition of a country.

The indicator of GDP and GNP are very important for the economy as a whole. They are used to describe ...

The political arena in Indonesia has its specifics. While Danone mostly operates in the countries with stable political and legal systems, a constitutional democracy such as Indonesia is a politically attractive developing market. After being subject to dictatorship until 1998, Indonesia became a democratic state with the New Order Regime.

For the analysis I have chosen a song performed by the British rock band Queen. It was written in 1978 by the band’s lead singer Freddie Mercury. From the first tune the song attracts the listener with its energetic melody and lyrics. Also I like this song for its ability to cheer me up and fill with energy in any gloomy day. “Don’t Stop Me Now” has no hidden messages and meanings, everything is in its title. The speaker of the song is a man, who is in a cheerful mood, enjoys himself, has a great time ...

Business Impact of Crisis Management in Sports Industry

Business Impact of Crisis Management in Sports Industry Many organizations are not crisis ready. Even though crisis management planning has been around for over 20 years and despite alarming increases in the crisis occurrence rate, half of all Fortune 500 companies do not have a crisis management plan (Aboudzadeh, Hajipoor & Hashemnia, 2014). For example, the potential effects of an organization’s crisis are lack of social responsibility, loss of profits and market share, tarnish of brand image, and increased regulatory scrutiny and control, stockholder discontent, decreased employee morale, and bankruptcy. A report in sports magazine predicts that global sports ...

The area on the difference between animal and human bodies has been inadequately researched. A chronic problem in the field of body studies relates to the manner in which the nature-culture is adopted in the social parlance, even in the work that tries to sidestep this conceptual determinism. The correlation between nature and culture is closely entwined as they mutually play a significant mandate in outlining the historical and cultural embeddedness of this incomparable way of thinking in the philosophical scientific knowledge of the west. Philosophers and anthropologists have given examples of indigenous uncountable philosophies that contrast the overwhelming ...

Introduction

Leadership today is viewed as a social process wherein leaders and followers interact effectively and participate actively in the leadership actuations (Goertzen, 2013). With the growing proliferation of leadership and leadership development theories, which focused on the educational, experiential, and cultural factors involved in effective leadership, the conceptual environment of leadership is naturally set at showing off the self-made nature of leadership today. However, close observation on the natural behaviors of children will inspire questions on the validity of the claim that leaders are made, not born. A child in the play, for instance, who takes initiative in organizing ...

What is the difference between demand “Wallahs” and supply “Wallahs”? “Supply wallahs” focus on the idea in which the policy makers of the educational systems emphasize on the strategies to incorporate education in the society by means of providing students with the educational opportunities and ensuring the availability of the skilled educators in the educational institutions. However, “demand wallahs” are focued on the idea of limiting the availability of the educational opportunities when they are not required in the society and hence, the lack of parents’ interest in availability of the educational opportunities is considered as ...

Abstract Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...

A Presentation

My presentation today is about two well-known Australian poems which are both broadly anti-war in their overall message, but were written in different periods and use different poetic techniques to convey the poet’s emotions and thoughts. ‘The Trains’ by Judith Wright was written during the Second World War when the threat of a Japanese invasion of the north of Australia was seen as a real possibility. ‘Homecoming’ by Bruce Dawe was written in response to Australian involvement in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Each poem’s title gives no hint of its actual subject ...

The movie I chose to analyze is Save The Tiger. The movie revolves around Harry Stoner (Jack Lemmon) and his life as his company nears ruin. The biggest issue facing Stoner is what he will do to keep himself afloat as his company begins to fall apart. It is a strange position to be in as it is at this point, when money and coldly logical decisions need to be made, when ethics matter the most. It is easy for a person to be ‘good’ and attempt to become a better person when everything is going their way but when trouble comes ...

1. What are Pi’s views on “reason”? Why does he think that his fantasy account filled with animals and other strange things do not contradict reason and logic?

But, he contends that reason and logic do not always describe reality, and there are many things that are beyond the grasp of logic such as love. He believes that “reason” is a great tool, but to dismiss things on the account that they do not have a rational ...

When it comes to this modern world, no one can deny the fact that there are load so of brands competing with each other neck to neck to get the consumer. And one of such top brand is NIKE.

However it will not be wrong to say that the brand has created a kind of social stratification where individuals think they are better than others if they wear such brands. Certain people think that they are superior because they ...

Feminism is a complex concept that is not easy to define. It is an ideology that brings together several different subcategories that uniquely differ from one another. The stylish and radical author of the twentieth century, Angela Carter, exposes her feminist view through her various writings including Fairy Tales, The Sadeian Woman and The Bloody Chamber. As observed by Anna Katsavos in her interview, Carter believes that the view of the female gender is negative with their role being less than ideal to an extent that does not please nor give them glory (Carter and Katsavos 12). In her earliest ...

Reading Lily Xiao-hong Lee’s commentary on Ban Zhao’s life and text was interesting. The point brought up in her paper on Nancy Lee Swann’s studies on Ban Zhao states how Ban Zhao advocated that “man is superior to woman and obedience should be the guiding principle of a woman's behaviour throughout her life (Lee, 11)” would be seen as something negative in today’s society. Women are fighting to be given equality in every aspect of their lives, from equality at work to equality on being able to make decisions in regard to their ...

Part I:

I believe that, despite the seemingly mercurial and boundary-less morality of Peter Pan, there are instances in which he shows himself to have a moral code. Even though he seems less restricted than many, and he is seen by Wendy and the others to be the stereotypical naughty boy, who never wants to grow up and always gets in trouble, he acts according to a code of ethics. He is dedicated to the protection of Wendy and the Lost Boys, and seems to be very kind to those for whom he feels responsible. He saves Tiger Lily from Captain Hook at ...

Abstract

Culture in the United States is a product of three separate factors which are socio-economic status, family dynamics, and level of education. Socioeconomic status is the position of an individual’s economic and social position in relation to others, on a hierarchal scale that is determined by measurements of such factors as educational level, income, occupation, place of residence, or a composite of these dimensions. Socio- economic status is often used a predictor and indicator for a variety of positive and negative health and social outcomes, and is often used as a benchmark for investigating social or health inequalities.

Given the increasing globalization of the film industry, Hollywood directors have begun to pull increasingly from international sources for their creative output. Looking into the small-but-potent international film markets, often directors from other countries are given the opportunity to cross-over into Hollywood. This is certainly the case with Asian cinema; many Asian film directors who have achieved success in Japan and Hong Kong have been given the chance to make films in America in order to provide a rapidly-consuming film market with the variety and quality it desires. In the 1980s and 1990s, two Asian directors in particular crossed over ...

The eland and the stuffed goose are both preyed animals that will serve as a meal. The first emphasizes the aspect of victim, with the tiger biting down on the heavy animal, satisfying its hunger. Meanwhile, the duck is forcefully fed until it is about to burst, like humans that cannot help being naturally sexual. The instinctual side of man is on display with both of these images, and so is a display of power and aggressiveness. Female sexuality is described as being repressed, yet waiting to burst intensely. The main image relating to sexuality in the poem is that ...

Since the day when Hollywood became the centre of American film industry, a system that introduces us to the studio system had to be introduced.
