Williams (2004) claims that almost all of us genuinely believe we are good listeners, and therefore have no need to actively develop skills in listening. I must confess that I included myself in that majority. However, I became conscious that my intensity of listening slipped from time to time. Examples: someone tells me a story I have heard before; in a meeting my thoughts unintentionally wander to dwell on some pressing personal issue of current concern. A listening issue that I personally find irritating in others is when I can see that they are not really listening to me; when ...

Considering the effects of cover crop and intercropping on garden settings

1. Introduction 1.1 Background Sustainable agricultural production systems, otherwise known as agroecosystems, employ a variety of techniques to maintain environmental quality. Cover crops are one strategy used by growers to preserve and enhance soil resources because of their impacts on soil-nutrient dynamics (such as nitrogen and carbon fixation)and microbiological functions (Steenworth and Belina, 2008). Cover crops such as cereal grass, hairy vetch, and oilseed radish, manage problems in an agroecosystem such as soil quality, erosion and fertility, water quality, pests and weeds because they tend to be less resource intensive than other crops and instead contribute to ...

Abstract

For the purpose of this paper, I will be discussing the East Pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, as well as a terracotta bell-krater attributed to the Methyse Painter, and comparing both works in terms of their composition, formal elements, and cultural context. The selection of these works allows for two central activities of the Greeks to be compared, especially ones represented by their own divine figures. The east pediment and the Dionysian vase feature two distinct sides of Greek culture – the former showcasing Greek’s love of justice, and the latter the Greek’s love of wine ...

Simply put, sociological imagination refers to the unique insight that is often given by the sociological discipline. The sociological imagination dictates that in the process of making decisions, the thinking process should be done in a manner that does not reflect the familiar routines of the day to day activities. As such, the thinking process must be made by individuals through detaching themselves from the expectations of the society. To some extent, this term has a similar meaning to sociological perception. In the modern world, many people have given several meanings to sociological imaginations. However, they all connote a situation whereby individuals ...

The aim of this essay is to present you with a literary analysis of the poem ‘London’ which is written by William Blake (1757-1827). The poem was written in 1792 and was included in the combined edition titled ‘Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience’ which was edited in 1794. This is a poem which seems classical in value since it depicts the society of the capital of England in an era which seems to bear numerous traits and characteristics in common with nowadays society. The end of the 18th century was a period marked by the increasingly worrying gap between ...

Comparison of two poems, “The Indian to His Love” and “The Hosting of the Sidhe”, written by the same poet.

Introduction “The Indian to His Love” demonstrates an appealing movement that makes the poem to appear unexciting and lifeless as compared to the highly exciting atmosphere that is created by the poem “The Hosting of the Sidhe.” The two poems by William Yeats are completely different. For each poem, Yeats views the world from different perspectives. This therefore makes it impossible for the poet to successfully deal with the theme in “The Indian to His Love” in the same manner as in “The Hosting of the Sidhe". The relationship between the characters of the two poems is ...

Shakespeare, Hughes, and Blake to

Evoke Strong Feelings in Their Readers

Good poetry should tantalize the senses; the reader should be able to feel, see, and taste as the poet does. In their poems, the following poets, Shakespeare, Hughes, and Blake write tributes to someone dear and use figurative language to bring their poems to life and hold their readers in the same realm as they when they penned their poems.

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day,?” is how Shakespeare begins sonnet eighteen, with a simile. Clearly Shakespeare is addressing someone special, someone he really cares about and admire. Shakespeare uses a question ...

“The Wanderer” and “The seafarer”

“The Wanderer” and “The Seafarer” are poems whose authors are unknown. The setting of each poem is the sea and they are written in the period of the Angelo Saxon; the poems are written in figurative language; and they have very distinct elements

“The Wanderer and “The Seafarer” poems are usually studied together. However “The Seafarer” is the more popular of the two and one of the best examples of melancholic poetry.

Wong's exploration of Hong Kong through his use of cinematography and storytelling in Chungking Express is an example of the director-flaneur. The film displays an urban landscape depicting Hong Kong as an increasingly globalized city, a command-post city that is constantly changing. Wong shows Hong Kong to be a very dreamlike, impressionistic place, as characters wander through it nearly marooned in this global city mirage (Berry, 2008).

Time-space compression is exemplified through the myriad landscapes that the two characters wander through, from fast food shops to lonely streets. These policemen show just how globalization limits the potential of the flaneur and ...

In the film Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) Dr. Victor Frankenstein did indeed have a moral responsibility to the creature he brought into the world, since he had quite literally decided to play God and make this monster out of dead body parts. He then compounded his arrogance by rejecting his own creation, which still had the mind of an infant, and leaving it alone to wander the earth. He had carried out these experiments with the best of intentions, with an obsession to create a new kind of superhuman species that would never experience illness, old age or death. In ...
