My Mistress' Eyes...by William ShakespeareMy mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. In his poem, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun," Shakespeare engages his reader by presenting a woman realistically rather than romanticizing her. He does this by criticizing the courtly love tradition, thereby reversing the conventions of his time. In order to accomplish his theme of realistic love, Shakespeare brilliantly presents us with binary opposites. The very first lin |

The Minister's Black Veil by Nathaniel HawthorneWhat is it about a black veil that makes women faint, children stop playing, and cause adults to be afraid? In the story "The Minister's Black Veil" the main character, Mr. Hooper, decides to start wearing a black veil and refuses to take it off despite the fact that he is a pastor. Upon close examination, the reader discovers that the black veil worn by Mr. Hooper is a symbol of separation and secret sin. The first thing the veil represents is separation of two kinds. The first kind of separation is between the pastor and his congregation. A pastors job is to be connected to his people and be an approachable figure to them. When Mr. Hooper comes into the church wearing the veil, immediately the people become nervous about him. Some even doubt it is Mr. Hooper "Are you sure it is our parson?" (Hawthorne 390). The effect the veil has on the people is not something that goes away. The more he wears the veil the more division there is with him and his people. " |

Alternative DevelopmentThe first rural development efforts to address illicit cultivation were started the 1970s with projects that narrowly focused on substituting drug crops for other products were predominantly negative. Therefore, the AD concept was gradually widened and comprehensive approaches were developed in order to contribute to sustainable conversion of drug crop cultivating areas. At the UN General Assembly special session on the world drug problem in 1988 the UN General Assembly defined AD as a rather broad concept compatible with UN member states: "a process to prevent and eliminate the illicit cultivation of plants containing narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances through specifically designed rural development measures in the context of sustained national economic growth and sustainable development efforts in countries taking action against drugs, recognizing the particular socio-cultural characteristics of the target communities and groups, within the framework of a comprehensi |

Euthanasia - Care, Not KillingAll around the world people are trying to legalize euthanasia, claiming that one deserves to die a peaceful death even if they're giving a group of people the right to kill. The problem is that many countries have legalized euthanasia and many countries are in the process of legalizing it. Some groups believe in euthanasia because they don't have a clear explanation of what exactly euthanasia is, and how it affects the public. Euthanasia, or assisted suicide, is when a physician kills a patient using a lethal injection, with the patient's consent. Euthanasia wasn't a major issue back then, but nowadays the problem is growing since its being legalized in many countries such as: Australia, Canada, India, United States, Mexico and New Zealand. Every patient that wants euthanasia to be practiced on them has their own reasons, but the most common causes of euthanasia are unbearable pain, vulnerability and pressure from family or friends. This issue not only affects patients, but also famili |

The Tragedy of the CommonsWhat is politics? In general, politics is a widely understood term, and one that usually induces thoughts of governments, states, and international relations. It explains the behavior of nations, encompasses many different political ideologies, and on occasion it is blamed as the cause of wars and corruption. The actual meaning of politics however, is complex and debatable, and should not be oversimplified. Formally, politics is, "the activity through which people make, preserve, and amend the general rules under which they live." Basically, politics is the way in which groups of people cooperate and make decisions for a usually larger group of people. To better understand the concept of politics, one must first also understand the concept of the "tragedy of the commons" and the problem of "collective action." The tragedy of the commons is an idea first developed by Garrett Hardin. Hardin describes this theory through a metaphor, in which many herdsmen |

Reformation of the Malaysian Education SystemIntroduction Education in Malaysia has gone through extensive changes throughout the years. These constant changes or ˜reforms' are carried out with perhaps only one vision in mind, and that is to improve the current existing teaching and learning procedures in schools and higher institutions of learning. Such action highlights the government's endless efforts in trying to improve the quality of education for its people. After a decade into the New Millennium, the education scenario is more pressed to undertake even more improvements in trying to cope with the demands and expectations of education in the 21st century. We can no longer be satisfied with what we have, but instead there is a need to constantly compare ourselves to that of more developed nations, and this is especially true with the field of education. This is to ensure that our people will be able to compete internationally in this borderless world. This is very much in-line with the vision of our longest-serving P |

The Third World: Invention of the Cold WarThe most significant development in international relations since the end of World War II has been the rise of a new political entity known as the Third World. The term Third World is a historical construct which create the notion of countries that are relatively poor, underdeveloped, racially minor, and thus politically non-influential. The identity and role of the Third World is shaped by the historical experience of colonialism, the involvement in ideological and political conflicts among major powers, and is more and more reinforced, rather than ameliorated through their tottering participation in the global capitalist economy. Third World under these various global movements have been facing persistent hardship to escape embroilment at the confines of the struggles between major powers, to assert their national identities, and to celebrate and pursue the ideal of self-determination. The term Third World, generally thought, was an invented term from the Cold War phase. Third World |

Not So Quiet by Hellen Zenna SmithHellen Zenna Smith tries to get across a clear and concise message in her novel Not So Quiet. That message implies no matter the war, it is a grizzly and destructive force and it can shake free even the deepest-rooted forms of social norms and values. Smith emphasizes this idea straight from the beginning of the novel when Tosh shaved off all of her hair (14). She described how necessity took over in these women's lives. This necessity caused most of the women to look at their roles in society differently. Some of the values and norms that are questioned in the text are, nationalism, femininity, sexual morality and social standing. In the beginning of the book, we see that the women feel bonded by nationalism. This nationalism has brought them to the front line as ambulance drivers during World War I. Nellie "Smithy " Smith, the main character of this novel, questions this nationalism many times throughout the book. Even Tosh pokes fun at Smithy when she calls her "one of England's |

Children and ObesityAs a concern with childhood obesity arise, it is becoming a big social problem. According to Doug Tynan in the article, "Whose responsibility is childhood obesity?"" (2011), it is one of the major reasons for the rising cost of health care. Then who is at fault of childhood obesity? Should we blame general society or parents? We definitely have issues in our society that boost children's risk of obesity such as fancy junk food advertising which mainly targeting children, gym classes being cut, and video game sports replacing real sports. It seems like it is a tough thing to drive our children into good health habits, but the responsibility to reduce childhood obesity and live healthier lives mainly falls with the parents. Better educated parents feed their children well. No matter there is so many unhealthy food advertisings and restaurants, as Tynan says, "What we eat, and what we feed our children is our choice. " (2011, para.3) Of course good parents want |

Speech: In Defense of EuthanasiaLast evening while making our journey to Assam Valley School, I saw an ambulance. Every time I see an ambulance passing by, I just pray to god that the person inside it dies if his condition is very critical. If he is not fit to live, then his life will only bring him more pain, suffering and agony. It is better to die, than to live a life that is not worth living. This is the sentiment behind euthanasia, this is what we really wish, this is what reality is and this is why we take our stand here. Good morning respected judges, members of the proposition and opposition and to each and every one present here, today we not only take a stand here, but we take a stand here for a cause for we firmly believe Euthanasia is always justified. Ladies and gentleman, what actually is euthanasia? World Health Organization defines euthanasia as the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. I solemnly have just one question that I would like to put forward in front of this house today, what is wrong with legalizing euthanasia? No I do not want irrelevant, insensitive remarks which |

The Extending Reach of Social NetworkingSince the end of the 20th century, society has been quickly adapting on all levels to the integration of the Internet. Friends and families for the first time could stay connected without the inconvenience of a phone call or handwritten letter and this spread like wildfire. As more households obtained computers, online communication became much more frequent and demanded by the general public. Social Network sites were created in response to this demand and were largely successful especially in the market of college and teenage kids. The rise of social networking has brought efficiency and practicality to communication amongst people of all ages and positively contributes to kids during transformative years. The popularity of social networking has grown exponentially and will continue to grow due to its ability to satisfy the social needs of society. According to the study conducted by Yost, H. & Fan, S.

Winston's 1st Diary Entry vs. Collateral MurderIn both Winston's diary and the visual clip, there are innocent people killed. In Winston's diary, the location is the sea and helicopters are targeting the innocent people on the ship, some of them are drowning and dying. Whereas in the visual clip it's happening on solid ground and the targeted people are weaponized but are also getting shot without even using their weapons yet but we don't know whether they're innocent or if they have killed others before and now revenge is being taken. The audience in Winston's diary and the soldiers in collateral murder are being amused because they got used to seeing people dying in front of them that it doesn't affect them anymore and they don't feel bad about it or guilty. They think or have been told that the people they're killing are the enemy and it |

D'habitude - Moira EganSample poetry paper from a previous 210 class (AUBG student) D'habitude Moira Egan "God, humans are creatures of habit," I say to no one particular, myself, the man who calls himself my lover, behind me in the next room. The way we laugh when we hit the switch knowing there's no electricity, or turn the faucet to wash our hands anyway, plumber downstairs, no flow. Do what you've always done, and you'll get what you've always gotten. This is our homily these days, and I believe it. God, humans, creatures, here we sit in the cosmic chain of being, him in the next room, me at my work. He is reading, quietly, poems that make him moan. This is sweet because they are my own. He, of course, is not. There is a woman some miles away who yet is here with us, a corner of the room and our consciences just for her. Seems I've always been the third angle of the triangle, the heart- shaped chaos created by a yes born of a no. And what I now know is I want him alone, the slow m |

Investigative Literacy PortfolioDuring the CAES 9920 course, I learned to compose and distinguish the difference between a business academic paper and case synthesis. This broadened the aspect of how my major was being applied in reality. Additionally, through peer review sessions, I was able to gain valuable insight from the audiences which helped develop my writing skill. Writing business academic paper took more time and effort because of extensive background research. During the process, I realized that academic papers require highlighting contrasting perspectives based on the same topic. Although, many corporates and analysts supported CSR, there were others who were against it; the impact on corporate reputation for wrongfully acted CSRs, lack of corporate's stra |

The Benefits of BilingualismBilingualism is the ability to use two languages proficiently. However, being bilingual is very challenging; learning another language besides from someone's first language usually takes a lot of time and effort. Some people believe that the advantages of being bilingual far outweigh any disadvantages, so the hard work and persistence will always pay off. On the other hand, some people believe that learning a second language is not necessary and is a waste of time. In Spanish Lessons by Christine Marin, she introduces the idea of how being bilingual can be beneficial by talking about her personal experiences. Through her realization of her identity as a Chicano who speaks both Spanish and English, she was motivated to have outstanding achievements such as being the liaison between the Mexican-American Students Organization and the University of Arizona. Like Marin, I am proud to be able to speak two languages because I feel like I am superior compared to other people who only spea |

Living or Existing?: The Euthanasia DebateMan is to Live not Exist Terry Schiavo was a twenty-six-year-old woman who suffered a cardiac arrest on the morning of February 25, 1990. She was in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) experiencing lost of all cerebral cortex function, but has retained some good brain stem function (MacKinnon, 2013, p. 80). "A PVS patient is considered ˜highly unlikely' to live beyond a vegetative state, and after having gone through rigorous testing, may be diagnosed as such (Healthcare, 2014). Terry Schiavo's death would be considered an act of passive euthanasia, which "refers to withholding or withdrawing certain treatment and letting a patient die " (Mackinnon, 2013, p. 81). Utilitarianism is the idea that the moral worth of an action determined solely by its contribution to happiness or pleasure as summed among all people. It is thus a form of |

The Bionic EarEars are extremely unique organs that detect all sounds around mechanically. So this means the entire hearing system is based from physical movement. An object creates sound by vibrating. This vibration travels through the atmosphere by air particles. These vibrations are caught by the Outer part of the ear (Pinna). The pinna has unique shaping which helps detect the direction of sound. The soundwave then travels through the ear canal and interrelates with eardrum. Once in the ear canal the tympani membrane (eardrum) vibrates. The eardrum is located between the middle ear and ear canal. The middle ear connects to the throat through the Eustachian tube. This allows air to flow from mouth and outer ear to allow equal air pressure. This allows the eardrum to move freely. The eardrum reacts to compressions and refractions of sound waves. Higher pitch sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate at a faster rate. Louder sound moves the drum a further distance back. The next part of the ear is |

Short Biography of Christopher ColumbusChristopher Columbus is known for discovering the "new-world", including America and other countries. Although, there is a lot of controversy surrounding whether or not he should be dubbed as the person who discovered America. It is only said that he discovered America because no one in Europe had ever been to America before. Columbus was doubted by his King and his Queen to even survive the trip. However, when Columbus came back and showed the King and Queen the 12 Taino tribesman he kidnapped, they started funding expeditions for explorers such as himself and John Cabot, they also started making profit off local products such as rice tobacco and sugar, and slowly killing the natives with their diseases while doing this (Early American slavery quotes). To begin, Christopher Columbus is and was in his time know to be a great explorer. However when he approached King Ferdinand and Queen Isabela about sailing east for Asia, they were very skeptical as to if he would survive th |

Implementing the Religious Discrimination Policy in MyanmarIntroduction The Republic of the Union of Myanmar was praised as 'paradise of anthropology' based on its multi-ethnic and multi-religious communities, which represent the beauty and diversity of the nation. The ethnic people, who inhabited the modern Burma/Myanmar, though they were once united in the name of anti-colonialism, were divided and became enemies within the boundary, due to various historical development. Among various factors that shape the politics of contemporary Myanmar today, this paper will deal with "religious discrimination" as one of the policy used by the military junta towards ethnic cleansing in the Union. All means of discrimination against humanity tremendously threatened the world of today. Though discriminations base on religion are massive around the world, religious discrimination as a tool towards ethnic cleansing could hardly be found in the contemporary history of world politics, unless in Burma/Myanmar. The military junta persecuted |

My Place of Serenity - DriftwoodThe cool, crisp air filled my lungs while I stared into the moonlight. As I walked on the beach I felt the warm, salty tide hit my legs. The luminescent moon glistened off of the water. My mother shouted out into the night air: "Liam, it's time to go now!" I took one last look out at the water, abandoning it's temporary serenity in order to head to a place that brought me complete contentment--Driftwood. My mother and I rolled into the entrance of the campsite in our gold town & country minivan. Little did she know, the bottom of the car scraped the curb, but she doesn't really pay those things much mind anyway. As we eased up to the entrance I looked up and read the sign "Driftwood: Camping Resort". That's when it occurred to me that this may be the last time I enter through here. It was almost some type of gateway to happiness for me. We approached the first stop sign and I remembered that the speed |

Pereverance, Preparation and SuccessIt's Monday, 6AM, the first official day of summer, and a chilly morning for a run. After hitting the snooze button on my alarm, I figure it's time to make breakfast. I crack three eggs in a bowl, add a touch of milk, and scramble those bad boys. I'm out the door by 6:30 and complete my morning run by 7:00, followed by an hour stretch routine. Throughout the rest of the day I will have eaten seven more meals, lifted weights for two hours, and completed a 90 minute yoga routine before bed at 10:00 PM. This is the standard Monday through Friday routine during the summer in order to prepare for the motocross racing season. In order to succeed with anything in life, it is essential to incorporate perseverance and preparation. When I was about 13, I never prepared myself for a race. Once I took off from the starting line, I would ride my hardest, but never won. I would become exhausted and tired before the end of the race.
