Personal Statement - Playing the PianoWhen I was eight years old, I started playing the piano. It was during my piano playing lessons as a young child that I discovered the power of passion. My desire to learn the songs I heard in the scores of movies I loved began from watching The Pianist. I remember the first time I heard "Nocturne in C Sharp minor" by Chopin performed by Wladyslaw Szpilman in the film. I admired Szpilman's passion and perseverance throughout the movie as he struggled to survive the destruction of World War II. It was his drive to live and play music, his only sole comfort and passion, that influenced me to ask my mom to enroll me in piano and music theory lessons. I still remember my first lesson. I sat up straight on the polished wooden bench and adm |

History and The Declaration of IndependenceIn Howard Zinn's 'History is A Weapon', he reexamines the true nature of the American independence war as well as the revolution at the time. According to Zinn and other historical evidences, the was of independence was far less glorious and liberating as the leaders of the war had stated it to be. That is, there are as much injustice conducted by the American government with regard to racial and gender issues as the old British colonists. Under the same light, one ought to scrutinize the Declaration of Independence in validating Zinn's arguments. The last sentence from chapter 4 of Howard Zinn's book, "tyranny is tyranny let it com from whom it may" (Zinn, cup 4), concludes his central theme of the chapter that the American Revolution was not an attempt of saving the country from colonialism with a legalized and democratic system that belongs to the New World Americans. On Zinn's account, the only thing changed after the revolution is the people in charge of the count |

Coping Mechanisms for SoldiersDay in and day out soldiers carry the necessities that they need to survive. They carry pocket knives, M-16, and M-60, and more. Soldiers not only carry their equipment, they carry the physical and mental strain that the war puts on them. This country was built on war, and soldiers need help to cope with the realities of war both during and after. Tim O'Brien describes the days of war and what the soldiers' daily struggles are in the story "The Things They Carried." Soldiers go into war with a mindset that they are going to protect their country and their loved ones. However, war has a way of changing a man mentally. The experiences that soldiers have to face while at war are very challenging. Tim O'Brien describes how each soldier carries something personal with them. Just like Lt. Cross carries love letters and two pictures from a young lady, Martha, who he wishes loved him, theses personal memorabilia keeps the soldiers going when the war gets tough or they are scared. &qu |

Major Methods of Poverty ReductionToday, the majority of the world population of about 7 billion lives under poverty. The greatest majority of the poor people are found in developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Poverty is defined as deprivation, meaning either lack of or shortage of things required to satisfy basic human needs of food, shelter and clothing. The level of poverty can be measured quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative measure depends on the level of income and food consumption. The income poverty measure can be international as well as national. The international income poverty level was determined by the World Bank and according to this measure, any person who lives on an income below US$1.25 per day is said to live below the poverty line. This amounts to about 25 Birr. So a person who lives on less than 25 Birr daily or below 9,000 Birr annually is said to live under poverty and is poor. However the national poverty line is set at Birr at 3841 annually for Et |

Inhumane Treatment of Minorities in WWIIThe treatment of the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and the mentally and physically disabled during World War 2 was inhumane. Do any of you think it's a thing of the past? It's not. Look at the news. Look at the beliefs of ISIS; who believe in a global Islamic state based on its beliefs, and will kill anyone that stands in the way. Look at the beliefs of the KKK; their core belief is to restore America back to being a white, Christian nation free from drugs, homosexuality, immigration, and race mixing. Look at the beliefs of the Westboro Baptist Church; who picket places and events they see as supporting either homosexuality or Jews, this include LGBT events, churches and organizations they feel do not repudiate homosexuality sufficiently, and the funerals of soldiers. These extremists' views of those with different opinions and beliefs are still present. One may wonder how these groups of people come up with these ideas, or how they could think of others as if. All of those groups hav |

Depression and How We Can HelpDepression is the number one mental illness in America. More than 40 million people a year are affected by it and due to the fact that it is purely psychological, the treatment and road to recovery can become two of the most difficult things to deal with. According to the Mayo Clinic Staff, depression is a mental illness that causes feelings of sadness and/or loss of persistence as well as physical symptoms such as loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, body aches and pains. Depression cannot only be diagnosed by health service professionals and loved ones, but we can also feel when we are suffering from depression. A feeling of unhappiness is one of the main symptoms that can we can notice ourselves as well as by the people around us. Unfortunately, depression can not only have a serious effect on one's life, but in many cases can lead the patient to go as far as taking his/her own life. Suicide.org has shown that depression is responsible for over 30,000 deaths in America, and 1 million |

Loss of Power and Control in Catrin'Catrin' by Gillian Clarke reinforces the themes of parent and child conflict and a conflict in emotions to show an overall loss of power and control for the protagonist of the poem, as well as her daughter, Catrin. The poem starts with a reference to Catrin's birth and how the mother feels inadequate and worried about raising a daughter and shows their constant arguing and clashes they have throughout their relationship. At the end of the poem there is a slight reinforcement of the mother's grasp for control. Clarke uses metaphors, juxtaposition and emotive language to highlight the struggle in their relationship. The poem starts with Clarke referencing the past; "I can remember you, child" to show the mother is trying to think of a positive time in her and her daughter's relationship. The writer has isolated the word 'child' through the use of a comma to hint that her relationship |

Nobody Comes by Thomas Hardy'Nobody Comes' by Thomas Hardy is a poem based on true events which happened in Hardy's life. The poem is based on Hardy waiting at home for his second wife who has a tumor removed and is being taken home by Hardy's brother. The poem has a very negative tone created through the use of personification, pathetic fallacy and semantic field to reinforce a sense of isolation and loneliness. The poem explores the various things Hardy witnesses whilst waiting for his wife to come home. Hardy sets the scene in the beginning of the poem, reinforcing an isolated setting. The stanza opens with the use of personification; "Tree-leaves labour up and down" which creates a dark and eerie tone. The verb "labour" infers the trees are being forced to move hinting the trees are being pushed around |

In a Utopian NationIn the United States we live in a law based government. We have the rights and opportunity to pick our political agents and how we need to experience our lives. In a Utopian Nation, it is an impeccable society that withstands incessant headways to achieve the most elevated amount of fulfillment for the greater part of individuals. Idealistic culture additionally gives flexibility to all. Everybody has diverse necessities and distinctive originations of Utopia. A Utopia thus gives distinctive governments and requests with the goal that all can live in a world that is ideal for themselves. One individual's heaven may be someone else's place of torment. An idealistic culture would permit a man to move from a general public that is his/her torment to a general public that is his heaven. Every individual has the |

Descrates's ContributionsHave you ever heard about Descartes's contribution? In philosophy, I admire one famous modern philosopher, who had several extraordinary contributions to philosophy in France, is Rene Descartes (Lavine 86). In Descartes's theory of animal, he contributed a quote, which is that "animals cannot use language to express themselves" as we do when placing our thoughts on record for the benefit of others, or in other words using language to make known ones thoughts in a meaningful manner (Lavine 118). He also showed his famous method of doubt, "I think therefore I am," is the basis of his theory of knowledge known as dualism (Lavine 97). I agree with both Descartes's theory of animal and the method of knowledge, which is "I think therefore I am" because Descartes made us to understand what ideas were in his mind. First, it is interesting that Descartes stated, "Animals cannot use language to express themselves," but I disagree with Descartes because an |

Style and Meaning in MacbethIn Shakespeare's Macbeth, the play introduces two partners of greatness with a strong desire to become the King and Queen of Scotland. Macbeth is introduced as a bold, noble, valiant, and worthy hero. Macbeth is initially a loyal general to King Duncan, but is corrupted by his hubris and excessive ambition. Lady Macbeth is introduced in the play as the authority figure in their relationship, with a strong ability to influence and manipulate Macbeth. In the play, the two characters' states of mind are revealed through imagery, diction, rhetorical devices, syntax, and figurative devices. In act 3, scene 2, as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship begins to deteriorate, their language reveals a weary Lady Macbeth, and an insecure and resolute Macbeth. Imagery reveals an insecure Macbeth plagued by his guilt, but also a resolute Macbeth determined to carry out Banquo's murder. First, he uses animal imagery to deliver the following statements: "We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd |

Van Gogh's Starry NightVincent Van Gogh's Starry Night intrigues me with his playful use of lines. At first glance, it may seem almost childlike, but when you look closely, Van Gogh has used each individual line to shape and form a whole image. This to me is amazing because a person truly loses the full impact of this painting when they view Starry Night on a small scale. When Van Gogh places each line they start to form the picture of a universe in constant motion and a static earth. I absolutely love the emotion portrayed in this painting. The sky is constantly moving and the swirling lines of the heavens focus the viewer's eyes upward. Isn't that what Van Gogh wants us to see and feel? Pushing us towards nature and our inner self. I could stare and dream about Starry Night all day and ne |

Animal Farm FallaciesAnimal Farm is novel that represents the era of communism in the Soviet Union during the 1940's. The author, George Orwell, depicts an image of animals that serve as the lower class rebelling against humans that embody the aristocracy during this epoch. Although the revolution was successful, the animals experience how tyranny can thrive in democracy and camaraderie. Throughout the novel, Orwell effectively displays rhetorical fallacies by appealing to the animals' emotional, ethical, and logical reasoning. Orwell succeeds in incorporating pathos into Animal Farm by using overly sentimental appeals, scare tactics, and bandwagon appeals. The emotional appeals that Orwell uses coincide and correlate with one another to help build the argument. Orwell uses these appeals by having the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, to manipulate the other animals through the ideals of Animalism. Animalism represents the guide in which the animals should live by; it's the basis for the animals' motto, "F |

Interest Groups in Texas PoliticsInterest groups are made up of individuals who share a common interest and band together to influence government decisions. Both interest groups and political parties are examples of collective participation. However, there are several differences between the two. First, interest groups do not run candidates for office. Interest groups focus on attempting to persuade those who already hold office to see things their way. Interest groups also may mobilize their members to work on behalf of particular candidates who are friendly toward the group and its goals. In addition, interest groups focus on specific or narrowly related issues while political parties take a position on a variety of issues in order to increase their chance of winning an election. Interest groups are a part of our vital political process. They are useful to the political process for three reasons. First, both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions guarantee the right of individuals to get together to petition the governme |

Iago and the DevilShakespeare intended that Iago be a static character, but he is in no way described as a simple man. Iago was created to be the catalyst of the play, a character fuelled by jealousy. In Othello, Shakespeare utilized the theme of jealousy so that the audience feels powerless to help the circumstances within the play. We are given soliloquies that give insight to Iago's true character and intentions, enough to know and understand that he is a two-sided character. The humble companion and friend he is to Othello, is not the man who the audience interpret him to be. At times Iago is almost devilish in his ways, and it is easy to forget that he is a human character, as susceptible and capable of emotion as you and I. Iago wears a mask when facing other characters, the mask of honesty. However when he finally throws his mask down, his true conniving nature is revealed. Shakespeare created Iago as the spitting image of Satan, such as Iago has his own mask; Satan works with his own disguises. A classic example is in the biblical story set in the Garden of Eden. The audience views that Iago manipulates the power of jealousy th |

My First JobA personal experience that I went threw in my life at one point in my life would be when I got my first job. My first job was an important experience in my life because I would had never thought I would ever get a job this early in my life I was expecting to get my first job when I turn at least 25 years old. The reason why I got the job in the first place was because my mom used to always complain that I was too lazy and that it was about time that I start working and start earning my own money instead of having to depend on her or on my father. But I wouldn't listen to her and when she saw that I wasn't looking for a job she told my father if he can get me a job working with him in his job which he works in a restaurant. I started working with my dad on march 12 2014 I was only in 11th at the time I was only 16 about to turn 17.

When Things ChangeSociety's temptation and flaws causes everyday living to be a struggle in balancing the good and evil. O'Connor's use of characterization, symbolism and the theme, "a good man is hard to find" reveals the breakdown of respect and discipline in American society.

Iconography of Arnofini WeddingThe Arnolfini Portrait is an oil painting on oak panel that measures 32.3 in x 23.62in, currently hanging in the National Gallery, London, painted in 1434 by Jan van Eyck. It is also known as The Arnolfini Wedding, The Arnolfini Marriage, The Arnolfini Double Portrait or the Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife, among several other titles. At first glance, the painting is very realistic and depicts a man and a woman that are holding hands. The couple is obviously inside a room with a substantial amount of light coming through the windows, and the woman appears to be pregnant. The couple is assumed to be Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini and his wife Giovanna Cenami, although this has not been confirmed, and is supposedly painted in their bedroom. Van Eyck has many hidd |

Belonging and ConnectionsThe connections that one forms with both individuals and the surrounding world have the ability to provide the individual with a sense of inclusion, security and acceptance. Such relationships also have the ability to rob them of individuality however, often causing changes in identity after altering personal beliefs and desires in pursuit of the natural human need to belong. Anh Do's 'The Happiest Refugee, a memoir of the life of a refugee, largely explores the latter notion, as well as the way in which the formation of these connections can challenge the perceptions of a society. A good example of the former concept however, is found within Holly Goldberg Sloan's 'Counting by 7s', a fictional text depicting an orphan genius girl, twelve years of age, whose surrogate parents are killed in a car accident. Through the varying exploration of varying personal, social and cultural barriers to belonging, the two texts explore the potential of familial bonds as well as connection |

Moonraker used a lot different shot techniques and sequences to not only excite the viewer but also to involve the viewer in the film The use of high angle long shot in this film gave breathtaking moments during scenes. During the very beginning of the film, the shot sequences took place after a fight between Bond and Jaws. In this sequence there was a high angle long shot of Jaws, the villain, reacting to the fact that his parachute ripcord was broke.

Is Adultery Immoral?"Is Adultery immoral" is a paper written by psychology professor Richard Wasserstrom. Richard Wasserstrom is a retired professor at the University of California Santa Cruz. Wasserstrom argues " although sexual exclusivity is not a necessary condition of marriage, adultery in general is wrong because it involves deceit" (Wasserstrom 370). The purpose of this essay is to question our views on sexual morality. He lists that committing the act of adultery consists of acting upon immoral practices, the breaking of promises, and marital bonding. Wasserstrom assumes that breaking promises, deceiving, and taking unfair advantage of people is immoral. There since all these acts are a big chunk of what adultery is it is immoral. Mr. Wasserstrom defines adultery as "any case of extramarital sex". "Hence wh |

Philosophy Final: Sexual MoralityBack in the fifties and sixties, sex was a subject of taboo nature, and usually was not discussed and was left in the bedroom. In the seventies sexual activities were brought to the news, thanks to the sexual revolution brought to us by hippie and counterculture. The creation of the first contraceptive pill in the 1960s to be sold in american markets, was thank to the sexual revolution. Thanks to the sexual revolution the topic of sex has finally come into discussion, opening the door to potentially having a society where sex is accepted, and where lack of communication and information on sex is no longer an issue. but even today there seems to be traces of attitudes towards sex passed on by the standards of the 1920's, bringing upon the discussion of sexual morality. Sexual morality can be produced by many factors such as religion, race, culture, and gender. Two writings, that will be focused on, to discuss sexual morality are The Vatican's "Declaration of Sexual Ethics" an |

Challenges Facing New TeachersBeginning Teachers encounter many challenges during their initial years and this can be a particularly difficult time for these teachers as they learn to integrate into the education service (Rogers & Babinsky, 2002). This cannot be any truer, especially in the light of the many new initiatives launched in the local education sphere. Beginning Teachers in Singapore are increasingly confronted by various challenges in implementing novel introductions and amendments in the education system; one of which is the Character and Citizenship Education (CCE). Another challenge facing beginning teachers arises from working with the first point of contact with the external community; the parents (Boon, 2011) - the most important stakeholders in education outside the domain of the school's administration. Apart from these, teachers are also face the obstacles in delivering quality education equally to all students, as disparity grows in our society in numerous ways. In 2011, the Minister of Educ |
