Battle of Kendrick Lamar and MacklemoreIn the 2014 Grammy Awards, hip hop aficionados and music geeks all thought Kendrick Lamar would be the one to take home the award for best rap album. To everyone's surprise, Macklemore, a white artist, won instead. These two top selling artists are definitely talented, but many claim that Macklemore did not earn the trophy over Kendrick Lamar. These people believe that Kendrick Lamar's album was all around better, but the fact that Macklemore is white provided an edge against the competition. I will go over the commonalities and distinctions between the two artists, to explain why people think this way. While Macklemore and Kendrick Lamar are similar in that they are both top selling artists, Macklemore won because of his greater marketability potential. This is not solely attributed to his race, but also his music style and upbringing. Kendrick Lamar grew up in Compton, California, and had a firsthand view of living in a violent neighborhood. His father was associated to gangs at t |

Security Problems and SolutionsNowadays, people always have many problems when they go outside, and so many troubles can happen with them somehow. Many security problems were announced by a survey of many people that have faced those problems. The security in public is hard to control because the bad things or guys can mingle with the crowd and disappear after a moment. It's very hard to know what to do, but at least they must obey the law in public. Robbing and smoking in public are two problems that still exist today and many people can't lessen the effect on the crowd. First of all, robbing in the public is very dangerous and criminal. The reason many people do it is because they can see something very valuable and desirable. It's a rude and despicable action because it is greedy and selfish of them. For example, many things are in a purse, but they just take the money and after that, they just throw it away without mercy and thought. Many people lose their personal information forever and they can't take it back because the information isn't made again. However, in many cases, the robber will give the purse back to the owner, but the number of cases of handing it back to the owner is |

Universities, Society and EngineeringThe world 'university' comes from Latin word 'universitas' which means having independent personality and community of people who have same demands. Today, the university is the community of scientists and scholars in order to do research, develop science and be global. Today, there is a big race in different nations so science is needed for guiding them much more than past years. The future of the nation's depends on the power of science and technology they have. Technology is the result of scientific knowledge and sources. If there is no effort to boost the power of science, technology and its application fields would not progress and it would stabilize. Without doing science and expanding their data, only income of technology affec |

Cultural Identity in CanadaThe relationship between culture and tradition in a society defines the very characteristics of said society, as well as further explains and aids our understanding of experiences like race, class, gender among many other distinguishing factors. Due to there not being a concrete definition of culture, there is a varying response to what it is, however it is generally understood that culture reflects the values of a time and place. Unlike their peer term, tradition, culture is not stagnant and changes over periods of time or based on its geography. An example of tradition could be the tossing of graduation caps upon convocation, but the culture of today's students wanting to take time off or travel with friends, based on a western understanding. In contrast, in a country like Pakistan, it is expected that the average student then immediately joins the workforce and/or commits to post-graduate studies. Due to the differing locations, the cultures as a result are also different. Yet stude |

Literary Essay - Hamlet"Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is our only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, – two dishes, but to one table: that's the end" (4.3.20-25). It is important to analyze passages within various plays, as many serve to develop conflict, character, and plot. Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, being one of the most analyzed plays in existence, establishes the palpable theme of madness. There is a recurring question that exists being: "is Hamlet's 'antic disposition' (1.5.173) feigned or genuine?" Hamlet is wrought by overwhelming fits of madness at the knowledge of his father's death however, he has not lost his mind and only wishes to be deemed as insane. As Hamlet continuously displays numerous signs of madness, there is also a continual development of conflict. During Act 4, Scene 3 of Ham |

Cyberbullying and Youth"Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm", said Anna Maria Chavez. The result of combining technology and bullying originates a phenomenon, which is called cyber bullying. Cyber bullying involves sending or posting harmful or cruel text and/ or images using the Internet through any social media. Due to its harassing nature, cyber bullying negatively affects teenagers causing them emotional and psychological issues. Cyber bullying can be even more dangerous than traditional bullying because offenders aren't attacking their victims face-to-face who cannot know why they are being targeted. Furthermore, the harassment can be easily shared on the Internet. The psych |

Shaping My PersonalityBefore we get into the scientific basis of what shaped my personality, I would like to establish my own theory of how I obtained my personality. I get told all the time that I'm crazy, outgoing, "special", extroverted, and awesomely hilarious. My personality is what makes me "me" and I'm the only one who knows me best. What I do believe is that I didn't forge my personality on my own. My mother taught me to be gracious, respectful of others, and treat people the way I want to be treated. My father taught me to be tough when a situation calls for it and my twin sister definitely taught me to have patience. Does being taught how I was supposed to act when I was younger help forge my personality? I really can't answer that question because I have no evidence if it did or didn't. All I know is that I'm a unique individual and I don't ever want to change that I am. Now that I have talked about my own theory, lets get into if I inherited my personality or if my environm |

Professor Erikson and the Night WalkWhat's your impression of your school? Is it boring? Are the perplexing essays and loads of other assignments the first thing that pop into your head, as they do in mine? My first thoughts, however, changed after a short night walk with a group of classmates and our professor on the school campus. As we walked past the aqua-blue swimming pool and the alley with emerald lawn, and looked up at bright Venus hanging in the dark sky, I discovered a mysterious and charming side of the school, which had always been hiding somewhere, piece by piece. For more than two years I've been studying at this college, and hundreds of times I've walked by this pool at night. How did I ignore its beauty? Tonight it looked like a shining diamond set in a deep, dark forest? Where has this lake been hiding? The walk began in our classroom with a command given by Professor Erickson in a low-pitched voice: "We will walk to the swimming pool." I felt lazy and bored as I clumsily brought up the rear.

Scenarios of LeadershipThe situation would have been considerably different if the manager had involved the employees in the decision-making process and asked their advice before the implementation of such important novelty in the business. First of all, the manager had to find out if the workers had enough experience in the field of maintenance the printers. Secondly, he had to ask if they were ready to change their working duties from changing the cartridges to maintaining the printers. Finally, the manager had to organize a meeting with employees and find out their attitude to such changes and made his final decision, basing on the workers' opinion. Consequently, the outcome would be obviously much better, and the company's reputation would not suffered. Moreover, the involvement of employees is one of the fundamental factors of becoming a successful manager. It is the best way of inspiration and encourageme |

Ayurveda and Western Medicinal TreatmentsBeing ill is one of the natural phenomena that man has been dealing with for thousands of years. According to historical records, some illnesses and diseases, which are now under control, are said to have killed thousands of people due to the lack of awareness and proper treatments. Since then, in response to this threat to the human race, practitioners have developed a number of medical systems. Among them, Ayurveda medicine and western medicine have gained in popularity. However, even though Ayurveda and western medicinal treatments are similar in some aspects, the main focus, side effects, and quality control have been some important aspects that need to be taken into consideration when weighing the pros and cons of the two medical approaches. There are some pretty solid similarities to show why those who seek medical treatment have been equally attracted to Ayurveda and modern medicine. One similarity |

The Problem of Identity TheftIdentity theft is when someone pretends to be someone they aren't. They are attempting to gain access to the victim's resources or obtain credit and other benefits that are in the victim's name. There are many consequences for the victim if they are held responsible for the thief's actions. There are also ways that a person can protect themselves from potentially being a victim of identity fraud. There are many cases out there where people have been charged with identity theft. A Los Angeles woman was going to school to become a licensed medical biller. She worked at a medical billing company. People at the college began to investigate this suspect after she was able to pay for 1,000 in classes and other school expense. After almost 9 months of investigation, the suspect was arrested on susp |

Manual and Electronic SchedulingIn the world today, technology is an imperative part of our lives and hard to function without for most. Technology is the new era in our current generation. Instead of doing things manually, the computer has always been my first option. Computers are convenient, combined with the internet, they can be a great asset to us and we have achieved a lot from them. Although computers are nice to have, we have to think about the complications that they can bring upon us. Computers are liable to crash, shut down, or become subject to the intricacy of hackers. When doing things manually, you can never fail or have to depend on the computer. On the other hand, one has to take into consideration human errors and the need for excellent record keeping. It may take a lot of hard work to get things done manually, but it will always be a great back up to rely on. The only option to fully understand the benefits from either, would have to be discussing the pros and cons for both. There are pros and |

Mythology of the RabbitsIn the traditional mythology of certain Latin American tribes, the goddess of rabbits is said to take part in an ancient rite of purification together with the Lord of the Spring. This event occurs if and when Jupiter is in the twelfth house during the month of March. To this day, remnants of these tribes celebrate this event by chanting poetry around a driftwood fire while wearing nothing but a cloak woven from the bark of a sacred willow tree. As a tribute to the goddess, a baby rabbit is sacrificed during the third minute of the third hour of the day in which Jupiter enters the symbolic house. The blood of the rabbit is then used to paint the bodies of the tribesmen, ensuring protection by the heavens for the coming season. Discovering the rich cultural history of the rabbit was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. I began to research the rabbit and the mythology surrounding it. At first, it was only a passing interest, a casual read through Wikipedia pages and a little inner glow of the certainty of my kn |

Relevance of Weberian BureaucracyThe term 'bureau' in Latin simply means 'desk', it was invented by a French philosopher, Vincent De Gourney in 1745. There are two kinds of bureaucracy, one is political and the other is non-political. Political are the representatives, they are temporary. The non-political are the experts of administration. They are referred to as permanent executive. Therefore political executive depends upon non-political executive. Administration by the non-political executive is called 'bureaucracy'. Bureaucracy as defined by Max Weber is the most characteristic form of government administration. The administrative staff members are engaged in the discharge of only the impersonal duties of their officers, they are personally free. His theory of bureaucracy finds the central place in all bureaucratic functioning till the present time. India follows Weber's theory of bureaucracy and places it in the normative space but with time has deviated into inefficiency and corruption. S.K D |

Causal Factors of the Scientific RevolutionOne cause of the Scientific Revolution was the impact of realist and naturalist approaches of artists during the Renaissance setting the standard for the study of natural phenomena. During the Renaissance, there the humanist belief in humans' merit and ability gave rise to a focus on understanding reality. The Age of Exploration witnessed the influx of specimens into Europe from the newly opened and explored New World. Simultaneously, artists of the Renaissance produced highly detailed drawings of these plants through Renaissance secular curiosity. Impacted by the examples of how people examined natural objects, Andreas Vesalius was spurred to start dissecting bodies so that he could, like the Artists of the Renaissance, study the specimen in more detail. He adopted the mindset that one could get the most accurate and undisputed facts from seeing the truth for himself rather than traditionally read the works of Galen. With this initial mindset, Vesalius went on to make unprecedented ob |

Models, Photoshop and Self-ConfidenceFashion industries create a picture perfect image of what the perfect man or woman should look like and this challenges the average person to attempt with all their effort to work towards looking like this. These companies create a distorted perception of beauty in the minds of their consumers. They do this by taking men and women and applying makeup, hair products and photoshop to their faces and bodies to make them look absolutely flawless. This version of beauty they create is never too average and never too far-fetched in order to keep their consumers working towards it and never reach it. After using the product, when consumers realise they cannot reach that level of beauty it often leads to low self-esteem and lower self-wort |

Artistic Depictions of VenusI chose to compare Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Agnolo Bronzino's Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time. Botticelli painted the Birth of Venus in 1482, during the Renaissance and Bronzino painted his Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time in 1545 during the Mannerism era. Both of these paintings depict the mythological Roman goddess Venus, who represents love, sex, beauty, and fertility, but each uses different styles to narrate their different stories. Both Venuses have similar physical characteristics; for instance, they both have pale, porcelain like skin, darker blonde hair, and are nude. They both appear to be elongated and only one of Venus's breasts is visible in both pictures. Bronzino's Venus appears to be more realistic because of the way she is sitting on the ground while Botticelli's Venus seems to be st |

Documentary - Hearts and MindsHearts and Minds (1974), is a Peter Davis documentary concerning various perspectives on the influences, circumstances, and the results of the United States of America presence in Vietnam during the mid sixties until the early seventy's. Davis makes the decision to present information from a variety of sources, portraying material not purely focused on the American solider side of the conflict, but also from the perspective of deserters, citizens of Vietnam, military family members, politicians, and even average Americans back home. Decades later, through Davis' most careful and deliberate execution of filming and editing, this film is still able to elicit an emotional response. Using the approach to documentary filming called cinema vérité and purposefully juxtaposing contrasting ideals and misconceptions, Davis' brings to the screen a meaningful and provocative representation of events in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He shows America and the world a side to the War w |

Descriptive Essay - Pizza Any DayThere is no other food that will delight, elate, or energize me as pizza does. Whether it is the garlic, smothered crust pizza from Dominos, the mile-long stretchable cheese pizza from Pizza Hut, or my favorite, the irresistible supreme pan pizza from Papa John's. On any day of the week, any time of the day, pizza will completely satisfy my hunger. It is like the air to my lungs, something I can not possibly live without. Out of all the foods I enjoy feasting on, pizza is by far my favorite. Often, my hunger shoots to the sky as if I have never ate in a whole week. I feel like the man from Survivor Man; where he goes long, dreadful days on end, without eating a single meal. As desperate as every marathon runner trying to reach the finish line, I call my local pizzeria. "Hello, thank you for calling; how can I help you" says the enthusiastic employee, desperately, I said, "Yes, may I have two medium pan pizzas, topped with pepperoni, ham and jalapeños." The employee estimated that the pizza would arrive in about forty-five minutes, but to me it was felt like eternity. Lo |

Photo Analysis of Fencing Semifinal CallOn July 31, 2012 at the London Olympics, South Korean fencer Shin A Lam lost the semifinal bout after a debatable judge's decision. After a tie was reached, Lam and her opponent competed in a sudden death bout. At the last second both fighters scored one point. Unfortunately, after a coin toss, Lam's opponent gained favor, so, of no fault of her own, Lam lost. In this case, a winner was not decided based on strength, wit, or ability, but rather, a strange twist in fate. This photo records a moment when the difference between winning and losing is not so black and white, but gray. This photo documents Shin A Lam's reaction to losing the bout. At first glance, the viewer can see Lam with her head in her hands, a gestu |

Global Economy and the Positive-Sum GameDue to the ongoing globalization of markets and the increasing removal of barriers1, economic interactions between different countries are subject to fundamental discussions. Whilst some people argue that global economy unfolds positive overall effects, others believe that it only benefits some of the actors involved at the expense of the remaining participants. With regard to this debate, the present essay investigates liberal claims that the international economy is a "positive-sum" game, arguing that evidence supporting Liberalism is of rather fragile nature.2 According to Liberalism, international economic exchange provides advantages for all actors involved and leads to an increase in wealth. The expression "positive-sum" game used in this context refers to a game or situation in which all participants are able to profit from mutual exchange in different ways.3 It is linked to Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage which states that countries gain from t |

Girls and STEM ResearchAs one of PHS's high school counsellors, I see a tremendous amount of women that steer away from the science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics, (STEM) courses. It is extremely urgent that we start sparking interest in girls to find enjoyment in these courses. From early childhood girls and boys receive different treatment based on their gender, and that starts the processes of gender identity. Many very smart, talented, capable women pass up the opportunity to continue with STEM classes, and it's our job to start the diversion process to make them become more active in the these fields. I have many ideas that I believe can help these ladies from everything that I have seen work in the past, while working as high school Counselor. I believe that the first step in helping these girls is encouragement. If we can have more teachers give more positive encouragement towards the women when they are doing well. It means a lot when an instructor says to a frustrated female student, "I have done |
