Characters in The Sun Also RisesSet in Paris and the Spanish city of Pamplona, this novel is a story of a World War I veteran and writer, Jake Barnes, and his group of expatriates as they try to find meaning to their lives in the 1920's. Considering the novel is set in Paris, the city of love, one can assume that the characters will undoubtedly encounter sentimental romance. However, Hemingway's portrayal of Paris is one of a saddened, feeble, disillusioned postwar city and therefore, the characters deal with a somewhat saddening, feeble, postwar, love. In his novel, Ernest Hemingway describes a couple of characters, Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, who seem to share a very strange and distant kind of love for each other. The first of these characters is Jake Barnes. He deals with the everyday stress that comes with being injured. Jake was left physically disabled because of an injury he suffered during the war. This injury has left him with the inability to have physical sexual relations. The first hint of thi |

Business Review - Colgate Toothpaste1. Assess and discuss the CMF launch in the U.S. - the goal of launching CMF in the U.S., outcomes, etc. Colgate is the leading toothpaste brand in the U.S. Colgate Max Fresh or CMF could be considered one of the biggest products from Colgate. Their market research was proof that they will have a high target size enough to launch this new product. In this case, Colgate needed to come up with a product that would stand out from other products that were already in the market coming from their competition Crest who is also a very well known brand in the U.S. Because of this, they came up with the idea of CMF, toothpaste that would provide people with both health and whitening benefits. Over the case it was stated that Colgate actually made a huge investment on their advertising for CMF. Around 70% of their marketing budget was spent on this product. Apparently having a fresh breath was a high requirement for a huge part of the population, because of this, Colgate focused their CMF adds |

Human Rights in CubaHuman rights are "rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled". Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human. Human rights are thus conceived in a Universalist and egalitarian fashion. Such entitlements can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities, as justified moral norms or natural rights supported by strong reasons, or as legal rights either at a national level or within international law.1 As a student studying International Relations, I'm terribly attracted on the approach that N.G.Os strive against "human rights issues" in Cuba. Being Cuban American, I actually have tremendous interest in the area of human rights; particularly dealing with the Caribbean Island that has many issues dealing with human rights concerns and it's the country that my family drives from. I'll examine and analyze, the N.G.Os approach on human rights in Cuba by establishing four pillars of support to a |

After Apple Picking - Poetry AnalysisIn the poem, "After Apple-Picking," by Robert Frost, a man has been picking apples all day on a ladder. Night is going to fall soon and he is tired, so he must leave the field for the day. That morning, he had a vision when he looked at a bunch of grass through a sheet of ice he removed from a drinking trough. He thought it looked like the world was melting. He then dropped a thin piece of ice. As he recalls the vision, he is falling asleep. In his dreams that night he will dream of apples. He feels annoyed with the apples needing harvesting, because he has to be careful with them, and making sure they do not fall, although there are so many of them. If an apple does fall, it must be thrown into a heap to make the cider. These apples are considered almost worthless. He thinks that these thoughts of the worthless, dropped apples will haunt him in his sleep. He wonders if his sleep will be a long, deep sleep, like the hibernation of a woodchuck, or just a normal sleep. For Fr |

The Ozone MoleculeThe ozone molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms making it O3, just one more oxygen atom than an oxygen molecule (O2). Although it is made up of oxygen atoms; ozone molecules are very unstable and will easily bind to other atoms. Ozone molecules can be found in the stratosphere and troposphere layers of the atmosphere. However, the majority of ozone is found in the stratosphere between 10 and 30 miles above the earth's surface. The ozone layer was originally created by early organisms called blue-green algae. This algae lived in the ocean and used energy from the sun to split the H2O from the water and the CO2 in the air to make oxygen. This process is more commonly known as photosynthesis. The oxygen molecules then |

Legalization of Marijuana - Why or Why Not?Such legal drugs as alcohol have been a part of Western civilization for nearly 3,000 years along with tobacco for over 400 years, which causes more deaths than marijuana. Coffee is the most widely used psychoactive drug beverage in the world. In 1999, the average consumption of coffee was 3.5 cups per day per U.S. citizen. So why is marijuana illegal? It started with late President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush during their second term in office and proceeded on into President George Bush's and President Bill Clinton's office. The American people were now under the impression that this drug was the number one problem facing society-beating out the economy, violent crimes, poverty, illiteracy, domestic abuse, and TV violence. I do not believe there is any reason that marijuana should be illegal. The government has done studies, but what they say does not support the real evidence. There is an abundance of evidence out there as to why marijuana should or should not be l |

The Problem of Prison OverloadThe United States is known for the safety and security over its people. The government does not take crime lightly, that's why the prison system was introduced. Over the years the crime rate in the Unites States has steadily increased. The issue the government now faces is the overcrowding in all prisons. Right on Crime covers the issues that the prison system is currently faced with. Due to the overcrowding in all prisons a highly justified issue and possibly one of the main problems, "Thousands of harmless activities are now classified as crimes" (ROC). In order to solve the issues we must first face them head on. During the early century's punishment for those who committed crimes were considered abominations to their people. Big rallies were held for all to see what shame criminals brought onto themselves. Prison was not necessarily considered punishment; it was more of a waiting area for prisoners before they received their real punishment. Death was considered the gr |

The Benefits of Medical MarijuanaMarijuana is a substance that comes from cut and dried leaves from a plant called "cannabis sativa". Marijuana is also commonly referred to by most people as "grass", "pot", "Mary Jane", "herb", "weed", as well as many other nicknames. There are two main ingredients in marijuana: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) (Cox). THC is the ingredient that is most responsible for the psychological effects of marijuana. THC causes these effects as it stimulates cells in the brain; these brain cells then send signals to the brain to release dopamine, creating euphoria (Cox). Dopamine plays a role in the way the brain controls the body's movements, and when there is an excess of euphoria, a state of happiness or excitement, giving people the "high" effect (Cox). The other ingredient, CBD, is also a very highly debated ingredient in marijuana. CBD is the non-psychoactive drug in marijuana, making it not very popular |

Peryoperative HypothermiaThe aim of this assignment is to analyze and discuss the implications of inadvertent, preoperative hypothermia. My issue relates to the intra-operatively warming of patients during day case surgery, for example knee or ankle arthroscopies. In the hospital where I work, these operations are considered short time procedures, of less than 30 minutes, so special warming methods are considered unnecessary. However, we do not take into account details such as the irrigation fluid used for arthroscopies, which is not pre-warmed at body temperature, or the fall of the body temperature following the tourniquet release (Dr Raju, 2010), that can cool the patient. In addition, we do generalize the anesthetic care, unfortunately not considering the age, risk or ASA scoring o patient, treating each case only as an ''arthroscopy''. On admission to Recovery, patient's temperature might be below thirty-six degree Celsius. Often they shiver and complain of feeling cold, so a forced air-warming dev |

Wisdom of The Last Farmer by David MassDid you ever think about where all the fruits and vegetables we purchase at the supermarket come from? How you ever consider what how tedious work and dedication have been replace with a faster technology and equipment in order to mass produced and manufacture most of them, how they no longer come from nature, and how authentic work has been completely disregarded and they have been replace with chemically enhanced ones. The farmers are not the only one being harm by this chemicals but also the consumer think about every time u take a bite at a fruit that not only are u consuming that product but all the chemicals too.

Fallen Angels and The Man I KilledThe loss of innocence is an evident theme in both Walter Dean Meyers' "Fallen Angels" and Tim O'Brien's "The Man I Killed". Both pieces depict young men as they lose their innocence in the Vietnam War facing the inhumane acts that comes along with war. Although they are quite similar they also have vast differences as the characters go through their different endeavors thus enabling them to eventually lose their innocence. These experiences contribute immensely in their coming of age, as both characters realize how malicious the world can be. The concept "Loss of Innocence" deals with a period in one's life, usually during adolescence when they are exposed to troubles of life and see evil, pain, or suffering in the world around them. During, this stage of life it leads the individual to a coming of age moment, where they become aware of the troubled reality going on in the world. Thus far, this is shown as the young men go into the Vietnam War sheltered a |

The Choice to Attend CollegeIn the United States, higher education institutions, such as colleges and universities, have been around since colonial times ("Historical Facts"). Over the centuries, the number and types of colleges established has vastly grown. Every state across the country is home to several colleges, ranging from private and public institutions; religion affiliated colleges; technological schools; and two-year community colleges. While the variety of colleges has grown, so has the cost to attend college. According to a 2012 report on Bloomberg.org by Michelle Jamrisko and Ilan Kolet, "[t]he cost of obtaining a university education in the U.S. has soared 12 fold over the past three decades." Their report shows that college tuition has increased over 1,120 percent since 1978. Even though tuition has tremendously increased in the past decades, several high school graduates are or plan on attending some sort of post-secondary education institution. In fact, about 65.9 percent of |

Movie Summary - HerAll things change with time. Whether it's fashion styles, workout fads, or the hottest new diet plan, our way of living is constantly evolving at a speed faster than some of us are even able to keep up with! One of the factors of our ever-changing society that has made the biggest impact on our lives is technology, and more importantly the way we use them in our every day relationships. In "Her," a film by Spike Jonez, the main character, Theodore, finds himself in a tough situation when he falls in love with his new operating system (OS), Samantha. This film as well as the book Ways of Seeing, by John Berger, supports the idea that although change is inevitable with our ever-growing society, there are some things that were made old-fashioned to stay old-fashioned. Theodore, Samantha, and the relationship they share is a perfect example of the fact that technology may be moving a little to fast for our own good, and that if we let it get too out of hand it may lead to the loss |

Combating Human OverpopulationWorld Population Day is an annual event on July 11 to raise people's awareness on various population issues. It was instituted in 1989 as an outgrowth of the day of five billion, reported on July 11, 1987("World"). Over 20 years passed, the importance of the problem of human overpopulation has been and continues to be a matter of debate. According to news from National Geographic, a photographer, Russell Moore, presents a photo of the population and states that human population has never stopped increasing since 1987. There are over 7 billion human populations on the earth now ("World Population"). Some spectrum supporters urge that overpopulation is not actually a problem, while proponents on the other side of the spectrum assert that overpopulation is a major crisis and that humanity is poised on the edge of destruction unless people find ways to reduce population growth. Either viewpoint is extreme. In some places around the globe, overpopulation is indeed a serious concer |

The Theories of Emmy NoetherRenowned by her colleagues for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Emmy Noether, is often recognized as the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times.2 Although she was born during a grave time in the history of our world, she didn't let that get in the way of her research, it is said she even published groundbreaking papers under a mans name3. Born March 23, 1882, in Erlangen, Germany Emmy Noether had a very unexceptional childhood, going to school, learning domestic skills, and taking piano lessons. Living during the rise of the Nazi's, girls were not able to attend college preparatory schools, instead Emmy attended the Städtischen Höheren Töchterschule4, Girl's secondary school, studying arithmetic and languages.She soon passed the state examinations and became certified to teach foreign languages at female education institutes. Emmy instead decided to pursue her love of arithmetic as an audit student at the nearby university, Erl |

The Problem with LyingLying not only hurts the person we lie to, but it also hurts us in the end. A lot of people think that if they lie for a good reason, then it makes the lie acceptable. Here's what I want you to think about. Think about a young girl in the prime of her innocence at the age of six. She loves the world and sees the good that each person has within him or her. She doesn't know that not everyone has the same intentions or heart as her because she's young and naive; she's never been burned before. Now take this same girl and fast forward to the age of fifteen. Freshman year of high school, and everything feels like it's harmful to her future. What guy she dates, what clothes she wears, and what friends she hangs out with feels like it's the most important thing that the world has to offer. This fifteen-year-old girl falls for a boy on the football team, and you know the story. She's cheer captain, and he's starting quarterback. She fal |

The Dark Knight TrilogyIn 2005, Christopher Nolan created the Dark Knight Trilogy, which forever changed the way that superheroes are perceived on screen. Starting then, superheroes on screen would be grounded in reality and actually set precedents for Marvel to follow in their films. Many folks believed that this was the savior of not only the character Batman, but for DC films as a whole. In 2008, Marvel Studios released Iron Man, the first of many films that would create a connected universe between superheroes and their franchises. This universe would be known as the MCU or Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since, Marvel has been reigning in the success of their superhero movies with little competition from their main adversary, DC Comics, whose only successful superhero have been the Dark Knight films. With a plethora of failed superhero films under their belt such as Superman Returns, Green Lantern, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, it was a wonder if DC would ever be able to have as much cinematic suc |

Society and Media ViolenceIn a society that is conquered by television, movies, billboards, commercials, video games and the Internet, the influence media has on today's youth is substantial. Along with the convenient accessibility of technology, media violence is universal. Consequently, children nowadays are exposed to violent acts on a daily basis. "The average child who watches 2 hours of cartoons per day may see more than 10,000 violent acts a year" ("Violence and Aggression"). The early years of child growth is a critical time of brain development. Children are significantly influenced by what they see and hear in Television and other forms of media. In the news there is a growing amount of serious crimes committed by youths who are barely sixteen or seventeen years old. Hence, media violence harms youth by initiating children to act aggressively, glamorizing violence, and leading to desensitization. Children are more likely to imitate or act aggressively from violence they observe i |

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)Polycystic ovary syndrome is a female health problem that can affect the menstrual cycle, ability to have kids, cysts on ovaries, weight gain and other issues. I live with this every day. It makes life difficult knowing that most of my problems come from this. It all started on March 13, 2014 when I went in for a female exam. I did not think that my life would change just a few short days later. I received a phone call Miss. Kelley, we found abnormal cells on your cervix. You need to be further tested. Two weeks later I was at the OB-GYN learning that I have pre-cancer cells on my cervix, and getting a biopsy to see how just how bad it is. The doctor sent it out for testing, and a week later I was back in her office. We discussed what needs to be done to remove the cancer cells. |

Edgar Allan Poe and the Romantic PeriodThe romantic period in american literature had taken place in 1830 and lasted until 1865. This was a time of extreme growth and expansion in the United States that supported imagination and individualism in literature. When we think about stories that are titled 'romantic' we think about love stories and intimate romance novels, but that is not what they are talking about in the American Romantic Period. Edgar Allan Poe was an american poet considered a part of the American Romantic Movement that seemed to carry a message of gothic literature and romanticism in his works. His body of work, which included stories, tales, and poems, is filled with many different qualities and characteristics. Poe's example of romanticism was very similar to his life, but most of his works often focused on what was later called the gothic genre. The gothic genre focused on darkness, death, isolation and caution either in the behavior of one person toward another or within an individual's own selfhoo |

The Rush of Street RacingFor 19-year-old Jeff, weekends begin on a long strip of highway near Atlanta. rather than browsing the mall or going to the movies like others his age. Jeff joins a group of his comrades and spectators to witness a spectacular show of speed. As we pulled up to the meeting spot he looks over at me and says, "Welcome to the world of illegal street racing." "We have a cruising area where all the cars go and just chill. If someone wants to race," says Jeff, "they just ask...most of our races are with people you know pretty well...we don't have the major race nights like they have in other areas." The other areas Jeff refers to are about as common as can be and can probably be found on a straightaway near you.

Daffodils by William WordsworthNature has always been an unlimited source of inspiration for many poets. It would be an omission if William Wordsworth were not mentioned. To him, there is a mutual relationship between man and nature. He considered nature as a friend, a source of happiness or sometimes even a religion. This ideology and William Wordsworth's outstanding descriptive capability are to be shown clearly by analyzing the poem "Daffodils". William Wordsworth is arguably one of the greatest descriptive nature poets. Right at the beginning of the poem, the audiences are struck by the beautiful sight of the golden daffodils fluttering in the breeze. So brightly and effervescent were the scene that the author personalized the daffodils as dancers. But not only them had this favored treatment from the author, the waves sparkling under the sunshine were also humanized as dancers. However, the glee of the daffodils were overwhelmed and succeeded to blur away the waves' sparkles. More than that, the tho |

Advertisements and Audience TargetsWhat makes people want to buy products? Most products that people own are bought due to the advertisement of the product, that persuaded the viewer to purchase it. Advertisements are a big part of sales for products. Consumers buy the product because the advertisement influenced them to do so, but they might not necessarily need the product. There is various distinct types of advertisements that target different human needs in order to appeal to viewers. In order for companies to catch buyers' attention in ads, they make viewers believe they need the product by targeting the need of attention, need for affiliation, and need of sex. In an advertisement by Covergirl, the product Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss is being advertised. The ad is a picture of well-known singer and role model called Pink who is topless and wearing the product on her nails in the color "Leading Lady" which is a vibrant purple . Her face expression is very dominant and attention grabbing. |

Divorce in It's ComplicatedThe film "It's Complicated" was the best film to help us to understand the difficulties of being a divorced couple. While reading the chapter I had noticed that it said that normally the initiator of the divorce is the one to get remarried but the person who legally initiated the divorce was Jane. I believe that the initiator has to be taken in a non-normative way as in the person who made the divorce an option should be considered the initiator. Jake and Jane's divorce also shows the impact that a divorce has on the whole family and also the friendships that Jane had. The situation with Jane and Jake is very complicated because Jake in my opinion could be considered a serial cheater; I feel like Jake never learned how to be in a relationship because in both of his marriages he has cheated ironically he cheats on his first wife with his second wife and his second wife with his first wife. In my opinion the way to fix Jake and Jane re |
