To Sleep Per, Chance To DreamTo Sleep Perchance, To Dream: Shakespeare's Use Of Dream and Sleep Motifs To Create The Gothic Reality Although Shakespeare's contribution to the Gothic novel was acknowledged by Horace Walpole in the preface to the Second Edition of "The Castle of Otranto," "shelter[ing] my own daring under the cannon of the brightest genius in the country" (Walpole 13), the extent to which the Gothic sensibility informs so many of Shakespeare's plays has only recently been conceded by many mainstream scholars. This is hardly surprising considering Gothic fiction's entrance onto the literary stage in mid eighteenth century England, which was dominated by the Reformation and poised to embrace the Romantic movement. However, Jerrold Hogle points out in his essay "Afterward: The 'grounds' of the Shakespeare-Gothic relationship" found in "Gothic Shakespeare's," "We do not realize how thoroughly pre-Gothic Shakespeare is, in other words, until we look back |

America and PropagandaPropaganda among other sorts of techniques are used in three ostensibly opposed forms of governance to achieve similar goals. Bernays equated what propaganda is to a democratic society to what force is to a dictatorship. Wolfgang Schivelbusch's Three New Deals and John Garraty's New Deal, National Socialism, and The Great Depression discusses America under president Franklin D. Roosevelt, fascist Germany under Adolf Hitler, and Italy under Benito Mussolini. Schivelbusch examines the rise of three separate political systems, all with different goals, that have some unexpected yet undeniable similarities. He correlates the political and social reactions of the three regimes to the economic crisis of the 1930s. And compares the manner in which these leaders used grand public works, propaganda, and the style of leadership they employed. Garraty argues that Nazi and New Deal anti depression policies bear striking similarities, and because the systems were perceived to be so fundamentally di |

Natural and Performance Enhanced TrainingThere comes a point in time when every serious athlete, bodybuilder, or weightlifter reaches a plateau in which that individual feels that they can no longer continue to improve. When that time comes, that individual's impatience may lead to desperation for a source of improvement. Many athletes (especially teenagers) are pushed by not only themselves but dedicated parents and coaches asking them to be one second faster or one pound lighter. Sometimes the only way these individuals find fast improvement in their sport or physique is through the use of anabolic androgenic steroids. The use of these drugs is known to increase strength and muscle mass, but with these improvements come many negative and potentially life threatening issues. Is the use and benefits of anabolic androgenic steroids worth the risk? No they are not. The use of anabolic steroids can create issues in many aspects of life. Some of these issues pertain to: psychological function, legality, and physical changes. Trai |

It is a disease of the skeletal system that decreases the bone mass and structural deterioration of the bone tissue.

This disease can be extremely painful and the risk factors that are included are aging, being a female, having a low body weight, having low sex hormones or menopause, smoking, and some medications (WebMd, 2005). Usually, one does not know they have this disease until they fracture a bone but sometimes, an individual can figure out they have it by seeing if they have any of possible symptoms which usually are backaches. The most common places where people get fractured and find out that they have osteoporosis are in the wris |

Essay on the Spread of Islamic CivilizationThe world we inhabit in is shifting around. The individual is no longer the most important unit of society. Society as a whole, are being turned into a collective, in no small part due to the startling disregard for privacy today. Technology is changing, allowing companies and other interests, big and small, to track consumers' location and mine information, all without their consent. There should be a limit to what these entities can gather upon others. The invasion of consumers' lives is simply not worth the apparent benefits. Cell phones today are a huge source of information for companies seeking to market to consumers. Not only can companies purchase information about an individual's appearance and interests, but the locations that specific individual visits as well. Text I, lines 4, 9-10 states, "They know you drove by Domino's Pizza. Details about your habits, your age and gender are compiled and can be sold to third parties.

Magic and the Art of LevitationMagicians have mastered the art of levitation, or that is what they want to portray. To demonstrate this illusion, an assistant is laid across an ordinary wooden board, supported by removable chairs or beams. Then, the allusion begins. From this point, it seems as if the assistant is floating on the board in thin air, all the while the magician is waving his hands over his or her body to show that there are no wires hidden to support the board. Wrapped in a material very similar to the magician's own pant leg, a support rod is hidden to hold the board up and keep I steady. By using this method, the audience can only see the "legs" of the magician, having the real leg hidden behind the false support. In other attempts to show magical levitation, clear wires are used to hold up the magician. Though very similar in theory, levitation has been a very mysterious topic for scientists and civilians alike. Engineers and scientists have worked on levitating objects for many years. T |

Policing and the MediaThe media can have such a great effect on policing in today's society. As like everything else the media can influence anything. Both positively and negatively. Society sees both sides from the media reflecting how they view police in their own communities. In our communities we also see police getting shot or often finding themselves in a bad situation. The police are here to protect us and to serve the communities to the best of their abilities. The Negative images we see and hear are police that are corruptor brutally beating harmless suspects. The positive images would be that they have saved an innocent life in a hostage situation. The media portrays the police in many different ways. We need to realize that the police are on our side and that they are human just like everyone else The television shows that we see on television today are both helpful and harmful to the profession. For example, "Cops" is based on real life situations and we actually see what they go through on a |

Establishing a Ban on CigarettesAbstract Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Today most are more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking should be banned or restricted in almost all public places because it has been shown to be dangerous to health, it can reduced health care costs, it will save lives if banned, it would reduce smoking during pregnancy and keep young adults from wanting to try it. Point of View Smoking should be banned because it causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and pregnancy complications. Every year 350,000 people die from tobacco related illnesses (Boddewyn., J.J, 1986). Smoking is directly responsible for more than 85% of all deaths from lung cancer. Cigarettes are lethal and addictive. According to the general surgeon, the nic |

The 2014 Ebola EpidemicThe most fatal assassins on this earth are too small to see with the bare eye. These microscopic predators are called viruses. Viruses vary and are found in virtually all parts of the earth. Viruses infect nearly every form of life ranging from unicellular organisms to human beings. First, it is important to know what exactly a virus is. A virus is a small pod made of lipid membranes surrounding certain proteins. This little capsule holds usually one or two strands of either RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) or DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). DNA and RNA are lengthy molecules, which have genetic codes or information. This is a distinguishing feature of viruses in relation to the host, which has both DNA and RNA. The virus has only one obligation - to duplicate. The Ebola virus is a member of the negative stranded RNA viruses known as filoviruses. It is a fast multiplier and is deadly. Since the 2014 outbreak, questions and concerns have been raised about general information of the Ebola virus: " |

Jane Eyre as a Proto-Feminist NovelJane Eyre's boldness, juxtaposed with the suppressed presentation of the female experience in Victorian era society - one in which a woman was to be a submissive, domestic housewife under a male dominance - embodies the frequently silenced voice of feminism. Jane's continued subversion of the male dominance paints her as an early proto-feminist heroine. In its time and place of publication, 19th century Victorian London, England, Bronte's novel of female heroism and defiance of social hierarchy was a glimpse of what was to become a controversial and hugely influential movement. It shone a light on the hidden scars and injustices endured by Bronte and many other women during this time. Jane Eyre, as an orphaned young woman, faced many trials with absolute resolution. Growing up with her cruel Aunt Reed, she is sent to Lowood, a bitter charity school run by the ruthless Mr. Brocklehurst. She laments, "Human beings must love something, and, in the dearth of worthier objects of affec |

The Stages of HinduismHinduism is a religion that originated in India, and is still practiced by most of its inhabitants. It is stated that Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world and is confirmed as the official religion of the country. Hinduism is also practiced in other parts of the world including parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, the East Indies and England. Hinduism is not just a religion but a way of life. The religion has created a set of rules for good living on this earth. The Hindus define their community as those who believe in the Vedas or those who follow the way of the four stages of life. While reading about the religion Hinduism what really caught my attention was their four stages of life. When I think about the stages of life the first thing that comes to mind is infant, toddler, child, teenager, young adult, adult, elderly. But in the Hindu life stages there are |

Nisei Daughter by Monica StoneThe story of Monica Sone (or Kazuko as called by her parents), a Japanese girl who grew up in Seattle during the 1920s and 1930s, showed the readers another side of the life of immigrants in the United States. Her story reflected the gap between the Issei and Nisei – first and second generation, and the difficulties of being a Japanese American during this time period. In addition, the Japanese relocation to Idaho after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 1941 presented one family's strength when facing adversity, and the willingness to sacrifice for the country they love. The first thing to notice about Monica's story is the distinct gap between two generations. Nisei are torn between consenting to their Japanese ancestry and following their American lifestyles. Their Issei parents, who had not completely accustomed to the English language or the American customs, usually needed to address their Nisei children for cultural or linguistic interpretation. For example, even though Monica wanted to learn ballet, her father viewed it as a vulgar and shameful act that only those from lower |

Finding God in PovertyWe had arrived at our destination and our missionaries, Nicky and Janie, had pointed out our hotel, which was on the left hand side of the van. However, we did not stop. Instead, we went to the site where we would be working for the next four days. We pulled into a small town right outside of Ciudad Delicias. The town we had arrived at housed possibly a hundred people. It was breathtaking! Seeing poverty right before my own eyes. There were no roads, the houses were smaller than an average classroom, and children walked in the streets without shoes. The thing that caught my eye the most was the little kids, probably ten years old, smoking cigarettes. After we drove through the town and stopped to take a look at the church that we would be finishing, we all piled back into the vans and went to the pastor's house for his daughter's third birthday. It was similar to a huge block party. Kids were everywhere, bounce houses, loud music, and a piñata. I spotted a girl who stood out to m |

Document Based Question Essay - FeudalismThroughout time our world has endured many changes. With great turmoil during the 11th and 12th century, there was change at every corner. For Japan and Europe, it was a time of death, war, and destruction, this time was known as the Dark Ages or Middle Ages. After the fall of Rome, and the weakening of Japanese imperial court; both medieval societies were in pieces. With this, feudal systems emerged. In both systems, knights and samurai made up the warrior class. Were the similarities between the European knights and Japanese samurai greater than their differences? They were more similar than different in three main aspects: social position, training and armor, and honor and death. The social position of both samurais and knights was one area with defined similarities. Japan and Europe alike, both had social orders that had to be followed according to class. Being warriors, they fall into the middle class on both forms of the social pyramid(Doc A). Loyal to those who provided land |

Discrimination and Racial ProfilingTo discriminate against a race in which their ancestors may have been apart of a negative action in the past is wrong; racial profiling can be used as a tool to limit crimes. Racial profiling played a role in our history to solve a situation. Profiling may help prevent another terrorist disaster from occurring. Racial dividers aid in depicting a criminal amongst hundreds of people. While our goal is a healthy nation in which the people and government can live coherently, we still must think of our safety. "Back in 1954 the US INS put in practice the Operation Wetback, which was intended to remove one million illegal immigrants from southwestern USA through the use of racial profiling, ending up removing near the million illegal immigrants targeted" (The Police Should Use Racial Profiling To Tackle The Problems Of Illegal Immigration). This quote explains how profiling helpe |

Today's Hybrid TechnologyMany hybrids vehicles have been made over the years but neither of them have the potential to go that extra mile or even shock and awe someone until now. Ever since the Dawn of the Hybrid Car began automakers were more worried and obsessed with make their cars look like they came straight out of Back to the Future. None of them ever paid the slightest attention to the reliability of the cars hybrid system, or how far the car will even go but all of that has changed. Hybrid cars were thought of to take a step forwards into the future of motoring and engineering, they were created to help save our beloved planet, but their old technology was cheaply made and imperfect until today where hybrids are more dependable, and more advanced Honda has shown us that the hybrid car has become reliable. According to a release the two-motor hybrid systems generate fuel efficiency without compromising the performance of the cars. Honda is able to take their hybrid technology and be able to put that s |

UK Education Policies and Achievement GapsEducational inequality is a reflection of wider social inequalities. Policies to reduce inequality are directly affected by the ideology of the ruling party of the time. Throughout this essay, we will discuss the dominant ideology of modern day Britain to highlight the fact that, despite rhetoric used by consecutive neoliberal governments, reducing the education gap is not prevalent within current UK education policy. Providing the general standard of education continues to improve as a whole, inequalities in education are not a priority. To begin with, let us break down the title into its most basic interpretation which is 'what measures have our government taken to reduce inequality and improve social mobility through the medium of an education system based on equality?' Throughout this essay we will explain; why education is so important to the individual and to wider society; what the achievement gap is and its implications; how closing the achievement gap is contradictory |

Public Trust and Ethical Issues in Law EnforcementThe video "Public Trust and Ethical Issues in Law Enforcement" mainly talked about the publics lack of trust in the police/criminal justice system, and also touched base on what the police are doing to try to improve that. I think that the main reason the public has so many trust issues in the police is because they think the police have all the power and can get away with anything. When in reality the police have many limitations in the way they carry out the law. As stated in the YouTube video law enforcement has certain protocols that they must follow when it comes to budget, training, and use of force. Higher hierchy's on the police force have to send in annual reports of all of their financial information: loans, stocks, income, properties, etc. They even have to report the financial information of anyone who lives in the same household. They make these reports of their finances and those of the police station so that their superiors can review them and make ensure that budget is being used appropriately. There has also been an increase in training. They are targeting for officers to be able to |

Federal Government and State PoliciesIn these modern times, Washington needs to have greater power to dictate policy because the federal government is responsible for speaking and acting on the behalf of the entire country when it comes to its relationship with all other foreign governments. The federal government has the ability to work as a self-sufficient political community. The constitution and the people have given Washington the control to take control over all policies and laws that affect every person in this country and it allows them standardize these policies all the down to the local level of government. States know that they are unable to make policies that without the federal governments' consent, but they should be able to make decisions when it comes to education and health that may affect the citizens within their state and local governments. The states and the federal government are considered supreme in their own sphere of power, although there is considerable overlap (Cropf, 2008, p. 106). State |

Criminals and the Death PenaltyAn issue that has been constantly a problem to our society is to whether use the death penalty to deal with criminals. Whenever the death penalty is applied to a criminal, a colossal debate arises between the two social groups that support and disagree with such punishment. In these recent years, crime has become part of our society and many people are conscious that something fast should be done. Also, now many people live with constant fear of getting robed, or even killed while walking on the street, but the question here, that you might ask, is what method and actions should the government take to decrease crime? Many people said that the death penalty is an acceptable and effective way to eradicate crime. Today, the death penalty has been one of the best deterrents for crime in the United States; however, the main point of the death penalty is not to deterrent crime but to punish those that have committed outrageous crimes. Since ancient times the death penalty has been the ulti |
