My Family VacationMy family always had a problem of choosing where to go for vacation on breaks. We tended to choose places at the last minute; it had become a culture in our family to plan in such a way. It was definitely not a ski resort, after I had a skiing accident the year before. Then my father gave out an idea out of the blue that puzzled me completely: Death Valley. Why go to a place filled with unbearable land and no life? I did not understand why my dad would bring up such an idea for a vacation. Since there was no rebuttal against the proposition, we packed up for a three-day trip to the south and headed off. We drove along I-5, noticing all the farmlands and flat unattended fields. I still never was able to wrap my head around the idea of visiting a desert. Amazingly, we got to |

Research Paper - Same Sex MarriageOne of the most influential poets in twentieth century, Dr. Seuss, said "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."[1] As teenage homosexuals become adults and face the grown ups' world, they will meet someone who is extremely conservative opponents of same-sex marriage, without a doubt. These hardships often are not recognized by majority of the people and should be understood and recognized whether it is legally or religiously. These challenges cannot often be confronted without taking legal action and/or converting conservative people's ways of thinking. Therefore, homosexual people's only way of getting over with the issue is through organizations of same-sex marriage proponents such as, PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), and support from their family. Furthermore, in some cases, the hardships are emotional ones which can only be overcome by understanding and acceptance of people. These ca |

Telemachus' Maturation in OdysseyOne of the central themes in Homer's epic, Odyssey, is Telemachus' coming of age. In the beginning, although he is in his early twenties, Telemachus acts as though he is a child. He weeps over trivial matters and does not have the ability to think on his own. As the story progresses, Telemachus' maturity develops considerably. He becomes an independent thinker and no longer seeks the approval of those around him in order to support his ideas. Telemachus' development of these new abilities demonstrates that during the course of Odyssey he matured into an adult who may think and act out of his own accord. In the first book of Odyssey, Telemachus is displayed as an immature coward. He is offended by the suitors' invasion of his home and by their breakage of the hospitality r |

Inequality in The Hunger GamesIn the film The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross an important idea is inequality. In this essay I will explain that inequality in The Hunger Games is relevant to people in today's society because just like in The Hunger Games many people do not have enough to eat, The Capitol has rich and greedy people just like wealthy countries today, and that inequality can make people break the law in order to survive. The idea that I will be describing is inequality. It is relevant to people today because this kind of inequality is happening right now all over the world. In The Hunger Games the rich Capitol controls twelve districts, all of which produce something and send nearly all of it to the Capitol. The Capitol keeps most of the resources for itself but sends just enough food and other resources to the districts to keep them going. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the poorest district.

Television and ViolenceOpen your eyes people it's everywhere! Violence is on the up rise, or is it declining by the hour? Has watching violence on TV made you act out in anger or made you think of killing someone in any way possible? Violence is in our everyday lives, we see it without even trying to or wanting to. It's all around us in many shapes and sizes. I personally think that violence is good to a certain extent on TV and in movies and it being regulated by the government is perfectly fine the way is it now. If government regulations increased monitoring its shows and movies things such as war, gun violence, fighting would have a positive impact. Another reason being many people tune into the radio or TV for their daily news so that to would have some sort of affect. Moreover, some TV shows are about fighting, war, crimes and there are many things one can take from the actions portrayed. The violence on TV is there to be watched or not to be watched, it is your personal choice to watch the violence displayed on TV shows and or movies.

The Economics of DatingBeing in a relationship with someone can result in two scenarios: complete joy or a difficult struggle. Yes, popular belief has convinced us that "the best things in life are free". But are they? Of course, we don't have to pay to enjoy a beautiful sunset at the beach, and as it is said, money cannot buy love. But as we analyze situations in an economic way, we realize that the best things in life are not entirely free. Economists use money to measure the cost and benefits of things or actions. But there are different costs for "free" things. Every decision we make in our lives has an opportunity cost, and being aware of that cost is just as important as knowing the benefits of our options. The opportunity cost of something is everything that we must give up in order to get what we want. For example, if I decide to buy a pair of shoes for $100, the opportunity cost of the pair of shoes is the second best alternative product or action that I could have performed usi |

Component of Oral LanguageOral language is the foundation for all other forms of literacy and communication. If a child does not have a comprehensive understanding of the spoken word it will be very difficult for them to communicate on even a basic level (Hill, 2006). One of the main ideas explored by Fellowes and Oakley (2013) is that there is four key components of language; phonological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. The key concept drawn from this is that a child will only be able to successfully communicate once they have the ability to effectively combine all four components simultaneously. Phonology forms the basis of oral language and refers to the way sounds of language operate. (Hill, 2006) There are three main factors that comprise the phonological component of language including phonemes which are the individual sounds used to form words. Every language has a different set of phonemes, in the English language it is suggested that there is between 40 and 46 different phonemes in comparison Polyn |

Vision Development in ChildrenThe development of vision in infancy, including acuity, colour perception, depth perception, face perception, and object perception, is essential to our learning and development. Reflect on how the child's experiences in moving and exploring independently and manipulating materials contribute to the child's visual development. The world is a primarily visual environment, nearly every task a person performs each day requires the use of vision. Over time a person must learn to recognise space, size, texture, depth, emotions and all the other links to life that allow them to fully interact with their surroundings. But how does a child's early interactions with their environment effect their vision development and how is this linked to their physical development? Recent advancements into neuroscience suggests that vision and physical development are not two independent processes rather each has a cause and effect on the other. (Reference) At birth vision is an infant's least developed se |

The Chinese Cultural RevolutionSTUDIES OF CHANGE: The Chinese Cultural Revolution The Cultural Revolution in China was the result of years of discontent among China's people at their outdated government and society, but what were the efficacious, particular motives and conditions for cultural revolutionary Mao Tse-Tung to bring about such major reforms? China; Asia's leading economic power and its most populous country, is a highly diverse and complex country with an equally diverse and complex history. The struggle to lead China has caused the country to undergo mass socio-economic changes on more than one occasion, from the fall of imperialism in 1911 to the rise of the Nationalists and Communists. Although Chinese leaders may have had different methods and motives for establishing new political and economic systems, they all sought to shake off the hold European powers had on their ancient civilisation. At the foreground of this struggle during the twentieth century, was revolutionary Mao Tse-Tung who, from th |

You are constantly in pain, fatigue, and also you are suffering from the side effects of drugs. The doctors and nurses check on you throughout the day to see if you have died yet. They tell you that you have a zero chance of survival and it's just matter of time. You've come to terms with your death already but if you had the ability to choose how your life ended, wouldn't you use it?

Character and Setting in Jekyll and HydeThroughout the novel, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Stevenson explores the idea of duality through both the characters and the setting of the novel. Specifically he explores the idea of duality within a person's personality, not only in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde but also Lanyon and Utterson. The use of Stevenson's descriptive language of the 19th century urban London, also demonstrates the idea of duality all around us. Primarily, Stevenson's examination of duality is shown through what appears to be the two characters of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It is demonstrated throughout the novel as the audience learns that these two distinct and apparently opposite personalities are in fact one person. Throughout Stevenson's novella, there are many descriptions of Mr Hyde which give an impression as to what he is like. Hyde is described as 'pale an |

Transitions in Billy ElliotTransitions can be a difficult process with many obstacles to overcome, but ultimately the result is worth it. Transitions have obstacles in differing the individuals journey in being able to transition effectively which allows them to see themselves and the world around them in a new perspective. Billy Elliot, a film directed by Stephen Daldry was released in 2000 in an attempt to portray a powerful message involving many contexts. This struggle is also seen within the article 'From headscarves to helmets' written by Petrovich featuring the achievements of changing the Afghanistan societal gender normalities, and this reinforced by the play "Bitin Back" written by Vivienne Cleven challenging stereotypical views. Both texts convey the same message their environment being a barrier in being able to transcend effectively. Transitions are filled with obstacles that the individual is forced to overcome to be able to transition effectively. Throughout this film Billy the p |

The Shoe-Horn Sonata and Mankind is No IslandThe way that we perceive the world is constantly being challenged and altered because of our subjective views of the texts that we read, particularly through distinctively visual techniques. John Misto's play 'The Shoe-Horn Sonata' (1996) and Jason Van Genderen's short film 'Mankind Is No Island' (2008) explores distinct visuals of survival, injustice, triumph of spirit and significance of history. Misto provides distinct visuals of the acts of injustice committed against vulnerable groups as a constant reminder to the audience of their inflicted pain and suffering. The projected image of Australian and British female prisoners dressed in rags from camp-style beds in Act 1, Scene 6, portrays their filthy environment during their imprisonment. This scene is reinforced by dim lighting on the empty set to create a foreboding atmosphere and draw attention to Bridie as she enters the set to promote engagement with the audience. Furthermore, this is enhanced by the deafening sou |
