Positive Outcomes of the Industrial RevolutionHave you ever wondered if all the history of industrialization having societal and social movements was true? The main attributes that make it such a big progress and event in history are the advance and increase in trade, the new job opportunities and simpler process of work, and advance in transportation. Trade was one of the biggest effects of industrialization. For instance, if the sugar trade hadn't happened the world wouldn't know the importance of trading supplies and the effects of global markets. The trade industry also showed the movement of the economy becoming more efficient and diverse. For one thing, when "sugar as sweetener came to the fore in connection with three other exotic imports [of] tea, coffee, and chocolate...[they] all began as competitors for British preference" (What drove the sugar trade, Doc F). This shows how something as widely valuable as sugar could be traded and now used in more popular items to push the market in Europe drastically up. The consumption rose, which in turn meant that more money was made. That drove prices up, then making sugar more known and developed. Soci |

1984 - Winston Smith as Misogynistic and ParanoidWinston Smith, the protagonist of the classic, 1984, is an exclusive individual with various traits and tendencies. Similar to the plot of the book, his mental presence and emotions have been constantly juggled, creating a character whose true identity is yet to be discovered. Winston's profound and attention seeking aspects include his misogynistic mind, it's a bright times, and his hyperactive awareness of his surroundings. Winston's opinion on the female masculinity has been evident from the beginning sectors of the book; he despises them. This is simply due to his belief that women tend to be the most enthusiastic Party members, portrayed in the it's a bright time. At first glance, Julia represents the average female population. She promotes the hatred of Emmanuel Goldstein during the Two Minutes Hate and supports chastity as the leader of Junior Anti-Sex League. This serves as the fuel to the evolution of Winston's misogynistic mind. The human brain is capable of constant evolu |

Stop And Frisk Laws and ProceduresIn 2011 the New York Police Department made 685,724 stops, which is six times more than conducted by police during Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first year in office. Of this massive number, an even more staggering 605,328 of those people were completely innocent (NYCLU). Stop-and-frisk has been a tool used by law enforcement officials for almost fifty years, but over the past thirty years there has been increased criticism over the number of stops, and more importantly the people statistically targeted for the stops - overwhelmingly African American and Hispanic males. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the New York Police Department have defended the method, however, claiming that it has helped get guns off the streets and decreased the number of homicides. Although it is police officers' duties to patrol the community and monitor suspicious activity in the congested city of New York, does the race of a potential "suspicious" person play a factor in the subsequent stop |

Non-Verbal Behavior with StrangersAs a transfer student, I am a stranger to many faces that walk amongst the campus of SUNY Geneseo. In the past week or so I have conducted observations of the persuasive technique of kinesics by means of eye contact and facial expressions. I have conducted these observations through my walks to campus from my apartment in The Meadows, and vice versa. This walk allows me to find an interpersonal experience with people I don't know, as they walk in the opposite direction of my path. While observing the persuasive power of kinesics, I have been able to learn and understand the impact kinesics carries in revealing a person's behavior or sense of himself or herself. According to Leathers, the face is "the most important source of nonverbal information" (Larson 288). I have conducted my observations with the help of Leathers, Orban, and Modigliani's theory of embarrassment. These scholars, with their own scholastic research and opinion, have allowed me to precisely conduct the disc |

Work and Telecommunication TechnologiesFrom the 20th century until present days, the main technology was information gathering, processing, and distribution. The world has seen many developments, such as the installment of telephone networks, the invention of radio and television, the birth and unprecedented growth of the computer industry, the launching of communication satellites, and, of course, the Internet. In addition, the telecommunications market is a large growing sector of economy in most of countries. It demands that companies establish and maintain a good customer relations process; the positive changes in this process have to be made in order to improve the working life of all employees. Although the telecommunications technologies made some negative effects on global climate such as global warming, it could be said that there are many positive changes in working life provided by telecommunications as well. There are a lot of telecommunications systems such as the internet, which are widely used in most of |

Ray Rice, Hester Prynne and ScandalMost of us can probably remember an incident when we have been either the perpetrator of the act of shunning or the recipient of being shunned. In the first instance, maybe you didn't want to see someone you know because you didn't have the time to deal with them. So you turn your face away and walk quickly by, hoping they didn't see you. You know perfectly well why you ignored the person, but they don't have a clue. On the contrary, if you have had a good relationship previously, let's say you notice someone you haven't seen in a while and want to say hello and catch up. You are sure they saw you. So you make a beeline toward them, but they do an about-face and walk in the opposite direction. You spend hours or days, maybe longer trying to figure out what you did to deserve being ignored, or worse being rejected. This really hurts when that other person is someone you thought liked you, accepted you, and maybe even ideally respected you. Shunning can be described as the act of social |

Songbook of My LifeHas there ever been that one song that makes you say "This is my jam?" When the song comes on and it makes you want to start dancing all of a sudden? Also, you have those songs where it changes your frown upside down. Those type songs to me are the best songs in the world and probably the most cherished ones. Each and every one of us has at least one song that makes us feel something right in our hearts. Music is very influential and powerful and shouldn't be played with lightly. I was a very happy and carefree child back in the day. I would repeat anything I hear and just go along with the flow. I liked music very much and to make things better, my dad was a DJ as well. Winter is my favorite season out of the year and Christmas is my favorite holiday. When I was little around the time of Christmas, usually in early December, my dad and I would start to put up the Christmas tree. As we put up the Christmas tree, we would also listen to some music. Back then, I had this CD by Kidz PoP, |

Working Together for a Common GoalMeaningful changes cannot happen if leadership does not provide the support to create a systematic, cohesive approach. Innovative approaches, too often, produce an extinguisher effect and try to combine a variety of innovations that relate to multiple visions. Since faculty and staff rarely work together to combine ideas and disseminate the best approach across different arenas, the separate efforts exert minimal effects. Because positive effects in new initiatives take a long time to flourish in higher education, administration needs to disseminate the trust to those leaders at the campus or department level who can lead the initiatives and ensure that they are sustained. Faculty find it difficult to obtain support to develop an initiative a priority that needs resources and staff support. Although faculty are encouraged to create new initiatives, they are expected to do it without financial resource all |

Valuable Artistic ContributionsArt is a part of everything in the world; anything created by someone has artistic value in it, and it all can be interpreted in different ways through different eyes. Every individual has his or her own connection with every piece of art, there is no specific interpretation. Each individual mind sees a piece of art in a completely different way to what someone else envisions through the same piece of art. Art also has meaning to society as a whole; art gives individuals the opportunity to express themselves and provides entertainment and inspiration to people. These positive attributes that are incorporated into people's lives through art helps people grow and provides different experiences, even shaping a part of who that person is overall. The creation process is one of the most important parts of art; it is where the inspiration and creative ideas flow into whatever is being made. The ups and downs to the creation process are the main contributions to what becomes the final product. In |

Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen MahIn the touching autobiography 'Chinese Cinderella' written by Adeline Yen Mah, one idea that was worth learning about in the text was resilience. Resilience is all about getting back up when you're knocked down, and through out her entire life, this is exactly what adeline does. Resilience helped me to understand Adelines strong, full hearted will to succeed, her loyalty to and devotion to the people she loves, and her bravery when her family manages to take away everything she loves. Examples of resilience in the novel are when she walks to school to remain loyal to Ye Ye, when her precious duckling is murdered by Jackie, and at the Sacred Heart boarding school where she manages to find a silver lining in a horrible situation. Adeline is mistreated her entire life, but one thing that shows throughout the book is her loyalty to Ye Ye. After Ye Ye spends all of his money on the children's tram fare so that they are able to go to school, they are forced to confront Niang. At first, she |

Symbolism In The Fault in Our StarsJohn Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars, makes reference to Esther Earl when showing the isolation of serious illness, "we have a habit of imagining the dying as fundamentally other from the well. We hold them up as heroes and imagine that they have reserves of strength forbidden to the rest of us. We tell ourselves that we will be inspired through the stories of their suffering – we will learn to be grateful for every day, or learn to be more empathetic, of whatever. These responses, while certainly well-intentioned, ultimately dehumanise the dying" So often, those with serious illnesses are isolated because of their conditions, as a society we place them on a pedestal as heroes to serve us as inspiration. In order to give those with serious illnesses back their humanity and to challenge our views towards them, Green uses symbolism in the form of cigarettes, a swing set and An Imperial Affliction to show how those with serious illnesses cannot be heroe |

The Advantages of Reading BooksWith the rising of technology in these recent years, it is vitally important for people to remember that reading books still play a significant role in daily life. Without having the proper knowledge which originally comes from reading books, the invention and innovation of technological gadgets that people are using today might not even exist. Books are the main foundation for people to learn about the world, the past, the present, and the possible future. As the saying goes, "Life without books is like a house without windows" (Mann). The benefits of reading books are enormous. Some books inspire, some books teach, and some deliver a person to an entirely different world. In other words, reading books is not only an eye-opening hobby in one sitting, but it is also a life-changing experience as it enhances the brain's connectivity, increases knowledge and vocabulary, improves a person's mental and emotional health, and his social life. In this day and age, people are often |

Stand by Me and EldoradoThe understanding of one's inner journey is demonstrated through the ideas of self-development. Journeys bring adversity into people's lives; however each individual's way of handling it is different and therefore makes them distinctive from the rest. One's physical journey is simply moving from one place to another but usually features a change in mentality or expression for the protagonist, hence making it a physical and inner journey. Journeys are usually about life and life's lessons as they are somewhat relatable which naturally classifies them as bildungsroman. Lao Tzu famously stated "A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving", meaning that journeys are challenging and a reward in themselves, even if you don't reach your destination. Stand by Me is a film by Rob Reiner and Eldorado is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe which extensively explores both inner and physical journeys and helps develop understanding regarding life's main concepts which the pro |

To Eat or Not to Eat"Eat your broccoli "is something that most kids hear while growing up. Parents try to encourage their kids into taking an interest in vegetables, but many kids refuse to. They don't comprehend the benefits that vegetables provide their bodies in order to maintain optimal health and beauty. Being healthy is one of the biggest concerns in the United States. Due to the fact that the obesity rates have kept rising over the years, which has led some people to question whether or not the united states will be able to put a stop to this matter. That is why the government has come up with new policies that enforce many new regulations related to the health of many Americans. They plan to decrease the obesity rates and improve the health of many people. These new policies have caused an effect in many places, especially at schools even though some of the laws are not necessary.

Homosexual and Heterosexual MalesHomosexual and Heterosexual males have been thought to be completely different in the eyes of society. Although they do have obvious differences there are many things that are similar between these men. One of the most obvious similarities is they are both "men." Now that we understand that, let's look at some of the other similar traits these men have in common. Both the homosexual male and the heterosexual male enjoy sports. It is a common myth that the homosexual man does not know anything about or would be interested in sports, but in light of recent events flooding the news rooms of this country regarding professional athletes "coming out" that myth should go away. Sporting events are not just for the heterosexual man. Here's one thing that all men like, both homosexual and heterosexual men enjoy sex. Sex is a common occurrence in human society. It helps reproduce the human race and it is also for widely used for pleasure. Although homosexual men cannot reproduce and sex is more c |

Context Essay - Achieving UtopiaAs humans we are constantly looking for ways to strive for a utopian society, but is such a concept even possible if every human being has a different perspective on what defines Utopia? Further, our human nature tends to defeats us in this quest as we are naturally competitive. It is this drive to be better than our fellow beings that divides us into socio-economic classes, which inevitably creates a dystopia. Despite this, could the dream for utopia be achieved? Unfortunately, one's utopia could be another's dystopia. Kim Jong Un, dictator of North Korea, routinely executes North Korean citizens who deviate from his brand of communism, in order to create the perfectly submissive country, which is his definition of a Utopian society. People are urged by a series of propaganda slogans to work for the state to maxmise their production in foods and for wives to be obedient supporters and assistants of their husbands in order to create a social fairyland. Other propaganda leads the general populace to believe that the US is the war-mongering enemy and North Korea would annihilate them if threatened. Workers are encouraged to sing th |

Apollonian and Dionysian Aspects to LiteraturePlaying with friends as a kid or playing a part in theater; everyone has their own role. In theater performed plays there is always a director behind the story. Great writers and philosophers such as Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche, Sophocles, and Shakespeare have paved the way for many imaginative play writers and authors to this day. There is something that drives every writer, something within them that creates their plays based on tragedies in their own lives or satirical writings to have people realize a social or political belief they might have. There's also comedic relief, which everyone should have at some point in their dramatic lives. Authors, of course, embellish a bit in their writing to enhance the experience for their audience. These great writers have a talent which we might not be able to achieve, but they do not have something that we cannot understand, the absurd. Playwrights use of the basic character, setting, theme, plot, narration, and style. In order to capture |

Justice and Truth in The CrucibleIn Arthur Miller' play, "The Crucible," characters John Proctor and John Hale exemplify the quote written by Friedrich Nietzsche, "Few serve truth in truth because only few have the pure will to be just, and of those again very few have the strength to be just." John Proctor, who immediately discovers the girls' accusations in the witch trials to be false, attempts to speak only the truth in his desire for justice to prevail. Similarly, Reverend Hale also comes to see that the girls have been deceiving the adults of Salem. Because of their desire to have justice in these times of corruption, Proctor and Hale have the strength to speak out against the school of thought of Salem. As soon as Proctor recognizes the truth behind the witch trials, he tries to shed light to the people around him. Abigail accuses his wife of stabbing her with a needle through a poppet. As strange as it seem, the court believes her because they believe she is the voice of heaven. Proctor, though he is |

The Role of a Novel - The Book ThiefA novel must engage the reader, or no-one would bother to finish it. To that extent, entertainment, which we might describe as a compelling storyline, is important. But novels do much more than merely entertain, because they provide insight into the human condition that helps us to comprehend the world we live in. They also: challenge our views; let us know we are not alone; and edify us, teaching a moral lesson. All these other, more important aspects, can be seen in Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. The most important role of a novel is to broaden our understanding of human nature. When a shipment of Jews are paraded through Molching on route to a concentration camp, the novel provides insight into our complex humanity. While some members of the watching crowd boo and cheer, Hans is unable to suppress his selfless instincts and steps forward to offer bread 'like magic' to a starving man 'with eyes the colour of agony.' The guard who cruelly beats both Hans and the Jewish m |

Branches and Financial InstitutionsIn the growing age of technology and the Internet, are brick and motor branches needed for credit unions to remain successful in the years to come? I would argue that branches are an essential part of the credit union world. While in the future institutions may not require as many physical branches as they currently have, there are still a number of reasons that eliminating them all together is not what consumers want or need. For credit unions these branches are even more important as credit unions are member owned, and if a member wants to seek assistance in person that is what needs to happen. Even a great majority of Generation Y consumers will not open an account with an institution that does not have a local branch. It cannot be denied that with so many technological advances that consumers enter branches less often than they once did. Sure, there are an unlimited number of things they can complete online, but that does not mean that consumers do not want to option of walking i |

Children and Alice and WonderlandThe connection between children and parents in the Alice books seems to be one that is a bit tense. Children look up to their parents who in return seem to never be there when they are needed. Parents are outdated in their children's lives to make them less dependent on authority figures and more dependent on what they know, assume is right and what correlates with the teachings they have been taught thus far in their lives. The Mad Hatter who portrays an adult figure, just as many of the other characters, he is immature and irrational. Everything that the mad hatter says can be examined and he is very much like an nosey child looking for answers and taking word exactly instead of symbolically. Alice is nosy, she knows her place in society, shows good habits. Alice maintains herself as an adult Victorian woman, even though she is only a child looking for understanding in the world. In contrast to many instances Alice continues to be the mature adult figure as everyone else around her involves in child like behavior. Everyth |

Aquinas and Machiavelli on the Qualities of a RulerAquinas and Machiavelli were in essence political philosophers who made a great impact on politics in their time, they also interpreted the characteristics that a ruler should possess in order to gain power and sustain the realm. Even though their perspectives were different both made a significant impact in the way politic was conceived in that time. This essay will first, specifies the history and compare Aquinas and Machiavelli viewpoints about the characteristics that a ruler should possess and second, it will show why Machiavelli's ideas are the most suitable in order to gain power and maintain a stable state. First, Thomas Aquinas was an Italian Dominican friar and Catholic priest who was influential philosopher and theologist. He reinterpreted Aristotle's philosophy into Christian framework, and made it the base of Christian church. Aquinas though that because human beings are created in the image and likeness of God and God is good; therefore, Human beings have the inclinatio |
