Bird Motifs in Shakespeare's MacbethBirds can be a sign of many things: nighttime, spring, morning, etc. But in William Shakespeare's Macbeth, birds are generally seen as a bad omen. From swallows to sparrows, birds are a common motif found throughout the whole play. Even in real life, they are often a bad omen., just as they are in Macbeth. Birds such as crows, vultures, and ravens are all signs of death. The birds of prey that hunt at night and the soaring raptors that can kill with one mighty swoop are much like the title character himself: powerful but mortal. Macbeth may have been able to control certain events, but in the end, he didn't see the signs. From the very beginning of Act I, birds find their way into the analogies and phrases of each character. In Act I, Scene V, Lady Macbeth is told of the King's eminent arrival with her husband and must immediately spring into action, saying "The raven itself is hoarse/That croaks the fat |

9/11 Research PaperSeptember 11, 2001 is a day that is imprinted in the memories of most Americans. These people remember it as a day that significantly changed America for years to come. Before the events on that morning almost 14 years ago, the word "terrorism" was rarely used and other words like al-Qaida, Taliban, and ground zero entered everyday language. Along with just words, this day also had significant effects on other things like Immigration, Air Travel, and Government. Being the largest loss of life on American soil since the Civil War, this day represents one of the most important days in modern US history. On the morning of the attacks, 19 al-Qaeda extremists hijacked four passenger jets. Two of these planes were destined for the North and South towers at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. The third plane would hit the west side of the Pentagon at 9:45 am, and the fourth (which many believe was supposed to hit the White House or Capitol building) ended up crashing into |

Paul and the Face of ChristianityPaul undeniably amended the face of Christianity as he bought about large changes in the early years of the Church, influenced the work of many others as Christianity developed and continues to have an ever-growing effect on faith today. As Neal Shusterman's quote implies, growth is continuos and has an ever-continuing effect, which is evident in Christianity, through Paul's work. Paul played a significant role in the foundation and growth of Christianity. Throughout his life, many events impacted the way the faith evolved and was practiced. Paul was an advocate for the inclusion of all among the followers of Christianity. He challenged the belief that non-Jews had to convert to Judaism and abide by the laws of Moses, including circumcision, at the Council of Jerusalem in 50CE. This was a turning point in the history of the Christianity as Paul's understanding of the gospel was adopted by the Church as her own. Paul proved that Jesus' ministry was about encompassing everyone, resulting in G |

Affordances: An Ecological Perspective"Affordance" refers to whatever it is in the environment that contributes to the kind of interaction that occurs. Gibson developed an interactionist view of perception which focuses on the thinker dynamically interacting with the world (Chemero A. , 2013). The concept of affordances is intertwined with ability in that the affordances which the environment offers are relative to the organism that perceives them. Gibson introduced a framework for studying perception, introducing the concept of distal objects, informational medium, proximal stimulation and perceptual object (Gibson, 1979). The reason we perceive is to recognise the affordances the environment is offering to us as humans. As adaptive organisms we only perceive what is necessary to survive. To carry out action based on affordances it is necessary to use an effector such as a hand to grasp an object. The affordances of the object are only limited by the ability of the perceiver. The size of the perceiver in relation to an |

Creating a Program to Prevent Childhood ObesityParents, pediatricians and policy makers are concerned about the rising rates of obesity and overweight children. Over the past 15 years, the number of obese children has doubled. This has led to the need to have programs to prevent childhood obesity. This leads to the question what is childhood obesity? Obesity can be defined as a Body Mass Index at or above the 95th percentile for children of the same sex and age. Overweight, on the other hand, can be referred to as a body mass index at or above the 85th percentile for children of the same sex and age. Body mass index is a measuring method used to determine childhood weight and obesity. The body mass index does not measure the child's fat directly, but it is used as a reasonable indicator of body fatness for most children and teens. Consequences of Childhood Obesity The problem of childhood obesity can be seen in terms of the short-term effects and the long term effects. According to Waters et al. (2010), the health risk for the obe |

The Treatment of Pregnant Female InmatesPrison can be a very cruel place to be, but what is inhumane can be the way how inmates are being treated. Even though it is justice to punish the ones who commit the crime but how far would we punish to consider it to be justice? The idea on how we should punish inmates can be a very hard question to answer. They are human as well but need to face the consequences but does it matter who the inmates are. The prison does not discriminate on who should be punish less or more because even pregnant women are being punish as hard as anyone else who is in the facility. This is becoming a big issue due to how cruel it can be for pregnant inmates in the facility. Correctional officers are not aware to be less aggressive to female inmates who are pregnant because they follow their rules and regulations on all inmates are treated equal no matter who they are. Female inmates who are pregnant are at risk from health issue to their baby's health in prison. Guards do not care but punish them the sam |

Sometimes, children can be at the same home with their abuser. Even though some child abuse cases are detected , most of them aren't reported and detected.

Management and Treatment of Celiac DiseaseAccording to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study of the Center for Disease Control, approximately 1 in 141 people have celiac disease in North America, and around 80% of people who could have the disease have yet to be diagnosed (Fasano & Catassi, 2001). There is currently no cure for this disease. The only known treatment is a strict diet that eliminates gluten. It is known that dietary proteins are degraded enzymatically into amino acids, and these digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. Upon entering the small intestine, polypeptides are further digested by pancreatic enzymes, such as Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carbozypeptidases A & B (Dennis, 2014). Unfortunately, in the stomach and small intestines of those with celiac disease, a problem occurs and they are unable to completely digest the gluten proteins that enter their digestive system. But, as the pathophysiology and biochemistry of celiac disease is becoming better understood, new methods of treatments, specifically orally active drugs, are being developed. |

Pip and Herbert in Great ExpectationsIn literature, characters often reflect and highlight aspects of their peers. This concept can be demonstrated by similarities and differences in their actions, speech, and ways of adapting to changes in their surroundings. This common occurrence exists in Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations. Pip and his flatmate Herbert's circumstances are similar, in that they are both gentlemen and have romantic interests, but their conduct in the face of these situations show their true nature as characters. Although Pip and Herbert are similar in many respects, the differences in the ways in which they deal with certain situations prove Herbert to be more morally developed than Pip. An example of the parallels between Pip and Herbert is that they are both gentlemen, whether by a benefactor, or by being born wealthy. However, the approaches each of these young men take to the accumulation of wealth and stature are very different. Pip, after playing at Miss Havisham's house, develops a superi |

Literature and the Concept of BelongingOne of the major themes explored in literature is the idea of belonging. It can either create a feeling of warmth and home or it can do the polar opposite and raise the idea of loneliness and the feeling of being outcast. Each idea of belonging helps to draw the audience in and create a type of relationship between the text and person. The idea of belonging doesn't just have to be an idea, anyone can belong if they truly try. Aspects of belonging can be seen throughout the poetry of Peter Skrzynecki, particularly in 'Feliks Skrzynecki' and 'Migrant Hostel' as well as 'The Breakfast Club' directed by John Hughes. Both Peter Skrzynecki and John Hughes demonstrate just how important the ideas and aspects of belonging are in literature and how they help bring the feeling alive. In Peter Skrzynecki poem 'Feliks Skrzynecki' the narrator tries to belong to a country he never knew and only belongs in the aspects which have been unknowingly passed down to him, by his bloodline and heritage. It also shows the sense of the father and son belonging to each other. On the surface he seems to fit |

TV - The Junk of American SocietyTelevision as medium of information and entertainment would always be a topic that leads to different points of view. For instance myself, deem that television is an untrusted medium of communication that change the way people think about history, religion, politics, commerce and education into forms of entertainment and that become as result of superficial people incapable of dealing with complexity and reality. Let us see, from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries America was considered to be founded by intellectuals, people with wide varieties of learning, rhetorical powers and people of deep faith to what the twentieth century brings us an age of media, where intelligence has been seen to diminish. Although television is a big platform of information around the world and many people found it useful at different social issues, I firmly believe that American television should give a proper use of information instead of impair human intelligence |

Shakespeare's Sonnet 20In "Sonnet 20," Shakespeare grapples with paradoxes, centering his poem on a man both masculine and feminine, powerful and powerless-the impossible object of a homosexual love that should not be. Through images of eyes and wealth veiled in double meanings, penned in the freeing and restricting form of a sonnet, we find that the subject's dual nature endows him with great power, yet the greatness of this power is what ultimately limits him. If eyes are the windows to the soul, then the subject's eyes reflect a woman's heart, though brimming with aberrant power. Although a man, the poem's subject possesses feminine charms superior to a woman, with "An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling" (5). For one's eyes to be "bright" suggests one is free-spirited, lively and jubilant, unhindered by pain or hatred that might cloud the eyes. However, the word also connotes a quality of fairness and delicacy more often used to described women. Furthermore, |

The National Indigenous Television Channel (Australia)When first given the assignment to do a personal reflection on NITV, I first asked, what is NITV? Until that day, I had never heard of a channel that was specifically based only on the aboriginal culture. This was all a new experience to me therefore, it made me realise the restricted access to such programs as a non-indigenous Australian. This is something I was completely disappointed and saddened by as I would have expected this to be a public awareness as this channel plays a huge importance on the aboriginal culture as it depicts their lifestyle, challenges and culture especially institutionalized discrimination when it comes to law and order. Watching the Wednesday NITV National News report, which is said to "feature the rich diversity of contemporary life within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, broadening and redefining the landscape", I was absolutely appalled by the police brutality upon a young aboriginal girl.

Waves, Power and Death in the Works of TennysonThough from the first mention of Lancelot and Guinevere's affair in Alfred Lord Tennyson's The Idylls of the King King Arthur's court is sown with seeds of budding darkness, the fall of the court begins in earnest through the catalyst of the deceitful and manipulative Vivien who, though she but briefly appears in the chronicle, irrevocably alters it. Tennyson uses imagery of the sea, specifically the image of a crashing wave, to represent an inevitable destructive force that will wash the kingdom from its place on earth, a symbol of power and death. This force and its devastating power is embodied in the character of Vivien via Merlin's prophecy of his own downfall, while its use in "Merlin and Vivien" in connection with death heavily foreshadows Arthur's last battle in "The Passing of Arthur". The deep tragedy of "Merlin and Vivien" is that Merlin foresaw Vivien's betrayal in a vision that connects Vivien to the image of a crashing, ruinous wave. As Merl |

The Fenians - Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?The Fenians were an Irish nationalist organization founded in the US that encouraged revolutionary activity to overthrow British rule in Ireland. To do that they basically caused trouble for the British, hence burning down colonies, and doing basically all the things that they could possibly do to regain their freedom, and seek revenge for all the trouble that they had caused them. Although there were many acts of violence, illegal acts, rebellions, deaths of innocent civilians and invasions on British colonies. What they were doing was for the betterment of Ireland in the long term. Anyone in place of the Fenians might also do the same thing to obtain freedom. Freedom Fighters fight for the freedom of their country, the events leading up to freedom may be devastating or tragic, but the sweet scent of freedom overcomes it all. During the times of the Fenians, there were many acts of violence; on of the most harsh one was the assassination of Thomas d'Arcy McGee. He was a poet and a politician, and at the time he was harsh critic of the Fenians brotherhood. Most Irish people were in favor of th |

Business and Ethics EvaluationIn my line of work it is common for contractors to underbid a job purposefully in order to win the bid. The customer unknowingly chooses this contractor because they are cheaper priced. Then later in the project, the contractor will start changing their pricing because they can't do the job for the bid that was given. Most of the time this ends up costing the customer more than if they had chosen the honest bidder in the beginning. Often, it also leads to an incomplete job for the customer and causes them to either pay the extra charges or find another contractor to complete the job. I have experienced this several times in my field. One example of this would be a home that we were building. We had completed the house to the point where it was time to start the inside finishing touches such as cabinets, molding and trim work when another contractor from another field who knew our customer told them they could complete the project for a cheaper price. After this, the customer decided to |

Reasons to Legalize MarijuanaWhether or not to legalize marijuana has been one of the most debatable issues among many state's governments and citizens. In fact, the conflict over legalization of marijuana has become a war among American, who have different points of view about advantages and disadvantages of marijuana. Marijuana is also known as cannabis, a product of the hemp plant, which is a mixture of green or brown dried seeds, shredded leaves and flowers with a strong smell. On one hand, marijuana has been proven as a potential medicine in pharmacy, and legalizing marijuana would help the government and the society get better due to more funding from increasing taxes. On the other hand, people believe that marijuana should be banned because it makes people addicted and may lead people to mental and physical health problems. Nowadays, marijuana is the third most popular drug in America with nearly 100 million consumers despite the prohibition of marijuana at some states. According to "State Marijuana L |

Subjection of Apartheid in South Africa"In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights."(Desmond Tutu) Imagine living in a world where people are treated horrendously just because of their skin color. Apartheid in South Africa began in 1948 and was a system of racial segregation that separated whites from blacks, which began when the Afrikaner National Party took control of South Africa. There had been pre-existing division between white and nonwhite Africans in South Africa for many years before Apartheid began. Since there was division between races, it led to political corruption and economic misery. These concepts were major issues in South Africa that depicted numerous conflicts between both sides. Due to economic misery, several acts were passed to separate whites from nonwhites, and Apartheid had become the law. After many decades, Apartheid en |
