Duality of Humanity in MacbethLike a quarter, every human has two sides. It is the inherent duality of humanity. Shakespeare has the impeccable ability to show how one reconciles with this in his writings,one work being his play macbeth. In this story Macbeth, the heroic protagonist, had just won two battles against the rebel army as well as the Norwegian army. On hearing this, King Duncan decided to reward Macbeth with the title of Thane of Cawdor as well a visit to his castle. On their way home, Macbeth and his friend Banquo meet 3 witches. The witches prophecy that Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor and future king of Scotland. They they also tell Banquo that he will be the father of a long line of kings.

He immediately sends word to his wife, Lady Macbeth, who driven by her own ambition convinces her hus |

Two Areas of LanguageWebster's Dictionary defines "language" as "a method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way." However, language does more than communication. Since we have been educated, language has been an important media of our learning, so it determines what we can know. Here comes to my knowledge question, 'to what extent does obtaining knowledge depend on language, especially in the area of human science and art? Psychology uses language to understand human behavior. Cognitive psychology is a branch of psychology, which studies mental processes including how people think, perceive, remember and learn skills. How people behave is depend on how they think and how they use language. So how does language affect people's behavior? In our real life, we always talk to ourselves, the psychologists call these inner voices: 'self-talk', it includes our conscious thoughts as well as our unconscious assumptions and b |

Forbidden Love in The Great Gatsby"The Great Gatsby" is a novel written at the period before gay rights. At this time, homosexuality was regarded illegal and was a concept that was condemned socialy. It is the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, an eloquent novel filled with messages meant to spark romance. Jay Gatsby is a self-made millionaire who is in a desperate sought of the only love Daisy who is married to Tom. The other premise that is rather obvious but tricky to argue is that Nick could be gay. What can be easily seen through the first pages of the book is that Nick Carraway was born in 1896, just about the same age as Fitzgerald. Furthermore, he attended Yale just like his father and was involved in the First World War. However, closely reading one discovers that there is something unusual about this character as well as concerning his family. The profile portrays him as a gay young man having hailed from a famous Middle Western family. The 1920s period was culminated with prohibition and lack of moral |

The Walk Of Endless OpportunitiesIt was a beautiful Sunday in June, not quite yet summer because it was still considered spring at the time. The weather was absolutely perfect because it wasn't too hot or too cold and you could feel the nice summer breeze slowly blowing in just a few weeks earlier. It all commenced when the musicians began playing and everyone rose to their feet. The crowd, who consisted of proud family and friends, turned around to watch the train of girls in elegant, white, floor-length gowns. This was not some type of polygamist wedding, it was a day I had been longing for, my high school graduation. It became a tradition to wear a long, white dress instead of the customary cap and gown when the school was first established back in 1961. As I began to walk down the aisle accompanied by one of my classmates, I could feel the beat of my heart pounding in every part of my body. I still could not believe that this day had come so fast. It seemed like just yesterday I was trying to find where al |

Legalizing Steroids for Sport and RecreationThere is a situation in society that continues to concern me and needs to be seriously be addressed. To me, the problem is that steroids are Illegal to use in sports and for recreation. Anabolic steroids have been a part of sports since their creation in the 1940's. How can something that has actual medical use be banned from a sports association. If you compare the health risks smoking cigarettes is multiple times worse, yet is still allowable by the Olympic committee, but not many people take part in it because they know of the health risks. Yet many people on the other hand use cutting edge technology to use anabolic steroids which have been proven to have legitimate health benefits and minimal side effects when used properly under the supervision of a doctor. Why, if the committee is trying to look out for the safety of athletes, would they not ban the smoking of cigarettes but make it illegal to use something of medical value. If you are going to ban one ban all of the harmful thi |

Socialism and CommunismWhile socialism and communism are both similar, socialism is the preferential choice when it comes to economic systems. In the novel, Animal Farm, the animals seem to be abiding under totalitarian or communist rule. Their leader Napoleon raves on about making the farm a fair and comfortable place, yet he's gradually turned the farm into a dystopian society.

The Life and Works of Oscar WildeAs an ambitious young man, Oscar Wilde started his career in literature with poems, plays and books. By reading his work and learning his background one might see a connection between the two. Like many authors, inspiration for a story could be a byproduct of traumatic or exciting events in his/her life. People all around the world use writing to express themselves and to tell their stories. Wilde's writing was scandalous for it's time. He portrayed flagrant lifestyles, love stories, secrets and sin. A man who only lived 46 years was born before his time. Today the world of literature is a free place where a man can write what he pleases. Born to successful Irish parents, Wilde started his life with a privileged upbringing. His father, a successful ear and eye surgeon, wrote and published many books in the medical field (Shuman). His mother, Mrs. Wilde, was a spokeswoman for Irish nationalism and women's rights (Shuman). Wilde, an educated man, was interested in art criticism and lit |

Comparison of Psychoanalysis TheoriesFreud is said to be the founding father of psychology and is credited with the development of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis can be defined as a theory that focuses on the interactions of the conscious and unconscious mind and attempting to transfer repressed elements such as fear, feelings and conflicts to the conscious side by using techniques such as dream association and free association. Freud had an emphasis on how the unconscious mind affects the behavior of people. Along with analyzing dreams, Freud also focused on the concept that a person has an id, an ego and a superego. According to Freud, a person's ID is the aspect of one's personality in which their basic wants and needs are met and is the most generic part of a person's personality. A person's ego is the part of the personality in which the needs of the ID are attempted to be met, but in a manner that is acceptable to other people. The ego essentially works together with reality. A person's superego is the part of the p |

The Value of a PennyWith advancements in technology, objects are becoming readily obsolete. In the past, individuals predominately relied on cash in order to purchase goods and services. In this economic structure, pennies were considered a worthwhile denomination because prices are listed in dollars and cents. However, as the United States is becoming more modernized and the value of the penny increasingly diminishes, the penny coin should be eliminated to increase economic efficiency. The penny should be eliminated because in our quickly modernizing world, credit cards, debit cards, and checks are replacing paper money and coins. Pennies and many other low-value coins have been "shoved out of the economic picture by charge cards" (Source B). Most people, including chi |

How Women Got the VoteThe 19th century witnessed the birth of two monumental movements in American history: Abolition of Slavery and Women's Suffrage. These two movements both sought to secure the American promise of liberty and equality for all people. With the turn of the 18th century, the dawn of a religious revival known as, "the Second Great Awakening", marked a new age recognized as The Antebellum Reform Era. The Awakening sparked a critical concept; that through religious efforts and moral reform, America could possess a perfect society. The Abolition of Slavery was the mother of the Civil Rights Movement evoking a desire in Americans to advance toward social improvements and with growing numbers of reform advocates; progression was on the horizon. A large percentage of the reform advocates were women. It was believed due to woman's high moral standards and their tender hearts that the Abolishment of Slavery and the gain of Women's Rights were driven to success. Women's Suffrage endured dur |

Implementing the Economics Stimulus ProgramIntroduction The turbulence of the current economic times have in the recent past plunged some economies into deep recessions. In response to this, governments have come up with economic stimulus packages in a bid to boost their economic growth and salvage their economies from the economic slump. There are two main ways through which this is achieved: it includes the implantation of the expansionary fiscal policy and the expansionary monetary policy (Jasson, 2005; Ferran et al., 2012). The expansionary fiscal plans basically involve the introduction of changes in the spending and/or taxation with the aim of influencing the aggregate demand: tax cuts in terms of income taxes for instance boost that disposable income of individuals, prompting them to spend more. Besides, boosting the expenditure of the government injects money into the economy and this translates into increased aggregate demand. On the other hand, monetary policy |

Ecuadorian Women in the WorkplaceIn my culture, women's work is almost the same as men's due to the following reasons: the payment is equal, both do the same work, fathers are spending more time with their children, and the children are not dividing their work in genders. Nowadays women have the same opportunities of becoming an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer, etc. as men do; but it hasn't been like this always, as time passes women have been obtaining the same rights as men. Women are paid the same as men, especially in the public sector, where the same work is for everybody and so is the payment. Women's work is as valued as men's in Ecuador. Here it is not based on who is doing the work or which gender the worker has, but it is the type of job that counts at the time of paying, especially in the private sector. A teacher for example, is paid the same quantity being a woman or a man but it can vary on the subject he/she teaches; so does a |

Negative Influences of Television on ChildrenOver the years television has been a major source of entertainment for people of all ages. Many children end up watching television well before they've began school and even infants and toddlers watch up to 2 hours of TV a day1. It is known that television can be a major source of education in the lives of young children, however, with so much negative content featured on many of today's television programs, the increasing amount of time spent in front of the TV could be doing more harm than good to modern day children and teens. Violence depicted on television can have a major impact on the minds of our youth. On average, American children witness around 200,000 acts of violence and 16,000 murders on TV by the age of 18; causing them to be less sensitive and this also increases their aggressiveness since television violence is often portrayed to be fun and acceptable1. Many TV characters use violence in order to solve problems which could lead a child to believe that this type of pr |

Horror and Violence in the Works of Flannery O'ConnorRemoved from the reality of God's beauty and grace all around us, O'Connor's intentional use of stark violence is to uncover the deeper horror, the spiritual deformity of humanity because of its estrangement from God. Frustrated over reviews that describe her stories as horrific, O'Connor writes in a letter addressed to "A," on 20 July 55, "I am always amused because the reviewer always has hold of the wrong horror" (Collected 942). The wrong horror of the explicit violence is to reveal the internal causes that perpetuate this violence. These internal causes are the true horror of our inner deformity. Goring, thievery, suicide, and massacres are the everyday reality of horror in the world and in the world of O'Connor's fiction. The sight of a little old lady gored by a bull traumatizes us, but the real trauma is our limited view of reality that harms us. Mrs. May in "Greenleaf" is O'Connor's character who takes on the blinders of concealment. With the ten |

The Women's Suffrage MovementToday women are now seen equal to a man all because of the 19th amendment. Back then the traditional view of women was to stay at home mom, clean, raise children, and to help with the family farm. In the 1800s men were the one in power. In their homes, in the workplace, and everywhere else. After going through three amendments later and about 90 solid years of fighting hard for women's rights they came up with the 19th amendment. The 19th amendment granted the American women the right to vote; a right known as women's suffrage. This task was not easy to achieve, since the male domination over powered women views and assumed that women were unschooled, ignorant, and their say was unimportant. The fight for women's suffrage began around the 1800's when Frederick Douglass gave a speech about women at the Seneca Falls Convention in upstate New York. That speech helped the women and their ca |

A Strong Male Rain by Hershman JohnIn the poem "A Strong Male Rain," Hershman John speaks about his childhood fear of lightning and how his roommate feared lightning as well. John tells the story of how he and his roommate came to fear the thunder that came with the rain. Throughout the poem, John uses a variety of literary devices in order to convey his message thoroughly. The idea for the poem came from a conversation he had with his roommate, Darcy. They talked about their childhood fear of lightning and how it came to be. For John, it was due to his Grandmother's explanation that if he didn't keep quiet and stand still, lightning would strike him. Similarly, Darcy's brother told her that if she stood too close to the window the Kugelblitz would get her. |

Renassiance Man and ShakespeareThe movie "Renaissance Man,' is a 1994 American comedy film. In Australia the film is also known as the Army Intelligence. I really liked the movie Renaissance Man because it has a good sense of humor but at the same time it has an educational side to it as well. It also shows that learning doesn't always have to be stressful - you can make it fun and educational the same time. To show Renaissance Man in class to introduce Shakespeare's Hamlet is a good idea because it gives the viewers a good outline of what Hamlet is about, it's inspiring, and the movie shows that anyone can feel connected to Shakespeare's work. Showing Renaissance Man was a great way to introduce Hamlet to the class because it gives the class a good outline of what Hamlet is all about. In the movie, Bill Rago, who is the teacher, goes through the main and important parts of Hamlet and explains them so that his students and the viewers can understand what is going on in the play. He also answers some questions that his |

Omnitel Cell Phone Market Share StrategyThe main problem Omnitel faces is gaining market share from Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM), a state owned and operated provider. TIM enjoyed a monopoly over the Italian telecommunications market until Omnitel's entrance into the market. Omnitel needs to differentiate and improve its offerings to customers from those of TIM since market survey results found a large share of Italian mobile phone users were reluctant to change brands. Unless Omnitel offers new revised plans and schemes, the company will continue to struggle in gaining market share as it doesn't differentiate itself from TIM enough to appear to be more attractive to prospective customers. The best way for Omnitel to distinguish itself from TIM could be to remove the monthly subscription charges, not subsidize its handset and most importantly target the middle to middle/upper class instead of the high-end customer base. Omnitel put a lot of effort into customer service and has been really successful in prov |
