The Rise of TechnologyFrom the invention of the computer, to the development of the Internet, the rise of technology has had a profound impact on media culture, revolutionising the world we live in today. Whilst industries have benefited from such unprecedented innovation, this paper will examine the impact the digital age is having on the Media Industry. In the past, people were subject only to the views and beliefs of major broadcasting companies. However with the rise of the Internet, and more importantly social media, there is now a forum for individuals to voice their opinions without being held to account. One very important issue this paper will look at is the personalisation of digital media and the issues associated with it. Another issue raised is the future of work in the Media Industry and the impact that technological innovation is having on legacy media outlets. A significant development in media culture is that as media forums evolve in an online world, the theory of Agenda-Setting has becom |

The Plight of 19th Century FarmersAmerican society of the early nineteenth century has been characterized by the flourishing of farming and country life. During its early history and well into the 1800s, America remained largely a land of farms and small country towns, but with the arrival of industrialization and urbanization in the late nineteen century came a significant change in rural America. Farm life for many Americans during this period became frustrating and harsh, as small farmers attempted to compete in the newly industrialized society. Farmers couldn't seek aid from the federal government due to the prevailing lassiez-faire attitude, which prevented the government from regulate business. It is clear that the plight of farmers in the late nineteenth century was caused by the unfair practices of railroads along with the dropping prices of crop sand problems regarding currency. Farmers proposed to resolve these problems by advocating for the silver standard and through the organization of groups such as |

The Life of a Boutique OwnerAn entrepreneur is one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise, and must be ready with skills and knowledge to approach difficulties of the business. A boutique is a retail store that is small and sells a wide range of items like clothes, shoes, and jewelry.

Writing and Article Reflection PaperTo begin writing, I familiarized my self with the article. I read the article over and over and began to highlight portions by theme. I took the massive text and broke it down into shorter sections. For example, I highlighted the section about Jimmy Kimmel in red; I highlighted the paragraph of text about William Feather in blue, and I continued this process until each section was highlighted according to topic. This made it easier for me to digest the entirety of the text. After breaking the article down, I began to search for rhetorical devices and strategies because I wanted to prove that his rhetoric supported his claim that ignorance often masquerades as confidence. And from that point I created an outline for my essay. My outline laid out t |

Judaism in Israel - Impact and EffectsThere are about 13-14 million Jews in the world, and about 5-6 million Jews are from Israel. Since Israel is the country with the most Jews in Asia, and one of the most impacted country by Judaism, Israel became the central of the religion. Israel is a country that has lots of connections to Judaism that includes the people's dietary habits, special holidays, and reasons for Jewish businessmen success. The Jews' way of living contain a lot of rules they need to follow from the Torah, include what they are allowed to eat. For the Jews, there's a set of laws called the Kosher, telling the Jews about foods that are fine to eat, so if an animal is not Kosher, then a Jew shouldn't eat it. Certain foods may not be eaten at all. Restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs, and milk of the forbidden animals. Some restricted animals include snails, weasels, raven, and the most important one of all - pork. Jews only eat meat that has been killed and prepared in accordance with the Kosher rule |

Poem Analysis - Theme For English BIn Langston Hughes, "Theme For English B," I intend to argue that the character throughout the poem is trying to find identity and purpose, and this is done through symbolism, imagery, and diction. The poem begins with the instructor giving the class the assignment of writing a paper and asking that what they write comes from within them and only then it'll be truethis is immediately followed by the characters line, "I wonder if its that simple?" The character has doubts of what is asked of him, feeling what his, "truth," is will not be accepted, having grown a man with different background. "I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem. I went to school there, then Durham, then here to this college on the hill above Harlem," (3). In this line we see our character telling the reader of his journey, moving from Historically poor Winston-Salem, to Durham where he attended school, which is an area of fine schools, already showing the reader his |

Biography of Andrew CarnegieAndrew Carnegie, a business man and philanthropist, once said "People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents." (Goodreads: Andrew Carnegie Quotes). Carnegie was a very important figure in American industrialism. He helped shape and expand the steel industry due to his impressive ability to recognize and utilize business opportunities. Even after his retirement, he was respected for using his fortune for acts of generosity and charity. Whether you consider him a robber baron or a captain of industry, America would not be the same without his influence. Carnegie was born in Scotland and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848. He first started working in 1848 when he was thirteen as a bobbin boy at a cotton mill, and then by 1850 became a telegrapher. He d |

Water and the Aquatic BiomeThe aquatic biome is the biggest of the biomes, and links all our biomes together. Aquatic is defined as relating to water. The world is made up of 75% water and 25% soil. This means that most of the world is considered an aquatic biome. Within this community there are thousands of mammals, fish, and plants that are living in the waters of earth, and each one plays its own role. The temperature in the aquatic world tends to vary, but for the most part it stays on the cooler side. The aquatic biome can be broken down into two basic regions, freshwater (i.e. ponds and rivers) and marine (i.e. oceans and estuaries). In each part there are several different species both large and small. Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration-usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e. ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions: ponds, lake |

The Internet: Dangers and the Protection of ChildrenAbstract Parents today with children from ages eight to seventeen are often clueless about the real risks when their children access the Internet. A great number of children today are going online and engaging in activities that are very dangerous and risky, such as viewing explicit content and being vulnerable to predators that use the Internet to target them. There are ways to go about protecting children from the great dangers in cyber world. The Horrors of the Internet: The Dangers and the Protection of Children The history of the Internet started with the invention of electronic computers in the 1950's. The invention of radios, telephones, and telegraphs were all part of the start of technology. The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Licklider in August 1962 discussing his "Galactic Network" idea. He went on to create an interconnected set of computers through which everyone could |

Psychopathy and Neurodevelopmental Impairments"In the early 1800s, doctors who worked with mental patients began to notice that some of their patients who appeared outwardly normal had what they termed a 'moral depravity' or 'moral insanity,' in that they seemed to possess no sense of ethics or of the rights of other people. The term 'psychopath' was first applied to these people around 1900." Psychopaths are identified as people who lack emotion in psychological terms. They lack empathy based on emotions with their victims. Although they know how to speak, they lack understanding abilities, which is why they may mistake actions by others toward them as harsh. Not all psychopaths are episodic criminals. Some are just the kind of people society needs. People with this disorder show a different behavior when they response or react to other people's actions. In my opinion, a lesson of morality could be learned from psychopaths. When you first look upon a psychopaths' face, they seem to be completely normal. They do not show weakness and most of them have high IQs, but their disorder is related to th |

Women and the History of BasketballThe history of the United States corresponds with the history of basketball. The game of basketball had been created in 1891; it was until 1950 when the game became racially integrated, allowing black men to play on white teams. In 1892, a Gymnastic instructor, Senda Berenson Abbott, adapts to the basketball rules and introduces the sport to women at Smith College. Gender discrimination prevented most women from participating in areas traditionally dominated by men, and basketball was no exception. Basketball is an ageless game thought and learned from generation to generation, from father to son, father to daughter, etc. However the game of basketball can be cruel and can keep you down on your knees if you let it. Players are remembered for their missed shots, letting their team down when needed most, and most important their weaknesses. The cruelest part of the game is not what happens on the court, it's the events that coincide with the game. Basketball mirrors 'White America' |

Efforts to Enhance the Spirit of PatriotismFading patriotism among the people in our country at this moment, as claimed by many. This became so because each busy with their own affairs that led to disregard the other things. In their opinion, the important thing in life is that they should try to find wealth and to find money to increase revenue alone. Therefore, they do not emphasize patriotism and ignored the national day celebrations, such as members of our community do not fly the flag of Malaysia as the country's independence anniversary run. So, we hope that the spirit of patriotism among the people can be improved. Actually, there are many ways that can be done to enhance the spirit of patriotism among the people in our country. One of the ways is to give emphasis to the process of fertilization patriotism in school bench. This allows patriotism staples for students such as the Malay proverb says, "to bend the bamboo, let the shoot." If patriotism is nurtured from childhood, of course, patriotism will continue to be practiced and maintained into adulthood. Furthermore, the practice is important because we can create a society that |

The Importance of the SynagogueThe Importance of Synagogue There are three different terms to express the word "Synagogue". "Beit Ha Tefilah" means house of prayer, "Beit Ha Knesset" means house of assembly and "Beit Ha Midrash" means house of study. (Judaism Rabbi Scheinerman) Synagogues are not only places for worshiping God but also community centers, where people can read books, hold court, wedding ceremonies and festivals. (Rich) Jews started to go to synagogues after the main temple was destroyed. The varieties of roles that synagogues have and the different characteristics they have compared to the main temple made Jews want to go to synagogues to keep up living a religious life. Based on the popular theory, the first synagogue originated during the Babylonian captivity of 606-536 B.C. (The Synagogue) From that time people could not continue to worship God at the temple because enslaved Jewish exiles had been carried far from their homeland and Nebuchadnezzar had burned the temple to th |

Sir Thomas More - A Man for All SeasonsRobert Bolt's timeless drama, A Man for all Seasons, depicts the conflict between a noblemen – Sir Thomas More, and the King – Henry VIII. The issue arises when Sir Thomas More does not grant a divorce from Catherine of Aragon for King Henry. Throughout the play More's morals and ideals are put to the test by various powers of England and it is through sound structure, multiple plot developments and vital dialogue that he is presented to the audience. In many plays the title reflects either the main character or the plight of the important. In this play the title directs the audience's attention towards two significant characters, Sir Thomas More and The Common Man. When looking at the structure of the play it is clear to see that The Common Man is important. He opens the play and he closes it. His very first lines are, "It is perverse! To start a play made up of Kings/and Cardinals in speaking costumes and/intellectuals with embroidered mouths, with me." The |

Portrayal of Buffalo in PoetryIn both 'The Flower-Fed Buffaloes' and 'Buffalo Bill,' the buffalo are portrayed as delicate, amongst other things. In 'The Flower-Fed Buffaloes,' Vachel Lindsay says 'The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring.' This quote shows that the buffalo are seen to be joyful and resemble new life. If something is flower fed, it would be associated with delicacy, sweetness and happiness. Especially by putting it in the first line, it resonates in the mind of the reader as it isn't what they expect to hear about these vicious creatures known to be violent and murderous. Instead we are hit with quite an alarming and surprising first line which puts buffalo in the same harmfulness category as a cow, not what the reader is particularly expecting. In 'Buffalo Bill,' e e cummings shows the buffalo to be at the mercy of Buffalo Bill, as Buffalo Bill is the epitome of the wild west in that time, it would be wise to assume that as Bill is killing off buffalo, the rest of the |

Discrimination and the L.A. RiotsAccording to history, police brutality as well as discrimination against minorities, has been an underlining reason for riots. Within the United States there has been a total of 13 riots that were associated with racism (rowen 2015). As seen within society there is a clear distinction between those who enforce the law and those who are to abide by the law. In 1992 the Los Angeles Riots were described to be the most deadly and costly riots. The L.A. riots were a catastrophic event, the product of conflict between police enforcement; specifically white police enforcement and those of color over the corruption of the judicial system. The main cause of the L.A. riots was solely based on the oppression and inequality that those of color had to deal with. During the time that the L.A. riots took place, Watts was a predominantly a low-income community with a large African-American population, many of whom felt that in addition to high unemployment, poverty and racial discrimination, its resi |

Health and Religious Practices of the JapaneseJapanese religious beliefs are predominantly Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism and health care for the Japanese has traditionally been defined according to these beliefs. Today, the Japanese have assimilated both Eastern and Western medical belief systems, revealing a very diverse culture with regard to health care workers and practices. This paper will illustrate how various religious beliefs influence Japanese health care. Religious Beliefs Shintoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are the predominant religions of the Japanese. However, according to Purnell (2013), "Most Japanese do not identify themselves solely with one religion; even a baptized Christian might have a Shinto wedding and a Buddhist funeral" (p. 332). All Japanese are born into Shinto and the vast majority practice it. Shinto is based on the belief that gods are represented in our natural landscape and emphasizes the divineness of nature. For Shintoists, all living things are considered divine and are |

Film Analysis - The Red BalloonThe Red Balloon (French: Le Ballon rouge) is a fantasy film about friendship. Friendship is a bond between people that requires trust, loyalty and respect. A friendship requires a lot of time and hard work to obtain an everlasting bond. A relationship can come in many different shapes and forms, and sometimes even with material things like we see in the film.

U.S. History - The Civil Rights MovementThe Civil Rights Movement changed the culture of America in the 1960's by banning discrimination of people based on race, sex, national origin and religion. Because of this important social movement, African Americans and other minorities were more involved in everyday life by being allowed to work higher-paying jobs, attend mixed schools and have the same rights as everyone else in America. This meant that African Americans and women would be working in the same place as white people and men, also black children would be in the same classroom and playgrounds as white children. This forced people to get used to Americans and women having equal rights. The Brown V Board of Education case is what started school integration. The case was decided in 1954, the court ruled that segregation in public schools is prohibited by the Constitution and also ruled out "separate but equal". The case overturned the Plessy V Ferguson decision of 1896 which allowed segregation. One of the most important |

Chicano Student Movement in East Los AngelesThe East Los Angeles Walkouts or Chicano Blowouts were a series of 1968 protests against unequal conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District high schools. While the students who organized and carried out the protests were primarily concerned with the quality of their education, they were also motivated by the high minority death toll in the Vietnam War and the ongoing civil rights campaigns of the Chicano Movement. The Chicano Student Movement was the part of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement that focused on educational equality. Chicano students believed that "Education is not a privilege, it's a right." East Los Angeles had been home to Mexicans since the establishment of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in 1781. With the dawn of the American era, they found themselves restricted to the East side, and other non-Anglo ethnicities were segregated here as well. As a result, East Los Angelinos never received the same level of government services as did their wea |

Declining Health of Hemlock Headwater EcosystemsAbstract Possible Effects of the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid on Hemlock Headwater Ecosystems. Allyson Kopera, 2015, Biology Department, Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA 16652. The overall health of Hemlock Headwater Ecosystems in Central Pennsylvania is declining due to an invasion of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Because the needles on the trees are falling and being affected, the whole ecosystem is suffering. With what we know about how the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid affects Hemlock Headwater Ecosystems, we conducted experiments where we could relate the biological factors that were affected with the possible presence of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. We investigated ten different areas surrounding Huntingdon Country and took measurements of biological factors such as canopy density and water temperature. We observed that the decrease in needles on the trees significantly affected the rest of the ecosystem either by falling aerial litter or opening up the canopy to allow more sun to penetrate the s |

Giovanni Arnolfini and his Bride by Jan van EyckJan van Eyck painted Giovanni Arnolfini and his Bride in 1434. Jan van Eyck was an Early Netherlandish painter. The painting that is now officially called Giovanni Arnolfini and his Bride has had many previous names such as, The Arnolfini Wedding, The Arnolfini Marriage, The Arnolfini Double Portrait, and the Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife. The painting is a small portrait that is believed to be Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and a woman who is believed to be his wife. This remarkable painting was created using oil paints on an oak panel. This painting is so famous because it was the first paintings that used oil instead of the standard tempera method that was so popular in this period of time. Oil paint takes many hours to dry but is easily blended on any surface. The oil paints allowed |

Donaldson and Preston's Stakeholder TheoryDonaldson and Preston provides conclusive defense for stakeholder theory over Friedman's shareholder theory. Friedman's shareholder theory states that a corporate executive should use all legal and moral means to promote the means of the shareholders (P. 211-212). In other words, Friedman is saying that the executive or manager should act solely on the want of the owners (shareholders) of the company (P. 211-212). For example, a corporate executive may feel that it is his duty to give to his local church. The executive withdraws $1,000 a month from his corporate credit card and donates to his church. According to Friedman, he is wrong because although the executive's intentions are good, the means by which he gave (taking from the shareholder's owned business) is wrong. This example of the executive is the same as a babysitter selling off a family's furniture and giving the money to charity. The babysitter's intentions are good but he or she wrongly used the owner of the home's property to do it. Freidman says that people, not businesses, have an obligation to society and that obligation |

The Threat of National IdentificationWilliam Safire feels that if national identification is required for U.S. citizens, then America will lose the right of the fourth amendment. The Fourth Amendment states that all citizens' personal life is protected against unreasonable searches. Disregarding democrats Safire directs the concern for the American economy to young republican adults. William Safire is afraid the government will control the personal life of Americans, and tires to influence the population to realize the actions of the government. National identity is like a parent grounding a child to Safire. Through automatic ethos William Safire explains how national identification is unhealthy for the country. Safire gains credibility through the books he writes on politics, and because he once served as President Richard's speechwriter. The |
