James Shelley’s thesis brings into perspective various dimensions of understandings that have been used to situate the problem of tragedy in different contexts. Tragedy has been associated with pain and pleasure, which are the core drivers in every individual that influence the quest for a solution in every problem. However, the solutions must meet a set of confines that determine how the problem can be solved. The thesis categorizes these confines into four major categories. One of the restrictions is that pleasure must stem from one source of relief. In this case, tragedy can only be assessed in the light of its own version of pleasure and relief. Pleasure must have the qualities of being associated with some relief from a particular thing. In essence, relief should stem from backward reflection where relief in a certain situation or past event can be associated with tragedy generated from another thing. The same case applies to the pleasure of relief. Another confine that can be used to explain the solutions in tragedy is that the solution must contain elements of pain and pleasure at the same time. Solutions under this category present a complex approach to the problem by embracing the two elements in equal measure. However, in pain-pleasure solutions, pleasure is presumed to overwhelm the pain. On the other hand, no-pain approach to tragedy yields more pleasure compared to the level of pain in such a solution. Apart from pain and pleasure approaches to the problem, another restriction is that the solution must be in tandem with the highest value of tragedy that has been accorded by traditions. In this case, the no-pleasure solution to tragedy is portrayed as an approach that denies the role of pleasure in valuing tragedy. However, the approach enables individuals to provide explanations of high esteems that traditiona
Audrey Niffenegger Audrey Niffenegger, who was born in 1963 in Michigan, is widely known as a famous artist and an outstanding writer. She is also considered to be a professor at the College Center for Paper Arts and Books. Audrey Niffenegger is a member of an artists group which exhibits in Chicago. Audrey Niffenegger teaches writing to artists. She basically concentrates on the combination of the images and text and trying to create different stories by means of illustrations and comics. Her creative work is also devoted to the teaching of lithography, seminars and edition book making, letterpress printing. She expresses her talent in wonderful visual novels, paintings, photographs and drawings. The analysis of her works discloses the fact that her style of writing is quiet, strange and figurative. Audrey Niffenegger has a gallery Printworks which is situated in Chicago. Her printmaking is really individual and unique and differs by its obscurity, the line quality and intimacy. The creative work of Audrey Niffenegger was influenced by many famous and outstanding writers and artists. For example, in writing the author was merely influenced by Henry James, Allan Poe and Richard Powers, while in the sphere of art she was influenced by Joseph Cornell, Hans Bellmer, Horst Janssen and Winsor McCay. The first works of the author are devoted to the writer’s life experience and disclose the events and facts which were familiar to her that is why many of these works are autobiographical. One of such works is The Time Traveler’s Wife where the writer reflected the life of her close people in the characters. She added some imaginary and mixed it with the real facts of life. Personal Opinion The first novel of Audrey Niffenegger which is called The Time Traveler’s Wife is very vital and involving. It discloses the real life of the couple and besides, the story was partially experienced by the author. I for one consider this book to be very close to life though it tells about the time travelling of a loving person who is unable to control his life and love. The author shows the reader details of the touchy love story which took place in her real life between her grandparents. Reading the story I managed to understand how deep the feelings of her characters were and why the author decided to devote the whole book to this topic and period of her personal life. One can realize that Audrey Niffenegger always admired warm relationships of her grandparents whose love was so deep that neither time nor death could separate them. The content of the book The Time Traveler’s Wife discloses the feelings of loving people who are ready to overcome any obstacles whatever the cost in order to be together and just love each other. I can say t
Introduction The shifts in attitudes of people towards romantic relationships and, more specifically, marriage are attributes of societal development. From this perspective, the trends common for Gen Z are incredibly informative and, therefore, used for analyzing the situation in this area (Klein, 2022). It is clear that individuals’ mindsets are formed under the influence of external circumstances, which implies the correlation of opinions about love and sex with the presence of threats to personal well-being. Hence, one cannot examine the accompanying phenomena and cause-and-effect relationships while neglecting either the human factor or the conditions of the environment. One of the articles devoted to the subject is “Are Gen Z more pragmatic about love and sex?” and its critical analysis can reveal the elements of effective writing intended for considering complex events. Summary of the Article In the selected piece, Jessica Klein narrates the tendency for representatives of Gen Z to postpone marriage and avoid long-term relationships while prioritizing personal issues. Compared to previous generations, these individuals do not view this area as a natural condition for entering adulthood due to a number of reasons. First, the advantages of single life are more attractive than settling down and help them satisfy their need for introspection (Klein, 2022). Second, people in this group adopt a pragmatic approach to the matter because they understand the necessity of gaining stability in life in order to have a family (Klein, 2022). Third, Gen Zers face more problems than their parents due to the pandemic and prefer to reflect on the kind of person they want to be partners with and choose them carefully (Klein, 2022). As a result, the processes in this area slow down significantly, and the primary focus on self, as opposed to interactions with others, justify the changes which happened to this part of human life. Response Evidence The examined article is an effective piece of writing due to the inclusion of evidence from numerous sources, both of qualitative and quantitative nature. Thus, Klein (2022) refers to multiple studies related to the subject under consideration, including surveys conducted among the target population and statistical data gathered by official institutions. More importantly, she analyzes the current tendencies in the relationships of Gen Z through the lens of the experience of previous generations (Klein, 2022). This approach to the task makes the findings more credible compared to a possible orientatio
Introduction Crime analysis is one of the most efficient instruments that help to reinforce the law in day-to-day life. There are several types of criminal analysis: administrative, strategic, and tactical. These analysis types serve different functions and could be employed as a group. To choose a proper type of criminal analysis, one needs to understand the purpose with which a type of crime analysis will be used. Types of Criminal Analysis Criminal analysis types and their specifics are administrative, strategic, and tactical. The administrative analysis is intended for long-term decision-making rather than crime-solving, and the data obtained for this analysis is more generalized. The strategic analysis serves to deal with current ongoing problems ranging from weeks to years, and it aims to establish why a particular type of crime is committed. The tactical analysis concerns urgent criminal offenses (from hours to weeks), and its goal is to provide a quick result. The Type of Criminal Analysis to Combat Vehicle Theft Vehicle theft is an act of obtaining a motor vehicle without its owner’s permission. According to Crimegrade, in the neighborhood of House Springs, Missouri, vehicle theft stands at C- grade, which means that 67% of US cities are safer in terms of vehicle theft (House Springs, n.d.). Given that the status of this issue is recurring and has continued for many years, the appropriate type of criminal analysis for it would be strategic analysis. It would help determine the trends within this area of crime and show ways for better resource allocation. Conclusion In conclusion, there are three types of criminal analysis, which help law reinforcement, and each of them has its features and purposes. When choosing the most beneficial type of analysis to combat a certain kind of crime, one must consider its urgency and how the obtained data could be used. For vehicle theft, it is the strategic analysis, given the time-span of this issue and ways this particular analysis would be helpful to combat it.

The impact of factors on GDP and each of its components and the level of unemployment Keynesian 45 0 model of economic variable comparison was derived by compares aggregate expenditure (C+I+G+X-M) and National Income in an economy and suggested that at an optimal state, where an economy has no surplus or deficit, then the relationship between the two forms a 45 0 angle curve; the following curve represents the model: A brief analysis of the diagram: the above 45 0 diagram is the version of the Keynesian model, the line making 45 0 is the line where the AE aggregate Expenditure (C+I+G+X-M) = National Income Y, this can only be attained an idea economic situation which is hard to come by. This paper interpolates the effects on the following: An increase in the domestic rate of interest When the rate of interest is increased, then the cost of getting finances is increased, the most direct result is a reduction in investments, investment results to reduce the consumption reduces since the people have no source of spending money. Investments are the exporters, when they have been reduced, then the economy suffers reduced exportation; people will opt to buy imported goods since the cost of producing local goods has increased and with a reduced number of investments. The net result is increased importation. The GDP reduces and there will be an increase in the unemployment level in the economy. When an economy has a high rate of unemployment, then government expenditure will increase. A decline in consumer confidence When consumers do not have confidence with goods produced in the economy; then they are likely to buy imported goods which they believe are of better quality, importation thus increases. The economy will have reduced demand for goods locally thus local consumption will reduce: firms will have reduced businesses thus they will not be willing to invest further in the economy, thus investments reduce. When the local economy is not expanding, then the economy is not producing commodities to export, the exportation reduces. In the situation, the economy is not expanding thus employment rate will reduce or the unemployment rate will be increased, as well as the GDP of a country. When an economy has a high rate of unemployment, then government expenditure will increase. A decrease in the general rate of taxation The decrease in taxation, holding other economic factors constant, affects investments, people will be willing to invest in the economy since they will enjoy a low rate of taxation; with an economy with increasing investments, then the rate of unemployment will be reduced and the consumption of the economy increased. An economy with investments is a growing economy thus the economy will be on an upward rise. The investments will be
It is important to understand the fact that artistic cinematography and literature are anthropocentric. Over time, the value of the personality increases absorbs all the attention of the author, who seeks to reveal the inner world of the hero. The film gives the recipient the opportunity to realize the dynamics of the character’s thoughts and actions, to form his own vision of the image. Gone Girl is a detective psychological thriller shot in 2014, which is based on Gillian Flynn’s novel. The movie was directed by David Fincher, but the screenplay was created and conducted by Gillian Flynn. A deep and detailed image of the inner world of the heroes, such as their thoughts, desires, experiences, which is an essential feature of the aesthetic world of the work. The given analysis will primarily focus on the film’s setting, characters, and overall theme. In addition, the original book will be utilized in order to give a more complete analysis of the movie. The movie’s setting makes it realistic, whereas the main character unveils the major theme of dishonesty and superficiality. Setting The movie’s general setting takes place in modern times in the United States. By thoroughly observing costumes and sets, it is evident that both main characters, Nick and Amy, are members of the upper-middle class. I felt that this story was relevant because the circumstances are highly familiar. The film states both time and place, where the storyline indicates that the character lost their jobs due to the recession and reside in North Carthage (Gone Girl). Therefore, it is evident that the time of settings takes place somewhere after 2008 in the state of Missouri. The movie is in color due to the fact that it takes place in modern times. However, it is not relevant to the storyline because the film does not use black and white colors to set the mood. The setting is a critical component of the storyline because the recession was the main cause for spouses losing their jobs. This puts massive pressure on their marriage, which is one of the primary topics of the movie. Character The given section will primarily focus on Amy as she is the main catalyst in the storyline, whereas Nick can be considered a reactionary character. Amy is revealed twice in the plot, where initially, she is presented as a victim of kidnapping or murder. However, her second appearance in the middle of the film takes place in front of a mirror, where she is doing make-up facing directly at
The concept of the “melting pot” has always been an unrealistic idea desired by the pioneers of America. The main point was to create a whole new American culture that would define the continent’s population by the specific characteristics, traditions, and customs. However, this perception of the American culture was never destined to become a reality because of the existed cultural pluralism. The population of America was formed predominantly from the arrived Europeans and citizens of other countries and lands. From the start, there was no foundation for assimilation because the diversity of unique cultures from representatives of numerous nations was too high to erase their features in order to create the new one. Therefore, instead of ignoring the peculiarities of many ethnicities and trying to form a purely American culture, it is better to use the more contemporary concept of multiculturalism. This term accurately describes the historical process that has been going on since discovering the continent. Multiculturalism allows people to preserve their ethnic identities and coexist in the same territory instead of removing the specific singularities and making everyone look alike (Takaki, 2008). Such an idea can be compared to the metaphors of mosaic or a salad bowl used to describe the mix of the various elements that all together create outstanding results while preserving the uniqueness of each part. Thus, it is necessary to mention the failure of the “melting pot” concept in the United States history to recognize the contribution of the different cultures in the building of America the way it is now. There would be no diverse and bright culture without participation and acknowledgment of the different heritages and customs. Everything starting from food and music to art and fashion was built as the result of multiculturalism. Therefore, mentioning it in history allows people to remember, value, and recognize the impact of different cultures and appreciate the diversity for which the US is so well-known.

Introduction The history of the United States of America has been rightfully associated with the constant battle for freedom and recognition of the state’s socio-political identity. The existing tendency of multiculturality and ethnic diversity traces back several centuries ago, following the patterns of political force allocation within the modern US territory. In his The Scratch of a Pen , Collin E. Calloway dwells on the manifestation of the consequences of such a force allocation, namely, the fundamentals of the historical development of the United States and global politics after signing the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The Treaty, initially signed by British, French, and Spanish leaders, put an end to a dreadful and seemingly lifelong war on political leadership and imperialistic intentions of the world’s leading nations. However, while it is generally accepted to prioritize the discussion of the solely political implications of the end of the Seven Years’ War, Calloway places emphasis on a more significant aspect of the political endeavor: the indigenous peoples affected by the political power distribution and Europe’s egocentric intentions. Hence, The Scratch of a Pen: 1763 and Transformation of North America is a book that focuses not on the purely historical context of the Seven Years’ War but focuses on the Treaty of Paris’s role as a precursor of North America’s transformation and rebellion, leading to the signature of the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Seven Years’ War and Treaty of Paris Having started at the end of the 15th century with the thrive of colonialism during the Era of Discovery, some of the most powerful nations at the time paid much effort and attention to the desire to
Introduction Frederick Douglass, a notable anti-slavery activist, managed to present the different aspects of slavery to convince the audience of its abnormality. In this work, extracts from three of his speeches are analyzed. Among the essential components of these speeches were his self-posture as a victim of slavery and the embodiment of the black experience and his black nationalism. Analysis Frederick Douglass was an eminent abolitionist and statesman known as a skilled orator and writer. As a former slave, who escaped to freedom, he was a fierce opponent of slavery. In his writings and speeches, Douglass condemned slavery and supported the rights of black people, as well as the other oppressed groups. The analyzed document contains excerpts from his three speeches, “What to the slave is the fourth of July?” “The internal slave trade,” and “The slavery party.” All three speeches are devoted to the topic of slavery, taking its different aspects into consideration. In “What to the slave is the fourth of July?” the orator drives the attention of his audience to a serious contradiction: Americans consider the Declaration of independence a document that proclaimed freedom, but this freedom has no relation to black people. “The internal slave trade” reflects on another contradiction: people in America often condemn the external slave trade as a horrible thing, but the same people think that the internal slave trade is normal while it is no less horrible. “The slavery party” is concentrated on the political aspect of slavery. Douglass characterizes the political lobby of slavery as a separate “party,” whose members, no matter Whigs or Democrats, do their best to support slaveho

Introduction The government of Scotland recognises the need to develop a comprehensive system to address mental health issues throughout the region. Contemporary medicine and technology allow for the prevention and treatment of almost all mental conditions. To achieve this task on a national scale, however, there should be a common framework for handling prevalent issues. To address these concerns, the government of Scotland developed a 10-year mental health strategy. This paper will provide an overview and critique of the plan. In short, the strategy published by the Scottish government is comprehensive, but there are questions about its feasibility. Summary The Scottish Government’s Mental Health strategy spans from 2017 to 2027. The document prioritises early intervention and prevention, and thus, emphasises the importance of schools in early diagnosis and counselling. For those individuals who professionally support young people, the government is to develop training programmes to elevate their skills and expertise. The second element of the strategy is the development of convenient mental support services and improving the accessibility of treatment options. This part includes increasing the number of mental health workers, improving the quality of self-help materials, and providing funding for vulnerable segments of the population. Three other critical sections of the document are the treatment of physical issues that resulted from mental conditions, advancing relevant legislation, and developing a data framework for future use. Critique The strategy can be considered to be comprehensive because it handles all aspects of treating and preventing mental health issues. The document can be visualised as a pipeline – mental conditions are attempted to be dealt with at early stages. As individuals move through the pipeline, they receive treatment and materials for self-help. The last point in the pipeline is the systematic collection of data. Information about individuals with mental health conditions and their experience from childhood to adulthood can contribute to the understanding of psychological problems. Having a database with multidimensional data is a significant advantage in terms of investigation opportunities and the feasibility of research projects. Despite the relatively short length of the plan, it encompasses multiple planes of the same issue. For the prevention of mental health
