Introduction An American regionalism that defines itself through combat with the European metropole and its antitype, openness to the heritage of Europe, are not, however, irreconcilable. Both Frost and Wilbur show that these apparent contrarieties can be resolved in synthesis. Both are blessed with a bifocality that keeps a steady eye on the regional object and yet feels no sense of cultural betrayal or compromise in mediating these perceptions through “international” form. In Wilbur’s poetry, signs of recurring impatience have been traced with the materialism of the metropolis and the redemptive vision of a regionalist culture wedded to the soil. Wilbur is a poet acutely conscious of both poles in the argument. In an essay entitled “Regarding Places,” he gives an account of a walk in the New England countryside with a friend, a friend so caught up with his internationalist art that he cannot respond to the local detail before him. (Snodgrass, 122-26) Wilbur’s vision is by contrast a covalent one–he is able to respond to his immediate setting as well as to the abstractions that obsess the cyclopean artist walking with him. Main Text Wilbur has regionalist sympathies as vivid as the English poet’s, however different his conception and practice of poetic form. Wilbur’s mediate position between the extreme and finally impractical regionalism of poets like Williams not to mention the multicultural critics who succeed him and the geographically unrooted position of exiles like T. S. Eliot can perhaps be ascribed to his New England heritage, the mediateness of which is apparent in the very name “New England.” Frank Wells has characterized its nineteenth-century culture as something based on the “curious marriage of provinciality and cosmopolitanism whereby they remained provincials in heart and cosmopolitans in mind.” (Wells, 87) Strict poetic forms are unlikely to be yielded by regionalist culture, if only because the folk art that produces, say, an artless ballad is not an art concealing art by any Horatian sleight of hand. (Oliver, 318-30) Nor are more self-conscious artists forging new forms as an act of anticolonial faith likely to manage much by way of strictness. Self-evolved laws will fit the contours of the self instead of challenging its habits and velleities. Yet at the same time, Wilbur’s creed has little bearing on that of Wallace Stevens, even in spite of the points of contact between them. Form imposes pattern on the world, and yet the world is there tractably or reluctantly to receive it, not to be displaced by the artifact that denatures its materials as it admits them to the alternative permanence of art. We are all to some extent culturally regionalists, conditioned in crucial ways by circumstances of birth and culture. However, because many poems in Wilbur’s first collection record his experiences as a soldier in Europe, his native accents of heart and mind sound for the first time in an alien milieu. One might have expected laments of dislocation and puzzlement, and yet even the earliest poems testify to his knack of adapting and adopting, of naturalizing his res
Amazing Grace is a Christian hymn widely sung in the world. It was written by a slave trader, John Newton in 1770s. Newton was an ordained Anglican priest and his journey to priesthood was not a usual one. He was a son of a merchant ship commander and his father took him in some of the voyages when he was 11 years old. John lived a desperate life that was sinful and wretched up as a slave trader. He joined the naval service where he became a mid shipman, the job he did not like. His job changed to a common seaman and due to this humiliation, he thought of committing suicide (Aitken 29). In one of the slave expeditions, Newton faced a storm, he prayed to God and survived. On one occasion, John fell into the sea. In an attempt to rescue him, his fellow crew threw a hook on him which hooked his thigh, they pulled him to safety and from there onward, John walked with a limp. John’s mother died of tuberculosis and he was left with a family friend to take care of him. These are the acts that led Newton to compose the song because he saw how God’s grace was amazing. The song was personal to John as it was a song of salvation and redemption. Newton was a sinner but through the amazing grace of God, he is now found (Aitken 17). God’s grace is not of this world and it is supernatural, that’s why Newton refers to it as to an amazing one. People think that religion is the making of an individual’s mind and that it is under the influence of the person acting on it. No man can give or take away another man’s grace. John suffered from a stroke that incapacitated him and he was unable to return to the sea. He saw this as a test to his spiritual well-being and it motivated him to study Christianity further (Steel 36). Christians believe that the son of God Jesus Christ will save them from the evil through the repentance. The blood of Jesus Christ on the cross washes away the sins Christians commit. They believe that grace washes away their sins and a wretch like John got his salvation because of God’s grace. John became an Anglican priest after he left the slave trade. “Amazing Grace is at its heart the hymn-equivalent of what Christians believe is the greatest redemption story in history” (Shmoop Editorial Team par. 3). John’s redemption was spiritual and had God’s grace in it. The song talks of the harm that would befall a Christian if he doesnt rely on God. It brings the picture of someone who has experienced “many dangers, toils, and snares” (Shmoop Editorial Team par. 3) but the grace of God saved him and he is now safe. It tells about forgiveness and celebration of life after death. “They may have been lost, but now they’re found, blind, but now they see” (Shmoop Editorial Team par.
Introduction Human Cloning is a universal phrase, giving a description of any procedure that creates or manufactures a precise genetic imitation of a biological object, together with a DNA sequence, a cell, or an organism. However, elementary consistencies like genes and cells have been cloned by Scientists for years. Currently, great quantities of regular biological research and many great significances or value of pharmaceutical submissions rely on this sort of cloning, which engage as a participant a few of the principled quandaries demonstrated by the cloning of human beings and higher animals (Wilson & Kass, 1998). Consequently, when discussing the debate on human cloning, there are several issues that should be discussed. The maxims and logical consequence of human life should be given priority in discussion as well as questioning. One major thing is to establish whether the product of human cloning will be a person or a just piece of property. Nevertheless, a CNN poll carried out in America shows that 90% of Americans are opposed to human cloning. This practicable application of science would make it potential to create humans by cloning as well as gradually converting the biological human reproduction into a manufacturing prolongation or projection where genetically designed babies are made in laboratories. As we discuss human cloning, ethics should also be included. Hansen, B. (2006, 23 Feb). “Cloning Debate.” CQ Press 14.37 22 Oct. 2004. CQ Researcher. Paul A. Elsner Library, Mesa, AZ. The overall picture of human cloning is vastly presented by this Author. His opinions are gathered from various scientists and researchers. The absolute majority of them back up with evidence or authority therapeutic cloning and stem cell research, asserting diseases would be cured by using stem cells obtained from cloned embryos. Nonetheless, the scientists opposed reproductive cloning claiming that the practice undermines the uniqueness of humankind and that it is unethical to put the lives of clones in a condition of being susceptible to harm or injury due to the high failure rate of cloning. However, advocates of reproductive cloning perceive or think about it as a remedial way of helping infertile couples to have their own children. Hansen also gives an account of the views of some critics, on the other hand who are, denying or questioning the tenets of the viability of stem cell psychoanalysis, as shown by evidence that an immunological response that refuses to accept substances or organisms that are recognized as foreign would still occur even if using genetically identical stem cells for transplantation. Moreover, it is morally wrong to bring into existence and then destroy human embryos just for scientific experiments. Other critics also argue that therapeutic cloning would inevitably lead to reproductive cloning; therefore, it is crucial that both types of cloning should be banned. Hayes, R. (2002, June 10) “Break the cloning Deadlock.” Retrieved from Christian Science Monitor. Hayes stated categorically that “people in an intuitive manner appreciates that bringing int
Depression is one of the most common psychological disorders, and it affects a substantial part of the population. The list of historical figures who had some form of this condition consists of multiple names. Sigmund Freud, who was a psychologist and treated patients himself, also at some point in his life exhibited symptoms of this disorder. The goal of this paper is to study the example of Sigmund Freud’s depression and discuss what cognitive-behavioral interventions apply to such a case. Depression is a psychological disorder that negatively affects the mood of a person and is characterized by feelings of sadness and lack of motivation. Symptoms of this condition include problems with sleeping, changes in appetite, and increased fatigue. A strategy for the assessment of the severity of depression should include using questioners, talking with the patients, and observing their behavior (Farmer & Chapman, 2016). Such assessment allows measuring the presence of symptoms, and it helps identify causes of the disorder and potential treatments. In the example of Sigmund Freud, the symptoms of depression including a sense of guilt, apathy, periodic anxiety attacks, and fatigue. The cognitive-behavioral experiment that might address such a disorder should consist of measures that reduce the symptoms and help the client to fix undesirable behavioral patterns (Boyes, 2012). The behavioral aspect of therapy should focus on helping the patient to deal with habits that negatively affect his life. Treatment of Freud’s depression needs to include taking measures to address his addiction to cocaine and developing healthy lifestyle habits such as proper sleep and nutrition. The cognitive aspect of treatment needs to address the emotional state of the patient. The psychological state of Sigmund Freud was affected by the attitude he had towards his competition with other scholars and his ambition (Jones, 2019). Thus, potential intervention should focus on developing a healthy idea of success and competition, reducing stress and negative emotion, and promoting the feeling of self-worth. Depression is a very common psychological condition, and its symptoms include the prevalence of negative emotions, apathy, problems with sleeping, and fatigue. Sigmund Freud was affected by a form of depression and exhibited multiple symptoms of this disorder. The behavioral aspect of potential treatment in his case might include fixing problems with substance addiction, and the cognitive part of the therapy should focus on the attitude towards competition and self-worth.
Introduction In 2012, the UCDP, which is short for Uppsala Conflict Data Program, established thirty-two active conflicts that involve carrying weapons with a minimum of twenty-five battle-connected losses on the territory of twenty-six locations around the world. This amount of conflicts appears to be a substantial reduction from the number of thirty-seven wars chronicled during the previous year. A conflict, ethnic as well as protracted, is considered to be vigorous if there are at least twenty-five battle-connected losses annually in one of the battle’s actions. This rule relates to resolving dyad action and the action of the main belligerent entities as well. A subordinate belligerent entity is, nonetheless, deliberated to be active if it vigorously maintains one of the belligerent entities with consistent troops in the framework of the specified unsuitability. Speaking in other words, a subordinate belligerent entity is not obliged to experience twenty-five battle-connected losses in order to be categorized as vigorous. An alternative of this coding regulation is functional in the framework of the one-sided forcefulness. A one-sided entity is thought to be vigorous if a prearranged assembly experiences no less than twenty-five considered murders of members of the public in a year. Generally speaking, this decade contains a lot more conflicts in comparison to the previous periods of time. A disturbing discovery, on the other hand, is that the amount of internationalized intrastate encounters remained to be at an extraordinary stage for the fourth following year. Overall, the Uppsala Conflict Data Program evaluates that the battles that were vigorous during the given year instigated between thirty-seven (low estimation) and sixty thousand (high estimation) battle-connected losses, with the best approximation of thirty-eight thousand. The battle that appeared to be the reason for the maximum amount of people losses during the given year is the Syrian conflict that caused the approximate number of between fourteen thousand (low estimate) and thirty-one thousand (high estimate) battle-connected losses, with the most precise approximation being fifteen thousand deaths. Eleven conflicts that involved carrying weapons registered during the previous were not vigorous in 2012; on the other hand, three fresh encounters exploded on the course of the year: “India (Garoland), Mali and South Sudan vs. Sudan (common border) – and three previously registered conflicts were resumed by new actors” (Cunningham 2010, p. 117). Last of all, 2012 witnessed an upsurge in the amount of contracted peace arrangements that had been at a very low rank in comparison to the past several years; four agreements were settled during 2012, in comparison to the previous year. Conflicts of an Ethnic Character Furthermore, during the given period of time, thirty-one of the thirty-two active conflicts were battled inside the nations. Out of these numbers, eight were internationalized, or ethnical, which means that they received intercontinental participation with troop sustenance from an exterior nation to one or both belligerent entities in the b
The Displaced Person is an ironic play depicting events in a small Southern dairy after World War II. In this short story, O’Connor depicts the murder of a Polish refugee on a small Georgia farm. One of the characters, Guizac has a great impact on the story’s conflict and resolution. He is a riddle to the Shortly and Mrs. McIntyre. O’Connor uses symbolic descriptions s and irony to create a story conflict and depict the mysterious character of Guizac. One of the unique characterization techniques is symbolic portrayal and irony. O’Connor shows that the writer’s weather makes Guizac handsome and pleasant. Guizac is one of the most intriguing characters: he is a Pole, a Catholic, and a concentration camp survivor. O’Connor creates a unique personality distinct from other characters: he is portrayed as an alien to them. Even his appearance is off-putting: “he was short and a little swaybacked and wore gold-rimmed glasses” and “khaki pants” (195). O’Connor depicts hat when Guizac kisses Mrs. McIntyre’s hand in a vaguely obsequious way and has “a broad grin that [is] toothless on one side” (197). Thus, O’Connor ironically makes Guizac and his family plain. Mrs. Guizac is “shaped like a peanut” (195). Sledgewig, Guizac’s daughter, has a name that resembles “something you would name a bug” (195). What is most unique is that description of Guizac is that his homeliness seems at odds with his role in the story. The story tells that Guizac is meant to be some kind of Christ figure. The irony is that O’Connor him as a man with an ugly face: “Monster! [Mrs. McIntyre ] said. Guizac’s forehead and skull are white where they have been protected by his cap but the rest of his face is red and bristled with short yellow hairs. It seems that the character of Guizac does not fit the overall story because of his appearance and image, thus he is a core figure in it. He is a displaced person with unique qualities so that his goodness fits into the ironic world of the story. O’Connor uses irony and mockery to draw parallels between Jesus and the displaced person. Guizac’s “blasphemy,” creates his fate and the story conflict. This passage is probably the most richly textured in the story. O’Connor makes several important remarks: she underlines a contrast between the splendor of the peacock, with its tail full of suns, and the homelessness of Guizac; O’Connor’s irony opposites a new relationship. at the end of the story, Mrs. McIntyre acknowledges her sinfulness, not because of strong religious
Introduction It’s often in the tranquillity of our lives that disaster strikes creating havoc and emergencies that rip apart families and communities. During the last few years, the media has been full of various natural disasters ranging from ice storms, hurricanes in the Gulf region, Pacific cyclones, blizzards, ice storms, or heatwave spells. The not-so-natural disasters like California wildfires, power outages, terrorist attacks, hazardous chemical or material spills, road, air, and sea accidents, and the multitude of ramifications of these calamities. It is in midst of these alarming circumstances, family and personal safety are crucial and require a great deal of preparedness to cope with the resulting chaos that engulfs individual families. Taking preparatory measures to get ready for any unexpected emergency and reduce the stress help in reducing stress on the family. Every individual requires a formulation of a personal emergency plan of action in place as a basic necessity. Main Discussion The Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) building in Indiana University, Bloomington is the showpiece of the campus catering for student studies, dining, games, entertainment, and shopping mall. The building also has hotels, restaurants, cafes art gallery, and other amenities. In essence, a disaster within IMU would spell a calamity to the soul of the Indiana University campus life. My study on a disaster plan will focus on a plan to avert such a calamity on the monumental building. Whenever large-scale calamities transpire, the various public safety organizations are called in to cater for the emergencies, including the fire departments, police departments, ambulance, and medical. Similarly, the American Red Cross and other volunteer organizations provide support, sanctuary, and other emergency requirements like restoring electricity, communication lines, and requiem’s utilities. However, these private and public utility organizations may not be able to reach the affected people or families due to the logistics of inaccessibility, hence meaning the affected can be left stranded for long periods sometimes leading to catastrophic endings for the afflicted. This is therefore when the need or availability of a personal emergency plan for disaster preparedness comes in. In Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) building, such an episode can strike in the midst of all the activities that occur there during the day or night time creating havoc and panic amongst the multitude of people there. A tragedy can also occur and confine somebody at the building and the basic necessities like water, gas, and communication are cut off for hours or days leaving the individuals stranded, hungry, and cold. Other tragedies can occur due to weather or terrorist attacks and the building is neglected for long periods as the whole region is engulfed in chaos. In case when a disaster strikes (e.g. tornado) and there is an emergency evacuation, it’s required that a strategic location for shelter. It i
Product liability law has evolved from two bodies of law: contracts and torts. Contract law provides the rules for ascertaining the legal responsibilities of parties to formal agreements, including contracts for the sale of goods. Tort law provides the rules for determining whether a person has acted negligently towards someone to whom he owes a duty of case, independent of any contract and whether that negligence caused injury or property damage to others. Personal injury law includes the recovery of compensation in relation to injuries and medical conditions in a broad range of compensable situations. Personal injury law is divided, broadly speaking, into common law and statutory schemes, such as Workers Compensation and Victims Compensation. Manufacturers of defective products could be liable in contract despite the absence of a formal contract or a showing of negligence. Today, it is common practice for injured persons to rely upon all three theories — strict liability, implied contract warranty, and negligence resulting in a tort when they sue. Raising all three legal theories maximizes the potential for injured persons to recover punitive damages awarded because a manufacturer grossly abused his duty to provide a safe product. It also increases the chances of overcoming manufacturer defenses because some defenses apply only to one legal theory and not to another theory. The absolute facts are that product manufacturers, from cigarettes to firearms are being held accountable for the relative safety of their products. Attorneys general from all but four American states unveiled a $206 billion deal with tobacco companies to settle all lawsuits against them (When lawsuits make policy, 2003). The impetus in these consumer-oriented lawsuits is to compel manufacturers to do their utmost in protecting consumers, and ultimately themselves. Along those lines, a number of cities throughout the country, including Philadelphia and Chicago, are considering bringing innovative suits against manufacturers under a nuisance theory, based upon the tobacco lawsuit model. Defects in products include design defects, manufacturing defects, and instructional defects, such as inadequate labeling, instructions for use, or warnings that render the product dangerous. Defects may therefore be introduced into products throughout the chain of manufacture and distribution. There are some significant variations in the standard from state to state. Some states have rejected the “unreasonably dangerous” test and only require that the injured person prove that there was a defect in the design and that the defective product caused the injury. (Committee on Energy and Commerce, 34-39) In West Virginia, on the other hand, the standard employed is whether the product was not reasonably safe for its intended use based upon what a reasonably prudent manufacturer’s standards should have been at the time that the product was manufactured. There have been a nu
