Power may corrupt those who wield it, and the pursuit of power is frequently harmful. People whose life objective is to obtain power over others are condemned to fail since human ambition frequently leads to sinful behaviors, which are inevitably punished. While The government is the system that makes laws and ensures that they are followed, it is the person who wields power who is responsible for the equality and impartiality of its enforcement. Tragedies lie at the heart of Shakespeare’s creative legacy. They represent the strength of his brilliant mind as well as the essence of his period, which is why, if following epochs looked to Shakespeare for comparison, they first understood their struggles via him. Shakespeare’s tragedies have been influenced by a growing number of fresh interpretations. Macbeth, one of Shakespeare’s most renowned tragedies, depicts characters who have been damaged by their ambition and reveals the devastating nature of the desire for power for the sake of authority. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is the most comprehensive portrayal of the individualist as a person who actively and consistently prioritizes what reflects her interests over the interests of others. Macbeth, driven by ambition, is eager to liberate his mind from moral ideals and domestic norms, seeing them as stumbling blocks and meaningless preconceptions. People, like the play’s major protagonists, who are consumed by the concept of obtaining the throne, are frequently corrupted by power and eventually wreck their own lives and the lives of others. Macbeth is a tragedy of overwhelming ambition; therefore, it’s no surprise that its leitmotif is the hero’s words: “I dare everything a man dares,” which are addressed to death itself in the finale: “I wish to experience the last. Macbeth is a tragedy about a colossal personality who had the same chances for victory as death, but valor without wisdom drove it to full isolation from humanity and its soul. Macbeth is willing to kill and betray even close friends to gain the crown and the kingdom. With a dagger, the hero assassinates the sleeping monarch. He also orders the Banquo and Macduff families to be killed. Macbeth does not see individuals; rather, he sees impediments on his route to the throne. After realizing that he might inherit the throne, Macbeth, a brave and powerful warrior and dedicated servant of the king, transforms into a greedy and vicious killer. Lady Macbeth seems to be a more ambitious woman than her husband Macbeth., so Macbeth is far from the only person whose life has been tainted by power. This woman persuades her husband that Duncan should be murdered if he visits their home. “Look like an innocent flower, but be a serpent behind it,” she says to her husband. Lady Macbeth, who aspires to be queen, encourages her husband to commit crimes, therefore defining their fate. Without his wife’s convictions, Macbeth would not have committed all of these heinous acts. The play’s conclusion, which discusses Lady Macbeth’s lunacy and Macbeth’s death, is the primary revelation demonstrating the corrupting nature
Disaster films are films that tell a fictional story or a true story based on a disastrous event. Disaster films, which are mostly feature films, have dominated the commercial cinema since the coming of classical Hollywood. The major feature of these films is their element of spectacular disaster (Mast & Kawin, 2010). This element allows the characters and the events to be unpredictable, and thus the audiences are able to lose themselves as the story unfolds (Law, 2010). This paper seeks to use Cameron’s “Titanic” and Baker’s “A Night to Remember” to develop a better understanding of the genre of disaster films. This paper will also examine how the cultural context has affected depictions of the event from the 1950’s to the present. Scenes of mass destruction have proven a longstanding and pervasive feature of the film spectacle since 1950s science fiction to more recent hybrids of disaster, action, romance and science fiction. Disaster films are not just formulaic and spectral; there is something more to disaster movies than spectacular scenes of destruction and death. Disaster films were reformulated into action films that were produced between 1980 and 1990. In 1990s, disaster films were produced in pure and hybrid forms and recycled disaster films of 1950s and 1970s with added special effects (Rose & Kay, 2006). A good example which will be covered in this paper is 2007 “Titanic.” Disaster films of 1990s reached saturation point with use of similar scenes as witnessed in Independence Day, Titanic, Armageddon and Godzilla which were produced between 1996 and 1998. While Cameron and Baker tell the same story of the ocean liner, Cameron’s story surpass Baker’s story through the building of plot, characters, special effects and realistic aesthetics. This is the fundamental difference between the disaster films of 1950s and the present day films that are more of hybrid genre (Law, 2010). Between 1910s and 1930s, the first instances of disaster films were produced like The Fall of Troy in 1910, Quo Vadis in 1912 and Cabiria in 1914. The movies performed well in America and Europe and some disaster sequences were recycled in the movies that followed. Disaster films of 1930s were different from the earlier movies in that they brought an identifiable new trend and were able to distinguish disaster films from biblical and Roman epics. Fantasy films, science fiction and musical films with scenes of disaster were also produced in 1930s. These films have been dismissed as trashy entertainment but will be remembered as historical epics with a lot of entertainment (Mast & Kawin, 2010). Historical epics of 1950s renewed the popularity of the ancient world. Reli
Executive summary Josephine McMurray, Elizabeth Hicks, Helen Johnson, Jacobi Elliott, Kerry Byrne, and Paul Stolee authored the article, Trying to find information is like hating yourself every day: The collision of electronic information systems in transition with patients in transition , which was published in the Journal of Health Informatics . The article examines the implication of electronic medical records (EMR) coupled with parallel paper medical records on continuity of information in healthcare facilities. In conducting the research, ethnographic field study was deployed as the main methodology for gathering data. The article draws its inferences from results of three main case studies involving older patients having hip fracture and transitioning within healthcare settings (McMurray et al., 2012, p.218). The focus of the article is on the implication of the electronic information systems (EIS) interoperability on the capacity of healthcare providers to communicate amongst themselves and the implication of digital records on transformation of information handling and processing systems within healthcare facilities. According to the article, enhancement of continuity is an important outcome for healthcare information system. In this context, healthcare records are pivotal in enabling care providers to exchange patients’ clinical coupled with demographic information, which is necessary to effect appropriate treatment (McMurray et al., 2012, p.218). Records also aid in accountability transfers, regulatory compliance, and provide means for following up quality of the healthcare delivered. While the authors find documentation important in this extent, they argue that documentation culture consumes 25 percent of the caregivers’ time in a healthcare facility (McMurray et al., 2012, p.218). Improving the documentation process can aid in improvising of more accurate, better quality, secure, and speedy, and even well coordinated healthcare. According to the authors, the above qualities cannot be achieved via paper-based approaches to documentation of healthcare information. This assertion underlines the importance of transitioning to
Introduction   * The Sand Creek Massacre was one of the ill-famed incidents in American History.   * In 1864, the Colorado Territory solders planned to assail the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian villages.   * John Chivington was the leader of the solders.   * He was both a sermonizer and a freemason.   * He commanded the solders to butcher the Indians after the solders spent their night drinking excessively.   * Over sixty percent of the killed Indians were women and children.   * This heinous act has since been known as the Sand Creek Massacre.   * Different reports were given to the press regarding the massacre.   * It was reported that the Cheyenne people were able to resist the attack.   * This report was contrary to the report given by eyewitnesses.   * Further investigation was done concerning the incident. History   * At the start of Civil War, John Chivington rejected the position of chaplaincy because he preferred fighting.   * He became a military officer for Colorado volunteers.   * Chivington inspired his troop during war.   * He received admiration for his success in the Battle of Glorieta Pass.   * Although, the Confederates conquered, John hindered their operation into New Mexico when he took hold of their supply wagons and destroyed them.   * John’s deeds raised controversy in American History.   * Disagreement between the Indians and the United States existed because of land issues.   * The treaty of Fort Laramie allowed the Indians to occupy large territories.   * Pikes Peak gold rush pleaded the government to change the terms of the treaty.   * The Cheyenne and Arapaho people came to Colorado in the 1800s.   * They began their journey from Minnesota.   * Towns emerged quickly because of the gold discovery.   * As a result, the Territory of Colorado was established in 1861.   * The Cheyenne and Arapaho were nomadic people hence required extensive land.   * The region they inhabited was only a small percentage of what they had been promised.   * With the development of the new territory, conflict began between the initial inhabitants and the Indians.   * In addition, there was stiff competition for resources.   * This caused cultural differences between the Indians and the Whites.   * The Indians began to capture trains and mining camps.   * This act by the Indians was enhanced during the Civil War.   * During the Civil War a high percentage of soldiers died.   * A plan was made to kill the Indians when the battle between the Indians and the miners prevailed.   * Tension arose, and US solders murdered the Cheyenne chief.   * The camps of the Cheyenne people were destroyed and the hand of Arapaho chief was shot.   * The Hungate family was murdered near Denver.   * When their butchered bodies wer
Background of the Study The experiences of black women in the U.S. have challenged feminist scholarship to rethink the relationship between race and gender for everyone. Since the middle of the 20 th century, women’s studies scholars have increasingly acknowledged that differences among women arise from inequalities of power and privilege. For African American women, gender is a part of a larger pattern of unequal social relations; how gender is experienced depends with how it intersects with other inequalities (Hooks 8). Research Question What was the position of black women in U.S. society and the reasons why the black women population did not consider themselves as a part of the ongoing feminist movements (in 20 th century)? (Hooks 10). From the research question, I intend to explore the gender ideology of the Black Power Movement, the participation of women, the effect of the fight against racism together with an increased level of race consciousness on gender awareness, and the cultural changes inspired by black power. Although women’s activism throughout America’s history is evidence of emerging feminisms, I intend to focus my research on the emergence of radical feminism in which black women question not only their oppression in society but also the very nature of the gender hierarchy and the hegemonic gender system (Hooks 11). This paper is meant to open debate on how women viewed the much-hyped feminist movement. Significance of the Study I have found the work of Bell Hooks (15) useful in understanding the construction of hegemonic gender orders with hegemonic versions of masculinity and femininity. Hegemonic gender constructs perpetuate the idea that gender roles are somehow natural and therefore immutable. They are developed in such a way to maintain control of and appeal across class and race by displaying essential ingredients to all groups. Until men and women challenge these hegemonic structures, which are continuously being reinforced by the media and other forces and institutions, gender equality cannot fully evolve. Some women activists in the Black Power movement, while fighting against racism and class discrimination, began to question their own oppression but did not go to challenge these structures. An examination of the gender in the Black Power movement and the subsequent development of a feminist movement make a critical contribution to the study of gender in America. There are important similarities between the experiences of women in the Black Power movement in the U.S. including the construction of black masculinity (Hooks 20). Theoretical Approach and Methods The Black Feminist movement emerged as a response to the Black Liberation movement and the Women’s Movement. During this period, the term “black” was often used to refer to black men while “woman” was used to refer to white women. As a result, this led to the neglect of the existence of black women and their needs. The main goal of the movement was to come up with a hypothesis tha
Introduction Over the years, writers have continuously used literary elements to put across their messages. These literal elements differ from writer to writer depending on the type of story under question. Poe in his work, The Fall of the House of Usher and Hawthorne in his work’ The Birthmark; they have employed different literary elements. They include foreshadowing, analogy, tone, setting, personification, and paradox. Foreshadowing is giving advance indications of what may happen. The analogy is the illation that things may mean the same if they are similar in some aspects. The setting means the environment and context in which an event is set, and it may include time, characters, or circumstances, especially in fiction. Personification is giving non-human objects human nature. Tone, on the other side states the quality of someone’s voice. It also talks of the pitch of one’s voice. Finally, paradox means a statement that negates itself. These two stories employ literary elements like foreshadowing, analogy, tone, personification, setting, and paradox. Use of different literary elements The first literary element used here is a paradox. Hawthorne posits, “It was the sad confession and continual exemplification of the shortcomings of the composite man, the spirit burdened with clay and working in matter, and of the despair that assails the higher nature at finding itself so miserably thwarted by the earthly part” (Lauter 1368). Hawthorne uses this kind of paradox to remark on humanity issues like perfection and imperfection. There is also the use of paradox to comment on spiritual and earthly matters. For instance, Hawthorne points, “In his grasp, th
Melbourne architecture deserves the separate attention of tourists, and there are a great number of sites worth visiting in the beautiful, modern city. One of such recommended sites is the Crown Casino that was built in 1994 – it is a giant glass construction on the western bank of the Yarra river bank. There was much debate about the construction of this casino because of the deeply negative attitude to gambling and because of multiple projects and tenders offered by Crown and Pacific/Leighton (Dovey, p. 58). The proposals for construction were presented starting from 1979 but were supported and launched into action only in 1989 due to the evident decline in tourism and the necessity of urgent measures (Dovey, p. 58). The investment planned for the Crown Casino was about $800 million, and the complete building represented a 200-tables casino and a 25-storeyed hotel (Dovey,. , p. 58). It was supposed to have a set of ancillary features: rooftop gardens, showroom, ballroom, glass-enclosed Ferris wheel, and roller coaster, and the “Australian Experience” theme park (Dovey, p. 58). It was planned in the mainstream of urban design. The architects who worked on its creation are Bates Smart, Perrot Lyon, Mathieson, and Daryl Jackson (Melbourne Casino, 2010). “This famous casino is an architectural spectacle, built by multiple architects, one of whom was Daryl Jackson, an award-winning architect. The casino…immediately became one of the central features of the southern banks of Melbourne” (Crown Casino Melbourne, 2010). Unfortunately, upon the completion of construction, the Crown Casino faced much criticism due to the intent of the building and the external design as well. The most common opinion about it was that it was crass, too ordinary, and devoid of good taste. There were also claims that the exterior of the Crown Casino embodied the maximum of architectural clichés of the 1980s and 1990s (Dovey, p. 59). The place has nonetheless become the symbol of renewed Melbourne with gambling, risky, glimmering traits. It is nowadays considered one of the most luxurious and posh places in the city. It is a hybrid by the architectural style, combining a set of types and forms; this characteristic is mostly predetermined by its universal application thereof: “It is a hotel, a shopping mall, a restaurant strip, a collection of gambling halls, a parking garage, an entertainment center with nightclubs, movie theatres and bars, and a health camp. Like channel-surfing television, the transfer from one experience to another is seamless-all is packaged in one giant container” (Melbourne Casino, 2010). The whole construction of the Crown Casino stretches for 500 meters along the bank of the Yarra River. To soften the impact of such a grand building, it was designed in programmatic expression subdividing it into functional areas. Cubic pylons subdivide the façade into nine bays; the casino has a rational linear diagram. The King Street Bridge “intrudes” into the building right in its middle, separating it into two parts. As for the overall construction of the hotel, its 39 floors are also designed
Human behavior is considered to be one of the most difficult things to comprehend: various places require various types of behavior; a person should behave one way with a certain group of people and should not use the same manners with another company. Of course, such issue like human behavior cannot be completely investigated; and all answers cannot be given simultaneously. This is why it is better to start from some concrete situations and analyze them properly, taking into consideration reliable examples and own points of view. Human behavior in the workplace deserves our attention, as people spend so much time at work, communicating with different people; lots of conflicts take place in the workplace, and people should be ready to find out the reasons of their misunderstandings, solve problems, and improve their work and communication day by day. People should always think about workplace behavior ethics in order to be aware of how to do this or that thing, react, and speak, and not to break the settled rules and social norms. “There is a system of industrial, or workplace, justice that exists for dealing with violations of employee obligations.” (Wheeler 1992) This is why human behavior plays a very important role in the life of every person and his/her career growth. People come to one and the same place during a certain period of time; they communicate and develop professional relations; make new friends and check their skills and abilities. So, “how they conduct themselves during these interactions is important to the smooth operation – indeed, to the success.” (Guerin & DelPo 2007) It is necessary to admit that human perception of other people may cause certain tension within the workplace. People get used to make observations day by day: these observations turn out to be both positive and negative outcomes. When people start sharing their personal points of view concerning certain people, events, and places, gossips may appear. People become more and more involved into other people’s lives, introduce their own opinions, create certain accusations, which may lead to conflict in the workplace. This is why it turns out to be rather difficult to cooperation with people and not to create conflicts. “Conflict and cooperation are not neutral processes, good or bad in themselves. Both can have destructive as well as creative consequences.” (Cheldelin et al. 2003) People have unbelievable power to spread rumors and do not think about the consequences and possible hurt that may affect other people. Human behavior is an integral part for those people, who want to build good career and achieve the desirable success in this life. Perception and conflicts are the things, any workplace consists of. People like to observe and gather information about someone else in order to share this information with other people and create a kind of story. Sometimes, such information may hurt and cause negative outcomes,
